Gu Mo sent back twenty jars of good wine to the Gu Mansion, as well as a short letterhead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The letter said that he passed through a town famous for its wine, and bought 20 jars of plum wine made by the locals in that town and sent it home.

Gu Mo would often send home some souvenirs from various places he passed by to tell the old lady that he always remembered everything at home in his heart.

At night, the old man took out the letterhead sent back by Gu Mo and looked at it, and sighed heavily after reading it.

"Hey. Fortunately, Mo'er gave my old Gu family a fight, and he was never stumped by the trivial matters of his children's affection. The old man folded the letter again and put it on the table, frowning and pondering.

Madame had already changed into her pajamas, and she walked to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt and sat on the couch, also looking preoccupied.

"I said, sir. After a while, Mrs. said slowly, "Ran'er's matter, I thought about it again and again, we must keep the child in that woman's womb, that is the queen of the Gu family......"

The old man snorted coldly: "This unfilial son actually did such a thing for me!"

"Sir. The lady leaned over, propped herself on the edge of the bed, looked at him and said, "You are calm and calm." In any case, this is a life, and besides, with the blood of the Gu family, we can't ...... it."

"I never thought about it. The old man covered his eyes with his hands, "But, how can my Gu family afford to lose this face! In less than a month, the eldest son has married two rooms in a row!"

Madame rolled her eyes and said, "It's better to take that girl to Gu Mansion to raise the baby first, so that she won't seek death again, and this marriage will be done later...... It is not too dishonorable to marry again in a few months. ”

The old man listened, but did not make a sound.

Then he looked at her with a strange look: "Why don't you feel sorry for Wanyan, that kid has been wronged?

Madame was speechless at first, and then said angrily, "I..... I'm not thinking about the Gu family! It's not for you! Look at what you're saying! It's really ......" After speaking, the lady gave the old man a blank look.

The old man no longer answered, leaned back on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "You go to sleep first." ”

===================================================

Gu Ran was worried that Liu Fengxian would come to the house again to make trouble, and ran to the Red Moon Building every day for three consecutive days, and Gu Wanyan had to be busy in the store alone with the account books.

Last time, she used her own way to draw the accounts on paper to compare the profits and losses of last year for 12 consecutive months, and found that the rise and fall of profits are actually regular.

She thinks it has something to do with the seasons. For example, jade bracelets sell well in some seasons, gemstone rings sell well in some seasons, and gold and silver hairpins sell well in some seasons......

So she decided to go a little further, and if it turned out to be as she had guessed, she could put goods on the shelves in a targeted manner according to the seasons, and the factory also focused on making different jewelry in different seasons. In this way, you can save raw materials in the factory and increase profits.

She had been busy from morning to afternoon that day, and she had almost come to a point. So after Gu Wanyan sorted out her results, she carefully transcribed them on a stack of paper, and took them back to the house, ready to discuss her conjecture with Gu Yan.

Gu Yan has been good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and after he joined the family business at the age of fifteen, the potential of design suddenly exploded, so Gu Yan took the initiative to ask Ying to be responsible for the design of Gu's jewelry and cultivate talents who understand jewelry design.

But as soon as she returned to the mansion, Gu Wanyan heard that a woman had moved in to the mansion this afternoon. The description of the next person is very simple, with slender single phoenix eyes, an erect nose bridge, and a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, named Liu Fengxian.

After listening to this, she chuckled in her heart.

It seems that what Xu Dong said is not wrong, the old man and wife of the Gu family will still be towards Gu Ran fundamentally, and even more towards the bloodline of the Gu family.

It's just that when she heard her subordinates describe it like this, she knew that although Liu Fengxian came, she didn't have a clear identity yet. Gu Wanyan thought to herself, she didn't know what kind of calculation Madame was making.

She asked herself, do you resent Madame, do you resent her for not caring about your feelings?

No, all of this, Gu Wanyan herself could have avoided it, but she didn't.

It's just yourself to blame, everything is your own choice. She sighed, clenched the stack of papers in her hand, and strode into the front yard.

Madame seemed to have been sitting in the front hall for a long time, waiting for Gu Wanyan to come back.

Gu Wanyan cheered herself up in her heart as she walked towards the front hall - no matter what big deal it is, it will be fine, it will be fine.

"Madame-" she greeted with a smile as usual, only to realize that she had called the wrong one, and hurriedly changed her words, "Mother." ”

Madame pretended to look at her angrily, and then waved her hand to come to her side with a smile and anger: "If you shout wrong in the future, you should be beaten!"

"Yes, yes, Wan Yan knew that she was wrong. She stuck out her tongue and smiled, and walked over.

