When I returned to Jinling, it was already summer.

When Xie Yuanniang was sent out by Jia Chengzhou, it was three months ago, and she only returned to Jinling in June by carriage all the way.

Xie Yuanniang hated Jia Chengzhou, but in the past three years, Jia Chengzhou has not hurt her, but he also took her out of his home.

The carriage slowly entered Jinling, Xie Yuanniang looked at the clothes on herself and her son, thought about it, and let the carriage find a ready-to-wear shop and stop.

Jia Chengzhou has good clothes for them, but there are dangers along the way, Xie Yuanniang and Brother Heng came back in ordinary clothes, and she was afraid that returning to the mansion like this would make her mother sad.

There were not many people in the shop, Xie Yuanniang and her son quickly changed their clothes, and then they heard that the street outside was lively, looking at Xie Yuanniang's curiosity, Xiao Er explained kindly on the side.

"I think it's Second Lady Gu and the young grandmother of the Gu Mansion who came out."

Second Mrs. Gu?

Xie Yuanniang hugged Brother Heng's hand tightly, slowly walked to the window, and asked as if unintentionally, "Second Mrs. Gu?" But Kong Daru's granddaughter? ”

"The little lady is not from our Jinling City, Xu doesn't know, that is Gu Shoufu's former wife, who has fallen ill, this second lady Gu is filling the house, but her identity is also delicate, she is the daughter of the king of Nanyang, the lord of Nanyang."

"The identity is prominent, Gu Shoufu is enviable, and the county lord is the one who fills the house."

Xiao Er's face was glorious, "When the second prince rebelled, Gu Shoufu was the minister of the humerus, so he was naturally valued by the emperor." ”

Xie Yuanniang smiled and didn't continue the topic just now, "Please check out." ”

Just hearing this, my chest hurts.

In the past few months since she came out of the valley, Xie Yuanniang has never inquired about Gu Shoufu, she knows that she is escaping, but she also has a fluke mentality in her heart, feeling that the second master is not such a heartless person.

As a result, as soon as he returned to Jinling, he met Second Mrs. Gu.

After settling the account, the hired carriage had already left, and the Confucian Mansion was not far from here, Xie Yuanniang was holding Brother Heng all the way to the Confucian Mansion.

Gu Mansion has a new second lady, so it is naturally impossible for her to go back.

Brother Heng grew up in the valley, and he had never seen such a lively place at all, and he had been on the official road for the past few months since he came out of the valley, and he had never had any markets.

Seeing the sugar man, Brother Heng looked at it with blank eyes, and didn't say that he wanted it, so obediently that Xie Yuanniang couldn't bear to stop and buy one for Brother Heng.

Walking and stopping all the way, there are many people on the street, who knows that they will bump into people, Xie Yuanniang hurriedly apologized, but listened to a very gentle woman's voice.

"It's okay, the little lady should pay attention to the child when she holds it."

The voice is too gentle, and the woman feels comfortable listening to it.

Xie Yuanniang glanced up, she was slightly stunned, her voice was good, and she was also beautiful, with a thin waist and Zhu Dan, she was really a big beauty.

"Thank you." It was the person she bumped into, and the other party also reminded her to take care of the child, Xie Yuanniang thanked her embarrassedly.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" A girl over there squeezed over, first glanced at her wife, and saw that everyone was fine, and then looked at Xie Yuanniang, "The little lady should pay attention to walking." ”

"Is Auntie alright?" Another woman came.

This person Xie Yuanniang knows, it is Shu Mi.

Shu Mi was also stunned when she saw Xie Yuanniang, Xie Yuanniang didn't look at her, and walked out with Brother Heng in her arms.

Second Lady.

It turned out that this was the second master's new wife.

The gentle voice behind him could still be heard, "Do you know her?" ”

Later, it was too far away, and there were crowds on the street, Xie Yuanniang didn't hear how Shu Mi answered.

After this incident, Xie Yuanniang didn't stay longer, and went directly to the Confucian Mansion with Brother Heng in her arms, Shu Mi just saw her, maybe many people will know that she is back in a short time.

The dead Second Lady Gu is alive again, how will the Second Master explain it then?

When Xie Yuanniang returned to the Confucian Mansion with Brother Heng in her arms, the porter recognized the person, and when she saw it, she cried on the spot, "Miss, you are finally back." ”

"My mother, are they alright?"

The porter welcomed people in, and nodded again and again, "Okay, it's just that I haven't been able to find the eldest lady in the past few years, and the lady's eyes are not crying well." ”

The house was quiet, and Xie Yuanniang noticed it, "The people in the house? ”

"The old lady and the old man have all returned to Jiangnan again, leaving the old slave to stay here, saying that one day the eldest lady will come back, so someone else doesn't know the eldest lady."

"Mother, have they returned to Jiangnan?" Xie Yuanniang rushed to Jinling and was stunned when she got the news.

"Miss...."The porter was also embarrassed.

The Gu Mansion has already married a new Second Mrs. Gu, and the eldest lady is back now, and her identity is also embarrassing.

"Bring the door of the house, and whoever comes in will say they don't see me coming back." Xie Yuanniang took a deep breath, "Prepare another carriage, go out of the city immediately, and don't stop all the way to Jiangnan." ”

The porter didn't dare to delay, and immediately called someone to arrange it.

The gate was closed, Xie Yuanniang did not live in the main courtyard, but found a side courtyard and took Brother Heng to live, and did not let the subordinates come to the courtyard, but they did not see her.

The concierge who stayed behind was also a shrewd old man, and it could be seen that the eldest lady didn't want people to find him.

On the side of Gu Mansion, Shu Mi suppressed the horror in her heart, and was still a little absent-minded after returning to the house, until Gu Tingzhi came back, Shu Mi was also wondering whether to tell him what she saw.

Gu Tingzhi saw that she had something on her mind, but she didn't ask, "I made an appointment in the evening, you can go to your mother's place for dinner." ”

Shu Mi responded, and told him to drink less, and saw that the people went out, and then fell silent again.

It's just that the girl next to her can't stand it, "Girl, you have been married for more than three years, and your uncle has not been in your room, although Mrs. Tai and the old lady do not urge, but who knows if they will feel that the problem of having no heirs is on the girl." ”

Thinking of the girl's reputation, the girl who served around her also complained.

"Don't talk about it in the future." Shu Mi glanced at the girl warningly, and then stood up, "Let's go, go to Mrs. Tai's place to sit down, my mother wants to come and be there." ”

There are some things that she can't say, but if she doesn't say anything when she sees them, she can't let go of them in her heart.

What's more, the relationship with Xie Yuanniang was not an outsider, and Shu Mi was also on her side at this time.

Old Madam Gu was asking Brother Zhan about his homework, and when Shu Mi came in, there was laughter inside, "Brother Zhan came back from the clan today?" ”

Brother Zhan was sent to the Kong clan when he was three years old, taught by the Kong family, and only came back once in half a month, Shu Mi originally wanted to talk to Mrs. Tai about Xie Yuanniang, but at this time, he saw Brother Zhan, who was only five years old and was very sensible, and felt a little distressed.

It is said that motherless children are sensible early, and Brother Zhan is very sensible, calm and talkative, not like a child at all, but the more sensible he is, the more distressing it is.
