Chapter 114

Jinyue Temple is a nunnery and it is not convenient for male guests to stay there, so Gu Shixing could not stay.

Furthermore, if he dared to stay at a nearby farm and bother his mother every day, his mother might get annoyed with him after seeing him so many times, and might even stay a few more days because of him.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shixing asked tentatively: "Mother, I want to talk to Ayun for a few words, is that okay?"

Mrs. Gu smiled coldly: "You are husband and wife, it is normal for you to talk to each other, why do you need to ask me?"

Gu Shixing just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his mother say, "I just said no, but you can still beat me around the bush and make me agree to it."

Gu Shixing smiled helplessly: "I will never do this again in the future, I hope mother will forgive me."

Madam Gu glanced at her son, then looked away and said, "If you want to say something, say it quickly. Men are not allowed to stay in the temple for long."

Gu Shixing nodded: "Thank you, mother."

After saying that, he glanced at his wife whom he hadn't seen all night.

Su Yun understood and bowed to her mother-in-law: "Mother, my husband and I will be back soon."

Madam Gu waved her hands impatiently, "Go ahead, go ahead. If you follow me back, I will live in this nunnery forever."

Su Yun thought how dare she do that? If her mother-in-law stayed in the nunnery for a long time, her father-in-law and Gu Shixing would be anxious.

Although my mother-in-law and father-in-law treat each other with respect in front of outsiders, there is no intimacy between them.

But after Su Yun remarried Gu Shixing, she could feel from the details of the interactions between her mother-in-law and father-in-law that the relationship between the two was very strong.

Su Yun and Gu Shixing left the meditation room.

After leaving the Zen room, he said, "Accompany me for a walk outside the temple."

Su Yun glanced at the location of the meditation room and said worriedly, "If I stay out for too long, my mother might get angry?"

Gu Shixing smiled and said, "Mother just wants me to learn a lesson, she doesn't really want to break us up, so how could she be angry?"

Su Yun thought about it and realized that if he was angry, he would not have let the two of them go out for a walk.

"Then go out."

Gu Shixing asked Su Yun's maid to stay in the nunnery and went out with her.

But although he wanted to take a walk, he asked her to get in the carriage.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Where are we going? Are they really going to take me back?"

Gu Shixing helped her onto the carriage and said with a smile, "How dare I?"

When Su Yun got on the carriage, she found that he had laid mats and soft pillows on the floor of the carriage.

She had no choice but to take off her shoes and step onto the mat.

After she got into the carriage, Gu Shixing also came up.

She asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you wouldn't go back? Then why are you preparing all this?"

Gu Shixing asked her to sit down, and then he sat down as well, leaning his back against the soft pillow and holding her in his arms.

"I didn't sleep all night last night, so I'm a little sleepy." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Su Yun was stunned: "So, you let me out just to sleep with you?"

Gu Shixing murmured "hmm" in a low voice, hugged her and closed his eyes.

Su Yun was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you so uncomfortable without me?"

Gu Shixing rubbed her hair with his chin, and admitted without denying, "I'm not used to it, but I still have to stay up for two nights."

After all, he had just fallen asleep for such a long time not long ago. Su Yun felt sorry for him, so she hugged his arm and said softly, "Then you sleep for a while, I'll call you later."

He hummed, then hugged her to sleep.

I tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep. Today, with her in my arms and the familiar scent enveloping me, I began to feel sleepy.

Su Yun sighed helplessly: "When you go out on business in the future, you can't take me with you."

Gu Shixing was probably feeling sleepy, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It's just this period of time, it won't be like this in the future."

After he fell asleep, Su Yun lowered her eyes slightly to his arms that were hugging her tightly, and then she roughly understood the meaning of his words.

It was probably because he and she encountered bandits in Lingchuan, and then he went back to his previous life alone, so he, who had always been calm and composed, lost his sense of security.

So why isn't she?

She sighed secretly and patted his arm gently.

Gu Shixing only slept for about half an hour.

After all, we were outside, and even though the area around Jinyue Temple was quiet, there were still sounds of bells, wooden fish, and chanting, which made it difficult for us to sleep well.

After Gu Shixing woke up, he sent her back to the temple.

Back in the meditation room, Madam Gu glanced at her son and said coldly, "You went out for a walk, and you walked for almost half an hour?"

Gu Shixing smiled and said, "I missed Ah Yun, so I talked for a while longer."

"But you've missed me so much in just one day and one night. If Ayun stays for two more days, won't you be homesick?"

"So mother should bring Ayun back earlier, and don't let father miss mother."

Mrs. Gu snorted and did not explain to him that it was his father who suggested bringing his wife to Jinyue Temple.

"Got it. It's almost time for you to take your medicine. Go back quickly."

Gu Shixing bowed slightly to his mother and said, "Then I will go back first."

After that, he glanced at Su Yun and told her, "Take good care of yourself."

Su Yun nodded.

After the couple looked at each other, Gu Shixing turned around and left the meditation room.

Su Yun stood by the door, watching him leave, without looking away for a long time.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her daughter-in-law and fell into deep thought.

She didn't know whether this was a problem for her son or her pregnant daughter-in-law.

Madam Gu said, "Still looking, everyone has gone far away."

