When Gu Yuan and Mao returned to Xifu, their clothes were already dirty and haggard, and Mao got out of the carriage and almost sat on the ground, but the maidservant barely stood up and entered the mansion.

Regardless of the fact that she was still sick, Mrs. Gu came out to greet her with her maidservant, and saw Gu Yuan's beard stubble and weight loss. Tears immediately fell, and tears pulled him with tears in his eyes: "Son, why did you become like this, and you were wronged there......"

Gu Yuan shrank his neck a little weakly, looked at Old Madam Gu and looked back at Mao, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Mao stepped forward with a cold smile: "It's just that I've been locked up for more than half a month, and I'm afraid that I haven't eaten or drunk, so what grievances can I have, but I teach the Ah family to worry." ”

Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Gu was even more angry, if it weren't for Mao's instigation, her Erlang was filial and sensible, how could she confess her, it must be this broom star who helped the housekeeper cause such a big incident, and the spices she bought were all fake, and she lost so much money and silver in the house.

She looked at Mao, her eyes were grim, and she turned around and instructed the maidservant: "Quickly let people prepare food and send it to Songshou Courtyard, Erlang is afraid that he hasn't had a good meal these days, let him make up for it." ”

After that, he personally pulled Gu Yuan back, and ignored the Mao family behind him.

Mao's heart was even more annoyed, and he followed behind their mother and son angrily, watching the old lady Gu shush Gu Yuan and ask for warmth, and was even more resentful, this time the son wanted to play the mother and son filial piety, what kind of life did they live in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion before, the old lady came to let people come to see it, and Gu Mingzhu asked people to send clothes and food a few times, so they barely survived.

She glanced at Gu Yuan again, and felt even more ridiculous, crying tears and snot in front of the jailer, and shook Mrs. Gu clean in two clicks.

She looked left and right, but she didn't see Sister Gu Mingzhu, she was a little puzzled, and asked the maidservant: "What about the eldest lady?" ”

The maidservant looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The second lady doesn't know, something big happened in the house......"

When she arrived at Songshou Courtyard, Mao's face was a little complicated, she didn't expect that the mansion had never stopped these days, Gu Mingyue was actually sent to the Taoist temple, Gu Mingzhu fought for the belongings of the East Mansion back, and now the West Mansion is only an empty shell, without the support of the East Mansion, I am afraid that it will be a strong outside.

She lowered her head and pondered, but she never saw Old Madam Gu's cold gaze, staring at her like a snake spitting letters.

"I've been sick these days, and no one has taken care of the affairs of the house, the house has become a mess, since you are back, you should help share some of it." Old Madam Gu retracted her loving expression towards Gu Yuan, and said to Mao: "I just got a post today, and I want to invite the house to congratulate you, your sister-in-law is so sick, and your mother's family is not what it looks like, so you should go." ”

Mao was stunned for a moment, looked down at the post sent by the maidservant, and when she opened it, she saw that the name of Guo Taishi's Mansion was written on it, she couldn't help but be shocked, raised her head and was about to speak.

Old Madam Gu interrupted her: "Let Mingzhu follow you, if you don't know any rules, just let her tell you." "It's completely non-negotiable.

Mao secretly gritted his teeth, knowing that the old pious woman was not so easy to speak, and would inevitably think of embarrassing her, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless, who didn't know that the second room of the Guo family already hated the Gu family to the bone, she actually wanted to go to the small banquet of the second room of the Guo family with Gu Mingzhu to congratulate her, this is to harm her!

She endured her anger, took the post, and thought about going to Dongfu for a while to discuss it with Gu Mingzhu.

Old Madam Gu added: "Let the East Mansion prepare the congratulatory gift, the West Mansion is not as good as before, and it is better to save these irrelevant things." ”

Mao almost scolded, and didn't even give a congratulatory gift, but asked her to go with her to congratulate, obviously to make her embarrassed and be laughed at, she could only lick her face and beg Gu Mingzhu.

She glanced at Mrs. Gu, and finally swallowed the words that had already reached her mouth, and now that the West Mansion is all run by the old lady, she really annoys the old lady, but she is afraid that life will be very difficult.

Compared with the constraints of the West Mansion, the East Mansion is still a calm and leisurely appearance, the maid invited the Mao family to sit down in the small flower hall, and cooked tea soup and brought fruit cakes to the Mao family.

Gu Mingzhu came in with a smile: "The second aunt is back, I have really wronged the second aunt these days." ”

She looked at Mao and sighed softly: "I heard Mama say that the prison room was very simple and embarrassing, and I thought that I would make up the money and let people pick up the second uncle and second aunt back, but I never thought that the old lady would ...... her."

She shook her head helplessly, and did not continue, as if she had a word of suffering.

Mao sneered and said hatefully: "You don't have to say it, I know that the old lady took back the right to give back and didn't let people pick it up." I finally understand, what is called kindness and evil, she is just like this to me, even your second uncle was abandoned by her, and the appearance of a loving mother on weekdays is just pretending to be shown to us. ”

Speaking of this, she looked angry, took out a post from her sleeve and threw it on the desk, and pouted: "She didn't dare to go herself, but sent you over with me." ”

Gu Mingzhu picked up the post and looked at it, but laughed: "Guo Jialan's mother is also going to get married, which is a happy event." ”

Mao was a little surprised: "You are not afraid, but I heard that the people in the second room of the Guo family hate you, if this is the past, ...... it."

Everyone knows about the Qujiang banquet, not to mention the matter of the original Zhuangzi of the dragon head, and now everyone in Chang'an City says that the life of the eldest lady Gu is domineering, and the most is the second room of the Guo family in the Ketaishi Mansion.

Gu Mingzhu smiled nonchalantly: "No, isn't it okay for me to go to Guo's house last time to congratulate me?" ”

Mao had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go with you tomorrow, it's just a congratulatory gift......"

Gu Mingzhu smiled happily: "Second aunt, don't worry, I'll let people prepare it." ”

She had already expected that with Mrs. Gu's indefatigable temperament, now that she had no family wealth in Dongfu, she was afraid that she would not be willing to take advantage of Dongfu's small advantage, but this time she was interested in seeing Guo Yulan's relatives, so she didn't mind coming up with this congratulatory gift.

After all, it is a blessing to be able to marry such a "good husband", not to mention that she still has to marry, and I don't know if Guo Yulan will regret what she did at the beginning.
