One hundred and four
Gu Shixing put on his official uniform and said to Su Yun, "I will come back early to accompany you."
Su Yun nodded, got off the bed, and stepped forward to straighten his neatly tucked collar. But just as she stretched out her hand, Gu Shixing took a small step back like he did yesterday, and his body also slightly tilted.
"I can do it myself, you take a rest."
Although the situation had calmed down yesterday and he was somewhat used to her changes, he thought about his strange behavior yesterday and decided to try to restore their previous way of getting along.
Su Yun raised her eyes and looked at him, her face clearly showing some displeasure: "You avoided me yesterday, and you avoided me today too. Do you want to break up with me again, my husband?"
Gu Shixing was silent for a moment, remembering what the imperial physician had said, that her drastic change in temperament still needed someone to comfort her, and that she should just go along with everything.
Thinking of this, he sighed secretly, and finally took a step forward and said, "Thank you for your help."
A smile immediately appeared on Su Yun's face. She took two small steps towards him and placed her hand on his lapel.
Gu Shixing saw her smile becoming brighter and brighter over the past two days, and he inexplicably felt a little more satisfied...
But then a hint of doubt emerged in his eyes - where did he get his satisfaction from?
While tidying up his collar, Su Yun lowered her head to glance at the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
I wonder if this Buddhist string can bring them back to that life? If not, what happened to her and Gu Shixing in that life? What happened to the child? She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't have an accurate answer.
Recovering her mind, Su Yun took a step back and smiled at him: "Come back early today, I'll wait for my husband."
Gu Shixing was still not used to her change, but his face was still expressionless, showing nothing.
He nodded and said calmly: "Before I come back, I will ask Mo Tai to come back and tell you so that you can be prepared."
"Okay." Su Yun responded with a smile.
This was the first time in their lives that the couple had spoken so much in the morning in the four years since they got married.
Su Yun sent him to the door, and Gu Shixing left the room.
When she was walking down the steps, she suddenly thought of what she had just said - "Does my husband want to break up with me again?"
But when did they ever open up to each other?
He didn't find it strange at all.
There was a hint of suspicion in Gu Shixing's eyes.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he stopped and glanced in the direction of the house.
The woman who had smiled as she saw him off now had lost her smile. She lowered her head with a look of sadness, her hands covering her belly, and it was unknown what she was feeling sad about.
In just a moment, Gu Shixing had roughly the answer.
The reason why she changed in the past two days was that she was really pushed into a corner by others and her mother regarding her child.
Maybe she wanted to improve their relationship as a couple and gradually get them to the right place, so that it would be easier to conceive.
Thinking of this, Gu Shixing turned and left, with an idea in his mind.
——They have been married for four years, and it is indeed time for them to have a child.

After Gu Shixing left, Su Yun also began to dress up and went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.
When she came back to this life again, she was mentally prepared.
Whether it was her mother-in-law, the people of the Su family, or the nobles of Manjindu, their attitude towards her must have changed a lot.
Previously, she might have been depressed because of these people's attitudes, but now that she has let go of many things, her mentality is much more open-minded than before her rebirth. The change in their attitude may only make her feel disappointed for a while, but it will not make her as depressed as before.
Yesterday she asked Chu Yi what day it was now.
Even though she had already lived in the life after rebirth for two years, after asking, she found out that it was only a few days since the night of her rebirth.
After dressing up, Su Yun left the room.
The sun has just risen outside the house, and the warm morning sun can sweep away the gloom in people's mood.
A smile came from the heart on Su Yun's face.
Chu Yi also noticed the changes in his master and asked, "What happened to my lady these past two days? She seems a little different from before?"
Especially yesterday, he was crying and laughing, which made people extremely worried.
But today, she seemed to be much more normal. But if you look closely, it is still a little abnormal, after all, the master in the past never smiled so brightly.
Su Yun didn't explain too much, but simply said: "It's just that I've let it go, so my mood is different from usual."
