Chapter 145 Rules
The man was shocked: "Why is Prince Duan's wife so young?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "The Crown Prince's wife seems to be your wife's sister? Why don't you go over and say hello?"
Ji Yinli would naturally not miss this opportunity.
The Ji family was in urgent need of help, and his father-in-law's family was just a business family, so the only one they could count on was this aunt.
So, he quickly straightened his clothes, walked upstairs quickly, and raised his hand to greet Gu Qinlan: "Yinli greets elder sister, has elder sister eaten yet? If not, you may as well put the bill in my name, just as your brother-in-law treats elder sister."
Gu Qinlan frowned slightly and looked at him with a sharp gaze: "The third son of the Ji family?"
She had never met Ji Yinli in her life, so pretending not to know him was the normal thing for her.
Ji Yinli bowed slightly, with a flattering smile: "It is my brother-in-law."
Gu Qinlan sneered: "You are really creative to use my sister's dowry to treat me to a meal. I won't eat the meal. Qinlian's dowry is limited. You can enjoy it slowly. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, Gu Qinlan left.
Ji Yinli's face was as heavy as a dark cloud, but his followers were exchanging sarcastic smiles with each other, as if they were watching a wonderful farce.
The companion who had introduced Ji Yinli to appreciate the beauty earlier walked to his side, glanced at Gu Qinlan's graceful back, and said sarcastically: "This wife of the prince is really extraordinary. Fortunately, you didn't get involved with her back then, otherwise you would probably be controlled by her day and night and have no freedom."
Ji Yinli pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but his heart was in turmoil and it was hard to describe the feelings.
Although he did not have a deep understanding of Gu Qinlan, he was clearly aware that Gu Qinlan was far superior to Gu Qinlian in terms of family background, appearance, knowledge and talent.
In his early years, his family did choose Gu Qinlan as his spouse.
However, ever since he met Gu Qinlian by chance in a bookstore and had sex with her, Ji Yinli had forgotten about Gu Qinlan. Especially when he learned that Gu Qinlian would marry him with a huge dowry and pave his future, Ji Yinli felt even more lucky. It was a great blessing in life to marry such a knowledgeable and interesting woman who could help him win the imperial examination.
However, things went against his wishes and the actual situation was very different from what he had imagined!
Gu Qinlian's display of knowledge and interest was just a pretense! In fact, she was narrow-minded, domineering, and ignorant. What made him even more angry was that the generous dowry she had promised was nowhere to be found!
On the other hand, Gu Qinlan married into Prince Duan's mansion with a generous dowry.
Ji Yinli felt deeply cheated!
Now when he saw Gu Qinlan again, she seemed so unattainable, and even mocked him in front of everyone for squandering Gu Qinlian's dowry. This made him angry and ashamed, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart.
If he had not been deceived by Gu Qinlian's appearance, what would his life be like now?
The more Ji Yinli thought about it, the more painful he felt, and the more aggrieved he felt, so at the banquet, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, trying to drown his sorrows.
……
In Prince Duan's Mansion.
"I've said it before, trivial matters in school are no problem!" Zheng Fenghui waved the dagger in his hand and stepped into Gu Qinlan's courtyard in a proud manner, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead and his pride beyond words.
Fu Yu looked at his smug look and couldn't help but wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but when she saw Gu Qinlan hinting at her with a look, she had to give up.
Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "It seems that you were chased by wild dogs for three days and three nights before you finally won this opportunity. What are you so proud of?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zheng Fenghui's face, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "How could you understand? This is called sincerity can move mountains and open rocks! If you don't believe me, just look, if it were you, the stubborn old man would definitely not give you face. It was my wit that used a self-torture trick to make the old man soften his heart."
Gu Qinlan snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "It took so much trouble to find a school, and even resorted to trickery. If this gets out, wouldn't people laugh at us and think that there is no one in Prince Duan's Mansion?"
Zheng Fenghui snorted coldly, full of arrogance: "Those schools are looking forward to my patronage, but I don't care about them at all."
He was feeling proud of himself when he was hit hard on the back of his head. The pain made the corner of his mouth twitch. He bared his teeth and shouted angrily: "Which bastard!"
Zheng Huaiyu's eyes widened with anger as he rebuked him, "It's me! Who are you calling me master? Are you itching for trouble? Apologize to your mother now!"
She originally wanted to come over to express her gratitude to Gu Qinlan again, after all, Zheng Fenghui was able to successfully enroll in school thanks to Gu Qinlan's help. But as soon as she entered the door, she heard Zheng Fenghui talking shamelessly.
This is so disrespectful! It defies the laws of nature!
Zheng Fenghui looked at her with a puzzled look on his face: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
A few days ago, this girl called herself "merchant girl", so why does she call me "mother" so naturally now?
Zheng Huaiyu's eyes widened: "You took the wrong medicine! I told you to apologize, did you hear me?"
Under the pressure of blood, Zheng Fenghui had to bow his head and said to Gu Qinlan sincerely: "I'm sorry!"
Gu Qinlan did not argue with him, but said calmly: "Since you have worked so hard to get this opportunity, you must study hard in the future. Even if you can't learn it, you must not make trouble."
Zheng Fenghui replied impatiently: "Oh, I know."
He had worked so hard to get into school, so how could he be willing to endure the pain of dogs barking for a few more days?
"It's alright, I'll go practice swordplay first. Brother Polang said he wants to test me today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away quickly with his sword in hand.
Zheng Huaiyu said with disdain: "This child is so unruly! Mother, in my opinion, we need to find him a master who knows etiquette, so that he won't lose face for our Prince Duan's Mansion when he goes out in the future!"
Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "This world is always tolerant of men. As long as they don't make mistakes on the surface, no one will investigate whether they really understand the rules."
Zheng Huaiyu deeply agrees that the rules seem to be designed to restrain women, while men do not need to be bound by too many rules. In fact, men who are too rigid about the rules will be looked down upon by others.
This world always seems to be unfavorable to women.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Gu Qinlan further enlightened her: "Although the rules are rigid, people are alive. The key lies in how to use them flexibly. If used properly, the rules will be the cornerstone of your success; if used improperly, the rules will become a shackle that binds you."
Although these words were rather obscure and difficult for Zheng Huaiyu to understand, she still kept them in mind.
"Mother, why didn't you tell me directly that it was you who personally searched for Master Xiao that allowed Feng Hui to enter the school?"
In this case, wouldn't Zheng Fenghui immediately understand how deep a favor he owed?
