"Second Uncle and Aunt, please excuse this. This girl has been like this since this morning, letting the maids around her smell it, letting her parents smell it, and she's very happy," Cheng Rui said helplessly.
After saying that, he led the Gu family members into the house.
Lord Cheng was in his office and couldn't entertain Gu Shouxin, so Cheng Rui took on the role of entertaining the guest. After sitting for a short while, the two of them went out to the study together.
Previously, whenever Gu Shouxin sent Cai Xiaolian to Madam Cheng's place, he would go to the study to read.
After Cheng Rui and Gu Shouxin left, Madam Cheng asked Cheng Huaijin to take her two little sisters to play in the garden. She was going to discuss serious matters with Cai Xiaolian and her daughter.
Mrs. Cheng didn't need to use the shampoo herself to know its effectiveness; she could tell just by looking at her two children.
...
In Gyeongju Prefecture, a carriage is emerging from the city gate.
The carriage was driven by a servant boy and a maid, and inside sat a young couple who looked to be in their twenties.
"Guo Yang, I'm warning you again, stop talking badly about me to my parents! My father is in poor health, and my second brother, that scoundrel, has already worried him a lot. Do you want him to worry about you too?" The young woman was Gu Lin, the only daughter of Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. She had married into Qingzhou Prefecture, and her husband's family were rice merchants in Qingzhou Prefecture. Her husband, Guo Yang, was a scholar and was currently a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations at the county level).
Gu Lin is twenty-four years old this year. Guo Yang is two years older than Gu Lin. The two also have a six-year-old son, who did not come with them today.
"Linlin, how could I bother my father-in-law? Am I such an inconsiderate person?" Guo Yang was handsome and refined. Although he was already twenty-six years old, he looked like a young man who had just come of age. He had fair skin and very good features.
Uncle Gu wasn't joking when he said his brother-in-law was also very good-looking.
"Hmph! You always say the same thing. Let me tell you, what happened before was indeed your younger brother and sister's fault. As their elder sister-in-law, it's normal for me to discipline them! Don't go to my father and say I hit them! I didn't hit them, I disciplined them! Spare the rod and spoil the child, don't you understand?" Gu Lin clearly didn't believe her husband.
"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right." Guo Yang said obediently, but in his heart he was rehearsing what he should say when he met his father-in-law.
"Well, just remember that! And don't forget how my mother-in-law usually bullies me. I've put up with it all and been so filial to her. Not only that, I even help her discipline her disobedient children. Do you know how hard it is for me? You know my mother's temper. If she finds out that my mother-in-law is bullying her only daughter, see if she doesn't go to the capital to back me up?" Gu Lin threatened again.
Guo Yang was filled with bitterness!
He had to endure all the beatings and threats, even though his wife had begged and pleaded with him to come back!
I heard that my second brother's family is building a house. Should I take my father-in-law to my second brother's house later and talk to him quietly?
My mother-in-law dislikes me, my brother-in-law dislikes me, my second brother-in-law dislikes me, and even my brother-in-law looks down on me for complaining!
But I really feel wronged!
"Hey! Did you hear me?" Gu Lin nudged Guo Yang.
Guo Yang immediately flashed a big smile: "Mm."
"Are you secretly plotting how to tell my dad?" Gu Lin looked at him suspiciously, raising her eyebrows.
"No!" Guo Yang shook his head and said sincerely, "I will definitely keep my promise to my wife."
