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

With Xiao Yanlin watching in the house, Gu Baiyu felt much more relaxed.

Things that she usually needed to keep an eye on in person were now taken care of by Xiao Yanlin, so Gu Baiyu simply let it go and had a good rest.

So in the afternoon, the two brothers and sisters of the Zuo family came to the door with gifts.

Gu Ruanruan and Xiao Ruoyun also followed to greet him at the door.

Gu Ruanruan didn't know whether she had figured it out or was planning something else. Gu Baiyu saw that she was very calm. Although she didn't greet her warmly, she didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction.

What made Gu Baiyu even more suspicious was that Ganoderma lucidum, which was originally arranged not to serve around him, actually followed Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Baiyu was so angry that he didn't ask any more questions.

"Why did the Marquis come to welcome you in person? You have broken our brother and sister!"

Perhaps because there were no outsiders around, when Zuo Lingfeng and Xiao Yanlin spoke, they lost the politeness they had in the palace that day and became much more sincere.

When facing Gu Baiyu, he was also very respectful.

As for Zuo Ningshuang, she still looked so down-to-earth and generous. This girl's temperament really appealed to Gu Baiyu, so she was very friendly to her.

"Come here, why are you bringing these false gifts?"

Zuo Ningshuang was warmly kissed by one of her hands, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

"My brother and I don't have anything good. We just brought some local specialties. Madam, please don't dislike them."

At this moment, Zuo Lingfeng said in time: "This is a pastry made by you. Madam will definitely like it."

Gu Baiyu was a little surprised now.

Zuo Ningshuang had a very embarrassed look on her face: "The other day I heard that Madam likes to eat snacks, so I made some hometown-flavored ones. I'm not good at it, Madam, don't dislike it."

The other party was so sincere that Gu Baiyu didn't do any false courtesy. When he lifted the red cloth covering the basket, a fresh fragrance suddenly hit his nostrils.

I saw that the snacks in the basket were exquisitely designed, each one was small and cute, and looking at the types, there were actually more than ten kinds.

"I thought men wouldn't like these, and I was afraid that if I made too much, my wife would not be able to digest them after eating them, so I made the same one."

Gu Baiyu was really touched now.

This gift from Zuo Ningshuang was really thoughtful.

He immediately held hands and became more enthusiastic: "What's wrong with a madam? I heard that you are just over a year younger than me, so please call me sister!"

Zuo Ningshuang was not the kind of person to be coy, so she blushed and called "Sister", and Gu Baiyu readily agreed.

At this time, Xiao Yanlin on the side suddenly said: "Your sister is so polite, why did you come empty-handed?"

As soon as Xiao Yan said these words, Gu Baiyu was secretly surprised.

Originally, when I heard Xiao Yanlin say that he had a good relationship with Zhuangyuan Lang, I just thought it was a bit of appreciation.

But now when I heard him say this, I immediately understood that the two of them really had a close personal relationship, otherwise Xiao Yanlin would not have been able to say such a thing according to his character.

As if to answer Gu Baiyu's doubts, Xiao Yanlin said thoughtfully: "Master Zuo has a rare outgoing character among literati. He and I have the same views on many things. Master Zuo also has a good relationship with several deputy generals in the army."

When Gu Baiyu heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruanruan in the corner.

She still lowered her head and said nothing, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Gu Baiyu was afraid that Gu Ruanruan would reveal their relationship to the second prince and others privately, so he said: "Stop standing at the door and go in quickly."

Xiao Yanlin and Zuo Lingfeng didn't care much, and didn't take Gu Ruanruan seriously at all.

Zuo Lingfeng said with a smile: "Of course I have prepared a gift for you. I am here today to solve your urgent need."

Xiao Yan paused and suddenly smiled: "Okay, let's talk about it in the study later."

Everyone entered the house together. The butler had already prepared hot meals and dishes, and the wine was also old wine.

Even though Zuo Lingfeng was a scholar, he was very bold when it came to drinking, and his drinking capacity was not inferior to that of Xiao Yanlin.

Zuo Ningshuang moved closer to Gu Baiyu and said, "When my brother was in his hometown, others called him the "Third Youngest Master"."

Gu Baiyu became interested: "What does this mean?"

Zuo Ningshuang pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of pride in her smile: "Others say that my brother has the best literary talent in terms of knowledge, the most unique insights in political commentary, and the most unforgiving drinker."

Her words also attracted Xiao Yanlin's attention, and he immediately said: "Then I must stay drunk with Mr. Zuo today!"

The two men drank to their heart's content, but Xiao Ruoyun couldn't drink enough and put down his glass as soon as he finished drinking.

Seeing that he was free, Zuo Ningshuang started chatting openly.

She was very good at talking, and she was talking about the time when the two met. She only said that she was very grateful to Xiao Ruoyun at that time, but she had never had the chance to thank Xiao Ruoyun before, and she wanted to thank Xiao Ruoyun today.

After saying that, he poured himself wine and stood up to pay respect.

She poured herself a glass and was about to pour wine for Xiao Ruoyun. Lingyu on the side saw it and picked up the wine bottle first.

