During this time, Gu Xixi's growth was impressive, and the Qin family had received heartfelt praise from many family wives. In this regard, Qin just smiled, relieved and uncomfortable.

Only she understands that her former innocent daughter is gone. Instead, it was a more suitable official wife who was more suitable for surviving in the back house and was extremely shrewd. If she is ruthless enough, one day, she will also go down her own path.

I don't know why, seeing this, thinking of this, the Qin clan suddenly felt a little lost. It stands to reason that this is the kind of pity she has been looking forward to. However, if it really comes to this point, I feel extremely sorry.

Later, she realized that as a mother, what she needed was innocent and lovely care. However, as a grandmother, what she needs is a pity that she can be decisive and manage her emotions in everything.

That's the price of growth.

Gu Xixi, who grew up quickly, not only helped Bai Zhixian deal with the things that belonged to the housewife, but also did two things for himself.

The first thing is naturally to take the initiative to find Yao Wushuang.

If Yao Wushuang was not angry according to Gu Xixi's previous temperament, she would not care what she would think. However, at this moment, she is no longer the she she used to be. Since you are leaving, you are going to leave here and go to a new place, then you have to go with peace of mind, completely at ease.

After inquiry, on this day, I learned that the shopkeeper Ye went to Zhenbaozhai early, and Ye Feng also returned to Chenjia Village. Anyway, there are a few local goods from the countryside at home, but they are out of the way.

Seeing the word "Ye Fu", Gu Xixi smiled. No matter how powerful Yao Wushuang is, he doesn't dare to replace the word Ye Mansion with Yao Mansion. And she was just a pregnant woman, with a yellow face and swollen legs, and she had nothing to groom.

For the first time in her life, Gu Xixi felt that spies and power were actually good things, and they were both very useful. Before, she hated the two most beautiful things in the world.

Seeing that Gu Xixi was coming, the Ye family wanted to go in to report. In particular, some; The subordinates who knew the inside story were even more shocked. In this regard, Gu Xixi smiled and went by them, and if she didn't report it, didn't she come all.

In the house, Yao Wushuang was asking the maid to massage her legs. As the months went on, her belly grew bigger, her waist thickened, and her body became heavier. As for her legs, she was even more swollen as Gu Xixi expected, and she often cramped, which made her very uncomfortable.

After a while, maybe you won't even be able to put on your shoes.

Listening to the report from the next person, Yao Wushuang lost his mind for a moment.

In this matter, her attitude is very distinct, and so is Shopkeeper Ye. It stands to reason that Gu Xixi is so smart, and they do it so detailed, according to Gu Xixi's temperament, they shouldn't come to the door again.

However, it is strange that she took the initiative to come to the door today.

Since the other party was so shameless, Yao Wushuang felt that he didn't care. has been a cousin for decades, and she has always taken the initiative to show her goodwill. It's rare to see something like today.

Thinking of this, Yao Wushuang closed his eyes and let the maid continue to pound.

When Gu Xixi entered the door, he saw such a scene. Yao Wushuang was lying on a comfortable modified chair, his eyes slightly closed, and the maid patiently beating his legs. The chair was cushioned with a fine black bear skin.

She could see at a glance that this black bear skin was one of the congratulatory gifts she gave when she and Shopkeeper Ye got married. Shouldn't I have to replace this bearskin before she came in?

Besides, this chair looks like it came from Ye Feng's hand. Probably no one else could have imagined such a strange, yet very comfortable chair except him. If Yao Wushuang knew that what was lying down was made by her and Ye's shopkeeper's biological son, I don't know how he would feel.

Thinking of this, Gu Xixi smiled, and said to the maid, "Go out." ”

Hearing this, the maid was stunned and didn't know what to do. After all, what Yao Wushuang expected from her just now was completely different. Go out, Yao Wushuang will be angry. Don't go out, standing opposite is Mrs. Zhixian.

No, strictly speaking, although the official position of Bai Zhi County has not been decided, Gu Xixi will soon be the wife of the fifth grade official.

