Pei Yu was wearing a Xuanqing color straight jacket, her posture was as tough as bamboo, and the jade tree stood behind her in the wind.

Seeing his wife speak, he smiled faintly at the breeze.

"There is nothing big about it, Brother Liu said that it was too cold at night, so he asked me to come back first." Pei Yu raised his eyes and looked at the person lying on the bed, and asked his wife, "Why is pity here for you?" ”

Whatever Pei Yu said, Wang Ruolan believed it.

She didn't ask why her husband, who was supposed to be on duty, suddenly came back, but raised her index finger to her mouth and shook her head to signal her husband to be quieter.

Gu Yaolian kept holding her hand after bathing, and stopped talking.

Even if she was coaxed to close her eyes and rest, she couldn't sleep well, and would open her eyes from time to time to confirm whether she was still by her side.

"Go out and talk." Wang Ruolan was afraid of disturbing Gu Yaolian's rest, so she got up and put on a coat, and pulled her husband's cuffs to the outer room.

Wang Ruolan and Pei Yu were both afraid of the cold, so the windows in the house were closed very tightly, and the slightest wind could not penetrate them.

She poured Pei Yu a cup of tea and talked about what happened tonight.

Gu Yaolian went back to Chang'an Courtyard to rest after having lunch with her, she always coughed at night, and rarely used dinner with Gu Yaolian on weekdays.

As before, she instructed Mother Zhong to send some appetizers before dinner, and the maids around Gu Yaolian were also serving as usual, and there was nothing abnormal at all.

But who knew that just after the end of the day, Gu Yaolian's personal maid Xiangwu ran back and said something big.

Xiangwu said that Gu Yaolian secretly went to Magpie Lake to find Liu Yu, and pestered Liu Yu to hold on, she couldn't stop Gu Yaolian alone, so she could only come back and tell the people in the third room.

Gu Yaolian was thin when she was young, so Wang Ruolan once taught her to practice martial arts to strengthen her body.

If Gu Yaolian really wanted to entangle someone, Xiangwu really couldn't stop it.

"What's wrong with me?" Wang Ruolan sighed, "I actually believe the words of a maid, I ...... I'm confused......"

If she hadn't believed in Xiangwu, the Ji clan would not have taken advantage of this to be aggressive towards Gu Yao.

In Wang Ruolan's heart, Gu Yaolian is a child after all.

"It's okay." When Pei Yu heard this, he knew that Gu Yaolian didn't really tell his wife all the truth, "You are also worried that she is going out." ”

"It's not peaceful in Yanjing City, and it coincides with the Begging Festival and there is no curfew, and the manpower of the Soldiers and Horses Division to patrol the city is twice as many as usual."

Pei Yu poured a cup of hot water for his wife to warm her hands.

If you eat tea at night, your wife will not sleep well.

"You say, Ming'er wants Mother Zhong to send Xiangtan and Xiangwu back to Liu's house? I might as well leave this to me. Pei Yu tried to say, "I'm also going to Liu's house to do something, so I sent it over." ”

Gu Yaolian will hide it from his wife, just because he is afraid that his wife will worry.

Wang Ruolan's current body should not be too worried.

"Won't it bother you too much?" Wang Ruolan frowned, "I can handle the affairs of the inner house." ”

"What kind of house is this? Mercy is your niece and my relative. I, who is an uncle, do some small things along the way, why is it a trouble? ”

"Ruolan, we are husband and wife, why bother to see outside?"

Pei Yu's voice was gentle, like a melting spring in March.

Wang Ruolan raised her hand to press her lips and coughed a few more times.

Pei Yu hurriedly got up and found a slightly thicker piece of rice to put on Wang Ruolan, as if he wanted to wrap her in a ball.

Wang Ruolan smiled, "I'm fine." ”

She turned her head to look at the child who had never woken up in the room, and said, "Peizhi, I don't want the Liu family to take pity away." ”

Although she and Gu Changming are sister-in-law and brother-in-law, after the death of their fathers, there is less contact between the two families.

It stands to reason that Gu Yaolian should be raised in the Liu family, after all, the Liu family is Gu Yaolian's foreign family.

