Xie Zhaozhao's face turned bright red, both ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but punch him with her little fist: "Husband, you're so mean, you're teasing me!"
"This isn't a joke, it's the truth." Gu Shaoyu didn't let go of her hand, kissed it, and then pulled her down.
"How about it?"
"you....."
Get lost!
Gu Shaoyu smiled; this was the most vivid version of Xie Zhaozhao.
"You don't always have to think about others. Rules are rules, and you don't need to talk about them in front of me."
This man was serious one moment and teasing her the next. Xie Zhaozhao gently hugged his waist and said, "It's really time to get up."
Gu Shaoyu felt he should seize this opportunity to put out the fire, but then he thought there was plenty of time in the future.
The two got up, and Xie Zhaozhao specially changed into a high-necked gauze undergarment to cover up the traces of the night. The woman in the mirror had shed her youthful naiveté, and her eyes and brows exuded a captivating charm.
After getting ready, she went with Gu Shaoyu to serve tea to the old lady.
Gu Shaoyu was too ruthless yesterday; her legs were still trembling. She walked slowly, and Gu Shaoyu held her hand, applying slight pressure.
Once outside the courtyard, a kneeling mat had been laid out in the area where people would pay their respects in the main hall.
Gu Shaoyu released Xie Zhaozhao's hand, and the two kowtowed to the old lady and offered her tea.
The old lady gave her a red envelope, and Xie Zhaozhao thanked her for the gift. Just then, she heard the maid Ta Xue call out, "The young master and his wife have arrived."
Xie Xiangxiang immediately looked at Xie Zhaozhao.
Xie Zhaozhao smiled as she looked at the newlyweds.
Xie Xiangxiang immediately noticed the high-necked gauze dress under Xie Zhaozhao's luxurious wedding gown.
She immediately clenched her fists.
Xie Zhaozhao never consummated her marriage in her previous life, while Xie Xiangxiang was pregnant in her previous life.
Xie Xiangxiang understands, she understands everything!
Xie Zhaozhao is spoiled and pampered by Gu Shaoyu, and probably quite excessively so.
Shouldn't an old man like Gu Shaoyu be unable to perform?
Why not stay a celibate man after being a celibate man for so many years?
Xie Zhaozhao could tell at a glance that Xie Xiangxiang's wedding night was exactly the same as her previous life.
No, they're not the same.
In her past life, she was the only one who looked haggard on her wedding night, while Gu Chengyan slept soundly all night because he had moved her.
Right now, both Gu Chengyan and Xie Xiangxiang looked haggard, and there were even a few nail marks on Gu Chengyan's face.
It's estimated that Xie Xiangxiang and Gu Chengyan had a very big fight.
Gu Chengyan gently held Xie Xiangxiang's hand, as if it were a rare treasure.
Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but sneer. Gu Chengyan was truly loyal to Guan Yingying, unchanged in both lifetimes.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt." Gu Chengyan greeted Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao with gentle manners and respect.
Ta Xue gave them the tea she had prepared and asked Xie Xiangxiang to serve them tea.
Xie Xiangxiang offered tea to Gu Shaoyu, but could no longer offer that cup of tea to Xie Zhaozhao.
Xie Zhaozhao didn't care. If you offer tea, I'll give you a red envelope; if you don't, I won't give you any face.
Xie Xiangxiang had been holding back for a long time, but she absolutely refused.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu threw away the tea cup and water that he had originally taken!
Since he wouldn't serve tea to his wife, he threw the tea away.
The old lady said sternly, "Madam Xie, now that you've married into the Marquis's household, you should serve tea to your third aunt."
Xie Xiangxiang was unconvinced and said, "In my maternal family, she is the eldest sister, and there is no need to serve her tea among peers. In the Marquis's mansion, I am the wife of the heir, and my rank is higher than hers, so I am not obliged to serve her tea."
Upon hearing this, Lady Lu, the wife of Gu Zhongyu, the second son, laughed and said, "I see! Then I won't drink this cup of tea either. I am not worthy of a cup of tea from the Crown Prince's wife."
