Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter eighty-one

There was chaos in the Grand Palace yesterday, and today is Su Yun's mother's birthday, and also the first birthday of Xiao Liu after she left the Su Mansion.

Because Mrs. Gu liked her daughter-in-law Su Yun more and more, she loved her daughter-in-law's mother as well. When she knew that today was the birthday of her daughter-in-law's mother, she asked someone to prepare a generous gift.

If it were another mother-in-law, if she met someone like Su Yun, whose biological mother was a concubine released from a wealthy family, she would probably want her daughter-in-law to have no contact with her biological mother.

Su Yun knew very well that there were very few people who could be as understanding and magnanimous as her mother-in-law, and she would be lying if she said she was not touched.

Su Yun was dressing up when the maidservant beside her mother-in-law brought her a gift.

The old woman brought the gift and was about to leave when Su Yun called her, "Mother Liang, wait a minute."

The old woman paused for a moment and asked, "Madam, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Su Yun thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that Madam Liang and the senior maidservant beside the Queen grew up together. They should have a very good relationship?"

Mother Liang responded, "To answer your question, my lady, we are close friends."

Su Yun asked: "How much does Madam Liang know about what happened in the Grand Prince's Mansion yesterday?"

After returning yesterday, the mother-in-law asked Madam Liang to go to the eldest prince's mansion to inquire about the news. The senior maidservant beside the queen has been friends with Madam Liang for decades, so it is naturally the most convenient for her to inquire about the news.

Madam Liang smiled and replied, "Madam has instructed me to tell you the truth if you ask."

Su Yun no longer had any concerns and asked directly, "What was your reaction when Concubine Chen was arrested yesterday?"

"I heard that Concubine Chen was yelling loudly, saying that she was wronged, and she kept hugging the pillar and refused to leave, crying and begging the eldest prince to save her. It was quite funny."

"What was the eldest prince's reaction?"

Mother Liang shook her head slightly: "The eldest prince didn't seem to say anything, just watching from the side, but his face was not very good. As for the eldest princess, she didn't even step out of the courtyard."

At the end, Liang's mother added: "Aunt Liu only went there on the first day, so it's not time for a blood transfusion yet."

The implication is that it is not yet time for Aunt Liu to take drastic measures.

Su Yun smiled lightly: "I am a little curious, so I have to trouble Mama Liang to tell me this."

Madam Liang smiled and said, "It's just some idle talk, it's not a bother, you are too polite."

After all, she was an elder by her mother-in-law's side, so Su Yun should show her respect. Then he asked Chu Yi to send Mother Liang out.

After the people left, the smile on Su Yun's face faded, and his expression became more doubtful.

Concubine Chen was the eldest prince's treasure. Now that something happened, the eldest prince did not stop it?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. At this time, Gu Shixing came back from boxing practice. He had already taken a shower and his clothes were very fresh.

Gu Shixing adjusted his day off and went with her today to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Su Yun collected his thoughts and waited until he got on the carriage before asking him, "Concubine Chen and Imperial Doctor Liu have both been arrested and thrown into jail. Who will try them later?"

Gu Shixing said: "It has not been confirmed yet, but the eldest prince and I have a grudge. In order to avoid suspicion, this case will not fall into my hands. And this is related to the scandal of murdering the royal heirs. It is difficult to say."

Su Yun frowned slightly and looked at Gu Shixing in confusion: "Concubine Chen has been arrested. Do you think the eldest prince will help her get rid of the crime?"

Gu Shixing narrowed his eyes and thought for a few breaths, then analyzed: "He may have such thoughts, but if he does so, he will also drag his biological mother into the water. Unless he loves her deeply, he will not take the risk."

The person driving the carriage was Mo Tai, so they didn't need to be too cautious when talking.

At the end, Gu Shixing added: "If you love someone deeply, you will save them even if it means sacrificing your own life."

In this case, Concubine Chen has no chance of survival. Even if she is granted leniency outside the law, Concubine De will not let her live any longer.

Su Yun was shocked to hear Gu Shixing say "I love you so much that I would sacrifice my life to save you". She was shocked but also felt that if she was in danger of losing her life one day, he might really protect her with his own life.

Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

But it's not that heavy anymore, but I still feel a little pressure. I always feel that she is accepting him, and her feelings are gradually changing, but his feelings for her are already beyond her reach.

Moreover, she has gradually become dependent on this delicate and patient tenderness.

He breathed a sigh of relief, not letting himself dwell on the question, and then asked, "Does the eldest prince know about the matter you mentioned about the eldest imperial concubine? Or is he also involved in it?"

Gu Shixing only cared about his own backyard and didn't want to bother with other people's backyard affairs, so his expression became calm and he said to her, "No one can predict these things. Today is your mother's birthday, so be happy and don't be sad."

As he spoke, he stretched out his slender, white fingers with light calluses, and placed his fingertips on her slightly frowned brows, slowly smoothing them.

The gentleness between his brows gradually calmed her restless mood. She listened to his words and stopped thinking about these things.

She smiled at him and snuggled into his arms.

It is about half an hour's distance from the Marquis' Mansion to the small courtyard where Xiao Liu currently lives.

Xiao Liu had lived in the Su Mansion for more than ten years and knew only a few people. Besides, she seldom went out on weekdays. There were no other guests on her birthday, and only a table of food was prepared.

She had been looking at the door in the house since early morning. When she heard the neighing of horses and the sound of carriage wheels, joy immediately appeared on her face and she hurriedly asked Mother He to go out to greet them.