The master and servants went to the outside of Madam Gu's yard and met the second and third aunts of the Gu family. If it were those four years, Su Yun would stop and let them go in first.
She had compromised too many times and was tired. Besides, she didn't need to care too much about their expressions now.
Su Yun just glanced at them, without stopping, and entered the yard first.
The two sisters-in-law were stunned for a moment, and Aunt Gu was surprised and said: "Why is she so arrogant all of a sudden?!"
Second Aunt Gu also frowned.
After Su Yun bowed to her mother-in-law, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Although her mother-in-law had a more dignified look on her face, she did not look down on her. No matter which life she was in, her mother-in-law was worthy of her respect from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Gu, who was about to have her meal, asked her daughter-in-law, "Is breakfast ready?"
Su Yun said: "Not yet, I want to come and have breakfast with my mother."
Madam Gu asked the nanny beside her to fetch another set of bowls and chopsticks. She looked at the smile on her daughter-in-law's face and asked, "What's so happy about today?"
Su Yun served porridge to her mother-in-law and said, "My husband is going back to his parents' home with his daughter-in-law today. His daughter-in-law is very happy."
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Gu's cold voice came from the door: "It's better for the Gu family and the Su family to have less contact."
After saying this, he glanced at Su Yun, the meaning of which was obvious.
Su Yun raised her head and looked at Aunt Gu San, just smiled, then turned back and put the prepared porridge on her mother-in-law's table, ignoring the two people who appeared at the door.
Mrs. Gu looked at Aunt Gu San and said unhappily, "Don't say such things so early in the morning."
After saying that, he asked someone to prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Aunt Gu glanced at Su Yun and said, "No, I have no appetite."
Aunt Gu also smiled and said no need.
Su Yun was too lazy to care about the two of them and had breakfast with her mother-in-law.
Second Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my third daughter is about to get married. The dowry is really thin and a bit embarrassing. Do you think you can subsidize her with some money from the first wife?"
Second Aunt Gu dragged Third Aunt Gu here today, mainly to have a companion, so that she could make some money.
Before Madam Gu could speak, Su Yun, who had just taken a mouthful of porridge, said, "Second Aunt takes seven or eight hundred taels of silver from the main house's storehouse every year. How could Third Cousin's dowry be so meager?"
As soon as Su Yun said this, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment. Aunt Gu suddenly looked at her with wide eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I take so much silver?"
It was just a re-walk of the past life, so Su Yun did not argue with her too much. She just looked at Chu Yi and ordered: "Go open the second drawer of my cabinet and get the account book inside."
Then he looked at another maid and said, "Go and call the accountant from the warehouse."
Ever since she took over the household, she has kept a record of every penny that Second Aunt Gu spent from the main house.
"Madam, what do you mean? We are a family. Do you really have to make such a clear distinction?!"
Madam Gu also frowned slightly, looked at Su Yun, and asked, "Ah Yun, what's going on?"
Su Yun looked back at her mother-in-law and said calmly, "Mother, why don't you take a look at the account book first and then listen to what the accountant says before discussing it."
Su Yun looked at Second Aunt Gu - if she could get Second Aunt Gu to return to her parents' home once, she could get her to return a second time.
Besides, she is not afraid of anything now, so why would she be afraid that they would make trouble?

When Gu Shixing was on duty, Mo Tai came and said that Bei Yan had brought a message from Young Master Song.
Gu Shixing let him in.
After Bei Yan entered the house, he said, "Young Master, you have already found the woman named Liu Wu Niang and have secretly tied her up. Young Master, when the prince and the sixth lady go to the Su residence in the afternoon, they can also quietly take her away."
Gu Shixing nodded and asked him to go back and report.
Bei Yan left, and Mo Tai said, "Sir, I will leave first."
"Wait a moment." After Gu Shixing called him, he was silent for a while.
