Chapter 448 Internal strife
After returning to their residence, several concubines' daughters who had married with the emperor stayed there in fear. After this incident, they realized more clearly Guo Jiaqu's indifference and were worried about their future situation.
Guo Zan also arrived at their house. He looked at the crying Guo Jiamei with a grim expression and scolded her, "Can you calm down before you act next time? She's about to become the principal wife, and you're just a concubine for now! Your statuses are different! Don't take advantage of your status as a legitimate daughter and act arrogantly in front of her! We're not in the Guo family now. If you act carelessly, she'll have every reason to punish you!"
There were only a few concubines in the house, and no servants. His followers were guarding outside the house, so he was less cautious when speaking.
Moreover, because of this incident, he was also affected and lost all face, and could not help but vent his anger on Guo Jiamei.
Guo Jiamei was already upset, and now, after hearing what he said, her anger immediately flared up. She glared at Guo Zan angrily, her voice rising, "Am I showing off? She's deliberately treating us harshly! She even refused to let the servants serve us food. Is it wrong for us to go and argue with her?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at her three illegitimate sisters not far away, and immediately picked up a cup angrily and threw it at them!
"boom!"
The cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, scaring them all.
Then, Guo Jiamei angrily shouted, "You bastards, are you happy to see me get beaten? You actually just stood by and watched! If I'm not doing well, you won't be doing well either!"
She is very angry now. If she doesn't vent her anger, she might suffocate herself to death!
As she spoke, she started picking up the cups on the table and throwing them at them again, this time not on the ground, but directly on their faces.
But they had already begun to be alert, and when they saw her holding the cup, they immediately stood up and dodged her attack.
"Ouch~"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Three cups were thrown at them in succession. Although none of them hit their faces, one cup hit one of them. The person screamed in pain. The cups fell to the ground and shattered one after another.
Seeing Guo Jiamei lose her temper, Guo Zan's face became even gloomier. He immediately grabbed her hand and shouted, "Enough!"
Guo Jiamei shouted angrily: "Not enough! They deserve to die!"
Seeing her frantic look, Guo Zan could only threaten her: "If you don't calm down, I will no longer care about you and leave you to fend for yourself!"
Hearing this, Guo Jiamei's chest heaved with anger, she gasped for breath, and glared at him fiercely, but she eventually calmed down because of his words.
If he really doesn't care about her, then she will suffer!
Seeing his serious expression, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore. Even though he was her biological brother and doted on her very much, it was the first time that he said such harsh words to her.
Seeing that she was no longer making a fuss, Guo Zan softened his heart a little. After all, she was his biological sister, and she had never suffered such injustice before.
He patiently persuaded her for a while, and when he saw that she seemed to be listening, he left and asked his attendants to bring some medicine.
I can only endure today's incident temporarily and take it as a loss. I will get it back after I turn the situation around!
After Guo Zan left, the three illegitimate girls in the room relaxed. At the same time, they began to look at Guo Jiamei with more hostility. They had been patient just now because of Guo Zan's presence. After all, what did this have to do with them? It wasn't them who instigated her to cause trouble!
"What are you looking at?! Quickly clean up this place!"
Guo Jiamei suppressed her anger and shouted loudly, but because her movements were too loud, the skin on her face moved, and she immediately felt pain.
It was really uncomfortable because my cheeks were red and swollen from being hit.
But after the words were spoken, no one was willing to clean up. Their faces all looked unhappy, as if they hadn't heard it.
Are you kidding? This is the servants' job, why should they be asked to clean it up? And it's not because of Guo Jiamei's temper that the house is in such a mess!
Seeing that none of them made any move, Guo Jiamei's expression suddenly became even uglier. "Are you guys rebelling?!"
At this time, Guo Jiaqing, the concubine of the eldest son, spoke up: "Ninth sister just said that you are just a concubine, just like us. What is there to be proud of? What qualifications do you have to order us around?"
There were some things that Guo Jiaqing had been holding back for a long time, but he had been hesitant to say them. However, today's incident made them see the situation clearly. The legitimate daughter of the third house was nothing in front of Guo Jiaqu!
Anyway, she is from the eldest house and is not threatened by the third house. Naturally, she is not afraid of the third house's legitimate daughter who is also a concubine!
The second wife's concubine's daughter Guo Jiayun and the third wife's concubine's daughter Guo Jiaxin couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this. She was so bold that she even dared to challenge the third wife's legitimate daughter.
When Guo Jiamei heard this, her eyes widened in anger again. She couldn't believe it. This concubine who had always been submissive was actually imitating Guo Jiaqu and going against her?!
"How dare you speak to me like that?! How dare you, a lowly concubine's daughter, disregard our dignity and mock me?!"
Guo Jiaqing said coldly: "Humph~ You are a legitimate daughter, you are noble, but aren't you shameless enough to be obsessed with Ninth Sister's marriage, not hesitating to become a concubine, and vainly trying to gain the position of a co-wife. Although we are concubines, we are not as lowly as you!"
As she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she hadn't said these words in front of Guo Jiaqu before. This way, she could have made a good impression and had a place in the Yue family in the future.
Guo Jiamei was furious when she heard this. She was about to pick up the only remaining teapot on the table and smash it, but Guo Jiaqing said, "If you have the guts, just smash everything in the house. Then tell my ninth sister about this. You won't get away with it!"
Guo Jiamei paused, feeling somewhat apprehensive, because the lesson she had just learned was a fact. She took a deep breath, then said viciously, "Very good! You dare to threaten me! Just wait!"
Guo Jiaqing's expression remained unchanged, but her hands clenched slightly. However, in order to no longer be bullied by Guo Jiamei, she did not regret it. Just like Guo Jiaqu said before, now that they are no longer in the Guo family, the people in charge are not from the third house!
Judging from Guo Jiaqu's attitude, the third house will definitely not get any good results, and even the possibility of promoting Guo Jiamei to a co-wife is not high. Otherwise, the Yue family should have agreed to it before, so why drag it out?
Thinking of this, Guo Jiaqing stood up straight, not showing any weakness.
Guo Jiayun and Guo Jiaxin, who were standing by, couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn until Guo Jiamei's maid came in from outside and applied medicine to her. Only then did Guo Jiamei retract her gaze and sit on the chair with a gloomy face.
Now, a group of maids have turned against Guo Jiamei, leaving only one personal maid to serve her. The change in the situation was somewhat unexpected.