Madame held her hand and sighed deeply: "Wanyan, I know that you feel uncomfortable, why shouldn't I?"

Gu Wanyan tried her best to hide the sourness in her heart, and shook her head vigorously: "Wanyan is fine." ”

"Now, I don't want you to be wronged in every way, but you know the current situation-"

Gu Wanyan knew that Liu Fengxian said that she was pregnant with the heir of the Gu family that day, and what the old lady cared about must be this.

Madam said, and suddenly lowered her voice: "But ah, you just bear with it first, and you have been wronged for a while!"

Gu Wanyan was puzzled, what is it called for a while?

Madame looked left and right, and said, "It's not easy to talk here, come to my room." ”

Gu Wanyan nodded confusedly, and then went to get up with his wife.

When she arrived at Madame's room, she instructed Gu Wanyan to close the door, then sat down and began to explain to her the meaning of Fang Cai's words.

"Wanyan, you are a shrewd child, you should know that your father and I are interested in the child in the woman's womb. ”

Gu Wanyan bit her lip and nodded.

"So I agreed to Ran'er and ordered someone to take Liu Fengxian to live in the house temporarily. Madame paused, looked at Gu Wanyan and said seriously, "When she gives birth to the child, the child will be raised by you." ”

Gu Wanyan was even more puzzled, she tilted her head: "What about Liu Fengxian?"

Madame smiled: "Do you think I will really let Ran Er marry a woman of unknown origin to enter the door, and let you suffer this grievance in the new marriage?"

Gu Wanyan understood now - did Madam plan to drive Liu Fengxian out of the Gu Mansion after she gave birth to her child and leave her to fend for herself, or in the name of protecting Gu Wanyan......

She reacted, and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, no...... Mother, we can't ...... like this."

Madame frowned, and became angry: "Do you want to watch your husband and other women like glue in less than a year after you got married? I see that Ran Er was dazzled by this fox!"

Gu Wanyan shook her head again: "Of course not, I don't want to." But Liu Fengxian will give birth to a child for the Gu family anyway, she is the person Gu Ran loves, if we do this-in short, Wanyan feels that her conscience is not going to go. ”

Madame's face was completely blackened, she didn't expect Gu Wanyan to be stubborn like this, and would rather sacrifice the rest of her life.

Madame didn't speak for a long time, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Okay, you don't care about this matter, I'm in charge of everything." What I tell you today, don't tell anyone else. ”

At the end, he added: "I didn't even tell the master." ”

Gu Wanyan wanted to say something, but she only bit her lip and answered, and left.

The moment she walked out of Madame's room, she was very gloomy.

Now she is simply in a dilemma - let Gu Ran marry Liu Fengxian, she will be unwilling and hold grievances for herself, but if she agrees with what her wife said, she will be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life.

The old lady has already taken Liu Fengxian into the Gu Mansion in front of everyone to raise the baby, which is to tell everyone the importance of the child in this woman's womb in disguise-

Therefore, in the next ten months, the Gu Mansion will definitely not treat Liu Fengxian half a point. This is also the meaning of what Mrs. just pulled Gu Wanyan to say. Mrs. was to remind her in advance and ask her not to pay too much attention to Liu Fengxian.

Then this dinner, meeting is inevitable.

Gu Ran and Liu Fengxian were the last to sit down.

After everyone sat down for a long time, they saw Gu Ran slowly pacing to the table with Liu Fengxian in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would be damaged in the slightest.

Gu Wanyan lowered her head, and sad emotions instantly filled her entire chest-she was Gu Ran's new wife! But now she couldn't do anything, she could only let everything develop in a direction she didn't expect.

The master is the center of the family, and he snorted coldly: "Why are you so unruly, let everyone wait for the two of you!"

Seeing that the old man was angry, the family didn't dare to say anything. Who knew that Liu Fengxian smiled and said: "The master scolded me for not knowing the rules too much, but I was making two dishes in the kitchen just now, so I delayed some time, I must pay attention next time." The old man listened to it and said no more.

"Alright, alright. "Don't go to the kitchen next time, for you can't afford to spoil the baby in your belly—sit down and eat." ”

Liu Fengxian smiled coquettishly, answered yes even again, and then sat down with Gu Ran.

Gu Wanyan sat on the left side of Madame, while Gu Ran sat on Gu Wanyan's left side, and Liu Fengxian sat on Gu Ran's left side.

Gu Ran looked at Gu Wanyan who was sitting next to him a little weakly, and moved his gaze for a moment.

After sitting down, Liu Fengxian deliberately looked at Gu Wanyan and greeted softly: "Sister." ”

Liu Fengxian's crying scoundrel that day was completely gone, and at this time her whole person looked like a competent second room who was knowledgeable and respectful of the main room.

