If it was Luo Manniang, she would have patiently explained at this time, for example, she did not mean to blame her daughter, hinted that Gu Nianshuang liked to cry, etc.
But Chu Yunli didn't have the patience, and said with a half-smile, "Since you know the cause and effect, why are you asking me?"
Gu Zong: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, looking her up and down as if he didn't recognize her.
Chu Yunli let him look at it, while the old god continued to drink tea.
Gu Zong sat next to her, "What happened to you today?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly figured it out." Chu Yunli raised her hand to pour him a cup of tea, "If you can't force something, you should give up early."
Gu Zong picked up the teacup and looked down at the tea leaves in the cup, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking."
He was indeed just asking, but it was a big deal in Luo Manniang's eyes.
Luo Manniang suddenly became the young lady of the Gu family. In the words of outsiders, she was like the smoke of her ancestors. She had accumulated a lot of virtue over many lifetimes. Although she had done well over the years, she still felt inferior in her heart. She was afraid that she might not do anything well.
She looked down on a pair of children. And... deep down in her heart, she actually admired Gu Zong.
Gu Zong is good-looking, elegant and talented, and he is her man, so it is difficult for her to keep her heart. But she also knows how she, Mrs. Gu, came to be... With all these things, she becomes more and more cautious, for fear of being sent away by him.
There was silence in the room. Gu Zong sat for a while, then got up and left.
In the past, Luo Manniang was gentle and carefree, expecting him to stay a little longer. This time, Chu Yunli didn't say anything.
Whether love comes or not, it’s best if it doesn’t come!
Anyway, with Gu Daoyu here, as long as he lives well, there will always be a place for her in the Gu family.
Unfortunately, Luo Manniang couldn't see clearly, or in other words, she was not only afraid of leaving, but also afraid that this man would alienate her.
The next morning, at dawn, Gu Daoyu arrived with his sister. The two children were from good backgrounds, but they were also hard-working. They had to study every day since they were six years old. Gu Daoyan also learned the rules of female celebrities, so they didn't have a few days to spare.
After Chu Yunli got up, she took the two of them to Mrs. Gu's yard.
Nowadays, Gu Zong's father is still in charge of the house, and Mrs. Gu lives in the main courtyard. When Chu Yunli arrived, a group of beauties were retreating out.
The biggest difference between Gu Zong and his father is that his father raised more than 20 people in his backyard, while Gu Zong's backyard...she was the only one.
Seeing mother and son entering the door, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but smile a little. She waited for the three people to salute and said with a smile, "No need to be polite."
Chu Yunli sat aside, while Mrs. Yu asked about Gu Daoyu's daily life in detail, with a smile on her face. She and Mr. Gu both liked this smart grandson, and they also liked Gu Daoyan. The twins grew up healthily.
It is very rare. Many people think it is auspicious and means that the Gu family will be more prosperous in the future.
Not long after, Gu Daoyu and his sister got up to leave, and Mrs. Yu agreed with a smile.
After they left, Mrs. Yu waved away the maid and said, "Did Nian Shuang cry again yesterday?"
Yes, there is not only Gu Zong's eyeliner, but also Yu's eyeliner.
Luo Manniang and Mrs. Gu seemed to be having an easy time, but in fact she was still under the eyes of the Gu family and could not allow her to relax at all.
"I cried. I didn't ask any questions and asked her to go back and rest." Chu Yunli said calmly, "She is already sixteen. We coax her no matter what when she is at home, but if she gets married..." Who will accept it?
Come on?
If your daughter-in-law cries every day, she might feel unlucky, right?
Mentioning this granddaughter, Mrs. Yu also frowned. Secretly, she didn't like this granddaughter. Her son had few heirs in recent years and only had Daoyu as his descendant. She knew why in her heart. It was precisely because she knew that she looked at Gu Nianshuang's expression.
Zhang's face was similar to her mother's, which made her even more unhappy. Coupled with her temperament, if it weren't for the blood of the Gu family, she would have just thrown it aside.
While we were silent, a mother-in-law came from outside to report, "The big girl is here."
Mrs. Yu came to her senses and said, "Invite her in."
Today, Gu Nianshuang is still dressed in plain clothes, with simple hair accessories and a light application of makeup. She still looks like a weak-minded person.
When Mrs. Yu saw her like this, she wanted to frown. As she got older, she preferred bright red and purple clothes. This junior was dressed in plain clothes, as if she were keeping a filial piety. If it weren't for her, she would have had to let her change into this outfit. She was full of blame.
He was about to speak out, but he held it back and asked softly, "Why did you cry yesterday?"
Gu Nianshuang glanced at Chu Yunli and said, "It's none of my mother's business. It's my fault. Grandma, please don't blame my mother."
Chu Yunli: "..."
She rolled her eyes secretly. If someone who didn't know the inside story looked at her expression and listened to these words, anyone who wasn't stupid would think that she was being bullied by her stepmother.
Mrs. Yu has become accustomed to her behavior over the years, and she didn't think it was anything at first, but just now her daughter-in-law said it so straightforwardly, and now when she looks at the delicate girl in front of her, she doesn't think anything is wrong.
Apart from anything else, if Gu Daoyu were to marry a wife with such a temperament...
terrible!
Mrs. Yu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and said in a deep voice, "Don't cry like that in the future, as if you have been wronged so much. I don't know, I thought your mother was treating you lightly."
Hearing this, Gu Nianshuang's eyes turned red, "Grandma, I didn't mean to..." Before she could finish her words, tears welled up in her eyes.
Yu held her forehead and felt a headache.
