Chapter 162 My Welfare Mission 10
Going back to the countryside with her was only a last resort. After all, who wouldn't want a better future? If Gu Qinghan could achieve success, her brothers wouldn't have to live a life of oppression in the future.
"What method?" Gu Qinghan became interested. He didn't know when he stopped treating this young woman as a village girl.
Her knowledge and methods are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
"Of course it's the merit of following the dragon. No one is faster than the other." Si Ke said.
Gu Qinghan laughed after hearing this. Not to mention that he didn't know any of these princes, even if he knew them, who should he learn from since he had just returned to the capital and knew nothing about anything?
As if he understood the look in his eyes, Si Ke said, "The Third Prince, Chen Moyu!"
"But as far as I know, he has no maternal family to rely on. Of all the princes, he is the least favored. Why was he chosen?"
"Because the Third Prince's wife is pregnant, and she's carrying twins. If she can't give birth, she can come to me, and that way we'll have a relationship." Si Ke raised his eyebrows.
"Hehe, it seems that during this period of time you have really turned all the people in the mansion into spies. You actually know all these things clearly." Gu Qinghan was angry and amused.
"Then do you believe me?" Si Ke ignored all this and continued to ask.
"I believe it. I believe everything you say!"
Si Ke knew that Gu Qinghan was joking with her, but what he didn't know was that she had Lao Liu, so naturally no news could be hidden from her.
"Husband, I'm telling you something serious. Don't think I'm joking. Think about it, how many children died in the palace. The second prince was four years old, the sixth prince was three years old, the ninth prince was one year old... Have you ever thought about why the third prince's mother died early and there was no one to protect him, but he was able to live to adulthood?" Si Ke stopped joking with him and said seriously.
After hearing this, Gu Qinghan also understood what she meant, "You mean..."
Si Ke smiled and continued his unfinished words. "Because he has the Emperor's protection!"
"The emperor distanced himself from him openly because he didn't want to give the concubines in the harem a chance to attack him. However, he must have done a lot of things secretly, otherwise the third prince would never have had the chance to grow up." No matter if he has a mother to protect him or not, as long as he is a boy, in such a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, there is no way he is not in danger from birth to adulthood.
Moreover, she learned from Lao Liu that there had been a conspiracy against Chen Moyu not long ago, but he had resolved it because of the secret guards left by the emperor by his side.
"I understand!" Gu Qinghan nodded and began to think deeply.
"I heard the Third Prince has taken a liking to business lately. How about I write down some gourmet recipes and have you discuss them with the kitchen? Maybe we can find something that he'll like?" Making other things is too troublesome; this is the easiest. Meanwhile, Gu Qinghan's illness should be getting better soon.
With a plan in mind, Si Ke began to arrange to bring the Si family to the capital.
Gu Qinghan's condition improved after two days and he would be fully recovered within a month.
Of course, this was all due to the superior medical skills of the court physician, and Si Ke didn't want to show up just yet. A village girl knew medicine? She had only just overthrown Qin Shuang. If this were to get out, the credibility of her previous words would be greatly reduced.
Gu Yun was very happy after hearing the news. After all, his only legitimate son now was Gu Qinghan. With Qin Shuang being demoted, her lame son was naturally no longer a legitimate son.
As for the new wife, it is not known when she will give birth to a son.
Gu Yun naturally considered Gu Qinghan his successor. Arranging a school for him, taking him to meet officials... all of this was on the agenda. Furthermore, he also arranged for him to have two beautiful concubines. The small courtyard they had originally lived in was also vacated, allowing them to move back into the main courtyard.
And now, this village girl, Sike, is absolutely not worthy of his son. He is just waiting for an opportunity to divorce Sike and then find a good marriage for his son.
Gu Qinghan obeyed the Prime Minister in everything except Si Ke, for which he refused to compromise. No matter what Gu Yun said, he would always retort with the words: "One should never abandon a wife who has shared the hardships of life with you."
As for the two beautiful concubines in our courtyard? "My husband, are you really not going there?"
"You've been driving me away all night! Keke, if you drive me away again I'll be angry." Gu Qinghan just felt a headache. What should he do to make her believe him?
"If you don't go over, then only the servants in the cheap mansion will be left!" Si Ke pried open the man hanging on his body and said with a smile.
"Anyone can do it as long as they don't let me go!" Gu Qinghan replied.
"Okay!" Si Ke was naturally happy. So, he went to give a few instructions, and the matter was settled.
The next day, the two concubines were filled with joy. After all, they had been here for several days, and they had finally gained the master's favor. And immediately, this news reached Gu Yun's ears.
This man, once he has one, he will have another. Now he is reluctant to let go of Si Kenian, but it is only because of their past affection. As time goes by, things will change.
Since Gu Qinghan recovered from his illness, he has been going out early and coming back late every day.
Prime Minister Gu only thought that he was in the academy, or drinking and chatting with his classmates and friends, but he didn't know that Gu Qinghan had already established contact with the third prince and was now his aide.
On the other hand, Si Ke bought a large house with three courtyards. Today is the day when Si Daniu and Ma Chunlan will bring their family to Beijing.
After they got him, the whole family hugged each other and cried. Si Ke had only been gone for a few months, but his family couldn't bear to miss him!
The second and third children have grown a lot taller, while the fourth and fifth children are even plumper and no longer as skinny as before. As for the sixth child, a little girl who is just over one year old, she can already call me "sister".
When they arrived home and saw such a large yard and a bunch of servants, everyone was stunned.
Si Ke briefly introduced the manager and the leading maid, and then sent everyone away.
"Dad, Mom, you are now the master and mistress of this mansion. From now on, behave like masters and mistresses and don't let anyone bully you. As for the second, third, and fourth children, they have to go to school starting tomorrow and can't stay home all day wasting their time. The maids will teach you how to distribute the monthly allowance, so even if I'm not around, you don't have to worry." As for the younger ones, if they can't concentrate on their studies, it's not too late to make plans in the future. For now, this is the only arrangement.
The couple nodded repeatedly. In their lifetime, they never thought that one day they would live in such a prestigious house. How could they not be happy?
"By the way, Coco, why don't you see Qinghan?"
"Oh, he went to the academy. He will come over after class." Si Ke explained.
Gu Qinghan naturally wanted to come, but many people in the capital knew him, and meeting him at the city gate would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. And now was not the right time to expose the Si family members to public scrutiny. The later this matter was known, the better.
