Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 85

We took shelter from the rain at a house at the foot of Pu'an Temple. It was only the end of the afternoon, but the sky was still twilight. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the drizzle and wind made the green bamboo sway.

I don’t know when the rain will stop, but fortunately I told my mother before I left that if it rains, they can stay at the house at the foot of Pu'an Temple Mountain for one night before going back.

Judging from the situation, I might have to spend the night in this house today.

He asked the servants to simply clean up the room where Gu Shixing used to live, and then boil some hot water and bring it over.

Su Yun simply scrubbed it with hot water in the ear room, and when she came out, she asked Gu Shixing to continue wiping it.

After Gu Shixing went in, Su Yun went to lift the window and propped it up with a bamboo pole.

The cold wind blows in, and although it is chilly, it can also make people sober.

Gu Shixing came out of the ear room wearing a white wide robe, and saw Su Yun wrapped in thin clothes standing in front of the window, looking at the scene of drizzling rain and slanting bamboo outside.

Her black hair was pinned up with only a white jade ruyi hairpin, and her long hair and plain skirt swayed in the cold wind.

It's like a beautiful painting.

If he wasn't worried that she would catch a cold, he could have watched her quietly for a long time.

He went to get a thick shawl and put it on her. Only then did Su Yun come to her senses.

He advised in a gentle voice: "It's winter now, don't catch a cold."

As he spoke, he propped up the window, removed the bamboo pole, and then lowered the window, leaving only a gap.

Su Yun raised her eyes to look at him, watching his slow and graceful movements.

Over the past year, his aura was no longer as cold and distant, but rather more gentle and elegant in front of her.

Gu Shixing fixed the window, turned his head and looked at her. He met her gaze, smiled warmly, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

At this moment, Su Yun somehow felt a little more vulnerable. She took a step forward, put her arms around his waist, hugged his waist, and pressed against his chest.

He had just come out of the shower, and his body was still slightly warm and smelled good.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered, "I'm just a little scared."

Gu Shixing's heart trembled. Ah Yun rarely showed weakness in front of him. Except for the time when she collapsed and lost control in the carriage on a snowy night before her marriage, she had never shown her weak side in front of him like now.

She opened her heart to him.

He sighed in his heart, then hugged her and whispered, "None of us can predict what will happen in the future, so we should live well in the present and cherish every day of the present, even if the future will really..."

After a pause, he said, "If we go back to the past, we won't have so many regrets."

"From now on, you will go to see your mother twice a month, and I will also talk to her about this matter."

Su Yun buried herself in his chest, closed her eyes, and hummed softly.

"You're right. If I worry about something that hasn't happened yet, I'll just waste my time."

Gu Shixing hugged her tighter.

The two of them snuggled together behind the window, and their faint shadows were reflected on the window, which was extremely warm.

October passed and it was November.

The Su family's granddaughter was born on a snowy day, but the weather was fine on the day of her baptism ceremony.

Su Changqing has become a father. Although he has not yet been able to take his daughter out to show off, his handsome face is full of smiles, and he can't wait to write the words "I have a daughter" on his face.

When Gu Shixing came, he excitedly pulled people aside and secretly took his daughter out to show her to his friend.

"Does Xiao Duoer look like me?"

Gu Shixing glanced at the little girl whose facial features were barely open, then looked at Su Changqing who had an expectant look on his face, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

To put it simply: "Not like."

Su Yun, who walked into the small hall, happened to hear this. He smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. His eyesight is not good."

Gu Shixing turned to look at Su Yun, his eyes gentle: "If my eyesight is not good, how can I be interested in such a good lady?"

Su Changqing heard these disgusting words and showed his disdain: "Your name really fits the situation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

Gu Shixing turned his head and squinted at Su Changqing, saying seriously: "Wrong, it's always OK."

Su Changqing was suddenly choked by his own saliva when he heard this. He coughed violently a few times, scaring the little girl in his arms so much that she started to whine and cry. He hurriedly shook her body and gently coaxed her, "Okay, okay, Daddy won't scare Xiaoduo anymore."

Su Yun walked closer, glared at Gu Shixing, and then looked at the little niece in her brother's arms.

Although the little girl's eyes are not very open now, she knows that after some time, her eyes will gradually become dark, round and bright, and her little appearance will become even more cute and lovely.

Su Changqing held the child for a while, and then thought that he couldn't hold the child out for too long, so he took the child back to the room.

After a while, he came out of the room and took Gu Shixing and several of his brothers-in-law to drink together.

Su Yun then went to where the women were.

All the sisters are here today, including Su Wen and the third sister who is more than four months pregnant.

Because it was a happy day, all grudges were put aside and everyone had a smile on their face.

When Su Yun came, they were laughing happily.

After Su Yun sat down, she asked, "What are the sisters talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Su Qin covered her lips and smiled, "What else can I say?" Then she looked at Su Yuyan.

Yes, Su Yun immediately understood. It was another interesting story between Su Yuyan and her fourth brother-in-law.

Su Yun no longer had any major opinions about Su Yuyan. After realizing that it was an interesting story between her and her fourth brother-in-law, she immediately became interested, so she looked at Su Yuyan with curiosity, waiting for an answer.

