Gu Anan, however, acted as if nothing happened or heard anything, lowering his eyes and pruning the flower branches in his hands.
She was wearing a long skirt, but the simple cut outlined her slim figure. The exposed collarbone was straight, as clear as jade, and exuded a light luster.
Her hair, which was as dark and shiny as seaweed, was pulled back into a simple French bun, and was simply held up with a shark clip.
A few strands of jet-black hair leaked out and hung gently beside the cheeks, making the skin more radiant and white. Even if no makeup was applied on the face, the skin was good enough, and the lips were also pink and tender.
She lowered her eyes and pruned the flower branches with her long white fingers.
It looks like a painting carefully drawn by a master, exuding a unique sense of beauty.
However, in the eyes of those servants, this scene was like a nightmare.
Not to mention, the surroundings were very quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Gu Anan pruning flower branches with scissors.
"Click."
"Click."
"Click."
One sound after another sounded very rhythmically, almost like a reminder.
What these servants just said was not whispered. Since Gu Anan could appear behind them, how could he really not hear anything?!
Therefore, even if Gu Anan didn't say anything, some servants were the first to fail to hold on.
"Madam!" the servant suddenly shouted.
Gu Anan paused for a moment, raised his eyes, glanced at the servant, and asked, "What? Is something wrong?"
Her tone was still so calm.
The servant swallowed his saliva and said, "Madam, please don't take what we just said to heart. It's because we talk too much and don't know how to understand. Don't blame us!"
Gu Anan was a little surprised and couldn't understand the servant's words repeatedly.
"What does it mean to be too talkative and ignorant? Did you just say something?"
"us……"
Gu Anan had no intention of answering the call, leaving the servants in a dilemma.
"Say it." Gu Anan's lips still curved into a smile, "Why don't you say it anymore? What did you just say?!"
The servants were still hesitant and unable to speak.
"boom!"
Gu Anan slammed the scissors in his hand onto the table, making a loud noise.
The servants were startled. They were already extremely nervous. At this moment, they couldn't help but their legs softened and they knelt down in front of Gu Anan.
Gu Anan said, "Why did you suddenly kneel down when I asked you to speak? If others saw it, they would think I was bullying you."
"Or……"
Gu Anan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is this how you plan to pour dirty water on my head?!"
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
As soon as Gu Anan said this, the servants were so frightened that they waved their hands to explain.
"Madam, we really didn't mean this. We were just talkative and ignorant, so..."
"That's wrong, right?" Gu Anan sneered, "I've only been here for a few days in the Huo family's old house? You have been in the Huo family's old house for at least more than ten years, and you are all old people who watched Si Ting grow up.
Woolen cloth."
"I should be the one who is ignorant. How could it be possible that a few old people are ignorant? Right?"
As soon as Gu Anan said these words, these servants immediately understood that Gu Anan was not a good person.
She just heard everything they were saying about her behind her back.
However, Gu Anan did not lose his temper immediately.
If Gu Anan loses his temper and punishes these servants, then even if they get in front of the old man, the Huo family's old house will not fire them because of their friendship over the years.
It's even possible that Gu An'an couldn't bear it clearly and deliberately established his authority in front of the servant.
It didn't matter that Gu Anan didn't lose his temper, he even pretended not to care, and now he was holding them tightly.
"Madam, you can punish us however you want. We know we were wrong and we will never say anything behind Madam's back again." One of the servants said.
"Yes, yes." The people next to him also echoed, "Madam, please forgive us!"
"There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive. You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, if you don't get up quickly, people will see you then, and it will be me who did the wrong thing."
Gu Anan said coldly.
The servants quickly got up, "What the lady means is..."
"I don't mean anything." Gu An'an said, "I have only been here a few days. I heard that the Huo family's old house has a lot of rules. I don't dare to give random orders, lest it spread out and it won't sound good."
