The next day after the four of them finished playing mahjong, Xu Wen and Sheng Shu went to visit Sheng Hong early in the morning.
After all, she was married, and Sheng Hong couldn't go out as she pleased. She only went out a few times a year, only visiting the Sheng family during festivals. It wasn't that her parents-in-law objected, but the rules were like that, and she couldn't do as she pleased.
When Xu Wen saw Sheng Hong, she looked her up and down and said, "Yes, it seems your mother-in-law hasn't been harsh on you."
Sheng Hong turned around and smiled shyly, "Aunt, look, I've gained a lot of weight."
The two then talked about women's intimate words. After Sheng Shu met Sheng Hong, she went to the study with Yu Jiaxing.
After talking for a quarter of an hour, Lin Jiaoniang arrived. The three women put on a show, and the scene suddenly became even more lively.
On the eve of leaving Beijing, before dinner, Gu Yankai played with Ye Ge'er and Can Jie'er for a long time. After having dinner with Bai Shi, he wanted to follow Bai Shi back to the inner room.
Bai cast a clear and radiant gaze at Gu Yankai. Gu Yankai clenched his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll stay with you."
In her previous life, she conceived two children at once. Bai Shi Ben Dian Gu Yan Kai was a transparent existence. Hearing this, she chuckled and said, "My Lord, I gave birth to two children. I need to spend a full month of confinement before my body can recover."
After hearing this, Gu Yankai turned his head and said, "Then you should rest early."
Bai bowed slightly and returned to the inner room. Gu Yankai listened to the sound of the curtain being opened and closed before turning around. He watched the beaded curtain at the inner room door sway until it stopped moving, and then he took a step forward.
On the way back to the outer courtyard, Gu Yankai took out the purse Qin Fang had given him. He sniffed the faint fragrance of the purse, and the corners of his lips, which had been straightened by the rejection just now, slowly softened.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yankai felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. The waves of pain finally woke him up. Gu Yankai thought it was his wound that was flaring up, so he wiped the sweat from his face and went back to sleep.
Qin Fang also felt a slight pain in her chest in the middle of the night, though it was still fresh and not very noticeable. She dreamed of Gu Yankai riding a majestic horse to marry her. But before he even got into the bridal sedan, Qin Fang saw a sea of blood. Not the red of fabric, but actual blood.
The next morning, Bai was still asleep. Gu Yankai walked out of the mansion gate, looked back, sighed deeply, and rode away.
While Mrs. Bai didn't see Gu Yankai off, someone else actively ran to see him off. At the city gate, Qin Fang tilted her head slightly upwards, waiting for Gu Yankai. Seeing someone on horseback approaching from afar, she quickly ran forward a few steps and waved.
It is true that a day without seeing each other feels like three years. When Gu Yankai saw Qin Fang waving at him not far away, his heart skipped a beat and he made a move without thinking.
"Ah!" Gu Yan didn't stop his horse and rode straight towards Qin Fang. Qin Fang was about to be hit by the horse and screamed in surprise.
Then, an iron arm grabbed her waist, and she was quickly lifted into the air, being thrown onto the horse. This sudden movement made Qin Fang scream. It was not until she was held by the waist and sat in front of Gu Yankai that Qin Fang cried out in shock, "Brother Gu, what are you doing? Put me down!"
Gu Yan laughed heartily and said, "Aren't you waiting for me? Otherwise, come with me to guard the border today."
