The news that Xie Haoyuan's family was about to return home had long been reported to Gu Ruosu's ears by Mo Lu, a girl who specializes in inquiring about information in the outer courtyard. Naturally, what was reported also included the story of Pan Xiaoniang snatching the husband and getting into the car. drama.
Dark Green stood in front of Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing at this moment, standing uneasily, fearing that Gu Ruosu would turn against her in the next second and rush to find Pan Xiaoniang to let her understand the meaning of being a concubine, thereby hurting the relationship between mother and son.
But what surprised Dark Green was that Gu Ruosu didn't get angry, but frowned slightly, "Oh." He said he understood and asked her to leave.
Dark Green was shocked. She didn't know when her master had changed his gender. Could it be that he was ill and confused? But this is not something that she, a slave, can explore. She just needs to do her part. Thinking about it, he quietly glanced at Xie Ruqing, who was sitting next to Gu Ruosu.
"You don't have to worry about the fourth brother who is a clear official but is confused about men and women. The boss will wake him up." Xie Ruqing said while peeling the orange.
Gu Ruosu took the orange from Xie Ruqing's hand and said, "I don't care. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I can't tell him that Pan Xiaoniang is not a good person. He himself is unwilling to accept this fact, no matter what others say. use."
"This is why you can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep~"
Xie Ruqing handed the tea to Gu Ruosu again and said, "Yes, Madam is right."
"Even the fourth daughter-in-law is probably furious to death. She didn't even go to other houses, so she went to her house because of such a scourge."
"I heard that Pan Xiaoniang is a helpless orphan girl that the fourth met when she was working as an official in another place. Do you think this is a coincidence or was it premeditated?" Gu Ruosu said with a gossipy face.
Xie Ruqing couldn't help laughing when she saw Gu Ruosu's eagerness for knowledge, and then said: "Pan's original name is Xiao Yun, she is the direct daughter of Chopin, the governor of Qingzhou. Chopin spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and the head lady Pan is now Pan Xiaoniang. His biological mother couldn't bear this, so she broke up with Chopin in a cruel move. Chopin disliked that Xiao Yun was a girl, so when the two of them reconciled, Pan also took Xiao Yun away from Xiao's family. From then on, Xiao Yun returned to her maternal nature. , named Pan Yun. There was no powerful maternal clan behind the Pan family, and the family relationship was weak. The mother and daughter rented a house in a small county in Qingzhou to make a living by washing clothes for her. When Pan Xiaoniang grew up to twelve or thirteen years old, , Mrs. Pan died due to years of hard work. In order to collect her mother's body, Pan Xiaoniang sold her body on the street to bury her. She happened to meet our fourth child. The delicate beauty shed tears. Of course, the fourth child came to rescue her. Feng Laosi was sent away to serve as an official at that time, but Wei did not follow him because she was pregnant. She was left alone with only one son and one daughter, so she just came and went."
"What you just said was a coincidence or a premeditation. I think it was a premeditation. Pan Xiaoniang's mother had been gone for more than ten days at that time, and her body was already stinking in Yizhuang. If she was really filial and sincere, she would never There was no reason why her biological mother had been left in the righteous village for more than ten days without being cared about. Moreover, she had not sold her body to bury her mother earlier, but she had not sold her body to bury her later. However, she came to sell her body to bury her mother after learning that the fourth child was going to inspect the county the next day. , it’s too far-fetched to say it’s a coincidence.”
"Then since it's all deliberate, is there some conspiracy behind it? For example, your enemy deliberately provoked it?"
"My wife is smart. Later, the fourth child came to report me for taking a concubine. I also asked people to check on Pan Xiaoniang. There was no conspiracy behind her. She was just a woman who wanted to become a phoenix in troubled times. However, I was not there at that time. When I thought that she could hold the fourth child's heart tightly, and for more than ten years, the fourth child has always been loyal to her, asking for honor for honor, and money for money, she surprised me very much." said As he spoke, a trace of annoyance flashed across Xie Ruqing's face.
"That's natural. After all, you are a man, and you are not proficient in the affairs of the inner house. At first glance, she is the reincarnation of that thousand-year-old vixen. You have had several women, and you must not be able to see the twists and turns in this. Come on~" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing with a look of confusion on her face.
"What Madam said is that I still need to learn the truth behind this. I still need to learn from it."
"However, I have to trouble Madam to take care of Ms. Wei more in the future. She is the direct daughter of the Wei family, and she has been doted on by many people. When I came to propose marriage on behalf of the fourth child, the fourth child was just a candidate, and she was not yet married. She took the scientific examination and became an official. It was a high achievement for us. She accompanied the fourth child all the way until he became an official. Unexpectedly, the fourth child failed her in her deep love and affection. He even made some moves to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, and gave birth to a child by a concubine. Being as dignified as a legitimate child is also my fault. The boss and I were fighting in the court at that time. We only cared about our own career and failed to intervene in the matter in time. When the boss and I came to our senses, the fourth boss would have He has a deep love for Pan Xiaoniang, and is pregnant with our Xie family's heir. I want him to drive Pan Xiaoniang out of the house, but that is not allowed under any circumstances. After all, it is our Xie family who can't help her."
"It's easy to talk about, it's all trivial. I quite like this girl Yihua. She's smart, good-looking, knowledgeable, and she often accompanies me to relieve my boredom."
[Moreover, this girl Yihua didn’t know where she got so many pictures of beautiful men and story books to discuss the subtleties with her. She was really filial~ She even said she would play mahjong with me in a few days~ Happy Double it~]
"Well, she seems to be a very sensible person. Let her come to you more often. After a few years, we can arrange a marriage for her and we will provide her with a generous dowry. A filial child should Have a smooth life." Xie Ruqing recalled Xie Yihua's appearance and the reviews brought by his subordinates, and felt that it was good to have a stable person accompanying his daughter-in-law, so she said with approval immediately.
Of course, when on a dark and windy night, he found a bunch of high-definition pictures of beautiful men and a bunch of anecdotal notebooks under his wife's bed, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face, and then kill the culprit. Shoot the culprit to death...
This is all for later...
"Will the Fourth Brother come to see us later?"
Xie Ruqing nodded and said, "Yes, when he returns home, he will come to see us. Why, do you want to meet his Miss Pan and those children?"
Gu Ruosu smiled awkwardly, but she really didn't expect Xie Ruqing to see through her purpose at once and tell her.
"Don't I know little about Lao Si and his family? I want to recognize their faces~"
"Madam, what you said makes sense. Then I will ask the fourth child to bring his wife, Pan Xiaoniang and the children to see you later."
With that said, Xie Ruqing silently moved the pile of pastries that Gu Ruosu had already eaten more than half of, and placed a bowl of sour plum soup in front of Gu Ruosu, which was helpful for digestion, and motioned for Gu Ruosu to drink it.
As Gu Ruosu picked up the sour plum soup and started drinking it, she sighed in her heart that Xie Ruqing was indeed a good husband. Since he came back, he would personally take care of and participate in everything related to her food, clothing, housing and transportation, no matter how big or small it was. Husband, it would be great if he could really be her husband~
Gu Ruosu thought of this and looked at the shadows of the two people on the ground in silence.
