Chapter 513 Miscarriage
As Gu Shuyan followed Zhao's mother inside, she quietly inquired about the old lady's condition.
"After taking the medicine that Miss Yuxin brought, the old lady has been sleeping more soundly these past few days. However, sometimes when she sees Miss Yuxin studying alone, the old lady always seems to be lost in thought."
Zhao's mother didn't finish her sentence, but Gu Shuyan already understood what she meant. It's likely that the old woman, though not saying anything on the surface, was still saddened inside.
As they were talking, the two entered the house. As soon as Gu Shuyan saw the old lady, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
"Granddaughter greets her grandmother."
“Yan’er is here, come sit with your grandmother.”
The old lady was very happy to see Gu Shuyan. These days she felt that the courtyard was lacking in vitality, but Gu Shuyan's arrival made her feel much more comfortable.
"I heard the groom took the wedding dress?"
Although the old lady doesn't manage affairs, her ears are incredibly sharp. As soon as Yun Yichen's men left the manor, the old lady received the news.
"Grandma, you know!"
Gu Shuyan smiled somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing this. The old lady had already reminded her about the wedding dress.
However, she didn't take it to heart until the date was approaching, at which point she hurriedly rushed to finish the work.
"You don't mean to keep it from your grandmother, do you? Although your husband is a bit cold-hearted, he is a caring person. Your grandmother can rest assured once you marry him."
The old lady spoke with a hint of melancholy, saying that Gu Shuyan had not had a single peaceful day since she returned.
Those demons and monsters either want to harm her or want to take advantage of her. Now they've even dragged the Wei and Jin states into it. It's good that Gu Shuyan can get married sooner.
Moreover, Yun Yichen has a bad reputation as the Grand Secretary of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After marrying into the Yun family, those people will be more wary of her.
“Brother Yun is very good to me, Grandmother, you don’t need to worry.”
When Gu Shuyan mentioned Yun Yichen, a girlish joy inevitably appeared on her face.
Seeing her like this, the old lady nodded with satisfaction. As long as her granddaughter didn't feel wronged, that was all that mattered.
"Big sister, will you come back often after you get married?"
Gu Yuxin had just lost her younger sister, and now Gu Shuyan was getting married, leaving her feeling empty inside.
Looking at her blinking eyes, Gu Shuyan reached out and patted her head: "Of course I will! Besides, the two mansions are so close, you can come to see me anytime!"
"Really? That's wonderful." Gu Yuxin finally smiled.
After the group talked for a while, a large group of people suddenly entered Yunxiang Courtyard. The old woman guarding the gate was startled when she saw that they were all bricklayers, and she hurriedly ran in to report.
"Who sent them? Help me to see them." The old lady said sternly, and was about to get up.
Upon seeing this, Gu Shuyan quickly helped her up, "Grandmother, those people were invited by your granddaughter. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you beforehand."
"Oh! You invited him?"
It was more of a shock than a surprise; the old lady thought something terrible had happened.
However, there's nothing in her courtyard that needs repair, so why did Gu Shuyan bring these people here?
Gu Shuyan naturally noticed the old lady's doubts, but since she had said it was a surprise, she couldn't say it now. Keeping her in suspense, Gu Shuyan slowly helped the old lady into the courtyard.
Pearl had already received instructions and was now leading everyone to a wide courtyard wall.
"Let's all get started!"
Pearl gave an order to the group, and they immediately got to work with their tools.
The old lady didn't understand Gu Shuyan's plan, but she didn't object. She simply had someone brew tea for the three of them to enjoy together.
The professional bricklayers were very efficient; in just two hours, they had finished building the structure as Gu Shuyan had agreed.
Soon after, the florists began to work, and in half a day, they had built a beautiful flowerbed in Yunxiang Courtyard.
"You silly girl, my place is only so big, and you still go to the trouble of building a flower bed. Don't you find it troublesome?"
The old lady seemed to be complaining, but the smile on her face was completely undisguised.
"No trouble at all. This empty space is just sitting idle anyway, it would be a waste not to make use of it. Besides, the doctor has already examined all the flowers in the flowerbed, and they are all plants that can help people sleep well and promote health, which will be very beneficial to Grandmother's health."
As the old lady gets older, she becomes increasingly reluctant to go out, and the flowers in the garden are too bright and not the type she likes.
So Gu Shuyan thought of building a small flower garden in Yunxiang Courtyard and planting flowers that the old lady liked and that were good for her health, so that the old lady would be happier when she saw these words.
You're so thoughtful!
The old lady patted Gu Shuyan's hand, her gaze sweeping over the flowers, and the vexation she had felt these past few days suddenly vanished.
Everyone has their own destiny, and how they end up is entirely up to them. Now that I have two such loving granddaughters by my side, what more could I ask for?
After a busy day at Yunxiang Courtyard, Gu Shuyan naturally stayed for dinner with the old lady.
However, before they could even eat, an uninvited guest arrived.
“Mother, you must stand up for your daughter-in-law! Otherwise, your daughter-in-law really won’t be able to live.”
The speaker was none other than the Second Madam, He Yin.
Gu Shuyan was immediately displeased when she saw He Yin crying as soon as she entered the room. She had gone to great lengths to cheer up the old lady, and He Yin was already making trouble again.
"What's wrong now?" The old lady's face fell, and her eyes were full of impatience as she looked at He Yin.
He Yin naturally knew that the eldest son's family did not like her, but her family was no longer in the capital, and there was really no one else besides the eldest son's family who could stand up for her.
“Mother, you don’t know this. A few days ago, my daughter-in-law felt unwell and had to see a doctor to find out that she was pregnant. Because she was only recently pregnant, she didn’t tell anyone. But little did she know that this would actually harm him!”
As He Yin spoke, she started crying again. Her maidservant rushed to comfort her, but He Yin was so heartbroken that she wouldn't listen to her.
Hearing He Yin's words, the old lady couldn't help but frown. "You mean the child is gone?"
As someone who had been through similar experiences, the old lady could tell from He Yin's pale face that He Yin had probably miscarried.
Seeing that the old lady had already guessed, He Yin immediately nodded and began to sob loudly again.
Seeing her like this, the old lady gave Zhao Mama a wink, and Zhao Mama nodded and immediately withdrew.
"Stop crying. Tell me what happened to this child. How did he die?"
Even if the old lady disliked He Yin, she was still her daughter-in-law. Now that her grandson was gone, if she ignored it, it would only give others something to gossip about.
