"Shut up, all of you!" Fang Xiwan glared at these people with a cold brow.
"Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for my daughter-in-law, you would have died of starvation and thirst during this severe drought! Now you're actually speaking ill of her. Your consciences must have been eaten by dogs!"
"Yes, you are all a bunch of ruthless people! If I hear you say bad things about my niece's wife again, I will tear your mouths apart!"
Gu Zhen also looked at these people with anger.
The coldness that came from years of fighting on the battlefield and the aura of a superior who had been in a high position for a long time frightened the people so much that they dared not even breathe.
"Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to these ungrateful things. Let's go quickly. Maybe we can catch the baby's one-year-old celebration."
Although Gu Zhen looks like a reckless man, he cannot become a general defending the country without some brains and scheming.
"good!"
Fang Xiwan nodded, then looked at the villagers, and a murderous look immediately appeared on her face.
"If I hear you say bad things about my wife again, I will cut off your tongues!"
After saying that, he drew his sword. When the villagers saw it, they were frightened and immediately took a few steps back, covering their mouths.
Then, Fang Xiwan jumped onto the carriage swiftly and disappeared from the sight of the villagers in a short while.
"My God, this woman from the capital is really fierce!"
"That's right, that's right! Did you see that? The sword in her hand has already hardened! She was about to cut our tongues just now!"
"That Shen Ningsi has such a mother-in-law, she will suffer in the future!" Someone said gloatingly.
"You are blind, don't you see that evil woman has been protecting Shen Ningsi all the time!"
Another villager glared at the man who was gloating.
"Tsk, maybe she was just acting on purpose! She wants to be known as a good mother-in-law in front of outsiders, but who knows what's going on in private?" A woman who often abuses her daughter-in-law said with a gloating look on her face.
"Alright, alright, stop talking! Let's just wait for the news!"
A woman said dissatisfiedly.
"I just don't believe it. A mother-in-law from the capital city could be attracted to a daughter-in-law from the countryside!"
Of course, Fang Xiwan had no idea what these villagers were thinking. If she knew, she would really take her sword and cut off their tongues.
After the carriage turned around, we finally saw the two courtyards they were talking about.
Fang Xiwan also got out of the carriage at this time. Listening to the lively sounds in the yard, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
At this time, she suddenly became worried about whether her daughter-in-law would call her mother, and her two children.
"Sister-in-law, what are you standing there for? The room is so lively, I think the banquet hasn't started yet, everyone should be gathered together to play with the children!"
Gu Zhen looked at Fang Xiwan who looked nervous and couldn't help but urge her.
At this moment, he was anxious to go in and see his niece-in-law and two nephews whom he had never met.
"Brother, do you think my daughter-in-law will like the gifts I brought her?"
Fang Xiwan didn't know when she was holding a large jade box in her hands.
Inside were some of her dowry, as well as the most fashionable headwear and jewelry selected in the capital.
Of course she prepared gifts for all the children.
"Sister-in-law, this isn't your style! Where's your usual carefree demeanor? You weren't this nervous when you first met Hong'er!"
Gu Zhen finally found an excuse to start teasing Fang Xiwan. There was nothing he could do about it, since she was usually so free and easy.
"Brother, if you keep making fun of me here, believe it or not, I will make my two grandchildren stop calling you great-uncle!"
Fang Xiwan snorted coldly.
After hearing this, Gu Zhen immediately became timid!
"Hey, sister-in-law, just treat what big brother said just now as nothing. Don't make my two nephews and grandnephews disown me!"
Gu Zhen was anxious. Although he knew Fang Xiwan was just joking, the Gu family was small and he had no son.
After recognizing Gu Hong, he has already regarded Gu Hong as his own son!
"You know you're wrong, right? Go call for help!"
Fang Xiwan glared at Gu Zhen. If she didn't show her temper with this elder brother, he might say something excessive.
“Okay, okay!”
Gu Zhen didn't have as many concerns as Fang Xiwan, so he walked straight to the door after he finished speaking.
Because today is the child’s first birthday, the yard door is not closed.
As soon as Gu Zhen walked to the door, he saw the lively scene inside.
"Sister-in-law, come here quickly! Your eldest grandson is going to have his birthday celebration. As a grandmother, don't just stand there!"
As soon as Gu Zhen finished speaking, Fang Xiwan hurried into the yard.
Gu Hong and his family were just about to hold the "Zhuazhou" ceremony for their two children when they heard Gu Zhen's voice.
Shen Ningsi also heard it the first time, and at this time he couldn't help but look up at the door.
At this glance, he happened to see Fang Xiwan who had just walked in from outside.
The woman's eyebrows did bear some resemblance to Gu Hong.
Although she had to sleep in the open air along the way, it could not conceal her noble aura.
He is in his thirties but has a unique charm. He walks with a heroic air. It can be seen that he is not the kind of person who cares about trivial matters in his daily life.
Just with this one glance, Shen Ningsi's uneasy heart that had been a little bit upset for so many days was instantly put at ease.
"Mom! Why didn't you send someone to tell me you were coming?"
At this time, Gu Hong also saw the woman walking in from outside the yard and hurried to greet her.
After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something, then turned around and took Shen Ningsi's hand.
Then the two of them walked towards the woman together.
Shen Ningsi was looking at Fang Xiwan, and Fang Xiwan was also looking at her.
“Mom, this is my wife Shen Ningsi!”
Gu Hong held Shen Ningsi's hand and said it seriously, with no intention of letting it go.
"Sisi, this is my mother!"
After Gu Hong finished speaking, he winked at Shen Ningsi frantically.
"mother!"
Shen Ningsi raised his foot and stepped heavily on Gu Hong, but still acted gentle and generous as he saluted Fang Xiwan as a junior.
Fang Xiwan had never expected that her daughter-in-law would be so graceful and generous. Her demeanor was even unmatched by the daughters of many aristocratic families in the capital.
"Okay, okay! Sisi, right? These are some gifts from your mother. Don't be disgusted by them. When you return to Beijing, I'll buy you something nicer!"
Of course Fang Xiwan also noticed Shen Ningsi's little action just now, but she didn't say anything.
As a wise elder, we often have to learn to turn a blind eye.
