Trying hard today

"Madam Dingguo?" Shen Xianyu was stunned for a moment, "Why is she here?"

"He said he had something to do with his wife."

Shen Xianyu frowned, this person has come to the door, it would be shameful to drive her out again, she pursed her lips, "I see, let her come over."

"Yes." Xia Liu nodded.

Shen Xianyu asked Qiuyue to comb her hair a little bit, took some tea and snacks, and waited for Mrs. Dingguo to come over.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a well-maintained woman in a purple dress came in, surrounded by a group of maids, who looked very dignified.

Seeing Shen Xianyu, Mrs. Dingguo sized her up, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

But she concealed it very well, pretending to be enthusiastic and greeted her, "You are Xianyu, you are so beautiful, no wonder that child Linyuan likes you."

Shen Xianyu has been at the bottom of the society for a long time, and he has a way of seeing people, so he naturally didn't miss this scene. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you Madam for your compliment."

"Hey, Linyuan had conflicts with his family a few years ago, and he is still stubborn and unwilling to go back. He didn't even inform us of his wedding. I persuaded his father to ease the relationship between them. But it’s useless.” Mrs. Dingguo sighed, with a sad face, she took Shen Xianyu’s hand, and begged, “Xianyu, can you help me persuade this child Linyuan to let him be free? Go back and walk around more?"

"Uh..." Shen Xianyu was stunned, a woman popped out out of nowhere and claimed to be Gu Linyuan's mother, "May I ask what happened back then?"

Mrs. Dingguo was choked by Shen Xianyu. When a normal person heard her words, she shouldn't agree to it and persuade Gu Linyuan. Why is Shen Xianyu's brain circuit so strange?

The focus is actually on what happened in the first place!

"It's not a big deal." Mrs. Dingguo smiled, her tone was a little blunt, "By the way, after you got married, will someone make things difficult for you or something? If anything goes wrong, just come to Dingguo's mansion , Mother will give you an idea."

Hearing the word "mother", Shen Xianyu's eyes twitched fiercely, inexplicably thinking of the prime minister's wife who has now turned into a bald head, "Everyone in the house is very good, no one makes things difficult for me, thank you mother for your concern. "

"By the way, this is Qingluan, my natal niece, Qingluan, come and see your sister-in-law." Mrs. Dingguo smiled and pulled a woman in Tsing Yi beside her, and pushed her to Shen Xianyu.

"I've met my sister-in-law." The woman in Tsing Yi saluted, her movements were graceful and calm, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"There's no need to be too polite." Shen Xianyu nodded, not understanding what Mrs. Ding Guogong was doing with her niece from her natal family.

"Duke Ding's mansion has been a little busy these two days, and I may not be able to take care of Qingluan, so I just wanted to ask you to take care of her. After a while, I will come to pick her up again." Madam Dingguo said with a smile.

"This...may be inconvenient." Shen Xianyu felt something was wrong, no matter how busy Dingguo's mansion was, it wouldn't take care of a young lady, why send her to her married son's house?

So, he politely declined.

He intuitively felt that the conflict between Gu Linyuan and Duke Dingguo was not so big, so he didn't want to take this hot potato.

"Qingluan is a very docile child. In such a big yard, if you are alone, you will definitely be lonely. I heard that a lot of people sent you posts in the past two days, but you pushed them all, saying that you are not in good health. It's also good to have someone to talk with." Mrs. Dingguo understands it with affection and reason, as if making plans for Shen Xianyu, "What's more, I won't let Qingluan stay here. If it's too long, at most a month, come pick her up."

Shen Xianyu almost laughed, one month, at most, where did he get such a big face?

He knew Gu Linyuan well, and he knew that the other party would not be unreasonable, nor would he intentionally pick things up.

To be able to fight with Dingguo's mansion so stiffly must have been greatly wronged.

After figuring this out, look at Mrs. Dingguo, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye.

"There are no maids in the General's Mansion. I'm worried that my cousin will be wronged here. Mother should take her back." Shen Xianyu refused without mercy.

No matter what Mrs. Dingguo's plan is, if he doesn't bite the bait, he can't force people in, right?

Mrs. Dingguo's face was a bit ugly, "It's okay if there are no maids, I can arrange some to come over."

"Since mother can arrange for people to come, why not arrange for people in Duke Dingguo's mansion?" Shen Xianyu smiled.

"..." Mrs. Dingguo was a little annoyed. She never expected that Shen Xianyu would be as soft and hard as Gu Linyuan. She bit her silver teeth and wished to eat his flesh raw. "Aren't I not caring about it?"

