Three days later.
Su Ying and Gu Sinian's new home was all set up perfectly. The two were having lunch in the living room when someone knocked on the door.
As soon as Gu Sinian opened the door, Gu Sishi, a familiar face, stood outside. "Why are you here?"
"Grandpa and Grandma asked me to call you home. There's an emergency. Come home immediately."
"good."
Gu Sishi was most afraid of her second brother. He would become extremely timid whenever he saw her, and as soon as the news reached him, he would immediately disappear.
Seeing the man return, she casually asked, "Who is it?"
"Si Shi".
Looking behind Gu Sinian, she saw no one and felt a little disappointed. It had been three days since they moved in, and not a single guest had come. She finally ran into one, but he left before she even saw him.
"Why don't we let her come in for a meal? To avoid suspicion, we've been cooking in the kitchen outside for the past three days, only coming into the space for extra meals. Si Shi can come in for a meal too."
Gu Sinian shrugged. Who knows? "I hadn't even finished asking my question when she rushed off. I have no idea what that little brat was thinking. She's acting all weird."
Su Ying didn't give him any face at all, and went straight for his heart, "What else could it be? It's because you look too scary. You always have a dark face. Who wouldn't avoid you?"
He's not taking the blame for this. Why is he all smiles when he's all smiles with his wife?
She stepped forward, grabbed Su Ying's hand, and said with a wronged expression, "How did I end up with a dark face? Don't spread rumors. I greet you with a smile every day. I'm afraid that if you see my expressionless face too often, our daughter will end up like me. I smile at you every day, how can that be considered a dark face?"
For the past ten days or so, he had been smiling like a big kid in front of her, afraid that he might end up with a face as expressionless as hers.
This man is really funny when he's being funny.
She cupped the man's face and rubbed it, saying, "Who told you these fallacies?"
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't you want another miniature version of me? Let me smile in front of you more often."
Su Ying couldn't help but have a bright idea in mind: "Although the quality of the parents' relationship does affect the baby in your belly, you don't have to force yourself to smile if you don't feel like it."
"I thought you had developed a laughing disorder lately. You laugh all the time, and sometimes when you force a laugh, it's quite scary."
Gu Sinian looked aggrieved. He had been deliberately smiling like a silly husky lately, but his wife was still not satisfied. Who knew the bitterness in his heart?
"Are you full?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then let's put the remaining dishes into the space to keep them fresh for dinner. We need to go home now. I heard there's something important at home, and Grandpa wants us to go home."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? You were just rambling on and on with me. You're really something."
Gu Sinian followed closely behind, saying, "No rush. Let's take it slow. It's not appropriate for you to walk so fast."
Su Ying's steps gradually became steady. She was pregnant and couldn't walk too fast, otherwise it would harm the fetus.
"It's all your fault for not telling me sooner. What if Grandpa needed to see us urgently?"
Gu Sinian knew his grandfather, that old fox, quite well. If something really serious had happened, he wouldn't have needed Si Shi to come and summon him; he would have rushed to the door immediately.
There's no way I could pretend to be so calm. Judging by the time, it's probably about time.
In most cases, the outcome should be clear in ten days or so. It must be good news that Grandpa asked him to come home.
It's time to untangle the mess that has been created by the Huo, Shen, and Gu families.
"An urgent matter may be urgent, but it might also be a good thing."
Su Ying frowned. Good things had been happening one after another in Willow Tree Village lately. What good things could Grandpa possibly have to do with his family when he came to visit them?
"Do you know something?"
Gu Sinian didn't mince words and went straight to the point, "It seems that my father-in-law's investigation has yielded some results. Perhaps some case has been sent to the Gu family, clearing their name."
Su Ying exclaimed in surprise, "So fast! Dad's efficiency is amazing!"
Gu Sinian smiled indulgently, "He was a war god of the older generation, a hero that we children of the compound imitated since childhood."
"He is always efficient and hates procrastination. He has a bit of a temper, but that doesn't stop us from continuing to imitate him."
I never expected her father to be so famous in Beijing. What kind of amazing family could raise such a remarkable person as her father?
"Judging from your tone, the Qin family seems to be much more powerful than the Gu family."
"Of course. The Gu family is large and prosperous, and each member is an outstanding individual with remarkable achievements. You'll understand once you meet them."
"Including my eldest uncle and three older brothers?"
"yes."
Su Ying was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected the Qin family to have such a high status in Beijing. That meant that when she returned to Beijing, no one would dare to bully her.
It turns out she had such great resources, which she wasted in her past life.
I feel so annoyed when I think about it now.
"The Qin family is really amazing. No wonder I'm so amazing too, it turns out I inherited it from my dad."
Gu Sinian pinched Su Ying's cheek and said with a doting expression, "Yes. Your amazing abilities are all inherited from your father-in-law."
The Gu family has been exonerated and should be returning to the capital to report for duty soon. His eldest sister is a married daughter, and the Bai family has been labeled as rightists, so it won't be so easy for them to return to the capital.
This is a troublesome matter.
We need to think carefully about how to make things easier for my eldest sister.
This storm won't pass so quickly; it will take some time to resolve.
Those people at the top are just bored out of their minds. Instead of wasting their time fighting each other, they should be thinking about how to improve the economy and how to make people's lives better, instead of...
He was just a minor regimental commander; he didn't have the ability to manage those matters.
Family-oriented.
As soon as Su Ying and Gu Sinian entered the cowshed, they heard joyful and excited sounds coming from the living room.
It seems Gu Sinian's guess was right. The Gu family has been exonerated, which means the new house she just moved into... is no longer hers.
She finally moved into her new house, a house built to her liking, but after only a few days, she has to go back to Beijing?
But wasn't this just a matter of time?
Gu Sinian wouldn't stay in Willow Village forever; in his previous life, he was a highly decorated military figure.
Willow Village couldn't keep her, and she had already married this man; wherever he went, she would have to follow.
Her relatives are all in Beijing, so returning to Beijing is a good thing.
The countdown to her new house is on. It hurts so much. Although the money is nothing to her, she has been looking forward to the house being completed for a long time, and now she has to leave after only a few days. Who would feel good about that?
That house was just built, what a pity.
Gu Sinian noticed that something was wrong with Su Ying and thought she was feeling unwell, so he asked anxiously.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Ying pounded her chest, "I feel uncomfortable."
"What's wrong?"
"We've only lived in the new house for three days. If we go back to Beijing, wouldn't all that work have been for nothing?"
"I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I have my own plans."
