The Gu Mansion was cloudy, and the atmosphere in the carriage of the Qin Mansion was not wonderful, Gu Qingyi looked at the King of Qin, who had been silent, even if he had always been expressionless, she could see the boredom from it.

She was both uneasy and guilty, and finally broke the tranquility and began to apologize, "It's the concubine who makes the prince embarrassed." ”

It was really not a pleasant experience in the Gu Mansion just now, presumably King Qin had never met the cold face of a courtier, let alone that the other party was his nominal father-in-law, so he didn't even have a scene.

King Qin didn't express any opinion on his grievances, but asked, "Gu Kangwen has always treated you like this?" ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't react for a while, was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

Thinking that it was not appropriate to call her own father's name in front of Gu Qingyi, King Qin changed his words and continued to ask, "Gu Shangshu doesn't like you?" ”

Only then did Gu Qingyi understand what King Qin meant, and he was silent for a while.

When she was still Yan Shunhua, her uncle treated her quite well, her relatives' concern and condolences were not missing, and she was even more suspicious of her mother because of her mother's early death and her father's perennial guarding of the border passes.

However, it all came to an abrupt end on the day she was reborn in her cousin's body.

She will never forget the scene when he whipped her indiscriminately, and then threw it into the Peach Blossom Nunnery and ignored it, all the blood warmth is not as important as his power, and the friendship with "Yan Shunhua" was not pure, but mixed with the consideration of the power of the family.

Whenever she thinks about it, her heart is always sore and unbearable, and she really can't bear to be cherished in the eyes of some people, which is not more important than power and fame and fortune.

It's just that King Qin asked Gu Qingyi, not Yan Shunhua, she could only smile reluctantly, "My father is okay with me, but it was only after my cousin's accident that he misunderstood me, so he was left out in the cold." ”

The son does not say anything about the father, she is now the daughter of her uncle, no matter how excessive he is, it is not appropriate to gossip with others. Besides, what she said is true, her uncle still cares for her cousin, but he has always believed that the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, and the inner house is controlled by Zhang's family, and her cousin has been tempered by Zhang's all year round and has developed a weak and cowardly temperament.

King Qin suddenly fell silent, his eyes suddenly rippled, and he didn't know who it was.

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and Gu Qingyi sensitively sensed that King Qin's mood was wrong at this time, so he lowered his eyes and pondered, until he arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Compared with the deserted Gu Mansion, the weather of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is far different. Gu Qingyi was happily held by Mrs. Zhou as soon as she got out of the carriage, and she said excitedly, "My son, A-Niang is looking forward to your return." ”

It was just a simple sentence, but it inexplicably poked Gu Qingyi's tears, her eyes suddenly turned red, she leaned on Mrs. Zhou with attachment, and said softly, "Auntie, I miss you." ”

It's only three days apart, but it's like three years of separation. It is estimated that because of the sensitive mind of the pregnant woman, Gu Qingyi became more and more sentimental.

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback by her, and hurriedly leaned into her ear and asked, "What's the matter, could it be that King Qin bullied you?" ”

Gu Qingyi subconsciously looked towards King Qin, and saw that he was talking to the Marquis of Dingyuan, and when he felt the peeping, he looked back, his eyes paused on her face, and he frowned slightly.

She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes weakly, quickly shook her head, and her voice was a little louder unconsciously, "No, no, I just miss my mother." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled, but her eyes were full of love and distress, "How old a person is, he still loves to cry, don't let the prince laugh." ”

King Qin pursed his lips and didn't speak, but Zhou Yan, Marquis of Dingyuan, smiled and said in a round field, "Knowing that you two have a good relationship, King Qin and I will avoid going to the study and make room for you to talk privately." ”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Marquis Dingyuan unexpectedly, what private matters did they have to discuss in the study? But she didn't ask much, just smiled and said, "Then dare to be kind, Yi'er, let's go." ”

Gu Qingyi saw King Qin nodding at her, so she made a soft sedan chair with her stepmother and returned to the main courtyard.

As soon as she returned to the warm pavilion, Mrs. Zhou waved away the slave maid who was waiting and whispered to her, "Yi'er, how have you been doing these three days?" Have you ever had sex with the prince? Is the prince treating you well? How to deal with the feed in Fuzhong? Have the stewards of Zhuangzi and the shop ever asked for peace? ”

A series of questions crackled down, Gu Qingyi not only did not feel bored, but was heartwarming, when she returned to the door, her grandmother also had a similar question, this is the real caring attitude of relatives, which is like Zhang's superficial greetings.

