Chapter 182

The two spent another night in the house. The next morning, Gu Qingzhu woke up quite early. It was already dawn outside, and it was hazy. She hugged Qi Xuan's arm and slept all night. She raised her eyes to Qi Xuan. Her handsome face was closed with her nose, and her nose was straight and high. Qi Xuan's lips looked the best. She smiled like a spring breeze. She could not help but reach out to his lips to gesture. But as soon as her hand reached over, Qi Xuan moved. Gu Qingzhu had no time to stop and touched Qi Xuan's cheek. Qi Xuan curled the corners of her lips and took Gu Qingzhu's handbag into the palm of her hand.

He slowly opened his eyes, met Gu Qingzhu's eyes, stretched out his long arms, hugged Gu Qingzhu in his arms, pressed him on his chest, and said:

"Sleep a little longer."

For the two of them, it took too long to get such a peaceful and beautiful morning, so naturally they can't be wasted.

Gu Qingzhu chuckled in his arms: "I went to bed after dinner yesterday and couldn't sleep anymore."

Qi Xuan kissed her on top of her head and asked, "Get up later and go to see the old lady and father-in-law. Have a breakfast by the way."

Gu Qingzhu remembered that she had been drunk and dreaming about the past few days in the house. She had never returned to the Gu family, which was close to the opposite door, and felt ashamed.

After the two got up and finished washing up, Qi Xuan called out Li Maozhen to deliver the gifts they had prepared to the Gu family one by one. Qi Xuan led Gu Qingzhu and went out of the house. Because it was still early, the door of the Gu family had just opened. Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wang from the doorman were about to come out to sweep the floor with a broom, but the gift team behind Li Maozhen came out of the opposite house one after another. The people in the doorman hurried in to report.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't expect Qi Xuan and Gu Qingzhu to come to the door early in the morning. Over the past few days, he had heard a lot about them and was worried. Seeing the two of them appearing intact, he finally felt relieved.

After Qi Xuan and Gu Qingzhu bowed to Gu Zhiyuan, they sat down and talked to Gu Zhiyuan. What Qi Xuan and Gu Zhiyuan said were nothing more than something that everyone knew. The inside story of the war could not be said. Gu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Qingzhu and asked Gu Qingzhu:

"I heard you're accompanying you too?"

Gu Zhiyuan looked at his daughter who had not seen for half a year and felt mixed feelings. He had never had any good feelings for this daughter in the past. He always felt that she was as strong as her mother Shen, and was aggressive in doing things and speaking. He had to lift up the face of a person before he could stop. He always thought that Qin was a good person, but he didn't expect that Jin Yu was defeated and did too many unethical things on his back. After Gu Zhiyuan was sick, he was scolded by Gu Qingzhu, pointing out all the problems he had been avoiding. Gu Zhiyuan gradually woke up and realized that there was something wrong with his previous thoughts.

Gu Qingzhu glanced at Gu Zhiyuan and nodded: "Yes, I'm going."

With a calm expression, Gu Zhiyuan sighed secretly and said, "You girl's house, you go to a place so far away from the border, it's simply nonsense."

Gu Qingzhu didn't know how to talk to Gu Zhiyuan. Her relationship with Gu Zhiyuan's father and daughter had been exhausted in the previous life. Although he did not oppress her with Qin in the previous life, he turned a blind eye to Qin's series of actions, which made Gu Qingzhu completely forget his identity as a father.

In this life, Qin was mobilized by her to the temple, but Gu Qingzhu didn't feel much unbearable for Gu Zhiyuan. If Chen was not there, she wouldn't even want to go back to the Gu family.

She didn't speak, but just lowered her head to drink tea. Gu Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, but he was helpless. Qi Xuan smoothed out from the side and said, "Qingzhu will be with me, so there will be no problem. Father-in-law doesn't have to worry."

Qi Xuan knew the relationship between Gu Qingzhu and Gu Zhiyuan, the father-daughter relationship. Not to mention Qingzhu, he even had complaints about Gu Zhiyuan. If Gu Zhiyuan had not done anything in the past, pushed Qingzhu to the forefront and let her bear so much wind and rain, Qingzhu would not have been so difficult.

Therefore, even though Gu Zhiyuan seems to have awakened now, Qi Xuan will not say anything for him in front of Qingzhu, and everything is left to Qingzhu himself to consider.

Because of the silence of Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan, they didn't stay here for too long and stood up and said goodbye: "I'll go to my grandmother's place to take a look."

After saying that, the two left the main courtyard, ignored the loneliness on Gu Zhiyuan's face and went to Chen's courtyard.

Chen had already learned that Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan were coming, and knew that they would come to pay their respects to him, so he asked someone to wait for them at the door of the yard. The woman invited the two of them in. As for Chen, Gu Qingzhu didn't look so cold, and ran in from the threshold and threw herself into Chen's arms. Chen hit her shoulder twice:

"You still know how to come back with a heartless girl."

Gu Qingzhu looked up embarrassedly, knowing that he had done something too much, so he admitted that even if he was beaten twice by Chen, fortunately Chen was reluctant to give him a blow: "You said you did such a big thing and you wouldn't send someone to tell me. You don't know how worried I was when I heard people talk about it."

