"Young lady from the Gu family? Is she the granddaughter of Madam Gu, Gu Xiaolang?"

The Countess never imagined that after all the twists and turns, he would end up marrying her, and the wedding date had already been set. He only sent the news then, and she really didn't know what to say.

"Hmph, if you ask me, it's useless to have this young lady from the Gu family. Look at how her family avoided us like snakes and scorpions in the past. They thought there was something wrong with our Sanlang, but now she's eager to get married. She'll be an old lady in her twenties next year. With my current reputation and ability, there's no doubt that he can find a girl with good talent and good looks. Why did he have to choose her?"

However, the Crown Princess looked down on Gu Xiaolang because of what happened in the past.

That's why she said these sour words here, but fortunately the Countess was sober and patted her hands and said.

"Don't say that. You and I both liked this young lady from the Gu family at first, but she and Sanlang were not destined to be together at that time. Now that she is going to marry into our family, just treat her the same. Don't forget that Gu Shaoyu is behind her."

The Crown Princess understood how important Gu Shaoyu was to the Eastern Palace without the Countess telling her, so even though she had some grudges against Gu Xiaolang, she would still smile at him after she got married.

So he restrained his just cold attitude and then spoke.

"My daughter is just complaining to mother. Would you really make things difficult for her? My daughter is not an ignorant person. With the achievements of the Gu family today, as long as she is my third sister-in-law, her position in the East Palace and even in the harem in the future will be more stable. I will not shoot myself in the foot, mother, rest assured."

The Crown Princess was taught by the Countess herself, and she has managed the backyard of the Eastern Palace very well over the years, and nothing has happened, so the Countess believes that what she said was from the heart.

So he didn't ask any more questions, but instead started thinking about Yan Sanlang's marriage.

"The wedding is in early February, so we may have to rush to prepare. Fortunately, we have everything ready, so we are not afraid. When the time comes, we can clean up the courtyard where Sanlang lives, add what needs to be added, and change what needs to be changed. It won't be troublesome. By the way, have they said when they will be back?"

Before the Countess could finish her words, the Earl walked in with an angry look on his face and said something in a sarcastic tone.

"Stop busying yourself. Your son is going to be someone's son-in-law. Humph, why are you still here cleaning the yard? I think it's unnecessary. Just make him a wedding dress and send it to him. This disgraceful thing actually dared to marry into the family. It's simply a disgrace to our Earl's Mansion!"

"What? Come to the house? Marry into the wife's family? Where did father hear this news?"

"Is there anything wrong with the stuff sent from Jinling City?"

The Crown Princess frowned. This was not the expression she had when she heard the Crown Prince mention this matter. Could it be that the Crown Prince had lied to her?

"Father, don't worry. The prince has not told his daughter about this matter. There may be a misunderstanding. General Gu is not such a person who doesn't know the rules and would force our family to come to his house. So it is better to understand it clearly first, so as not to be taken advantage of by others and sow discord."

After hearing what the Crown Princess said, the Earl finally came to his senses from his rage.

Although he was very unhappy with what Yan Sanlang did, after all, he was now bringing honor to the family, so he could let go of the past. But if he insisted on marrying into the Gu family, then he would rather not have this son. There was no point in keeping such a shameful thing.

Yan Silang looked at his father's ever-changing expression and felt a little scared. It would be best if this really didn't happen, otherwise he would be afraid of losing his third brother.

The two places are far apart, so the news is transmitted slowly. Before the inquiry from the Earl's Mansion reached Yan Sanlang's ears, New Year's Eve arrived.

This was the third New Year's Eve that Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi spent in Jinling City.

Compared with last year, this year is better.

The Gu family was swept clean and decorated with red ornaments, so the atmosphere was naturally lively.

In the flower hall, everyone was having dinner.

The meals were prepared by Danruo herself as usual, so no one could find fault with them and everyone ate with gusto.

The head of the family now is Gu Shaoyu, so he naturally sits in the main seat in the middle, while the aunt and Du Jingyi sit on both sides. The others sit down in turn. In addition to the children, there is also Yan Sanlang this year.

He has no relatives in Jinling City, so he either lives at the Xing family or in the Navy Camp. This year, because he and Gu Xiaolang are engaged, he can come to the Gu family.

It's just that because they are getting married after the new year, they didn't sit at the same table and ate separately, but it didn't affect the friendship in their eyes.

Third aunt has now put her worries to rest and is happy about everything she does.

And the usually lively Fourth Aunt seemed a little quiet today. Perhaps it was because the sisters-in-law now had hope, so they were not as withered as before, and slowly seemed to be being fed.

She, on the other hand, is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

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

She looks the most heartless, but in reality, she is truly alone here.

Du Jingyi could see it, so she thought of finding a chance to ask her. If she was willing, she could go north with them to Sui'an City. After all, there were many children in her family, and Tai Ge'er was quite close to her, so if they went together they could take care of each other.

Adults have many worries, but children smile innocently.

Although Madam Gu had gone, the new children in the house were enough to make the atmosphere lively. The youngest, Zhong Ge'er, could already sit by himself, and the wet nurse carefully fed him vegetable and meat soup, which he ate mouthful by mouthful with great relish.

As for the other children, they were all sitting properly.

Tai Ge'er can eat by himself, and his fingers are much more flexible than before, so his clothes are less likely to get dirty. He eats more attentively than anyone else.

The triplets, like Zhong'er, were fed by wet nurses. The most aggressive one was naturally the noisy Wen'er, but he was somewhat quieter when Gu Shaoyu was around.

Compared to her brothers, Jin'er, the only daughter in the family, sat obediently in her aunt's arms. It was obvious that she had a different temperament from those brats.

Her uncle's mother fed her herself, and she ate each bite cleanly and quietly, which made Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaoyun, who only gave birth to sons, very envious. Then they started talking.

"My daughter is so thoughtful. Just look at how radiant her elder sister is now and you will know how easy it is to take care of Jin'er."