She answered them one by one, but paused at the last question, "The steward outside has never come to ask for peace, and I don't dare to disturb for the first three days." ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded understandingly, and pointed, "When the time comes, you can carefully screen the loyal traitors, but don't worry about the Zhuangzi and the shop I gave you, they are all honest people, if there is a renegade, there is a deed of sale at your disposal." Gu Mansion's is not necessarily, these days I have let people find out clearly, the stewards of your Zhuangzi shop are all confidants of the Zhang family for many years, and now although they are under your name, I am afraid that there are many means in secret. ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't help but look solemn, if she remembered correctly, except for the deed of sale for the subordinates she specially named to be brought to be the companions, including the deed of sale of other subordinates in charge of the outside world, the Zhang family did not give it.

Life and death are in the hands of the Zhang family, and it is self-evident who they serve.

Mrs. Zhou didn't want her to be tired, so she hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry too much, it's just a group of minions." After a few months, just send people away, and you won't be short of that harvest. ”

This is really what a stepmother can say.

Gu Qingyi couldn't help but smile, "A-Niang is right." ”

After the two discussed these miscellaneous matters, Mrs. Zhou began to care about Gu Qingyi's body, carefully checked her pulse, and then said with a little worry, "The pulse is calm and powerful, it can be seen that my little grandson is slowly getting better." It's just that the fetus is about to be conceived after the first three months, how can I hide it when the time comes? ”

Gu Qingyi was also worried about this problem, "The prince asked me to recuperate behind closed doors and not go out to socialize." ”

"Having said that, there are always unstoppable favors and interactions." Mrs. Zhou said uneasily, "Anyway, you should pay attention and wear some loose clothes in the future." ”

Gu Qingyi nodded yes.

The mother and daughter chattered about this, not noticing that time had flown by, until the slave and maid were outside to prompt them, and they realized that it was already noon. At this time, the Marquis of Dingyuan also came back from the study with King Qin, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and they didn't know what they talked about in the study.

The two men didn't mean to explain to the female dependents, and the Marquis of Dingyuan smiled and said, "It's time for lunch, madam, bring my treasured flower carvings, and I'll have a drink with King Qin later." ”

Mrs. Zhou saw that he was very interested, and his relationship with King Qin was also harmonious, and she was inevitably happy in her heart. If Zhou Yan can make friends with King Qin, Yi'er will be able to rely on more in the palace in the future. She hurriedly went to the wine cellar to pick up a jar of high-quality Huadiao wine, and when the wine and food were served, the Marquis of Dingyuan couldn't wait to drink with King Qin.

Although the Marquis of Dingyuan was a military general, the Marquis of Dingyuan had never been on the battlefield, and the amount of wine was far less than that of the King of Qin who came back from the battlefield of real swords and guns.

"I dare to fight with others for this amount of alcohol, and the older I get, the more out of tune I get......"

Mrs. Zhou complained helplessly, and went over to help him up with the maid, but was grabbed by Dingyuan Hou's hand, he looked at her with red eyes, and said in a low voice, "Madam, I'm sorry for you." ”

Mrs. Zhou froze, and hot air quickly appeared in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and instructed the maid casually, "Wait for the Hou Ye to go down." ”

The maid hurriedly responded, but she couldn't break the hand of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Zhou for help. Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips, and took matters into her own hands to let Dingyuan Hou let go, and he was soon taken down by the maid.

Only King Qin, Gu Qingyi and Mrs. Zhou were left at the dinner table, because of Dingyuan Hou Fangcai's drunken confession, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while, Mrs. Zhou looked a little absent-minded, Gu Qingyi suddenly looked at her worriedly, Mrs. Zhou replied to her with a gentle smile, "I'm fine, let's eat quickly, don't be hungry." ”

The meal passed like this, although Gu Qingyi didn't want to leave, but obviously there was no reason to stay for a long time, so he had to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou with red eyes, "A-Niang, you remember to come to the palace to see me often when you have time." ”

Mrs. Zhou didn't care about Dingyuan Hou at this time, and her eyes were red, "What stupid things to say, you are all married daughters, how can there be a reason for A-Niang to come to the door often." ”

Gu Qingyi pursed her lips and didn't speak, and then King Qin suddenly spoke, "Don't be taboo, there are no elders in the palace, and my mother-in-law can take care of the princess when she often comes." ”

King Qin's mother-in-law made Mrs. Zhou smile, and she nodded hurriedly, "Then I will be bothered in the future, and the prince will not dislike me for being annoying." ”

King Qin said no, and his tone was as serious as ever, causing Gu Qingyi to look at him several times. To his uncle and Zhang, King Qin did not call his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but called Mrs. Zhou, so he also identified with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion more?

King Qin met her gaze, suddenly held her hand, and said, "Don't cry, it's time to go home." ”

His words always seemed cold and ruthless, but what he did all reflected tolerance and understanding, Gu Qingyi slowly understood that King Qin was not ruthless and indifferent, but his personality was like this, and he couldn't express it.

Her heart suddenly warmed, and she swept away her sorrows, and chuckled, "Okay, let's go home." ”

King Qin's expression softened suddenly, his eyes were deep and clear, like the lazy sun in the afternoon, quiet and gentle.
