Chapter 261: Ice Release Suspicion
"Ma'am, girlβ"
A sudden voice interrupted the silence in the room, Xie Shi and Gu Yanling turned their heads to look, only to see Mama Xu quietly walk in and say, "The third wife and the fourth girl are here." β
Xie Shi glanced at the girl beside him, then nodded and said, "Please come in." β
As soon as the words fell, Mama Xu walked out respectfully, and then there was the sound of footsteps in the ropes, and I saw a simple and quiet woman walking in with a gentle and obedient girl.
"Sister-in-lawβ"
"Auntie, eldest sister. β
Gu Yanling got up and left the soft collapse, and politely bowed to the woman: "Third aunt." β
Seeing this, the third wife, Qin, was busy helping the girl up, but the moment she touched the girl, she was embarrassed to put her hand away, and for a while, her hand was there, which seemed a little abrupt.
Gu Yanling then looked over, and when he saw the pair of dark, slightly calloused hands between his fingers, he seemed to understand something.
"Take a seat. β
Under Xie's orders, Mama Xu hurriedly ordered someone to move the brocade in, Xie pondered that the Qin family must have something to say this time, so she ordered Mama Xu to stay all the people, and the house fell into tranquility again, leaving only four people.
"My brother and daughter-in-law came with my sister, yes-"
Before the words were finished, the Qin clan got up, and Gu Yanchao behind him also got up, and the mother and daughter knelt down without hesitation.
"Brother and sister, why is this?"
In fact, when the Qin family knelt down sincerely, the Xie family probably understood the meaning, but when she motioned for Gu Yanling to help, the Qin family politely refused, but raised his head gratefully, his eyes were full of seriousness.
"In the past, it was the younger sister-in-law who was shallow, and it was not good to look for the elder sister many times, but also by the provocation of the second room, and the heart was not satisfied with the sister-in-law, fighting for power and profit, the younger brother and daughter-in-law now have to apologize to the sister-in-law and the elder sister, in the past, it was not good for the younger sister-in-law, although I don't know if the sister-in-law can forgive, this apology is unavoidable. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin family carried Gu Yan and kowtowed, Xie didn't say anything anymore, only to see that when the Qin family got up again, he looked at the Xie family in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little more grateful and grateful.
"Even if the younger brother and daughter-in-law act like this, the sister-in-law and the elder sister ignore the previous suspicions, and take care of the elder sister many times in the years when the daughter-in-law has made mistakes and realized the self-consciousness, not only that, but also willing to let the elder sister be a praiser for the elder sister's courtesy, and the younger brother and daughter-in-law were even more because of the intercession of the elder sister, so they were able to be exempted from punishment early. β
Seeing that the Qin clan took Gu Yan to kowtow again, the Xie clan rarely moved, got up personally, stepped forward to support the Qin clan and said, "It's over, it's over." β
A sentence, although it was bland, caused Qin's tears to roll, and he couldn't stop flowing.
In the past three years, she has repented too much, repeating the days of fasting, chanting scriptures, and copying books every day, from the initial anger and unwillingness, gradually turned into fear, and finally fell into despair, but gradually, she found that peace from despair.
She never thought that in the days when she left, Dafang did not bother Sister Chao'er, and as for her, it was originally not until the end of the year that she was punished for three years, but it was only because Sister Ling was able to make the old lady issue an order in advance on the grounds of the wedding.
The moment she came out, she finally saw the scenery beyond that side of the world, and three years of time were like a thousand years.
Everything has changed, the second room is gone, and the third room is already the housekeeper of Aunt Yue, who gave birth to a son, and when the person she once hated came to her to give her a concubine and hand over the steward token, she gave up, because it seemed that she had figured everything out in the past three years.
In the past, she was to blame, whether it was power or profit, it was just something outside her body, it was she who was obsessed with these, forced herself hard, and forced her husband to come to the point where the husband and wife almost broke up.
Now she doesn't want to live the same life as before, but she still sees Aunt Yue taking care of everything, still eating her fast every day, reciting her scriptures, as long as her husband no longer hates her, as long as her daughter is safe by her side, what does it matter?
At this moment, Xie and Gu Yanling looked through the light and looked at the Qin family in front of them, who was obviously just over thirty, but they had already worn away all the sharp edges and corners of the past, and had become an ordinary woman who was bent on the Tao, did not seek rights, and only sought to be well, it can be seen that in the past three years, it has indeed changed too much.
And so, that's fine.
β¦β¦
When Gu Yanling and Gu Yanchao walked quietly under the corridor for the first time, looking at the beautiful moonlight outside the corridor, and listening to the faint sound of insects around them, this moment was a rare beauty.