Su Yun retracted her gaze and walked to her mother-in-law with a smile. She poured a cup of tea for her mother-in-law and said softly, "Mother still loves her husband."

Madam Gu took the tea, took a sip, and said, "I feel sorry for him, but it doesn't mean he feels sorry for me. I was worried and scared about his affairs before, how come he doesn't know that I'm upset?"

Su Yun: "After all, my husband went too far."

Madam Gu put down the teacup, took her hand, and said earnestly: "After a year of getting along, I have already determined from the bottom of my heart that you are the daughter-in-law of my mansion. I don't care much about this matter, so you don't have to think too much."

At this point, Madam Gu smiled again and said, "But then again, if he hadn't made such a fuss, my mansion wouldn't have been able to marry a girl as good as you."

Family background is important, but marrying a wife who is pleasing to your heart and kind is even more important.

Gu Shixing read the files in the study for a long time. It was not until the evening when dinner was ready and the servant knocked on the door that he realized it was getting late.

But thinking of the empty dining table, he said to the servant outside the door: "Since my wife is not here, I will not eat in the dining room. Bring the dinner to the small room next door."

The servant withdrew and brought the dinner to a small rest room next to the study.

The servant went to call the prince in the study, but he didn't come out for a long time, so he knocked on the door again: "Prince, the food is getting cold. Madam has told you before going to Jinyue Temple that you should not eat cold food or cold dishes."

Perhaps he was talking about his wife, and after a while, the door of the study opened and the prince came out of the room.

The servant said, "The food has been delivered to the next door. Please go and have your meal, my lord."

Gu Shixing said "hmm" lightly and then walked towards the small room next door.

I pushed the door open and entered the small room. When I saw a person sitting at the table, supporting his chin with his hands on the table, my heart trembled slightly and a bit of surprise appeared in my eyes.

Su Yun looked at him and said unhappily, "I'm only going to be gone for a day, and you don't take care of your body like this?"

Gu Shixing turned around and slightly closed the door, then turned back to walk towards her, and asked in surprise: "Why did you come back so suddenly? Did mother know?"

Su Yun put down her hand, with a smile on her face: "Not only do I know, but my mother told me to come back."

Gu Shixing sat down in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, with doubt in his eyes.

Su Yun explained his doubts: "I told mother that I went out of the nunnery with you to sleep, and I also told her that you didn't sleep all night. Mother felt sorry for you, so she came back."

In fact, she also told her mother that he might be affected by the previous encounter with bandits in Lingchuan and was always worried about her, so if she was not by his side, he might not be able to sleep well.

The mother-in-law just wanted to make him feel uncomfortable for a few days, but she didn't want him to lose sleep for several days and nights, especially when he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Can you eat now?" he asked.

Su Yun glanced at the food on the table and said, "I've been waiting for you, but the food is almost cold and you haven't come over yet."

Hearing this, Gu Shixing stood up, served the rice, and placed it in front of her: "Don't starve yourself."

Su Yun glanced at him and said with a smile, "Are you so happy that I'm back?"

I thought I would see my wife two days later, but I saw her in less than half a day. The joy in my heart was reflected on my face.

There was a smile on his lips, and even the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

After sitting down, he smiled and said, "I am of course happy that you are back. And wasn't it because you expected that I would be happy that you didn't inform anyone and gave me this surprise?"

As he said that, he sat down and put some meat and vegetables into her bowl.

The couple smiled at each other and had dinner together in this warm atmosphere.

Marquis Gu thought his wife would not be back for a few days, so he came back around the hour of Hai.

When I returned to the room, I found that my wife had come back.

He was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you would stay for a few days? Why did you come back today?"

Madam Gu got down from the couch and put on some clothes: "I missed the Marquis, so I came back early."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Marquis Gu's face. Although he knew that she had most likely returned because she felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law, he was still very pleased to hear this.

He took off his coat and Mrs. Gu stepped forward to help.

When helping, gently ask, "Are you not mad at me anymore?"

After taking off his coat, Marquis Gu turned and looked at his wife.

No matter how stern his face was, he softened a lot in front of his wife. "You are my dear wife, why should I be angry?"

Mrs. Gu smiled when she heard this.

She hung his coat on the rack and said, "Actually, besides missing the Marquis, I also feel sorry for Xing'er. Although I am angry, as the Marquis said, he is my own son. I can't be so angry that I ignore him."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, I heard from Ah Yun today that Xing'er didn't sleep last night. Maybe it was because he was in danger in Lingchuan, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was always worried about his wife, so he couldn't sleep at night. Hearing this, I remembered when I gave birth to Xing'er..."

She turned around and looked at her husband. Although he was already in his forties, the years had only left fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He was still handsome and tall, full of charm to her.

"I had a difficult birth and it was very difficult for me to give birth to you. During the confinement period, I didn't notice it at first, but later I found out that you couldn't sleep every night and would get up from time to time to check my breathing and feel my pulse."

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly: "When I think about it now, I still feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for you and also for Xing'er."

Marquis Gu took a step forward, gently embraced his wife, and said nothing.

He has always been a cold and taciturn person, without much warmth and unable to say nice words, but he gives all his tenderness to his wife and children.
