It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Xiao Yanlin asked Gu Baiyu to post this post after careful consideration.

First of all, no matter what, Zuo Ningshuang is a woman who has not left the imperial court. Even if the emperor at the previous royal banquet intended to match the two, it would not sound good if Xiao Ruoyun posted it.

But Gu Baiyu was different. As the head mistress of the Hou Mansion, it was perfect for her to host the banquet.

Moreover, she and Zuo Ning had a very pleasant conversation that day, so it was not unexpected to invite her to his home as a guest.

Gu Baiyu knew what Xiao Yanlin was thinking, so he quickly posted a message inviting Zuo Ningshuang to a gathering at the Hou Mansion.

Gu Baiyu originally thought of inviting Zhuang Yuan Lang to join him, but later gave up.

It's one thing for the emperor to bring two families together, but it's another thing to meet in private.

If the powerful Marquis of Zhenbei and the newly rich No. [-] scholar in the dynasty get too close, they will inevitably arouse people's jealousy.

Not long after Gu Baiyu sent out the post, he sent someone to the second room to tell Xiao Ruoyun and Gu Ruanruan.

Although Gu Ruanruan had expected all this, he still gritted his teeth when he heard the news.

Licorice was waiting on the side, looking at her with fear, and became more and more cautious in her movements.

Gu Ruanruan was angry alone for a while, then suddenly turned to Licorice and said, "How is the thing I asked you to do?"

Licorice looked stern and whispered: "I don't know if it's a coincidence. The servant went to the warehouse and was blocked by the housekeeper. He said that he was sorting out the warehouse recently and asked the servant to touch the things in the warehouse later. If you are in a hurry to use money, you can Please report to Madam first to withdraw some..."

Gu Ruanruan sighed loudly: "That's too much! I have to look at other people's faces to use my own dowry?!"

Licorice opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.

When Gu Ruanruan came in because of the dowry, Xiao Ruoyun was very dissatisfied with her.

In order to warm Xiao Ruoyun's heart, Gu Ruanruan reluctantly put the dowry in the public treasury. She only told Xiao Ruoyun that she didn't care about money, she just wanted to be more beautiful when she got married, so that Xiao Ruoyun would have face. , and she was thinking of subsidizing her dowry more, so that Xiao Ruoyun would have a tough back when doing things in the future.

At that time, Xiao Ruoyun only said that Xiao Yanlin, his brother, treated him well and that Gu Ruanruan was overly concerned, but in the end he still believed her.

Gu Ruanruan, in order to put on a show and prove that he was not a money-grubber, deposited all his dowry into the public treasury after entering the palace——

Xiao Ruoyun told her that she would not use these things and she could withdraw them freely.

It's just that it goes into the public treasury of the Marquis's wife, and it must be registered according to the rules when using it.

But now, Gu Ruanruan had the idea in his mind to go out and spend some time alone so that Xiao Ruoyun could learn a lesson.

But she didn't dare to be too blatant, so she was careful when handling things, and she didn't dare let Gu Baiyu know.

So now, it's really a bit difficult.

"Auntie, why do you suddenly want to touch the dowry?"

Licorice glanced at Gu Ruanruan cautiously, and an ominous omen suddenly rose in her heart——

"You...you don't really want to buy a house and go out without permission, do you?"

Licorice became anxious all of a sudden and no longer cared about being afraid. She persuaded her earnestly: "Auntie, you must not have such thoughts!"

"It's just a matter of words for you to go out, but it will be difficult to come back! You know how harsh the world's words are to women. This time, your mother's family is fine. At least you have the master and his wife to watch and testify for you. , you are just angry; but if you go out by yourself, what you say or do depends entirely on other people's words! Then the second master will say that you were disloyal, or that you were not clean after you went out. .....How can you come back! You will be driven to death by rumors!"

Licorice was right, but Gu Ruanruan was determined this time.

