Chapter 378 Qiao Niang scolds Mr. Gu and comforts Yuan Niang

They hired a private tutor for Nian Nian a long time ago, and not just one, but three.

In addition to teaching how to read and write, there are also teaching how to manage the household and how to teach rules and etiquette.

Nian Nian is a very good student. Even at a young age, you can see that she has excellent family education and etiquette.

But the child still yearns for freedom in his heart.

She also wanted to go to college like her brothers...

Yun Qiao also told Chen Jingyan privately that it would be great if Nian Nian was born in modern times, so that she could study freely.

After Chen Yang came over, Chao Chao and Mu Mu took Chen Yang away from the academy.

Xiao Shilang was still young and had been pestering his brothers to go to the academy, so Yun Qiao sent him there for a while.

But he was too young and would just play in the academy. The academy teacher privately contacted Chen Jingyan and asked him to take his youngest son home.

Look, Xiao Shilang just came home.

The older children in the family have all gone to college, leaving only Nian Nian and Xiao Silang. Qiqi hasn't come yet and is probably still eating.

Before Qiqi came, Gu Heng came instead.

"Second brother, have you eaten?" Chen Jingyan asked when he saw Gu Heng coming.

Gu Heng shook his head, but looked at Yun Qiao, "Your Highness, Yuan Niang has been acting a little strange lately. I want to know, has Yuan Niang told you anything?"

Yun Qiao calmly put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

Then he said, "What did Second Master do recently? Do you need outsiders to remind you? Yuanniang married Second Master because she begged and pleaded for him. So, Second Master hurt her time and again, and she accepted it. Now that she has found something to do and doesn't bother Second Master anymore, why are you rushing to show concern for her? Now that you care about her, what were you doing before?"

But Yun Qiao took the opportunity and gave Gu Heng a good scolding.

Gu Heng was speechless.

Chen Jingyan pressed Yun Qiao's hand, signaling her not to say too much and further intensify the relationship between Li Yuan and Gu Heng.

Yun Qiao knew what he meant.

Then he said nothing more.

Gu Heng stammered, "I was busy with business before and couldn't take care of Yuanniang and the child."

"Second brother, since we've come to this point, let me ask you, do you have any mistresses outside?"

What Li Yuan didn't ask, Yun Qiao asked directly.

Gu Heng's eyes flickered, and then he said: "She is not my woman, but..."

Just what?

Yun Qiao knew what he was thinking without asking. Before, Yun Qiao also wanted to peek into Gu Heng's heart, but she couldn't find the opportunity. She always had no time to be alone with Gu Heng. Now that she had time to be alone, she could learn more about him.

"It seems that Second Brother has something to hide. Actually, when it comes to women, you don't have to intervene. It might be better to let Yuanniang handle it."

Gu Heng said: "Yuan Niang doesn't trust me in the first place. If I say this, she will definitely misunderstand me even more."

This is also what Gu Heng has never told Li Yuan.

"Just be honest with her and explain it clearly this time. Otherwise, if you and your wife continue to be like this, how can your relationship be repaired? Chen Yang is worried about you guys."

Yun Qiao felt sorry for Chen Yang.

Gu Heng nodded and said, "Well, I found a chance to explain it to Yuan Niang."

Yun Qiao didn't give Gu Heng a good look either.

Seeing that he could not get anything from Yun Qiao, Gu Heng turned around and left without saying anything.

Chen Jingyan felt sorry for his second brother as he left. After he walked away, Chen Jingyan looked at Yun Qiao.

"What you said just now was a bit too harsh. I feel that my second brother still cares about Yuan Niang very much, not like what you said. Look how fierce you were just now."

Yun Qiao glared at him, "Chen Jingyan, what do you mean? Do you think I'm mean? Well, let's get a divorce. You find someone gentle, and I'll take care of the child, and we'll be fine."

"Look, look, you're here again." Chen Jingyan said with a smile.

Yun Qiao ignored him and turned around and left.

Silang was still eating slowly, and food was all over his clothes. The maid was tidying it up for him.

Yun Qiao saw this and said with a smile, "Silang, we are not young anymore, why do we have to eat our whole body when we eat?"

Yun Qiao said this and took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Mom, this is delicious, you should eat it too."

"Mom has eaten."

After asking the maid to take good care of Silang, Yun Qiao took Nian Nian to the small courtyard where the private school was taught, and Xiao Tao followed with some tea and snacks.

While talking to Yun Qiao, "Don't worry, young lady, I will take good care of her."

"Miss, you don't know this, but as I watched Miss grow up, I remembered what you looked like when you were a child. Miss Nian is so much like you when you were a child."

Listening to Xiao Tao chattering.

Yun Qiao glanced at her and said with a smile, "I wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but you didn't want it."

"I have no desire for these things. I just want to be by your side for the rest of my life. Young lady, I won't hide it from you. I've seen so many couples following you, but how many are like you and the Marquis? In fact, the reason you and the Marquis get along so well is because you are calm and collected. You know what you want and what you don't want."

Xiaotao might have been stupid and naive before, but after being with Yunqiao for a long time, she has figured out some things.

"I can't compare to you. My mind is muddled. I'm afraid I'll get caught up in it and forget who I am. It's better for me to stay by your side like this. I may be stupid, but I can still take care of people."

"Yes, look at the care you've given Nian Nian. She loves you so much and keeps calling you Auntie Xiao Tao."

Yun Qiao looked at Xiao Tao with eyes full of doting and said.

Xiaotao was also happy.

I quickly entered the house and the private school teacher was already waiting there.

When Nian Nian was reading, Xiao Tao sat beside her, sewing in her hands, carefully making clothes or a small bag for Nian Nian.

Her hands are becoming more and more dexterous.

Xiaotao always tells Yunqiao that she wants to take good care of Nian Nian.

In fact, Yun Qiao knew Xiao Tao's thoughts. She felt that she did not take good care of the young lady back then. Now that she had the conditions, she must be thinking about taking good care of the young lady's daughter.

She is raising her mistress all over again.

Yunqiao is also very nice to Xiaotao.

She was given a small independent courtyard to live in, and a maid to take care of her daily life.

But Xiaotao said she was not used to it, so she just slept in the servant's room outside the lady's door.

She is always like this, doing her best for her master.

Yun Qiao sat for a while, and when she saw Nian Nian start writing after reading, she stood up and left.

She didn't know if the mahjong parlor was busy today, so she went to take a look.

I just want to see how Li Yuan feels.

By the way, she also resolved the relationship issues between her and Gu Heng.

When Yun Qiao arrived at the mahjong hall, it was already occupied.

When they saw Yun Qiao coming, many familiar people came, including the wife of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Li, the wife of Lieutenant General Wang, the daughter-in-law of Grand Tutor Sun, and so on.

"You guys have your own fun. I'm just here to take a look and will be leaving soon."

"When we have time later, let's sit down and play a game."

Several ladies responded with "yes, yes."

Li Yuan saw Yun Qiao coming and took her inside. "I was thinking you wouldn't come today. Fang Jia came just now, but I didn't see you. I was quite disappointed."

"Years ago, I helped her buy a yard and introduced her son to college. I guess she wanted to thank me, but it's not necessary. As long as she lives a good life, that's all that matters."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what she told me."

"You seem to be in a much better mood."

Yun Qiao looked at Li Yuan and said,

"Gu Heng came to me this morning, and I told him about it. Don't worry about one thing, he hasn't changed his mind about you. When you have time, go and check the identity of that woman. Gu Heng seems to feel guilty about her, so something must be going on.

You investigate thoroughly and find a way to handle it. If you do these things well, then you won't have to bother Gu Heng with anything, right..."
