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

Upon hearing Gu Baiyu's question, the old housekeeper quickly explained: "Shuanghong is the maid in the mansion."

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, thinking of how much Xiao Yanlin valued Gu Baiyu, so he chose to tell Gu Baiyu about Shuanghong's identity.

Shuanghong is indeed a maid of the Hou Mansion, but her status is somewhat special.

Shuanghong's brother was once a soldier beside Xiao Yanlin. He was seriously injured when he followed Xiao Yanlin on the battlefield. Before he died, he mentioned that both his parents had died and he had only one younger sister. He hoped to give the salary and money he had saved over the years to her after his death.

The soldier was seriously injured at the time, and he fought tooth and nail just for his sister. Xiao Yanlin appreciated his kindness and righteousness, so after returning to Beijing, he ordered the old housekeeper to deliver the money in person.

However, half a month later, Xiao Yanlin saw a scarred and unconscious Shuanghong in front of the Hou Mansion.

After rescuing her, she learned that her relatives saw her as a widowed girl and inherited her brother's money, so they banded together to oppress her. Shuanghong was unable to defeat her vicious relatives, and she had no choice but to arrive at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Later, Xiao Yanlin naturally took care of those poor relatives for her.

Originally, the matter should have ended here, but at that time Xiao Yanlin won several battles and repelled the invasion of enemy countries, but it also touched the interests of some people in the DPRK.

Xiao Yanlin was not in the limelight at that time, which aroused the jealousy of some people in the court. There were vague rumors that Xiao Yanlin was a murderer, and that he was the reincarnation of Shura. At that time, Shuanghong fainted in front of the Hou Mansion. Later, Xiao Yanlin acted righteously and caused quite a fuss. , the old housekeeper thought for a while, and simply said, why not help others to the end, and leave the poor Shuanghong in the Hou Mansion, which can also change Xiao Yanlin's image.

Xiao Yanlin agreed, but he was not a kind-hearted person, and he made it very clear when he let people into the house. He was just a servant in the house, and the contract he signed was a living contract. She could leave whenever she wanted.

Later, Shuanghong was very cunning in the house and regarded Xiao Yanlin as her savior. Xiao Yanlin did not allow her to serve her personally, so she stayed outside the yard without any overstep. However, the few servants who served were not as considerate as women, so Shuanghong gave some advice. After several visits, the old housekeeper saw that she was considerate and did not do anything out of the ordinary, so he simply let her stay in the main courtyard.

The old housekeeper was afraid that Gu Baiyu would misunderstand, so he explained: "I just do some work of serving tea and pouring water, and I don't personally serve him. The Marquis has been in the army for a long time, and he rarely has anyone serve him personally. He does it all by himself."

Gu Baiyu nodded: "I understand. By the way, there was a big banquet in the mansion yesterday. Why didn't I see her?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "A few days ago it was the anniversary of her brother's death. His brother was buried in his hometown. It takes about seven days to go back and forth from the Marquis' Mansion. Therefore, he did not catch up with the wedding banquet of Madam and the Marquis. He only returned home early this morning."

Seeing Gu Baiyu's detailed question, the old housekeeper changed his mind and asked tentatively: "Madam, now that the Marquis has a good wife, why don't I arrange Shuanghong to work in the outer courtyard."

He was negligent in this matter. The Marquis was surrounded by servants, so unexpectedly there was such a good-looking maid in front of him. This was a newlywed, so it was normal for his wife to be displeased.

But Gu Baiyu didn't show any displeasure, "No need, since I still have this identity, as long as I am a human being, I can be the same as before."

The old housekeeper got the order and left after seeing that everything in the house was handed over very well.

After the old housekeeper left, Lingyu changed Gu Baiyu's cold tea and mentioned what she had seen before.

"My servant thinks that this Shuanghong is not a good person. I saw that she looked at you very strangely before, and she also knocked over the medicine bowl later. It was clearly done on purpose in front of the Marquis."

