Mother Chang shook her head and said, "This is not the first wave of people. Madam, please think about it carefully."
The old woman wanted to speak, but was glared at by the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang and shrank back.
After a moment, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang said, "Then we'll add a teahouse and a two-hundred-acre farm in the suburbs." After a pause, she said, "From now on, the Marquis of Dongchang will no longer send anyone into the mansion."
Pretending to be embarrassed, Madam Chang said, "Then I'll ask my wife to go to the young master's yard. It's been quite some time since she last visited him."
Since Mother Chang had said this, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang could only nod in agreement.
The two groups left in different directions, one to the south and one to the north. As they walked along, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang said to the maid who was supporting her, "Tell me, how dare this Bai family, who is of low birth, be so presumptuous!? And the maid who manages the house, too, dares to speak to me like that."
The old woman had already had her complaints, and now she immediately responded, "How can we expect them to be well-educated if they are born into such a lowly family? Birthplace is so important. I have never seen such a person in a family as rich as ours. I want to tear her mouth apart."
The two of them badmouthed Chang Mama and Bai Shi all the way, but when they arrived at Gu Tingyu's courtyard, they realized it was different from before. Four guards stood guard outside the courtyard gate, and only after seeing the token from the Dongchang Marquis' Mansion did they let the two of them in.
Seeing the guard was tall and strong, the old woman didn't dare to say a word, like a quail. After the two entered the room, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. Looking closely, they saw Yu Ge'er lying on the bed alone. He was so thin that if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell there was a person lying on the bed.
After all, this was her own daughter's child. The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang suddenly had tears in her eyes. She pulled the thin wrist and said, "Brother Yu, your grandmother is here to see you."
Gu Tingyu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up like this. When he opened his eyes and saw the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang, tears began to flow. He said softly, "Grandma, Yu'er misses you."
As soon as this whisper came out, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang also shed tears. She hugged Gu Tingyu and cried for a while, saying, "My son, my Yu'er."
It wasn't until Gu Tingyu started coughing that the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang let him go, helped him up, and rubbed his back to relieve his cough. After coughing for a while, Gu Tingyu finally stopped.
After Gu Tingyu moistened his throat with honey water, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang asked, "Brother Yu, what happened?"
Gu Tingyu didn't say anything for a long time. When the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang was about to ask again, Gu Tingyu spoke up: "Grandma, I don't want Mother to have another child. My health is not good. If Mother has another child, this Marquis Mansion will no longer be my home."
After hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang was about to comfort Gu Tingyu when she suddenly thought of the guard at the door. She grabbed Gu Tingyu's shoulder and asked, "You, you did it?"
Seeing Gu Tingyu nod, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang gasped and dropped her hand that was holding his shoulder. She stepped back and said, "You, you are still young. You should not do such things again."
Gu Tingyu nodded again and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I have already apologized to mother. Mother didn't blame me, she just told me to correct my mistakes."
The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang felt that the matter was not that simple, but she did not want to ask for the details. If she knew everything, Bai Shi would think that Yu Ge'er did what she instructed, and who knew what Bai Shi would do.
