Chapter 115

Gu Shixing was in a coma for a month, and after more than a month of recuperation, his injuries were completely healed.

After the imperial physician came to examine him, Marquis Gu repeatedly asked him whether he was really cured.

"Even practicing boxing and swordplay is not a problem?" asked Marquis Gu.

The doctor laughed and said, "Not only is there no problem with practicing boxing and swordsmanship, but even fighting with others is no problem. Of course, with the prince's calm temperament, how could he possibly fight with others?"

"So he has recovered very well?" Gu Hou asked again.

The doctor nodded: "Excellent, no problem at all."

Marquis Gu asked and looked at his son who was sitting on the couch.

Gu Shixing met his father's gaze, and felt that his father's eyes were unexpectedly deep...

I became more alert.

There was an undercurrent in the eyes of the father and son, but Su Yun, Madam Gu, and the two sisters-in-law did not notice it.

Madam Gu also breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine."

Then he looked at Su Yun and said, "Now, we are just waiting for your child to be born."

When he saw Su Yun's abdomen, the smile on his face softened a lot.

Everyone stayed in the house for only a short while before leaving.

After the people left, Su Yun went to close the door. When she turned around, she saw Gu Shixing had returned to his original seat, looking down, wondering what he was thinking about.

Su Yun asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Gu Shixing looked up at his wife and thought for a few breaths before saying, "Father seems to be quite concerned about my health."

Su Yun heard this and said with a smile: "My husband and father are father and son. If my father doesn't care about you, he can't care about others, right?"

Gu Shixing shook his head, thinking carefully about his father's attitude just now, narrowing his eyes and analyzing carefully: "Father's concern is never superficial, but today he repeatedly asked the imperial physician about my physical condition, which is abnormal..."

"There must be a demon?" Su Yunti added the last few words.

Gu Shixing looked at her and nodded.

Su Yun chuckled and said, "My father is upright, how could he plot against his own son?"

Gu Shixing raised his eyebrows at her and asked, "Others also say that I am upright, but do you think I am upright?"

Su Yun's smile faltered, and he listened to him again: "I have known Changqing for more than 20 years, and her mother is still my biological mother. Look at what I did before, do you still think that the father is kind and the son is filial?"

Su Yun's smile suddenly disappeared. She thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "You are plotting against my father as well?"

Gu Shixing shook his head: "No."

Every step he took was measured. He misled his mother about his sexual orientation, and even if his mother knew about it, it would be easier to resolve. But if he misled his father in this way, it would definitely not end well.

Not to mention whether it can be resolved amicably, I will probably be called in and scolded the next day after misleading my father.

He thought for a moment and said, "It should be my mother who told my father."

Su Yun heard this and sat down beside him, and said with some worry, "Mother has already let it go, so father shouldn't pursue it anymore, right?"

Gu Shixing sighed softly and shook his head, "It's hard to say."

Yes, it's hard to say.

A few days later, Marquis Gu called his son over, and when he came back, he asked Su Yun to get the medicinal wine.

The medicinal wine was not in the room, so Su Yun went out of the room and asked the servants to get it.

After a while, Su Yun brought back the medicinal wine and saw that he had taken off his outer shirt and top.

His upper body was covered in bruises, as if he had been beaten.

Su Yun's eyes widened, and he hurried over and asked in surprise: "Did your father hit you?!"

Gu Shixing shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Father asked me to practice boxing."

Su Yun touched the bruises on his body and said distressedly, "This is not boxing, this is clearly a deliberate beating on you."

At this point, she asked again tentatively: "You really didn't plot against your father? Otherwise, why would your father do such a heavy hand?"

Gu Shixing sighed and asked her, "Do you still remember the tonic soup that my mother sent to us shortly after we got married?"

Su Yun nodded: "Of course I remember."

He has been drinking for two lifetimes, how could she not remember?

Gu Shixing smiled bitterly: "Then you must not know what excuse mother used to tell my aunt and Doctor Fu."

Su Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, with a look of suspicion on his face: "It can't be..."

Gu Shixing nodded at her.

Su Yun was silent for a moment, then opened the bottle of medicinal wine, poured it into his palm, rubbed it on the bruises on his body, and said softly: "Then just bear with it, this time, let your father calm down."

