C49 (1/2)

Gu Yun's words allowed Xie Jingxi to understand some of the meaning behind it. Logically speaking, Gu Yun knew that he did not like letting people go in the house, and even though she was the first wife of the Marquis Mansion, she did not have much connections. It was enough to have Ming Yu in the house.

Just as Gu Yun finished speaking, Mingyu had just returned with the food box. Hearing this, she was so scared that he almost threw the box on the ground. Young Master wants to think that she's useless and separate her from the girl, wuu …

Xie Jingxi looked in the mirror and saw Ming Yu's mournful expression, and burst out laughing, ”You scared her so much.” Xie Jingxi went over and pulled Ming Yu, ”Just now, Eldest Young Master was still talking about arranging a house for you, not treating you like a little girl, so that you wouldn't have to go out in winter or summer. If you don't want to go out, you have to find someone to follow me.”

”Miss wuu wuu. I'm not afraid of the cold, nor the heat. Just let me follow you, I'm afraid …”

Xie Jingxi laughed and pinched her nose, ”How could I bear to leave you behind? For the rest of my life, I've been pointing at you and making fun of you.”

After hearing Xie Jingxi's words, Ming Yu relaxed and left the room. Gu Yun laughed, ”You are such an interesting girl, but what did you call me just now?”

”Ugh …” What did she call him? Eldest Young Master?

”Think about what to call it again.” Only then did Gu Yun's face turn serious, and he closed the lunchbox that Xie Jingxi had just opened. At that place, the fragrance of the chicken wire porridge that had just sprouted out was forcefully sucked away, causing Xie Jingxi to swallow her saliva.

”Mm …” ”Husband, husband …” Xie Jingxi called out to him in a low voice, completely lacking the courage to do so.

However, the one called 'husband' didn't seem to be too satisfied. He frowned. ”It's that difficult?”

She reached out her hand to open the food box, but Gu Yun did not stop her. Instead, she spoke as if she was talking to herself: ”Yesterday, Gu Wan was begging me to bring her to Yue Yang Hall, saying that cooking first was better than bringing it home. I thought that tomorrow would be a good day, I originally wanted to bring my new wife along, but …”

Gu Yun shook his headhee wanted to say something but hesitated. He filled a bowl of chicken wire porridge and tasted it, ”Oh, that girl Ming Yu is really good at cooking, I think I will go and learn from Master Chen for a few days, when she returns, she will be able to open a restaurant.”

Xie Jingxi burst out laughing, ”I really didn't expect that you would actually be so pummeled.”

Zhao Zhang had been waiting in the courtyard early in the morning. Hearing how lively the courtyard was, which had been deserted for more than twenty years, he couldn't help but console them, thinking that their Young Master finally had someone who was willing to accept them.

After eating breakfast, Xie Jingxi thought that she should go to the main house to pour tea. It was already a little late for the new wife, but seeing that Gu Yun was still calm, he left the house and went into a house at the east side of the courtyard.

Xie Jingxi did not know what he was planning to do, and followed him in. It was a room that looked similar to a room, with a simple arrangement inside, if not for the memorial tablet on the table, it looked more like the room of a certain Madam.

Xie Jingxi instantly understood that the person Gu Yun spoke of late was not the Lady Zeng, but his birth mother. He never thought that there would be such a room in his courtyard, could it be that this was the place where his mother lived when she was alive?

Zhao Zhang brought a cup of tea in, and Gu Yun received it. He carried one cup each with Xie Jingxi, and then, they knelt on the praying mat together, ”Don't worry, mother is a very gentle person, he will definitely like you.”

She had always known that Gu Yun had a very mild relationship with his stepmother, so she had always thought that Gu Yun was a rather cold person. Although Lady Zeng was not exactly a nice person, but their family being frozen like this, Gu Yun did not seem to be very sensible.

But looking at how Gu Yun treated his mother, his understanding of him became a little muddled, and this person was so fake that no one could understand him, which side was his true appearance?

When the two of them arrived at the main courtyard, both Lady Zeng and Lady Zeng were there, including Gu Heng and. There was also Gu Wan, who seemed to be waiting for her to become a new wife, Xie Jingxi felt a little embarrassed, so Gu Wan winked at her to indicate for her not to mind, but she still felt a little apologetic in her heart.

Gu Heng looked at the two of them tightly holding hands, and only let go when Xie Jingxi wanted to give him a cup of tea. It was as if he had filled his heart with bitter water, to the point that even the tip of his tongue felt numb.

”I've kept father and mother waiting.”

Xie Jingxi gave Lady Zeng a cup of tea first, and each of them gave a red packet. The Lady Zeng said: ”It's alright, our family is not as well-regulated as the others, furthermore Yun'er's body is weak, it's fine if she wakes up a little later, so you don't have to worry.”

In her previous life, Xie Jingxi had always been well-behaved in front of her parents-in-law, and did not realize that the Lady Zeng was so reasonable and understanding. She obviously didn't like Gu Yun, but in her heart, she still pretended to be a kind mother.
