"Xiao Zhou, even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. No matter how wrong your grandmother is, she is still your elder. You have her blood flowing in your veins. If you don't go see her for the last time now, it will be useless to regret it later!"

"Your grandmother did wrong to your mother and you, but she was not the one who started it. She was just a little soft-hearted and believed the nonsense of others. That's why she made a big mistake. Before she died, she also realized her mistake, but you were not by her side, so she had no one to confess to!"

"Xiao Zhou, go back and see your grandmother off. Don't let someone with ulterior motives find evidence against you and affect your career!"

No matter how many nice words were said, Ning Weizhou just stood with his hands behind his back and said nothing. His whole body was cold and stiff, colder than the rain and snow in winter.

Ning Bei'an had no choice but to say to Gu Feiwan: "My niece, I know you are a good person. Being virtuous is the most important thing for a wife. You don't want your husband to have any regrets, or even be impeached by the censors or reprimanded by the emperor. You should persuade Xiaozhou to return to the Ning family. He and I are always an inseparable family!"

Gu Feiwan bowed lightly, and when he stood up straight, his expression was indifferent: "Master Ning, the husband is the leader of the wife, I will listen to Ning Weizhou, if he doesn't want to do something, I don't want to do it either!"

Ning Weizhou's expression finally relaxed, no longer as cold as ice. He took Gu Feiwan's hand, held it in his hand and rubbed it: "Are you cold? How about going back to the house to warm up first?"

Gu Feiwan shook her head. She should be standing next to Ning Weizhou at this time.

If he is sad, she should comfort him,

If he was angry, she should curse with him.

He was so good to her, this was what she should repay.

"Go back and tell the Duke of Zhenguo that if I want to go to pay my respects, he must agree to let me take my mother's tablet out! Otherwise, when he dies, I will tear down the Ning Family Ancestral Hall to bring my mother back!"

Ning Weizhou finished speaking, and pulled Gu Feiwan into the mansion without looking back.

The door of the General's Mansion slammed shut, locking Ning Beian's shocked face outside.

"When I was a child, my mother cried all the time. I was too young to understand. I only knew that my father didn't like me and my mother, and that everyone in the mansion bullied us."

"When I was three years old, my mother died of starvation. I begged her for a long time, but she still refused to eat. After the funeral, my grandfather took me to Jiangnan."

"When I was ten years old, my grandfather's house was burned down by a fire. All my family members died in the fire. I was the only one who escaped the disaster because I was naughty and went to the woods outside the city to catch birds."

"I begged all the way back to Beijing, and before I even entered the city, I was chased and killed. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise how could I exist in this world?"

"I didn't go back to the Ning Mansion, but went to the border to join the army. It was because when I was unconscious, I heard from the assassin that the person who hired the killer was a member of the Ning family!"

Ning Weizhou spoke slowly as he walked. Although he only gave a rough outline of the story, Gu Feiwan still felt it was thrilling. He looked at Ning Weizhou with eyes full of heartache:

"They are wrong. Let's ignore them. It has nothing to do with us who dies!"

Ning Weizhou rarely heard Gu Feiwan speak like this, and because of his own affairs, the cold wind that he breathed into his chest turned into a warm current:

"I wanted to bring my mother's tablet out for worship a few years ago, but the Duke of Zhenguo has been a soldier for half his life and has made great contributions to the Wu Kingdom. When my mother got into trouble, he was not in the capital. Regardless of whether it is for public or private reasons, I have to give him some face."

Gu Feiwan was holding his hand, and the two were very close. With just a nod, Gu Feiwan's face touched Ning Weizhou's arm.

Ning Weizhou simply pulled the person into his cloak and half-carried him forward.

Normally, Gu Feiwan would have struggled to break free, but after hearing Ning Weizhou talking about his mother, Gu Feiwan didn't want to make him more sad, so she was extra obedient.

Ning Weizhou's mouth curled up, as if he was a cat that had stolen a small fish!

At night, the snowstorm intensified.

It was not yet completely dark, Ning Weizhou had already soaked Gu Feiwan's feet and carried her into bed.

The two of them were reading an account book by candlelight, one in bed, and the other reading a military book under the window.

The two maids, Qingshuang and Qinglin, were sitting beside the charcoal brazier, doing needlework, while Ali was concentrating on roasting sweet potatoes.

The room is slowly filled with the sweet scent of sweet potatoes, peaceful and warm!

"General, someone from the Ning family came to say that the Duke of Zhenguo agreed!" A servant's rough voice sounded at the door.

Gu Feiwan was used to the sounds roughened by the sand at the border, and he felt more at ease than at his original home.

Ning Weizhou put down the military book and frowned: "Got it!"

The footsteps faded away, and he turned to the bed helplessly: "Looks like I have to go over there!"

In order to smoothly take his mother's tablet out of Ning Mansion, he had to act like a filial son and grandson these few days.

Gu Feiwan quickly lifted the quilt: "I'll go with you!"

"It's freezing outside. I'll go home to pick you up tomorrow!" Ning Weizhou quickly walked over, covered the corner of the quilt, and stuffed Gu Feiwan back into the bed.

Gu Feiwan stared and struggled under the quilt: "I want to go! You've already married me, how can you go alone?"

"Be obedient. It's cold outside. Since you're going, you'll have to stay up most of the night. It doesn't matter if I'm thick-skinned, but what will you do if I get frozen?" Ning Weizhou just didn't agree!

Seeing that his explanation was not working, Gu Feiwan suddenly broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

She was used to Ning Weizhou obeying her every word, but now she realized that when this man gets stubborn, even ten cows can hardly pull him back!

Madam Ning passed away. If Ning Weizhou didn't leave, Gu Feiwan would naturally feel at ease staying in his own house.

But since Ning Weizhou went for his mother, if Gu Feiwan didn’t go, wouldn’t that push Ning Weizhou to the forefront again?

Rumors were flying around earlier, saying that Ning Weizhou was a military general after all, and he was short-sighted. Seeing the Gu family was so wealthy, he rushed to marry into the family!

He doesn't care about the affairs of the court every day, and only tries to please the women in the backyard of Gu Mansion!

As the words spread to the back, they became increasingly unbearable to hear. Gu Feiwan wished he could find the source and tear the man's mouth to pieces.

But Ning Weizhou didn't care at all, saying that since he had married the best woman in the world, it didn't matter if people said a few words behind his back!

But now the court attaches great importance to filial piety, and Gu Feiwan does not want to cause trouble for Ning Weizhou again.

If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one!

Gu Feiwan leaned over and rubbed Ning Weizhou's arm: "Let me go, otherwise someone will say that I am unfilial and that the Gu family is a bad parent. Can you bear to let me be scolded like this?"

Ning Weizhou immediately frowned: "Let's see who dares?"

But thinking carefully about what Gu Feiwan said, it made sense. After thinking for a while, he finally shouted outside:

"Bring me my thickest cloak!"

Gu Feiwan smiled secretly, this trick has always worked on Madam Chen, it seems Ning Weizhou will fall for it too!

The two maids, Qingshuang and Qinglin, put down their sewing baskets, rummaged through the drawers and took out Gu Feiwan's thickest clothes. They let Ning Weizhou take a look and only let him change them when he was satisfied.

As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw two people standing in the corridor, one tall and one short, both dressed as if they were going out.