"The Liu family sent several waves of people, saying that they wanted to take Yao Lian back to the Liu family to stay for a few days. Even Yaoqing told me in person that she remembered her only sister. The look in Wang Ruolan's eyes disappeared cleanly, "I should let her go back, after all, the Liu family is her foreign family, and Yaoqing is her sister-in-law." ”

"But I can't help it...... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid! ”

Wang Ruolan's eyes were slightly red, "I still dream that when Yaolian was one year old, I went to Liu's house with Zhong's mother to attend Yaolian's New Year's ceremony." ”

"At that time, I was afraid of troublesome with the Liu family, so I went to see this child alone. Who knows, she was actually thrown on the cot at random. The adults were eating and drinking outside, but there was no maid or woman around the child. ”

"She is just a one-year-old child, when she should have learned to speak and walk, there were no elders around her who taught her to speak and walk, and even the nurse was a wooden mute."

Wang Ruolan said, like falling into the ice cellar.

She still remembered the child in the little bed, without the look of a child, not crying or making trouble, like a delicate but lifeless puppet.

She was very distressed, and after arguing with the Liu family, she proposed to take Gu Yaolian back to Yongchangbo's mansion.

The Liu family disagreed, and the people in the Bofu also persuaded her, maybe it was all a misunderstanding!

But the children are like this, what misunderstanding can there be?

She thought that the child was dull, and he couldn't speak when he was a year old, and he couldn't even babble.

Now she understands that the Liu family doesn't care about Gu Yao's granddaughter at all.

"Peizhi, am I always causing you trouble?" Wang Ruolan was held in Pei Yu's arms, and her voice was choked, "At that time, you went to the Liu family and calmed down this matter." Later, you persuaded my father and aunt to let Haruka live in my yard. ”

"Say what?" Pei Yu was extremely distressed when he saw his wife like this, "Didn't I say that we are husband and wife?" What's the trouble? ”

"It is good and filial to have mercy on this child. If she knew you weren't sleeping tonight, she would have worried about you. ”

"Don't think about it anymore, the past is gone. Now, you need to take care of your body and watch Mercy get married and have children. ”

Wang Ruolan nodded, "Okay." ”

Pei Yu comforted his wife, but his thoughts drifted away.

The Liu family did not agree with the relationship between the Liu family and Gu Changming, and later it was Wang Ruolan's father who personally came to help Gu Changming propose marriage, and became this in-law.

Gu Changming and the Liu family got married only a few days ago, and then went to the front line.

After the Liu family gave birth to Gu Yaoqing, Gu Changming's mother also went.

The border was turbulent, and Gu Changming only worried for a hundred days, and then returned to the battlefield.

Later, it was difficult for the Liu family to have Gu Yao's pity, but he went after half a month.

The military generals are outside, and their families must stay in the capital.

Gu Changming didn't know what means he used, so he agreed that he took Gu Yaoqing to the front line, leaving Gu Yaoqing, who had just been born.

No one knew if Gu Changming would die on the battlefield, but everyone understood that Gu Yaolian was a 'hostage' left in the capital by Gu Changming.

The Chongyang banquet held by the first emperor once stained the chrysanthemum pond with blood. Gu Yaolian escaped because he was young, but it was indeed the family members of many military attachés who died that day.

Pei Yu thought, how could Gu Yaolian, who is now smart, not understand that his former father abandoned him?

Because she understood, Gu Yaolian cherished the family relationship between her and Wang Ruolan very much, and she almost lost her life outside and didn't mention it to Wang Ruolan.

But after all, she is a child, but she doesn't understand that these people can harm her once, and they can harm her countless times.

Moreover, it is not that simple.

With the skills of Ji and Gu Yaoqing, they can't arrange it so carefully.

Indoors.

Gu Yaolian was lying on his side on the bed, his eyes empty and blank.

Although I knew about these things in my previous life, I still felt heartache when I heard it again.

"It's going to be fine." She felt a terrible pain in her eyes, and something burning slipped from the corners of her eyes, "As long as my aunt is here, everything will be fine." ”
