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

Gu Ruanruan was unwilling to give in, but she had learned enough lessons during this period, so she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face.

Xiao Ruoyun was considerate of her kneeling all afternoon and asked her to go back to her room to rest, but Gu Ruanruan still insisted on having dinner together.

When the two of them arrived, Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin had also just arrived. Gu Ruanruan learned his lesson this time and called her "ma'am" with a low eyebrow.

Gu Baiyu nodded in agreement.

The dishes on the table had been placed when they first arrived, and the temperature was just right. When the old butler saw Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu sitting down, he asked someone to bring them some soup before the meal.

Gu Ruanruan originally wanted to sit down, but when he saw that the maids were only short of three bowls of soup, he suddenly froze.

She had always had no rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no distinction between concubine and concubine, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with sitting and eating together with Gu Baiyu.

But now, looking at the soup placed in front of the other three people, she realized that she was in the Hou Mansion and as the aunt, she was not even qualified to sit down.

Xiao Ruoyun was obviously aware of this and felt a little uneasy in his seat. He looked up at Gu Baiyu several times.

He knew that his eldest brother didn't like Gu Ruanruan. If he begged his eldest brother now, he would not let go. He could only test Gu Baiyu's attitude.

However, before Gu Baiyu could speak, Xiao Yanlin raised his head and glanced at him: "What, are there nails on the seat?"

"No, big brother, Ruan Ruan, she..."

"Brother Ruoyun, I'll give you some food." Before Xiao Ruoyun could finish speaking, Gu Ruanruan interrupted him.

She knew that in a conflict with Gu Baiyu at this time, she would not have the upper hand either emotionally or rationally. According to the rules, this was not considered an embarrassment. Instead of having another conflict because of this kind of thing, it was better to retreat in order to advance.

Sure enough, Xiao Ruoyun glanced at Gu Ruanruan, with emotion and pity in his eyes.

After all, it is not appropriate to speak for an aunt and eldest brother.

Gu Baiyu leisurely watched the two of them flirting with each other without saying a word. He just took a sip of the soup handed over by Lingyu.

Gu Ruanruan finally learned a little better now.

Gu Baiyu learned the rules very well and would not talk when eating or sleeping. Xiao Yanlin was not a talkative person either. He would only pick some dishes for her when he saw the dishes that Gu Baiyu liked.

The two of them seemed a little silent, but Xiao Ruoyun and Gu Ruanruan exchanged words in low voices from time to time.

Gu Ruanruan was so gentle and considerate to the extreme. Gu Baiyu even saw a bit of flattery in Xiao Ruoyun's eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

No wonder Xiao Ruoyun was so easily fascinated by Gu Baiyu in his previous life. Xiao Ruoyun's ability to read people was a bit shallow, and his mind was not firm enough.

On the contrary, Xiao Yanlin...

Gu Baiyu looked at the dishes in her bowl. They were all her favorites. Some of them had flavors that Lingyu couldn't even touch so clearly.

There was a smile on her lips. Compared with talking to each other and sweet words, this kind of tenderness was more sincere and she liked it more.

While everyone was eating, Shuanghong stood guard at the door of the dining room.

When everyone finished eating and left, Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yan were walking in front. It was getting dark and the wind was a bit cold. Xiao Ruoyun, who was following behind, subconsciously said: "Lingyu, give Madam that big cloak."

As soon as these words came out, the scene became a little awkward.

Not to mention that Xiao Ruoyun has no position to say such things in front of Xiao Yanlin. Even if he cares, isn't it because he should care about Gu Ruanruan?

Gu Ruanruan was obviously stunned. After a moment, hurt flashed across his eyes. He didn't know whether he was really sad or just pretending. He ignored Xiao Ruoyun and left first.

Xiao Ruoyun became anxious and immediately chased after him. Only Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin were left at the door.

Xiao Yanlin didn't say anything about Xiao Ruoyun's actions just now. He just changed his position and stood on the other side of the wind. In front of everyone, he held Gu Baiyu in his arms and blocked the wind with his body.

