Chapter 429: The Old Lady 1 is Abnormal
Chapter 429: The Old Lady 1 is Abnormal
With only ten days left before Si He's wedding, the old lady suddenly regretted her decision to marry her.
There was no reason to go back on her word, and no room for negotiation. The old lady's attitude was very tough, and no one could persuade her. Her temper became more and more violent, and she would get angry at the slightest dissatisfaction, and would beat or smash things, leaving everyone in the several rooms afraid to speak out.
Even the servants who served her personally became cautious, because during this period of time, the old lady seemed to have become a different person. She became more and more angry, punished many servants, and did not allow anyone to serve her closely. Even the nanny who was closest to her in the past was often driven out of the house.
The issue of marrying along affected the interests of the Guo family, especially the first and third houses, because it had been agreed before. The original plan was to have Guo Jiaqiao from the first house replace Guo Jiaqu, and Guo Jiamei from the third house would be promoted to a co-wife.
But after what Guo Jiaqu did, they became concerned and changed their minds.
They thought that they would let Guo Jiaqiao and Guo Jiamei marry in first, and then after they both got their feet on the ground, they would discuss the matter of raising the wives to equals, or spend a large sum of money to support the two legitimate daughters to take the throne.
But now the old lady suddenly changed her mind, which was unexpected and particularly difficult to understand.
So they took turns to persuade the old lady, but every time they were scolded and felt extremely aggrieved.
On this day, it was Guo Shuangjiang who came to persuade, but the old lady suddenly summoned Guo Jiaqu to Fuhetang. This made people wonder what the old lady was planning.
Si He only took Gao You and Gao Zi to Fuhe Hall. Along the way, many servants secretly looked at the reclusive Ninth Miss. The Guo family was in a big turmoil due to many things, but she was one of the few who could stay out of it.
The most important thing is that the old lady, contrary to her usual behavior, regretted her decision to marry with him. She was the one who benefited the most. But what was puzzling was that the old lady had a bad attitude towards her before. She was furious when they met last time and they parted unhappily. But now she made such an abnormal move for her, which was really unbelievable.
Even Gao You and Gao Zi were deeply surprised, so the sudden summons now made people even more curious about what the old lady was thinking.
However, Si He always looked calm, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.
Walking into Fuhe Hall, Si He looked around calmly. There were fewer talismans in the yard, and even the treasures and talismans that were originally hanging on the gate were gone.
There were quite a few people waiting outside the house. These people were originally serving in the house, but now almost all of them had been sent out.
She withdrew her gaze and walked into the front hall of Fuhe Hall. The decoration in the hall had also changed. It became much more spacious and some things were missing. There was no maid serving. Only the old lady and Guo Shuangjiang and his mother were sitting in the hall. Both of them looked very bad, and the atmosphere was tense. There were many broken cups on the ground, making a mess.
After Si He came in, she politely bowed to the two of them, "Jia Qu greets grandmother and father."
Guo Shuangjiang was probably in a very bad mood at the moment, so he just glanced at her and ignored her.
The old lady responded and said to the two maids, "You all leave!"
Gao You and Gao Zi glanced at Si He, and when they saw her nod, they quietly retreated. The next moment, the maid outside the door closed the door and retreated far away.
This has been the situation recently. Perhaps because they didn't want the servants to see the quarrels, the Guo family would send the servants away every time they talked and not let them get close. Without exception, every time they quarreled, there was a fierce quarrel and a mess everywhere. Many things were smashed in the house, so it seemed a little empty. The old lady disliked those things as an eyesore, so she never bought any new items.
"I wonder why Grandmother summoned Jiaqu?"
Si He could tell the old lady's condition at a glance. It seemed that the remnant soul was well controlled. Apart from her hot temper, there was nothing unusual on the surface.
The old lady looked at Guo Shuangjiang, her eyes faintly filled with anger, and said to her: "Your father insisted on letting the girls of the Guo family marry, so he called you here to hear your opinion."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Shuangjiang immediately turned to look at his mother. Why did she suddenly become so biased towards Guo Jiaqu recently?
Si He glanced at Guo Shuangjiang, then listened to the 'old lady' say: "What do you think?"
Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly, took a few steps forward, looked at Guo Shuangjiang, and asked: "Father, do you still plan to let Guo Jiaqiao replace me?"
Guo Jiaqiao is the eldest daughter of the family, the daughter he has doted on since childhood. Only because of this, he insisted on his decision and ignored his mother's opinion.
The eldest and third houses have been arguing with each other these days, partly because they want to gain the greatest benefits from this marriage.
Guo Shuangjiang looked at Si He with anger on his face, but when he met her eyes, the words he was about to say stopped, his gaze became dull and lifeless, and he sat quietly in the chair.
The 'old lady' on the main seat, although she had seen her use this strange method many times, still found it incredible every time she saw it.
Si He did not waste any time. She whispered to Guo Shuangjiang about some things, especially the location of the hidden treasury and related matters.
It was naturally her idea to move the Guo family's treasury out of the city.
Since this money is their confidence, she will take it, and they will be able to live in peace in the future.
Guo Shuangjiang was under her control, answered one by one, and handed a bunch of keys to her.
The 'old lady' watched quietly. She didn't care about the money, but she did a good job of what she asked.
All it wants is revenge as soon as possible.
After a while, she stopped asking questions. After thinking for a while, she took out a silver needle and gently pricked several acupuncture points on Guo Shuangjiang's head. His face suddenly became a little painful and a little hideous, as if he was about to wake up.
Her eyes narrowed and she tightened her grip, while her hands kept moving.
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The 'old lady's' eyes were fixed on her movements and Guo Shuangjiang's condition.
After a while, she put away the needle, took out the handkerchief, wiped it clean, and then put the things back.
At this time, Guo Shuangjiang had closed his eyes and sat quietly in the chair, as if he was asleep.
Si He turned to look at the 'old lady', gave it some instructions, and then walked out. After leaving, she closed the door again.
The servants outside heard the noise and looked over, but the moment she came out and closed the door, they heard shouting and scolding coming from the room again. It was the old lady who was angry again. Everyone was used to this kind of situation.