Mother He put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands, and then went out to greet them.

The people in the alley didn't know Xiao Liu's identity and thought that this family was very mysterious. They wanted to find out some private information from the servants, but the servants were very tight-lipped and they couldn't find out anything.

They had seen a beautiful young girl twice before, but she had not been seen for some time. Everyone was speculating about the relationship between the young girl and the woman in the yard.

Today, a rather imposing carriage stopped outside the yard, and the young girl got off the carriage, now dressed as a woman, along with a young man.

The man was not only handsome, but his demeanor was also different from that of an ordinary person.

The women in the alley secretly speculated that the man was of noble status and that he and the woman were husband and wife. After all, the woman's clothes and makeup showed that she was either rich or noble.

Su Yun pretended not to notice those inquiring glances and walked towards her mother's courtyard with Gu Shixing.

Little Liu thought it was her daughter who had returned, so when she saw Gu Shixing coming back with her, she was startled, then she stepped forward with a hint of panic and asked stiffly, "Why, why is the prince here too?"

Gu Shixing bowed slightly to Xiao Liu and said respectfully, "My son-in-law greets my mother-in-law."

Su Yun glanced sideways at Gu Shixing.

But Xiao Liu was shocked and said hurriedly: "No, I can't bear it."

Gu Shixing smiled faintly and said, "Mother-in-law is Ayun's biological mother, she can bear it no matter what."

At this time, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion brought the prepared gifts into the courtyard one by one. Gu Shixing said, "Here are some gifts from my mother and me. Please accept them, mother-in-law."

Seeing her mother so frightened, Su Yun took her mother's arm and helped her out.

She looked at Gu Shixing and said softly, "I want to talk to my mother. Please sit down first, my husband."

Gu Shixing nodded.

After the mother and daughter entered the house, Xiao Liu heaved a sigh of relief and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why is that Master Gu so respectful to me?!"

In Xiao Liu's understanding, before she left the Su Mansion, her identity was a concubine. Even if she left, she was a divorced concubine. The Marquis' Mansion and the Su Mansion were generous enough to allow their daughter to continue to interact with her, and she didn't dare to think of anything else.

But today, her daughter's husband's polite behavior really frightened her.

Su Yun asked her mother to sit down first, then turned over a cup, poured seven-tenths full of tea for her mother, and asked her mother to take a sip of tea to calm down.

Xiao Liu drank the tea and breathed a sigh of relief again.

Su Yun then comforted her, "Don't think too much, mother. My husband is just a man who knows etiquette. I am his first wife, and you are my biological mother. According to etiquette, I should come to congratulate my biological mother on her birthday."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu shook her head slightly and sighed subconsciously: "This Gu Shizi is very different from the Gu Shizi in my dream."

Su Yun, who was about to pour herself some tea, paused when she heard this and turned to look at her mother. She couldn't help but think of the day when she got married, when her mother had said something similar. Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes were slightly startled.

"Mom, what did you dream about?" Su Yun tried her best to keep her voice as calm as ever.

After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Liu said puzzledly, "Before you got married, I dreamed of your wedding day. The wedding banquet was deserted and there was no joy in the dream. Then I dreamed intermittently that your life was not good..."

As she spoke, Madam Liu looked at her daughter and continued, "I dreamed that the relationship between you and Master Gu was cold and you were unhappy. I also dreamed that I seemed to be unconscious and I couldn't even recognize you. The strangest thing is that after I woke up, I remembered everything that happened in this dream very clearly."

When Su Yun heard these words, his hands holding the cup tightened secretly, and his mood gradually sank, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face.

He comforted her, "Mother, you are just worrying too much. You are always afraid that I will be bullied after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, so you think about it day and night. Mother, do you think I am not doing well now?"

As he spoke, Su Yun turned around in front of Xiao Liu.

Little Liu looked at her daughter's rosy face and a smile appeared on her face: "No, your face is rosy and you smile more than when you were in the Su Mansion. It seems that Master Gu really treats you well."

Su Yun smiled and said, "My husband treats my daughter very well, and my mother-in-law treats my daughter very well too. My mother-in-law knows that today is my mother's birthday, and she specially picked a gift for me, which shows that my mother-in-law also values ​​my daughter very much."

Seeing no trace of lying on her daughter's face, Mrs. Liu's worries naturally disappeared, and she immediately smiled and said, "That's very good, very good."

Su Yun stayed with her mother for a long time before going out and having the birthday banquet with her mother together with Gu Shixing.

Su Yun's face remained expressionless until she said goodbye to her mother. However, the moment she got on the carriage, Su Yun's face turned pale and she suddenly grabbed Gu Shixing's arm.

Gu Shixing was slightly stunned, then suddenly looked up at Su Yun, only to see that she didn't look very well, so he asked hurriedly, "But what happened?"

Su Yun looked at him with complicated eyes, took a deep breath, then leaned close to his ear and told him the dream her mother had.

Gu Shixing's eyes darkened for nothing, and then he began to ponder. After a while, he whispered, "I've spent some time reading some odd news magazines these days, and then I'll go find some experts who may be able to give us some pointers."

When they woke up, they found themselves back in time to four years ago. They had no idea why and had no clue.

Now, Xiao Liu, who didn't come back, dreamed about their past life. It would be fine once, but it happened many times. We had to investigate and see if we could find any clues.

Su Yun nodded in agreement, and this was all that could be done now.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, but she just hoped that she was worrying too much. Hopefully there would be some bumps and bruises, but nothing serious would happen.
