Chapter 450 Identity shocked Mu Xuan!
On the way to the old lady's yard, the little girl was already in Gu Jinghuai's arms.
Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, but Mu Xuan was still inexplicably nervous.
I suddenly appeared, and my father disliked the other person's son so much that he even broke off relations with his daughter.
Over the years, my younger sister has no support from her family, nor has anyone from her family visited her. Will they blame their family for ignoring her?
Will she blame his family for not giving his younger sister a dowry? No one came to see her when she gave birth, and no one from his maternal family attended his grandson's wedding and birth.
The more he thought about Mu Xuan, the more anxious and self-blaming he became. Why didn't he come to the capital earlier? That way, he could have found his younger sister earlier and made it up to her earlier.
My younger sister's family is very nice, but she still has her elder sister-in-law and mother-in-law. If they make things difficult for her, she will never talk back.
As long as his sister is happy, he is happy. He has heard that aristocratic families have strict rules and that it must be very hard for his sister to marry into an aristocratic family without the support of her natal family over the years.
Along the way, Mu Xuan kept imagining the scenes of the evil mother-in-law and the domineering sister-in-law. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his younger sister.
Qin Zhizhi felt amused as she watched Mu Xuan's expression change again and again, until he finally accepted his fate.
What on earth is going on in his mind? Why is his mental activity so rich?
Qin Zhizhi gave Gu Jinghuai a look, and Gu Jinghuai smiled and nodded. He also saw his second uncle's expression.
Qin Zhizhi smiled even more happily when she saw that her husband was the same as her. She was now looking forward to her second uncle meeting her grandmother later.
When they arrived at the old lady's yard, everyone was there except the eldest princess.
Mu brought her second brother to meet her mother-in-law. The old lady knew almost the whole story and was very enthusiastic towards Mu Xuan.
Gu Ting naturally stood on his mother's side, staying with her and entertaining Mu Xuan together.
At this moment, Mu Xuan felt relieved. The Gu family was really as good as his sister said.
The old lady welcomed Mu Xuan's arrival, patiently asked about the family situation, and scolded her second son.
I deeply apologize to my second son for not accompanying his wife home for so many years.
Madam Mu promised that as long as Mu Xuan was willing, her son and daughter-in-law could go back to the Mu family to visit relatives with him at any time.
Mu Xuan was very happy to hear this. He didn't expect that the old lady of the Gu family was so open-minded and generous.
"Thank you, Madam, but my brother-in-law still needs to be on duty, so we'll discuss this further."
Mu Xuan felt that it would take a long time to go back to visit his relatives. His brother-in-law, eldest nephew, and second nephew still had to go to school, so it was not convenient for them to go to Jiangnan.
"Don't worry about him. He can take a leave. It's just that Jing Huai and Jing Shu are in trouble."
The old lady didn't take Gu Shi into consideration at all. She had to go to her in-laws' house.
"Mom, don't worry. My second brother and I have already written a letter home. We'll discuss it after they reply."
"Okay, Mom will listen to you." The old lady respected all the decisions made by her second daughter-in-law.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
The eldest princess was delayed for a while today due to something and came in a hurry. She just learned that her second brother's wife's second brother had come to the house.
"It's not too late at all, sister-in-law, you've come just in time!" Mu came forward with a smile, holding the eldest princess' arm.
"This must be my second brother's wife's second brother, welcome to the mansion!"
"Second brother, this is the eldest princess and also the eldest sister-in-law!" Mu's tone was calm, but the words she said surprised Mu Xuan.
He couldn't believe that the person standing before him was the eldest princess, the current emperor's sister.
Mu Xuan was about to kneel down to pay his respects, but was stopped by Gu Ting who was standing beside him. He smiled and said, "Today is a family dinner. No need to be polite. Just relax."
"My husband is right. We are all family. No need to be polite!"
The eldest princess smiled and waved her hand, and the younger sister also smiled and nodded at him. Mu Xuan was a little dazed.
My younger sister’s eldest sister-in-law is the eldest princess, and my brother-in-law’s eldest brother is the prince consort, who currently serves as the Minister of Revenue.
Mu Xuan pinched himself quietly. It hurt so much, which meant it was real.
His younger sister really married into a wealthy family, and an extremely wealthy one, with both power and wealth.
"Second brother, please take a seat first!"
Seeing that his second brother was still in a daze, Gu Shi reminded him that it was time to take his seat.
"Yes, Brother Mu, please take your seat!"
Gu Ting and Gu Jinghuai also reminded him to take his seat. Gu Jinghuai could understand his uncle's mood at the moment, he was too shocked.
"Second brother, today is a bit sudden. Jingshu and Yunlang are still in the academy. They will be back tomorrow. You will be able to see them then."
Gu Shi thought that his second son and nephew were still in the academy. The academy would be on holiday tomorrow, and his second son would be able to see his second uncle.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting Jingshu too!"
Mu Xuan didn't expect to be so lucky to see his second nephew so soon.
Several people sat down at the table. Since it was a family dinner today, they did not sit separately but had dinner together.
Mu Xuan was a little nervous at first, but gradually he completely relaxed in the evening atmosphere of the Gu family.
"Uncle, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some Jiangnan dishes. Please try them!"
"Hey, Zhizhi is so thoughtful!"
Mu Xuan was quite touched. He didn't expect his nephew's wife to be so thoughtful and even specially cooked dishes from his hometown.
Mu Xuan tasted it and said in surprise, "It's so authentic. I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic Jiangnan cuisine in Beijing."
"The chefs in the mansion are all imperial chefs and can cook a variety of dishes. If you like them, we can make them tomorrow." Qin Zhizhi said with a smile.
"Seeing that my second brother's wife likes to eat these, I asked my royal brother for a cook."
What the princess said was true. When Mu first came to the capital, she saw these dishes and went to the palace to ask for a cook. She never expected that her second brother's wife was from Jiangnan.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Mu Xuan was grateful for the eldest princess's preference for her younger sister. She was a princess with real power and was deeply favored by the emperor. She was able to treat her sister-in-law like this. She was really a good sister-in-law.
My younger sister has lived a really good life these years.
Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner.
Mu introduced her family to her family, and everyone got along very happily.
Thinking of Gu Jingshu and Gu Yunlang returning home tomorrow, the old lady instructed Mrs. Mu to invite Qin Qingyuan, Gu Yunfei, and Qin Yu to have a meal together with the whole family tomorrow.
Mrs. Mu readily agreed. Whether they were nieces and nephews or her own three children, they were all the same in her heart.
After returning home from dinner, Mu explained in detail to her second brother the situation of no one being at home.
Mu Xuan was completely confused. There was no simple person in this family.
The eldest princess, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the princess, the third place in the imperial examination, the young prince, the number one scholar, the princess of the county...
Even my brother-in-law was a top scholar before he lost his memory, and now he holds an official position. Old Madam Gu and my younger sister also have imperial decrees.
Mu Xuan felt that this was something that others would not even dare to dream of, but it was right next to him, so he simply couldn't bear to think about it.
