Chapter 191: Seemingly Heartless

Gu Changting stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and said in surprise, "Nian Nian, what's wrong with you? It's a good thing, why do you cry?"

"I'm not crying about this." Xin Nian sniffed, reached out and put his arm around Gu Changting, leaned his head up, and said softly, "Because of your intentions for me, you still think of not bothering me. I thought that Sister Yao is back now, and your thoughts are all on her."

Gu Changting: ...... "uh...... You know all about it?"

"Can you hide such a big thing from me?" Xin Nian raised her head: "On the first day that Sister Xian and Sister Yao came back, Sister Gu came to tell me. Coincidentally, how did they meet on the road? I heard that Sister Yao is alone, could it be that something happened to her husband's family? But Lord Yao is now in the second grade, in the rich and prosperous place of Yangzhou, even if there is a change on Sister Yao's side, she should go back to her parents' house, why did she follow Sister Xian back?"

Gu Changting sighed and said softly, "Her husband's family was convicted of raiding, and all the female dependents were sold. As for her father, you may not know Master Yao, he is the kind of official who is particularly stubborn......

Gu Changting didn't say the rest of the words, but Xin Nian already understood: Isn't a particularly upright and stubborn official a stubborn old master full of moral articles? I'm afraid this kind of person can't accept a daughter who was sold by her husband's family, so Yao Yutong is really helpless now.

"In this way, Sister Yao is really pitiful, how are you going to arrange her?"

Gu Changting said: "After the mother's funeral, let her move out with the eldest sister, those houses are idle, let them pick any place, both of them are widows, and they can be each other's companions......

Without waiting to finish speaking, seeing Xin Nian's stunned appearance, the corners of Gu Changting's mouth twitched a few times, and he said angrily, "What kind of eyes are you? Isn't it right for me to do that?"

"Yes, yes, but ...... That's Sister Yao."

"What about Sister Yao? The eldest sister is still my own sister. I know that they are pitiful, but there are more poor people in the world, do we have to take care of them?"

Xin Nian raised his chin: "You know I didn't mean that."

"And what do you mean?"

"You really don't know what I mean?"

"I don't know."

Gu Changting's answer was categorical, but Xin Nian was puzzled: "Didn't you like her the most in the past? How now...... There's no room left?"

"It was ignorant when I was young. Now I have both wives and concubines, and a group of children, and I have long forgotten what happened so many years ago. Moreover, if I leave room for her to stay in the mansion with her eldest sister, will you be suspicious again? I'm not going to fall for that."

"Alright." Xin Nian couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "I know that the prince is extremely smart and wise. In this case, you can just watch it, I won't talk much."

"I don't need you to talk too much, I said that I won't fail you in this life, what else do you have to worry about." Gu Changting touched her smooth hair, and then stretched: "Do you have any dim sum tea?" Let the girls come up and eat, and they're done...... I'm going to go and hold a wake for my mother."

"Okay."

Xin Nian nodded, the apricot blossoms and lychees here had already been prepared, and at this time he hurriedly entered the house and put a few delicate snacks and a pot of osmanthus sweet wine on the table.

Xin Nian asked, "It's okay if you don't drink tea at night, you can get some white water, why did you pour this thing?"

"Don't say it, I just want to drink some wine now, spirits can't work, this osmanthus wine is sweet and silky, but it's just a snack."

Xinghua also said: "This wine has a low degree, and you won't get drunk no matter how much you drink, but it has some sleep-aiding effects, so I brought it to the prince to drink some."

"Okay, it's rare for you to think so well."

Xin Nian nodded, here Gu Changting used the sweet wine to his heart's content, and said goodbye to leave.

Xin Nian sent him to the door, leaned on the door frame and saw him far away, so he ordered the mother-in-law in the courtyard to close the door, and changed into pajamas while entering the house. Otherwise, with Gu Yunxian's temperament, he may not be willing to take her with him.

Just thinking about it, I heard Xinghua and Lychee laughing outside, I don't know what Xinghua said, Lychee wants to chase her. Xin Nian said in a loud voice, "Okay, what time is it? Also naughty. Lychee, you are also the one who wants to get married, why are you like a little girl? Xinghua, come in and help me make the bed."

Laughing outside for a while, only to hear the footsteps go away, and then Xinghua came in and said with a smile: "Auntie, look at it, this person, he really shouldn't do good deeds, I just told Lychee not to worry, she will be able to marry Zhao Gongzi soon, and she will come to beat me instead."

"Are you doing a good deed? You're just making fun of her."

Xin Nian watched Xinghua make the bed and was about to go over to rest, when she saw her henchman coming over and said with a smile, "Auntie, can you rest assured now? The prince is still the same as before with you, and he has not been angry with you because of the matter of the concubine."

Xin Nian nodded and said softly, "It was indeed beyond my expectation that he could untie the knot so quickly."

"Aunt Su Rili is also the chief arranger of the prince, and now you have seen it. Let me say, Miss Yao and Miss Xiao are not as good as your position in the heart of the prince."

"That's hard to say." Xin Nian shook her head: "Silly girl, do you really think that when the prince comes over tonight, there will be no rift between us? Sure enough, there was not a single pimple left in his heart, and he stayed here tonight."

"Huh?" Xinghua was stunned: "But the prince...... The prince said it very well, and let my aunt host the marriage of the third girl and Lychee, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to do it, so I will take this into account for you......

"It's his sanity. He is such a smart person, of course, he knows that it was thunder and lightning that caused the concubine to return to the west, and this thing is not something I can create and control, so no matter how you look at it, the death of the concubine has nothing to do with me. But emotionally, I will always be suspicious, wondering if I did something to cause the thunder and lightning strike? This is a thorn in his heart, and if he can't pull it out, then he can only be a loving couple who respect each other in the future."

"Huh?" Xinghua was stunned again: "Loving husband and wife respect each other like guests...... Isn't it good?"

"Of course not. treats his wife as a guest, respects more than but has no love, what kind of husband and wife are he like this? It's better to be an ordinary friend, the effect is the same, or even better."

"Sounds bad. Now the prince and aunt are laughing and laughing, and they look like honey blending oil, so if they respect each other like guests in the future, wouldn't it be polite? It's not the taste of love and affection between husband and wife."
