Chapter 571
"this……"
"Mom, for some reason, the person who sent the message back then misreported the information. In any case, this is all wrong for us to be our son and daughter-in-law. We have not fulfilled our filial piety for so many years, and we are already extremely ashamed. Now our husband is the prefect of Suizhou and the parents of Suizhou. We must set an example."
Zhao Wanting understands it with reason and moves it with emotion.
"Since you have found you, you will not take you back to the mansion to fulfill your filial piety. How do the people of Suizhou Prefecture view him? And how can the censors in the court impeach him!"
"So you came to pick me up?" asked Mrs. Gu.
Zhao Wanting nodded, "That's right. My husband means that too. But I thought that he was busy with official business, so I brought the children first. I did come to pick up my mother, but I will definitely come when my husband goes to the yamen. My mother can pack up her things first, and when my husband comes, we can leave together."
Zhao Wanting even reserved the time to pack her luggage for Mrs. Gu.
Her words looked gentle and gentle, but in fact they were all taken away by her, and they were irresistible.
Before the confrontation was over, Mrs. Gu had already noticed the power of this daughter-in-law.
But she has lived for so much of her life, done so much hard work, and ate so much salt, so naturally she can't lead her nose.
"I know all your feelings, but I'm used to living in this Shili Village. I guess you just arrived at Gu's Mansion yesterday and came to see me again today. Things in Gu's Mansion have not yet been settled."
"I--"
"Listen to me." Mrs. Gu did not give her a chance to speak at all and continued to preach, "Xi'er thought I was dead and was still filial. Now I suddenly appeared. As the imperial official, Xi'er naturally had to give the court and the people an explanation. This would definitely take time. If I just followed you back like this, it would be a secretive thing. I'd better wait for Xi'er to come."
surreptitiously?
Zhao Wanting frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Gu, feeling unhappy.
She came to pick them up in person and still called them secretly? Could it be that she still wanted to beat drums and gongs and grand show?
But as her daughter-in-law, she was not easy to argue. After thinking about it, she just nodded.
"Then let's discuss it when your husband comes."
"You haven't had lunch yet, Zhao'er, let Tianranju serve the meal, we'll go there right away." Mrs. Gu ordered.
"Okay." Shen Zhao left.
Zhao Wanting saw her daughter's eyes following Shen Zhao's back and couldn't help asking: "Mom, that child is..."
"Oh, he is my godson, and this is Qiaoer, my granddaughter."
"Granddaughter?" Gu Yue frowned, and the hostility in her eyes became even heavier.
Zhao Wanting quickly smiled and said, "This is Mei Gu's daughter Qiao girl, she looks so beautiful."
Zhao Wanting only mentioned that Gu Qiao was the daughter of Mei, but did not say that she was the granddaughter of Gu Pozi, and she seemed to have abandoned the relationship between Gu Qiao and the Gu family.
Gu Pozi and Gu Qiao naturally heard it, but they didn’t know if it was Zhao Wanting’s intention, or if Gu Xi did not confess to her and mentioned Gu Qiao’s identity?
Gu Qiao suppressed his doubts, then stepped forward and bowed slightly, shouting, "Hello, Madam."
When Zhao Wanting saw her quiet eyebrows and thought of Mei's appearance just now, she was secretly surprised.
Isn’t this a little girl who grew up in the countryside? She doesn’t even talk like a vulgar farm girl?
"Mom, I'm so hungry, let's go to have a meal." Gu Yue stepped forward and pulled Zhao Wanting's clothes, a little impatient.
She didn't understand, just recognize her grandma, but what are you talking nonsense with other people here?
Anyway, the farmer's wife has divorced her father and has nothing to do with her father anymore. Her mother is the only Mrs. Gu. Why do you still have to be kind to them? Everyone has different identities?
She just felt that she couldn't stay in this villa for a moment. Every inch of land here seemed to exude the smell of earthen buns, not to mention the people here.
Zhao Wanting naturally saw the impatience of her eldest daughter, quickly glanced at her, then smiled and held Gu Pozi's arm and said, "Mom, I heard that Shilizhuang is very famous. Can I take the children around with me?"
"Of course, but I've just returned from the city and I still have something to deal with. In this way, I'll let the white manager take you there." Mrs. Gu preached.
"I'll make arrangements." Gu Qiao said on his own initiative, then turned around and left.
Seeing Gu Qiao as if he was in charge of the family, Zhao Wanting couldn't help but praise: "This girl is just a little older than Yue'er, but she looks like she is a sensible and capable person."
Mrs. Gu and Yourong Yan smiled and continued, "That's natural. This Shili Village was created by Qiaoer."
"What?" Zhao Wanting was really surprised this time.
"I said, Qiaoer is the owner of this Shilizhuang." said Mrs. Gu.
The reason why they made this clear as soon as they met was that they didn’t want Zhao Wanting and the others to have any inappropriate thoughts about Shilizhuang.
Mei Gu and Xi'er are things she cannot stop, but she absolutely does not allow others to covet things that originally belonged to Mei Gu and Qiao'er.
Zhao Wanting is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, but she doesn't like such a small farm, but she is concerned about Mrs. Gu in her heart.
It seems that her mother-in-law loves Mei and Gu Qiaoer very much.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. After all, the three of them lived together for so many years, just like her husband has no feelings for the Mei family now, and it is understandable that Mrs. Gu is not very close to her.
Soon, Gu Qiao called Bai Guanshi, who immediately took Zhao Wanting and his servants to Tianranju, and introduced the scenery of Shilizhuang along the way.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Qiao were finally able to return to the yard.
"Where is Aunt Mei?" Mrs. Gu asked hurriedly.
Wu Xiulan replied: "Embroidery in the house."
Mrs. Gu hurriedly walked in, and then saw Mei and Shen Wan sitting together. The two of them were holding embroidered bands, as if nothing had happened outside.
"Mi Gu, I feel wronged." Mrs. Gu looked at her and preached.
Hearing this sentence, Mei Gu didn't hold the needle firmly and suddenly pricked it on her fingers, and the silk on the embroidery band was dyed red.
"Godmother." Shen Wan quickly took away the embroidery bandage in her hand.
"It's okay." Mei pressed the wound on her own, then looked up and replied to Mrs. Gu, "Mom, I and Brother Xi have divorced each other, and everything has nothing to do with me. Today, Mrs. Gu came here just to be a guest. Thank you, for taking into account my feelings, she did not serve in the yard, but went to Tianranju."
When I set up a meal in the yard, I accepted Zhao Wanting and regarded them as family members; when I went to Tianranju, I was treating guests to dinner, and Zhao Wanting and her party were guests.