"I'm a bride. I just took over the affairs of the general's mansion, and I'm in a hurry. What if there's something wrong with my cousin? What should I say?"

"..." Mrs. Dingguo stood up abruptly, "I am Gu Linyuan's mother, but I just asked him to help take care of my cousin. You are pushing and resisting, are you trying to drive a wedge between our mother and child! How did Linyuan marry? A daughter-in-law like you!"

Shen Xianyu has a thick skin, even though Mrs. Dingguo's wife flaunts her prestige, she will not let go.

"I don't care, I'll put it here for you, if you don't want to take care of it, I'll spread the word when you get out of this door!" Mrs. Dingguo saw that Shen Xianyu refused to eat softly, so she came hard and took Qingluan away. Pushing it here, he led the people away in a hurry.

Shen Xianyu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Mrs. Dingguo to do such a thing, he was about to ask Xia Liu to send Qingluan back, Qingluan knelt down directly, "I beg Madam to accept Qingluan, if Madam My cousin will be upset if I send Qingluan back! Qingluan promises to be obedient and won't cause trouble for Madam!"

The corner of Shen Xianyu's mouth twitched slightly, he couldn't see these people kneeling down every now and then, "Get up and talk."

"If Madam doesn't want to keep Qingluan, Qingluan would rather kneel down forever!" Qingluan said forcefully as she patted her head heavily on the floor.

"Are you—" Shen Xianyu almost laughed angrily at her, "Threatening me?"

He hated being threatened the most in his life!

"Qingluan doesn't dare, but if Madam doesn't want to keep Qingluan, Qingluan will be beaten to death by her aunt when she goes back!" Qingluan begged, she raised her face with a pitiful look, "Madam just leave me alone!" Qingluan treats her like a kitten and dog, Qingluan never complains!"

"I've never seen a kitten or dog that is so big and can speak human language." Shen Xianyu smiled, and he probably guessed what Mrs. Dingguo meant.

His infertility is a household name in the capital.

Mrs. Dingguo is planning to get her niece from her natal family to come over to give birth to an heir for Gu Linyuan, and then take over the general's mansion for her own use without bloodshed.

No wonder you don't want to lose face, you insist on stuffing people in.

Shen Xianyu felt a little uncomfortable. His things can be given to others, but they can't be calculated by others.

"Ma'am!" Qingluan kowtowed again, weeping like rain.

"Okay, Xia Liu, you go find an empty yard and arrange Miss Biao there." Shen Xianyu ordered, "Find two more servant girls to wait on you, don't be negligent."

"Yes." Xia Liu frowned, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, and finally agreed.

"Thank you ma'am!" Qingluan showed joy and gratitude, pretending to be such a thing.

"You're welcome, go down and settle down first, and have a good rest." Shen Xianyu waved his hand, and when the room was quiet again, he tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the newly planted fruit trees in the yard. what to think.

"Ma'am, the lady who came here was not kind, why didn't you send her out?" Xia Liu couldn't help asking after she came back.

"I also know that she is a bad visitor, but I can take advantage of it." Shen Xianyu hooked her lips.

Didn't Mrs. Dingguo want to plot against them?

Then let her taste what it feels like to lift a rock and shoot herself in the foot.

"How to use it?" Xia Liu was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, it is the way of the person, and the body of the person is treated."

While talking, the old housekeeper came over and said that he was looking for Shen Xianyu for something, Shen Xianyu called him in, the old housekeeper wiped his sweat, but hesitated to speak.

"Grandpa Li, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shen Xianyu said with a smile, he asked Xia Liu to move a chair for the old butler, but the old butler quickly declined, saying he didn't dare.

In the end, Shen Xianyu couldn't hold back and sat down.

"Madam Dingguo came to visit today?" After the old housekeeper sat down, Xia Liu brought him some tea and snacks, and he was very concerned.

He is the old man who followed Gu Linyuan. He followed the old Duke Ding in the early years, and later took care of Gu Linyuan. It can be said that Gu Linyuan was brought up by him. Therefore, Shen Xianyu also respected this old man very much.

Earlier, Gu Linyuan was unwilling to get married, but he was so anxious that he was worried that Gu Linyuan would live alone like this.

Later, knowing that Gu Linyuan had a crush on Shen Xianyu, he secretly helped him a lot.

The old housekeeper made a great contribution to those straight men's jewelry, fabrics and other things.

"Well, she stuffed a girl named Qingluan over, saying she was staying for a month or two, and then took her over."

"In the future, if people from Dingguo's mansion come to the door, Madam will not see you if you can. You don't have to deal with them." The old housekeeper said with a sigh.

"What's the point?" Shen Xianyu was a little puzzled.

