Rebirth with my ex-husband

One hundred and six

It took the couple about half an hour from entering the house to leaving.

After getting on the carriage, Su Yun leaned on Gu Shixing's strong shoulders and arms, closed her eyes and took a rest.

Gu Shixing tilted his head and looked at her, pondered for a moment, and did not push her away or avoid her, but his back was somewhat straightened.

He retracted his gaze and looked straight ahead.

The Hou Mansion and the Su Mansion spanned a small part of Jindu City. The carriage moved slowly in the city, and it took about half an hour to reach the Su Mansion.

Although the contacts between the Hou Mansion and the Su Mansion have become less frequent, in order to avoid gossip from outsiders, they still maintain contact on weekdays.

When she was in the other courtyard, Su Yun did not want to go back to the Su Mansion. If she went back, she would be like an unwelcome and ignored guest.

But now thinking back, it was more about her own inferiority complex and sensitivity. Apart from the cold eyes of her stepmother and father, although the relationship between Su Qin and her stepbrother had become much weaker, they had never said anything cold to each other.

Now she was neither afraid nor opposed to returning to the Su Mansion, but she was a little scared after not seeing her mother for two years. She was afraid that she would not be able to accept it, afraid to see her mother's thin face, and afraid that her mother would not recognize her.

The carriage stopped and Gu Shixing was about to get off, but Su Yun grabbed his sleeve.

He turned back to look at her, but saw that she looked a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

After asking this question, Gu Shixing suddenly realized that even her two aunts looked down on her, so the people in the Su Mansion...

After thinking for a moment, he held her hand, just like he did in the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Yun raised her eyes to look at him. Although his expression was still calm, he still spoke: "Don't panic."

Su Yun knew that he had misunderstood, but she did not explain. She just smiled at him lightly, then exhaled twice before saying, "I'm fine."

Gu Shixing nodded slightly, then let go of her hand and got off the carriage first.

When Su Yun was about to get off the carriage, she saw him extending his hand towards her. She smiled and placed her hand in his palm.

The servant reported that the Crown Prince's wife and the Sixth Miss had arrived. Su Changqing, who was just leaving the mansion, saw this scene and suddenly slowed down his pace.

He looked at the clasped hands in surprise and was silent for a while. He then asked Bei Yan behind him, "When have you ever seen Master Gu and Miss Six holding hands?"

Bei Yan also thought about it seriously, then shook his head, "Never seen it before."

Su Changqing thought of what he had told Gu Shixing yesterday, and thought that maybe those words had worked, and he felt a little more relieved.

He walked forward with a smile and said, "You came back at this hour, so I guess you haven't had lunch yet, so your parents are waiting for you to have lunch together."

Su Yun got off the carriage, pulled his hand away from Gu Shixing, bowed towards his brother and called him "Brother".

Su Changqing nodded, looked at her carefully, and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. How come you look thinner than last time?"

Hearing this, Gu Shixing also looked at his wife beside him.

Because she had always avoided him before, he never looked at her too closely.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that Su Changqing said that, he realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When he hugged her today, it seemed a little uncomfortable, and it was completely different from the feeling before...

Before?

When had he ever hugged her like he did today in the house?

There was a moment of doubt, but it was quickly suppressed.

After all, this was not the only strange feeling he had experienced in the past two days, and he had gotten more or less used to it.

After entering the mansion, Su Yun said, "Brother, I want to go see my mother first."

Because Su Yun had to go out of town every month to visit Xiao Liu, and some bad things were spread, Madam Gu put pressure on Madam Liu. So Xiao Liu was taken back to the Su Mansion a few months ago and has been raised in the previous small courtyard.

Su Changqing nodded: "Go ahead."

After that, he looked at Gu Shixing and said, "Shixing, come with me to the front yard and sit down first."

Gu Shixing said, "Ayun and I will go and take a look together."

After that, he looked at Su Yun and asked, "Is it possible?"

If Su Yun said that she would go alone, Gu Shixing would not force her.

But Su Yun responded with "OK".

Su Changqing looked at the couple and said, "Well, I will go with you for a walk."

The three of them walked all the way to the backyard. In the alley, Gu Shixing looked at the alley, and a sense of familiarity slowly surged up like a tide.

At the fork in the alley ahead, he seemed to know which direction to go in advance, and he was so accurate.

The group stopped outside the yard where Xiao Liu lived. Gu Shixing glanced at the alley with a corner in front of him, then lowered his eyes slightly.

A scene emerged in his mind - two crabapple trees and a small courtyard with a stone table and stone chairs, just like the small courtyard he dreamed of last night.

At this time, Su Changqing said outside the courtyard: "You guys go in, I'll wait for you outside."

Gu Shixing came back to his senses, nodded, and followed his wife into the courtyard.

Su Yun looked at the familiar courtyard and the house where his mother was. Not only did his steps slow down a lot, but a look of worry and uneasiness appeared on his face again.

When Gu Shixing saw her expression again, he thought for a moment and realized that her uneasiness did not come from the attitude of the Su family, but from her worry about her mother.

There was a moment of silence, and he held her hand again.

Su Yun felt his comfort, but still nervously held his hand and went into her mother's room together.

Su Changqing was watching the couple's actions outside the Moon Gate and once again showed a look of surprise and suspicion.

After just half a month of not seeing each other, how come these two people, who originally had a weak relationship, seem to give people a very different feeling?

Moreover, was the person who had taken the initiative to hold other people's hands again and again really the Gu Shixing he knew?

That indifferent and aloof Gu Shixing?