Gu Baiyu wiped off the pastry crumbs on her fingertips, and then said slowly: "I don't know why she is hostile to me, but only by keeping people close to me can I know what she wants to do. As long as she does her job well, there is no need to embarrass her. She has a special status , we are new to the Hou Mansion, so it is better to be cautious."

To be honest, Gu Baiyu had no impression of this woman named Shuang Hongde at all.

In her previous life, she was not liked by Xiao Ruoyun in the house and was unhappy. Most of the maids and servants she came into contact with were those in Xiao Ruoyun's yard. In addition, Xiao Yanlin rarely went home at that time, either going to the battlefield or staying in the army. Gu Baiyu really didn't notice him. There is such a maid.

However, now that they have met now, Gu Baiyu doesn't feel much. The back house of the prime minister's house is peaceful, but she is not a fool. Mrs. Gu has mentioned all the things about the back house when she was in the boudoir. Now that they met, Gu Baiyu also Don't panic.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Baiyu stood up and said, "Let's go see the Marquis and ask how the dinner is being arranged."

Nowadays, the most important thing of the day in people's homes is dinner, which is usually attended by the whole family, especially in large families. In some prosperous families, there are distinctions between direct descendants and concubines, and the dinner arrangements are not at the same table. , the dishes are even more exquisite.

It is embarrassing to say that she paid very little attention to Xiao Yanlin's affairs in her previous life. When she was still in good health, she rarely met Xiao Yanlin. Now that she thinks about it, Xiao Yanlin hurried back to the military camp after having tea on the second day of their marriage. Later, she rarely went home and did not sit down. dined together;

Later, she became ill and rarely went out of the yard. Xiao Yanlin often appeared in front of her until she could no longer get out of bed...

Now that she has just entered the Hou Mansion, she is still unclear about these things. Now that there is Xiao Ruoyun, a concubine, and Gu Ruanruan, a new aunt, she really needs to ask Xiao Yanlin about his arrangements.

Thinking like this, his steps became faster.

Walking through the handwriting corridor of the Hou Mansion, I unexpectedly ran into Xiao Ruoyun who was coming in a hurry.

When Xiao Ruoyun saw Gu Baiyu, her eyes were a little dodgey: "Sister-in-law."

Gu Baiyu looked calm: "Well, dinner is about to be served, what are you..."

Xiao Ruoyun looked away, her tone a little weak: "I went to the ancestral hall, and I made her kneel outside the ancestral hall all afternoon. The sun is shining brightly today, so I'll go take a look now."

Gu Baiyu raised his eyebrows.

In the morning, Xiao Ruoyun called Aunt Gu Ruan Ruan in a stern tone. Now she has become Ruan Ruan?

Sure enough, Xiao Ruoyun looked a little unnatural: "I know she came late today, broke the rules, and was quite inappropriate when serving tea, but she is a woman after all. If she really asks for help from the Hou family, she won't be able to bear it. ..."

Gu Baiyu felt relieved. Gu Ruanruan didn't know what he said to Xiao Ruoyun. He should have coaxed Xiao Ruoyun now. The so-called punishment was only an afternoon, and now he was excusing Gu Ruanruan in his words.

But this is not surprising. Xiao Ruoyun has a troubled personality and is extremely soft-hearted. It is not surprising that such a person with soft ears and his past friendship with Gu Ruanruan would be coaxed into changing his mind.

Gu Baiyu felt interesting in his heart, could this be the power of the book in the dark? The male protagonist and the female protagonist are destined to be entangled. No matter how unreliable Gu Ruanruan is, he can still coax the male protagonist Xiao Ruoyun back.

Seeing that Gu Baiyu didn't speak, Xiao Ruoyun thought she was angry and said sarcastically: "If sister-in-law thinks the punishment is too light, I..."

Gu Baiyu came back to her senses and shook her head: "No, since she married you, her status is no longer what it used to be. Now she is your concubine first, and my concubine secondly. As long as the second master feels that The punishment is appropriate."

