Chapter 185 Transferred to Baozhai Residence
The general's wife usually loves to put on airs, but now she's shamelessly lying like this; it's truly an eye-opener.
"Now that the old lady has woken up, we can rest assured. We have already troubled you for quite some time today, and since the second lady of your household is not feeling well, we will head back now."
Madam Gu's expression remained unchanged, and her words were always considerate of the General's wife.
Anyone with eyes can see that after today's events, the Gu family and Old Madam Ji are no longer in-laws. Didn't you hear Old Madam Gu change her address for their in-laws? If they couldn't see this, they wouldn't be alive today.
"It's all because of my poor health. Since the old lady has spoken, I won't keep you any longer."
The general's wife was in a hurry to vent her anger, so she naturally had no mood to have dinner with them anymore. She simply went along with what the old lady Gu had said.
Stepping out of the General's Mansion and seeing the carriage that had already been led out, Gu Shuyan suddenly smiled sweetly at Ji Wenjin and Ji Wenxuan, "I've reserved a table at Baozhaiju, and it's almost lunchtime. Would you two cousins like to take your aunt along for a meal?"
Baozhaiju is a famous restaurant in the capital. Due to its quiet location and elegant decor, it is a favorite gathering place for nobles.
Looking into Gu Shuyan's innocent eyes, even though it was their first meeting, Ji Wenjin couldn't help but feel a genuine fondness for his little cousin.
"Your sister has put in a lot of effort, so we can only accept it without being impolite."
After saying that, Ji Wenjin directly instructed Ji Wenxuan to call Madam Ji, while he himself stood outside the door with the Gu family and waited.
Madam Ji was directing the serving of dishes in the dining room when she saw Ji Wenxuan enter. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you come alone?"
The general's wife just sent someone to say that lunch was about to start, but now we haven't seen anyone else.
Seeing this, Ji Wenxuan didn't explain to her. As a result, she put down the bowl in her hand, pushed her and walked out while saying, "Shu'er said she wanted to invite us to Baozhaiju. My son hasn't been there since he came back. We must go and have a good taste today, and let Shu'er bleed a lot."
Ji Wenxuan's words were not serious at all. Madam Ji felt that something was wrong when she heard them, but when she thought that it was Gu Shuyan who arranged it, she did not ask any more questions. She just patted Ji Wenxuan twice and scolded him for not knowing how to take care of his sister.
After leaving the mansion, the group headed straight for Baozhai Residence.
Only when they arrived at the entrance of Baozhai Residence did Madam Ji finally speak and ask Ji Shi, "Did something happen just now?"
The General's Mansion had prepared a meal, but suddenly they wanted to eat at Baozhai Residence, and no one else from the General's Mansion was there. Madam Ji wasn't stupid; she naturally sensed something was wrong, but since the Old Madam was in the carriage, Madam Ji didn't dare to ask.
"Something did happen, but it's all good stuff. Wenjin will explain it to you when we get back."
As she spoke, Madam Ji walked in with a smile. Seeing this, Madam Ji wanted to say something but could only hold back.
Sitting in the private room, looking at the dishes that were quickly served, Ji Wenjin couldn't help but glance at Gu Shuyan again.
This cousin seems to be just as Lu Hexuan said, not so simple after all. Today's seemingly unintentional quarrel, judging from this table full of food, suggests that Gu Shuyan had already decided to embarrass that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the moment she entered the General's Mansion.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to set up a table and prepare the food in such a short time.
