Chapter 655: The Sister Who Married in Place of Others 10
After a while, Guo Yan glanced at Guo Yueqing, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he uttered those cold words.
"Send Madam Qian back home. You should serve your mother-in-law well, take care of your husband and children, and come back less often. Your sister-in-law is also busy at home."
Guo Yueqing looked at Guo Yan in panic, and immediately crawled over to him on her knees, crying, begging, "Dad, please save me, my daughter.
Dad, I am your biological daughter, you can't just watch me die like this."
Guo Yan closed his eyes and waved his hands. Guo Yueqing quickly begged Li Rumei: "Mom, please save your daughter."
Li Rumei also closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at Guo Yueqing any longer.
Li immediately went out and asked the servants to drag Guo Yueqing out, and ordered that Guo Yueqing would never be allowed in again.
Guo Yueqing was sent back to Qian's house by the Guo family's servants before she reacted.
At this time Qian Fugui also came back. Seeing Guo Yueqing lying on the ground crying, he kicked her lightly with his foot.
"You bitch, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying here? Hurry up and get up, stop embarrassing yourself here."
Guo Yueqing raised her head and said to Qian Fugui, "Don't you care whether it's embarrassing or not? Your sister gave birth to a civet cat for the emperor and has been banished to the cold palace.
Your mother has been thrown out by the eunuchs. We are doomed."
Immediately, the servants in the house looked at Guo Yueqing in horror. Qian Fugui was also stunned and quickly pulled her up.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch? How could Concubine Lan give birth to a civet cat?"
"Go in and ask your mother yourself. She was the one who was thrown back here, and that's what she said. Go ask her yourself."
Qian Fugui let go of Guo Yueqing and immediately ran to the main courtyard. At this time, a servant ran over and said, "Madam, Concubine He is about to give birth."
Guo Yueqing slapped her and said, "If she wants to give birth, go ahead and give birth. I don't have time to take care of her."
The little maidservant was beaten and sat on the ground crying, not daring to talk back. The servants around her quickly pulled the little maidservant away, and in an instant all the servants in the mansion ran away.
Luo Chen watched this farce, clicked his tongue twice, and walked towards Aunt He's residence. At this time, Aunt He was shouting alone in the room.
The others stood outside the door watching the fun. Luo Chen transformed into a midwife, walked in, and helped Aunt He give birth to the child.
The eighth prince was taken out and placed next to this child, and they were born as a pair of twins. As for why they did not look alike, that is a story for the future.
Luo Chen came out and congratulated, "Congratulations, this aunt gave birth to twins. Congratulations."
The other aunts didn't look happy and turned back. Luo Chen also left.
On the second day, the news that Imperial Concubine Lan had given birth to a civet cat spread from the Qian Mansion. All morning, the ministers were still speculating about the emperor's behavior and were ready to ask about it.
But they were scolded as soon as they asked the question, and no one asked again. After all, these two queens and princes were not their family.
There was no need to offend the emperor because of these two people. As a result, as soon as he returned home, the servants came to report that the news was leaked by the servants in the Qian Mansion.
The emperor was furious when his empress gave birth to a civet cat.
The news spread throughout the family in just two days, and the emperor also found out about it. He was so angry that his face turned blue. He immediately ordered an investigation, and the result was the Qian family.
He immediately ordered the Qian family’s mansion to be taken back.
When the soldiers broke in, Qian Fugui was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, his legs unable to straighten, and he kept holding on to his mother.
Both mother and son were terrified, but Guo Yueqing still managed to stand up and ask what was going on.
The officers and soldiers conveyed the emperor's oral order, asking them to move out immediately, otherwise these people would take action. Guo Yueqing quickly packed up her dowry.
Qian's mother also immediately packed up the things in the house, but the officers and soldiers did not allow her to touch anything in the house except her own things.
Even the things that Concubine Lan and the emperor had previously given to the two of them could not be touched. In the end, apart from clothes and jewelry, Qian's mother only packed up two thousand taels of silver.
This was the reward from the emperor for Qian Fugui's wedding, a total of three thousand taels, and Qian's mother hid two thousand taels for herself.