Seeing this, Yao Wushuang was slightly angry, and then closed his eyes and said, "Go out." "Such a little thing can't be handled well, no wonder Gu Xixi has to carry Cuizhu all the time. Today's matter, with Cuizhu, I don't think it will be like this.

Seeing this, Gu Xixi didn't speak, stretched out his hands, and walked towards Yao Wushuang. It's just that when she stepped forward, she just touched the bear skin, which shocked Yao Wushuang and thought she was going to do something.

It's no wonder that Yao Wushuang thinks so, Gu Xixi is too close to her, the snort can be smelled, and the fragrance can be smelled. And she has a big belly, and the maids are all out again. In the room, there were just two of them.

"What are you doing here?" Yao Wushuang said slightly angrily.

Gu Xixi smiled, it turned out that love and anger and uncontrollable anger mean the same thing, it turns out that I used to be like this. No wonder the Qin clan despises himself, it turns out that this is really stupid.

"I'm looking at this bearskin, cousin, or what do you think I'm doing?" Gu Xixi smiled, "Speaking of which, time flies so fast, and a few months have passed in a flash." At that time, your belly was still flat, not that big. ”

"Nonsense, I wasn't married at that time, how could my belly be big. Gu Xixi, what do you mean, if you have something to say, just say it, and if you don't have anything to say, give it to me. Yao Wushuang was held in the palm of the Ye family during this time, and his temper was good, even worse than before. In addition, during pregnancy, hormonal imbalance and temper are naturally bad, and there is no patience.

Gu Xixi didn't answer directly, but just looked into the distance and said quietly: "Don't you keep calling me cousin?" It's good now, it's all called by name. ”

"You also know that you are my cousin, hehe, so do you look like a cousin?" Yao Wushuang was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, she had no patience anymore. It's obviously a pity that I'm wrong, but now it's good, and I came here inexplicably, which makes people scratch their heads, as if they were asking for guilt.

Why? She doesn't owe her anything.

"Oh, I didn't act like a cousin? So, do you look like a cousin? Yao Wushuang asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Yao Wushuang laughed angrily: "I didn't look like a cousin? Say to yourself, 'What did I do to you in the past?' Not only did he obey you, but he also helped you do a lot of things. But what about you, what did you do to me? ”

"Tell me, then, what did I do to you?"

Yao Wushuang was about to collapse, how could she say this kind of thing? Why is this pity so shameless now? Do you want her to say in person that her father-in-law is cherished and cherished, and she picked up her leftovers?

However, at this point, Yao Wushuang felt that it didn't matter, anyway, if she dared to do it, she was not afraid of her saying it. The one who is responsible for the loss is always to cherish it.

Thinking of this, Yao Wushuang said: "Just say it, do you think I dare not say it?" Don't think I don't know, before getting married, you and my husband Ye Yuntian had a relationship, didn't you? ”

"Yes." Gu Xixi replied directly, without shyness or hesitation.

Yao Wushuang almost died of anger when he heard this. She also thought that Gu Xixi would hesitate for a while, or dodge. Where to know, she admitted so quickly. He said angrily, "Then how can you still introduce him to me?" You mean! ”

"What, you're trying to say that if you had known I had been with him for a while, you wouldn't have married him? Or do you regret it now? Gu Xixi said with a smile, at least there was no sign of anger on his face.

"You ......" Yao Wushuang was so angry that he stood up and sat down again, obviously he cared for her cheapness, how dare she? How dare she!

Seeing that Yao Wushuang was so angry that he had nothing to say, Gu Xixi put her on the seat with a little force, poured her another glass of water, and then said: "Wushuang, let me tell you now, I did have a relationship with Shopkeeper Ye for a period of time before, and I have never denied this matter, nor do I intend to deny it." The reason why I didn't tell you is because I see that you really like him, so I took the initiative to match you up. And you begged me to do it! ”

After glancing at Yao Wushuang, Gu Xixi continued: "In this life, before getting married, can't there be someone you like? But what did you do to me? Speaking of which, I am the one who has fulfilled you. And do you think I don't know, it was you who instigated the shopkeeper Ye to come to the county office to anger me! ”

I have to say that Gu Xixi's words made Yao Wushuang a little speechless, it was indeed she who liked Shopkeeper Ye first, and it was she who proposed to let Gu Xixi match her. And Gu Xixi is indeed not obliged to tell herself that she has had a relationship with Shopkeeper Ye.

