Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Time passed day by day, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye. The autumn atmosphere gradually faded, and the weather in the capital became colder in the north wind mixed with frost and snow.

Several senior officials of the Imperial Academy were involved in the court fight back then, and they are still confinement at home. Some official duties that they really can't take home to handle can only be shared by Gu Yunji and others.Gu Yunji was so busy that he never touched the ground every day, and he often had to work overtime. In addition to the short days in winter, it was already dark when he was on duty several times.

On this day, Gu Yunji dragged his exhausted body back home again, just as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw Xu Dong waiting outside the gate from a distance, stretching his neck to look forward from time to time, as if he was very anxious.

Gu Yunji stepped forward: "Xudong, why did you come outside?"

Seeing Gu Yunji, Xu Dong immediately seemed to be pardoned, and said anxiously: "Master, you are back! Young Madam angered Madam today, and was called to stand in the hall for reprimand and punishment. She has been standing for more than half an hour now, and she hasn't come out yet. It is said that the madam is going to make a move on the young madam, so go and have a look!"

"what?!"

Gu Yunji's pupils shrank, he was startled and angry at once, Dang even followed Xudong to the hall quickly.

In the hall, Mrs. Wang sat at the head. After taking a sip of tea unhurriedly, she turned her majestic gaze towards Xu Shuhua who was standing in the hall: "If the second daughter-in-law hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it since you were pregnant. , Ji'er has been sleeping in the study room with no one to serve her, and there is not even a room around her, is this what you should do as a wife?"

Facing Mrs. Wang's questioning, Xu Shuhua lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, but tightened his fingers a little bit.

"In the past, I gave Ji'er two roommates, but he rejected both of them. Later, I thought about your newlywed Yaner, and thought that I didn't want outsiders to intervene, so I didn't force it anymore. But now you are pregnant, so you can't serve Ji'er." My son, it's been nearly a year from pregnancy to delivery, do you want him to go through it abruptly?"

Xu Shuhua was physically exhausted when she was pregnant, and she stood for more than half an hour, her legs trembled so much that she could hardly stand upright, she restrained herself and said, "My husband said that he doesn't want to accept the house, and my daughter-in-law dare not go against her husband's wishes."

Not long after they got married, Gu Yunji told Xu Shuhua very seriously that he didn't need a roommate or a concubine, she alone was enough.Xu Shuhua came from a family, even though she was mentally prepared for these things, which woman wouldn't want her husband to be alone in her heart?

Gu Yunji had already made it clear that he didn't need it, so Xu Shuhua would naturally not take the initiative to add a room for him against his will. Not only would it disrespect Gu Yunji, but she would also feel unhappy in her heart.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang's eyes froze, and her voice became cold and stern: "He said no, so you won't give it? Ji'er said that he didn't want to share the room, because he was considerate and caring for you. But if you rely on his love for you Connivance to act recklessly, but you just don't know what is good or bad!"

Seeing Xu Shuhua being reprimanded, Qin Yurong, who was sitting by the side, felt relieved, and chimed in: "What mother-in-law said is true. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It is just a polite way of saying that there is no need for intercourse. Is there anyone who really doesn’t want it? Besides, it’s not easy for men to talk about such things, if we wives are not considerate, why don’t we wait for them to ask us for it?”

Among Gu Yunji's three brothers, only the second eldest, Gu Yunlin, is mediocre, not only incompetent, but also extremely lustful.Long before they got married, they took in a whole house of common rooms, and after learning that Qin Yurong was pregnant not long ago, she couldn't wait to take a concubine, and she was so angry that she didn't sleep well for several nights.

On the other hand, Xu Shuhua's side, Gu Yunji won the first-class Jinshi at a young age, and has a bright future.Moreover, he is extremely considerate and caring towards his wife, never promiscuous outside, let alone a concubine, not even a concubine.Qin Yurong was envious and jealous at the same time, and as time passed, Xu Shuhua became more and more disliked.

Now that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, was present, Qin Yurong saw that Xu Shuhua didn't dare to refute, and said sarcastically: "Eldest brother didn't have a room before he got married, but after sister-in-law became pregnant, he took the initiative to give him a room. Now that Qin'er is over two years old, the elder brother and sister-in-law are still so affectionate, but have they become unfamiliar because of a few intercourse?"

"Third brother and sister, if you want me to tell you, we need to be more magnanimous as the main wife. Otherwise, I will have a bad reputation for being jealous. If outsiders think that the third brother is afraid of the inside, it will be a disgrace to the entire Gu family. Already!"

"Second brother and sister." Seeing Qin Yurong's exaggerated words, Zheng Xiuyun suddenly called her, the warning in her eyes was obvious.

After all, she was the elder sister-in-law, so she was somewhat dignified. Qin Yurong took a look at her and had to shut up reluctantly.

Mrs. Wang was angered by Qin Yurong's few words. She looked at Xu Shuhua and said in a deep voice, "You are young and newly married. It is not unforgivable for you to neglect your husband occasionally. As Ji'er's aunt, I will replace you You made up for the omissions and picked two common rooms and sent them to your yard, it’s fine if you don’t appreciate my kindness, how dare you refuse to accept them!”

"Xu Shuhua, you are the tallest of my three daughter-in-laws. You were raised in the capital since childhood. Everyone knows that you are well-known, dignified and virtuous. I don't want you to act like this after entering the gate of my Gu family. Mother's disobedience and unfilial piety, is this your Xu family's tutor!"

Hearing this, the blood on Xu Shuhua's face faded away, and he bit his lips tightly.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was really angry, Zheng Xiuyun hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law calm down, don't be so angry. My daughter-in-law already knows her mistake when she sees the third sibling, so you can just reprimand her. What's more, she is still pregnant. It's really not suitable to stand for a long time, mother-in-law, please forgive her this time."

Saying that, Zheng Xiuyun desperately winked at Xu Shuhua: "Quickly admit your mistake."

Xu Shuhua bowed his head obediently: "My daughter-in-law knows her mistake."

Mrs. Wang's face softened a lot, and she said: "Since you know that you are wrong, I will not punish you any more. How about this, you take the two rooms I picked back and serve your husband well from now on. What happened today is over."

Seeing Xu Shuhua drooping her eyes and remaining silent, Mrs. Wang tacitly accepted that she agreed, and said: "Everyone is tired after tossing so late, let's go back and rest earlier." Then, she stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to help Mrs. Wang back to her room when she heard Xu Shuhua's cold voice: "Forgive my daughter-in-law for not obeying her orders."

Mrs. Wang froze, almost suspecting that she had heard wrongly, she turned around and looked at Xu Shuhua in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Xu Shuhua stood with a pale face, but he was surprisingly stubborn, and said calmly: "My husband once said that no concubines will be accepted. Now that my husband is not here, my daughter-in-law really dare not make her own claims. Please forgive her for not obeying her orders. "
