Gu Jingxi rushed to his old mother's side. His mother and daughter-in-law were halfway through their meal. He immediately sat down and asked the maid to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing that he came here at this hour, Mrs. Gu was a little confused: "Yao Ling, why did you come here at this hour? Did you come back late today?"

Gu Jingxi replied truthfully: "I thought Ayao went to live with the eldest sister-in-law or second sister-in-law. Later I learned that Ayao came to your place and didn't go back for dinner, so I came over."

Meng Jinyao was surprised: "I told the maids to come to my mother's place, didn't they tell you?"

Gu Jingxi said: "As I said, the previous maid remembered it wrong, and the other maid's words will be accurate at meal time."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao didn't ask any more questions. She was almost full at this time, so she picked up the serving chopsticks and gave him food.

Suddenly, Mrs. Gu mentioned her family: "Yao Ling, your uncle will return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work. Do you think you can let him stay in the capital? He is nearly sixty years old and it is not appropriate to leave his hometown again. Yesterday I received His letter said that he didn’t care about official position or idleness, he just wanted to be closer to his relatives.”

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi pondered for a moment and then nodded: "I will move around for uncle when the time comes."

Mrs. Gu sighed softly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't know how your uncle is doing now. When he wrote back, he always said everything was fine."

Speaking of her mother's family, Mrs. Gu felt a little sad. In fact, she not only had an elder brother, but also a younger brother, but he was no longer alive. Due to the earth dragon turning over, his younger brother, sister-in-law and two children died on the same day. Her parents were white-haired. The black-haired man was deeply shocked and his body was deteriorating. While his brother was grieving, the pressure suddenly increased several times.

Her sister-in-law is her cousin, her brother's cousin. She grew up with her brother as childhood sweethearts. They have a deep relationship and are very loving after marriage. They gave birth to a daughter in the second year after marriage. The daughter is extremely beautiful, but she is stupid. of.

After the sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, she did not conceive again for many years. The elder brother was the only one left to inherit the family. The elders urged her to take concubines. For the sake of their children, the sister-in-law also urged her brother to take concubines. However, the brother only cared about his sister-in-law and did not agree. Taking a concubine, the couple took good care of their foolish daughter.

In order to give her brother a child, my sister-in-law saw many doctors and drank a lot of medicine, but she just couldn't get pregnant again. She drank too much medicine and ruined her stomach. My brother was so distressed that he didn't allow his sister-in-law to take any more medicine. Medicine, let everything take its course.

God has mercy on me. When my brother was forty-three years old, my forty-one-year-old sister-in-law became pregnant with a child. The following year, she gave birth to a son. This son was smart, but a little weak. He would get sick if he was not careful. However, he was raised carefully and there was no big problem. He is now fourteen years old.

The father who was lingering on the bed saw his newborn grandson, who also passed away a month later. He passed away peacefully because he saw that there was a successor in the family.

After dinner, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi chatted with Mrs. Gu for a while and then went back.

Meng Jinyao asked softly: "Husband, why do I feel that something is wrong with my mother's mood after mentioning my uncle?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Maybe I'm thinking of my uncle."

Meng Jinyao didn't know much about her mother-in-law's natal family. After all, they were not in the capital and she had never seen them before. She asked, "What happened to my uncle?"

Gu Jingxi told her about her grandfather's family in a concise and concise manner, and finally said: "Although my cousin is forty years old this year, she is still like a child of several years old. After meeting her, you can treat her as a child."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "Husband, I understand." After a moment, she added, "My uncle is a rare and deep lover. If it had been anyone else, he would have taken a concubine long ago. After all, for many men, heirs are top-notch." event."

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he thought of his father. His mother had been married to his father for three years and had not gotten pregnant. Her grandmother was very unhappy. Her mother said that her grandmother had asked his father to divorce his wife several times and marry another one. However, his father did not divorce his wife, but stopped her. After drinking the concubine's anti-child soup, the two concubines soon became pregnant and gave birth to his eldest brother and second brother.

My father was happy, but he didn't blame my mother for being unable to have children. However, my grandmother was even more dissatisfied with her mother after having two grandsons from a concubine. She pushed against her, and the two aunts overtly and covertly ridiculed her. The pressure on my mother became even greater. , I often couldn't sleep at night, and I went to the doctor but couldn't get pregnant.

My father asked my mother to stop seeing doctors and tormenting her body with all sorts of medicines. He said he wanted to put his eldest brother in his mother's name. However, his aunt often told her that she could not have children. How could her mother be willing to put her eldest brother in her own name?

Later, the mother gave up the idea of ​​having a child, but one day she was diagnosed with pregnancy and gave birth to him in the tenth year after her marriage to her father.

He replied: "When it comes to children, the more anxious you are, the slower the child will come. Sometimes it is better to let things take their own course."

Not long after, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao returned to the courtyard.

When Xia Zhu saw them coming back, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously observed the faces of the two masters. She was relieved when she saw that the two masters were talking and laughing without showing a trace of displeasure.

Seeing this, Chunliu reminded him in a low voice: "Xia Zhu, we are servants, please don't stare at the master."

Hearing this, Xia Zhu lowered his eyes.

-

In the next few days, Xia Zhuan calmed down and did not create opportunities to appear in front of Gu Jingxi again where Meng Jinyao could not see him.

Chunliu had been observing her carefully these past few days, and was relieved to see that she didn't act like a monster again. It would be better if she woke up soon. They had been in love for many years, and she really didn't want Xia Zhu to end up in trouble.

For this reason, Chunliu said to her quite happily: "Xia Zhu, just think about it. Madam is kind to others. If you meet the man you like in the future and ask Madam, she will definitely agree." .”

Xia Zhu said softly "Hmm".

Chunliu said again: "It's getting late, let's rest first."

However, Chunliu still overestimated her awareness, and she only calmed down temporarily. After finding an opportunity, she acted again.

That night, the sound of a tea cup falling to the ground and breaking was heard in Wei Ruixuan's study, followed by Gu Jingxi's angry voice, and then Xia Zhu, disheveled, was driven out of the study by Gu Jingxi.

The maids and wives who were close in the yard heard the commotion and rushed over. They saw Xia Zhu coming out of the study with her clothes covered.

Xia Zhu was about to leave, and when she saw that someone else had encountered such a scandal, she became even more panicked. For a moment, her mind went blank, her eyes filled with tears, and she stood there, her body trembling with panic.

When everyone saw this, they could guess the reason. In this case, Xia Zhu could not climb out of bed and was kicked out by the Marquis.

In fact, it’s not just Xia Zhu?

Now that the Marquis has recovered from his illness and his wife is pregnant, many maids have their own thoughts. However, seeing that the Marquis loves his wife so much and is very clingy, the Marquis chases her when she goes to see the old lady. , no one dares to act rashly.

Who would have thought that Xia Zhu, who seemed calm, would be the first to take action?
