All the way to Yunjin Courtyard, they met several groups of maids and old women. When they saw Gu Shaoyu and others, they were also very surprised.
But now Madam Wei was very strict in running the household, and they dared not act rashly, otherwise they would be in trouble. They could only bow their heads, salute, and leave in a hurry.
Seeing this, sister-in-law Liu laughed sarcastically and said.
"It seems that these people don't know the rules, but they just don't bother to follow the rules when we are here!"
She had been in the Duke's Mansion for more than ten years, and had never enjoyed such treatment before. Although the maids and servants were not arrogant, they were still accustomed to being indifferent! Now everyone has learned to behave themselves, and she was very happy to see that.
Several people walked to the gate of Yunjin Courtyard and thought of many memories.
Most of those memories were bad, but occasionally there was a little sweetness. Compared with Gu Shaoyu's coldness and sister-in-law Liu's seriousness, Xue Niang was more melancholy. She leaned lightly on her husband's side, and then after adjusting her breathing, the four of them entered the courtyard together.
Not long after entering the yard, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Gu Shaoyu frowned slightly. It wasn't that he felt there was anything wrong with the medicine, but he just smelled a faint smell of blood in it.
He was curious. Besides his father who was already ill in bed, was there anyone else who was feeling unwell in the yard? But before he could even think of it, he saw Aunt Jiao coming out. She didn't look surprised when she saw them. It was obvious that someone had already reported it to them.
"I pay my respects to the general, the eldest young master's wife, and the fourth young master's wife, Guo."
"Well, let's go see dad."
The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, opened her mouth to speak. According to seniority, she was the oldest among the four, so it was normal for her to speak.
But after hearing this, Aunt Jiao spoke slowly.
"The Duke appreciates your kindness. He has just fallen asleep and the imperial physician has instructed not to disturb him, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get up to see you. How about coming back another day?"
Ma Jiao also knew that the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion had been at odds with each other for a long time, so she was not afraid that her words just now would offend anyone, and she spoke so calmly.
But when Gu Shaoyu heard it, it was not what he heard.
After taking a look at Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan didn't say much and stepped forward to kick Aunt Jiao, making her scream like a ghost and howl as if her leg was broken.
Soon there was a noise from inside, and Gu Shaoyu said with disdain.
"The people around Madam Wei really don't know how to serve. They knew that my father was resting but still made such a loud noise and woke him up. It's really rude!"
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went in, not caring about other people's expressions at all.
Those who served Madam Wei saw that the most powerful Madam Jiao had her leg broken by a kick, so they dared not say a word. Therefore, everyone retreated wherever Gu Shaoyu went.
The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang followed in, and Guo Silang kept nodding when he saw this scene. It turned out that this was how "blaming others for something else" was used! This trip was really a great experience for him, so he quickly followed in, wanting to continue to see how his brother-in-law visited the patient.
Entering the inner room, the smell of medicine became stronger, but the smell of blood in Gu Shaoyu's nose became stronger. When he walked to his father lying on the bed, the smell became much more obvious.
Then, he glanced at Mrs. Wei next to him with a sharp look, which made Mrs. Wei a little scared, but she quickly calmed herself down and started to question.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to see the joke on our Duke's Mansion?"
"Your Duke's Mansion, when did the Duke's Mansion become named Wei instead of Shang? What's wrong with me coming back to visit my father three days ago?"
Shang Xueniang was the first one to stand up and scold Madam Wei. The three of them hated her to the core.
After hearing her answer, Mrs. Wei laughed and then said in a sarcastic tone.
"Returning home after three days? To see father? Oh, the eighth daughter of the Shang family finally remembered her last name. I thought you also changed your last name to Gu, and were going to marry out of Jinling City."
"you!"
Xueniang was well protected by her sister-in-law in the back house, so even if she hated Madam Wei very much in her heart, how could she win the argument against her sister-in-law who had been fighting with her for decades? So she was defeated with just one sentence.
On the contrary, Guo Silang couldn't stand his stepmother's attitude towards his wife, so he said with a cold face.
"Mrs. Wei, please respect yourself. The person you are mocking all the time is my daughter-in-law from the Guo family. Is it possible that the Taiwei Mansion wants to compete with our Prime Minister's Mansion? That's why you speak so harshly? How about I go back and report to my grandfather, so that he can also see what the seventh son of your mansion is capable of?"
Guo Silang had never been a person who liked to use his family connections in the past, and he always thought that it was better to rely on his own abilities. But now he was facing Madam Wei, so he was happy to take advantage of his power to bully others.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Upon hearing that her son's future was in jeopardy, Mrs. Wei had to suppress her anger. After all, she had been humble and done a lot of small things over the years, so she didn't feel too aggrieved.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Xuenniang looked at her husband beside her with gratitude. Seeing that he was protecting Xuenniang like this, Gu Shaoyu and his elder sister-in-law Liu felt relieved and turned their attention to their father Shang Yukuan, who was breathing out more than breathing in on the bed.
He was not old, not even sixty, and he took good care of himself, so he looked like a man in his early forties. But now he looked even weaker and older than the third old master.
If the two of them were put together, I'm afraid others would not be able to tell who is the older and who is the younger!
"Father, we are here to see you."
Gu Shaoyu half squatted down, and while talking to his father closely, he sniffed carefully. The bloody smell came from him, so with a complicated look in his eyes, he lifted the quilt while Mrs. Wei was not paying attention.
The scene before them really surprised several people. They saw that the Duke was wearing a thin inner garment, and blood was seeping from the inner garment.
Some places had just turned red, while some places had already turned dark red and scabbed, making it clear at a glance that the clothes had not been changed.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu turned around and asked with some anger.
"Is this the person you take care of?"
Mrs. Wei did not expect Gu Shaoyu to do this. Although she was a little flustered for a moment, she suppressed her emotions and spoke.
