Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 66

In the evening, Su Yun came back from bathing and combed her long hair at the dressing table. She couldn't help but think of what Su Yuyan said at Su Mansion today.

Almost every day...

How could Su Yuyan's small body bear it?

Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't help but shudder, and secretly said - Fortunately, Gu Shixing restrained himself. He didn't come every night in the three days since we got married again, and only came on the wedding night.

And he didn't do it too hard on the wedding night. He stopped after two rounds. Although he didn't seem to be satisfied, he was able to control himself.

On second thought, if he didn't restrain himself, he wouldn't have endured it for so many years, and he wouldn't have let it out so rarely.

Thinking of this, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you sighing?"

Su Yun was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Gu Shixing coming back from his shower.

Turning his head to look at Gu Shixing who came in from the outside, he smiled and said, "I just remembered what Fourth Sister said today, and I felt helpless and funny."

Gu Shixing sat down beside the bed and asked, "What did you say?"

Su Yun pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head slightly: "Don't ask about my daughter's affairs."

Gu Shixing's eyes fell on her smiling face. He could tell that she didn't care too much about Su Yuyan. He frowned slightly and asked, "You were almost harmed by your fourth sister, so you don't care about it anymore?"

Su Yun put down the comb, stood up, walked to his side and sat down. After thinking for a while, she said, "Even if I care, I can't push her into the water again. Besides, Fourth Sister is just..." She paused, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "It's just that stupidity that makes people really not care about it."

At the end of the conversation, she added, "And I also accepted my mother's kindness. I can't accept my mother's kindness and at the same time hate her own daughter, right? Besides, that kind of thing didn't happen again this time, so logically speaking, that matter is over."

Su Yun was also very clear that her enemy had never been Su Yuyan, but the person in a high position.

After hearing what she said, Gu Shixing thought for a moment and said, "I told my fourth brother-in-law today that I would recommend him to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and he will accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his southern tour next spring."

Su Yun thought about it for a while, and then agreed: "Fourth brother-in-law has the ability, but he lacks an opportunity. There is a difference between being supported by father or you. Whether he is good at studying is secondary. The main thing is that it is supported by father, so there are always limitations. If you support him, you don't have to go through so many twists and turns."

Gu Shixing looked at her analysis, raised his lips slightly, and said: "If I married a noble lady who was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could take care of the backyard, she would probably be listening to what I said today and would not know what I was talking about."

Su Yun chuckled and said, "Are you praising me?"

Gu Shixing pulled her into his arms, letting her lean against his chest, and chuckled, "What else?"

Su Yun's body went from stiff to gradually relaxed. Although they were already an old married couple in terms of cognition, their bodies were still like a newlywed couple, not yet accustomed to intimacy.

Su Yun felt that Gu Shixing seemed to be finding ways to say nice things to her every day.

Moreover, a person who rarely smiles in front of outsiders actually smiles more in front of her.

She guessed that there must be someone directing him from behind, otherwise how could he have changed so much?

But Su Yun still didn't ask the question. A few days ago, she asked him how his mother-in-law was willing to accept her and couldn't wait to come to the door to propose marriage.

He told the truth, but Su Yun felt like he was dragged onto a pirate ship and couldn't get off.

Now I feel guilty when I see my mother-in-law in the Marquis's Mansion, and I also feel guilty when I see my brother in my mother's home.

If I ask again, I'm afraid it's not that I'll feel guilty when I see someone, but I'm too embarrassed to see that person. After all, what he asked about was such a romantic and secret matter in the boudoir.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yun decided not to ask.

There was a wet feeling on her earlobe, and the round earlobe seemed to be drawn into his lips and tongue. Su Yun suddenly came back to his senses, and his tailbone felt numb.

The jade-like palm gently stroked back and forth on the waist with warm heat. The belt of the inner garment on the waist loosened at some point, and the heat source came in from one side, quietly climbing up to a high place, playing with it with moderate force.

Su Yun felt a little tingling.

He moved a finger's distance away and whispered in her ear, "Very soft."

The hot breath fell on her ears, and a blush climbed up her cheeks. She blushed and slapped the tight legs, annoyed: "Don't tell anyone!"

Gu Shixing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and gently swiped and twisted the red jade with his long fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling well?"

Su Yun bit her lip slightly, knowing that he was asking for her opinion. She had felt very good on the wedding night, and now she was aroused by him, so she uttered a low "hmm" as an answer to his question.

Gu Shixing raised his other hand and lowered the curtain on one side. After putting the person down, he lowered the curtain on the other side as well.

Su Yun was lying on the bed, biting her rosy lips, with a hint of blush on her brows.

Su Yun looked up at Gu Shixing with hazy vision. Even when she was in a daze, she still did not forget what Gu Shixing said about pretending.

Pretending that the marriage had not been consummated yet, she bit her lip to prevent herself from making any sound.

It was just getting dark, and it was still more than an hour before the usual bedtime, but today Su Yun had to go to bed after two hours.

I was extremely tired. As I fell asleep, I wished that I would not become the second Su Yuyan.

