Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 282 Xiao Gui and Cao Sui
Qiao Wei looked at Gu Lingyun's slightly evasive eyes and had some guesses in his mind, "This makes me seem a little nosy."

Gu Lingyun said she didn't dare, "Sister, I don't have such intention."

Qiao Wei had a gentle smile on his face. "I was just joking and making fun of myself, but it made you suspicious. Get up. If you keep kneeling, it will seem that I am unkind and am bullying others by taking advantage of my husband's family."

How could Gu Lingyun really dare to put Qiao Wei in an unjust position? But Qiao Wei came today and brought the daughter of the Sun family with him. This scene was indeed a bit confusing.

She carefully looked at Qiao Wei's face and didn't see any sign of unhappiness on his part, as if what he had just said was really just a joke.

But she was not sure what Qiao Wei meant by this, so she could only look to Old Madam Xun for help. Seeing that Old Madam Xun also laughed and scolded, "Madam Qiao asked you to stand up, why are you still kneeling?"

Only then did Gu Lingyun dare to stand up.

"Actually, I brought Doctor Zhang here for selfish reasons. This is Xiao Qiao's first pregnancy, after all. As her elder sister, I can't help but hope that she would be better and better. If I hadn't seen with my own eyes that her pregnancy was safe and sound, I would always be worried. But no matter how much I dote on Xiao Qiao, she is now a wife of the Zhou family, and it is not wrong for her to go beyond the authority of the mistress of the family. Otherwise, people with ulterior motives would talk about me, saying that my elder sister is frivolous and arrogant, and that Xiao Qiao is disrespectful to the mistress." Qiao Wei sighed and looked at Old Madam Xun.

At this point, Old Madam Xun naturally understood that Qiao Wei was here to support Qiao Rong.

"Look at what my niece said. Since we are one family, we shouldn't talk about our differences.

In fact, my niece is also a person who is afraid of bothering others. Since it is a doctor carefully selected by you, he must be an excellent one. "Old Madam Xun waved her hand and looked at Gu Lingyun, "Let's take Doctor Zhang to see it together. It would be good to have more doctors to check it out for confirmation."

So the group got up and walked towards Gu Lingchen's main house together. Qiao Wei carefully supported Qiao Rong and followed slowly behind Old Lady Xun who was holding Sun Deng. Following behind was Sun An, and at the end was Gu Lingyun.

Qiao Yong knew that Qiao Wei's visiting card was rejected by Madam Gu. She thought she would never see her sister again, but she didn't expect Qiao Wei to use Madam Xun's connections to see her.

She held Qiao Wei's hand tightly, her eyes showing both joy and worry.

Qiao Wei gave her a look that said "don't worry" and gently placed one hand on Qiao Yong's belly, which made Qiao Yong give him a reproachful look.

If he wasn't embarrassed in front of so many people, Qiao Wei really wanted to pinch Qiao Rong's face. With such a pitiful face, every frown, smile and coquettish expression of hers made people's heart tremble.

As I got closer to Gu Lingchen's room, I could smell a rich and bitter smell of medicine.

The maid went in and informed Gu Lingchen that Old Madam Xun, Qiao Wei and others had come to visit, and even the doctor had come with them.

She was shocked at first, then lowered her voice and said angrily, "She has already met Qiao through Madam Xun's connections, so why is she here?"

Mrs. Huo beside her said, "Madam, etiquette cannot be neglected. I will help you get up first!"

Even though Gu Lingchen was unhappy, she let Mrs. Huo wash up and invite the guest in. Gu Lingchen struggled to perform the formalities, but Qiao Wei quickly held her down, "Since Madam is not feeling well, let's not bother with these formalities. Lie down and recuperate! I was just passing by Shu County and wanted to visit Xiao Qiao. I knew Madam was not feeling well, so I came to visit Madam. Madam, please don't blame me for not knowing etiquette for coming here uninvited!"

Gu Lingchen knew that what she meant was to point out that he had rejected the visiting invitation, but she had already come to him uninvited, so what else could Gu Lingchen say!

"We are all relatives, wouldn't it be awkward to always talk about etiquette?" Gu Lingchen could only follow Qiao Wei's words, but then he changed the subject and continued, "I am not in good health, and my concubine sister is in charge of all the household affairs. She is new to the job, and I am afraid that she will show her weakness in public, so I rejected your invitation. I hope your wife won't mind!"

Gu Lingyun, whose name was suddenly called, was suddenly humiliated in front of everyone. Even though she was used to Gu Lingchen's domineering attitude, she felt as embarrassed and ashamed as if her clothes were stripped off in public.

But she lowered her eyes, hiding the resentment in them, and knelt in front of Qiao Wei, "It's all my fault, Madam, please don't take it personally."

"Madam has also said that we are all relatives, and it is not appropriate to always pay attention to etiquette." Qiao Wei ignored the dirty talk between the two sisters and raised his hand to let Gu Lingyun stand up. "Your wife is modest. As a daughter of the Gu family, your wife is capable, and you are naturally not inferior. When I came in, I saw that the yard was well organized, which shows your dedication."

Everyone can draw hatred. Gu Lingchen wanted to draw hatred for Qiao Wei, so Qiao Wei drew some hatred for her as well.

Of course, even if Qiao Wei hadn't created hatred for her, Gu Lingyun wouldn't have had much good feelings towards Gu Lingchen.

"I am just following the rules, all this is Madam's credit." Gu Lingyun did not dare to take credit, "If it weren't for Mrs. Qiao's current physical condition, she should be the one who took care of these chores, and she would definitely be more adept at it than me."

After these words were spoken, even Gu Lingchen's expression turned a little unhappy. After all, when the Zhou family accepted Qiao Yong, they had already promised that Qiao Yong would be the housekeeper.

In other words, the Zhou family had already implicitly expressed that they had given up on Gu Lingchen, and only allowed Gu Lingchen to occupy the title of the main wife. When she died, they would make Qiao Rong the main wife.

It was precisely because of this that Qiao Wei repeatedly warned Qiao Rong that after marriage she must stay by Zhou Yu's side, not return to Shu County unless it was absolutely necessary, and avoid the dirty things in Zhou's inner house.

Now that Qiao Rong is pregnant, it is a good thing for the Zhou family, but it may not be the case for the Gu sisters.

Gu Lingchen was the mistress of the family. Although she was not dead yet, the Zhou family seemed to have already arranged everything as if they were preparing for her funeral.

In order to maintain the marriage with the Zhou family, her mother's family even asked her to send her sister to the Zhou family as a concubine. How could she tolerate this?

As for Gu Lingyun, her mother's family sacrificed her original marriage and sent her to the Zhou family. So she might have a chance to compete for the position of the principal wife. She definitely didn't want to be like her biological mother, who was obviously a concubine but was trapped for her whole life because of her illegitimate status and couldn't hold her head up.

Then the appearance of Qiao Yong, who was pregnant and had the promise of the housekeeper, was undoubtedly a thorn in the eyes of all the sisters.

Qiao Wei looked at Gu Lingyun deeply. The inquiry and coldness in his eyes made Gu Lingyun dare not look at him any longer and he quickly lowered his head.
