Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 77

After Gu Shixing drank the nourishing soup, Su Yun was really worried that he would not be able to sleep most of the night, so before going to bed, she asked Chu Yi to quietly make some heat-reducing herbal tea.

After it was chilled, he let Gu Shixing drink it before going to bed.

But late at night, when Su Yun was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by the heat.

The autumn night is cool and shouldn't be hot, but it feels like being wrapped in a furnace.

Youyou woke up, and with the dim light of the small lamp in the room, she could vaguely see the arm across her chest. She gradually woke up a little, and mumbled to the person behind her who was breathing heavily, "What's wrong?"

A deep voice came from behind him: "Why do I feel that this tonic soup is more fiery than in my last life?"

As he spoke, he gently rubbed the person in front of him.

Su Yun was originally only 50% sober, but now she was made a little more sober by his rubbing, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

He was like fire, and something about him was like a source of fire, burning her so much that her breathing became heavier: "Didn't we say the same recipe? Besides, also... don't move!" she growled.

The people behind him calmed down a little, and Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and asked, "Besides, he drank the herbal tea that can reduce internal heat, so why is he still like this?"

Gu Shixing pondered for a moment, then said, "It probably has something to do with one's state of mind."

"Huh?" Su Yun was puzzled.

What kind of state of mind could actually affect the efficacy of that tonic soup?

The question just popped up in her mind, and the next moment Gu Shixing answered it for her.

"If you have been a vegetarian for a long time, you don't know what minced meat tastes like, so you naturally don't want to eat it. But once you know the taste of minced meat, you will naturally want to eat it when you are hungry."

Well, that’s a very easy to understand answer.

Su Yun was silent for a while, then she moved a little further into the bed and said, "Just bear with it."

The palm with thin calluses quietly held her hand and moved slowly with her soft and silky hand.

When the palm of his hand became scorching hot, even Su Yun's face was burned to the extreme.

In the morning, Su Yun got up a little late and hurriedly dressed. Fortunately, she did not miss the time to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.

Facing her mother-in-law's inquiring gaze, although Su Yun felt pressured, she still behaved as usual without any change.

After a while, she felt her mother-in-law's eyes gradually dim from full of expectation.

After everyone else left, Mrs. Gu kept her daughter-in-law and didn't say anything else. She only asked her about what happened yesterday.

"You went to the Grand Prince's Palace, so how is the Grand Concubine?"

Su Yunying: "I can't tell from his complexion, but the Grand Concubine said he's been feeling better lately and has been recuperating on the couch."

Madam Gu sighed softly and frowned, "What I hate most is such despicable means of harming children's lives. Such people are not worthy of being parents."

Su Yun thought of the scene when the eldest princess and the young county lady were getting along yesterday, and knew that the eldest princess loved children very much. If she had a miscarriage again this time, not only would it harm her body, but she would also not be able to bear it mentally.

"After leaving the Grand Concubine's courtyard yesterday, my daughter-in-law met Concubine Chen."

Hearing about Concubine Chen, Madam Gu frowned and said, "I have seen Concubine Chen a few times, but I don't know where she got the nerve to do that. She usually goes to banquets that the Grand Concubine doesn't attend, but she acts like a principal concubine. Her face is as big as a basin. She doesn't know the rules and is shameless."

He stopped cursing and looked at his daughter-in-law: "Did she say anything unpleasant?"

Su Yun frowned slightly and told him what happened yesterday, but she omitted some details, such as the word "it's me".

Madam Gu's face turned unhappy when she heard this. She said in a deep voice: "Can a concubine think that she is the principal wife? Even if she is the prince's concubine, she has no right to disrespect you!"

Su Yun said: "My daughter-in-law has already warned her, so she doesn't dare to respond."

Madam Gu sighed and shook her head: "It's too rude to call a wife not a wife and a concubine not a concubine."

He sighed again, looked at the sky, and then said to Su Yun: "You still have to go back to your parents' home, so go back first."

Su Yun nodded and left the hall.

After returning to Qinglan Garden, I was about to tidy up my room, but when I saw the big bed, I couldn't help but recall and my face turned red.

Su Yun washed his hands several times with disgust before returning to the Su Mansion.

When they returned to the mansion, Su Qin and his wife arrived first, while Su Yuyan was still late.

Su Qin joked with Su Yun in a low voice, "Do you think that Fourth Brother-in-law is pestering Fourth Sister, so he came back so late these two times?"

Su Yun smiled and gently pushed her: "Fifth sister, please stop talking bad about fourth sister."

Su Qin spread her hands: "I'm not insulting her. Who told her to say that last time?" At this point, she whispered: "I've always thought that Fourth Sister is unreasonable and not very smart, but I never thought that she would be deceived by Fourth Brother-in-law in such a matter."

Su Yun smiled and said, "That also shows that the fourth brother-in-law and the fourth sister have a strong relationship. Even if they are just deceiving each other, it's so sweet that it makes people feel sick."

"That's true. But sixth sister, you're not bad either. I see that your cheeks are rosy and tender, and you look very well nourished." Compared to a month ago, when Su Yun came back home, Su Qin actually started to tease people in a sloppy tone.

Su Yunhao said that she had been married for so many years, so she was naturally thicker-skinned than Su Qin. She joked back, "Fourth sister is so affectionate, so are fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law also so affectionate at night?"

Su Qin blushed, raised her fan and tapped her shoulder lightly: "I am your sister, and you tease me. How disrespectful."

"Fifth sister is still teasing fourth sister..."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Yuyan's voice came from outside: "What are you teasing me for?"

The two sisters in the small side hall stopped playing, stood up and looked towards the door, only to see Su Yuyan, who was dressed more exquisitely and less gorgeous than before, walk in.