"I will tell Si Ting about this matter when the time comes, and how to deal with it will follow the Huo family's rules. After all, this is the Huo family's territory, not my Gu family's territory. Of course, it will be handled by the Huo family."
Gu Anan said, holding up the pruned flowers and turning to leave.
As soon as these words came out, the servants were so frightened that their expressions changed.
"What, you want to tell the third master?! There is no need to tell the third master about such a trivial matter! You are also a member of the Huo family!"
"Really?" Gu Anan said calmly: "My surname is Gu and my name is An An. I, Gu Anan, am just married to Huo Siting. How can I be considered a member of the Huo family?"
"At best, I am just staying in the Huo family's old house for a while. I will inevitably have to go back when the time comes. Of course, it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Si Ting."
These servants finally understood.
Gu Anan did this on purpose.
They used to talk behind each other's backs, mocking Gu Anan, who would not be the wife of the Huo family for long, but now, Gu Anan blocked them away with just a few words.
"Madam, we really don't mean that. The third master is busy with his affairs, how can he trouble him with such a small matter at home!?" Others tried their best to dissuade him.
Gu Anan suddenly realized, "What you said seems to make sense."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what they said finally had an effect.
The next second, I heard Gu An'an continue to say: "It doesn't matter if I say it, it doesn't mean if I don't say it, anyway, nothing I do is right. Otherwise, you guys can take turns being the wife of the Huo family. I'd better go back to my home to cool off as soon as possible.
Bar."
"I'll tell Si Ting right now and ask him to think about this proposal carefully."
Gu Anan once again said something shocking, which scared the servants to the point where their legs went weak.
If this really reaches Huo Siting's ears, then they and the others will be doomed.
After all, who doesn't know that Gu An'an is now Huo Siting's heart and treasure, doting on her to the extreme and not allowing him to suffer any grievances?
"Madam, please don't..."
Someone else tried to say something.
Gu Anan sneered and interrupted: "You are still madam, what are you doing as madam? Didn't you secretly say that I am not worthy of my position? I am indeed not worthy of this position. If you have the ability, then you will be the one. Now I
Opportunities are placed in front of you, and you tell me not to?"
"What, who is the wife? Why do everyone have such big opinions? Do I have to treat you all like Lafayette and follow your wishes one by one?"
Gu Anan's words immediately made the servants dare not say a word.
They all understood what Gu Anan meant and closed their mouths tightly. They didn't dare to speak casually anymore and covered their mouths.
Gu Anan sneered and started to leave. When the servants saw this, their eyes widened and they whined, fearing that Gu Anan would leave just like that.
Gu Anan didn't look back at them, but walked out holding the flower in his hand and said lightly: "It seems that this flower cannot be placed in a place like this. It is really dark and unlucky, so it should be placed in a place with more sunshine."
."
Seeing that she disappeared, the servants let go of their hands and could see the gray look on her face.
"It's over, it's over."
If Gu Anan went back to complain to Huo Siting, they would all be doomed!
However, as time passed, these servants did not receive any news asking them to pack their bags and leave the Huo family's old house, and they were extremely worried...
…
Gu Anan hasn't decided yet how to deal with those servants.
Although they were gossiping behind their backs, it would be logical to fire them, but Gu Anan knew better that those few people were not the only ones gossiping.
All the servants were probably talking behind their backs, but those few were brave enough, so she happened to hear them.
It's okay to drive out one or two, but she can't wait behind these people and eavesdrop every day, and chase all the servants out every day.
Although she has been staying in the Huo family's old house, she is indeed a little idle, but she is not idle to that extent.
Today is fifteen.
According to the rules of the Huo family, there is no need for people from several courtyards to meet frequently. After all, everyone has official business to attend to.
But on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the Huo family's old house will gather together.
In addition to Huo Siyin and Huo Yuntian, the eldest brother, there was also Huo Siwen from the second house, and Mr. Huo's adopted daughter, Mrs. Chen, was also present.
