Chapter 676 Made a Mistake

"Your aunt is a special guest today, so you mustn't make a fuss with her."

As Ouyang Jing spoke, she obediently handed Gu Congzheng to Gu Shuyan.

"Your mother is now living life to the fullest, and she spends all day making fun of others."

Gu Shuyan hugged Gu Congzheng and teased him with a smile.

The little child didn't understand what the adults were saying, and just kept smiling foolishly to express his joy at seeing his aunt.

"Where did Second Brother go?"

After playing with Gu Congzheng in the room for a while, Gu Shuyan saw that Gu Congzheng had fallen asleep and was being carried away by the nanny. Only then did she ask Ouyang Jing.

When Gu Yingjie was mentioned, Ouyang Jing's smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of sorrow.

"He went out early this morning, probably has something to do!"

Ouyang Jing's words were ambiguous, and seeing the sadness that flashed in her eyes, Gu Shuyan's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking back to Gu Yingjie and Ouyang Jing's relationship, the two had only been married for a little over a year. Could it be that her second brother had found a new love outside?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Shuyan's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Something's wrong? Isn't your sister's homecoming a big deal? Why are you going out at a time like this?"

As Gu Shuyan spoke, she turned to look at Pearl and said, "Let's go to Second Brother's study and ask where he went."

Pearl knew that her young mistress was going to avenge Ouyang Jing, so she immediately agreed and quickly led two people to Gu Yingjie's study.

The servant originally wanted to keep Gu Renjie's whereabouts a secret, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided not to continue hiding it from the young lady.

When Gu Yingjie was arrested, he was in a small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

Since Gu Shuyan couldn't come looking for him herself, she had Zhong Lin and Wu Yin go together to capture him and bring him back.

They assumed that Gu Yingjie had set up the courtyard to keep women inside, but when they hurriedly knocked on the door, they found a room full of men.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Lin and Wu Yin were both extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gu Yingjie reacted quickly. As soon as he saw the two of them come in, he knew that Gu Shuyan wanted to see him. So he made an excuse and sent everyone present away.

After the last person left, Gu Yingjie turned to Zhong Lin and Wuyin, "Did your sister send you?"

Gu Yingjie doted on his younger sister Gu Shuyan, and even when Gu Shuyan interrupted his conversation, he showed no sign of anger.

"Second Young Master, Madam did not see you when she returned home for her wedding. She was worried that you might have encountered some trouble, so she sent two of us to check on you."

Wuyin has been following Gu Shuyan for some time now, and her ability to adapt to changing circumstances has improved considerably.

"I had completely forgotten that my sister was going back to her parents' home today."

Gu Shuyan married nearby and would visit the Marquis's residence every few days, so even though his younger sister was married, Gu Yingjie didn't feel much sadness about not being able to see her.

That's why Gu Yingjie completely forgot about the homecoming ceremony.

Seeing Gu Yingjie hurrying out, Zhong Lin and Wu Yin exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

In Ouyang Jing's courtyard, Gu Shuyan was talking to Ouyang Jing. When she saw Gu Yingjie return, Gu Shuyan did not greet him.

"Shu'er, why didn't you react at all when your second brother came back?"

Gu Shuyan then seemed to notice him and said calmly, "Second Brother, what kind of response do you need from me?"

Gu Shuyan looked up at him, and Ouyang Jing wanted to get up to greet him, but Gu Shuyan grabbed her arm.

After giving Ouyang Jing a comforting look, Gu Shuyan got up and pulled Gu Yingjie out.

"Sister, what's wrong? Is there something you can't say in front of your sister-in-law?"

Gu Yingjie thought Gu Shuyan wanted to whisper something to him, but as soon as he said that, Gu Shuyan shot him a cold glare.

"Brother, do you know that there are no things you can tell your sister-in-law behind her back? If it weren't for the fact that you and sister-in-law had a good relationship, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring this marriage together. Now, you've only been married for a little over a year, how could you do something so absurd?"

Gu Shuyan's words left Gu Yingjie completely confused.

"What are you saying, sister? What absurd thing you've done?"

"Doesn't your brother know what he's done?"

Seeing that Gu Yingjie was still pretending to be stupid, Gu Shuyan's tone immediately became somewhat unpleasant.

What exactly did I do?

Gu Yingjie felt utterly wronged. How could his sister's words make him feel like a heartless man?

Gu Yingjie looked completely innocent, hoping Gu Shuyan would give him a clear answer.

Seeing that he stubbornly denied it, Gu Shuyan was about to voice her suspicions when Wuyin called out to her.

Wuyin had just walked over when he saw his wife's questioning posture. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over.

He whispered a few words in Gu Shuyan's ear, and when he heard that Gu Yingjie hadn't gone looking for any women or anything he had planned, Gu Shuyan's face turned red.

"Of course I won't tell my second sister-in-law what I'm going to do, so she won't overthink it. It's not easy for a woman to raise a child alone, and her husband isn't even by her side. It's good enough that she hasn't made a fuss about it."

Gu Shuyan abruptly changed the subject and told a lie.

If it weren't for Wuyin's reminder, Gu Shuyan would probably have already said all the things she shouldn't have.

Gu Yingjie had thought Gu Shuyan would say something else, but after hearing what she said, he felt relieved.

"Little sister, you don't know this, but there are some things I don't tell your sister-in-law because I'm afraid she'll worry. However, I really didn't expect her to overthink things because of this."

Gu Yingjie had deep feelings for Ouyang Jing, and he cherished the opportunity to marry her.

Therefore, Gu Yingjie didn't want her to worry about those things, so he found a place to stay outside and discussed matters with those people.

Unfortunately, Gu Yingjie had thought of everything, but he hadn't guessed a woman's delicate thoughts.

I have been frequently leaving the manor lately, only thinking about getting things done as soon as possible, but I did not expect that I would neglect Ouyang Jing without realizing it.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll be more careful in the future, at least so that your second sister-in-law won't worry too much."

Having reflected on his own mistakes, Gu Yingjie immediately smiled and assured Gu Shuyan.

He knew that Gu Shuyan and Ouyang Jing had a good relationship, and that Ouyang Jing would definitely tell her if something happened.

Gu Yingjie was very grateful that Gu Shuyan reminded him today.

"In that case, Second Brother, why don't you have a good talk with your sister-in-law?"

Gu Shuyan then bid farewell to Gu Yingjie.

Back in the front yard, seeing Gu Shuyan looking preoccupied, Yun Yichen slowly walked over.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy."

Gu Shuyan looked up at Yun Yichen, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "I think I did something wrong."
