Du Shuting really understood.
She was embroidering insoles for Fu Xiuqi when the needle suddenly pricked her finger.
"Miss! You are bleeding!" Qingci exclaimed.
"It's okay, let her show off. I think she won't be able to laugh anymore soon." Du Shuting put down the insole in her hand and walked to the window and closed it.
"Miss, I think my brother-in-law is very close to her." Qingci held Du Shuting's hand in her palm with heartache and wiped the blood off her.
"It's okay. Xiuqi and her were just acting. It's her who always wants to show off in front of me. She doesn't know her own weight. It's probably because she has no status in Xiuqi's heart that she does this on purpose." Du Shuting poured herself a glass of water. She said this, but inwardly she was very angry. How much she wanted to attend the palace banquet with Fu Xiuqi!
Gu Yufei watched the window slam shut, feeling even happier. Her goal had been achieved. Any movement from Du Shuting meant she was angry. She just wanted to piss her off.
Ever since the incident with Xia Yu, Gu Yufei rarely left Chunhua alone in the courtyard and took her with her wherever she went, but this palace banquet was no exception.
But Chunhua was very excited because it was her first time attending a palace banquet. Gu Yufei even had a custom dress made for her, making her stand out among the other maids.
"Miss, Chunhua is so happy today. If Xia Yu were here, it would be great if she could join you..." Chunhua suddenly thought of Xia Yu, her eyes red.
Speaking of Xia Yu, Gu Yufei also felt sad. She said in a low voice: "Chunhua, don't worry, I will definitely avenge Xia Yu. I brought you to the palace banquet today to let you see what's going on. Don't think too much about other things, just enjoy this evening."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Chunhua wiped away her tears.
Through Xia Yu's incident, Chunhua finally understood that her son-in-law didn't love her at all. Furthermore, she couldn't make her mother-in-law aware of the fact that she had lost her child. She must be very sad to have lost her child, and she only hoped that her son-in-law would treat her well.
"Gu Yufei, hurry up and get in the sedan. The time is almost up."
Fu Xiuqi's words interrupted Chunhua's thoughts.
Gu Yufei glanced at Chunhua, and after explaining to her the etiquette for entering the palace, she got into the sedan chair.
"Is this the second or third time we've ridden in the same sedan chair?"
"I don't remember." Gu Yufei showed no interest in Fu Xiuqi's conversation. "Only my son-in-law would remember such trivial matters."
Fu Xiuqi was speechless.
Why is this woman Gu Yufei becoming more and more difficult to deal with?
In the past, whenever he laid eyes on her, he'd be overwhelmed. Now that he'd initiated the conversation, why was she still so aggressive? And what did she say when he rescued her? She'd said she'd help him get military power, but was she going to go back on her word now?
But in the current situation, Gu Yufei clearly has the upper hand. Because the person has been rescued and married, the decision of whether Gu Yufei is willing to help him or not has returned to her hands.
After thinking about it, Fu Xiuqi felt that he had been tricked by Gu Yufei.
"I didn't handle the matter of your dowry maid well, but it has passed. We have to look forward, don't we?" Fu Xiuqi said in a gentle tone.
"Yes, it happened, but it's not over. You never respect anyone's ideas and are so self-centered. Not only towards me, but also towards Du Shuting. Do you think she's willing to be a caged bird?"