The old lady smiled faintly and said, "I didn't know the young master's wife was so arrogant. Here, apart from the marquis's wife and the marquis, no one is worthy of drinking a cup of your tea."
Gu Chengyan immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness on Xie Xiangxiang's behalf: "Grandmother, Second Aunt, Little Aunt, Xiangxiang is a new wife and doesn't know the proper etiquette. Please forgive her, elders."
He took all the blame upon himself, saying that he should have told Xie Xiangxiang, that he hadn't fulfilled his responsibility, and that it was his fault.
Gu Shaoyu was too lazy to watch their act and said to the old lady, "Mother, my wife and I have gone to the palace to express our gratitude."
He took Xie Zhaozhao's hand and walked away.
Nanxing and Moyan had already prepared the carriage. Gu Shaoyu helped Xie Zhaozhao into the carriage and rode alongside it on horseback.
Xie Xiangxiang looked at their clasped hands. Gu Shaoyu was tall and imposing, while her elder sister was dignified and gentle. They were such a perfect match, so loving.
Her eyes were burned. After leaving Fanghua Garden, her carefully constructed mental state collapsed like a river bursting its banks, releasing a torrent of acidic water.
Yesterday, she had prepared herself for a storm of emotions, but after the nuptial wine was drunk, Gu Chengyan kept rambling on and on, refusing to mention going to bed.
Even as she yawned incessantly and tears streamed down her face, Gu Chengyan continued to chat with her about random things.
Xie Xiangxiang could only say shyly, "Husband, shall we rest?"
Gu Chengyan seemed very nervous and shy, hesitating to speak, and said that he felt a little unwell and told her to go to sleep first.
Xie Zhaozhao would observe etiquette, but Xie Xiangxiang would not, and would directly ask him, "Does my husband not wish to be with me?"
Gu Chengyan's eyes reddened, and he knelt down to kiss her hand: "Madam, I was bitten by a wild dog when I participated in a spring hunt when I was young. I am impotent... If you regret it, you can divorce me."
"What?"
"I...I'm injured. I can't..."
"What do you mean you've injured your body?"
"A stray dog bit me, bit me..."
At this moment, Gu Chengyan wished he could slap himself a few times. Why did he have to call it a wild dog? Wouldn't it have been better to say it was a weapon injury?
Xie Xiangxiang was so shocked that her mind was buzzing. She was not an ignorant little girl. On the contrary, she had cursed everything when she fought with those concubines.
He blurted out, "Your...balls...got bitten by a dog?"
"..." Gu Chengyan was dumbfounded. How could someone ask such a question?
"Tell me, was it eaten whole by the dog, or only half of it? Or was it chewed up?"
If I bite it in half, it shouldn't affect XX, right?
Gu Chengyan's face turned a deep shade of liver color. He closed his eyes and said, "It wasn't eaten, it just went bad."
Oh my god, Xie Xiangxiang, are you a young lady? Are you a bride?
Xie Xiangxiang grabbed his clothes and said urgently, "Husband, are you joking?"
No, I'm not lying to you.
Xie Xiangxiang was furious. She wasn't an innocent young girl. She pushed Gu Chengyan down in a frenzy and frantically tried to tear at his pants.
Check! Is he really incapable or just faking it?
Gu Chengyan almost broke down. He didn't love Xie Xiangxiang and had promised Guan Yingying to remain chaste with her, but he was truly stunned when the woman examined him.
That's intense?
Wasn't it said that the legitimate daughter of the Xie family was extremely well-mannered and had excellent manners?
He gripped her hand tightly, begging her to save him some dignity.
Tears welled up in his eyes. He hugged her hand and kissed it, begging for forgiveness and saying sorry to her.
"I will find the imperial physician to treat you, my husband. I will go to find the imperial physician at dawn." Xie Xiangxiang cried all night.
To whom can I confide my loneliness?
Was Xie Zhaozhao like this in her previous life?
