Chapter 165: Girl's Love (Update 3 and 4)

(3)

Therefore, Shang Ji didn't say much, just nodded and clasped his fists.

"Listen to Nanny Qin. Grandma, go to bed early. I will welcome you tonight."

"Okay, go ahead."

"yes."

Everyone present went out, isolating the warmth in the room.

The wind and snow suddenly arose, and the cold swept over us again.

Shang Ji said goodbye to Du Jingyi and his aunts and returned to Xitang Courtyard.

However, Mrs. Xing hadn't spoken to her two cousins ​​for some time, so she asked Xue Niang to accompany them.

As for the eldest sister-in-law Liu, she would naturally take her son Shang Zhiping back to have a good look.

In the greenhouse of Xu Laiyuan.

At the moment, only Madam Gu, Nanny Qin and Gu Xiaolang were there. They had all seen many ups and downs, so how could they not see through this little love story.

"Did you see that? Have you given up? Is your cousin interested in you?"

The first thing Madam Gu asked was a question that made Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.

"grandmother……"

She is young and the only daughter in the family.

So I was brought up in pampered condition and could get whatever I wanted.

Although he is not the kind of person who will not give in even if he is right, he is very straightforward and stubborn.

When she was born, Shang Ji was already a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, so the whole family never paid attention to it.

Just treat it as cousins ​​getting along with each other.

But after something happened to the Gu family, Shang Ji grew up overnight.

From that young man full of vigor and vitality, he became more and more taciturn, as if a heavy burden was weighing on him, and he no longer had the youthful vigor and vitality.

Gu Men died in the battle and Shang Ji was also injured.

But after recovering in Jinling City, he hurried all the way to Cezhou.

From then on, we could only see each other once every three or two years.

Old Madam Gu felt sorry for her granddaughter who had to shoulder so many responsibilities at such a young age, and was also worried that she would have no brothers or sisters to rely on from then on.

So I always hope that they can be good siblings and rely on each other for their whole lives.

To be honest, Old Madam Gu didn't know when her granddaughter's feelings for Shao Yu changed from brotherly love to romantic love.

At that time, she was busy being sad, busy with pain, and busy supporting the family.

By the time she found out, her granddaughter had already fallen deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself.

What could she do? "Grandma, if it was me who married Shao Yu's cousin three years ago, would everything be different..."

She cried sadly, and what she said was innocent.

Old Madam Gu was furious and said something quickly.

"Even if you want to get married, have you ever thought about whether your cousin Shao Yu is willing to marry you?"

She has raised her grandson for so many years, so it is easy for her to guess what kind of person he is and what he is thinking.

With just one sentence, the beautiful dream in Gu Xiaolang's heart was shattered.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Mrs. Gu felt very sad as well.

But no matter how sad she was, what could she do? She could neither let her grandson divorce his wife and remarry, nor could she let the only daughter of the Gu family become a concubine.

So, this was a dead end from the beginning.

At first, she still had a glimmer of hope to fulfill her granddaughter's wish.

After all, this marriage was arranged by Mrs. Wei for her grandson, so he might not be a good person.

She also thought that if the bride was not good enough, she would have to make some trouble.

But after learning that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Madam Gu realized that this was impossible.

Otherwise, according to his grandson's mind, if he had no interest in this person, he wouldn't even touch her body, so how could there be any pregnancy? As expected, since meeting Shang Ji today, his words and deeds have been very considerate to his wife. If it weren't for the presence of the elders, I'm afraid they would be even more intimate and loving.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu's mind was as clear as a mirror.

The couple is very affectionate, but her granddaughter is destined to be very sad.

So he waved at her, motioning her to come over.

Gu Xiaolang cried until her eyes turned red. She knelt down and threw herself into Old Madam Gu's arms, crying even louder and louder.

Nanny Qin sighed and whispered comfortingly.

"Don't be sad, Miss Nine. There are many good men in this world."

"But I just... I just want to marry my cousin Shao Yu, Grandmother..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's face turned serious and she said.

