An Ning brought the four maids from her yard. At this time, Biyu and Hongyu were serving An Ning dinner, while Xiaomei and Xiaolan were guarding the door.

Gu Qingxuan and An Ning said they would be back soon, and they really meant it. An Ning had just finished her meal when she heard Xiaomei, who was guarding the door, come and report, "Princess, the Duke is back." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingxuan walked in.

He looked at the empty dishes on the table and said, "You must be starving. Is the food in the mansion to your liking?"

An Ning nodded and said, "It tastes good."

Gu Qingxuan ordered Biyu and the others, "You guys go out." Biyu and the others looked at An Ning, who nodded, and then they left the room.

Gu Qingxuan picked up the wine glass on the table, filled it with wine, and said, "Aning, let's drink this cup of wedding wine!" The two crossed their arms and drank up the wine in the glass together.

Gu Qingxuan blushed and said to An Ning: "An Ning, it's getting late now, why don't we go to bed early!"

An Ning had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run, so she naturally knew what Gu Qingxuan meant by "Anxie". She thought of the book that Gao stuffed in her yesterday, and her face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She nodded embarrassedly.

Seeing An Ning nodded, Gu Qingxuan picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. He lowered the bright red bed curtain to hide the view inside.

The next day, An Ning felt the fiery gazes around her and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Gu Qingxuan who was staring at her with a smirk on his face and shyly buried her head in the quilt.

Gu Qingxuan chuckled and said, "Aning, come out quickly, or you'll get hurt." Then he put his hand into the quilt.

An Ning was too tired last night, so she fell asleep directly after finishing the job, and she was naked at the moment.

Gu Qingxuan originally wanted to tease An Ning, but he didn't expect that this would ignite him and his breathing became heavier unconsciously.

An Ning knew the situation was not good when she heard it, so she quickly got out of bed. As expected, she saw that Gu Qingxuan's eyes had become fiery, so she quickly said, "Let's get up quickly, father is waiting for us to serve tea!"

Gu Qingxuan lay flat on the bed, calmed himself down, and then got up and dressed. He said to An Ning, "I'm going to wash up." Then he said to the person outside the door, "Come in and help Madam get up." After that, he walked out.

The maids outside the door saw Gu Qingxuan leave, and then they filed in with toiletries. An Ning bathed and changed her clothes under the help of the maids, and changed into a bright red dress, with a bun on her head, symbolizing a married woman.

Just after I finished dressing up, I saw Gu Qingxuan walked in. He was not wearing the black robe he usually wore, but an indigo robe, which made him look even more handsome and tall.

The two walked side by side to the old marquis's yard. At this time, the old marquis was already sitting in the main seat, and the seat next to him still placed the spirit tablet of Gu Qingxuan's mother. The old marquis looked at the young couple walking side by side, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Gu Qingxuan and An Ning bowed to the old marquis and said, "Greetings to father."

The old marquis said with a smile: "Get up quickly!" He was usually a decisive and ruthless man, but now he was as kind as an old grandfather next door.

An Ning took the teacup from the maid and said to the old marquis, "Father, please have some tea."

The old marquis took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and then handed the prepared gift to An Ning, saying, "This is your mother's favorite headpiece when she was alive. Before she died, she asked me to give it to Xuan'er's wife."

An Ning accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, father, thank you, mother." An Ning took another cup of tea and poured it on the spirit tablet, saying, "The daughter-in-law offers tea to mother, please have some tea."

The old marquis looked at this scene with satisfaction, and was even more satisfied with An Ning. He handed the couple's plaque and key to An Ning and said, "Here are the couple's plaque and key. Since you two are married, you will be the head of the family from now on."

An Ning did not refuse, took the cards and keys, and said, "Father, your daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of the family and will not let you down."

After serving tea, the old marquis said, "Okay, let's go have breakfast."

After the three of them finished their breakfast, the old marquis said, "I love quietness. From now on, except for major festivals, you can eat in your own courtyard."

An Ning looked at Gu Qingxuan, and Gu Qingxuan said, "Okay, is father going to go out again this year?"

The old marquis shook his head and said, "I won't leave this year. Let's wait until next spring." The few of them talked for a while, and then Gu Qingxuan took An Ning back to the yard.

After returning from the main courtyard, Gu Qingxuan pulled An Ning to the study, and gave all his private property to An Ning, saying: "An Ning, these shops and fields are all my private property. An Ning, you are capable and should do more work, so just take care of them together!"

An Ning smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will pocket it all?"

Gu Qingxuan said nonchalantly: "If you like, let's go to the government office tomorrow and put all these in your name. Anyway, I am your husband and you have to support me."

An Ning stopped talking. This is what it means to regard money as dirt.

The next day was the day to return to the parents' home. Gu Qingxuan and An Ning returned to the Rongchang Earl's Mansion with two carriages full of gifts.

Gao and An Dashan had been waiting at the door for a long time. Gao looked outside from time to time. Finally, An Ning and Gu Qingxuan's carriage appeared at the entrance of the alley. Gao and An Dashan hurried out to greet them.

The carriage stopped, Gu Qingxuan and An Ning got off the carriage, bowed to An Dashan and Gao, and exchanged a few words. Then Gao took An Ning to look carefully up and down, and then took An Ning into the mansion, followed by Gu Qingxuan and An Dashan.

Gu Qingxuan and An Dashan went to the front yard to talk, while An Ning was pulled back to the main yard by Gao. Gao asked worriedly, "Ningning, is Qingxuan treating you well?"

An Ning nodded and said, "It's pretty good."

An Ning looked around and said, "Why can't I see little An Rui?"

Gao said, "That kid knew you were coming back today, so he got up early, but he got sleepy before you came back, and he's falling asleep now."

As they were talking, they heard a series of "thump thump thump" sounds, and then a small figure ran in, threw himself into An Ning's arms, and said, "Sister, you're finally back. Now that you're back, you're not allowed to leave again!"

An Ning smiled and picked up the chubby little An Rui. Gao said, "Your sister is married now, and she will live in her husband's house from now on."

Little An Rui burst into tears when he heard this. An Ning and Gao Shi took great pains to coax little An Rui into silence. Finally, An Ning promised, "Sister will come back to see you more often in the future, okay?"

Little An Rui nodded with sobs and said, "Sister, you have to keep your word!" Finally, the two of them made a pinky promise, and little An Rui burst into laughter.
