Chapter 204: Mrs. Gu’s Plan
Mrs. Gu enjoyed seeing Mrs. Jinzhang’s flattering face.
Mrs. Jinzhang waved at the maid in the room, ordering her to serve the tea. She had meant to cause Mrs. Gu trouble, but now she did not dare to. That was why she asked her maid to serve the tea directly.
Mrs. Gu started to drink the tea slowly. After putting down the teacup, she said calmly, “Calm down about Meixiang...”
“...”
“I am here to talk about something else, which is even better.”
“...”
“Is there anybody from the Zhang Family who can marry that b.i.t.c.h girl? Chenyi seems to be at a proper age?” Mrs. Gu said with teeth clenched.
Hearing that it was about the ugly girl Mrs. Jinzhang looked very disappointed.
She had thought that there was something even better, but that girl... that girl had been divorced and she was very ugly. Chenyi was at a proper age of getting married, but he was not going to marry someone like that!
Mrs. Jinzhang did not utter a word because she was totally against the idea.
Seeing Mrs. Jinzhang’s expression, Mrs. Gu understood what she was thinking. “If you don’t want Chenyi to marry her, then pick someone else, maybe the son of a concubine, from the family to marry her.”
“...”
“Honestly, you are earning big by marrying her.”
Mrs. Jinzhang pursed her lips. She was totally against the idea. They were going to be totally humiliated if they married her.
With her eyes upon Mrs. Jinzhang, Mrs. Gu looked arrogant. “Mom, get someone to marry her, it’s best if it’s the son of a concubine. The son is going to get many wives and concubines anyway. So the marriage wouldn’t hurt. She has a lot of dowries and she is running stores with Lord Huai. She is earning a great deal, at least she is related to Lord Huai! Maybe the son is going to be hired directly. What a nice deal?”
“What?!” Mrs. Jinzhang asked with a look of surprise.
She did not like the girl because she was ugly and divorced, but if the whole family could get such great profits by taking her as a concubine, she was not going to let the son of the concubine take it.
If the son of a concubine became highly promoted because of the relations.h.i.+p with Lord Huai. What would Chenyi do? She had to get Chenyi to take this opportunity!
“Sister, don’t ask so many questions. You are not offering your Chenyi anyway.” Then she turned to Madame Zhang. “Mom, get a concubine here, so I can speak with you about the details. If she approves, I can get it done as soon as possible.”
Mrs. Jinzhang panicked, tugging at Madame Zhang. “Madame Zhang, if she is here for the concubine, Chenyi can do it. Chenyi is the lineal son.”
Madame Zhang nodded with approval a.s.suring Mrs. Jinzhang. However, Madame Gu was a very smart lady. “Will Madame Gu approve?”
Mrs. Gu laughed.
“We can do it first before telling her the news, then she will have no way to turn the table.” Mrs. Gu whispered in Mrs. Jinzhang’s ears. When the plan was done, she mentioned. “Get Meixiang to the imperial banquet. She may not be able to marry Lord Ling, but she may still find someone with a great background.”
Mrs. Jinzhang nodded. The Zhang Mansion was never able to get into the imperial court, so she showed courtesy. “You are so capable, Aunt.”
Mrs. Gu smiled with satisfaction. She loved it when people tried to flatter her, because that made everything easy.
When Ruxue married Lord Ling in the future, there would be more and more people who tried to flatter her. She was going to teach those who used to bully her a very deep lesson at that time.
