Time flies, spring goes and winter comes, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The capital is still prosperous.
Three years later, Sheng Shu, the eldest son of the second branch of the Sheng family in the capital, had married. Now, Sheng Shu's first child was already in Hai's belly, and the doctor who examined Hai's pulse said that this baby was likely to be a girl.
It is said that flowers bloom before fruits bear fruit. Neither Xu Wen nor Sheng Huairen of the Sheng family cares whether it is a boy or a girl. A daughter would be great too, and they are looking forward to this child from Hai.
There is also Princess Jinyi's daughter, Princess Yunran. Recently, she has been coming to the Sheng family every few days, looking forward to the birth of her little cousin.
The baby in Hai's belly has not been born yet, but it is destined to receive endless love from all sides after it is born.
After Hai married into the Sheng family, Xu Wen handed over the management of the household. Aside from the necessary rules, such as paying her respects every three to five days, Xu Wen didn't impose any other rules on Hai. Having never suffered under a mother-in-law, Xu Wen naturally didn't bully her daughter-in-law. Occasionally, she would even play mahjong with Hai, and the two of them got along very well.
Xu Wen didn't bother with the Hai family, so Sheng Huairen certainly wouldn't bother with his daughter-in-law. Besides, the Hai family had people everywhere in the court, so Sheng Huairen didn't dare treat the Hai family wrongly.
Sheng Shu had been successfully appointed to the Imperial Academy this year, a truly joyous occasion for the Sheng family. The three-year period of national mourning had already passed, and the Sheng family had already sent out invitations three days prior and prepared a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.
Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion also received the invitation, and Sister Can ran into the house with the invitation in hand. Bai was putting on her makeup and was almost bumped into by Sister Can, causing her eyebrows to be drawn on her face.
After putting Luo Dai down, Bai hugged Can Jie'er in her arms, patted her on the back twice, and scolded her softly, "Nannan, you almost bumped into me. This is inappropriate. Don't do it next time, understand?"
Canjieer hugged Bai's neck, pouted her lips and pressed them against Bai's face. After a few kisses, Bai's heart softened. She had no choice but to hug Canjieer and coax her, saying, "Nannan, this will hurt you, do you know?"
After a few years of recuperation, Can Jie'er is now as cute as an ordinary little girl. Although she doesn't have a chubby body, she is soft and cuddly. Gu Yankai can't bear to go a day without seeing Can Jie'er. As long as he is around, Can Jie will definitely sit next to him.
At this moment, Gu Yankai was leading Ye Ge'er in horse stance in the outer courtyard. A month ago, Gu Yankai started to lead Ye Ge'er in warming up, running and doing exercises in the mansion.
Ye Ge'er never complained about being tired or suffering, he would do whatever Gu Yankai asked him to do. Often, Gu Yankai felt very proud when he saw Ye Ge'er's persistence at such a young age.
Of course, Gu Yankai did not lose his concern for Gu Tingyu, but he no longer stayed by Gu Tingyu's side every day like before.
Occasionally, Gu Tingyu would say something, but Gu Yankai would not take it to heart. If it were in his previous life, Gu Yankai would have only harshly criticized Gu Tingye after hearing those words.
Times change, and often a small change in one thing may change a person.
Over the past few years, Gu Yankai often went to Jiaxitang under the guise of his child, but Bai never let him stay overnight, and Gu Yankai did not dare to force him.
After his last serious illness, Gu Yankai, who had experienced life and death, had come to understand his own heart. Even though Bai had repeatedly refused, he had never thought of marrying another woman.
