Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 177 Natural and man-made disasters
Ning Weizhou sneered: "Why does she have the nerve to make a scene? She's having an affair with a man outside her family. If anyone tells anyone, she'll be thrown into the pond with her adulterer! I'm afraid she'll ask me not to make it public!"
"As for my grandfather, he should be happy that he got a real descendant of the Sheng family. There is no reason why it must be my child."
Gu Feiwan snuggled in his arms, listening to the steady heartbeat beside her ears, and her heart became more and more at peace.
"My dear, bear with me for a while. When the matter in Jiangnan is resolved, I will accompany you on boating trips every day and never leave you again!" Ning Weizhou stroked Gu Feiwan's hair.
He felt guilty. He had been too busy to spend more time with Gu Feiwan during the days he had been in Jiangnan.
"I'm not a child who needs someone to watch over me every day. If you have something to do, just go and do it. The Gu family has a big business in Jiangnan, and I need to check all the accounts in the next few days."
"My lady is so considerate, how can I repay you?"
“…You…are shameless…”
A dark cloud passed by, blocking the bright moonlight, and darkness filled the sky and the earth.
The rain started falling at midnight and showed no signs of stopping until the afternoon of the next day.
"Girl, don't get too close to the window. It's raining so hard. Be careful not to get splashed."
Nanny Zhu helped the little girl to tidy up her clothes.
Gu Feiwan was due to give birth in two months, and because Doctor Song said it was twins, the embroiderers hired by the mansion hurried to make more small clothes.
Nanny Zhu was a very meticulous person. She would carefully touch the stitches of every piece of clothing. If there were any rough ones, she would ask someone to pick them out, saying that children's skin was delicate and they could not use them.
Gu Feiwan sat in front of the window, eating snacks and looking at the account book.
Qing Shuang was confined to the house by the rain, with the corners of her mouth drooping: "I am so annoyed, how long will this rain last? Why won't it stop?"
A little girl said crisply: "Sister Qingshuang, you don't know, the rain in our Wuzhou is like this, it lasts for several days at a time, even if you don't go out, you can wring water out of your clothes."
"But, logically speaking, the rainy season is over now, so the rain won't last long."
The little girl was not right. The rain kept coming down, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, for seven or eight days!
Qingshuang couldn't bear it any longer, so she went out a few times with an umbrella. When she came back, her face became uglier each time.
"Girl, the prices of rice and flour are going crazy. Vegetables and fruits are even three times more expensive than meat!" Qingshuang was worried.
"I heard today that some mud-walled houses outside the city were soaked and rotted by rainwater, and some people died when mud fell from the walls!"
Gu Feiwan also frowned. The clouds in the sky were extremely thick, and there was no sign of them dispersing.
"Ask someone to send a letter to the Second Young Master and ask him about the situation."
Gu Shian is in Anping. Anping City occupies seven-tenths of the entire river embankment in the south of the Yangtze River. If the embankment breaks, Anping will be the first to bear the brunt!
After waiting for another five days, the messenger finally came back.
Gu Feiwan looked at the person in front of him, and his heart suddenly became tense: "Is it difficult to walk on the road?"
The messenger wiped the mud off his face, but the more he wiped, the dirtier it became:
"Reporting to the young lady, when I went there, I saw many houses collapsed along the way, and the people were displaced. When I arrived at Anping City, I waited for most of the day before I saw the second young master. The second young master asked me to come back and report that he was safe, and told the young lady not to worry about him, that everything was fine in Anping, and then asked me to hurry back, saying that if I left too late, I would not be able to leave!"
"Second Master is wise. Fortunately, I listened and hurried back. Halfway through the journey, a landslide occurred behind us. Mud and rocks from half a mountain poured down, and even birds had no time to dodge!"
"I was so scared that I abandoned my carriage and rode back on horseback. When I arrived at the city gate, I found that it was under martial law. If it weren't for the general's token, I wouldn't have been able to enter the city!"
Gu Feiwan grabbed the corner of the table, breathing rapidly.
The servant in front of him had only been out for five days. When he came back, he was covered in mud, his clothes were torn, and there were obvious scratches on his body and face.
He must have experienced countless falls and panics along the way.
It's like this just for the journey, so what will happen to Gu Shian who stays in Anping City and is in charge of the river?
"Is the Second Young Master injured?" Gu Feiwan's eyes were sharp: "Don't hide it from me!"
The servant dodged his gaze, but finally could not stand Gu Feiwan's pressure, so he could only reply with a bitter face:
"I didn't dare to ask, but when I saw the Second Young Master walking, one of his legs looked a little unnatural. The rest was fine, except that he was soaked by the rain. He looked dark and thin, and he had lost all the charm he had in the capital."
Gu Feiwan gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Let you show off your strength, I don't think there is any girl who can look up to you now!"
"I also saw Miss Ali. She has lost weight. I saw that her arm was wrapped in a bandage. The Second Young Master treated her much better than before!"
When Gu Feiwan heard this, he immediately asked, "Did Ali say anything?"
"Miss Ali wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master said something to Miss Ali without letting me hear it, and then Miss Ali stopped talking."
Gu Feiwan stared at Qingshuang with eyes wide open, and Qingshuang also had an incredible look on her face!
"Miss, isn't Ah Li at loggerheads with the Second Young Master? Why would she listen to him so much?" Qing Shuang didn't believe it, so she asked the servant:
"Did you see clearly? Ahri really didn't talk to you because of what the Second Young Master said?"
The servant nodded repeatedly: "I saw it clearly. The Second Young Master took Miss Ali's hand and walked to the side. After a few words, Miss Ali ignored me!"
"Hold hands?" Gu Feiwan shouted.
With Ahri's personality, not to mention that she and Gu Shian are already tired of each other, even if someone is just an acquaintance and wants to hold her hand, they have to ask her fist first!
At this moment, Gu Feiwan really wanted to go to Anping immediately to see what was going on!
But I could only think about it in my heart, because the next day, news came in.
The road from Wuzhou to Anping is blocked!
There was no communication from both sides, and the only thing that was still continuing between heaven and earth was that the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.
In the past half month, Ning Weizhou has come to Liuyuan less frequently. Including tonight, he has not been here for seven days.
"Miss, it's late, go to bed." Nanny Zhu advised.
Gu Feiwan looked at the drizzling rain outside the window and nodded:
"You all should go back to sleep tonight. I slept too much during the day and can't fall asleep now. I'll read for a while."
Nanny Zhu was worried: "Then I will accompany you."
"No, you still have work to do during the day, go to bed first. In this kind of weather, even thieves won't want to go out!"
Nanny Zhu knew that although Ning Weizhou had a new love, he still had a conscience, so she placed many guards in the pomegranate garden, so ordinary thieves could not get close.
"Then I will leave two people outside. If the young lady has any instructions, let them call me."
Gu Feiwan nodded: "Go check on Qingshuang. This girl is rarely sick, so she will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully."
Nanny Zhu smiled and said, "Young lady really understands Qingshuang. She just wanted to get up!"