"But, if you had said it, no matter how much I liked him, I don't think I would have married him." Yao Wushuang has always grasped this point.

Gu Xixi said calmly: "Actually, the reason why you have such an idea is just because you feel that you are not the first choice of Shopkeeper Ye. However, you can rest assured that the relationship between me and him was affectionate and polite, and there was no transgression at all. Moreover, my relationship with him has long been exhausted, and now it has reached the point where there is nothing to say. I haven't seen him since I got married, so what else are you worried about? ”

"Humph!"

"Now that you have children, you will be a happy family in no time. Instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to pretend not to know and continue to live your life. For the sake of the sisters, I have said all that. If you want to be known, I admit it, and it's a big deal to get along with your brother-in-law. If you want to see me go that far, then be it. ”

Gu Xixi dared to say this, but Yao Wushuang didn't dare to do so.

As Gu Xixi said, if it really comes to that point, the Gu family and the Qin family will completely break with the Yao family. Now, the cooperation between the Gu family, the Qin family and the Yao family is very deep, and all aspects of the things involved are interdependent.

But on the whole, it was the overall strength of the Gu family and the Qin family that was superior. If there is really anything, although it is a lose-lose scene, the Yao family will be even worse. Moreover, if she takes 10,000 steps back and thinks about it, what good will it do her to cherish and leave?

No.

On the contrary, there is only a disadvantage, that is, Gu Xixi may take revenge on her and continue to seduce the shopkeeper Ye, at that time, she is disgusted by her mother's family and abandoned by her husband, what good end can she have?

In the past six months since she got married, she has seen one thing clearly, that is, no matter how favored her daughter is at home, she will be angry if she marries into someone else's family and becomes someone else's daughter-in-law.

No matter how accustomed the second elder of the Ye family is to her, there is also a bottom line, and this is still when she is still pregnant with a child in her belly.

Even if she makes a big fuss, she may not be able to stir up Gu Xixi and Bai Zhixian to reconcile. After all, Bai Zhixian is a soft eater in her eyes, and she has a chance to be promoted only by relying on the Gu family.

It may not be possible to drag Gu Xixi into the water, but she herself has to bear these consequences, whether it is from her mother's family or the Ye family, she has to bear it.

On the contrary, if you continue to live according to Gu Xixi's words and pretend not to know anything, there is only benefit and no harm. In that case, why not?

"You go, I see." Half-loud, Yao Wushuang said firmly as if he had made up his mind.

"Of course I'll go. But don't worry, we will hardly see each other again in this life, and in a few days, we will be going to the capital. ”

Yao Wushuang naturally knew that whether it was the Gu family or the Qin family, if it weren't for the inexplicable calamity before, and for the sake of Bai Zhi County's future, they would not have appeared in this place. In other words, as Gu Xixi said, if he goes now, he will not come back.

"I'm leaving, take care, cousin."

"No, cousin."

Walking out of the door of the Ye family, Gu Xixi began to feel sad. She didn't want to lie to Yao Wushuang, and she wouldn't hurt her. It's just that in order for everyone to live quietly in the future, she has to come this time.

And there are two things she really didn't deceive Yao Wushuang, one is that she will not come back after she arrives in the capital. Everything here represents her past, it's just that, for the sake of happiness in the future, she has to forget, forget as if nothing had happened.

Actually, it should have been like this a long time ago, but sometimes things are so coincidental that something has to happen.

As for the second thing, that is that she and Shopkeeper Ye have indeed been completely over. In other words, since the order incident of Zhenbao Zhai, she and the shopkeeper Ye have completely lost their intersection. In the future, no matter what happens, she is confident that she will never have any contact with Shopkeeper Ye again.

As for Ye Feng, this was the second thing she had to do before leaving.

