When Xu He returned to the backyard, he found Gu Hengbo sitting alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the wall, wondering what he was thinking.
When Xu He came to her side, Gu Hengbo was startled and asked with a forced smile: "Why are you back again?"
Xu He took her hand, held it in his palm, and looked at the person in front of him affectionately: "Meisheng, I know everything!"
Gu Hengbo's lips seemed to be about to say something, but she opened and closed them slightly and then said nothing. She turned her pretty face to one side with a sad look on her face.
Women these days, even women who come from brothels, if they have no reputation or status, it is not easy to stay in other people's homes.
Originally, Xu He was almost in a desperate situation this time.
In grief, Gu Hengbo redeemed himself and came to Xu's house alone, saying that he would keep Xu He safe.
After knowing about it, Ms. Xie did not dislike Gu Hengbo's background. Instead, she was moved by her actions and hugged Gu Hengbo and cried.
In this way, Gu Hengbo settled in the Xu family.
But now Xu He has escaped from death and returned.
As an unmarried woman in Yunying, her situation was embarrassing.
This is also the reason why she just said she wanted to go back to Jinling.
At this time, even if Xu He was a fool, he knew that the other party had deep feelings.
How could he let Gu Hengbo go and return to Jinling?
"You are not allowed to leave!" Xu He said firmly, "You want to be my wife!"
Gu Hengbo turned his head, held Xu He's chin and said affectionately: "Don't be stupid, I am a woman from a prostitute's family, and I live in your house before you get married. You will be gossiped about by others."
Before Xu He could speak, someone at the courtyard gate said: "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You are obviously our family's adopted daughter-in-law. Recently, the family suffered a disaster, so you had no choice but to join us!"
"mother!"
"aunt!"
The person speaking at the door of the courtyard was none other than Xu He's mother, Xie.
Mrs. Xie walked in, rolled her eyes at her son, then took Gu Hengbo's hand and said: "My child, mother knows that you are a good girl. Mother is so happy that Xu He can have such a daughter-in-law! You stay, we two mothers You can also be a companion!”
Gu Hengbo was sold to the academy by her family when she was a child. She never heard someone calling herself her mother. When she heard this, her eyes turned red.
She threw herself into Xie's arms and cried like a child.
Ms. Xie patted her back gently and said with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, good boy, when the time comes, I will ask your uncle to apply for a new birth certificate for you. From now on, you will be a member of our Xu family. Got it!"
Gu Hengbo cried even harder when he heard this. The entanglement, worry, and helplessness he had felt in the past few days all disappeared in this moment.
What followed was a deep joy that enveloped her.
The mother and son cried for a long time. Gu Hengbo finally stopped his tears and said to Xu He with a choked sob: "Liangsheng, can you go out for a while? I'll tell my mother something personal!"
Xu He was stunned when he heard this. What else are you saying behind my back? Am I not the hero of the incident?
Now that Mrs. Xie had a [daughter], she no longer loved her wooden son as before. She glared at Xu He and said, "Did you hear what your sister said?"
Yes, you two nags, I’m superfluous, so I’ll go out.
Xu He stood at the door of the courtyard and waited boredly for about half an hour. Just when he was about to go to the front yard to find two children to check their homework, suddenly, the door of the small courtyard opened, and his mother Xie's eyes were swollen like peaches. came out.
Seeing this, Xu He raised his head and looked at the situation in the backyard.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie glared at him and said, "Come here!"
After that, he led him to a room in the front yard.
After closing the door, Mrs. Xie sat on a chair, looked at her son, and after a long while she sighed and said, "Meisheng is a good girl!"
"This..." Xu He was a little confused by her meaningless sigh.
Mrs. Xie looked at her stupid son and suddenly became very angry: "Meisheng told me that although I will ask your uncle to help her have a new birth, the fake one will be fake. If people find out, your career will be affected in the future!"
Hearing this, Xu He was about to speak, but Mrs. Xie stopped him, and then continued: "So Mei Sheng said that before you get married, you should treat yourself as sister and brother. After you marry your real wife, she will really enter our house. !”
"This..." Xu He frowned and said, "This is too unfair to her, no way!"
Ms. Xie nodded: "But she is also doing it for your own good, so you can't let her down in the future? Do you hear me?"
Xu He nodded and said: "Mom, don't worry, Meisheng will be like this for now. I swear I won't let her suffer even the slightest grievance!"
Xie said seriously: "Mom, I believe you. I have heard some things about my relationship these days. She is a miserable person. I hope you will remember what I said today!"
Xu He nodded solemnly.
Ms. Xie added: "I remember that your uncle has a brother named Gu. When the time comes, ask him to come forward and use some money to go to the Yamen to complete the paperwork. In this way, no one can tell the truth officially!"
Xu He was surprised and said: "Mom, you have been planning this for a long time!"
Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at her son and said, "The eldest girl comes to your door to keep you safe. I have to figure out her parentage, otherwise it will be unclear and cause people to gossip!"
Xu He didn't communicate much with Mr. Xie, and he discovered for the first time today that his mother, who had been fasting and chanting Buddha's name, was actually so thoughtful.
Ms. Xie smiled and said, "Okay, go to the backyard and see your sister Gu!"
Before going out, she turned back to Xu He and said: "He'er, you have just been crowned, you are still young, and you have to be honest in everything. Do you understand what my mother means?"
When Xu He heard this, his old face turned red. It was just like when he was in junior high school, his mother twisted his ears and told him not to fall in love prematurely.
"Mom, don't worry!" It's difficult for Xu He to maintain an expression that says he understands but doesn't quite understand!
After coming out of the room, Xu Hehou rushed to the backyard in a hurry.
Gu Hengbo was embroidering a brocade handkerchief. When he heard the movement, his hand trembled in fright, and he almost stuck the needle on the delicate jade finger of his other hand.
As soon as Xu He entered the door, he smirked at Gu Hengbo in the room.
Gu Hengbo was so laughed that he couldn't even lift his head. He pretended to be calm while threading needles, but he felt that the stitches were scattered.
Xu He stepped forward and put her needlework aside, holding Gu Hengbo with both hands and saying, "Sister Gu!"
Hearing this, Gu Hengbo became even more ashamed: "You, you, don't say frivolous words!"
Xu He did not tease her, but said sincerely: "Sister Gu, don't worry, I won't let you be wronged!"
When Gu Hengbo heard this, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Xu He, then nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Xu He couldn't help but sigh, who said there is no benefit to learning Eight-part Pattern?
Look at this scene, isn't it just [a coward with a furrowed eyebrow, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes looking forward to it]?
Combined with the vivid reality, Xu He felt that his knowledge had improved again!
