Chapter 298 The Last Lesson
Madam Guo Luoluo looked at Yu who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and looked at Sanguan Bao who was so angry that he smashed many porcelains, and slowly said: "Now you are a commoner, you should save some money."
Sanguan Bao raised his eyes and looked at his wife. The person in front of him was his first wife. At this moment, she was familiar yet strange. "My master has become a commoner now, and this mansion will be taken back. Are you satisfied?"
"Very satisfied! Seeing you end up like this, I am very satisfied. In fact, I am very confused." Madam Guo Luoluo did not dodge at all. She looked at Sanguanbao and glanced at Yu on the ground. "Do you really favor the noble lady Guo Luoluo and Bu Yinzhu?"
"What do you mean by that?" Sanguanbao looked at his wife. Seeing her sarcastic expression, Sanguanbao was so angry that he could hardly speak. "I know you have been wronged all these years. Fine! I deserve this fate. You have already won. Now you are still laughing at me and saying such things. Is that appropriate for you?"
Sanguanbao was angry at first, blaming his wife and Concubine Yi and her son for being unfilial. But after calming down these days, he realized that he deserved his current fate!
After all, he has been an official for many years. When he calms down, he will naturally not make unreasonable arguments and feel that he is owed something!
Now the emperor still shows mercy and gives his sons a chance. This is good. It will eliminate the rough and retain the essence. Those who are capable will naturally be able to enter the court again!
But isn’t it a bit too much for my wife to behave like this?
"Not suitable? Master, ask yourself, do you really favor Bu Yinzhu? And Yu, do you really favor Bu Yinzhu?" Madam Guo Luoluo did not look at the two of them again, but looked at the sky outside the door and sighed heavily, "When they were little, they stuck together wherever they went. When did the rift really appear between them?"
Madam Guo Luoluo suddenly turned around and looked at Sanguan Bao. When their eyes met, Madam Guo Luoluo's voice suddenly turned cold. "It was from the beginning that you favored Daobao's concubine. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was completely gone. When I used the rules to punish you, you completely broke the rules by doting on her. From that time on, your entire backyard was in chaos. From that time on, the Yu family, whom you now favor, also began to use the Buyin Pearl to steal your favor!"
"From the moment Concubine Yi entered the palace and was favored by the Emperor, you completely disregarded all rules. You were self-righteous and enjoyed the fighting in the backyard. You didn't care at all about how to educate the children. Starting from Daobao, all the children, whether sons or daughters, what did they learn from you? Did they learn that they can get everything by relying on your favor?" Madam Guo Luoluo saw through Sanguan Bao very early on, and completely let go of the illegitimate sons and daughters and never cared about them again!
"Master, do you think that all the faults are on Yu? But Yu used to be the most well-behaved and non-competitive one, but now she has become the one who is best at vying for favor and dares to kill others by any means. Master, if I were her, I would do the same, because I want to live and live well," Mrs. Guo Luoluo saw the changes in everyone, although Yu is now the one hated by everyone!
But Mrs. Guo Luoluo knew very well in her heart that the culprit for everything was not Yu, but Sanguanbao!
Yu was trembling at first, but suddenly she secretly raised her head, found a suitable position to sit on her lap, and watched the show quietly. After hearing what the lady said, Yu suddenly looked in the direction of Mrs. Guo Luoluo. She didn't expect that it was the lady who spoke for her in the end?
After thinking about it carefully, Yu felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. Madam had always been like this. Yu lowered his head silently. Perhaps it was only himself who had changed!
Sanguanbao opened his mouth and finally sighed. After a long while, he asked, "Why didn't you mention it to... me before?"
"You have never heard it, but I have never mentioned it. From the beginning of the estrangement between you and me, only one side is destined to win. Either Duopku, Concubine Yi and I will suffer for the rest of our lives, or we will end up like this," Madam Guo Luoluo looked at Sanguanbao, and when their eyes met, there was a mad determination in Madam Guo Luoluo's eyes.
Sanguanbao narrowed his eyes and said, "You said that I never cared about Buyinzhu, or that I was bossing Concubine Yi and her son around, but what about you? Do you really love Concubine Yi that much?" His eyes seemed as if the wise Sanguanbao of the past had returned. After forty years of marriage, they knew each other very well, or it could be said that they knew each other best, better than themselves.
Madam Guo Luoluo stood up, her lips curled up slightly, "Nalan Zhu knows, Duopu Ku also knows," she turned and walked out, pausing at the door, "This is the last time I teach Nalan Zhu."
Sanguanbao stared at her leaving back, "The last lesson?" Teach her how to be unfilial?
Sanguanbao slammed his fist on the table and finally sat on the chair looking dejected. Now he is no longer Nalanzhu's father!
Sanguanbao closed his eyes. Was he disappointed that he had lost his official position, or was he disappointed that he was no longer Nalanzhu's father?
It seemed that both of them were disappointed. One lost power, and the other had no one to rely on and lost face, making himself a warning to all court officials and families!
"Master~" Yu spoke timidly.
Sanguanbao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yu who was kneeling on the ground. Oh, there was another person. Sanguanbao looked at Yu and said, "Come here, take Yu away. From now on, all the monthly allowance will be deducted. All the treatment will be the same as that of ordinary concubines. All the things that don't conform to the rules will be taken away from her. After finding a place to live, arrange for her to live with other concubines. There is no need to give her special treatment!"
Sanguanbao stood up and looked down at Yu, "I will not punish you. As Madam said, it was I who doted on you, so I will restore all the treatment you receive as a concubine."
"Master~" Yu didn't expect that she would not be punished at all, but would just have her previous treatment restored.
In the main courtyard, Madam Guo Luoluo had people packing up. Duopu had already packed everything. At this time, he walked to his mother's side and said, "Did you hear that? Mother, Yu Shi was not punished by my father. Did you ask for mercy?"
"This is what she deserves. I said it twenty years ago," Madam Guo Luoluo looked at the servants busy at the main courtyard gate with a calm expression, "When she loses the favor of Sanguanbao, what will be waiting for her? No matter what it is, it is her retribution, and she deserves it."
Duopuku shuddered, "Eh~ Mother, you are becoming more and more sinister. Fortunately, Nalanzhu is no longer fooled. My son will leave tomorrow." He handed a palace admission card to his mother, "It's sent by the Ninth Prince. Let you choose whether to enter the palace."
Madam Guo Luoluo smiled and looked in the direction of the imperial palace. There was a hint of relief in her eyes, and a hint of cunning in her relief. "Then let's teach Nalan Zhu another lesson. Not everything has an ending, and not everything requires knowing the cause and effect." Enter the palace?