The second thing Gu Xixi did before leaving Qingshan County was to go to Chenjia Village to find Ye Feng. Of course, she went as Mrs. Zhixian and Ye Feng's stepmother, in order to give gifts and encouragement to those volunteers who are about to return to their hometowns.

The new volunteers were significantly better than the first batch of volunteers, because they were almost literate, and they worked very hard to learn because they wanted to contribute as soon as possible.

In a short period of time, they have mastered a lot of knowledge, and with the experience of teaching by veteran volunteers, they are no longer as confused as crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they have made rapid progress.

On this day, Gu Xixi came to the Salesian Bureau in a carriage with the government logo, and saw the volunteers lined up to welcome her under the leadership of Kang.

Kang is now the wife of the emperor's imperial gift, and strictly speaking, the level is higher than that of Gu Xixi, at least for now.

However, the personal relationship between the two was very deep, so they didn't care about the red tape.

After greeting each other and finishing their business, Gu Xi regretted that Ye Feng was not there, so he asked with a smile, "What about my godson?" Why don't you see him? His stepfather was promoted this time, and he made a great effort, so his stepfather asked me to thank him. ”

Kang said: "He is in Xue Dan's bakery." Let's go, I'll take you there, and by the way, try his baked cakes, they taste really good. By the way, aren't you going to rush to Beijing, you can buy some baked cakes and satisfy your hunger on the way. ”

Kang's naturally knew how rich the Gu family was, and there was naturally no shortage of food on the way. It's just that this baked cake is the most suitable to take it with you. When you're hungry, it's okay to have it as a snack.

Gu Xixi listened to it, and was worried that there was no suitable excuse. It's just that she casually asked, "Who is Xue Dan?" ”

Kang said: "Also, you don't know yet, right?" Hey, that's legendary. My stupid son, plus Xue Dan and Ye Feng, the three of them urinated and lived in a temple, and this stay was ten years. Recently, Xue Dan's father and mother also opened a baked cake shop here in Chenjia Village, do you say that it is a coincidence? ”

"That's a coincidence. The three of them are good, right? ”

"Well, as soon as we meet together, there are endless words. It's just that the Zhu family is really good to Ye Feng, and it is almost the same as his own child, saying that he wants to take care of his food every day. No, Ye Feng, the kid, ran to the shop as soon as he was free, either to help sell the baked cakes or to help the Zhu family come up with ideas to improve the baked cakes. I don't know, I thought they were a family. ”

Kang Shi said, Gu Xixi thought back to what her father Gu said that day. According to Master Gu's statement, plus Kang's words, that is to say, the master in the mouth of the three children abducted the three of them and brought them to that temple to raise them, which is true.

Gu Xixi once doubted this statement, because it sounded so incredible. How could a monk do such a thing? Even if it did, no one doubted it.

When I arrived at the baked cake shop, I saw that Zhu Shi was holding a baked cake, breaking it in half, and giving half to Ye Feng, and generally giving it to the child named Xue Dan in Kang's mouth.

As soon as he saw Xue Dan's appearance, Gu Xixi was taken aback, how could this kid look so similar to Ye Feng? It's like some of her father's character.

And the woman, who was called Zhu by Kang's family, watched the two eat baked cakes kindly. Ye Feng was in a hurry to eat, and there were some sesame seeds and the like in his mouth. When Zhu Shi saw it, he wiped Ye Feng with his sleeve, and looked at Gu Xixi's eyes.

Seeing that Kang's family was coming, and with a noble and generous woman, Zhu's was a little puzzled. But Kang took the initiative to say: "This is Mrs. Zhixian, Ye Feng's stepmother, who came here to find Ye Feng, and bought some baked cakes by the way." ”

After Gu Xixi and Zhu greeted each other, Ye Feng said, "Godmother, what are you looking for me?" ”

Gu Xixi said: "You kid, why didn't I come to the city to play recently, it turned out that I was hiding here to eat delicious food." It is so, your Father-in-law has entrusted me to thank you. We're going to Beijing in a few days, and I'm afraid it's going to be hard to see you in the future. ”

After saying that, he was a little sad.

Ye Feng didn't know this.

