Chapter 49 Bringing them back to live
Hearing the old lady's words, Gu Shuyan immediately hugged the old lady's hand and said coquettishly, "Isn't it because I heard that Grandmother has delicious food here?"
"So, it turns out that Shuyan's real purpose in coming to pay her respects to Grandmother was actually to eat!"
The old lady pretended to be sad as she spoke.
"No, my granddaughter clearly came to give her grandmother something to eat at the same time, both of these are true."
Gu Shuyan cleverly approached the old lady and tried to make her happy.
Seeing the old lady's happy expression, Zhao Mama, who was standing to the side, brought over Gu Shuyan's favorite pastries with a smile.
"Miss, the old lady sent someone out to buy this flower cake early this morning, just in case they were too late for you to arrive."
As Zhao's mother was speaking, Gu Shuyan had already taken the Hundred Flower Cake and stuffed a piece into her mouth.
Seeing her eating with crumbs all over her mouth, the old lady and Zhao's mother exchanged a smile.
"See? I told you this little rascal was just here to freeload! All those nice words were just to make this old woman happy!"
"Grandmother, I'm not just trying to make you happy; I've come to pay my respects to you sincerely."
With pastries in her mouth, Gu Shuyan's unclear speech only added to her cuteness.
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
"If you ask me, our young lady just loves this kind of thing, and our old lady is willing to spoil her. It's a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive."
Pearl was originally Wu Ma's daughter. She often ran to the old lady's courtyard when she was young, so she was bolder than others when she spoke.
"Look at this, my master is such a glutton, even this girl is making fun of this old woman."
Although the old lady pointed at Pearl and complained to her mother, her smile remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Zhao's mother jokingly added, "Isn't it because you, Madam, are willing to spoil her?"
"What do you mean by 'willing to spoil'? I could hear a lot of noise coming from Mother's place, is there some happy occasion?"
The speaker was Gu Jin, who was on leave today and had not attended court.
When the old lady saw her son come in, she quickly had a maid serve tea before saying, "What happy occasion could there be? It's just a few children playing around."
As she spoke, the old lady looked at Gu Jin and said seriously, "It's a good day for you to rest. After dinner, take the children to visit your father's grave. Now that Shuyan is back, it's time for your father to meet her."
Speaking of visiting graves, Gu Jin also happened to have something to say to the old lady.
“Mother, my second brother’s family has returned. I went out to meet him yesterday.”
Gu Jin's expression was heavy when he said this, as if he had thought about it for a long time before speaking.
Sure enough, the old lady's expression turned sour upon hearing this.
"So what are your plans?"
The old lady didn't ask what they had talked about, but only asked about Gu Jin's thoughts.
Looking at his elderly mother sitting in the high seat, Gu Jin felt guilty: "I want to bring them back to live with us. After all, we are all family, and as the eldest brother, I really can't abandon them."
Even though the old lady was already prepared for Gu Jin's plan, she still couldn't help but tremble.
"grandmother?"
Gu Shuyan was closest to the old lady, so she naturally noticed the old lady's unusual behavior.
Patting her granddaughter's hand, the old lady then looked at Gu Jin and said, "Since you have already made your decision, why ask this old woman? I am old and don't have many years left to live. You young people can do whatever you want, but my good granddaughter cannot be wronged."