Gu Shixing couldn't help but think of the fight with his father just now. His father was ruthless and showed no mercy. He vaguely knew that he must have done something wrong. So after the fight, he asked his father where he had gone wrong.

Marquis Gu glanced at him coldly and said, "Not long after you got married, your mother went to the palace to ask the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for you, which was a prescription for conditioning your body."

The father and son looked at each other. Lord Gu was older and more stable, so the son lowered his eyes a little uncomfortably and said, "The child knows about this."

Gu Hou sneered: "But your mother, your aunt, and Doctor Fu said that I am too old and can't do it anymore."

Hearing this, Gu Shixing was speechless for a moment, knowing in his heart that the punishment was not too severe.

Su Yun rubbed it for a long time and said, "Fortunately, only mother and father know about this. My brother doesn't know yet. If she knew..."

As for the rest, both of them knew it.

Gu Shixing sighed faintly: "I don't think so."

Su Yun was surprised when she heard this: "Why? When my brother came over a few days ago, he didn't say anything."

Gu Shixing turned his head and looked at her: "Father knew about it a long time ago, but he still didn't show any symptoms. He only showed symptoms after the imperial physician confirmed that I had recovered. Don't you think Changqing was waiting for this time?"

The hand that was kneading the medicinal wine paused, and Su Yun looked worried: "Although you deserve it, can you bear it?"

Hearing the words "You deserve it", Gu Shixing laughed at himself and said, "It is indeed what I deserve. So what if I can't handle it? I can only endure it."

Su Yun glared at him and said, "I'm not joking." Then she thought for a moment and said, "If not, why don't we stay away from my brother for a while? Then we can meet when he's almost calmed down?"

Gu Shixing reminded her: "In a few days it will be your grandmother's birthday. Both your father and mother have to go, so why shouldn't I go?"

Su Yun also thought of her grandmother's birthday, and her face became even more worried.

She thought for a long time and said, "I think my brother will team up with a few brothers-in-law to deal with you. If they force you to drink, what will happen? If not, I will ask my fourth and fifth sisters to go to my third sister's place tomorrow and ask them to help persuade her."

"What about Su Wen?" Gu Shixing asked.

Su Yun thought for a moment and curled her lips: "Let Fifth Sister talk to her. I have nothing to say to her."

Su Yun would not deliberately target Su Wen, but he would not get close to her anymore, and he was too lazy to even put on a show.

It would be good if we don't interfere with each other.

*

On the Su family's old lady's birthday, all the members of the Marquis's Mansion went, even the second and third wives went.

Although the banquet started at 3 p.m., several sons-in-law of the Su family and married girls arrived early.

When Su Yun and Gu Shixing met Su Changqing, Su Changqing looked at Gu Shixing from head to toe and asked with a meaningful smile, "Are you feeling better?"

Su Yun was worried that his eldest brother would make things too difficult for Gu Shixing, so he said, "Although the imperial physician said he is almost recovered, he always has trouble sleeping at night. I think he has some underlying illness."

Su Changqing suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a soft "tsk", "But I saw the doctor who treated my brother-in-law yesterday, and asked him about it. He said that there is nothing wrong with Master Gu's health, so how could there be any root cause of the disease?"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Shixing with a smile.

Su Yun: ...

From my brother's words and look, I could tell that he knew it, too.

Su Yun looked at Gu Shixing beside her worriedly. Even though he deserved it, if he hadn't planned like that, their marriage probably wouldn't have been so smooth, and she wouldn't have been so happy.

Gu Shixing gave her a reassuring smile and told her with his eyes not to worry too much.

How could she not worry when her eldest brother was eyeing her covetously?

Su Yun looked at his eldest brother and pleaded, "Brother, don't go too far."

Su Changqing looked at his sister and smiled gently: "Don't worry too much, brother knows what's going on."

Su Changqing knew his sixth sister to some extent. So even if he knew that his sixth sister knew about Gu Shixing's previous bad deeds, she definitely knew it after the marriage instead of before.

So, this is a dirty trick that Gu Shixing, this idiot, came up with on his own.

But he had just been thinking of ways to help him marry his sister, but who knew that this bastard would plot against him like this!

This matter cannot be just covered up like this. He has been waiting for a month, waiting for his injury to heal. If he doesn't drink him down today, he will not be able to calm down.

