Capítulo 1550: Chapter 1553: They Fooled Everyone
Aunt Chen snorted disdainfully, “I know this kind of thing shouldn’t be spoken about recklessly, but I just have to tell you all, or I simply can’t get over it in my heart!”
“What do you an by that?” Everyone felt that Aunt Chen was speaking in a roundabout way and grew a bit curious.
“Ah!” Aunt Chen sighed deeply, “Us ordinary folks, aren’t we just trifled with by those noble Princes? They say everyone has a chance, but the Crown Princess was decided long ago; they’re just playing with us for amusent. Isn’t that infuriating?”
People looked at each other, and those who hadn’t heard of these matters naturally didn’t understand what Aunt Chen ant.
After being stunned for a mont, soone asked, “Does Aunt Chen an that the choice didn’t matter, and the Crown Princess is actually Gu, the doctor from Jisheng Hall?”
Aunt Chen snorted, “We’ve all been deceived. Gu Youyou actually knew the Crown Prince long ago, and they got married among the common people. Later, didn’t the Crown Prince return to the Imperial Court? Probably, he felt it was inappropriate for a Prince to marry a common girl’s daughter and staged such a show, deceiving everyone.”
Everyone secretly clicked their tongues. If it were truly as Aunt Chen said, they indeed were quite treacherous.
They were already married, yet they still staged a selection for the Crown Princess and even said commoners could participate, making fools of everyone. Isn’t that deception?
But now, they’re the Duke Ning and Duchess Ning, so what are we ordinary folks to them? Even being toyed with, we can only grumble silently. If it were ordinary people, we’d surely sue them.
“Is that true?” Aunt Zhou found it hard to believe, “I heard Gu the doctor truly has skills; otherwise, would the Emperor agree?”
Gu Youyou’s dical skills are visible to all; it’s said that her calligraphy was chosen by various Ministers, and the clothes Manxiu Building customizes every year; most of those designs are her work, which everyone sees. They can’t be faked.
So, there are still people speaking up for Gu Youyou, “Maybe there’s so misunderstanding? Apart from her humble origins, Gu the doctor truly matches the Crown Prince in every way.”
Aunt Chen pursed her lips and snorted, “Aunt Zhou, no matter how great Gu Youyou is, she shouldn’t toy with us! I’m not saying she lacks ability, but I’m indignant that they staged a Crown Prince selection and toyed with us. Ai, I saved my private money for over ten years. To make sure my eldest girl could get chosen, I gritted my teeth and took it all out to buy an outfit from Manxiu Building for her.
Hmph, I heard there are quite a few like , foolish enough to spend their life savings, mostly to buy Manxiu Building’s clothes, just so their daughters could be selected. I guess this whole selection was a trap they set with the purpose of earning our money. Look at how wealthy Manxiu Building is now? Didn’t they just swindle us?”
“Then… isn’t Gu Youyou’s character too despicable, deceiving us for money?”
“Isn’t it? Those outfits cost as much as our family would spend in several years without food or drink, all cheated away by them. Thinking about this, my heart aches… a stabbing pain!”
These few people started speaking quietly, but soon couldn’t suppress their ever-growing emotions, growing louder and louder.
The Shopkeeper on the side was initially oblivious, but after listening for a while, and as the voices of the won grew louder, he finally caught on to the conversation.