The more Gu Baiyu said this, the more Xiao Ruoyun felt ashamed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will discipline you well in the future."

After bidding farewell to Xiao Ruoyun, Gu Baiyu went to the study room of the Hou Mansion. She did not go in directly, but asked the servant to pass the news first.

Xiao Yanlin had already finished his work. After receiving the news, he hurried out: "Why don't you go in?"

Gu Baiyu smiled lightly: "Master Hou is busy with business in the study, what should I do if I go in? I am a woman who lives in the back house and I don't understand those things."

When she said this, Xiao Yanlin understood that Gu Baiyu was avoiding suspicion, fearing that there was something important in the study that would not be convenient for Gu Baiyu to enter.

"It doesn't matter. You can come in and out of any place in the Marquis Mansion at will. Remember, this is your home now."

Xiao Yanlin raised his hand and brushed away a strand of hair from her temples: "Also, call me husband."

Gu Baiyu didn't know why Xiao Yanlin was so obsessed with this title. He just shook his head: "I still call you master and husband outside...it's not solemn."

Xiao Yanlin chuckled lightly and did not force it: "Okay, let's save it for other places."

In the important place of the study, Lingyu stayed far away and did not follow her to join in the fun. She just didn’t know what Xiao Yanlin said. When the two came over, Lingyu saw Gu Baiyu’s face turning red and hurriedly went up to meet her: “Madam, the sun is shining brightly in the evening. Is it in the sun?"

Gu Baiyu did not answer Lingyu's question, but instead asked about the dinner arrangements.

"The Marquis Mansion is not that particular. Ruoyun also dines with me, but if you don't like it, I'll let him have a separate table."

Gu Baiyu refused: "Then just follow the previous rules."

The two of them walked hand in hand to the dining room, and Xiao Ruoyun also arrived at the ancestral hall.

Gu Ruanruan heard the noise and looked up to see Xiao Ruoyun coming. He was extremely happy: "Brother Ruoyun, you are here!"

As she said that, she was about to get up. As soon as she got up, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Xiao Ruoyun quickly stepped forward to help her: "Slower, but your knee hurts?"

A flash of distress flashed in Xiao Ruoyun's eyes. When Gu Ruanruan saw it, he felt that kneeling for half a day today was worth it. He pretended to have red eyes: "I'm fine. It was Master Hou who personally sent the message to punish him. As long as Brother Ruoyun doesn't stay with Hou." If you are in trouble in front of me, it will be fine if I kneel down for a while."

After saying that, the little bird snuggled into Xiao Ruoyun's arms like a human being.

Where Xiao Ruoyun couldn't see, a glint flashed in Gu Ruanruan's eyes.

Today she thought it would be Gu Baiyu who would deal with her personally, but unexpectedly it was Xiao Ruoyun who came.

She and Xiao Ruoyun have known each other for a long time. In the past, she only relied on Xiao Ruoyun's indulgence and was arrogant. Now she has seen her situation clearly and behaved.

She knew that Xiao Ruoyun was soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. After all the servants left, she gave in to Xiao Ruoyun, suffered a miserably, and accepted the punishment obediently. Xiao Ruoyun really softened her heart.

It seems to be quite effective now.

As long as she wins Xiao Ruoyun's heart, she can slowly gain a foothold in the house in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruanruan asked casually: "I made my wife angry this morning. I don't know if she has calmed down."

Xiao Ruoyun consoled her: "I met her just now and told her about your punishment. My sister-in-law was not angry. She was checking with the housekeeper today about the affairs of the house. She must be tired. Please don't... .”

"I know, I know, I really know I was wrong, and I will be filial to my elder brother and sister-in-law from now on!"

Gu Ruanruan looked serious on his face, but in fact he was gritting his teeth in his heart.

Gu Baiyu was more valued by Xiao Yanlin than she thought. On the first day of their wedding, he handed over the power of the housekeeper to her!

In this way, how can she have a foothold in the future? Is it possible that she is really willing to be a concubine and earn a living under Gu Baiyu like a servant? !
