Chapter Eighty-Seven: Love Without Realizing It
Doudou is Gu Xi's daughter, and the fact that he is Gu Chao's heart is very uncomfortable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even her most beloved daughter and noble son-in-law, she didn't have the heart to entertain her.
What had happened in the past eight years or so kept coming back to her mind.
After learning that Yuan Zheng adopted a little girl who was exactly like herself, she had doubts and anger in her heart, and the couple didn't know how many times they had quarreled.
After the quarrel, she became more and more reluctant to see Yuan'er, and at the beginning, she was always called a wild girl and a wild child.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be her own niece.
If the person in Yuan Zheng's heart was not Gu Xi, or if she didn't know about this matter, she might not think about it.
It's a pity that she obviously knew that Yuan Zheng liked Gu Xi more than 20 years ago.
So, did Yuan Zheng know Yuan'er's background more than eight years ago before he was willing to adopt her, or did he only learn about her background after adopting her?
The answer is self-explanatory.
According to his love for Yuan'er, it is obviously the former.
No matter how conceited she Gu Chao was, she didn't dare to think that Yuan Zheng was adopting her niece for the sake of her face.
She was his wife, the only woman, but apparently did not have that much face with him.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Yuan Zheng is willing to adopt Yuan'er and take care of her so much is because of Gu Xi.
Once, she thought she didn't care.
Because she doesn't love him, there are other men in her heart, and he doesn't love her, and she also pretends to be other women in her heart, which seems very fair.
She felt that she had nothing to be sorry for, anyway, the two of them just lived together.
It was only then that she realized that she cared.
It should be said that I have been caring for a long time, not just caring, but falling in love with Yuanzheng.
Otherwise, how could she have a lot of trouble with Yuan Zheng because of a five or six-year-old girl?
For people like them, raising more girls is like playing, without the slightest burden.
Otherwise, how could she be so unhappy because her mother-in-law wanted to give Yuan a concubine?
You must know that when Yu Wenhao was still the prince, there were already several beauties around him.
At that time, she liked Yu Wenhao so much, but she didn't care about those beauties.
Now that I think about it, the beauty around Yu Wenhao is the same as the concubine next to Yuan Zheng, they are just some things.
It's the same thing, but I'm so concerned about Yuan Zheng, isn't it love?
It's just that......
She and Gu Xi are now both about to become grandmothers, what's the point of caring about these questions of love or not?
Until Yuan Zheng left Chunhui Hall with the four young people, Gu Chaowu was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself.
The old lady knew as soon as she looked stupid that she was drilling again.
She was going to take a lunch break for a while, so she simply sat down next to Gu Chao and said softly, "What are you doing awkwardly?" ”
Gu Chao came to his senses and felt that his thoughts were really boring, so he pulled his lips slightly and said, "I didn't think about anything, I just think that things in the world are really magical, my sister's daughter actually grew up next to me." ”
The old lady smiled faintly, her daughter-in-law was an elm pimple, and her words were too subtle to not saying anything, so she simply said directly: "Ah Chao, have you finally realized the benefits of Zheng'er?" ”
Gu Chaoqiao's face blushed slightly and said, "What did my mother say, I'm a handful of people...... old."
I know what I'm still awkward about my age!
The old lady glanced at her angrily: "Isn't Zheng'er by your side, why are you nervous?" ”
Gu Chao muttered: "Others are by my side, who knows where my heart is." ”
The old lady couldn't help poking two fingers on her head: "I told you a few years ago, don't think about those things of love and love all day long, it's the right thing to live a down-to-earth life!" ”
Gu Chao frowned and said, "But without those loves, loves, isn't life tasteless!" ”
The old lady said: "I think you are idle!" What woman of your age lives as leisurely as you? Our family has a simple population, and Zheng'er is dedicated to official business, no matter how big or small the children are, you don't want to worry about it, you can't help but always want to toss something! ”
Gu Chao pouted, I don't want to be idle, but you're not happy to leave things to me, aren't you?
The old lady smiled: "I used to think that you were not reliable, but you did a good job of getting a dowry for Xiang'er last year." ”
Gu Chao's thoughts were simple, and when he heard his mother-in-law praise him, his face quickly became colorful.
Xiang'er's dowry, not to mention that compared with the girls with the same family background, it is also one of the best among the four princesses and concubines who have been married.
Concubine Jiang Shufei and His Royal Highness are so satisfied with Xiang'er, and thinking about this is also one of the reasons.
It's been almost 20 years since she married into the Yuan family, and this is the first time that her mother-in-law has seriously praised her, how can she be unhappy?
The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched slightly, the elm pimple at the tip of the horn was not pleasing, and the elm pimple was even more sad!
She took a sip of tea and said: "Since you can do things, don't be idle, Sister Yuan can talk in time, and then she will get married, I am old and energy-weak, and I will lose my dowry, you come to give me a hand." ”
Where is the old lady losing her age, because she feels that Gu Chao has treated Yuan'er a little coldly over the years, and she took the opportunity of the dowry to make up for the relationship between the two.
Gu Chao was silent for a while before he said: "My sister and brother-in-law will definitely take Yuan'er back to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and our dowry will be handled by us, isn't it ......?"
It's not that she is reluctant to give up those good things, after all, the old lady said a few years ago that all the dowries of her second granddaughter will be paid by her.
It's just that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has three candidates, and the only concubine of Wu Ninghou and Miss Gu Er is married, but the dowry is hosted by the second room of the Jingnan Marquis Mansion, is it a bit out of place?
The old lady rolled her eyelids and said: "When will Sister Yuan also be a girl from my Yuan family, you let go of your hands and do it, just say to the old body if you have anything missing!" ”
Gu Chao nodded and agreed.
Yuan'er wants to be the little princess, of course the dowry can't be sour, she also pointed to this girl to gain a firm foothold in the Huo family, so that she can pull Xiang'er and the Fourth Highness in the future!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking happily, and the people spread the word that Yuan Hui's carriage had arrived at the gate of the house.
The old lady hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Yuan Zheng, and asked Mother Wu to brush her sideburns again.
Gu Chao pouted, the old lady is quite fond of teasing!
None of them expected that not long after Yuan Hui's family entered the mansion, Pei Tingyan and Gu Xi's carriage also arrived.
Lao Weiyuan told Pei Tingyan and his wife to take Doudou back to the house, and the two of them set off without even bothering about eating well.
Although the Weiyuan Hou Mansion and the Jingnan Hou Mansion are both in the east of the city, the Weiyuan Hou Hutong and the Kushui Hutong are not in the same direction.
The couple took a few attendants with them and set off in a carriage.
Gu Xi has wanted to be with her daughter all day since she met Doudou, and it goes without saying how urgent she is on the way to Jingnan Hou's Mansion.
Pei Tingyan was a little depressed.
God just plays tricks on people, why didn't he let him know that it was his daughter before he offended Yuan Yuan!