"Thank you for the ceremony. β
Listening to the soft and gentle words from the girl beside her, Gu Yanling tilted her head slightly, sometimes feeling a little abrupt, because now Gu Yanchao has completely replaced the previous wanton appearance, but she doesn't know whether this is good or bad.
"It's okay, that day with you, it was so smooth. β
Gu Yanchao tilted his head when he heard this, and just met Gu Yanling's quiet eyes, and for a while, the four eyes looked at each other, and gradually, Gu Yanchao's eyes floated an undisguised smile, that kind of smile was just a sister, not an enemy.
The next moment, Gu Yanling also smiled faintly, it seemed that in an instant, under such a beautiful moonlight, the two girls released all their previous suspicions, and all the bad past was like the cold ice under the spring sun, gradually melting and dissipating.
Compared with Gu Yanjin, Gu Yanchao knew that he was lucky.
Her parents are still there, her reputation has not been ruined, and because she has become a praiser of Gu Yanling's ceremony, that day she showed the true demeanor of the Gu family's concubine in front of everyone, she has completely abandoned the ignorance, ridiculous, and claws of the past, but she has to be ridiculed.
From that day on, she told herself that it was time to live again.
Everyone's life is limited, and it is not easy for her to regret it and have the opportunity to start over.
She didn't want to live up to it again.
And she also knows very well that this opportunity was given to her by Gu Yanling.
At that moment, she really understood why Gu Yanling was so dazzling, and it was at that moment that she really wanted to shout.
"Eldest sister. β
Hearing Gu Yanchao's heartfelt voice, Gu Yanling lowered his eyes, and then looked up at the bright moon, and his eyes were a little more peaceful.
In this life, it is gradually moving towards consummation.
When Gu Yanling returned to the Liuli Courtyard, as soon as he lifted the soft curtain, he saw Gu Zihan waiting in the house, and immediately said with a happy brow: "Brother." β
Gu Zihan, who was originally looking at the girl's handwriting with his back to him, turned around when he heard the voice, looked at the girl who entered the door, and said with a doting smile on the corner of his lips: "You are back." β
Gu Yanling walked in with a smile, but Gu Zihan pointed to the words practiced by the girl and said, "Your words are the same as your chess, and they are getting more and more beneficial." β
When the brother and sister sat down, they saw Gu Zihan's dark and healthy skin through the light under the lamp, but in just a few days, Gu Zihan had changed from a well-mannered son of a family to a resolute man on the battlefield.
The frontier is indeed a place to temper people.
"It's good that this truce is coming, otherwise if I can't attend your wedding, I won't even be able to forgive myself. β
Hearing Gu Zihan say this, Gu Yanling took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "No, you have to carry me all the way tomorrow, don't think about hiding." β
Seeing the cunning flashing in the girl's eyes, Gu Zihan couldn't help laughing, looking at this appearance, Gu Yanling suddenly asked: "This truce, when will I go to Liaodong again." β
Gu Zihan thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It should be July or August." β
The girl nodded seriously when she heard this, and then said to herself: "That's enough to find a sister-in-law for me." β
Gu Zihan was stunned when he heard this, looking at the girl's joking appearance, the original dark skin gradually became a little more dizzy, and he couldn't help coughing: "You just take care of yourself." β
Speaking of this, Gu Zihan turned his head, leaned in slightly, and said seriously, almost without letting go of the girl's expression: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is good to you?"
Seeing Gu Zihan like this, he frightened Gu Yanling, and when he saw the unconcealable concern in Gu Zihan's eyes, his heart warmed slightly, and he blurted out almost without hesitation: "Okay, very good." β
Seeing that the girl did not have a trace of concealment and hesitation, Gu Zihan was also relieved, and then lowered his gaze and said: "That's good, don't wronged yourself for the sake of others." β
Gu Yanling knew that Gu Zihan was worried that he was just for the marriage of the family, so his tone was a little softer and said, "Brother, don't worry." β
Gu Zihan looked at the girl who had grown up in front of her, thinking that her closest sister had gone to someone's house, she only felt a little depressed in her heart, but it was only for a moment, so she looked at the girl fixedly, and said very firmly: "Remember, don't wronged yourself, my brother can also protect you." β
Almost at the same time, Gu Yanling smiled movingly, but nodded and said more seriously: "On the battlefield, my brother must protect himself, Ah Jiu and his family are waiting for you in Jingling." β
"Good. β
Seeing Gu Zihan's comforting smile, a warm current gradually overflowed from Gu Yanling's heart.
In this life, she also wants to protect her fourth uncle, protect her eldest brother, and die safely.
