One hundred and nine
When Su Yun woke up, Gu Shixing was no longer in the room, so she got up, washed, and prepared to pay her respects to her mother-in-law in the courtyard.
But when she went to her mother-in-law's courtyard, she found out that her mother-in-law was not in the mansion either, so she returned to Qinglan Garden, intending to calm down and think about how to deal with the matter of the Grand Empress.
After she thought about it, she decided that it would not be appropriate to go directly to the house to discuss the matter regarding the Grand Concubine.
The whole matter must be told to the Grand Concubine, otherwise how could she believe that she had been pregnant for several months but it was concealed. Moreover, during this period of pregnancy, someone deliberately tricked her into taking drugs that would cause miscarriage.
But she can't come forward in person.
First, she didn't know how many of Concubine De's spies were around the Grand Concubine. Second, she didn't know the Grand Concubine's current physical condition. If the Grand Concubine was unable to recover after listening to her words, she was afraid that the Marquis' Mansion would be implicated.
If she doesn't explain this to the Grand Concubine, the Grand Concubine might not live long, so it would be better to risk her life and survive.
If you tell the Grand Concubine about the assassination she suffered, she might give it a try for the young county lady.
After thinking for a long time, Su Yun asked someone to prepare pen and ink, and then wrote a letter.
It was already noon when the letter was written, but Gu Shixing had not returned yet.
Where did he go?
Normally, if he went out, he would tell her or ask his servants to inform her, but today he didn't say a word.
The drizzle has stopped, the sky is gradually clearing up, the dazzling sunlight penetrates the dark clouds, falls on the sparse trees, and spots of mottled light fall on the bluestone bricks.
Su Yun opened the window to let the autumn breeze into the house.
When she opened the window, she realized that Gu Shixing might have gone to the Su Mansion.
Yesterday, he had found out what happened and recovered some of his memories. Naturally, he would not let her suffer the injustice for another day.
He will explain these things clearly to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are upright and clear-minded people. After knowing this, they will definitely not allow the matter to be dragged on and not resolved, so it is very likely that they are all in the Su Mansion now.
Su Yun looked at the sunlight shining on the ground in the courtyard and exhaled deeply that he had been holding in his life for a long time. Then the smile on his face showed more relief, ease and comfort.
Gu Shixing came back at 3 p.m., and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to Qinglan Garden.
Marquis Gu looked at his wife and motioned for her to speak.
Madam Gu hesitated for a moment before she said to her daughter-in-law with guilt, "Ayun, I misunderstood you before. Since you married into the Marquis's Mansion, I have rarely smiled at you. I am sorry as your mother-in-law."
As she spoke, Madam Gu stood up and was about to bow to Su Yun. Su Yun was so frightened that she quickly supported her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, you are too kind. In the past few years, mother has never looked down on her daughter-in-law, and has also tried her best to teach her how to manage the household. She has benefited a lot, and she has never resented you in her heart."
None of us have any magical powers, we are just ordinary people who eat grains.
Some people would bully innocent people with cold words because of a blind eye. Su Yun couldn't help but blame such people. But although her mother-in-law treated her coldly, she never said anything slanderous to her.
Otherwise, she would not have endured until now. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time. If she was surrounded by scolding and there was no quiet space even in the Marquis' Mansion, perhaps she would have become depressed by then.
Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter-in-law with eyes full of heartache. She said with both heartache and guilt, "Thank goodness you are strong-minded, Ayun, otherwise how could you have survived all these years?"
Su Yun smiled and glanced at her husband beside her.
Perhaps in the past four years, they were not so unbearable. Although their relationship was indifferent, he never interfered with her, never embarrassed her, and gave her respect.
This kind of respect is something that many couples in the world who are married seriously cannot do, let alone couples who still have misunderstandings.
Mrs. Gu felt guilty towards her daughter-in-law, and secretly thought that she would treat her daughter-in-law the same as her own daughter. If the two sisters-in-law still spoke in such a sarcastic tone after knowing that Ayun was wronged, she, the eldest sister-in-law, would not be polite to them anymore.
Madam Gu also told her daughter-in-law about her mother and asked her not to worry too much. She would go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for permission to have Imperial Physician Fu visit her mother twice a month.
After seeing off her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Su Yun asked the man beside her, "Why didn't you wake me up and let me go back with you?"
In addition to taking the young mother away, she also wanted to sue Mrs. Liu, but now she has missed this opportunity.
But it’s not too late to talk about it when I pick up my mother.
Gu Shixing glanced at his wife who was looking at him with a look of regret. He understood what she was regretting and said, "I have also told your father everything that Liu Xiaoniang did to your Xiaoniang."
Hearing this, Su Yun looked at him in surprise and joy: "Did you really say that?"
Gu Shixing reached out and held her hand, looking at her with seriousness in his dark eyes: "I don't want you to be wronged."
This sentence is better than thousands of sweet words.
After a while, Su Yun asked, "If we really want to bring my young wife to the Marquis' Mansion, would that be against the rules?"
When Gu Shixing heard her words, he remembered what she said about the strict rules of the Marquisate, so he shook his head and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Some rules can be appropriately changed."
Su Yun smiled and held his hand in return.
