Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

If Boss Gu is really seriously ill, Gu Yunle and I will not go out of filial piety and cannot do so.

But going back... the capital is far away, even if you travel all day, it will take two full days to get back.

Now that Lu Jianchuan has to go on duty every day, he definitely doesn't have time to accompany her back, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law also have to stay in the house to accompany her grandparents.

If she really wants to go back, she can only take Yunle with her.

Gu Yunxi asked, "Yunle, what do you think? If dad is really seriously ill, will you go back or not?"

Gu Yunle frowned, feeling very complicated, not knowing whether to reply or not.

The previous time, she was deceived by Fang and was almost sold to the homosexual son of the Ke family, which scared her to death.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Gu Yunle was really scared, but if her father was really seriously ill, as a daughter, she would be criticized by others if she didn’t go back!

"Sister, I don't want to go back, but it seems I have to go back, right? What do you think?"

Gu Yunxi recalled the time when his three sons were one month old. The eldest son, Gu, held Jun Ge'er in his arms with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and he sighed deeply.

"Come with me to discuss it with mom. I think we should go back once."

It's easier to deal with her as a married woman, but the main thing is that Yunle is still unmarried and hasn't even decided on a marriage. If she doesn't go back when her father is seriously ill, she will really be criticized by others.

Reputation is so important to women!

Gu Yunxi felt a bit complicated. He stood up and took Gu Yunle outside to find He Feng.

"Mom, I have something to tell you. Please read this letter first."

Gu Yunxi went straight to the point and handed the letter in his hand to He Feng, letting him take a look first.

After waiting for a while, He Feng finished reading the letter with a complicated expression. He asked, "Yun Xi, who wrote this letter?"

"It was written by the village chief uncle. The village chief uncle is always reliable. He probably went to see it in person and confirmed that it happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have written a special letter to say it." Gu Yunxi replied.

He Feng heard this and nodded, "I wouldn't trust anyone else, but it's definitely true since it was sent by your village chief uncle."

He Feng looked at Gu Yunxi, then at Gu Yunle, and asked, "So what are you going to do now? When are you going back?"

Gu Yunxi was slightly surprised and said, "Mom, you didn't even ask us if we wanted to go back?"

He Feng shook his head, pointed at Gu Yunle, and sighed: "It doesn't matter whether you go back or not, but Yunle has to go back."

"That's the custom in our hometown. Your father doesn't have a son, so one of his two daughters must be around to take care of him."

"Besides, I don't know what your father's condition is like now. What's more, if he really...can't make it and can't make it, then this will really be the last time we see him."

Death is the greatest thing. It is the last time they see each other before death. Even if there is a deep hatred, they will try their best to reconcile. What's more, Boss Gu is their biological father.

Gu Yunxi understood what He Feng meant.

I knew without asking that my mother-in-law wanted to go back with Yunle alone.

Gu Yunxi hummed and said, "Okay, Mom, I understand. Yunle and I will go back early tomorrow morning. Sigh."

"Let's go, Yunle, go back and pack some clothes. Get up early tomorrow and we'll go back home."

Gu Yunle looked at Gu Yunxi, then at He Feng, pursed his lips, and nodded in agreement.

After leaving He Feng's house, Gu Yunxi told the servants to prepare the carriage and the things to take back, while Gu Yunle was busy packing up.

When the family was having dinner, Gu Yunxi told the whole family about his plan to go back to his hometown.

"Sister Zhen, the embroidery shop's business has been relying on you lately. I'll trade with you when I come back." Gu Yunxi looked apologetic.

The affairs in the mansion are all easy to handle, except for the embroidery shop that was opened together with Wang Jiaozhen. She is going back to her hometown this time and doesn’t know when she will be able to return to the capital.

In the days that followed, Wang Jiaozhen would be in charge of the embroidery shop.

Wang Jiaozhen smiled and waved her hands, saying angrily, "My hometown's affairs are more important. What's our relationship? Why are you being so polite to me?"

"Besides, Wenwen and I live and eat in our house. No one treats us as outsiders, right, Wenwen?"

Wenwen nodded obediently: "Yes!"

For a moment, everyone in the dining room was amused by Wenwen.

Gu Yunxi also laughed and ate seriously. After the meal, she hurried back to the house to pack her clothes.

Lu Jianchuan followed into the house, watched Gu Yunxi packing her clothes, hugged her from behind, and whispered, "Wife, I really want to go back with you."

Gu Yunxi turned around, smiled, and said, "I won't be back for long, so you should stay in the capital and take good care of our son."

"Oh, by the way, I need to pay more attention to the nurses recently. I heard recently that..."

What Gu Yunxi was most worried about was the embroidery shop and her son. At this moment, she told Lu Jianchuan about the rumors she had heard recently and also revealed the whole matter of beating the wet nurse.

"Achuan, I have already made up my mind to send the wet nurse back home when my son is one year old. This decision will not change."

It is not impossible for many wet nurses in wealthy families to abuse their power in the mansion, relying on the fact that they had nursed their masters in the past. Just look at the wet nurse who is taking care of Hong'er now.

Lu Jianchuan was busy with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy almost all day long. This was the first time he heard Gu Yunxi say that the wet nurse had thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law. I'll have someone keep a close eye on our son and will make sure nothing happens to him. You can go back home without worrying about your family."

"It's just that you have to come back earlier, okay?"

Lu Jianchuan hugged Gu Yunxi tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Since they got married, they had hardly ever been apart.

Now that he is an official in the capital, he really has no way of leaving.

You know, in this case, he... he would still be an official, but he had already come up with a better solution at that time and asked someone to look after the old Gu family.

In this way, the daughter-in-law doesn't have to run back so far.

But it's too late to say anything now. It is said that his father-in-law is seriously ill. I don't know whether he should go back to see him for the last time.

When the time comes, when his wife returns home and writes to him, if the situation is really serious, perhaps he will ask for leave to go back.

Gu Yunxi smiled and patted Lu Jianchuan on the back, saying, "Okay, I got it. I will try to come back as soon as possible."

The couple hugged each other for a long time before Lu Jianchuan let go of Gu Yunxi and let her continue packing her clothes.

However, he didn't even blink as he watched Gu Yunxi packing her clothes.