*

The next morning, as the sun rose, a faint light shone into the house through the screen window.

Su Yun got up quietly, planning to pay her respects to her mother-in-law and learn the rules along the way.

But as soon as the smooth hand stretched out from the tent, it was gently pulled back into the tent.

Su Yun said angrily, "Stop making trouble, mother is still waiting."

Gu Shixing's voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up in the morning: "I won't bother you. It's still early and there's no rush to greet you. You can rest for a while."

The two of them were naked, and the temperature gradually rose. Su Yun realized something was wrong, and finally broke free from his embrace. She sat up with the thin quilt in her arms, and said seriously, "It's not appropriate to stay in bed just a few days after your wedding."

Having said that, he got off the couch wrapped in the quilt, took his clothes and put them on behind the screen.

After putting on his clothes, Gu Shixing had already gotten off the bed and was putting on his clothes. Su Yun thought for a moment and went forward to straighten his clothes.

Gu Shixing lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her, his eyes were warm and warm.

After a while, he said, "Although I have a holiday, I still need to go to the Dali Temple every few days to handle some miscellaneous matters. So I need to go to the Dali Temple today. Do you have any questions in the mansion?"

Su Yun was adjusting the jade pendant around his waist and chuckled after hearing what he said.

After finishing the jade pendant, Su Yun raised her head and looked at him: "I am not really a new bride, so I will not panic." After thinking for a while, she said: "I can handle the affairs in the back house. Even if it is those two aunts, I have a way to deal with them. My husband does not need to worry, just focus on official business."

Gu Shixing nodded, but then said: "I wanted to marry you again before, but I didn't think deeply about the reason. I just felt that you managed the Marquis' Mansion in an orderly and orderly manner, and it would be very suitable for you to continue to be the wife of the prince of this Marquis' Mansion."

Su Yun looked at him in confusion and listened to what he said rest.

"Now I don't want to trap you in this mansion for the rest of your life."

Su Yun's eyes showed doubts when he heard this, and he said, "But this is my duty. I promised you before we got married that if you help me, I will also help you manage the mansion dutifully. This is what we agreed on."

Gu Shixing saw her matter-of-fact look, and he felt a little helpless. The woman who had been entangled with him last night, after getting off the bed today, was still gentle and considerate, but without any extra emotions.

She, like him, was too sober and rational.

I sighed in my heart, but thinking that there is always a long time to go, there is no need to rush, so I feel relieved.

"I just don't want you to be stuck in these chores for the rest of your life. It's okay to go out and play occasionally. Next time you go back to Huainan to worship your ancestors during the Qingming Festival, I'll go with you."

Su Yun didn't think there was anything wrong, so he just nodded slightly and said "Okay".

After they finished their breakfast, Su Yun went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Gu had just finished her breakfast. When she saw her daughter-in-law coming while washing her hands, she raised her hands to wipe them and asked casually, "You went back home yesterday. Are your mother, father, and old lady all right?"

Su Yun nodded: "Thank you mother for your concern, everything is fine at home."

Mrs. Gu nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How was your brother's conversation with Xing'er?"

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face and replied, "My husband was chatting with my brother and a few brothers-in-law yesterday, and they all seemed to be having a good time."

Hearing that her son was not alone with Su Changqing, Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I told you when we were serving tea a few days ago that I would start teaching you how to manage the backyard after you return home. Today I will see what you can do and then decide where to start."

The daughters of noble families in other families are trained to take care of the household affairs at home since childhood. Therefore, even if they marry into a family of equal status and have some background, their mothers-in-law will not raise them personally, but will only entrust them to the guidance of the older maids beside them.

But Mrs. Gu always felt guilty. Besides, she had a good impression of the new daughter-in-law, so she came to teach her personally. She wanted to avoid letting people look down on the new daughter-in-law.

After wiping her hands, Mrs. Gu walked out of the hall, with Su Yun accompanying her.

Mrs. Gu asked her, "Can you read and settle accounts?"

Although there were no concubines or illegitimate daughters in the family, Mrs. Gu knew about it.

Most mistresses in official families will only teach their own daughters carefully, but how to teach those born to concubines depends on what kind of person the mistress is.

If she is an excellent mistress, she will teach her concubine's daughter in the same way as she teaches her legitimate daughter.

But if it is an ordinary mistress, she will just ask the maid to teach some rules and some basic housekeeping skills before getting married.

A mean mistress would probably even skimp on food, clothing and other expenses, so how could she possibly spend the slightest bit of effort to teach?

Su Yun nodded and replied modestly: "I know a little bit."

Mrs. Gu thought about it and felt that the mistress of the Su family should be the middle type. Besides, she must have cram her daughter-in-law in the months before her marriage, so it was not surprising for her to hear that Su Yun knew something.

After returning to the side room, Mrs. Gu asked the maid beside her to fetch the account books that had been prepared long ago.

Mrs. Gu flipped through several account books casually, picked out a simpler one and handed it to Su Yun: "Will one hour be enough for you to sort this one out?"

The account book is very thin. If you are skilled, it will probably take less than half an hour.

Su Yun took the account book, flipped through it, and then smiled and said, "That's enough."