Before he focused on slapping his face, he didn't pay attention to Gu Linyuan's affairs. After he got married, he only thought that Gu Linyuan's parents were both dead, so he couldn't bear to touch this wound.

"The current Mrs. Dingguo is the stepmother, not the general's biological mother." Talking about the past, the old housekeeper had mixed feelings, "At that time, the old Dingguo had been guarding the border and rarely returned home. The current Dingguo is Old Mrs. Ding Guo raised her with one hand, and she is quite a dude. Old Ding Guogong specially arranged a marriage for him. She is the general's mother. She is virtuous and virtuous. When Madam came in, the old Duke Ding rushed back to preside over the wedding, he was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law."

Shen Xianyu did not interrupt the old housekeeper, but listened patiently.

"At the beginning, I was gentle and careless, but the good times didn't last long. Not long after, Dingguo Gong and the current Dingguogong's wife got married, and even begged to come to the door when Xian Dingguo's wife was pregnant. Mrs. Dingguo was so angry that they gave birth to a difficult childbirth, and she struggled to give birth to the general, and then passed away." Speaking of this, the old housekeeper sighed, "Old Dingguo knew about this, so he was so angry that he rushed back from the border. Beat Dingguo to death, resolutely not allow the current Mrs. Dingguo to enter, and then tell the old man to come back and concentrate on leading the general. Unfortunately, when the general was 13 years old, the old Dingguo left. Before leaving, he paved the back for the general. Lu, since then, the general and Duke Ding have never had any contact with each other again. As soon as the old Duke Ding left, Duke Ding took the current Mrs.

After hearing this, Shen Xianyu felt complicated. She felt sorry for Gu Linyuan, but also hated the current Duke Ding and his wife.

"Madam, let's send that girl back. Anyway, she's already ruined her face. It's Dingguo's mansion who will be ashamed of the trouble." The old housekeeper sighed again and said.

"I have my own plans, Grandpa Li doesn't have to worry." Shen Xianyu curled his lips and comforted him.

"If there is anything difficult for Madam, just tell me to do it." The old housekeeper stood up and blessed Shen Xianyu.

"I know." Shen Xianyu stood up and sent the old housekeeper out of the yard.

At night, when Gu Linyuan came back, Shen Xianyu asked someone to prepare dinner.

At this time, Dong Xue came in and said that when Gu Linyuan came back, he "coincidentally met" Qingluan on the way, and Qingluan wanted to talk to her, but Gu Linyuan only regarded her as a newly recruited maid beside Shen Xianyu, and felt that she was noisy, so he didn't listen to her at all. gone.

After hearing this, Shen Xianyu raised her eyebrows, feeling like "it really is".

After Gu Linyuan came back, Shen Xianyu told him about Mrs. Dingguo's arrival, Gu Linyuan was a little nervous, "Ayu, she didn't bully you, did she?"

"You think I'm the kind to be bullied?" Shen Xianyu frowned, enjoying Gu Linyuan's nervousness.

"That's good." Gu Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If she comes to the door again in the future, just call her directly. There is no need to make false claims with her."

"I know." Shen Xianyu laughed again, "By the way, she stuffed her niece from her natal family, a girl named Qingluan, and when you came back, that girl had a special opinion of you and talked to you! "

"What Qingluan?" Gu Linyuan looked blank. After entering the door, he was thinking about his little daughter-in-law, and he didn't pay attention to other people at all, and he didn't worry about Qingluan's affairs.

"Didn't you see a girl in Tsing Yi in the garden? It was her. What do you think of her?" Shen Xianyu tilted his head to look at him.

"I didn't pay attention." Gu Linyuan frowned, "I vaguely remembered that someone stopped me, but I was busy coming back to see you, so I didn't like talking to her, I thought it was your maid."

"Didn't you notice?" Shen Xianyu knew Gu Linyuan's character, but still couldn't help teasing him.

"I swear, you are the only one in my heart." Gu Linyuan quickly expressed his loyalty.

After taking a bath at night, Shen Xianyu lay on the bed reading a book, Gu Linyuan came to hug him, but was pushed aside by Shen Xianyu, "Ah Yu?"

"Don't bother me, go find your good cousin. She is young and beautiful, and she can give birth to you. I don't know anything. It's useless to work hard with me." Although he knew that Gu Linyuan was not interested in Qingluan, but when he thought of Qingluan I can't compare to those of Qingluan, Shen Xianyu's tone is sour.

"I don't want her, I just want you." Gu Linyuan took out the book in Shen Xianyu's hand, threw it on the table beside him, and then covered it with a quilt.

Today's supper is West Lake vinegar fish, but the vinegar is a bit too much, sour teeth.
