Chapter 395: Parents Don’t Need Assessment
It's simply that they feel that they have served the emperor and are now driven out of the palace by him. They must be out of favor and would be a burden to keep them at home.
In order to solve this problem, she specially rewarded them with gold, silver and jewelry, just to let those people see that they were driven out of the palace not because of bad luck, but because of royal grace, so that their families could accept it more easily.
I didn't expect that it would end up hurting them.
First there was Wu Yuan, and now there is Zhang Ran.
It’s very good, really very good. No one takes the royal family seriously anymore.
She would sow discord in front of the emperor later and make sure that those family members who bullied them would get the retribution they deserved.
However, the incident between Wu Yuan and Zhang Ran served as a wake-up call for her.
Zhang Ran was lucky enough to meet her and the emperor, and was able to intervene and deal with these matters.
But there are probably thousands of Wu Yuans and Zhang Rans in the world. They may not have the same luck and be able to come to her for help. Even if she gives them a jade pendant that can help them find her, so what? Zhang Ran is the best example. She was locked up by her family and could do nothing.
"Yunhe, you go to Wen Nuan's mansion later and ask her to pay more attention to the sisters who left the palace. If you have any problems, tell me." Gu Jianchu lived in the palace, and even if he wanted to intervene or ask about it, there would be many inconveniences, so he could only ask Wen Nuan to do this.
Wen Nuan is now a young lady from a marquis's mansion and can move around easily.
Moreover, ever since her uncle and mother were dealt with, she and her father have been getting along very well. A few days ago, Wen Nuan sent her a letter saying that the Marquis said that if she wanted to marry, she could marry, and if she didn't want to marry, she could stay in the mansion and the Marquis could support her for the rest of her life.
However, Wen Nuan was not one to be complacent. She followed the Marquis to Jiangnan to start a shipping business. Wen Nuan had a very good business sense. In just two months, she earned enough capital to open a rouge and powder shop in the capital.
These are all digressions.
Seeing that Zhang Ran was wearing so little in the snow, Gu Jianchu asked Zhu Xia to give one of her cloaks to Zhang Ran, and then asked Qiutou to help her up.
Zhang Ran was only helped to stand up, but when she saw Gu Jianchu's rabbit fur cloak, she refused repeatedly, "I appreciate the Queen's kindness, but I am dirty, so I will not wear the Queen's clothes to avoid getting them dirty."
"What's the point of being dirty? You're wearing so little in this freezing weather. I'm afraid you'll get cold."
Seeing that Zhang Ran was still apprehensive and didn't accept it, Gu Jianchu smiled and said, "This cloak is given to you by me. You can wear it with confidence now."
Gu Jianchu handed the hot water bottle in his hand to Qiu Tao, who then took it to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran wrapped herself in Gu Jianchu's thick cloak and held a hot water bottle in her hands, only then did she feel a little warmth.
Gu Jianchu had Zhang Ran brought to the carriage, thus narrowing the distance between them. "Zhang Ran, if you have any grievances, just tell me. I will naturally take care of it for you."
"But I lost the jade pendant that the Queen gave me." Zhang Ran spoke in a low voice, no longer having the courage she had just to be hysterical.
"It's just a jade pendant. If it's lost, it's lost. I have said that if you have any problems, come to me and I will try my best to help you solve them. So no matter what grievances you have suffered, you can tell me." Gu Jianchu guided patiently. She could see that Zhang Ran was like a frightened deer in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment. Even her body was shaking.
Gu Jianchu noticed Zhang Ran's gradually bulging belly and asked, "And what's wrong with your belly?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ran covered her belly as if she had suffered some great humiliation.
Gu Jianchu immediately smelled an unusual smell.
Zhang Ran’s matter is probably not simple.
[Beast, simply a beast.]
[You can't call animals names. Animals wouldn't do such things. They're worse than beasts.]
Gu Jianchu's emotions gradually became agitated, his fingers tightly gripping the soft quilt under his body, a strong murderous intent gradually rising in his eyes, and the aura around him gradually became oppressive.
Hearing Gu Jianchu's incoherent curse, Xie Ci'an couldn't help but frown.
However, his queen has always been gentle. As for the matter to make his queen so angry, it must be more complicated than that. I just don't know whether it was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites or the Minister's father-in-law who did something worse than an animal.
In comparison, Xie Ci'an is now more concerned about Gu Jianchu's health.
Gu Jianchu's pregnancy was already unstable, and being so angry might affect the fetus.
Xie Ci'an raised his hand and grasped Gu Jianchu's clenched fingers. He placed her hand in his palm and gradually stretched out her fingertips. "Those beasts will be dealt with. Ah Chu, please don't get angry. It's not good for your health."
Gu Jianchu turned his head and met Xie Ci'an's firm and tender gaze, but there was a hint of coldness and anger under this gaze. Xie Ci'an was probably angry about stopping the imperial carriage to complain.
This way it would be easier to handle things later, and she wouldn't have to add fuel to the fire.
However, with Xie Ci'an's comfort, Gu Jianchu's mood eased a little.
This kind of animal pollutes the air when it's alive, wastes the land when it's dead, and wastes water resources if thrown into the water. Even if I feed it to wolves, I'm afraid they'll suffer from indigestion after eating this kind of dregs.
[In my entire life, I've never seen a parent act this way. If you don't know, you might think this is something only stepparents would do. Who would have thought this is something biological parents could do?]
[Joining the imperial court requires various tests, but getting married, having children, and becoming a parent don't require various tests. This is truly ridiculous.]
Xie Ci'an had never seen Gu Jianchu so angry.
He could only try his best to comfort Gu Jianchu.
Xie Ci'an handed a cup of hot tea to Gu Jianchu and said, "Drink some hot tea first and take your time."
"I don't want to drink it anymore." Gu Jianchu raised his hand and pushed back the hot tea that Xie Ci'an brought to him. He was very angry and couldn't drink anything.
When the Emperor first ascended the throne, his brother-in-law, the Minister of Rites, had other ideas. At the urging of his colleagues, he also wanted to send a woman into the palace to help him plan his future. Furthermore, inserting a woman into the Emperor's harem was a sure win, especially since the previous dynasty was unstable at the time. Everyone took advantage of the Emperor's marriage to the Empress to fill his harem with women.
[Furthermore, at that time, the Emperor needed these women to stabilize the previous dynasty. Naturally, the Minister of Rites was overthinking what everyone else was doing. If the woman gained favor, he would be able to rise to prominence. If she didn't, he wouldn't lose anything, except for the woman's life.]