He roughly calculated the time, picked up his pen, lowered his head and continued to mark the documents, then instructed calmly: "Go buy a few storybooks that girls in the boudoir like to read nowadays, as well as those erotic books that young men like to read."
Motai: ...?
His expression went from confusion to shock to uncertainty.
At that moment, he seemed to hear Mo Tai say, "Prince, did I hear you wrong?" Without even thinking, Gu Shixing said, "You heard me right, go quickly."
Mo Tai said "Huh?" and asked in confusion, "I didn't say anything?"
The pen in his hand paused slightly, he raised his head, looked at the inkstone on the table, and frowned: "You didn't say anything just now?"
Mo Tai shook his head in bewilderment: "Although I really thought I heard it wrong, I didn't say it out loud."
Gu Shixing's eyes darkened slightly, and he felt that he was really getting weirder...
Mo Tai looked at his master who was in deep thought, and asked with a skeptical attitude: "My Lord, did I hear correctly?"
Gu Shixing raised his eyes and glanced at him, then asked in a chilly tone, "What do you think?"
Mo Tai coughed several times and said hurriedly: "I will go now!"
Having said that, he quickly turned around and walked out of the house. When he got outside, he looked up at the clear blue sky and wondered, "It's not raining red rain, why does the prince..." Want to see those things?
Is this the beginning of enlightenment?
Mo Tai shook his head and left, going to the bookstore to pick out the books that the prince had ordered.
It didn't take Mo Tai much time to go to the bookstore and pick out five books, two stories by talented and romantic men, and three stories that were erotic but subtle.
When it was time to get off duty, Mo Tai gave the script to the prince who got on the carriage.
Mo Tai lifted the curtain and looked at the expression of his own prince.
As long as the prince didn't speak, he would continue to look. He wanted to see if there would be any other expression on the prince's calm face when he saw these books.
Gu Shixing glanced at the title of the first book and frowned.
The title of the first book was "Red Luan Moves". When Gu Shixing saw the title, he somehow knew the content of the book.
After a long silence, he suddenly read out: "A Wonderful Romance in the Garden". As soon as he finished speaking, he took away the first book. The cover of the next book actually had the words "A Wonderful Romance in the Garden" written on it.
"'Spring Thirteenth Lady.'" Then he took out another book.
The moment Mo Tai saw the book cover, his pupils shrank slightly.
"A Romance in the Mountains." He took up another book, and the title was once again accurate.
Gu Shixing's expression had become solemn. He was silent for a few breaths as he read the last book, "Beauty's Fragrance"
I took away the fourth book, the last one, and it was indeed the title he mentioned.
Mo Tai's eyes widened in shock: "How, how did the prince know that I bought these books?!"
Gu Shixing remained silent.
——He also wanted to know how he knew that.
Moreover, when I saw these books, I somehow had a general idea of the content in my mind.
I casually flipped through the book "Beauty Fragrance" and happened to come across the erotic part.
What you see is - gently picking red fruits, the beauty's sweet voice, the nectar overflowing, and then exploring the secluded path.
Just with this one sentence, a picture suddenly appeared in Gu Shixing's mind.
In the house during the day, Su Yun sat on the table, her arms stretched backwards, her fair and graceful neck tilted up with her slender eyebrows, her red lips lightly bitten, and her body swaying slowly.
In just a moment, Gu Shixing suddenly closed the book, his face darkened, and his body tensed.
"Prince, what's wrong?" Mo Tai asked.
His voice suddenly turned cold, and he uttered two words: "Drive the carriage."
The master's expression suddenly changed. Mo Tai didn't dare to ask more questions. He had to lower the curtain, sit on the carriage and start driving.
Inside the carriage, Gu Shixing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
Just at that moment, my body felt tense and hot.
The scene that suddenly appeared in his mind just now was as if he had experienced it personally, and the wonderful and charming physical sensation seemed to have been experienced by him himself.
——What on earth happened to him?