Not only that, Mr. Huo also appeared in the Huo family's old house for the first time in a long time.
I don’t know if today’s meal can go on normally.
Gu An'an actually didn't have high hopes, but seeing Huo Yuntian calling himself and Huo Siting third uncle and third aunt like he had eaten a pound of flies, thinking about this scene, in fact, this meal
It’s not too bad either.
Mrs. Chen took the lead to find Gu An'an. When she saw the flowers in vases all over the house, she couldn't help but praise and said: "I didn't expect you like flowers so much? It seems that you are much more talented than me. I used to let me do it at home."
It’s a pity that I can’t learn these skills.”
"Mrs. Chen, why are you here?" Gu Anan was a little surprised.
"Why can't I come?" Mrs. Chen said deliberately: "Don't you welcome me?"
"That was not what I meant……"
"I know what you mean." Mrs. Chen grabbed Gu Anan's hand and said, "Do you think that when you and Si Ting appeared together at the birthday banquet that day, I would be as opposed to you as Mr. Huo?"
"Of course I'm not. I came here specifically to wish you well, and I even gave you a gift."
With that said, Mrs. Chen asked someone to bring the gift up.
"During this period, I collected some money and made a longevity lock. I even went to the temple to consecrate it. When your child is born, you can put it on your child. This is for your child.
.”
"Of course, I also have a gift for you. Even though you are pregnant now and going to be a mother, I know you must also love beautiful things, just like these flowers in the house."
"These cosmetics are specially made and are very suitable for pregnant women, unlike those outside that contain inappropriate ingredients."
"Of course, I know Si Ting dotes on you very much, so I will definitely prepare this for you, but it is still a little bit of my thoughts, I hope you can accept it."
Gu Anan was stunned. He didn't expect Mrs. Chen to be so enthusiastic, and so enthusiastic that it didn't look like she was faking it.
So, she reminded her, "Mrs. Chen, although I am Si Ting's wife now, there are actually many people who disagree..."
Among them, of course, Mr. Huo and others are included.
Mrs. Chen was the first to express her position, which was somewhat disadvantageous to her.
"What does it have to do with me if others disagree?" Mrs. Chen looked surprised, "Should I still look at other people's faces?"
"I have already said that I want to accept you as my goddaughter, but I didn't expect it. Damn it, Huo Siting made the first move, and now I can only call you my sister-in-law. It's so painful.
daughter!"
"Since you can't be a daughter, you are also my sister-in-law. What's wrong with me giving you some gifts? Isn't this normal? If others don't like it, then let others dislike it."
"Anyway, as long as you know that I stand behind you, I support you. If you suffer any grievances, you can tell me. I will never let those who bully you go." Mrs. Chen said in a very strong tone.
Although, Mrs. Chen is just Mr. Huo's adopted daughter and has no blood relationship with the Huo family.
At this moment, Gu Anan inexplicably felt that Mrs. Chen and Huo Siting were the same kind of people.
You can't see it on the surface, but deep down...
They are all quite strong and domineering.
Of course Gu Anan did not refuse and said, "Then I will accept it."
As she spoke, she touched her belly and said, "Although the child is not very old now and I don't know if he can hear it, I would like to say thank you to aunt on behalf of the child."
Mrs. Chen immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "I will be an aunt one day!"
As she said that, she looked at Gu Anan's belly and said: "My husband and I have never had a child. I will definitely take care of your child as my own! After all, my own children will never be as good as others'.
I like to recognize other people’s children the most!”
Gu Anan was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he should laugh or be helpless.
Mrs. Chen is really keen on recognizing children...
Soon it was time for dinner.
Gu Anan originally thought that something would happen against him, but he didn't expect that the meal would be spent in silence without anyone speaking.
Even if Huo Yuntian was probably in front of Mr. Huo or because he was scared by Huo Siting before, he behaved himself and didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Gu Anan.
