After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

It was getting dark when the two returned to the Marquis' Mansion. This was all thanks to Mo Yin who had specially found a desolate and remote place.

But Mo Yin didn't quite understand why his master glared at him even though he was so thoughtful.

Could it be that you think that place is not secret enough?

It seems that he will have to go around the outskirts of Beijing when he has free time next time in case of emergency.

The two of them first returned to Songhe Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Huo, but unexpectedly, Xie Qing and Gu Rou were also there.

Xie Qing's face was grim, and he said quietly, "Third brother, you still remembered to come back. I thought you were going to stay out today."

They had already had dinner, but Xie Ran and the others had not returned yet, so Xie Qing had not left.

He had a cold face and didn't say anything, but it was pitiful for Gu Rou who racked her brains to say flattering words to Mrs. Huo, and she was so tired that she felt that her dinner was wasted.

Xie Ran ignored Xie Qing's sarcasm and presented the packed snacks to Mrs. Huo, "Grandma, these are the snacks that Jin'er packed specially for you."

Gu Jin was a little surprised. It turned out that he had specially prepared these snacks for her to please her grandmother.

Mrs. Huo opened the food box with a smile and said kindly, "Jin'er is so thoughtful. My favorite is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Zui Xiang Lou."

How could Mrs. Huo not know that this was Xie Ran's idea? After all, Gu Jingang had just married into the family and how could she know her taste? But she was happy to see the young couple in love.

Gu Rou was filled with resentment. She had been talking to Mrs. Huo for the entire night, but in the end, that little bitch Gu Jin came back to buy some snacks to win people's hearts. How despicable!

Gu Rou rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my grandmother also likes to eat this osmanthus cake, but she can never buy it.

If you can bring some back to grandma next time you go home, she will definitely be happy."

The implication is that Gu Jin has no filial piety towards his grandmother and is just pretending.

"Really?" Gu Jin opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise, "I saw that grandma always saved all the snacks from Zui Xiang Lou for my fourth brother to eat, and I thought she didn't like them."

After saying that, she lowered her eyes somewhat apologetically and said, "Come to think of it, today was also my first time eating dim sum at Zui Xiang Lou. I accidentally ate too much and my husband laughed at me."

The eldest daughter of the noble family has never even tasted the snacks at Zui Xiang Lou, so you can imagine what kind of life she leads in the mansion.

Gu Rou's face changed slightly and she wanted to explain something, but then she saw Mrs. Huo holding Gu Jin's hand and scolding Xie Ran, "Being able to eat is a blessing. When I was your age, my appetite was bigger than your grandfather's. Who dares to laugh at me!

Look at this child, he is as thin as a kitten. From now on, whatever delicious food I have will be given to you. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I will beat him up."

On the surface, Huo was teaching Xie Ran a lesson on behalf of Gu Jin, but in fact, she was also secretly warning Xie Qing and Gu Rou.

Gu Jin is her granddaughter-in-law now, so she shouldn't apply the customs of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion to the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that Mrs. Huo was protecting Gu Jin, Gu Rou became so angry that her face twisted.

It would be fine if Xie Ran and Su protected Gu Jin, but why did even the old lady favor Gu Jin!

"Yuci." Mrs. Huo called the maid beside her.

Yu Ci came over holding a tray with a pair of transparent and lustrous white jade bracelets on it.

"You will go to the palace to pay respect to Concubine Wan tomorrow. This pair of bracelets was given by the late emperor. I will give them to you two."

Concubine Wan Xie Sirong is the legitimate daughter of the Huo family and the aunt of Xie Ran and Xie Qing.

Mrs. Huo knew that there were many rumors about the marriage in the Marquis' Mansion. The pair of bracelets expressed the Marquis' Mansion's approval of the two brides, so as to prevent them from being criticized.

"Thank you, grandma." Gu Jin smiled and responded crisply.

Gu Jin has always accepted things for free, and this bracelet is obviously not an ordinary item. She will take all these things away with her when she and Xie Ran separate in the future.

If Xie Ran dared to disagree, then I'm sorry, she could only give him a dose of poison.

She saved his life, and if it got in her way she would have to take it back.

Gu Rou looked at the two identical jade bracelets with dissatisfaction in her heart. Xie Qing was the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, and the gift that Mrs. Huo gave her should have been more generous.

"Grandma, this bracelet is made of the finest white jade, and it was given by the emperor. Only you are worthy of such a treasure. It would be a waste of talent if you gave it to your granddaughter-in-law." Gu Rou flattered Mrs. Huo diligently and declined politely.

She glanced at Gu Jin with pride. She thought Gu Jin had become smarter, but it turned out he was still as stupid as ever.

She just wanted to let the Huo family see who has the more noble demeanor!

Mrs. Huo smiled and said gently, "I am old, and I am not suitable for such white jade.

A gift from an elder cannot be refused, so just accept it with peace of mind."

In fact, compared to Gu Rou's politeness, Huo prefers Gu Jin's frankness. There is no need to be hypocritical among family members.

Gu Rou wanted to say something, but Gu Jin said slowly, "If you are really embarrassed to accept it, I can do it for you..."

Before Gu Jin could finish speaking, Gu Rou hurriedly picked up the bracelet and put it on her wrist, as if she was afraid that Gu Jin would snatch it away if she was a moment late. After all, the painful lesson of losing the ruby ​​headpiece was still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't bear this loss again.

Gu Jin curved his lips, "Isn't this what Second Sister really wants?"

Gu Rou blushed and defended herself, "This is my grandmother's wish, how can I go against it?"

Gu Jin curled his lips. This little green tea girl just loves to pretend!

After leaving Songhe Hall, Gu Rou couldn't help but complain to Xie Qing about Huo's partiality, but Xie Qing suddenly asked, "Gu Jin has really never eaten the dim sum at Zui Xiang Lou?"
