Chapter 14 Doing Business

Zhao Mingruo nodded, and smiled understandingly, "Husband, I'm glad you can come back, I know you've worked hard."

"Study is the most important thing. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Hou Mansion. I will take care of it for you. I only hope that your husband can go to high school, and your concubine status can be considered complete."

While gently wiping Gu Changheng's sweat with a handkerchief, she ordered Ah Fu to pour tea for him.

As the warm tea entered his stomach, Gu Changheng's complexion improved a lot. He looked at the busy Zhao Mingruo. After being married for so long, it was the first time that he felt that his wife could also be gentle and virtuous without being so overbearing.

"Ah Ruo..."

The tea was almost finished, Gu Changheng carefully placed the teacup on the small mahogany table, trying to figure out how to ask for money.

"Although studying is the most important thing now, the entire Hou Mansion is on your shoulders. As a husband, I really... really love you."

Zhao Mingruo's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled bitterly, "Husband, why do you say these hurtful words properly, I don't know... I don't know how to answer you."

Gu Changheng held Zhao Mingruo's slender hand tightly, and looked at her with a loving expression, "My husband knows it all in his heart, I understand it all, Ah Ruo, fortunately I have you."

Zhao Mingruo endured the discomfort.

"Husband can't bear to see you working so hard, Ah Ruo, let my husband help you share some of it. You and I don't study all the time every day." Gu Changheng finally revealed his real purpose after laying the groundwork.

"You are sick, it's time to take a good rest and recuperate, and leave the estate shop in the house to me."

Zhao Mingruo wept emotionally, "Husband...but will this really not delay your studies? If it delays, mother..."

"Don't worry, I will explain to my mother that we are a family, and we will not delay any delays."

"Okay, husband, then... it may be too much to give you the family property at once. Why don't you give you two shops first, try it first, and if it doesn't delay your studies, then I will give it all to you later."

"Okay, then it's settled." Gu Changheng's voice couldn't hide his excitement.

Ah Fu brought the keys and land deeds of the two shops for him, "Husband, I will leave it to you. Thank you so much."

"Ah Ruo, rest well, I'll come see you later tomorrow."

Zhao Mingruo nodded and smiled, "Okay."
"Third young master, the second lady has already fallen asleep..."

As soon as the voices of the servants stopped, a tall figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"Second sister-in-law, I heard you right, do you really want to take a concubine for my second brother?"

The third young master, Gu Changxi, was dressed in a cloud brocade dress, with handsome features, noble and coquettish, and his expression could not hide his anxiety and worry.

Although he and Gu Changheng are siblings of the same mother, the third young master looks cynical and rebellious, but he is upright and kind. Ever since Zhao Mingruo, the second sister-in-law, rescued the Hou Mansion, Gu Changxi has cast all her eyes on this sister-in-law, even more Accept her into the family from the bottom of my heart.

It is also the only one in the entire Hou Mansion who treats her purely and cleanly.

In the last life, she and Gu Changheng gradually drifted away, even if they supported the Hou's mansion, they were struggling, and even when they went to inspect Zhuangzi, someone would shoot her. Every time there was a crisis, Gu Changxi would come to rescue her and protect her. She will take good care of her sister-in-law in front of others.

Thinking back to the previous life, Gu Changxi's verbal warnings overtly and covertly were all kind reminders to her after she found out about Yun Suiwan, but she didn't realize it when she fell into the beautiful lies woven by Gu Changheng.

Before Zhao Mingruo could answer, Gu Changxi frowned and said, "Even if your health is really bad, then you just need to take care of your illness. It won't be too late to give birth to my second brother when you recover from illness. No one outside will dare to say that you No, I beat them to death to vent your anger, second sister-in-law, you don't have to wrong yourself like this."

The young man with red lips and white teeth was filled with righteous indignation and defended himself against injustice. Zhao Mingruo felt a warm current in his heart, and was very moved, "Third brother, second sister-in-law has not been wronged."

"Second sister-in-law is indeed in poor health and needs a long time to recuperate. Your second brother is three years older than you, and your Feng'er is four years old. He was worried and didn't tell me. I know it, but Letting my aunt come in to share my worries will not affect me."

Gu Changxi became anxious, "What if the second brother is really snatched away by that aunt?"

Zhao Mingruo smiled, "Don't be afraid, didn't your second brother say that you only like me in this life, even if you have an aunt, it won't change."

These words sounded ironic, and it was even more disgusting to say them in person.

Gu Changxi's brows frowned even more. Obviously, as a man and a sibling, he knew Gu Changheng far better than Zhao Mingruo, "Second sister-in-law, that's not necessarily true, everything happens in case."

Zhao Mingruo nodded, and changed the subject again, "Third brother, if the second sister-in-law and your second brother really have a dispute in the future, when they are strangers, will you hate the second sister-in-law?"

Gu Changxi looked at Zhao Mingruo with strange eyes. The second sister-in-law's infatuation for his second brother was obvious to all, and the second brother was gentle and caring for his sister-in-law. He didn't know where the second sister-in-law's sudden words came from.

But he is firm.

"Second sister-in-law has always been a sensible person, and she is even better for my Houfu. There is nothing to say. Your actions and conduct are obvious to all. If there is a day when second sister-in-law and second brother have a dispute, it must be What did the second brother do that hurt the second sister-in-law deeply."

"Sister-in-law will always be my sister-in-law. No one can replace you, and I will never hate you."

Zhao Mingruo was indescribably moved.

There are not many people in this world who firmly believe in themselves. Even her mother's family, Duke Ning, treats her coldly, but her uncle trusts her so much.

"Third brother, thank you very much."

Gu Changxi raised a big smile, "Second sister-in-law, you are unfamiliar with saying this."

"Since you have made up your mind to take my second brother as a concubine, I won't say anything more, but if my second brother has no conscience to let you down, just tell me and I will vent your anger on you."

He clenched his fists.

Zhao Mingruo nodded heavily, she believed he would do what he said.

"Then I'll go first." Gu Changxi resumed his usual naughty smile, "The one in our family is very strict with me, I have to go back early, otherwise I will definitely cry with me."

Although he was complaining like this, it was not difficult to see that Gu Changxi was bringing the sweetness and happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He and the third wife fell in love at first sight, and they liked each other so they asked their parents to discuss their marriage. Because of their similar identities, the marriage was a matter of course without any twists and turns.

Although the two quarreled constantly after they got married, their relationship was really good, which made Zhao Mingruo very envious. She was also happy for the third brother when she heard it, and even the smile on her face became much gentler.

"Wait, third brother, second sister-in-law wants to ask you another question."

"You said."
