Ever since Shen Qiuyu married into the prince's house four years ago, the relationship between Sun and Gu Xinian has been very delicate.
On the surface, it seemed that Gu Xinian respected her as a grandmother, and there was nothing rude about her words and deeds. But only Mrs. Sun knew best. Gu Xinian treated her with no intimacy between relatives, only indifferent politeness. .This kind of politeness is sometimes even more chilling than yelling and cursing tit for tat.
Just like this moment, Gu Xinian stood there with a faint smile, but there was a coolness in his eyes.
The nameless anger in Mrs. Sun's heart became even more intense. But it was hard to let it out, so she could only swallow her breath bitterly.
Gu Xinian looked coldly at Sun's angry orifices that were filled with smoke but was suppressing it, and a feeling of joy flashed through his heart.
Shen Qiuyu's ambition and greed for vanity are indeed hateful, but what Sun did is really chilling. While he was preparing for the scientific examination, he secretly planned to marry Shen Qiuyu to the prince's palace. After the scientific examination, he was full Returning exhausted but excited, he was greeted by the sound of 囍 characters and the loud sound of firecrackers.
The pain of being deceived and betrayed by relatives, mixed with the pain of having his sweetheart taken away, made him almost unable to bear it. The bloody pain continued to torture him in the years that followed. Even later, he knew It turns out that the real mastermind of that marriage was not Sun at all but Shen Qiuyu, and the family relationship between him and Sun has been completely eliminated.
After his rebirth, he no longer hated Mrs. Sun, but he also had no feelings for her at all.
Gu Hong saw that Sun's face turned pale with anger and couldn't help but glared at Gu Xinian: "Xinian. How can you talk to your elders like this? Apologize to grandma quickly."
Gu Xinian said calmly: "Grandma, I'm sorry." There was no sincerity at all.
Sun's face became increasingly ugly, but she didn't want to get angry. She responded calmly: "Well, you are so old, it is inevitable to have your own ideas and opinions. However, this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Gu Xinian's eyes turned cold. After all, Sun still stood by Empress Gu, just like in the previous life...
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door again. Two slender figures appeared at the door. Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan came.
Everyone stopped at the same time and looked at Gu Xiyu. This situation shocked Gu Xiyu. She thought she had done something wrong and muttered: "Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened!" Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian said at the same time.
Gu Xiyu blinked in confusion, but didn't ask any more questions. Ye Qinglan immediately noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere. There was a vague smell of gunpowder in the room, and the expressions on everyone's faces that had not yet had time to calm down. All showed that they were peaceful. Different tensions.
Thinking back to what happened in the palace yesterday, Ye Qinglan quickly guessed the general outline of the matter. It seems that Gu Hong and his wife came to Shunyitang early to pay their respects deliberately to care about Xiyu's marriage. Looking at this posture, it seems that they have quite a lot of opinions. There are differences...
After greeting Gu Xiu and Sun, Ye Qinglan followed Gu Xiyu and stood behind Mrs. Zheng.
With Gu Xiyu here, the topics discussed before could no longer continue. Everyone tacitly put aside the name Shen Changan and chatted for a few words.
It's just that because of the previous disputes, the atmosphere was always a little strange. The smile on Mr. Sun's face looked fake, and the worry in Mrs. Zheng's eyes was even more obvious.
Gu Xinian quickly returned to normal and chatted with him for a while as if nothing had happened.
After coming out of Shunyitang, Mrs. Zheng specifically called Gu Xinian to go talk to Jingxinyuan. Gu Xiyu reflexively wanted to follow, but Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Yu'er, I have something to do with your brother alone."
Discuss. How about you and Sister Lan going to play in the garden?"
Gu Xiyu did not doubt that he was there and obediently agreed.
Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zheng's hurried back, thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Qinglan turned her head and met Gu Xiyu's curious black eyes.
Of course, Ye Qinglan would not tell the truth, so she smiled casually and said: "I was just thinking about what to do in the morning! How about we find a few maids to play hide-and-seek in the garden?" The latter sentence was joking, obviously speaking.
joke.
Gu Xiyu shook her head without thinking. She didn't want to play hide and seek anymore!
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. Only then did Gu Xiyu realize that she was teasing him, and stamped her feet coquettishly. She was so playful and lively, so cute.
In the next few days, Gu Xinian did not know what he was busy with and rarely showed up.
The atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Sun, was even colder. The usual morning and evening routines became silent and awkward. They often sat with each other for a long time without anything to say.
Not to mention the sensitive and careful Ye Qinglan, even Gu Xiyu, who has a long reflex arc, noticed something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask Mrs. Zheng: "Mom, what happened to you and grandma? Did you quarrel?"
Mrs. Zheng immediately denied it with a smile: "It's nothing, don't think about it."
She was just thinking wildly, something was obviously wrong! Gu Xiyu muttered secretly in her heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Where has my eldest brother been these days?" She hadn't seen him for several days.
