"Si Lang is so nervous now that the baby is in your belly. I'm afraid he will be watching over you and your child every day after the baby is born."

Mrs. Du's words made Xuenniang blush a little, but Guo Silang was thick-skinned and not afraid of being criticized. He supported Xuenniang and replied.

"Aunt Du is right! If it weren't for my grandfather and the others at home urging me to go out, I wouldn't even want to go out. I would just stay with them."

"To my brother!"

Xue Niang pouted her lips and pretended to be angry, but in Guo Silang's eyes, her heart really melted. The relationship between the two of them had always been good, so after getting married, they lived in harmony and supported each other.

After a few funny words were exchanged on the shore, the boat was seen approaching.

The Su family's boatmen were all experienced, so they did what they were supposed to do very quickly. When Gu Shaoyu saw his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for many days, he didn't bother to wait for them to get off the boat, so he used several ladders to get on board.

Mr. Du was envious and jealous, and then he said something.

"Bully us because we don't know martial arts."

Mrs. Du, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but pat him when she saw him like this, and said with a hint of anger.

"You're even jealous of your own son-in-law? Master, you're going backwards as you get older!"

On the boat, Du Jingyi saw Gu Shaoyu stepping towards him with his own eyes. It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised, but since the Minister's wife was beside him, he had to be dignified even if he was excited.

She managed to hold back, but the children beside her couldn't.

"Father."

Tai Ge'er ran over first and hugged Gu Shaoyu's legs. He hadn't seen his father for a long time and he still missed his father very much.

The three brothers were no less impressed when they saw it. They were almost two years old now, so they walked naturally and steadily.

When several dark little heads gathered around Gu Shaoyu's feet and called him father, he instantly felt at ease. After worrying for so long, he finally saw him. How could he not miss him?

So he simply hugged all four children in his arms and smiled, a rare smile.

When the assistant minister's wife saw this, she was also very envious and said.

"General Gu is so gentle, and he is only gentle to the children and you. You are so lucky, Madam Gu."

"I'm sorry to make you, Madam Minister, laugh."

"I'm sorry to bother you with this journey. My fourth brother and I will send mother back first. We will definitely send the invitation to the general's mansion in two days."

"In that case, I won't stay any longer. Madam Minister, take care."

Then Du Jingyi bowed slightly in the direction of the Countess and began to speak.

"Take care, auntie."

"Thank you, General Gu and Madam Gu."

The Countess's face was still a little pale, but much better than the previous few days. She would recover after resting for two or three days, so it was not a big deal.

So, after both parties said a brief farewell, the people from the Earl's Mansion left first.

The Su family boatman who was left behind to unload the luggage was carrying it seriously. The eldest sister-in-law and Shang Zhiping had not returned for a long time, especially Shang Zhiping, who was only a child of thirteen or fourteen years old when he left. When he came back, he was already a young man who could be married.

Compared to the more than ten years he had spent in the Duke's Mansion in Sui'an City, he had made a lot of progress in the past two or three short years. Now, even if he were asked to return to the Duke's Mansion immediately to compete with Madam Wei and the others, he would not be afraid.

"Sister-in-law, Ping'er."

"Sixth Uncle."

"Finally I'm back safely. You know what, although Jinling City is good, I'm still more comfortable in Sui'an City. After all, I've lived here for decades and I really can't leave."

Sister-in-law Liu's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Du Jingyi was deeply touched by them.

So it really is true that beautiful mountains and rivers are not as good as the ones around home.

After getting off the boat, the eldest sister-in-law and Shang Zhiping went straight to the Du couple and Xue Niang and her husband, and first bowed respectfully to the two elders.

"Meet godfather and godmother. I'm sorry to have troubled you. You're still standing at the dock in this weather. Are you feeling well?"

"It's fine, don't worry."

Mrs. Du was talking affectionately to her sister-in-law, Liu, then she looked at Ping'er and said with emotion.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Ping'er seems to have grown taller and stronger. She looks like an adult now."

"Who says it's not true? I'm already eighteen years old, it's time for me to get married and live a peaceful and happy life."

Mrs. Du soon got the answer after hearing what her sister-in-law Liu said.

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

"Does this mean that you have found a suitable family?"

"Well, it's almost certain. My sister-in-law helped me to look at the fortune, so my godmother is waiting to drink at the wedding."

Mrs. Du naturally believed in Du Jingyi's vision, but she had never heard of him before coming here, so Mrs. Du thought he was from Jinling City.

I was just thinking about asking a question, but then I felt it was inappropriate, so I didn't continue.

Instead, the eldest sister-in-law shifted her gaze to Xue Niang, rubbed her hands, and then touched her bulging belly, saying something blamingly.

"You are already a mother, but you don't even think about taking care of yourself. Why are you here in the cold wind? Just wait at home. We are not going to run away."

"I haven't seen you guys for a long time, so I naturally miss you. Besides, I've been very warm since I got pregnant. I'm not cold. Please feel me."

Liu reached out and touched her hand, and it was indeed warm.

"That won't work either. Late spring cold is no joke. If you really catch a cold, not only will you suffer, but the child will also feel uncomfortable. Hurry up and get in the carriage. Let's go back and talk about it."

Xuenniang was raised by eldest sister-in-law Liu, so even though she was a younger sister-in-law, she was almost like a daughter, so naturally she treated her with the tone of an elder when she showed concern for her.

Obviously, Xueniang also enjoyed the care from her sister-in-law, so she laughed more happily than ever.

On the other side, Gu Shaoyu held two children in one hand, and Mu Lianying, who followed behind him, also held two children in one hand, and they finally carried all four children down steadily.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du rushed over like their darlings, took them, and wanted to hold one in each hand like Gu Shaoyu did. However, they did not have enough strength, so they could only squat down and look at this one on the left, then that one on the right.

Tai Ge'er was older and obviously remembered his grandparents, but the triplets were a little confused. When they looked at Mr. Du and Mrs. Du, there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

Du Jingyi squatted down and spoke patiently.

"This is grandpa, and this is grandma. Grandpa and grandma took care of you when you were little. Do you remember the orchid handkerchief? It was given to you by your grandma."

The orchid handkerchief was originally used by Mrs. Du to wipe the children's mouths, but over time it became stained with the children's scent, so the three brothers kept one each and took it out from time to time to use as a pillow before sleeping.
