675 Haste makes waste

This was the first time that third aunt Gu had complained to her family ever since she got married.

Seeing that she was really bored, the Gu family stayed with her for a while and only left after dinner.

Before Cai Xiaolian left, she even told third aunt Gu that she would give her something good in two days to relieve her boredom so that she would not be bored in the future.

On the way back, Gu Xin asked, ” “Mother, are you going to give third aunt the cards that you used to play with sister Huihui and sister?”

“No,” Cai Xiaolian shook her head,”I’m going to make something for your third aunt to play with for four. Father, mother, aunt Xiao, you can try it out when the time comes. It’s quite fun. When the Father’s exam is over, you can come over and play with his aunt. I’m sure you’ll feel that time passes quickly.”

Grandpa Gu was the first to agree. He also felt sorry for his daughter, but the doctor had said that the pregnancy was unstable. He was still afraid that something would happen. It was not easy for this woman to get pregnant and give birth. He did not want anything to happen to his daughter.

Since they were both in the prefecture, it was good to come over and accompany his daughter.

Gu Nian knew that her mother was referring to Mahjong. She did not know how to play it as she felt that it was a waste of time.

But Cai Xiaolian knew how to play Mahjong. She started a business from scratch, and after she grew big, there would always be some inevitable dinner and card games. Moreover, her Mahjong skills were much better than card games.

……

The next morning, Gu shouxin took Cai Xiaolian to find a place to make Mahjong and tablecloth.

At noon, he had lunch at the Li family’s house and said goodbye to Empress Jiang. Empress Jiang would be leaving Qing Province at 19.

Duke Rong and his wife had decided to stay. They had nothing to do in the capital, so they wanted to spend more time with their daughter and grandson. Furthermore, Madam Xie wanted to be li Muyan’s military counselor and take care of him. Her plan was to return to the capital next year and hold the wedding for her two children. Then, she would be able to hold her great-grandson. At that time, the Duke Rong residence, which had been quiet for decades, would become lively again.

Lu Zheng didn’t join them during the meal. Xue Qianyu was quite disappointed. This kid, he was about to leave but he didn’t come to see them off. It was boring.

After what happened last time, Gu Xin was also secretly observing Li Shan.

She realized that Li Shan treated her and her sisters quite well. Even if sister Huihui did not like to smile or talk to people, she did not feel embarrassed.

If she hadn’t seen the clear crack on the wooden railing that day, she would have suspected that she was overthinking it.

Thinking of the broken mark, she was still firm in her decision.

Sure enough, after dinner, Li Shan started playing with the two sisters again. There was still an element of fishing for information. With Gu Xin’s reminder, Gu Si was also on her guard. Hence, the two sisters started to act innocent and did not say anything important.

Li Shan was both angry and hateful. She felt that the two younger ones of the Gu family were definitely stupid, but she did not dare to touch the older two, afraid that she would be exposed.

she already knew that li muyan was happy and concerned about her. how could these two girls not know? why were they still playing dumb?

she consoled herself. don’t worry, don’t worry. there’s still a year’s time. you can’t eat hot tofu if you’re anxious.

the most important thing now was to get rid of li muyan.

……

At night, after Lu Zheng was done with his work, he called Xue Qianyu out.

“I thought you weren’t going to send me off!” Xue qianxun said.

“I just had something to do. Right, what do you plan to do after going back? I’m afraid that this time your parents are going to arrange a marriage for you?” Lu Yang said.

“Second Lu, what are you planning? Do the Lu and Lin families need you to plan so much? If you work for the Emperor, they won’t dare to do anything to you!” Xue qianxun furrowed his brows. He could not bear to see his little friend working so hard outside.

“don’t meddle in my business! you wouldn’t understand even if i told you. I just want to remind you that after your parents get you engaged, don’t tell me that I don’t want to attend your wedding!” Lu Zheng laughed.

“How did you know that my parents were going to arrange a marriage for me?” Xue qianxun frowned. How did Lu er know about something that even he himself did not know?

“You’ve reached your age! But Xue Er, if you already have someone in your heart, then don’t go and provoke others. Not every girl’s family will give face to your Duke Cheng ‘en’s residence.” Lu Zheng said.
