Chapter 142

The Duke's Mansion still dotes on Chen Xueyan, the first daughter.

Chen Xueyan only became the prince's side concubine. Although they also hated iron for being weak, in fact, it was not bad.

The prince is the future emperor, if the queen's family is too powerful, she will definitely be suspected of interfering in politics.

Therefore, the princess concubine chosen by the royal family for the prince can have a noble family background, but not a powerful one.

The Duke's Mansion pinned its hopes on Chen Xueyan's belly.

If she can give birth to the eldest son of the crown prince first, the mother is more valuable than the son, and the son is more valuable than the mother, in the future...the future will definitely be limitless.

Therefore, the Duke's Mansion will basically satisfy Chen Xueyan's request.

After Chen Jingyu went back, he discussed with Mr. Chen, and directly demoted Guo's father and son from their posts, and gave him a lot of face.

The Duke's Mansion is extremely powerful in the imperial court, so their attitude will naturally affect other people.

The life of the Guo family father and son suddenly became difficult.

They inquired many ways before they found out the whole story.

The Guo family father and son were angry and anxious, and immediately asked someone to deliver a letter to Guo Ning, asking her to apologize to Concubine Chen immediately and beg her forgiveness.

Guo Ning finished reading the letter, folded it calmly, and burned it on a candle.

"My lord, are you taking care of your family?" Xiu'er asked anxiously.

"How can I take care of them." Guo Ning finished quietly, took the needle and thread, and quietly embroidered.

Xiu'er was in a hurry: "Didn't the master say in the letter, as long as you confess your mistake to Concubine Chen, the Duke's Mansion will definitely forgive the Guo family..."

Guo Ning glanced at her: "Why should I confess my mistake to Concubine Chen?"

"Because... because only in this way, the Duke's Mansion can forgive Master and Young Master." Xiu'er said.

She is the son of Guo's family, and her mother, brother and sister-in-law are all working in the mansion.

The honor and disgrace of the Guo family is closely related to her family.

She must wish the Guo family well.

Letters from the Guo family were sent here one by one. The words in the letters ranged from pleading to harsh, to reprimanding, and finally almost turned into exasperated curses.

But Guo Ning was not in a hurry.

She still makes tea, reads, plays the piano, and embroiders. Slowly, unhurriedly, gracefully and calmly.

Xiu'er was dying of anxiety, and couldn't help urging: "Little master, why are you not in a hurry? If this continues, our house will be really sad. Don't you care about the life and death of the master and young master?"

A faint smile flickered across Guo Ning's lips: "Why did they ever care about my life?"

Xiu'er was stunned: "Young master's words, servants don't understand. The master loves the young master very much. In order to send the young master to the palace, he was selected, and it cost a lot to clear up..."

"It's just for their own sake." Guo Ning didn't raise his head, "They think that if they send me into the palace and become a prince's woman, they will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future? Oh, in the end, don't they want to kneel down? Survive at the foot of the Duke's Mansion."

"But, but, shouldn't this be the right thing to do?" Xiu'er couldn't understand, "The young master is the legitimate daughter of the Guo family, so it's right to work hard for the future and honor of the Guo family."

How many high-ranking families and famous families are working hard to train their children, isn't it just for the future of the family?

In Xiu'er's view, for the sake of the family, let alone suffering a little grievance, even if she lost her life, there should be no complaints.

Guo Ning smiled faintly: "But I don't want to be a pawn of the family, sacrificing myself for their good life."