Historically, people in office don't like to owe others. Bai Zhixian asked Gu Xixi to thank him, but it was just to say goodbye. It's okay like this, I won't see it in the future, and I will slowly forget about it.

He really didn't want Bai Zhixian to be obsessed with this matter.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said: "That's the courtesy of the father-in-law, Corporal Lixian." Besides, this incident is the result of my father-in-law's own efforts, and I just made a few suggestions and moved my mouth, which is nothing. In this case, I wish my father-in-law a high step, and a godmother's youth. ”

"Thank you then. By the way, it's winter soon. I've had nothing to do these days, so I'll go to the ready-to-wear store and buy you a few sets of thick clothes, and I'll remember to take them home later. ”

Gu Xixi originally wanted to touch Ye Feng's head, but thinking that Ye Feng was already fourteen years old, and seeing that Zhu and Kang were there, after thinking about it, he retracted his hand. It was a bit out of place for her to do so.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, shining on Ye Feng's face, so youthful and agile, even the cold hair could be seen clearly. This is her son, the son she has been thinking about for fourteen years.

Holding back her tears, Gu Xixi chatted with Ye Feng for a while.

Zhu Shi looked at it, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, a bit like a feeling of jealousy. After thinking about it, the Zhu family was immediately relieved, they did the magistrate a great favor, and called the other party their stepmother, which is understandable.

As the people of these official families, they always value their reputation.

After thinking about it, Zhu said, "If Madam doesn't dislike it, let's go into the room and sit down." ”

Standing in the doorway and talking, it really doesn't take it seriously.

Gu Xixi hurriedly responded and took Ye Feng into the store. It's just that Gu Xixi's heart is more and more not a taste. Her own biological son, not only can she not recognize each other, but even the opportunity to get along with her was given by the Zhu family.

She really envied Zhu's.

It's just that she has always had a question in her heart, why the Zhu family would be so good to Ye Feng. Especially the action of wiping Ye Feng's mouth just now, not everyone can do it.

As a result, chatting and chatting, her doubts were dispelled, it turned out that Ye Feng and Ye Shopkeeper had both saved the Zhu family and his wife, and the Zhu family and his wife knew that the Ye shopkeeper was Ye Feng's father.

Knowing that there was such a relationship, Gu Xixi completely let go of his doubts, and at the same time was happy for Ye Feng. With someone like Zhu helping her watch her son, she is relieved. Because if it weren't for what she saw with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that the Zhu family was really good to Ye Feng, definitely more than her own son.

Seeing that a few people were chatting happily, Kang's proposed to eat here, but she didn't need Zhu's to cook, she went out to order a table of food, and sent it over when the time came.

Thinking that this was probably the first and only meal he had eaten with Ye Feng in his life, Gu Xixi agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Gu Xixi agreed, Kang asked Zhu and Gu Xixi to chat, and went to the commercial street to order a meal.

At lunchtime, Gu Xixi deliberately sat with Ye Feng, and coincidentally, Xue Dan sat on the other side of her. Gu Xixi's attention was on Ye Feng, and he sandwiched a few dishes for him, and Ye Feng ate happily.

And Xue Dan didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he picked up the chopsticks and gave Gu Xixi a dish, and said, "Madam, you taste this, this is made of longevity fruit, it is very delicious." ”

Gu Xixi was stunned for a moment, but still ate it, and said thank you to Xue Dan.

When Xue Dan picked up the dishes, Zhu and Kang were very surprised, but their reactions were different. Kang's thought was, who said this kid was honest? I looked like I didn't want to deal with anyone, but now that I see Mrs. Zhixian, I don't stammer.

But what Zhu thought was that this kid shouldn't be evil today. After being home for so long, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to serve vegetables to others. Even she and Xue Laohan have never had such treatment.

As for Gu Xixi, her attention was all on Ye Feng, all she thought was that Xue Dan was Ye Feng's good brother, and she was the county magistrate's wife, and this child gave her vegetables for this sake.

It's just that when Zhu saw that Gu Xixi gave Ye Feng vegetables from time to time, taking her place, it was no longer good to continue to play his usual role, and turned to Xue Dan to pick up vegetables.
