Chapter 598 Madam Leaves
After putting on her clothes, Xu Wencheng carried her to the table. After washing and eating, he regained some strength and then helped her out the door.
Seeing their daughter-in-law looking so frail, Jiang and Xu Yongwang glared at Xu Wencheng.
Xu Wencheng was so embarrassed that he avoided their sight.
Song Yuntang sat next to Xu Qingye, looking at the scene in the room. She pinched the sleeve of the man next to her, leaned back slightly and used his shoulder to shield her body, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
Xu Qingye looked in her direction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
When Xu Wencheng glanced at his brother and sister-in-law who were smiling, he felt even more embarrassed.
Gu Xinjiu offered a cup of tea to Xu Yongwang, Jiang, Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang respectively, and the four of them also prepared gifts for her.
Correspondingly, Gu Xinjiu also prepared gifts for the two younger generations, Hao Ting and Yun Xiao.
Hao Ting took the gift and called her affectionately.
"Thank you, aunt."
After the tea, it was time for lunch and the family gathered together to have a meal.
However, since Gu Xinjiu had already eaten before coming to serve tea, she didn't eat much at noon.
When Jiang saw this, she hurriedly asked Xu Wencheng to take her back to the yard to rest.
…
The next day, Xu Yongwang and Jiang set out for Lushan Village early in the morning. Song Yuntang saw their reluctance to leave.
Soon it was the day for Gu Xinjiu to return home.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Gu and Lord Gu were waiting at home and ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.
Seeing the affectionate couple and Xu Wencheng's caring attitude towards his daughter, Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and looked a lot more relaxed.
On the way back, Gu Xinjiu would occasionally lift the curtain and look in the direction of the Gu Mansion, feeling vaguely worried in her heart.
Xu Wencheng looked at her in confusion.
"What are you looking at?"
"I don't know how my mother is doing in the Gu Mansion. Is my father still accommodating her like before? Is the concubine in the mansion making things difficult for her? Are my eldest brother and his wife on the same page with her?" She said, her eyes reddened. "She came back to the Gu Mansion for me and my eldest brother. I'm afraid she will be hurt again."
After hearing this, Xu Wencheng couldn't bear it and hugged her in his arms.
"After all, we are all in the capital. If you are worried, you can come and visit us often. If mother-in-law is unhappy in Gu's house, we can bring her to live in Xu's house."
Gu Xinjiu laughed at his words.
"Which family in Beijing is like this? If the son-in-law supports his mother-in-law, people will laugh at him if it gets out."
The man said in a steady voice, "She gave birth to you and raised you. As the younger generation, we should be filial to her. Why should we care about other people's opinions?"
Gu Xinjiu felt warm in her heart and hugged his waist tightly.
"My husband, you are such a nice person."
She didn't make the wrong choice.
At least for now, he is really a very good person.
I will take care of her, care about her, soothe her emotions and make her happy.
I thought there was no emotional foundation between the two of them, and he was a general, so he would have some official airs. But after getting married, I found out that he was an upright person, without any dark side, and was sunny and warm.
It was her blessing to marry him.
Caressing his petite wife in his arms, Xu Wencheng couldn't help but think, so this is what it feels like to be a husband and be depended on by someone.
…
On the second day after returning home, a letter was delivered from the Gu Mansion.
It was written by Mrs. Gu.
【Jiuer】
[When you see this letter, mother has already left the capital. 】
[When your grandfather was still alive, your mother always wanted to go with him to see the yellow sand and Gobi Desert in Mobei. That's where your grandfather died in battle. 】
[Now that you and elder brother have found your soulmates, mother can now go out and see how big the world is, how high the mountains are, and how long the rivers are. Don't be sad for me. You can travel freely around the world. I am free. 】
[I only wish my son a smooth future and eternal happiness and health.] 】
[Don’t worry, this is written by your mother Ge Erlan herself.] 】
Looking at the letter, Gu Xinjiu bit her lip, trying not to cry.
"mother!"
In the end, the tears fell on the paper.
I thought the worst outcome for my mother would be to return to the farm and live alone, but I didn't expect that she would just leave.
The world is so big, and I don’t know where my mother is going.
In the future, whenever she misses her mother, she will no longer be able to go and see her whenever she wants.
But as mother said, this is the life she has always wanted. At least she is free and no longer has to worry about her and her elder brother.
Xu Wencheng was beside her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He just patted her back gently to soothe her sad emotions.
"My husband, can I still see my mother?"
"Of course she can." Xu Wencheng comforted her, "Mother-in-law is still young, it's normal for her to want to go out and have a look. When she has seen enough and is older, she might come back."
"What if she is reluctant to return to Beijing because she is reluctant to return to Beijing?" Gu Xinjiu sobbed.
Xu Wencheng lowered his head and kissed his wife in his arms.
"Then I will take you to find her."
…
"drive!"
At this moment, a man and a horse left the city.
The woman looked to be only about thirty years old, and her dark purple outfit outlined her perfect figure. She had a pretty face and a heroic look, with an unprecedented carefree and unrestrained look on her face.
After leaving the city, drive north.
…
Gu Mansion.
Originally, these days, Mrs. Gu had been staying in her own yard and avoided going out, and also avoided being alone with Lord Gu.
Lord Gu originally thought that he and his wife had been separated for so many years, and now that she had come back for the sake of the children, as long as he treated her well, she would not leave again.
At breakfast today, the housekeeper of the mansion said that the lady had gone out early in the morning. He didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that she wanted to go out for a walk and might be back by lunch time.
He also instructed the housekeeper to go to the study and inform him once Mrs. Gu returned home.
But he waited in the study until noon, but did not hear any sign of Mrs. Gu returning.
"Someone come."
Someone outside the house responded, "What do you want, sir?"
"Go and see if the lady has come back?"
"Yes." The confidant returned, "Sir, the housekeeper said that the Madam has not returned yet, so I went to her courtyard, but she did not bring Madam Zhao with her when she went out."
Nanny Zhao is Madam Gu's confidante. She has hardly ever left her side over the years, even taking her with her when she goes to the farm.
Today, the Madam went out without bringing Nanny Zhao with her. Lord Gu was so shocked that he dropped the book in his hand to the ground.
After he reacted, he got up and left the study, heading towards the main courtyard where Madam Gu lived.
Nanny Zhao was originally feeling sad in the yard, but when she saw Lord Gu coming, she quickly wiped the tears from her face and stood up to bow.
"The master is here."
Seeing Madam Zhao's expression, Lord Gu frowned slightly.
"Where's the lady?"
Aunt Zhao lowered her brows.
"My lady has left."
Lord Gu's brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's the meaning?"