"But you've also seen how your cousin and his wife are doing. Do you really want to be the one who interferes? Don't you care about your own reputation, your parents' reputation, and the Gu family's reputation?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang had no way to refute.

If she were just the daughter of an ordinary family, she might have done something extraordinary.

But when the words "Gu family" were put on her, she would never let it bring shame to her.

If she destroyed the glory that her grandfather, uncles, father and brothers had built with their flesh, blood and heroic spirits, she would not be able to face anyone even after her death.

Thinking of this, the pain in my heart became more unbearable.

Madam Gu personally raised her granddaughter, so she knew her temperament.

Therefore, she didn't think that Gu Xiaolang would really destroy the Gu family because of his romantic relationship, so she just patted her on the back and said.

"Cry your heart out, it's time to wake up. You and Shao Yu can't be husband and wife, but you can still be siblings. With him protecting you, you will have support no matter which family you marry into in the future."

Old Madam Gu tried to persuade her earnestly, but Gu Xiaolang still cried sadly.

She wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Nanny Qin beside her.

The girl's feelings for him may not necessarily be exclusive, but because her ignorance at a young age was shattered in an instant, she is somewhat reluctant to let him go.

Thinking of this, Madam Gu no longer mentioned it.

I just comforted her from time to time, just like in the past years.

As a family woman, they have shed too many tears, so she doesn't want her granddaughter to follow the same path in the future.

If possible, I would like to find an ordinary family and live a peaceful life.

The incident at Xu Laiyuan did not spread out.

Therefore, in the greenhouse of Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji was calmly serving dishes to Du Jingyi as if nothing had happened.

He kept muttering to himself.

"Let Danruo show off his cooking skills today, and let grandma and the others taste the delicious food gathered from all over the place."

Du Jingyi was in low spirits, with something stuck in his chest, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

These were just her guesses and had not been truly confirmed.

If I tell my husband now, wouldn't that be like telling a lie?

She didn't want to be a jealous woman who lost her original intention because of jealousy about the women in the rear house.

But after spending these days with Shang Ji, she also sincerely agreed that they should go on walking hand in hand together in the future.

Therefore, hiding her emotions and getting upset is not her style.

So, he put down his chopsticks and said with a serious face.

"General, I have something to say."

(4)

Shang Ji was a little confused as to why she suddenly became so serious. He thought that something was wrong with her body, so he spoke quickly.

"What's wrong?"

Du Jingyi took a deep breath and spoke frankly.

"I have never met cousin Lang before, so I don't know much about her, but after today, I feel that she seems to have some other feelings for the general."

"You mean anything else? What else could we be other than brother and sister?"

As soon as the words came out, Shang Ji understood.

At first, she was a little wary of a "Wei Jialian" who was only known by her name. Now that she said so, it seemed that she had noticed something.

So, he looked at Du Jingyi in silence and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Seeing this, Cherry left the greenhouse and went to the side room to rest.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There are some things that a maid like her cannot interfere in. Since her young mistress dares to bring it up, she will handle the matter herself.

After a while, Shang Ji finally spoke, with some helplessness in his tone.

"You should know that I treat her exactly like a younger sister."

When Du Jingyi heard this, he did not refute, but looked at him firmly, and then spoke.

"The general once told me that being a husband and wife is not about the day or two, but about the long-term dull and trivial life. I remembered this. The general also said that you are not interested in concubines and illegitimate children. If I am willing, we can just have a few more children to make life more lively. I also remembered this."

"I am not an intolerant person, but if someone insists on it, then I will not care anymore. The Gu family has done a favor to the general, and there are some things that I cannot casually comment on. If they really have that intention, then I am willing to leave the mansion and divorce peacefully."

As for the children, it's just fine.

She took it back to the Du family, and no one could say no! Shang Ji's anger immediately rose when he heard Du Jingyi say this.

It's clearly a fabricated matter, so why is it related to the divorce?

Could it be that she has always had this idea in her mind?

Only then will you always leave a way out for yourself and be ready to withdraw at any time.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become fierce, and for the first time, there was some coldness in his eyes when he stared at Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi was not afraid and looked over.

