311 And he did it
I opened the letter and read a few lines, and saw that it was as she expected, and the smile on the old lady's face was even brighter, but when she saw the back, her expression stiffened a little, and in the end, the corners of her lips also drooped.
Noticing the change in the old lady's expression, Ding Er couldn't help but wonder what Chu Liangrao wrote in the letter.
After reading the letter, the old lady pressed the letter on the table, and even though the people who served the 'servant' around her were illiterate, she still pressed her hand on the letterhead to block the contents.
In just a short moment, the old lady regained her smile and asked about Chu Liangrao.
Ding Er is just a small guy in the end, and he can't compare to the maid next to Chu Liangrao, so his answer is vague, only saying that the county lord is all right, so that the old lady doesn't have to worry.
The old lady hummed absentmindedly, and was thinking about how to send Ding Er away, when she heard the next person report that the princess had come to ask for peace.
Hearing the report, Ding Er consciously stepped aside.
Gu walked in with the support of Mother Lin, glanced at Ding Er, she had a smile on her face, walked up to the old lady and saluted, "Mother, did you sleep well last night?" ”
The old lady who put the letter in her sleeve nodded calmly, took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly with the teacup, and then said "um" slowly.
Airs! Gu Shi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and without the old lady's instructions, she straightened her waist, she looked at Ding Er who was standing with her hands down with a smile, and said, "Yo? Isn't this Ding Er? Didn't the prince let you serve Auntie, why did you come here today? But what is it that Aroo can't make up her mind about that she came to ask her mother for help? ”
"It's just an ordinary hello, look at the daughter-in-law, where do you want to go?" The old lady said lightly, and then ordered, "Set the meal." ”
Gu, who was in charge of the cloth, had to stop talking for the time being, she glanced at the old lady and said meekly, "Yes." ”
During a meal, the old lady ate very slowly, and from time to time asked the Gu family to pick this and that, intending to delay time and wait for Chu Chaoyang to come back.
Gu Shi didn't know what the old lady meant, but she still lowered her eyebrows and didn't complain at all, seeing that the old lady had almost eaten all the food in the bowl in front of her, she couldn't help but sneer, and thought secretly: See how long you can be proud, do something like that, even if the prince comes back, he can't help you. On the contrary, the prince is here, just to help her witness.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them had any eyes to 'communicate' during this extraordinarily long meal.
The old lady, who didn't have much breakfast on weekdays, ate a lot, and had long felt panicked, but she couldn't wait for her son to come back, so she had no choice but to get off the table. After washing her hands slowly and rinsing her mouth, the old lady sat down and squinted lazily and closed her eyes.
Gu stepped forward and squeezed her shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Mother's appetite is really good today. ”
"Hmm." Responding lightly, the old lady still closed her eyes and said, "There are subordinates who serve here, and you don't have to '' it." ”
He who has made people do this and that, and now he is saying this? Gu Shi turned a deaf ear, his hand was still pressed on the old lady's shoulder, and the force was light and fluttering, but it was more like pinching clothes.
Seeing that the Gu family didn't listen to the call, the old lady was a little dissatisfied, and her brows were furrowed, but thinking of Chu Liangrao's mention in the letter, she endured it again.
Gu, who took the old lady's expression into his eyes, couldn't help but wonder, how did the old lady, who likes to put her mother-in-law's score the most on weekdays, open her mind today and know how to forbear? It's okay if the old lady doesn't open her mouth, it's a big deal that she asks herself.
At this time, Gu Shi no longer planned to go around the bend, and directly opened the 'door' and asked, "Mother, I heard that you sent someone to deliver something to Aroo yesterday?" ”
"So what?" The old lady said, "It's just Auntie's money, I can't make you '' this heart, if you have that mind, you might as well condition your body and add incense to the house earlier." ”
These words stabbed Gu's heart at once, she knew that the old lady had already made up her mind, and she could drink tea when the prince nodded. If it's an ordinary 'girl', it's just a big deal to go to the mother and keep the son, and raise it under her own name, but the old lady is now impressed by Miss Wen, and she also wants to promote her to be a side concubine, which will inevitably be more difficult to go to the mother and keep the child.
If Wen Bangmo gives birth to the eldest son, she will inevitably be made the son of the world, and then the location of her main room will be an empty shelf. But she also knows her body, if she wants to conceive a child, it will be really difficult, not to mention that Chu Chaoyang has not been in her house for a long time.
It is precisely because of this that the Gu family is more eager than before to hold the power of the housekeeper in their hands, if they can grasp the power of the house, it is that Wen Bangmo jumped out of the 'flower', and she also has a way to beat her back to her original form.
For such an ungrateful 'girl', she is not polite to her, and as for the children she gives birth to, she is not polite.
At the beginning, she was negligent and let the Yu family give birth to Chu Liangrao, which was enough to make her regret it, in the past ten years, Chu Liangrao has been favored by Chu Chaoyang, and she has used all kinds of means, but she has not been able to stop Chu Liangrao from growing up and marrying.
With this biggest negligence, Gu made up his mind that he would definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Since she can't give birth to a child, no one else should think about this idea.
With hatred in his heart, the strength of Gu's hand was also a little heavier, and the sharp nails of Xiu were deeply pierced into the old lady's eight groups of Xi Baolan 'handover' collar jacket.
The old lady who was in pain slapped her hand away and shouted, "It's not light or heavy." ”
Gu Shi, who realized the gaffe, did not smile as before, but calmly looked at the old lady 'rubbing' her shoulders with care, and she asked: "Mother, how did my daughter-in-law hear that it wasn't just Auntie's Yulu that she went to give away yesterday?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The weak-hearted old lady frowned even deeper, and said toughly, "Could it be that my daughter-in-law is dissatisfied with me for managing this family?" ”
In a word, Gu Shi was surprised again, and he didn't expect the old lady to see it so clearly. Looking up and glancing at Ding Er, who had no sense of existence, she suddenly understood in her heart. Gritting his teeth, Gu's heart was called a hate, why did this aunt still work against herself when she was married, this old woman's housekeeper has also been for some days, what's wrong with accepting it herself? Trying to squeeze out a smile, Gu said: "What is my mother talking about, my daughter-in-law is just curious for a moment, and I hope my mother knows everything." "Seeing that the Gu family was 'pressing' step by step, the old lady who had no other way thought of the stupid method recommended by Chu Liangrao, stood up, raised her fingers tremblingly, and her face turned red: "You! You! You! ”