Mrs. Zheng responded vaguely: "I'm probably going to attend some poetry club."
No! How could Gu Xinian be in the mood to socialize and have fun at this time? Ye Qinglan lowered her eyelids and secretly guessed Gu Xinian's whereabouts.
Could it be...that he was secretly dealing with Shen Changan?
The more Ye Qinglan thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zheng. However, Mrs. Zheng looked calm, and there was nothing unusual on her face.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran in and reported: "Madam, the concierge has sent a name card. It is said that Mr. Shen from General Mighty's residence is here and wants to visit the eldest young master."
Mr. Shen? Mrs. Zheng's face changed slightly and she glanced at Gu Xiyu subconsciously.
Gu Xiyu looked at a loss, "Mighty General's Mansion? I've never heard of it! But why does this Mr. Shen sound so familiar?"
Ye Qinglan reminded in a low voice: "That's the Shen Chang'an I met in the palace that day."
Gu Xiyu was silent, lowering her head and pinching the corner of her clothes, wondering what she was thinking. Ye Qinglan had been paying attention to her reaction, and was secretly relieved to see her like this.
Gu Xiyu has always been ignorant and innocent as a child. Now she is slowly growing up and starting to have the thoughts of a girl.
From this point of view, Shen Changan's appearance is really a good thing...
Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment and said: "Go to the concierge and tell him that Xinian is not in the house and ask Mr. Shen to come back another day."
The maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement and hurriedly turned around and went out.
This kind of behavior of turning people away is actually very rude. Logically speaking, the visitor is a guest, so at least Shen Changan should be invited in to have a cup of tea before seeing the guest off. By doing this, Mrs. Zheng clearly showed her rejection.
attitude.
As long as Shen Changan is not too stupid, he will definitely understand. From now on, he should give up and never visit again!
Mrs. Zheng thought optimistically, with a smile on her face again.
I never expected that in the afternoon of the next day, Shen Changan's name card would be delivered to Jing Xinyuan again.
Gu Hong went to the Yamen to run errands, but Gu Xinian was not there. Only Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan, were in Jingxinyuan. Mrs. Zheng looked at the name card on the table, with a flash of anger in her eyes. How could this Shen Changan have any good eyesight? No energy at all?
But Ye Qinglan secretly praised it in her heart. When pursuing a girl, it's not good to be shameless. Mrs. Zheng just refused to let people in the first time. If she refuses to see people again this time, she would be really rude to others. Okay. Judging from Mrs. Zheng's personality, no matter how unhappy she felt, she had no choice but to let Shen Changan into the house.
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Zheng say calmly: "Please come in, Mr. Shen!"
The maid took the order and went.
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and said to Gu Xiyu with a smile: "Yu'er, a guest is here. You and Sister Lan should stay away for now!" That Shen Changan wanted to see Yu'er, but there was no way, hum!
Gu Xiyu obediently agreed, but there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved and she asked in a low voice: "Cousin Xiyu, do you want to stay and meet Mr. Shen?"
Gu Xiyu's pretty face blushed slightly, and she gave Ye Qinglan a blank look, but said nothing. But the girl's shy look was obvious.
Mrs. Zheng didn't expect Gu Xiyu's reaction at all. She was stunned: "Yu'er, you...you want to see Shen Chang'an?"
Gu Xiyu remained silent.
Mrs. Zheng was completely stunned. What was going on?
Xinian once said that Shen Chang'an saw Yu'er in the palace, and she looked lustful. Yu'er was frightened and cried at that time. After hearing this, she became furious and expressed her anger towards Shen Chang'an. The impression is getting worse.
But Yu'er's current reaction doesn't seem to dislike Shen Chang'an, but rather seems to have some good feelings for her...
A series of thoughts flashed through Mrs. Zheng's mind, and she asked naturally: "Yu'er, tell me, do you really want to see Shen Chang'an?"
Gu Xiyu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded honestly.
Mrs. Zheng's face turned pale, her eyes felt dark, and her legs felt weak.
Ye Qinglan quickly supported her: "Auntie, please be careful." Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
No wonder Mrs. Zheng had such a big reaction. Even she was shocked by Gu Xiyu's nod.
The fluttering wings of a butterfly may stir up a strong wind in Hokkaido. Gu Xinian's rebirth is certainly bizarre, and her time travel is an incredible miracle. Perhaps because of these, Gu Xiyu's fate will also undergo a complete change.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan's mentality quickly calmed down and she whispered to comfort Mrs. Zheng: "Auntie, there is no need to panic. Since cousin Xiyu wants to meet Mr. Shen, just follow cousin Xiyu." It was a good opportunity to observe what Gu Xiyu was thinking. .
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and nodded.
At this moment, the maid's call came: "Mrs. Qi, Mr. Shen is here!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine. The biggest motivation.)
