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

Gu Baiyu, on the other hand, really indulged himself, lying on his bed in broad daylight, not wanting to get up and do anything.

When Lingzhi came to report, she just asked her to stand outside and explain the matter clearly through the curtain.

After listening to Lingzhi's narration, Gu Baiyu thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, judging from the second master's attitude, he doesn't intend to pursue it. In that case, just stay in the yard and stay by Aunt Gu's side."

Gu Baiyu sighed, "You don't have to think about standing up for me anymore. Why don't you put some thought into making those two people have a better relationship, so as to avoid causing trouble in the back house every day."

"Since the second master doesn't dislike you, it's a good thing. It's better for the two of you to work hard than for you to work alone. I just hope that Aunt Gu can turn around this corner soon."

That's what Gu Baiyu said, but he was worried about Gu Ruanruan.

This woman does not accept her fate so easily.

So he added another instruction: "You'd better inquire about Aunt Gu's side. If there is anything unusual, you don't have to come to me in person. Just tell Lingyu."

Lingzhi was anxiously waiting for Gu Baiyu to blame her. Unexpectedly, Gu Baiyu did not blame her, so she saluted Gu Baiyu through the curtain and silently left.

……

With Gu Baiyu's beatings, the servants in the mansion have become much calmer. In addition, the servants who cheated and cheated before have been dealt with by Gu Baiyu, and their ears are much cleaner.

Gu Baiyu spent half the day lazily in bed. It was not until dinner time that he got dressed and went out, only to be told by the old housekeeper that Xiao Yanlin would not be back for dinner.

Gu Baiyu didn't ask any questions and finished the dinner alone. After that, he asked the old housekeeper to send some things to Gu Ruanruan.

"Although it is a punishment, after all, she is the aunt in the house, so she should not be too harsh. There must be no shortage of food and supplies."

Gu Baiyu didn't have such a kind heart. She felt sorry for Gu Ruanruan, but she just didn't want others to say that she criticized her concubine sister harshly.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a family after all, and she also has to consider her reputation.

Both sisters knew this very well, so when the old housekeeper took someone to deliver things to Gu Ruanruan, Gu Ruanruan just sneered.

Licorice took the things from the old housekeeper, took a look at them, and felt relieved as usual.

She was afraid that Madam would be angry and treat her harshly in these aspects.

But looking at Ruan Ruan's ungrateful look, Licorice hesitated for a moment and asked, "Auntie, don't you want to eat now?"

Gu Ruanruan sat at the table: "Eat, why don't you eat? Since she wants to pretend to be sisters with me, I will accompany her to the end!"

If she doesn't cooperate with Gu Baiyu, when can she go out?

The old housekeeper saw all this and sighed secretly in his heart.

In his opinion, Gu Baiyu, the head mother of the family, was already tolerant enough. It was Gu Ruanruan who was too pampered at home and acted erratically and out of order, so he couldn't think of things for a while.

However, he hoped for peace in the Hou Mansion, so he didn't say anything to Gu Baiyu after he left.

Needless to say, Gu Baiyu can figure it out just by thinking about it.

At night, Xiao Yanlin came back.

It was already late at night. Gu Baiyu had been lying lazily all day, but he didn't feel sleepy. When he saw someone coming back, he got up and undressed him.

Xiao Yanlin raised his hand obediently and asked Gu Baiyu to help him. After she put her clothes aside, he said, "I went to my father-in-law today."

Gu Baiyu paused as he put his clothes down: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's still a matter of the Ministry of Industry. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should talk to my father-in-law. He has been in power for many years, and the relationship between these official factions is much clearer than mine. It is better to be cautious."

Xiao Yanlin would tell Prime Minister Gu about the Ministry of Works. Gu Baiyu was not surprised or angry.

She didn't think this was causing trouble for her natal family, but she felt that Xiao Yanlin really regarded them as a family.

This matter is no small matter, and I should say hello to Prime Minister Gu.

Besides, he probably already knew his father's character.

"What did dad say?"

"I didn't say much. I just said that if you need anything, you can tell him. But he looked very happy and even asked me to drink a few drinks."

Gu Baiyu came closer and sniffed gently, and indeed smelled the faint aroma of wine.

Gu Baiyu was happy. It seemed that her father had the same idea as her, and she was also happy because Xiao Yanlin regarded them as a family.

"I just had a sudden thought on the way back. I didn't call you because it was getting late. If you miss them, I will accompany you in person another day."

Gu Baiyu put down her clothes and shook her head, "How can a married daughter go back to her parents' home every three days? Besides, everything is fine here, so why go back?"

Xiao Yanlin turned around and said, "I told you a long time ago that there is no need to pay attention to these things. If you miss your parents, just go back. Besides, my mother-in-law also said today that Concubine Zhou will hold a banquet in the palace in a few days, and she wants you to go with her."

Gu Baiyu was shocked for a moment: "Why didn't I know?"

She has a good relationship with Concubine Zhou, so she will definitely be invited to the palace banquet.

Xiao Yanlin smiled and took out a post from his arms.

"The father-in-law who delivered the post went to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. When I encountered him, he gave it to me directly."

Gu Baiyu took it, read the content of the post at a glance, and raised his eyebrows.

The post said that everyone was invited to the palace to enjoy the flowers.

It was said to be for flower viewing, but Xiao Yanlin was also invited in the post, and even Xiao Ruoyun was included in it. This was really strange.

If Concubine Zhou had made the decision, it would have been impossible for her foreign man to enter the harem.

Since there are these people in the list, the emperor must also know about it.

I don’t know whether this banquet in the name of flower viewing is to entertain the female family members, or whether the emperor has other things to attend to...

Gu Baiyu had been very sensitive recently because of the affairs of the Ministry of Works, so he immediately asked, "Is it because His Majesty is suspicious of the affairs of the Ministry of Works and wants to use this banquet to make trouble?"

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. How can the matters of the previous dynasty be moved to the harem to resolve..."

Xiao Yanlin looked at her confused look, smiled and pinched her cheek.

Gu Baiyu opened his hand angrily.

"Don't always pinch my face like you're teasing a child!"

"You are more than ten years younger than me, so aren't you just a child?"

Xiao Yanlin put down his hand: "I also got some information. In addition to the major aristocratic families, there is also the newly promoted number one scholar on the list of invitations tomorrow."

"Could it be Zuo Lingfeng who is in full swing?" Gu Baiyu asked.

Xiao Yanlin nodded.

This Zuo Lingfeng has a great background.

Born in a poor family, he has won three yuan in a row, so he is a person who is at the peak of his fortune this year.

And although this man came from a poor family, his character was not rigid, and the emperor liked him very much.

Gu Baiyu thought about it and had only one idea.

Having invited so many male guests and female relatives...could it be that the emperor wanted to propose marriage to the number one scholar?

Gu Baiyu said his guess, Xiao Yanlin shook his head, "Don't think so much, you will know when the time comes."
