The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Zheng Kaiji came out of the Chrysanthemum Terrace, the steward beside my grandmother bowed and said:

"Master, the Madam asked you to go to the Lotus Pond Moonlight and wait for her. She has something to tell you."

He has been following his grandmother's lead as housekeeper for the past two years, and the lady-in-law has even handed over the management of the family restaurant to him, but she has never called anyone over late at night. The first lady and daughter-in-law Wang both looked a little nervous.

The eldest lady held her eldest grandson's hand and told her son:

"I'll take them back first. Your grandmother is happy and drank some wine tonight, so it's not a good idea to tell her too late."

Zheng Kaiji was mentally prepared for his grandmother to look for him, it was all caused by the words that came out of his mouth at that time.

My grandmother is the old deity in the family, and nothing can be hidden from her eyes.

He relaxed and tried to comfort his mother and the others, "What could possibly happen? It's just that my cousin is back and I want to take her out to relax."

"Ang'er, you've been looking forward to it for a long time. Daddy will take you and aunt to play in the farm tomorrow, okay?"

When the little guy heard this, his face suddenly brightened up and he turned to look at his mother beside him.

Wang smiled and touched the small bun on her son's head. "The teacher said that An Ge'er has been doing well recently. It's time to take him to relax."

The eldest lady listened and nodded. She was the concubine's daughter of the deputy commander of the canal transport, and she knew that the eldest son in a family was placed with high hopes.

When she first heard that she was going to marry Zheng Wenchang, she thought her father was using her, a concubine's daughter, to win over the Zheng family. She felt uneasy but powerless to resist.

After she got married and started living her life, she realized that she was much happier than her sisters and other wives of officials.

Only by experiencing it personally can one understand the wisdom of the mother-in-law's way of educating children. The daughter-in-law is also changing. It's good that she can understand the lady's painstaking efforts.

Zheng Kaiji waited in the moonlight under the lotus pond for almost an hour. His grandfather left him alone in the main room and went back to his room to sleep, and told him not to make his grandmother angry.

Perhaps only my grandfather still treats my grandmother like a little girl.

When Zheng Liu came back, she didn't look tired at all, but her eyes were red.

Zheng Kaiji went forward and held his grandmother's arm, and the two of them walked towards the big kang by the window.

He placed the big pillow behind his grandmother, took the teacup from the maid and handed it to her, "Grandma, are you tired? Will I come back tomorrow?"

"Come and have breakfast with grandma tomorrow morning, and I will tell you everything I know."

Zheng Liu rubbed her brows, lowered her head and drank a sip of tea handed to her by her grandson, rolled her eyes at him, "You are so slick that you tricked your wife back, right?"

Zheng Kaiji sat sideways next to his grandmother and chuckled twice:

"That's because she has never seen the world. She is surrounded by nerds. She has never seen a man like me who is suave, handsome, knowledgeable and humorous."

After hearing what Changsun said, the gloom on Zheng Liu's face dissipated a little, "You, you are such a liar!" Her eyes became a little melancholy again.

There is an eight-year age difference between Changsun and her Chu Jier. If the blood relationship was not so close, she really wanted to marry Chu Jier to the Zheng family!

Zheng Kaiji was raised by his grandmother, and he could guess most of what she was thinking. "Grandma, please don't try to arrange my cousin's marriage. We can just give her more dowry when the time comes!"

Zheng Liu looked at him sharply, "What do you mean by that? And at that time at the Chrysanthemum Terrace, you asked Chu Jie'er if she remembered anything? What happened when she was ten years old?"

Zheng Kaiji raised his eyes and glanced around. There was only Mother Song beside his grandmother in the room. He lowered his head and said a few words in his grandmother's ear.

Zheng Liu was speechless for a long while before she spoke: "How old was Chu Jie'er at that time? How can you count what she said when she was ten years old? Besides, she got drunk and forgot everything about the farm!"

He looked at Changsun with dissatisfaction and warned him, "Zheng Kaiji, you are deliberately testing your cousin today, don't forget who your family is!"

Zheng Kaiji smiled mysteriously, not caring about his grandmother's attitude at all, "Men understand men best, grandma, just wait and see..."

......

When Gu Jinchu woke up, it was already dawn outside.

She didn't even know when her grandmother passed away last night. If she were a child, she would be hugging her pillow and wiping her tears now.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Bai Zhi saw the bed curtain shake, and asked in a low voice while standing outside.

Gu Jinchu held his forehead with his hand. He was groggy and had many dreams last night, but he could not remember anything when he opened his eyes.

It was just what her father and the Gu family had done, and what her grandmother said before she went to bed, and she remembered them all in her heart.

Gu family, this is too much!

Baizhi and Baishao served Gu Jinchu, helping her wash her face and put on makeup, and matching her clothes and jewelry for today.

"Miss, the small kitchen makes all your favorite dishes." Bai Zhi said with a smile.

As expected, people will become cheerful when they return to a familiar place.

Gu Jinchu looked at the two maids in the dressing mirror. Her grandmother and second uncle had given Bai Zhi's family's indentures to her yesterday. Now they were all hers.

Bai Shao was bought into the mansion by her mother later and was considered the first batch of house-born children in the Gu family.

"Baizhi, your mother and brother will be returning to Xianghe with us soon. Go back today and see if there is anything you can do to help them."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Jinchu, her face full of excitement, "Miss, I will be back before dinner."

Gu Jinchu smiled slightly and said, "No rush, just spend time with your family tonight." After that, he winked at Bai Shao next to him and asked her to take out a silver ingot from her purse.

Although Bai Zhi was a bit aggressive, she was not a person who showed her emotions much in the past. She skipped out with the young lady's reward.

Gu Jinchu turned around and looked at Bai Shao, "Why are you envious?"

Bai Shao pursed her lips and said, "I already remember when I was sold. My parents had a younger brother. They said I was greedy and talkative, so they thought it would be better to sell me for some money so that they could raise my younger brother. I don't envy them..."

Gu Jinchu held her hand and comforted her, "You can choose your own in-laws in the future. This is your mother's home."

Bai Shao wiped away her tears and said, "I will never get married!" She was stubborn, and the first master she served was the young lady. She would be the young lady's maid until her death!

After breakfast, Gu Jinchu went to Lotus Pond Moonlight to pay her respects to her grandmother. In the past, she came without asking for permission.

The maid outside smiled and greeted him, saying, "Madam Tai has just had breakfast, and she just asked about Miss Cousin."

She nodded, and walked into the porch in front of the main house, only to remember that there used to be a fruit tree in the small yard in front of her grandmother's window. It produced small black fruits the size of fingernails, which tasted sour and sweet. She wondered if it was still there.

Seeing that they were still in the place I remembered, I walked over, wrapped some of them with a handkerchief and stopped picking them. Just as I stood up, I heard voices coming from inside the room.

"...How can I feel at ease if you don't even explain yourself clearly!" It was my grandmother's voice, and it sounded like she was scolding someone.