They, the maids of wealthy families, knew the rules best. Even if the guests were toasting, there was no reason for the guests to take the initiative to pour the wine, so they thought of pouring the wine for Xiao Ruoyun.

But before she could tip the wine bottle down, she was suddenly blocked by a white hand.

"Hey, Miss Lingyu, let Miss Zuo do the pouring. She came here to express her gratitude to the second master. You did it for her, but she still thinks about this kindness in her heart. I see that Miss Zuo is not that pedantic person, but she is just doing it for her benefactor. Pour some wine and you can help others."

The person who spoke was Gu Ruanruan.

As soon as she spoke, the table fell silent.

Gu Ruanruan's proposal is not ungenerous.

Lingyu didn't let Zuo Ningshuang pour the wine just now, firstly because of etiquette, and secondly because it was inappropriate.

The people serving the male master at the dinner table are either servants or his own female relatives.

Why is she so generous today?

No one spoke at the dinner table. Gu Baiyu was about to speak to relax the atmosphere, but unexpectedly Zuo Ningshuang picked up the wine bottle generously.

"Since Aunt Gu doesn't mind, I'll pour the wine for my benefactor myself."

Gu Ruanruan covered her lips and smiled: "Why do you care? I was stingy that day in the palace, and it was also because I cared about my husband. I was wrong."

She took the initiative to push Xiao Ruoyun's wine glass in front of Zuo Ningshuang: "Now that I think about it, Miss Zuo is keeping a clean mind. It's because of my narrow-minded thinking. Maybe you are simply grateful to your savior and just want to repay your kindness. Don't you have any other ideas?"

These words stopped Zuo Ningshuang.

Even if she has a crush on Xiao Ruoyun, she can't admit it directly. Otherwise, in front of so many people, wouldn't it be too unreserved and shameless for her beauty?

But if he followed Gu Ruanruan's words and admitted that he was only grateful to Xiao Ruoyun, that would be cutting off the development between himself and Xiao Ruoyun.

Gu Baiyu was very surprised when he heard this.

Gu Ruanruan said this beautifully, why did he suddenly turn around?

But since she calls Zuo Ningshuang sister, she will not let others suffer.

So he smiled and said: "You don't have to say it so absolutely. Once upon a time, I thought that Mr. Hou would be my eldest brother in the future. Who would have thought of becoming husband and wife? This fate is the most mysterious thing. It has its own destiny, not us. It can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.”

His wife spoke, obviously towards Zuo Ningshuang, so Xiao Yanlin naturally wanted to support her.

So she very considerately gave Gu Baiyu a chopstick of her favorite dish, and said gently: "Well, if it weren't for Madam's bravery, we almost missed it. I have to thank Madam for her willingness to abandon the world for me and marry regardless of rumors. But Then again, these rumors are just other people's words for a moment. How your life is going is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold. Our Marquis Mansion has never had those unhealthy rules. I believe in fate, and even more in Madam."

Xiao Yanlin rarely spoke so much.

But what he said was sincere, which not only showed his sincerity, but also made clear his attitude: other people's marriages are determined by fate, and his palace doesn't care about it.

The most important thing is that this "sickness rule" slapped Gu Ruanruan hard in the face.

Isn't that right? Her words of "secular rules" not only excused herself, but also almost harmed Gu Baiyu;

Now, what secular rules does she want to use, such as first come, first served, women's reserve, etc., to blackmail others?

No way!

Sure enough, with Xiao Yanlin's presence, the two Zuo brothers and sisters looked better.

Zuo Ningshuang seemed to be inspired. She filled a glass of wine for herself and Xiao Ruoyun, and then drank it down happily.

"Good!" Gu Baiyu couldn't help but praise, "Master Hou said that your brother has a rare and generous character among literati. I think you, a younger sister, are not bad either!"

Xiao Ruoyun was also very touched and immediately drank all the wine in his glass.

Only Gu Ruanruan seemed to have a very bad expression because the words he had been thinking about for a long time were blocked by someone in a few words.

"As expected, Miss Zuo has a bold personality. I don't think there is any need to drink tea. Ganoderma lucidum, just wait for Miss Zuo to drink."

Zuo Ningshuang did not refuse and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't have any elders in my family. My brother was afraid that I would get distracted by drinking when I went out in the future, so he deliberately trained my drinking capacity. Happy today, Mr. Hou and Xiao... .”

Gu Baiyu said at the right time: "Second Master is not much older than you, so let's call him brother."

Zuo Ningshuang's face turned slightly red: "Master Hou and Brother Xiao are both informal people, so I'll just relax and have a few drinks today!"

After she finished speaking, Gu Ruanruan didn't even come forward anymore. He watched Lingzhi go to serve Zuo Ningshuang, but then retreated to the corner and started eating the food quietly.

After eating like this for a while, Gu Baiyu felt vaguely full, so he put down his chopsticks.

Several men at the table were still chatting, and Gu Baiyu listened quietly. After just watching for a while, Gu Baiyu realized that something was wrong.

Although Xiao Ruoyun doesn't drink as well as Xiao Yanlin, Zuo Ningshuang is not drunk either, so he blushes, right?