Guo Yueqing's dowry had been almost used up by her in the past six months. The Qian family was almost entirely supported by her dowry, and now they only had some gold and silver jewelry.
She sold the antique paintings and calligraphy these days and exchanged them for silver bills and hid them on her body. After the three of them came out with the servants, Qian's mother immediately told Guo Yueqing that she wanted to live in the uncle's house.
Guo Yueqing looked at the concubine and illegitimate son following behind her and refused to take them with her. Qian's mother now knew that she could only rely on her daughter-in-law.
Thinking that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with another child, he nodded and agreed, saying that he would sell these concubines after they were settled.
A group of people arrived at Bo's house and knocked on the door, but the servants didn't even open the door. They knocked for a long time and still the door was not opened. Qian's mother sat on the ground and cried.
But she was beaten away by servants from the Bo's house with sticks, saying that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and a daughter who marries out cannot live in the house.
Guo Yueqing didn't expect that the Bo family had really given up on her. She cried at the door for a long time and had no choice but to leave. She had originally planned to buy a house.
But the house in the city was too expensive, so I went to a remote place and found a small courtyard with two entrances, which cost 120 taels of silver a year to rent.
Qian's mother asked Guo Yueqing to give money, but Guo Yueqing insisted that she had no money. In the end, Qian's mother reluctantly paid the money, and the group of people moved in.
Because Qian's mother was angry, she ordered that all the concubines with sons be kept, and those without sons be made servants. The remaining servants were all sold off.
Only a maid and a young servant were left to serve Qian's mother, while Sun Danying and her personal maid Lingyin were left to serve Guo Yueqing.
Because the indentures of these two people were with Li Rumei in the Bo Mansion, the purpose was to control these two people.
Guo Yueqing was not allowed to keep any of the remaining Qian's mothers, so she had no choice but to sell them.
With more than half of the people missing from the family, many tasks had to be done by the concubines. In order to avoid doing hard work, these people tried their best to please Qian Fugui.
It just so happened that Qian Fugui had no money to go out and spend his time drinking and partying, so he hung out with these people every day.
Guo Yueqing saw it all and was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She thought she could rely on the Bo Mansion to fight against these two people in the future, but who knew that the Bo Mansion would ignore her.
Luo Chen has not been idle these days. He dresses up as himself and Aunt Fang every day to intimidate Li Rumei and Xi Que. The two are so scared that they can't sleep every night.
Li Rumei even talked in her sleep, which was overheard by Guo Yan. He thought of his beloved concubine Fang and his illegitimate son who died at Li Rumei's hands many years ago.
Guo Yan hated his wife so much that he wanted to divorce her immediately, but his two sons persuaded him to stop and agreed to any solution.
If this matter gets out, both of them will lose face.
Finally, Guo Yan sent Li Rumei to the farm to recuperate.
Luo Chen followed Li Rumei to the farm again, disguised himself as a peasant woman who looked like Aunt Fang, and dragged her to the fields to do hard work every day. If she didn't do her job well, he would whip her.
After being tortured until the day Guo Yueqing gave birth, Luo Chen left.
He quietly returned the indenture contract of Sun Danying that he had obtained from Li Rumei to her, because Qian Fugui had recently taken a fancy to her.

I have a question for everyone.
These two days I remembered a common plot when I read novels and watched TV dramas in the past, which was that two good sisters fell in love with the same man.
Two sisters met a handsome guy one after the other. The elder sister met him first and fell in love with him. She told her younger sister, who then also liked him. However, she knew her elder sister liked him too, so she kept her love to herself.
The elder sister pursues love boldly and persistently, but the handsome boy doesn't like his elder sister and keeps rejecting her. Then he meets the younger sister by chance, develops a liking for her, and starts pursuing her. I have seen this kind of story many times.
Question 1: Since this man does not belong to the elder sister, can the younger sister accept his pursuit if they both like each other? Or should she reject the man for her elder sister?
Question 2: If I accept this man, would it be considered betrayal to my sister, stealing her man? Would it be considered a mistress?