Perhaps it was because her attitude was particularly firm that Shang Ji was the one who was defeated in the end.

He said it angrily but helplessly.

"Cousin Lang will only be my cousin for the rest of her life, and you and this boy, don't even think about escaping from me!"

There was absolute arrogance and disapproval in the tone, and the meaning was very clear.

He had never been interested in Gu Xiaolang, so how could he have a quarrel with Du Jingyi over this? Thinking back to her eagerness to stay in Xu Laiyuan just now, perhaps from that moment on, his wife had already understood everything.

Then, he sighed and hugged Du Jingyi in his arms.

Although she was somewhat reluctant, she had to admit that Shang Ji's statement just now made her feel much more at ease.

My sister is absolutely right about being worried during pregnancy.

The more she thought about it, the more her nose felt sore.

In the end, I don't know why she was crying, but her tears dripped onto the back of Shang Ji's hand.

He was so frightened that he immediately turned his head to look, and sure enough, his wife's cheeks were as red as a tabby cat's.

"Oh, I don't know what to say. If I really wanted to do that, I would have proposed to my grandmother long ago after my cousin Lang finished mourning. Why did I have to wait until now?"

After hearing this, Du Jingyi believed what he said, and for a moment he felt that what he had just done seemed a bit ridiculous.

But if you put it bluntly, this couple can be together for a long time.

Otherwise, her love would be wasted in misunderstandings day after day, and she doesn't want to live like this.

So he grabbed Shang Ji's sleeve and said.

"The general said it himself. If you dare to break your promise..."

"If I dare to break my promise, I will tear my head off and let you kick it like a football!"

Du Jingyi was frightened by his oath and quickly covered his mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about."

Seeing that she was no longer sad, Shang Ji pulled her hand and rubbed it against his cheek.

The look in his eyes also returned to what it was before, full of doting.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi calmed down and spoke.

"The cooked prawns in front of you, General, are good. I want to eat them."

When Shang Ji heard this, the corners of his mouth secretly raised. After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he began to peel it for her.

Work hard and never complain, never say a word.

Cherry heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the young lady's laughter coming from next door.

She hoped that the young lady could live such a good life for the rest of her life.

After eating and drinking, Du Jingyi went to take a nap.

Looking at her steady breathing and rosy face, Shang Ji couldn't help but kiss her forehead. Then he got up and left, heading straight for the west wing.

The purpose of his trip was not to visit Xu Laiyuan, but to go to Huanyunyuan to find his aunt, Madam Xing.

But the excuse he gave to the outside world was naturally that he had something to do with Xing Zhao.

It's a pity that I failed.

After asking a maid, I found out that my aunt was still talking in Mengyu Courtyard where my third and fourth aunts lived.

So he could only wait.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xing came back after a short while.

As soon as he saw Shang Ji, he asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"You are not staying with your wife at Xitang Courtyard. Why are you looking for me?"

Shang Ji nodded and glanced inadvertently in the direction of Xu Laiyuan.

Smart people don't say stupid things to each other. Mrs. Xing understood it at just one glance.

"Let's talk in your study. It's too close here."

"Okay, please, auntie!"

Shang Ji's study is naturally in Xitang Courtyard, but Xitang Courtyard is very large, and his study is a confidential place, so it is strictly guarded from top to bottom. It is impossible for outsiders to get any information.

Charcoal fire cannot be used in the study, so a floor dragon was burned.

However, this floor heating was still inferior to a greenhouse, so Mrs. Xing did not take off her cloak.

He asked Shang Ji directly.

"Does your wife know?"

Shang Ji raised his eyebrows. He hadn't said anything yet, but his aunt knew everything.

So he nodded and said with a slightly annoyed look on his face.

"She mentioned this to me during lunch. Does Cousin Lang really mean this? Does my grandmother and aunt also know about it?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"Your wife is so sharp-eyed. If I hadn't known in advance, I really wouldn't have seen it. How long has she been seeing them, and she has guessed everyone's thoughts!"

For a moment, Shang Ji really didn't know whether to feel proud or helpless.

His wife is too smart, there is nothing he can do about it.