Gu Wanyan didn't expect Liu Fengxian to change her style and sing with a white face, she could only pull the corners of her mouth and smile as a return gift.

The meal was not as embarrassing as imagined, and the old man asked a few children about the trivial things of the day as usual.

After asking, the master's eyes turned to Liu Fengxian: "What do you do at home?"

Liu Fengxian hurriedly put down her chopsticks, glanced at Gu Ran and replied: "Back to the master, my mother opened a gallery in Qingzhou, and my father has passed away a long time ago, so I usually help my mother in the gallery or something." ”

The old man nodded, and seemed to be quite satisfied with this answer.

Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Gu Wanyan couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she only lowered her head and chewed the food—the taste was the same as chewing wax.

At the end of dinner, the lady instructed Gu Wanyan: "Wanyan, you are also a relative now, so don't have any dealings with the hall master of Yunji Hall in the future, it's not good to say." Then she deliberately looked at Gu Ran and said, "Accompany Ran'er more, the wedding season is important." ”

Gu Wanyan should be good, Gu Ran smiled at Gu Wanyan.

Liu Fengxian actually echoed the smile - but there was clearly a trace of resentment in her eyes.

The intention of what Madame said at the end was obvious, of course, she was warning Liu Fengxian to have self-knowledge and not to gain an inch, and then to find some face for Gu Wanyan.

Gu Wanyan had to share a room with Gu Ran, if she had been sleeping in her own West Garden, it would not be a long-term solution.

But what should she do? After all, she is also Gu Ran's wife, she can't be a husband and wife who doesn't match Gu Ran's name for the rest of her life. But my heart has been blocked, and there is a voice in my heart telling me, don't-

This night, she and Gu Ran were alone in the room again.

Gu Ran stepped down from the people, personally filled a wooden bucket of foot washing water for Gu Wanyan, and helped her prepare a clean towel to wipe her face.

This posture really made Gu Wanyan stunned when she entered the door.

She looked at it coldly and said slowly, "What are you doing?" ”

Gu Ran said while adding hot water to the wooden barrel: "Come over and scald your hot feet, don't be cold." ”

Gu Wanyan stood in place, not crying, not laughing, not angry.

Gu Ran stopped the movement in his hand, straightened up and looked at her fixedly: "Wanyan, I said, I want to be good to you, and I will do what I say." ”

Gu Wanyan remembered the scene at today's dinner table, and said in her heart, "You don't have to be one person in front of you and one person in the back, I really don't need it." ”

Gu Ran was a little sorry, he slowly walked up to Gu Wanyan: "Wanyan, she is pregnant now, I hope you can understand-and, Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian is actually not bad-eyed, I said that I can't accompany her today, and she also asked me to accompany you well!"

Gu Wanyan was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Ran was in this moment when Gu Wanyan was distracted and silent, gently took her hand, led her to the side of the bed and sat down with her. Immediately afterwards, he squatted down to help Gu Wanyan take off her shoes and socks, and gently put her two white jade feet into the foot-washing water in the wooden barrel before standing up.

The whole process was silent, Gu Wanyan's eyes were hollow, there was no refusal, no squeak.

After a while, her tears inexplicably began to fall down.

Gu Ran was at a loss all of a sudden, squatted down to look at her, and helped her wipe away the continuous strings of tears: "Wanyan...... Wanyan, what's wrong with you..... I'm sorry Wanyan, what did I do wrong? Don't cry, don't cry......"

Gu Wanyan didn't know why she suddenly shed tears - maybe she was too depressed in her heart, these days, she has only exposed her vulnerability to Xu Dong on the surface, and she looks like she should be in the face of others.

Who knows the grievances in her heart?

"You...... Don't be nice to me......" She cried harder and harder, choking up, "If I get used to it, I'll be afraid of losing, I'd rather have nothing ......at all."

Gu Ran pursed the corners of her mouth and silently helped her wipe her tears.

"Why do you want to do this to me? I've started to like you, I've started to look forward to our future, why do I have to start living a depressing life before I even experience happiness? Are you afraid that Liu Fengxian will be sad, but what about me? Aren't you afraid that I will be sad?"

Gu Wanyan cried more and more fiercely, as if she had lost her mind, and poured out all the bitter water in her heart at once.

Gu Ran's mind was blank, he didn't expect Gu Wanyan to suppress himself so much, as a man, he suddenly felt very useless: "I'm sorry...... I'm going to be good to you, I'm going to be good to you......"

I will definitely be good to you.

It's the same phrase every time.

But what is the use of this sentence?

You have deprived me of my right to love, you have deprived me of a faithful marriage-

What's the use of being good to me?