There were an abacus, pen and ink on the table. Su Yun put the account book beside the table, smoothed her skirt and sat down.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Su Yun, who was flipping through the account book and preparing to start calculating the accounts. She withdrew her gaze and sat down on the soft couch beside her, with her hands on the coffee table.

Just as Su Yun was about to start calculating, the voice of Second Aunt Gu came from outside the door.

"Is the sister-in-law in there?"

Madam Gu frowned slightly, then looked at Su Yun who had already stopped, and said, "Just do your thing, don't be distracted."

Su Yun nodded, then turned back, lowered his head and began to fiddle with the abacus.

After a while, Second Aunt Gu and Third Aunt Gu came in from outside and glanced at Su Yun who was sitting at the table calculating the account books.

Aunt Gu pretended to be surprised: "Oh, has the prince's wife already started to calculate?"

As he said that, he walked to Su Yun's side.

Su Yun thought for a moment, then stood up and called out to the two elders, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt."

Second Aunt Gu twirled her fan and glanced at the account book on the table.

The ledger was a simple one, the same kind she had taught her daughter when she was twelve.

Seeing such a simple account book, Second Aunt Gu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and sneered in her heart.

Second Aunt Gu said hypocritically, "If there is anything that the Madam doesn't know, I will call my Third Daughter over. My Third Daughter has been very smart since she was young. This is the first time she has touched an account book, and it is also this kind of account book. It only took her half an hour to finish it. Calling her over may help a little."

Su Yun was almost seventeen years old and had married, while the third young lady of the second branch of the Marquis's Mansion was only thirteen years old.

Who are you looking down on by letting a thirteen-year-old girl teach your sister-in-law?

How dare she say that.

Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, but said nothing. She just waited to see how Su Yun would respond.

Su Yun smiled and replied, "It's OK. I know all these, so I won't bother you, Sister Qian. Besides, if you come here, I think I've already figured it out."

The second house's yard is only a little over a minute's walk from this yard.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Second Aunt Gu raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said, "From what you said, the wife of the Crown Prince should be very skilled as well. Then I'd like to see how good the wife of the Crown Prince is."

Mrs. Gu said, "Then let Ayun start. Don't disturb her anymore."

Second Aunt Gu and Third Aunt Gu withdrew their gaze from Su Yun and walked towards Madam Gu.

Mrs. Gu asked them to sit down.

Early this morning, Second Aunt Gu went to find Third Aunt Gu and said that the eldest sister-in-law would definitely teach the housekeeper Su a lesson today, so they might as well come and see whether Su really has the ability or is just pretending.

Third Aunt Gu was the county lady and was so proud of herself that she didn't take Su Yun seriously. She didn't want to go at first, but was persuaded to come by Second Aunt Gu.

After hearing Su's arrogant words, a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes. He glanced at Su who was sitting upright, then retracted his gaze and drank his tea indifferently.

The room was quiet, with only the "crackling" sound of the abacus being turned quickly.

Su Yun's fingers moved lightly, almost as fast as flying. Except for the pause when he picked up the pen to count on the account book, there was no pause at other times.

Seeing the skillful movements, Second Aunt Gu's face gradually darkened.

After about a moment, Su Yun put the pen on the pen rest, picked up the small fan beside him and fanned the wet words on the account book a few times. Then he stood up, picked up the account book and gave it to Mrs. Gu.

"Mother, it's settled."

Mrs. Gu was a little surprised, but she still took it and opened the account book to check.

When he was looking at the first few pages, his expression didn't change much, but as he read further, a faint smile appeared on his face.

After reading it, he put the account book on the table, looked at Su Yun, and said in a relaxed tone: "You are not just a little bit skilled, you are obviously very proficient."

Second Aunt Gu's heart skipped a beat. She took the account book and looked through it. The more she looked, the more upset she became.

Although her daughter could finish the calculation in less than half an hour, there was no guarantee that every number was correct, and the final total might be off.

But when she took a look, she found that none of the numbers were wrong.

Madam Gu looked at Second Aunt Gu and said with a smile, "When you have time, ask Qian to come over and sit with you. If you have any questions, you can ask her cousin for advice."

Second Aunt Gu's expression was almost unbearable, and she smiled dryly: "Next time, I will ask her to come over and ask the prince's wife for advice."

Madam Gu smiled but said nothing. Then she said to her daughter-in-law in front of her two sisters-in-law, "In ten days, it will be the full moon banquet of Duke Ming's Mansion. How should we prepare the full moon gift? Think about it tonight. When you have thought it through, tell me tomorrow. If I think it's okay, you can prepare it."

Su Yun responded with a "OK".

Mrs. Gu glanced at the account book, feeling happy but also a little sad.

What a good daughter-in-law she is. She can calmly deal with those sarcastic remarks, which shows her ability. She is also good-natured and not arrogant or impatient. After all, their mansion has found a treasure.

I just hope my son can quickly discover the good in his lovely wife and stop thinking about anything else.

When he looked at his daughter-in-law again, the smile on his face became even more obvious, and he felt even happier in his heart.
