Rudonghai

Chapter 168
Xiao Xilin narrowed her eyes, and Wen Ruqi's eyes blurred immediately, revealing an obsessive look: "I don't know about this, and I have already signed a marriage letter, and I will marry the third girl of the Gu family soon. To express my apology, Miss Wen can make other requests as a As compensation, I will send someone to send Miss Wen back to Luoshui personally."

Hearing that he not only refused to agree, but also wanted to send herself back, Wen Ruqi's eyes turned red immediately: "If I don't go back, even if I go back, there will be no place for me to stand."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou walked in directly with Gu Yunxiao, and she looked at Wen Ruqi, whose face was almost similar to that of her biological mother.Just looking at it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Wen Ruqi showed panic, and quickly calmed down and saluted, "I've seen Madam, I've seen Sister Gu."

Gu Yunxiao looked at her without much surprise, as she really knew who she was.

So the encounter at Baiyun Temple was not accidental at all.

Xiao Xilin got up and greeted Mrs. Zhen Guohou to the seat: "Why is aunt here?"

Madam Zhen Guohou glared at him angrily, and said in a low voice: "If I don't come again, there will be another vixen in the mansion? Don't think that you can bully the third girl because she has no temper. There is a full moment before and after." It's been an hour, and you haven't sent him away yet, do you want to stay?"

Xiao Xilin was really wronged, looked at Gu Yunxiao and said: "It's really Miss Wen who brought the letter written by her mother and the old lady. It's so convincing, I can't just drive him out of the house."

If he said something that shouldn't be said and ruined his marriage with Gu Yunxiao, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

Mrs. Zhen Guohou snorted coldly: "Handwritten letter? Bring it for me to see!"

Compared with Xiao Xilin, she was more familiar with the handwriting of her sister-in-law and the old lady. After looking carefully, it was not copied, but written by the two of them.

It's just that my sister's letter is just a reply to the other party's mention of this matter, euphemistically pointing out that the children are still young, and the future matters will still be decided by the children themselves.

As for the old lady's letter, isn't it just a few perfunctory words and nothing left?
Putting down the letterhead, Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled and said, "Girl Wen came all the way. She wants to eat and play in Beijing. Come here as soon as possible before returning to Luoshui. If you don't want to go back, find another one here." It is not difficult to be a half-time husband and son-in-law, and I can guarantee it for you. However, this nephew of mine has sworn to only marry wives and not take concubines, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the expectations of my elders."

The more Wen Ruqi listened, the more the light in her eyes dimmed.She didn't expect to come here from thousands of miles away, and she was thinking about her future husband and son-in-law. When they met, she felt that her heart fell on Xiao Xilin.

She had never seen such a good-looking man, just sitting was already pleasing to the eye, making it impossible to move one's eyes away.

It's a pity that the person Xiao Xilin wants to marry is not herself.

Wen Ruqi looked at Gu Yunxiao, her eyes filled with sadness: "I didn't expect Sister Gu to be Taifu Xiao's future wife, it was my younger sister who disrespected me before."

Gu Yunxiao didn't know what to say, so he could only smile wryly.Seeing her sad appearance, she was deeply shocked, and it didn't seem like she met her in the temple on purpose.

She turned to Mrs. Zhen Guohou for help, and the latter was also a little surprised that Wen Ruqi gave up just like that?

This girl didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily, and was just waiting for her next words.

Sure enough, Wen Ruqi blinked, and tears rolled down her eyes: "Actually, my sister also has something hard to tell. Dad was framed in Luoshui, and now he is in prison. Mother washes her face with tears every day, and going around can only save Dad from some flesh and blood pain." It hurts. My mother really has no choice but to rely on the kindness of the Marquis Mansion and send me to Beijing. Firstly, I can avoid being involved, and secondly, I can settle down in Beijing, which is better than living in panic every day in Luoshui. Thirdly, Because of my father's affairs, my sister can't find a suitable family to marry in Luoshui..."

In this way, she would venture to Beijing just to take a gamble.

Gu Yunxiao sighed when he heard it, it seemed that Wen Ruqi's return to Luoshui had to be put on hold for the time being.

No matter how hard-hearted Mrs. Zhen Guohou is, she will not make it difficult for a little girl to go back to Luoshui and live in dire straits.

"I don't expect to marry Mrs. Xiao either, as long as I stay in the mansion and serve my lord. I'm even willing to be an ox or a horse, and obey Sister Gu's orders. I just hope that Sister will not drive me back to Luoshui " At the end, Wen Ruqi burst into tears, crying until the pear blossoms were raining.

Madam Zhen Guohou winked and stopped Gu Yunxiao from speaking: "You are also a poor girl, I'm afraid it won't work if you just send it back like this. But Xiao's mansion doesn't have any female relatives, so it's even more unsuitable for you to stay, it's not bad If you lose Qingyu, your mother will blame me later."

"In that case, Miss Wen simply lives in the Hou's Mansion. Don't say anything about serving in front of the third girl, let alone being a cow or a horse. Those who come are guests. You can live in the Hou's Mansion with peace of mind. The Hou's Mansion is not bad. If you have money, you can’t keep a mouth.”