Chu Yunli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Seeing Gu Nianshuang crying so hard that she was out of breath, Mrs. Yu became impatient and said, "I will ask Sanxi to go to your yard later and teach you some rules. You must learn from her seriously. If you learn two points, your
Life will be better."
Gu Nianshuang was well-behaved and blessed, "Yes."
After she left, Mrs. Yu sighed, "Let's see if we can get her back."
In the past, Luo Manniang never mentioned Gu Nianshuang's upbringing in front of Mrs. Yu, but today was the first time.
It was almost afternoon before Chu Yunli returned to her room. It was rare that Gu Zong was at home today and came back for lunch.
Chu Yunli didn't object to eating with others, but this meal was not good. Not long after eating, the maid came in and said, "Miss Shuanghe is here. She said she has something important to see the uncle."
Chu Yunli didn't even raise her head, "Invite her in."
This Shuanghe girl, let’s start with Liu Shuanghu again. This is her sister from the same mother. Liu Shuanghu died and left a daughter. The Liu family was worried about it, so they asked Liu Shuanghe, who was only thirteen years old, to take care of her.
Not to mention what the Liu family was thinking, she had been living here for more than ten years anyway. During this period, both Gu Zong and the Yu family mentioned that they wanted her to get married, but they were not happy and said they could not worry about their niece.
I have stayed here like a guest for many years.
It’s a joke for merchants to talk about rules. The rules are all set by themselves. Outsiders did say unpleasant gossip. However, after being severely punished by Gu Zong several times for the servants who made rude remarks, gradually, no one in the Gu family mentioned it, and outsiders
Not many people know about this.
Liu Shuanghe is nearly thirty years old and has never been married. She looks quite young, in her early twenties. She is also dressed in plain clothes, has a slight frown on her brows, and has a slim waist. At first glance, Gu Nianshuang's temperament has changed with hers.
Eight points.
She walked in slowly and said to Gu Zongyifu, "Brother-in-law."
Chu Yunli: "..."
"Today, Madam actually sent Grandma Sanxi to our yard to teach Nian Shuang the rules." Liu Shuanghe frowned, "Nian Shuang's rules are very good. There is no need for this. She is already weak. She would have learned more.
Now, what should I do if I get sick again?"
Chu Yunli held her chin up and looked at the woman in front of her. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Zong's expression was a little dazed, and her heart moved slightly. She suddenly remembered that Liu Shuanghe and Liu Shuanghu were sisters. Could it be that this woman looked very similar to her sister?
Well, the Gu family has only kept her for so many years, right?
Luo Manniang had never seen Liu Shuanghu, and Chu Yunli was just curious and couldn't compare.
Gu Zong was surprised and looked at Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli said nothing and smiled at him.
Taking the initiative to explain something like this would never happen to her.
However, it can also be seen from this that Gu Zong has no informants in the main courtyard.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Liu Shuanghe continued, "Not long after Madam went to the main courtyard, Granny Sanxi arrived."
This is almost explicit.
He asked, "What's going on?"
Chu Yunli smiled brightly, "It's really because of me." After saying this, she noticed the joy in Liu Shuanghe's eyes, and she sneered in her heart, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, "Nian Shuang went to say hello in the morning, mother, I don't want to ask any more questions.
I said something about her crying, and she cried hard again. I said at that time that we, the elders at home, are willing to accommodate her now. When she gets married, I wonder if her husband and mother-in-law will be equally willing to accommodate..."
Having said this, Gu Zong's face turned ugly.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, who can be patient with such a woman for a day or two because of her appearance? Who can be patient for a long time?
Even if Gu Nianshuang marries low in the future, her husband's family will not dare to neglect her for the sake of the Gu family, but how will the Gu family know about private matters, such as what happens in the couple's room?
Thinking of this, Gu Zong also felt that it was right to send Sanxi away.
"Nian Shuang is weak. What should I do if she gets sick after studying too much?" Liu Shuanghe looked at Chu Yunli with a righteous look on his face and asked, "This stepmother has her own child. She really has an impure mind. What do you want?"
Is Nian Shuang sick? What are you worried about?"
Chu Yunli blinked and looked at Gu Zong, "I am the master, right? Why is this guest bigger than me?"
Liu Shuanghe's face froze.
Gu Zong lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Mother has her own reasons for her arrangements. It's true that Nian Shuang is weak, but it would be good for her to learn more. You just need to take good care of her, that's all."
Chu Yunli felt happy every time he thought of Liu Shuanghe's face at that moment. To be precise, Luo Manniang felt happy. This man was not a guest, but he secretly made her suffer a lot of grievances.
As a little girl, Gu Nianshuang had no intention of getting into trouble with her stepmother, but that was not the case for Liu Shuanghe.
After she left, Gu Zong couldn't eat anymore. Seeing Chu Yunli eating deliciously across from him, he couldn't help but said, "You asked your mother to send Sanxi to Shuangyuan, do you want to embarrass Nian Shuang?"
"So what?" Chu Yunli looked at him calmly.
Gu Zong never expected that she would admit it directly and frowned, "I told you not to embarrass Nian Shuang. Otherwise..."
"Drive me away, right?" Chu Yunli answered and continued, "Dao Yan is also your daughter. She has to learn various homework every day since she was six years old. It doesn't matter if you are partial. If Nian Shuang can't get on the stage,
People will say that I flattered and killed your precious daughter."
Gu Zong's expression changed drastically.
Chu Yunli's smile deepened, "No one knows that the person who wants to kill Nian Shuang is you, the father who loves her dearly."
Seeing that Gu Zong's face was pale, Chu Yunli felt that it was not enough and said the last sentence, "You think you are doing it for her good, but in fact you are harming her!"
