"But this pig's skin is really thick. It's not as easy as sewing clothes." Ye Baien tried a few times and his hands got tired.
Looking at Xie Yunjiao's hands, it was clear that the skin had peeled from being pricked by the needles.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Baien said.
"It's not hard. I do it because I'm interested in it." Xie Yunjiao said.
Ye Baien nodded: "Although we didn't rescue the Queen Mother this time, it's also great that Gu Huai was able to see the Queen Mother and prove that she is still alive."
"Uncle Ye, I have something to tell you." Gu Huai suddenly said.
Ye Baien saw that Gu Huai looked solemn and seemed to have something important to say, so he asked Xie Yunjiao to make medicine for Gu Huai.
"No need, Yun Jiao can listen to me talk about this matter." Gu Huai said.
Gu Huai didn't let Xie Yunjiao leave, so Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to stay.
"Can you tell me now?" Ye Baien asked.
"Why didn't you tell me that my mother was still alive?" Gu Huai looked at Ye Baien without blinking.
As if she didn't want to miss any expression on his face.
Ye Baien seemed to have guessed that Gu Huai would ask this question. He said, "What if I tell you? What if I don't tell you? Since your mother has followed the emperor, she is no longer your mother."
"But I can see that she is unhappy." Gu Huai said through gritted teeth.
"You figured it out at a glance? You're really amazing." Ye Baien looked at Gu Huai unhappily, "Don't forget, you couldn't even save the Queen Mother, not to mention Concubine Gu Shu was surrounded by so many people, you couldn't save her even more."
Ye Baien paused and said, "You can only follow my plan now. As long as the plan succeeds, not to mention saving the Queen Mother, saving others will also be a piece of cake."
Gu Huai moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing.
"In half a month, when your injuries have healed a little, I will have Lian Yan send you to the military camp. Please be careful.
If there is nothing important, we should not meet recently." Ye Baien said.
"I understand." Gu Huai said.
Before Ye Baien left, he looked at Gu Huai deeply and said, "You don't hold a grudge against Uncle Ye, do you?"
"No, if it weren't for Uncle Ye, I wouldn't even know who I am." Gu Huai said.
"That's good. Take good care of your injuries."
After saying these words, Ye Baien left.
"My wife, I suddenly want to eat the osmanthus dumplings you made. Can you make them for me?" Gu Huai said suddenly.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned: "Don't you dislike sweets? Why do you suddenly want to eat them?"
Gu Huai raised the corner of his mouth as if he had thought of something.
Concubine Gu Shu gave him the same feeling as sweet osmanthus. It seemed inconspicuous but had a unique fragrance. It was not strong but fresh and elegant, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.
When I mentioned her, I suddenly remembered the scent of osmanthus.
"Daddy, what are you eating? I can smell it from far away."
Bean Man was still at the door, running on his short legs. It took a while before his round little head appeared.
"You kid, it's so late and you're still not asleep!" Gu Huai said lovingly.
"Brother Lian Jin has fallen asleep, but he is snoring and I can't sleep." Doudou said.
"I guess the kid is too tired. He has been staying here for the past few days and hasn't slept much." Xie Yunjiao said.
They all advised Lian Jin to go back to his room and sleep, but Lian Jin refused and there was nothing they could do.
The family lived in the same courtyard, with the east wing given to Doudou and Lianjin, and the west wing given to Wu Mingde.
The light was still on in Wu Mingde's room, so Xie Yunjiao asked Doudou to bring a bowl of osmanthus dumplings to Wu Mingde.
Doudou picked up two bowls of dumplings and ran away, saying that he would not come to disturb them again.
Xie Yunjiao couldn't help laughing as she watched Doudou running away: "He's really a smart kid."
After Lian Yiyi recovered, she disguised herself as a maid and followed Mrs. Lian on a carriage to the nunnery outside the city.
Soon after they went out, they saw a wedding procession walking towards them.
Listening to the festive music, Lian Yiyi couldn't help feeling sad.
If Qianlang had really come home after the New Year to get engaged to his parents as he had promised, perhaps she would be the one getting married today.
She lifted a corner of the curtain, wanting to see who was getting married today and whether she knew him.
When her gaze moved back and she saw Zhao Qian sitting on his horse, wearing a bright red wedding suit and looking very pleased with himself, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and the pain made her cry.
"Mom, he is getting married today!" Lian Yiyi covered her heart with her hands, almost unable to speak due to the pain.
"Why, do you want to stop them? Didn't you see that the groom was smiling so happily?"
Xie Yunjiao, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Lian Yiyi's excited expression and spoke slowly.
Mrs. Lian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became excited: "Xie, you are so cruel. You knew that today was his wedding day, but you let Yiyi leave home at this time.
Our Yiyi is already pitiful enough, and you still want to do this? Do you have to drive her to death to be happy?"
Xie Yunjiao glanced at Mrs. Lian and said, "Aunt Qiao, I'm doing this for Yiyi's own good. If she can't even handle this little bit of stimulation, she might as well just hit her head against something and die."
"Nonsense, tofu won't kill anyone!" said Mrs. Lian.
"That's right. Are you so miserable just watching a jerk who loves new things and gets married? Your tears are too cheap." Xie Yunjiao looked at Lian Yiyi and said, "My Lian Qi had a fight with that jerk because of you and was seriously injured.
Now my father has thrown me into the military camp, and I don’t even know whether I’m dead or alive!”
"What can I do? I hate him, but..." Lian Yiyi sobbed while wiping her tears, "But I still can't let him go."
She didn't expect Gu Huai to fight with Zhao Qian for her, but she was still very grateful to Gu Huai.
She wanted to say thank you to Gu Huai, but she didn't expect that Gu Huai had been sent to the military camp by his father before she was out of confinement.
"So what if you can't let go? You've already lost face once. Now get out of the car and chase him? Do you think he will pay attention to you?"
Lian Yiyi bit her lip. She knew it was useless.
"Just wait and see, he won't be able to get married." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.
Lian Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Yunjiao in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Shh, don't talk, wait and see the show."
At this moment, a woman with a big belly suddenly rushed to the front of the wedding procession. She cried out to Zhao Qian, "Sir, why did you marry someone else without telling me?
You clearly said that you only love me!"
Zhao Qian's pupils shrank, and he wished he could strangle He Cuihua to death for suddenly appearing!