Su Yuyan scolded, "If you are so curious, why don't you go to that alley and ask those aunts and uncles?"

The usually gentle Third Sister smiled and patted the back of her hand, then said to Su Yun, "Your Fourth Sister is confused. She thought she was pregnant, and then when her period came, she thought she had spotting. She cried alone for a long time. She only found out yesterday that she was not pregnant, and she was full of loss. I just met Fourth Sister's husband, and he asked me to comfort her."

"Third sister!" Su Yuyan pouted, then stammered, "I thought I was already worried enough when I was pregnant, but I also got my period. I thought I had a miscarriage. How could I not be afraid?"

When the word "miscarriage" was mentioned, Su Wen's face stiffened and her smile faded a lot.

The third daughter of the Su family said calmly, "You three sisters just got married today, so you can take your time with the children. Also, don't be so anxious to have a child. If your mother-in-law is nice, you can wait until you are nine years old before having one."

Su Yuyan asked in confusion: "Why?"

The third daughter of the Su family smiled faintly. Since they were all her sisters, she did not shy away from saying it, "First, the couple has just gotten married and is in the prime of their lives. Sleeping in separate rooms too early will be detrimental to their relationship."

Two of the three newlywed ladies looked unnatural. Su Yun glanced at them stealthily and also pretended to be a little shy.

"Secondly, the risk of having a child is slightly higher, and the younger you are, the higher the risk. Double nine is the most appropriate time."

Su Yun also planned to wait another one or two years before having a child, and it was for the same reason.

As for Gu Shixing...she felt that in addition to this reason, there was also the first reason mentioned by her third sister.

But with frequent sex, he was always afraid of accidents, so Gu Shixing tried many contraceptive methods, and sometimes he even used pills for contraception.

Then the third daughter of the Su family talked about many ways to regulate the body, and also the ways for couples to get along with each other.

Su Yun also listened carefully. After all, although she and Gu Shixing had been married for four years, she had almost no experience in how to get along with each other.

By the time we left the Su Mansion, it was already late in the afternoon.

Su Yun is now really worried that after waking up, he will return to his previous life, so he cherishes every moment with the people who are close to him in this life.

Before they knew it, it was almost the end of the year, and Su Yun was managing the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion.

Aunt Gu would come over almost every day under the pretext of helping out.

After Second Aunt Gu left today, the accountant said to Su Yun in embarrassment, "Madam, the second wife takes out a lot of money from the account every once in a while, and she always says that the second wife is short of money and doesn't have enough to spend."

Su Yun asked: "What did mother say about the past?"

The steward said, "Madam, just say that the second house is having a hard time, so we can be more lenient, but..."

"Hmm?" Su Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

The steward said stiffly, "But recently, the second wife said that the second young master has reached adulthood and needs some new clothes. She also said that the third young lady has grown taller and needs new clothes. She is also older and needs some jewelry. In addition, she also took away a lot of supplements from the storehouse on the grounds that her daughter-in-law is not feeling well."

Su Yun heard this and asked, "Did you all record how much silver and other things Second Aunt took?"

The steward replied: "I've written it down."

Su Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Before the annual salary is distributed to the two houses at the end of the year, let Second Aunt take out as much money and other things as she wants, and don't stop her. But the only thing is that you must clearly record what she uses it for."

If nothing unexpected happened, not much of what Aunt Gu took was for her own use. She would ask for money and other things to send back to her parents' home under the pretext of buying clothes for her children and husband.

Aunt Gu's eldest brother from her mother's family is gone, but she still has a large family. In that large family there is a younger brother in his teens and two nephews in their twenties.

Although he has hands and feet, he does not do anything to make a living and only depends on his sister who married into the marquis's mansion to survive.

No one knew what Second Aunt Gu was thinking, but whenever someone came to her house and pretended to be poor to ask for money, she never refused.

She alone supported her entire family.

One of the reasons why the second wife lived a hard life was that she supported her parents' family without any bottom line.

Second Uncle Gu never cared about the affairs of the family's backyard and didn't know much about them, but her children and daughter-in-law did have some complaints about it, but they hadn't exploded yet.

Now, she gives them a chance to explode.

It would also be good to punish Second Aunt Gu for treating her husband's family's money as if it were the wind.

In mid-December, Su Yun had money and some New Year goods sent to the third room, while only some food was sent to the second room.

It was delivered in the morning, and in the afternoon the people from the second house heard that the third house had already received silver, cloth, food, and valuable dry goods.

Immediately, Second Aunt Gu, her daughter, daughter-in-law, and youngest son came to the courtyard of the main house and asked for an explanation from Mrs. Gu.

Not long after, Su Yun, who was still in the warehouse, was called to Mrs. Gu's yard.

Hearing from the messenger that the second branch was coming with great force, Su Yun was not in a hurry. Instead, she asked the accountant to bring out the account books, and then calmly went to her mother-in-law's yard.

Su Yun entered the hall and everyone's eyes turned to her.

Second Aunt Gu, who was sitting on the right side of the hall, had a gloomy face. When she saw Su Yun, she could not hide her anger and asked in a strong voice, "I don't know what the wife of the prince is thinking. Why didn't she give us the annual salary of the second house, and only gave us these junks to get rid of us!"

On the ground nearby were snacks that Su Yun had someone send over.