After entering the Su Mansion, the girls were still the ones chatting with the old lady, while the sons-in-law sat together.

Su Yun was always absent-minded, worried that his brother would embarrass Gu Shixing.

Su Yuyan, who was standing beside her, saw this and sneered at her: "I don't know why you are so worried. My husband is here to help you. Are you still worried that the prince will be embarrassed by his brother?"

Yesterday, Su Yun told several sisters that her husband had some minor frictions with his eldest brother before, and was afraid that his eldest brother would embarrass her husband at his grandmother's birthday party, so she asked their husbands to help excuse them.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Fourth Sister."

Su Yuyan waved her small round fan and said nonchalantly, "It's not really my help. It was the prince who helped my husband to accompany the crown prince on his southern tour. I'd like to repay this favor as much as I can. I don't like to owe favors to others."

After a pause, she added, "I also don't like my husband to be indebted to others."

Su Yun smiled gently. After all, with the help of her fourth brother-in-law, Gu Shixing should suffer less.

The banquet started at noon.

After eating and drinking for about half an hour, the banquet was almost over and many people left. However, the table where the eldest son and illegitimate son of the Su family and several sons-in-law of the Su family sat remained for a long time.

Marquis Gu and his wife and their two daughters went back first, while Su Yun and her sisters stayed behind to wait for their husbands.

The table was not dispersed until the golden crow set in the west. Gu Shixing was already unable to walk, and was supported by Mo Tai and another follower, while the other brothers-in-law were still somewhat clear-headed and each walked up to his wife.

Su Yun glanced at them. At least at this moment, they all had smiles on their faces.

She looked at their smiling faces and could see that they were all very happy.

Su Yun showed a smile on her face, but did not want to break the warmth, so she just asked the servants to pass on the message that the prince was very drunk, and they went back first.

Gu Shixing was supported out of the house and two followers lifted him onto the carriage with great effort.

Su Changqing outside the mansion suddenly called out to Su Yun, "Sixth sister."

Su Yun turned around and looked back, and saw his eldest brother waving at him, so Su Yun walked over.

Su Changqing, who was only five percent drunk, was still clear-headed.

When Su Yun approached, he smiled gently: "Sixth sister, are you living well in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Su Yun heard this, smiled slightly and nodded: "I am doing very well."

Su Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fortunately, fortunately."

Fortunately, despite all the bad things that happened to her, she still found someone who loved and respected her.

Su Changqing glanced at the carriage, sneered, and said, "They had already diluted the wine with water, and thought I didn't know. I was still very upset at first, but seeing Shi Xing act like this made me calm down, and thinking that he did that entirely for your sake, I didn't care much about it anymore."

He glanced at the carriage and said with a smile, "Besides, we have been brothers for more than ten or twenty years. He has already married my sister, so it doesn't matter if he suffers this harm once."

Su Yun felt warm at heart when she heard her brother's words. She thanked him from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, brother."

Su Changqing nodded and said to her, "Go back, Shi Xing is still waiting for you."

Su Yun nodded, bowed to his brother, then turned and walked towards the carriage.

He drew aside the curtain and looked at Gu Shixing in the carriage, and they smiled knowingly.

After getting into the carriage, they held hands and snuggled up to each other.

Su Yun said softly: "Today I saw the smiles on everyone's faces that came from the bottom of their hearts. I don't know why, but I felt very fulfilled and satisfied."

Gu Shixing held her hand, a faint smile in his eyes, and whispered: "Since you feel fulfilled, then you are happy. It would be great if you can continue like this."

Su Yun lightly said “hmm”, “I hope it will continue like this.”

"I'll go with you to see your mother in a few days."

Su Yun responded in a low voice: "Okay, because you haven't recovered yet, you haven't visited your mother for a long time."

"After you give birth to the child, bring your mother-in-law to the Marquis' Mansion to stay for a while."

Su Yun smiled faintly: "Okay."

Not long after, Su Yun felt sleepy and fell asleep in his arms.

Gu Shixing lowered his head to look at his wife in his arms, a soft light flowing in his eyes and a faint smile pouring out of them.

He hoped that she could live her whole life as happy and healthy as she was today.

After staring at her for a while, he put the cloak on her and held her hand without letting go.

The carriage moved slowly, and the setting sun stretched the shadow of the carriage very long. The couple in the carriage still held hands and leaned against each other.