Even though there are many doubts in their hearts, the couple now get along much better than before.

This is always a good thing, so why bother to get to the bottom of the reasons for the change?

Thinking of this, Su Changqing showed a relaxed smile on his face.

There was a strong smell of medicine in Xiao Liu's room.

When they came in, Mother He was feeding medicine to Mrs. Liu.

When Mother He saw the couple, she was stunned for a moment before she quickly put down the bowl of soup and stood up to greet them.

Mother He was not surprised when Su Yun came back to see her mother. But she was surprised that Gu Shixing also came.

It wasn’t that Gu Shixing didn’t come to see Xiao Liu before, but that Su Yun didn’t want him to come.

Su Yun looked at the back of the man with gray hair who was leaning against the bedpost. His eyes suddenly felt sore, and without any warning, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Her lips and teeth trembled slightly, and she spoke with a trembling voice: "My daughter...my daughter is back."

At the end of his words, his voice was trembling and choked, tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes, and even his body was shaking slightly.

Gu Shixing looked at her and was stunned for a moment.

Her reaction was as if she hadn't seen her mother for a long time, but she clearly came back once half a month ago.

Su Yun clenched her palms and walked towards the big bed step by step. Her mother's haggard and old face appeared in front of her.

She thought of her mother in another life, who was thirty-three or thirty-four years old but still as beautiful as a woman in her twenties. But the mother in front of her looked as old as a woman in her forties, with a mixture of white and black hair, and her eyes were cloudy.

The moment he saw his mother, Su Yun suffered a severe heart attack. He felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, and tears flowed down his face.

When Xiao Liu saw her daughter, her dull eyes moved, but she tilted her head and looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled look, as if she couldn't recognize who the other person was.

Su Yun almost burst into tears. She leaned forward and hugged her mother tightly.

She cried out in a suppressed voice, "Mom..."

Gu Shixing looked at the scene in front of him, and clenched his hands under his sleeves. Perhaps he felt chest tightness, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Liu's eyes seemed to have regained some clarity. She was stunned for a moment before she called out, "Yun'er?"

Su Yun was startled, and quickly let go of Xiao Liu, looking at her mother excitedly: "Mom, do you remember your daughter?"

Little Liu's eyes were slightly red. She nodded, raised her hand tremblingly, and touched her daughter's cheek: "My Yun'er..."

Gu Shixing sighed lightly, walked out of the room and closed the door.

He whispered to Chu Yi outside the house: "Leave the lady here, I will go to the front yard, and I will come back to look for the lady after dinner."

At this time, it is better to let her continue to accompany her mother.

Gu Shixing left the courtyard, and Su Changqing asked in confusion, "Where's the sixth sister?"

He said, "Let her stay with her little wife for a while, I will go with you."

Su Changqing glanced at the courtyard before looking away, "That's fine."

The two of them went forward. In the alley, Su Changqing lowered his voice and said, "I have had someone tie up the man you mentioned. You can take him away when you leave."

Gu Shixing nodded: "Thank you."

He believed that his wife was wrongly accused, but others did not believe it. He only hoped that this time there would be real evidence to prove that his wife was wronged, so that those who misunderstood her in the Su Mansion and the Hou Mansion, as well as those who wronged her, would shut up and stop slandering her.

Su Yun stayed with his mother in the courtyard for a long time, probably more than half an hour, and then little Liu became too sleepy and fell asleep.

After leaving the house, Su Yun asked Mother He: "How is my mother's health and mental state now?"

Mother He sighed and said, "My little girl is sometimes confused and sometimes clear-headed, but she is still confused for a long time, and her health is sometimes good and sometimes bad."

Su Yun remembered what Imperial Physician Fu said, her mother was depressed and had a weak body to begin with, so even if she recovered now, she would not live for many years.

Thinking of this, Su Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, gradually calming himself down.

Glancing at the closed door, Su Yun tiredly told Mother He, "Take good care of me."

She will take her mother away from the Su Mansion as soon as possible, and she won't have to wait too long.

Because of the matter concerning my mother, Su Yun also thought of the eldest imperial concubine.

The eldest imperial concubine and the young lady are almost the same, both of them have become ill due to depression.

The Grand Concubine...

Before Su Yun knew that it was Concubine De and Concubine Chen who harmed the Grand Concubine, he only thought that the Grand Concubine had suffered a serious injury due to miscarriage, and then became ill due to depression, and it was so serious that it was rumored now that she was about to die.

But now she knew that the eldest princess's illness was most likely caused by the problematic medicine she continued to take, which was why it became more serious.

No matter what, we must find a way to let the Grand Concubine know about her child, and that the medicine might be problematic.

Her injustice, my wife's freedom, and the matter of the eldest imperial concubine, these things cannot be delayed and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Su Yun washed her face and applied cold water to her red and swollen eyes before leaving the yard. When she was about to look for Gu Shixing, she saw Mo Tai waiting outside the yard. She asked, "Where is the prince?"

Mo Tai looked in the direction of Haitang Courtyard and said, "The prince said he wanted to go for a walk."

Su Yun looked towards the direction of Haitang Courtyard in surprise.

Did he remember something?!

She was feeling a little excited, and after thinking for a while, she asked Chu Yi and the others not to follow her, and she walked towards Haitang Courtyard alone.

The flowering season has passed, and the two crabapple trees outside the crabapple courtyard are full of red and yellow fruits with a faint fruity fragrance.

When Su Yun walked into the yard, he saw Gu Shixing standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, his back to the gate, looking at the set of stone table and stone chairs in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