"Grandma, I knew I was wrong. The situation was urgent at that time, and I was in a hurry to follow the rules. Qi Xuan and I didn't even inform us of our mother and left overnight."

Gu Qingzhu explained to Chen that when she decided to leave the capital with Qi Xuan, she really had no intention of telling Chen. First, they were in a hurry to leave, and second, Chen did not understand the political affairs of military strategy, and she might not understand it even if she told her, so she simply took action first and then reported, and made up her mind that after she came back, she would come to Chen to apologize.

"Tell me about you, there is no rules at all." Chen lit Gu Qingzhu's forehead and taught a lesson, then asked Gu Qingzhu to get up and turn around twice to let her see if she was injured or something.

After the explanation, the two were allowed to sit down and talk. Gu Qingzhu rubbed her stomach and said, "Grandma, we both came early and we haven't eaten breakfast yet. We must deal with it with you."

Chen was stunned. Thinking of the time at this time, it was indeed early. He hurriedly called the mother-in-law and the maid to come in and ordered the meal to be served. After a while, the two of them who were deliberately coming to have a meal happily sat on the table and started to have breakfast.

Chen and they were with them, Gu Qingzhu asked her if anything happened in the capital during her time when she was not in the capital. Chen thought of the first thing:

"Three months ago, Yu Yao gave birth to a daughter named Qian'er and He Qian'er. She was white and fat, and she gave birth very much like Yu Yao."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingzhu forgot a little: "Yes, she should have given birth. Are the He family happy?"

I don’t know if Gu Yuyao’s situation is better now. Because of Qin’s affairs, the He family was quite dissatisfied with Gu Yuyao. They returned all the dowry to the Gu family and sent all the companions to the house, so they left Gu Yuyao alone as the second young lady in the He family. However, Duan was very strict with her and specially invited the nanny from the palace to come back to teach Gu Yuyao the rules.

Duan's original intention of doing this is undeniable, but later I heard that she became more and more powerful and had little pity for Gu Yuyao. Before she left Beijing, Gu Yuyao's life was not easy. Now that she has given birth to a child, I don't know if it has been relieved.

After hearing Gu Qingzhu's question, Chen snorted helplessly: "Hmph, happy? It's not necessarily."

The reason why Chen said this shows the attitude of the He family. Chen felt that the Gu family owed the He family for the Qin family, so he just held back Gu Yuyao's situation and did not dare to interfere. At most, he secretly gave Gu Yuyao some money to protect himself. He has always advised Gu Yuyao to live a good life in the He family. Now the He family, which makes Chen family dissatisfied, shows how excessive the He family is.

"How do you say this?"

Gu Qingzhu asked Chen.

Chen glanced at Qi Xuan and wanted to say something, "Forget it, it's nothing, it's all about the He family."

Seeing that Chen was considering her, Qi Xuan drank the porridge in the bowl in big mouthfuls, picked up two buns on the table and said to Chen: "Grandma, I see that the flowers in your yard are blooming very well. I'll go and see them and I'll give us two pots later."

Chen didn't know that Qi Xuan was deliberately giving them convenience, and cooperated and said, "If you like those pots, just ask someone to move them."

Qi Xuan thanked her, looked at Gu Qingzhu, and then decisively went out.

Chen took away all the people serving in the dining room, and sat opposite each other with his grandparents and grandchildren. Chen sighed quietly:

"Oh, your sisters' fates are really different. The prince loves you so much, but Yuyao..."

"He Pingzhou is not good to her?" Gu Qingzhu asked. She had personal experience. Whether a woman is happy or not in her in-laws' family depends on how the man is. No matter what, as long as she is protected by a man, life will never be bad.

"Yu Yao is a miserable mother. She has committed a crime and swallowed her anger in the He family. What kind of life did she live while pregnant? You can see that Duan's woman was moody. At first I thought she was a good person and wanted to correct her problems, but the more she looked, she became less and less decent. Think about it, she was seven or eight months old and let her stand for an hour a day. She didn't treat Yu Yao as a human being. She didn't think about her having a child from the He family in her belly."

Chen said and sighed. She used to think that Qin had taught Yu Yao badly and would suffer in the future, but she never expected that Yu Yao would suffer so much in the future.

Gu Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and thought: "What about the child? Is there no change in the child's birth?"

When Chen mentioned this, he seemed even more angry: "When I mention the child, why do I think that Duan's woman doesn't treat Yu Yao as a human being? No matter what, the child is a piece of meat that comes out of the mother's belly. But Duan is so sad. Less than a month after the child was born, someone took the child away to a concubine of He Pingzhou to raise it. It was called asking Yu Yao to raise her body, but she couldn't see a child all day long. Can Yu Yao, a mother-in-law, raise her body well?"

When Gu Qingzhu heard this, he took a deep breath and remembered that she had seen Gu Yuyao not long before leaving Beijing. At that time, she was very afraid of Duan's family with her belly erect. However, in front of Gu Qingzhu, she always refused to bow her head or show weakness. Even if there was really a problem, she was unwilling to tell her truth, for fear that Gu Qingzhu would laugh at her.