During this period of time, she acted like a woman of this era because of Xiao Ruoyun's words and deeds. She suffered countless injustices because of him, but did she get any benefits?

These people only try to push themselves further!

Force her to give in again and again!

She couldn't let this happen.

And there is another reason. Gu Ruanruan always has a kind of self-confidence. She feels that Xiao Ruoyun can accept her differences.

Wasn't that how it used to be?

Her advanced ideas were always praised by Xiao Ruoyun. What a good relationship they had at that time!

Now that she hasn't done anything well, she might as well be her old self!

Thinking of this, Gu Ruanruan suddenly turned his head and looked at Licorice, his gaze making Licorice's scalp numb.

"If I want to leave, you will come with me, right? You are my most loyal slave, you will definitely follow me, right?"

Licorice's face suddenly turned pale, and her voice stammered: "Auntie... you... do you really want to do that?"

Gu Ruanruan narrowed his eyes: "I advise you not to have other thoughts. You think that if I leave, you can live a comfortable life by staying here."

Licorice felt uneasy, but what she was thinking was, if she followed him, if any rumors spread about Gu Ruanruan in the future, her master would be the first to have her stabbed!

But now, what else can she do...

Gu Ruanruan beat a few words and then asked Licorice to leave, telling her to find a way to get some dowry and to keep it hidden.

However, this suddenly reminded Licorice.

According to Xiao Ruoyun's current temper, he might as well just let Gu Ruanruan run wild, but there was one person who wouldn't.

Gu Baiyu cares most about the face of the Hou Mansion, Madam will definitely not let this happen!

Thinking like this, Licorice went to the old housekeeper several times, with a very anxious tone.

After many times, the old housekeeper noticed something was wrong and immediately reported it to Gu Baiyu.

Gu Baiyu heard something unusual: "Licorice always comes to you?"

The old housekeeper nodded: "After you asked Miss Lingyu to tell you that day, the old slave didn't let Aunt Gu touch the valuable things in the name of checking the warehouse. But it stands to reason that Licorice, the maid, should not alert the snake. That's right..."

At this time, Gu Baiyu was lying lazily on the couch, letting Lingyu beat her legs, and when she heard this, she just raised her eyelids and smiled lightly.

"Not necessarily."

She sighed faintly, "She cares about Ruan Ruan for not only her reputation but also her life, but that doesn't mean that others want to die with her."

The old housekeeper's heart trembled: "Then Madam, what are you going to do? If Aunt Gu is determined to do the ridiculous thing of moving out and living her own life, should we stop her... or not?"

In fact, the old housekeeper thought clearly. Even if he took control of the warehouse, Gu Ruanruan probably still had other ways to get money. If he was determined, he might be able to get her wish in the end.

The old housekeeper was worried, but Gu Baiyu smiled calmly: "If she wants to leave, just let her go. We tried our best to stop her, but she probably won't appreciate it. I won't do this thankless thing."

"Besides..."

Gu Baiyu waved lazily towards Lingyu, who immediately stood up and stepped aside.

Gu Baiyu seemed to feel comfortable being served and yawned.

"Besides, she chose her own path. No matter how hard she tried to get out today, she will cry bitterly and beg me to let her back someday. Just wait and see."

After saying this, Gu Baiyu stood up: "Lingyu, come with me to the kitchen to have a look. I heard that half a deer was sent to the military camp. How about having barbecue tonight? And some good wine... .”

The master and servant gradually went away. The old housekeeper lowered his head and waited for the two of them to go away. Then he raised his head and looked at the back of the person who was getting away, with a complicated look on his face.

When Gu Baiyu first arrived at the Hou Mansion, he was entrusted by Xiao Yanlin to take good care of this young lady;

But after just a short period of time together, the old housekeeper felt that they were all wrong.

Madam is not an innocent and kind-hearted person, but now she is becoming more and more like a matron...

No, maybe he is also innocent and kind, but the kind of innocence that comes from the heart will only be towards the people he cares about...