This intimate gesture made Gu Baiyu's figure look a little petite in front of the tall Xiao Yanlin, but it looked indescribably harmonious.

The old housekeeper and Lingyu walked behind. Lingyu covered her mouth and talked to the old housekeeper in a low voice: "Master Hou is so protective. I was just worried that Master Hou would be angry because of what the second master said."

"How could it be? Mr. Marquis is not that kind of person. Besides, what the second master just said was inappropriate." The old housekeeper shook his head: "No matter what the second master thought of his wife in the past, she is now the eldest sister-in-law."

After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he seemed to realize that it was not appropriate to say such things outside, so he said: "Thank you, Miss Lingyu, I'm going to wait on you. The Marquis said that my wife will take medicine again today, so I'll go and take a look first."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Lingyu turned around and was about to follow Gu Baiyu back to the main courtyard. Unexpectedly, she heard Shuanghong spitting out, "Bah, shameless!"

Lingyu's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?"

Shuanghong looked at Gu Baiyu's back and said bitterly: "I said she is shameless! The Marquis and the Second Master used to have a deep relationship as brothers, but now they have a rift because of a woman and are trying to play both sides between the two brothers. It's shameless!"

When Lingyu heard this, she gave her a sharp backhand slap——

"Snapped!"

Shuanghong covered her face and looked at her in disbelief: "Why do you hit me?!"

Lingyu glanced at Gu Baiyu.

When Xiao Yan came to Gu Baiyu's side, she only followed him from a distance. At this time, the two people in front of him had already walked far away, heading towards the corner of the corridor, so they naturally couldn't hear Shuang Hong's curse.

Lingyu did not follow, but stepped forward to cover Shuanghong's mouth and led the person back.

The servant who was following raised her hand to stop her, but Lingyu said with a stern expression: "You all live in the Hou Mansion. What are you doing as servants? You all know in your heart that Miss Shuanghong's mouth is going to get into trouble if you don't take care of it." , It doesn’t matter if she makes a mistake alone, it’s not good if it affects everyone.”

Several of the servants actually felt that Shuang Hong had gone too far, thinking that the maid next to the madam was trying to teach someone a lesson, so they didn't dare to join in.

However, there was one person who really liked Lingyu's temperament and reminded her: "Miss Lingyu, Miss Shuanghong has a special status. If you have anything to say, please speak to her."

Lingyu accepted his sentiment and nodded: "I know, I have my own sense of discretion."

After saying that, he dragged Lingyu towards the courtyard where the servants lived.

Shuanghong couldn't help but struggle, but Lingyu was determined to teach others a lesson, and her strength did not decrease, showing no intention of relaxing.

Gu Baiyu was a little surprised when he walked to the main courtyard and saw Lingyu not following him.

Xiao Yan saw her expression and said, "Maybe I have something to do."

In fact, Xiao Yanlin heard what Shuang Hong said just now. He was a martial arts practitioner. Although he was far away, he heard clearly. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but Ling Yu simply slapped her in the air and let her go.

When he was here, he could protect Gu Baiyu, but when he was away, he hoped that Gu Baiyu would be tougher in the Hou Mansion.

Lingyu is the eldest maid next to Gu Baiyu, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to use this to establish authority. Lingyu represents Gu Baiyu, and it is time to let the people in the house know who will be the master of the house in the future.

When Gu Baiyu heard what he said, he thought thoughtfully when he thought of Xiao Ruoyun's words just now and the frosty red face waiting at the door. ,

After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Lingyu will go too far?"

Xiao Yan didn't let go of Gu Baiyu's hand when he came into the house. Instead, he held her tighter: "It's better to make things worse. I'll support her when the time comes."

Gu Baiyu smiled.

Yes, everyone has to see how fierce Lingyu is. Xiao Yanlin comes out to support her again, and everyone knows that the person behind Lingyu is Gu Baiyu, and the person behind Gu Baiyu is Xiao Yanlin.

As the saying goes, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, if Xiao Yan is by his side to protect him, Gu Baiyu can re-establish the rules for the people in the house.
