Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Xiangxiang walked to the front yard and called Gu Chengyan to go back with her. Gu Chengyan was a little surprised. Why did she leave before Xie Zhaozhao?

But he didn't say it. He looked at her gently and affectionately and said, "Let's go. I just have something to do."

Xie Xiangxiang received such an ideal opportunity, and her originally uneasy heart calmed down and a smile appeared on her face.

"Gu Lang," after getting on the carriage, she took the initiative to hold Gu Chengyan's hand and said emotionally, "You are the only one I have."

Gu Chengyan stroked her hair like a spoiled child and asked, "Why do you say these things?"

"My mother and grandmother said that now that I am married, I must put my husband first. This time when I return, I will treat it as if I had just left home. From now on, my heart will be completely focused on my husband's family."

Gu Chengyan smiled and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have taught me very well. I will treat you wholeheartedly and we will live a good life."

Xie Xiangxiang held his hand. At this moment, she felt that except for his inhumanity, Gu Chengyan was really good in every way.

The sound of carriages and horses was just like her determination to burn her boats.

She wanted to get the letter to Ji Gulang as soon as possible to help her husband become the first-class Duke of Yi ahead of time.

As soon as she left, Xie Anfeng issued a ban. Both Xu and Xie Tingting were taken to the family temple to practice and were not allowed to leave without permission.

Xu's yard was thoroughly searched.

Lu Yi was beaten to death, and his family's indentures were returned to them and driven out of the mansion.

For the Xie family, which had always treated their servants kindly, driving a servant out was a more serious crime than selling him off in other families. After all, it was very difficult to find such a good master.

After the second and third wives left, the old lady held Xie Zhaozhao's hand and said in tears: "The family was not well managed, and Zhaozhao was wronged."

She was almost wrongly accused today.

"I also want to thank you for your cooperation, grandma. If you hadn't told me that the servants' indentures were in your hands, Lv Yi might not have confessed today." Xie Zhaozhao said sincerely, "Grandma and I are of the same mind."

"As soon as you said that I had the indentures, I knew you were trying to trick her. Fortunately, Han Qi exposed them earlier, and the Xu family got flustered and thought that I had really gotten them all."

"Grandma is wise. All is fair in war. Old ginger is always wise!"

Xie Zhaozhao still reminded, "Mother doesn't know where the poison came from, so we should investigate it thoroughly. There are many people in the mansion, and there are people with all kinds of thoughts. It's hard to guard against them. If something hurts the foundation, we should take the opportunity to clean it up."

At this point, she seemed to say casually: "Including Aunt Qu, let's check them all."

Xie Anfeng seemed to understand something and nodded: "Don't worry, father will take this matter to heart."

Xie Zhaozhao rested his head on the old lady's shoulder and said, "Grandma, father, I'm going back now. The elder and I will come back together when we are free."

"That's great, that's great." The old lady was sad and happy. Her granddaughter had only stayed at home for half a day and hadn't even come to her for a kiss!

Gu Shaoyu saw her coming out and subconsciously asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"

"much better."

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu first went to the old lady's Ci'en Courtyard.

I brought a few boxes of the best Bijian bean cakes and white rice cakes that my grandmother brought to me, and also brought a few boxes for the old lady.

The old lady looked at the cake and praised it highly: "You are so polite, my dear. Is this a recipe from the palace?"

Xie Zhaozhao said, "It was made by the chef in the mansion according to the recipe in the palace. My grandmother loves it the most, so she asked me to bring some to mother."

The Xie family hired a chef to make these snacks.

Take the Bijian Bean Cake for example. The ingredients are carefully selected top-quality white kidney beans, mung beans from Xiandou Country, Wuyi Xuanping lotus seeds, and Lin'an Longjing tea leaves.

The fullest mung beans are selected, soaked for 20 hours to be naturally peeled, steamed in a bamboo basket over low heat, repeatedly ground and sieved, and then the fine tea powder ground from Longjing before the rain is added. After several processes, it is finally pressed into shape in a hand-made mold.

It is completely different from the greasy mung bean cakes we usually eat.

The old lady listened to the ingredients and process as if she was listening to a mystery, and said with a smile: "I got this cake from Emperor Hui when the old marquis was here."

The wealth of the Xie Mansion cannot be compared to that of the Marquis Mansion.

When Xie Zhaozhao returned to Qingpu Courtyard, Gu Shaoyu dragged her to the pool to play in the water. When she came out, her whole body was limp.

She knew that she couldn't let this person get close to her.

After being carried out by Gu Shaoyu, she lay on the bed, feeling tender and unwilling to speak.

Gu Shaoyu didn't know who he instructed at the door. Not long after, Nanxing came back with a food box containing several exquisite dishes.

Crab stuffed with orange, crab soup, lychee and white kidney... and a cup of warm milk.

Xie Zhaozhao was tortured so badly by him that she was too tired to talk.

Gu Shaoyu pulled her up and coaxed her to eat a little: "It's still a long night, you need to eat something, otherwise you won't have the strength."

Xie Zhaozhao really wanted to say, what do I need to do with so much strength?

But she didn't want to say it anymore, because she knew what Gu Shaoyu was going to do.

"Be good, eat some."

Take a spoon, scoop some crab and put it into her mouth, scoop a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth, or peel a piece of fish and feed it to her.

After being coaxed into eating a few bites, Xie Zhaozhao really couldn't eat any more.

Gu Shaoyu stopped in dismay and said, "You really eat too little. Your appetite is even smaller than that of a cat."

He picked up and ate the food she didn't eat, and finished several plates clean.

Xie Zhaozhao blinked and said, "No wonder you are so tall, it turns out you eat so much."

"Of course. Look at me, I have a big head and big feet, so everything is big..."

He paused, looking at her blankly, as if she didn't understand, then he pinched the last piece of dessert and ate it gracefully, one bite at a time, saying like a teacher explaining things to a child: "These are all closely related."

What does Xie Zhaozhao mean by "everything is big"? How come they are closely related?

What I hate most is leaving others guessing while I’m still talking.

Suddenly I thought of a word, rich and powerful... My face turned red, I was dying, I was led astray!

After dinner, Xie Zhaozhao leaned against the wall and went to wash up. Then he asked Gu Shaoyu a question: "Don't we need to have separate courtyards?"

The nobles basically had separate courtyards for their spouses. The mistress had her own courtyard, and the men also had independent courtyards.

Because there are wives, there will also be many concubines, maids and so on.

Gu Shaoyu said naturally: "No, we have one yard and one bedroom, no difference."

"Oh," Xie Zhaozhao said vaguely, feeling very happy.

I wanted to ask him if he would take a concubine, but I felt it was unnecessary.

What man doesn't want to take a concubine?

Given Lord Gu's status and position, and his extraordinary appearance, it was only a matter of time before he took a concubine.

But why didn't he marry or take a concubine in all these years? She had been here for so many days, but she hadn't seen a single woman in the entire courtyard.

Originally, there were rumors in the capital that the uncle and nephew might have hidden illnesses, but she had already shown up to prove that not only was he not ill, but he was like a wolf every night.

But why doesn't he have a woman?

strange!

"Are you thinking about me?" He leaned over, looked into her eyes, and said with certainty.

"Bah, who missed you?" Xie Zhaozhao blushed and combed his hair with a comb. His hair was very long, black and clean.

She suddenly stopped and pulled out a strand of his hair.

A scary question came to my mind: Gu Shaoyu, wouldn’t he be keeping a mistress outside like Gu Chengyan?
