"I apologize to you for making you feel wronged last night!"
Before she could react, she was completely immersed in a surging emotion. It was not until someone came outside to call them to go see their elders that they reluctantly came out of the bed.
One ate with relish, the other blushed with shame.
In short, this is how Xueniang's married life began.
Three days later, the sun was shining brightly.
The Guo family's carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion. Today was Xuenniang's return home day. From the eldest sister-in-law Liu to Gu Shaoyu, and then to Butler He, and Nanny Dou, everyone was looking forward to it.
Although she had known for a long time that she would not be wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when she saw her radiant appearance, her sister-in-law Liu's relief was beyond words.
"The child with the tall calf is now married. If the mother-in-law knew about this, she would be very happy!"
The sister-in-law's words made Xuenniang feel a little sad.
Compared to her own biological mother, her feelings for her eldest sister-in-law were the deepest. They had spent those difficult days in Dongyuan together with Ping'er, so no matter when or where, she must be closest to her eldest sister-in-law! So, she nestled in her eldest sister-in-law's arms and said coquettishly, as if she had not married yet.
"Thank you for your care over the years, sister-in-law. From now on, Silang and I will honor you together!"
The Silang she mentioned was naturally her husband Guo Ziyi, who was now talking to Gu Shaoyu. After getting married, he became more handsome and upright, which made Gu Shaoyu's mouth slightly raised.
However, he would only show some extreme emotions in front of his grandmother, Madam Gu, and his wife Du Jingyi. In front of others, he would maintain a calm expression.
"Sixth Brother."
"Um."
He followed his wife in calling him Sixth Brother, which was quite nice, and Gu Shaoyu also spoke as if he were an elder.
"Be good to Xue Niang from now on, okay?"
"Don't worry, if I behave strangely, you don't have to do anything, my grandmother will be the first one to not forgive me!"
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu was really relieved. After all, he could see that Mrs. Guo loved and doted on her sister.
After saying a few simple words, he began to explain.
"In two days, I will set off for Cezhou. It will take at least two to three months for me to return. I am the only one supporting the General's Mansion. You can come back and accompany me when you are free. As for the date of going south, you can discuss it among the others. I have already told my sister-in-law where the Su family's ship is docked. If you want to go together, you can take a ship. It is more than half faster than traveling by land, and it is much more convenient to travel."
Seeing this, Guo Silang nodded and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother. After I go back and ask my grandparents for permission, I will come to confirm the date with my eldest sister-in-law. I heard that Sixth Sister-in-law is pregnant with three children. We must join in on this exciting event!"
Hearing Guo Silang suddenly mention his wife and children, the feeling of missing him surged out like the sea, and Gu Shaoyu's eyes were full of tenderness.
Guo Silang saw it all and admired the Sixth Sister-in-law in his heart.
It was amazing that he could "take down" a person like Sixth Brother! Not long after he finished speaking, the banquet started. After the four of them had eaten solemnly, Gu Shaoyu spoke.
"Father is not well anymore. I didn't mention this matter before because your marriage is imminent. I plan to go and take a look today. If my eldest sister-in-law and eighth sister are willing, they can go with me. But if they don't want to, I won't force them."
It has been months since Gu Shaoyu left. Although he is extremely disappointed with his father, he did not see his mother for the last time. If his father really passed away this time, he would still feel a little regretful, so after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to go.
Sister-in-law Liu had heard about it before, but Xuenniang was the only one who didn't know.
So her face was full of surprise and disbelief, and it was noticeable that the expressions of her sister-in-law and sixth brother were quite serious. Only then did she realize that it was actually true.
After a complicated silence for a moment, he sighed and said.
"I will go with Sixth Brother and his wife. Even though Father treats us like street kids, he is still our father. It is our filial duty to him to take a last look at us."
Her words made sense to Gu Shaoyu and his elder sister-in-law Liu, so they put down their chopsticks and ordered people to prepare the carriages. Soon, they arrived in front of the Duke's Mansion.
Compared to when Gu Shaoyu just came back, the gate of the Duke's Mansion has obviously not changed much, but it looks a lot more desolate.
Sure enough, red energy can nourish people.
Especially in this big mansion, if it is prosperous and bustling with people, the gate of the mansion will naturally appear extraordinarily majestic. But if it is deserted and gloomy, it will of course make people feel daunted.
The servant at the door was a little sleepy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was spring time and people were feeling sleepy and tired, so I didn't see Gu Shaoyu and the others coming over.
It was Luo Yuan's shout that woke the dreamer up. The gatekeeper rubbed his eyes, still a little incredulous.
After all, the last time these masters came to visit was during the Chinese New Year last year. Now, in the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed. Time really flies. He quickly stood up and said respectfully.
"General, Madam Eldest Young Master, why is Miss Eighth here?"
"Why call her Eighth Miss? You should call her Madam Fourth Young Master Guo instead."
Nanny Ge beside Xue Niang corrected her immediately and told the servants in the Duke's Mansion to remember that their young lady was no longer the neglected Eighth Young Lady, but the extremely favored wife of the Fourth Young Master Guo in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's also a good way to vent the bad feelings of those years!
After hearing what Madam Ge said, the servant immediately changed his words.
"Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue. It wasn't the Eighth Miss, it was the Fourth Young Master Guo's wife!"
"Okay, lead the way. We are here today to see my father-in-law."
Sister-in-law Liu didn't want to waste words with the servants in the Duke's Mansion. After all, they were all Madam Wei's people, so she would feel annoyed if she looked at them any more. It would be better for her to see her father-in-law as soon as possible and go back.
Therefore, this sentence was said.
Visiting the Duke? The sun must be rising from the west! Didn’t the Duke’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion have a falling out a long time ago? In the past, when the masters of the East Garden just moved out, the two families still had some exchanges, but now, let alone exchanges, even the preparation of gifts for the New Year has never happened. Everyone in the servants knows that the two sides have torn their faces apart a long time ago! But having said that, the one who should lead the way still has to lead the way, so he immediately bent over and led a few people into the door of the Duke’s Mansion!
