After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 17 The thief never escapes
At this time, the gate of the Anding Marquis's Mansion opened, and Mother Song, who was beside Li, came out with a smile to greet them.
"Miss, the master and mistress have been waiting for you to come back since early morning. Please come into the mansion quickly."
Gu Jin smiled, "It's really unfortunate that Mother Song came out. If you had come out earlier, you would have seen a good show.
Don’t you think so, second sister? "
Mother Song's mouth froze. She had waited until the matter was resolved before coming out, so as not to implicate the master and the mistress. She had never expected that Gu Jin, a blockhead, would actually learn to talk back at people.
Without waiting for Mother Song to explain, Gu Jin took Xie Ran's hand and said, "Husband, you just recovered from a serious illness and it's not good for you to stand for a long time. I'll help you go back to your room to rest."
“Okay.” Xie Ran smiled and nodded, as if the moonlight was always soft and warm.
The two of them walked into the Bo's house as if no one was around. Xie Qing walked away with a cold face. Gu Rou could only hold up her skirt and follow quickly.
Xie Qing and Xie Ran had completely different attitudes towards their newlywed wives. Gu Rou gritted her teeth in hatred, feeling that Gu Jin was deliberately showing off in front of her.
Mother Song saw that Gu Jin was walking in the wrong direction and hurriedly said, "Miss, the second master and the second mistress are waiting for you and your son-in-law in the main hall!"
Gu Jin glanced at her, "Don't you know that my husband is not in good health? If he is tired, can you take responsibility?"
Mother Song was terrified and did not dare to stop it. Although Xie Ran's biological mother came from a merchant family, Xie Ran was deeply loved by the emperor. If anything happened to Xie Ran in the Bo's Mansion, not to mention her, a servant, even the second master and second mistress would be in trouble.
"Second sister and eldest brother, please go and pay your respects to Second Uncle and Second Aunt. I will accompany my husband to the mourning hall to pay respects to our parents later, so I won't disturb your family reunion."
Gu Jin was too lazy to play along with their family. Besides, the original owner was the eldest daughter of the Bo family. She was going back to meet her parents, so what did it have to do with her uncle and aunt from the next room?
She has more important things to do.
Watching the two people leaving leisurely, Gu Rou couldn't help but complain: "Even if Big Sister is resentful of me, she can't ignore the etiquette. The Third Young Master actually let Big Sister act recklessly."
"You plotted against her, do you still expect her to welcome you with a smile?" Xie Qing was in a very bad mood at the moment, and naturally had no patience for Gu Rou.
Because he couldn't understand Gu Jin for a moment, and couldn't figure out whether she and Xie Ran were really in love or if she was deliberately trying to piss him off.
Gu Rou was stunned. She didn't expect Xie Qing to say that to her.
He was obviously willing to facilitate this matter, but now it seems like she is to blame.
Gu Rou's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance, and Xie Qing saw this and realized that he had gone too far.
Gu Rou's uncle is now the Minister of Personnel, and Master Gu Er also works in the Hanlin Academy. Compared with Gu Jin, an orphan girl, Gu Rou can be of greater help to him, which is why he agreed to this marriage.
Xie Qing restrained his temper and whispered, "Sorry, I don't mean to blame you. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still waiting for us, let's go over there quickly."
Xie Qing had cold and handsome features, just like pine trees and green bamboos. Although many ladies in the capital knew that he was engaged, they still risked their faces to express their love for him, but they were all rejected by Xie Qing.
But this man who has always been noble and proud is willing to lower his posture for her at this moment, which shows that she is different in his heart.
All the grievances in Gu Rou's heart disappeared, and she shyly took Xie Qing's arm.
Xie Qing frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the scene where Xie Ran and Gu Jin left arm in arm just now.
If the marriage is correct, Gu Jinying should treat him the same way now...
Gu Jin brought Xie Ran back to Fengwu Courtyard. The courtyard was located in the south of the mansion. It had a very good location and was very spacious. However, the layout of the courtyard was too simple, even shabby, and the house did not have the luxury and refinement that a legitimate daughter of a noble family should have.
Xie Ran understood in his heart that it seemed that this uncle and aunt were not as kind and tolerant as they were said to be.
Gu Jin, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She asked Xie Ran to sit on the bed and rest, and called Ruyi in, saying, "Go and bring in the box I asked you to prepare."
"Yes, young mistress."
Not long after, Ruyi and Duobao came back with an empty box. Duobao had never done heavy work before, and his arms were sore from exhaustion. He complained, "Madam, what are you doing with this empty box?"
Gu Jin didn't respond, but answered her with practical actions.
She first packed all the porcelain ornaments in the Treasure Pavilion into the box, not even leaving out a book, and then tore down all the calligraphy and paintings on the wall that she could not understand and threw them into the box.
Then Gu Jin opened the dressing box and after thinking for a while, he simply picked up the whole box and put it into the box.
If Xie Ran hadn't spoken up to stop him, Gu Jin would have even wanted to pack up the bedding and take it away.
Duobao was stunned, "Young Madam...what are you doing?"
Gu Jin loves money, and her philosophy has always been that small amounts add up to a lot, and even a little bit of money is still money.
Anyway, she would not be returning to the Anding Marquis's Mansion in the future, so she naturally had to take all the things with her and not let others get them for free.
"Ruyi, go to the side room and see if there is anything else you can pack up and take away!"
"Okay!" Ruyi agreed crisply, aiming to be obedient.
Ruyi is young, so Gu Jin is a little worried and simply says, "Forget it, I'll go with you.
Duobao, you stay and take care of the Third Young Master."
Duobao was delighted. She had not expected such a good thing to happen. She laughed at Gu Jin's stupidity in her heart and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
Xie Ran looked at Gu Jin's cheerful and happy figure, and for the first time, confusion appeared in Xie Ran's eyes.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
"Young master, please have some tea." Duobao walked up to Xie Ran holding the teacup. She raised her eyes lovingly, then quickly lowered them, her face full of shyness as she wanted to accept but also reject.
But she waited for no response from the other party, and when she raised her head, she was met with a pair of cold and calm eyes.
His dark pupils were like the abyss, filled with a cold murderous aura, no longer as warm and gentle as jade as before.
Duobao was so frightened that his hands were shaking, and the hot tea in the cup spilled all over his sleeves.
"I'm tired, let's go down."
Duobao bravely raised her head, only to see that Xie Ran had frowned, still the elegant and handsome young man, and everything that had just happened seemed to be just an illusion to her.
Duobao was a little confused for a moment but he didn't dare to go forward on his own and bowed and retreated obediently.
But the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Although her appearance could not compare with the two young ladies, she was also a beauty. Many servants in the mansion rushed to show their courtesy to her. How could the Third Young Master bear to be so cold to her?
It must be that Gu Jin's behavior just now was too embarrassing and that made the Third Young Master unhappy. Thinking of this, Duobao felt even more disgusted with Gu Jin.
What a fool who holds us back!
Duobao rolled his eyes and walked to the old lady Liu's Shou'an Hall...
