Chapter 1395 Regret

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Rongchuan and his party left Yizhou for Huaizhou. Xuehan told his younger brother, "We will arrive in Huaizhou in a few days. I will send you to Brother Wu Ming's house, and then we will separate. When we come back to pick you up, you must listen to Brother Wu Ming and don't wander around."

Changzhong nodded repeatedly, "I've written it all down."

Xue Han stretched out her hand and pinched the younger brother's ear, "You better be serious."

Changzhong covered his ears and said, "Stop, stop squeezing me. You're using too much force."

Xue Han snorted and let go of her hand, "Then just be quiet."

Changzhong pointed at himself and said, "I have been so honest these days. I have been following you all the time."

"Don't think I'm annoying. I'm really worried about you. I feel more at ease knowing you're under my watch. If you really get hurt, I won't be able to explain to my parents when I get home."

Changzhong sighed, "I'm very obedient."

"Who told you that you are your parents' baby?"

Changzhong's ears turned red unnaturally, "Sister, is Lu Jiaqing going with you?"

Xue Han shook her head, "He's staying with you. We're not taking him with us."

Changzhong was happy, "I will take good care of him."

Xue Han laughed, "I think he should be the one taking care of you. Even though he is younger than you, he knows much more than you do."

"His skills are all acquired for survival. If we compare them, I can beat him by several dozen."

He also practices martial arts, although it is just for physical training, and he is quite good at it.

Xue Han shook her head. "I heard from your brother-in-law that he works very hard. If you don't practice martial arts seriously, he will catch up with you soon."

Changzhong felt a little nervous. He was older than Lu Jiaqing and had not been keen on martial arts before, but in order not to be outdone, he became much more serious.

In the Gu clan's land, Yu Shuang helped her mother-in-law get on the carriage. Hu ignored the people around her who were trying to please her and simply lowered the curtain inside the carriage to block out the gazes from outside.

Mrs. Hu knew that Gu Jiagan's stupid behavior made her very angry. She knew that Gu Jiagan had done more harm than good, so she was extremely glad that he had succeeded her, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would have died.

Mrs. Hu patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "We will only come back this time. We won't come back again in the future. I'm sorry for making you angry these days."

Yu Shuang, "Mom, I'm fine, don't get upset."

Mrs. Hu said, "Don't even think about coming to our house in the future. I will stop them from coming in."

In Yu Shuang's eyes, her mother-in-law had always been good-tempered. In the past few days, she had lost her temper with the Gu family several times, which overturned her impression of her mother-in-law. "Mother, have you forgotten that we will start our new post when we return to Beijing?"

Hu clapped his hands, "Yes, I was so angry that I almost forgot about it."

At the same time, he cursed the Gu family for being stupid. How could Liu Feng rely on the Yue family to take office? These people even wanted to sow discord between Liu Feng and the Yue family. They were so stupid and vicious.

Liu Feng was about to get on the carriage, and Gu San stepped forward, "Although you are an adopted son, we are the closest blood relatives. Are you really not going to help your uncle?"

Liu Feng, "I have to rely on the Yue family, how can I help others? It's getting late, we have to set off."

Gu San was so angry that he hadn't eaten anything for the past few days. He could only watch the carriage set off.

Inside the carriage, Yu Shuang was stunned when she heard her mother-in-law's words, "Mother, aren't you going with us to take up the post?"

Mrs. Hu, "The child is grown up now, and you can take care of him. I will not follow him. You two should live your own lives."

It was the first time for her to be a mother-in-law, but she knew everything in her mind. She should not interfere in the life of the young couple. Those who are far away are more fragrant than those who are nearby. If she did not follow her, her daughter-in-law would always praise her for her good points. If she really followed her, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but interfere, and her tongue might even touch her teeth.

It is good enough for my daughter-in-law to live with me after she has given birth to a child. It would not be good if I continue to follow her around.

Yu Shuang sincerely invited her mother-in-law to go with her, "Mom, the child will miss you."

Mrs. Hu waved her hands, "If I really want the child to come and see you, I'll tell Liu Feng when I get to Beijing."

In the capital, Guo first came to Zhou's house. Zhulan looked at the gift she brought and said, "The gift is too expensive."

Mrs. Guo said hurriedly, "They are not expensive, just some common things. I was worried that they would not suit the old lady's taste!"

Zhulan is sure that Guo is here to show off her wealth, using practical actions to demonstrate that the Liu family is indeed not short of money. The gifts delivered today include her favorite paintings and Zhou Shuren's favorite pens and inks, and each one is not cheap.

Zhulan, "Then I will shamelessly accept it. Don't bring such a heavy gift next time."

When Guo heard that there would be a next time, she smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to the old lady."

Zhulan said to Zhao: "Take Madam Guo for a walk."

Zhao stood up and said, "Yes."

Zhulan waited for Guo to leave, then stood up to choose a return gift. The Liu family had sent her an expensive gift, so she couldn't be stingy in return. It was not only a matter of face, but also a signal that she hoped to continue the relationship.

Zhulan selected a piece of material for making a seal, and picked out some leather, etc., and estimated their approximate value. She asked the maid to pack them one by one and waited for Guo to leave and take them away.

Now that spring has arrived and the flowers are in bloom, the scenery in the courtyard is very beautiful. Guo sighed, "I have heard that your mansion has beautiful scenery. Today I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Zhao pointed to the pavilion and said, "Let's go over there and sit down."

"good."

The pavilion was close to where Yuyi studied. As soon as she sat down, she heard the sound of a piano. Guo moved her ears and asked, "Who is playing the piano?"

The smile in Zhao's eyes deepened, "The sound of Yudie's piano."

Guo listened more carefully, "Ms. Zhou's piano skills are really good."

Zhao said modestly, "She is still far from it!"

The one who plays the piano best in the family is Yuyi. Yuyi can be patient in doing anything and can easily get into the state of playing the piano. But the same cannot be said for Yudie. She has paid a lot of attention to Yudie to achieve her current piano skills.

Guo really wanted to go and see the young ladies of the Zhou family studying, but unfortunately she was a guest. It was an unexpected surprise for her to hear the piano music today.

Guo wanted to sit there until the girls finished their class, but it was too rude, so she left after sitting there for only a short while on her first visit.

In the carriage, Guo couldn't help but look through the return gift, and the smile on her face grew wider and wider.

After returning home, Guo stopped after walking a few steps and asked, "You didn't go to the clan school today?"

Liu Yuanbo's hands moved unnaturally. "My son came back to pick up the book he dropped. Mother, where have you been?"

"You really don't know?"

Liu Yuanbo, "How would I know?"

Guo teased her son, "If you don't know, forget it. Go to the clan school."

Liu Yuanbo, "!!"

This is his own mother, she knows exactly what he is thinking!

Guo couldn't stop laughing. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I just came back from Zhou's house. Do you want to know what gift Zhou gave me?"

Liu Yuanbo asked his eldest brother what gifts his mother had brought. Giving and returning gifts are very particular, and he was a little nervous. "What did you return?"

However, Mrs. Guo was not ready to tell her son, so she made the brat anxious, "If I don't tell you, don't expect to ask your eldest brother for information."

Liu Yuanbo blushed. His mother knew what he had asked his elder brother about. Then she pursed her lips and said, "I really didn't tell him that I was leaving. If I had known this, I wouldn't have been so stubborn!"