Mrs. Zhen Guohou was the first to ask Xueyan to send the weeping Wen Ruqi and her maid directly to Zhen Guohou's mansion from the small gate, especially the courtyard which was the farthest from Xiangzhu Garden.

Xueyan took the order and took her away, and she was relieved: "This girl can only cry, crying makes me flustered, and those who don't know think that I have bullied her."

Gu Yunxiao brought hot tea to Mrs. Zhen Guohou, and sat down under her: "Madam is kind-hearted, she can't see people suffering."

"I can't see suffering. I'm worried that she will pester Lin'er and make the third girl unhappy. Otherwise, how could she take such a troublesome girl into her body?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou sighed, and said helplessly: "This girl looks It's not a good stubble, it's full of nonsense, especially very cold."

Seeing that Gu Yunxiao was puzzled, she shook her head and said, "Think about it, if the third girl has a very good relationship with her father, and she is the only daughter in the family. Now that the family is undergoing changes, and the father is locked in a cell, don't you just worry about it day and night? Going to see it every day, can you send food and clothes? But look, when she mentioned that her father was framed, her tone was not the slightest bit angry. Later, she only emphasized that her biological father ruined her reputation, making her unable to marry in Luoshui, so she had to run to Come to Beijing."

Xiao Xilin also heard it, and then said: "My father doesn't care about life or death, and he left his biological mother in Luoshui. A weak girl has to run around, endure the panic of losing her husband, and has to spare money for Miss Wen. Come to Beijing."

Mrs. Zhen Guohou nodded: "That's the reason. My father hasn't been rescued from the prison yet. Obviously, it's not enough. The emperor is far away from the mountains, and those officials don't have much monthly money. They all point to this place to make a fortune. It is estimated that the Wen family Husband-in-law is a capital offence, and he doesn't know what he committed. Whether he was framed or not is unknown. Sending his daughter up at such a critical time may be a gamble. Bundle."

Speaking of this, she sneered again: "It's a pity that the surname Wen overestimated her daughter. As soon as she went to Beijing and saw Lin'er, she left her parents behind and only thought about squeezing into Xiao's mansion. I don't care about the life or death of parents. Look, I was sitting here just now, and if girl Wen wanted to ask me for help, she would have already asked, why would she keep staring at Lin'er without saying a word?"

Gu Yunxiao pursed her lips, but she put on a mask, and Mrs. Zhen Guohou could see Wen Ruqi's temperament clearly, and she still had something to learn.

Few of the people I met over the years were good, but unfortunately I didn't see clearly and suffered a lot.

"Three girls, just remember, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and you should keep it under your nose when you deal with such a girl. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guard against it if you put it outside." Otherwise, Mrs. Zhen Guohou would not be kind enough to take Wen Ruqi over. Going to the Hou's mansion, isn't this embarrassing yourself?

Knowing that everything she did was for herself, Gu Yunxiao smiled gratefully: "Madam is kind and treats girls very well."

Madam Zhen Guohou patted her on the back of her hand and said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, then get married and give birth to a bunch of children for Lin'er. The Wen family and the Xiao family have always been thin, especially the Xiao family. Lin'er is left alone. This mansion is also very deserted, if I don't come here on weekdays, it will be lifeless, as if no one lives there."

Gu Yunxiao lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to answer.

Xiao Xilin replied calmly: "Don't worry, Auntie, the house will only become more and more lively in the future."

Mrs. Zhen Guohou glared at him angrily: "It's good if the children are lively. If the backyard is so lively that it burns, some of you will have a headache."

"Of course not. Only marrying wives and not taking concubines. What my aunt said is exactly what I want to say." Xiao Xilin didn't think there was anything wrong with being a couple for a lifetime. Gu Yunxiao was the only one who had been pleasing to the eye for so many years. He believed that he would never fall in love with anyone again.

"I didn't expect to see each other after a few days. Lin'er, a boring gourd, knows how to talk about love. It makes my ears go soft." Madam Zhen Guohou couldn't wait to go back and whisper to her husband. Will be so gentle, if you really have a sweetheart, using softness to overcome rigidity, will it be different?

Gu Yunxiao was teased by her so that her head lowered lower and lower, and finally almost pressed against her chest.

Now that Xiao Xilin opened her mouth, she even wanted to dig a hole to hide in.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou wondered in her heart that Gu Yunxiao would not be enough to have two children, three or four?
She looked at Gu Yunxiao again, and couldn't help but pity her: "You girl is still too thin, no matter how much you feed her, you won't be strong enough. After all, giving birth to a woman is like going through the gate of hell, and you have to work hard..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yunxiao had already stood up, and ran away blushing while holding up his skirt.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou was stunned, and quickly laughed: "Look carefully ahead, don't fall. Lin'er quickly follow, this girl is too shy."

Xiao Xilin didn't need her to remind, and quickly followed, for fear that Gu Yunxiao would panic and fall.

Gu Yunxiao was out of breath after not running far, and it took a while to catch her breath. Turning around, she saw Xiao Xilin smiling at herself, her cheeks flushed red again.

"Don't go back in a hurry, girl, talk to me?" He stood still in front of Gu Yunxiao, passed her and looked at the small door in the backyard: "This door was supposed to be closed in a few days. It doesn’t matter if the girl gets married and reopens. It’s just that this small door will be closed today, and before we get married, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see each other more.”