After a long time, she pulled him back to the room and said, "I want my husband to do me a favor."
As she said this, she let go of his hand, took out the written letter and handed it to him.
Gu Shixing took it, glanced at the contents, then looked up at his wife in front of him: "You want to help the Grand Concubine."
Su Yun nodded and said, "The Grand Concubine may be almost unable to hold on. If I hadn't told her, there might really be no hope. But if I had told her, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
At this point, she thought of the gentle Grand Concubine in her previous life and added, "I don't want such a gentle and kind person to have such a tragic ending in this life."
Gu Shixing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Su Yun said, "My handwriting might be recognized, but my husband can copy other people's handwriting..." She turned back and took out a copy of a deceased calligraphy master from the cabinet, smiled and blinked, and said, "Can my husband copy it again according to the handwriting above?"
Gu Shixing took the copybook from her, flipped through it, and sneered helplessly: "Since you want to help, how can your husband just sit back and do nothing?"
Su Yun saw him smile and said in surprise: "This is the first time I've seen you smile in the past few days."
Gu Shixing originally had a cold personality, and usually had a dull expression without much expression, but there was obviously a smile on his face.
Gu Shixing glanced at her, his tone becoming more helpless: "I just lost some memories, but I didn't change into..."
He paused for a moment, half turned around and looked at Su Yun, frowned slightly, and asked, "If I were not myself, would you treat me like you did last night?"
Su Yun felt confused when she heard this and asked in confusion: "What do you mean you are not yours? You are you?"
Gu Shixing: "It's me who didn't go through those two years with you."
Su Yun was silent for a moment, then there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes: "My husband is jealous of me?"
Gu Shixing did not deny it and nodded: "Yes, I am jealous of myself."
Su Yun suddenly smiled, stretched out her arms, hugged his neck, stood on tiptoes and pecked his lips.
After leaving his lips, her face was full of smiles: "No matter which life it is, or this life, it's always you, and I will only treat you like this."
Gu Shixing's heart trembled, and he softened his ears. If she asked him to copy a hundred Buddhist scriptures now, he would be willing to do so, let alone just a letter.
He threw the notebook and the letter on the ground, suddenly picked her up, and after a few steps he carried her directly to the round table.
Su Yun, who was sitting on the table, was almost level with him. His forehead was against hers, and as their lips slowly approached each other, he suddenly froze for a moment, stepped back a little, and asked, "Have we ever been like this before?"
Su Yun, who thought he was going to kiss her, was stunned for a moment after hearing his words. She immediately recalled the ridiculous daytime sexual intercourse in Lingchuan. Her face turned red instantly, and her cheeks seemed to be scalded by boiling water.
Seeing her like this, Gu Shixing raised the corners of his lips slightly, put his forehead against hers, and said in a low voice: "In the morning, you were not as easily shy as you are now."
Su Yun understood immediately that he had already remembered what happened in Lingchuan that day. He asked this question just to embarrass her and avenge her.
She was so angry that she wanted to push him, but she failed. Instead, he held her waist and lifted her up slightly, and their lips and teeth touched immediately.
Su Yun looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, then slowly closed her eyes and felt the kiss with all her heart.
Her husband, her Gu Shixing.
No matter which life, it is always him.
She climbed onto his shoulders, tightening her grip, responding to his sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce movements.
After the two lips separated, a thin silver thread was left behind, which only broke after they had moved apart for a short distance.
The slightly rough fingertips gently wiped the edge of her rosy lips. Su Yun met his gaze and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, but her eyes were full of smiles.
After a while, Gu Shixing sat down at the table and helped her copy the letter.
After the letter was written and the ink dried, Su Yun took a look at it and could not see any trace of his handwriting.
Gu Shixing said to her, "Give me the letter, and I'll have someone secretly deliver it to the Grand Concubine. No matter if the Grand Concubine believes it or not when she sees it, she will become suspicious."
Su Yun folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and sighed softly: "I hope she can have a good future in this life."
As she spoke, she thought of Lingchuan again, looked at him, and asked, "How much of Lingchuan's matter can you still remember, my husband?"
Gu Shixing frowned and thought for a while, then said truthfully: "It's a little vague, but because of what you said, I can still remember that Xu Tongpan was wronged, and the person who wronged Xu Tongpan was the current Zheng Fupan."
At this point, he said, "This case should not have been overturned, otherwise the court would have announced it. I will return to the Dali Temple tomorrow, look through the files, and then send someone to Lingchuan to settle the case and clear the name of Xu Tongpan in this life."
Su Yun nodded and said, "If you go, take a letter to Madam Zheng. When the case is cleared, give her the letter. After all, we can't let her lose her life just because we come back in this life."
Gu Shixing didn't quite remember what happened to Madam Zheng, so he just asked.
Su Yun then told him in detail about Madam Zheng.
After listening to Su Yun's words, Gu Shixing nodded slightly and said, "Then it's up to you."
Su Yun looked at the letter in his hand and sighed secretly in his heart.
She can see and hear, so she cannot act like a deaf-blind person, and she cannot sit idly by and do nothing about what she knew in her previous life.
So she wanted to help some people as much as she could, but she also didn't want to cause other people who were wrong but not guilty of the crime to lose their lives because of her help.