Su Yuyan glanced at their faces twice and snorted, "They must have said bad things about me behind my back."

They both smiled with their lips pursed.

Su Yuyan looked around again, and finally her eyes fell in front of Su Yun: "You didn't call Su Wen?"

Without outsiders around, Su Yuyan didn't even want to call her "Second Sister".

"I didn't get along with my second sister, so I didn't shout." Su Yun did not hide it.

The reason why the third sister didn't shout was because she was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to run back and forth, so Su Yun didn't shout either.

Su Yuyan snorted and laughed: "It seems that no one welcomes her." But then she remembered that she and Su Yun didn't get along well, but she also asked someone to call her. What did this mean?

Should we give her face?

Should she also give her some face?

And her husband also helped her in accompanying the prince. Shouldn't she also say thank you?

But she had always been at odds with her, so wouldn't it be too strange for her to suddenly become close to her?

Su Yuyan's brows were both wrinkled and relaxed, and her expression was very vivid, which made people know at a glance that she was thinking about contradictory things.

Su Yun didn't bother to think about what Su Yuyan was thinking.

After a while, supported by her maid, Shen walked slowly into the small hall with her bulging belly.

Seeing the three sisters, Shen smiled with joy: "After you three got married one after another, the mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Su Yun knew from the experience of the Grand Concubine that it was not easy to get pregnant, so when she saw her sister-in-law's belly that seemed to be about to give birth, she nervously stepped forward and held her other arm.

Shen looked at her sixth sister beside her and said with a smile, "Don't be too nervous. I'm not that delicate."

Su Yun still helped his sister-in-law sit down.

Several people were in the hall, chatting with Shen for a long time before going to the old lady's yard.

The group happened to meet Su Changqing and two sons-in-law who were also going to the old lady's yard on the road.

Su Changqing hugged his wife gently, then looked at Su Yun and asked, "Why didn't Shi Xing come?"

Su Yun replied: "He has to be on duty today, and will come over around lunch time."

Su Qin and Su Yuyan caught sight of their husbands and walked to their sides.

Su Qin and his wife respect each other and are very stable outside, without any flirting behavior. But when it comes to Su Yuyan, things are a little different.

Su Yun saw from the corner of her eye that Su Yuyan secretly pinched her husband's waist and said something in a low voice. Qi Junjin smiled gently, then held her rebellious hand and said softly, "Don't make a fuss outside."

Su Yuyan snorted softly, then muttered, "What a hypocrite."

The voice of "hypocritical" was a little louder, and Su Yun was close enough to hear it clearly.

Su Yun suddenly felt as if a piece of candy was stuffed into her mouth, and it tasted both sweet and sour.

I walked faster to stay away from the couple so as to avoid being stuffed with candy again.

These people were all with their husbands, except Su Yun who was alone.

Although Su Yun was still "romantic" with Gu Shixing last night, now she was the only one left alone among all the couples. Why did she suddenly feel so lonely and desolate?

Before lunch, Gu Shixing came and Su Yun's feeling disappeared a lot.

Gu Shixing pulled Su Yun aside and said mysteriously, "Before I came here, I heard some good news. Guess what it is."

Su Yun glared at him lightly: "I'm not that little worm from Mo Tai, how can I know what you are thinking?"

Gu Shixing laughed when he heard her analogy. He stopped pretending to be mysterious and said directly, "When I came here, I heard from the spies that Prince Dinghuai had entered the palace. Not long after, the eldest prince was also called into the palace."

Su Yun opened her eyes and showed surprise: "You just mentioned this yesterday, and you're already in the palace today?"

Then he sneered and whispered, "Dog bites dog, it's really exciting."

Gu Shixing heard her analogy and sneered helplessly. Then he took her hand and said slowly, "It will take a whole day. Let's find out more tomorrow. Let's go back and have dinner."

Su Yun was somewhat worried about the Grand Concubine, but then she changed her mind and realized that Noble Concubine De was now fully devoted to her son and would not have the energy to deal with the Grand Concubine. So the Grand Concubine would be safe.

Thinking of this, Su Yun felt more relieved and went back with Gu Shixing to have dinner.

There were two tables, one for men and one for women.

Thanks to Gu Shixing's recommendation and his own abilities, Qi Junjin successfully became an accompanying official on the crown prince's southern tour after the New Year.

Therefore, he toasted Gu Shixing with a few glasses of wine at the banquet to express his gratitude.

After lunch, we had a very pleasant chat.

The men drank a lot of wine, and they talked and drank for an hour.

Everyone was drunk and their faces were red, but they were all good drinkers. After getting drunk, they didn't make loud noises or act crazy, but they were all a little dazed.

It looked like she would not wake up for an hour or so. Madam Liu thought for a while, and then helped Su Yun and the other women's husbands back to the courtyard to rest.

He also said that if it was too late to sober up, he could just stay overnight and send someone back to tell them.

Su Yun hadn't said anything yet, but even though Gu Shixing was already 70% drunk, he still instructed Mo Tai to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to inform them that he and his wife were staying overnight at the Su Mansion today.

Originally, Madam Liu arranged for the couple to live in the small courtyard where Su Yun lived a few months before her marriage. But Gu Shixing hinted to Su Yun, and Su Yun had to politely refuse, saying that her husband liked quietness, so the small courtyard she originally wanted to live in would be fine.

But Su Yun knew clearly that Gu Shixing wanted to revisit Haitangyuan.

Even though he was drunk, he did not forget about the tryst. Su Yun didn't know what to say to him.

Madam Liu wanted to say something, but Gu Shixing, who was still somewhat lucid, said, "I do like quietness, and I also want to see where Ah Yun has been living."

Since Gu Shixing had said so, Madam Liu didn't know what to say. She asked people to pack up quickly and then let them go back.
