After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 18 Gathering Wool
Gu Jin and Ruyi searched the yard but didn't find many valuables. Gu Jin was so angry that he complained, "This Anding Marquis's Mansion is really down and out. There's not even a single decent thing in the yard of a dignified young lady."
Ruyi didn't notice anything wrong, instead she comforted Gu Jin with a distressed look, "Young Madam suffered in the past, but you won't have to live like this anymore.
Not to mention that our third son is young and promising, and my wife's family is the richest merchant in Chen State. My wife and son like you so much, your good days are ahead!"
Gu Jin's eyes lit up, "Is the Su family really that rich?"
"Of course!" Ruyi's face was full of pride. "The Su family's business is all over the country of Chen. Even though those nobles always look disdainful when they mention merchants, they are secretly vying to do business with the Su family.
Our mansion is one of the most prestigious in the capital, but our wealth is not as much as what flows out of our lady's fingers!"
Gu Jin held it down and seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that Xie Ran is a rare big client. She has to protect him well and try to get more money from him before the engagement ends.
"Miss, the old lady wants you and the third young master to go to Shou'an Hall for dinner."
When Gu Jin heard the servants report, he remembered that the original owner had a biased grandmother!
Gu Jin stood up and brushed off the dust on her skirt, then said with a smirk, "That's just right, I miss my grandma a little too!"
When Gu Jin and Xie Ran arrived at Shou'an Hall, there was constant laughter in the room. Gu Rou sat next to old lady Liu and said flattering words, which made Liu's round face full of wrinkles, just like a meat bun just out of the oven.
When Gu Jin and the other person came in, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly.
Gu Rou stood up with a smile on her face and said in a tender voice, "Big sister, you are finally here. Grandmother has been looking forward to seeing you!"
Gu Jin sneered in his heart. The old lady didn't like the original owner's biological mother, and she also disliked the original owner's granddaughter.
It would be more like the truth if I hoped she would die soon.
"Gu Jin, why did you come so late? Do you want to starve me to death?" The speaker was Gu Ming, the youngest son of Gu Zhongheng and Li.
Gu Ming has been spoiled by his family since he was young and became lawless. He used to be bossy to his elder sister Gu Jin.
Instead of blaming him, Liu hugged Gu Ming and comforted him, "Ming'er, don't be angry. Grandmother specially asked someone to prepare snacks from Zui Xiang Lou for you. I'll give them all to you in a while."
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Gu Jin coldly, and said sarcastically: "Your elder sister has always been like this, and it's not the first day. You should be more tolerant of her."
In front of Xie Ran, Liu deliberately said that Gu Jin did not follow the rules, without caring at all whether this would make her disliked by her husband's family.
Gu Jin felt a little sorry for the original owner. Fortunately, she was here today, otherwise who could bear being backstabbed in the face by her family?
Gu Jin pursed her lips, looked at Liu with grievance and said, "Grandma, if there is anything wrong with your granddaughter, you can just point it out in private. Why do you have to say it in front of my husband? Aren't you worried that my husband will misunderstand me and alienate me because of this?"
Liu was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Jin to speak so bluntly. This made her seem unkind.
Gu Jin lowered his eyes and said self-pityingly, "But that's true. My parents died young and I'm not as good at talking as my second sister. It's normal that no one likes me."
Gu Rou began to sympathize with Liu. She was very familiar with this feeling.
Gu Jin never speaks in a cheesy way, but he simply doesn't care about other people's lives.
Xie Ran smiled and followed her performance, saying, "How could that be? My grandmother and mother have always praised you for being well-behaved and lovable. How could anyone not like you?"
"Is what my husband said true? Are you not just kidding me?"
"of course not."
Gu Jin blinked, "So those who don't like me have their own problems?"
Xie Ran smiled and nodded, his tone gentle and patient, "Not bad."
Gu Jin finally "smiled through tears", "Then I feel relieved. I used to think that grandma didn't like me, but now it seems that I misunderstood grandma."
The two sang the same tune, and Liu's temples were throbbing with anger, but in front of Xie Ran she could only smile and say, "Of course, the palms and backs of my hands are made of flesh, so it's natural that it wouldn't hurt."
Gu Jin rolled his eyes secretly. It was true that the palms and backs of the hands were made of flesh, but the thickness was different.
Xie Qing looked coldly at Xie Ran and Gu Jin, the husband following their lead, veins popping out on the back of his hands beneath his sleeves.
Li didn't expect Xie Ran to defend Gu Jin so much. She forced a smile and said, "Mother, let's eat first. I'm afraid the children are hungry too."
Perhaps because they were afraid that Gu Jin would say something shocking again, the meal was very harmonious.
But halfway through, Gu Jin wanted to try the snacks from Zui Xiang Lou, but Gu Ming took the plate away from him and made a face at him.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this a typical naughty kid?
After eating and filling her stomach, Liu's health bar was refilled. She looked at Gu Jin with a serious look and said, "Jin'er, you are the eldest daughter of our Anding Marquis's Mansion, so grandma will be a little strict with you."
Gu Jin looked at Liu sincerely, "Grandma, if you want to teach your granddaughter a lesson, just say it directly. There is no need to lay so much groundwork."
Mrs. Liu: "..."
Liu was so angry that she almost forgot what to say. She took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I heard that you were busy packing things in the mansion this morning?"
It is unheard of to move things from your parents' home to your husband's home right after getting married!
"It is true." Gu Jinying said frankly, "Grandma doesn't know that I am nostalgic.
I haven't been able to sleep peacefully in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion these past few days. All I can think about are the little things that happened in the Earl's Mansion. Only today when I returned to Fengwu Courtyard did I feel at ease.
But a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and I can’t always come back, so I thought of taking the things in the house to the Marquis’ Mansion as a reminder.”
Xie Ran lowered his head and sipped his tea. Thinking of Gu Jin's unruly sleeping posture, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
If she doesn't sleep well, no one in the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion will sleep well.
After saying that, she looked at Liu cautiously, "Grandma, is it inappropriate for my granddaughter to do this?"
Of course not!
Gu Jin also has an aunt named Gu Baozhu. Gu Baozhu married to Jiangnan when she was young. She lost her husband half a year ago. Liu felt sorry for her daughter and wanted her to move back to the Bo Mansion. She also planned to vacate Gu Jin's room for her granddaughter Bai Yiyi to live in.
But Gu Jin simply emptied the house, and it would cost a lot of money to fill it up.
Before Liu could speak, Gu Jin said, "Grandma, if you think it's inappropriate, I will put all the things back. Even if I have trouble sleeping and eating in the mansion and become exhausted, I will not disobey you."
Mrs. Liu: "..."
Liu wanted to swear, but what the hell was she supposed to say?
Could he really just ignore her life or death in front of Xie Ran?
Liu glanced at Xie Ran who was sipping tea with his head down and suppressed her anger.
Xie Ran is deeply favored by the emperor. He has survived this disaster and will have a bright future. What's more, the Su family is so rich. She can't offend Xie Ran for the sake of a small loss.
With the support of the Su family in the future, the Bo family will no longer have to worry about not having money to make!
Thinking of this, Liu smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, silly child? It's yours, so take it if you like.
Although I am strict with you, I really love you. Not to mention the things in your courtyard, even if you like my Shou'an Hall, can your grandmother not approve it?"
Gu Jin raised his eyes quickly, and the brilliance in his eyes almost blinded Liu, and she immediately had a bad premonition.
Gu Jin raised his hand and pointed at the blood jade coral placed in the most conspicuous place, smiling so hard that his eyes were crooked, "Thank you, grandma, I just like this!"
