The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 159: Gains and Losses (2)
The tone was very dissatisfied, the princess used all good things, she had nothing to say when the princess took the initiative to give it away, but now it is clearly the other party's euphemistic hint.Gu Lan just bullied her princess to be soft-hearted, so if she changed to someone more powerful, how dare she be so blatant?
Princess Shou'an smiled lightly, "Young master, don't you know?"

Liu Xia shook her head, "The princess didn't say anything, and Gu Lan didn't wear those when she came to the princess's place, so my uncle hasn't noticed yet." How about Gu Lan playing tricks, always dressed plainly Come on, when the princess saw how simple she was, her heart softened a little. If Gu Lan wore the good clothes that the princess gave her, the princess wouldn't be so extravagant all the time.

"You find an opportunity to remind my uncle that he is a smart man and knows what to do." Princess Shou'an turned the sapphire ring on her finger, and her voice suddenly became cold, "If Gu Lan doesn't change his mind, marry him sooner." Just go out." At fourteen, not too young, if she is sensible, she will find her a good husband's house in the capital, but if she is not, she will pick a shabby household for her, and Gu Heng dare not say anything.Wanting to take advantage of her daughter, the village girl didn't care how much she weighed.

Liuxia understood.

Back at Gu's house, Liuxia endured it for two days, but after seeing the princess was coaxed away by Gu Lan to take away a pair of fine jade earrings, Liuxia couldn't help it anymore.At dusk when Gu Heng came back from the Hanlin Academy, while Meng Xianxian was taking a bath, Liu Xia pretended to tidy up Meng Xianxian's dressing table, rummaged through things for a while, and asked another big maid, Chaoyang, "Did you see the pair of emerald earrings of the Princess?" ?"

The two have served Meng Xianxian together for many years, and they can tell what the other is thinking with just one look. Chaoyang immediately cooperated with a smile and said, "Oh, the girl came to play in the afternoon, and she liked it, so the Princess gave the pair of earrings to the girl."

Liuxia murmured softly, "Again? Didn't you just give me a mutton jade hairpin yesterday?"

Chaoyang secretly glanced at the man leaning on the couch reading a book, shook his head quietly, signaling her to stop talking.

Liu Xia curled her lips, turned and walked out, and Chao Yang also went out after a while.

Both of them left, Gu Heng slowly put down the book in his hand, stared blankly at his wife's dressing table for a while, got up and went to his sister's yard.

Gu Lan was fiddling with her jewelry box, and she was fascinated by every piece of jewelry Meng Xianxian gave her.When she heard that her elder brother was coming, she didn't move, she just asked the servant girl to lead him in, she continued to sit on the couch, with the corners of her lips curled up to marvel at the bunch of treasures in front of her.

"Your sister-in-law gave these?" Gu Heng entered the room and asked with a frown as he caught a glimpse of the jewel-like color.

Gu Lan nodded happily, without raising her eyes, "Yes, brother, my sister-in-law is so kind to me." How can it be like Jiang Hanzhu, who is reluctant to give her the right bracelet?

"Don't ask for anything from her in the future." Gu Heng said coldly.

As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Gu Lan raised his head in disbelief.

Gu Heng didn't bother to explain too much to his younger sister who hadn't talked much since he was a child, so he directly moved Princess Shou'an out, "Princess Princess already knows, if you are not afraid of offending her, go ahead and ask for it."

The smile on Gu Lan's face froze, thinking of her grandmother's advice, she lowered her head sadly, "I, I know."

The sister-in-law is the princess, not Jiang Hanzhu, and if she is upset, all of the Gu family will be gone.

"Then, I'll take all of these back?" Gu Lan said a little aggrieved, she didn't ask for it, but her sister-in-law gave it to her on her own initiative.

His younger sister was obedient and sensible, but Gu Heng was not as relieved as he expected. Seeing his younger sister caressing those gems and jewelry reluctantly, he felt chest tightness, "No need, since she gave it to you, just keep it, and don't think about her anymore." Things are fine."

One day, he will buy these for his sister by himself.

Back in the main courtyard, Gu Heng faced Meng Xianxian in front of the two maidservants and said, "Alan is ignorant. I haven't seen many good things since I was a child. When I come to you, I don't care about anything. I'm greedy for vanity. I just said Get over her, let her restrain herself, Xianxian, you can't indulge her anymore, lest she do the same when she goes out as a guest, and be ridiculed."

Hearing that my sister-in-law was being scolded, Meng Xianxian couldn't help but want to speak for her, but was interrupted by Gu Heng with a smile, "I know you like her, but you can't indulge her. You can give her whatever she wants. This is coddling, not education. Girlhood, sister, you can't bear to refuse, how can you tell me to rest assured when we have a baby in the future?"

With gentle eyes, he touched her belly with his big hand, and Meng Xianxian lowered her head shyly.

Seeing Liuxia Chaoyang, she backed out with a snickering smile.

Gu Heng glanced at their backs, his eyes flashed with displeasure.

But he knew that he borrowed Meng Xianxian's light, and it was his own fault to be looked down upon by the maids around her.

At night when the couple rested, Gu Heng's hands became heavier, Meng Xianxian softly begged for mercy, Gu Heng listened to her soft inhalation, thought of Princess Shou'an's aloofness in front of him, and thought of those maids who thought they were smart reminders , no matter what.

On the second day, Meng Xianxian didn't wake up until the sun was high. Although he was not very comfortable, but thinking of her husband's gentle apology before going to bed, he forgave him without any resentment.

In November, when the first snow fell, Meng Xianxian was diagnosed with pregnancy, and in June of the following year, she gave birth to a son.

After Fang heard about it, she quietly asked her nephew: "Should we continue to hide this from girl Han? She is going to be a filial piety soon, and she is going to be a guest. Even if we don't tell her, she will hear the news from other people." .”

Cheng Yu shook his head, "Gu Heng is just an outsider to her, and his marriage and childbirth have nothing to do with her, so why tell her?"

If she would be upset because of this, she would be able to stay clean for a few more days if she knew about it later.

Fang thought about it too.

"Mother, cousin is here." Outside the door, Ningzhu walked in in surprise, followed by Zhou Wenting.

Fang smiled and looked at her goddaughter. The ten-year-old girl is a lot taller, and her appearance is even wider. She has white skin, red lips, bright eyes and white teeth. Those almond eyes are as moist as her sister's. Autumn water is demure and gentle, and my sister's is the sparkling water in spring, bright and lively.

After being raised in the uncle's house for so long, the little girl has become a real noble girl, delicate and generous, I believe they would not dare to recognize her even if she stood in front of the Gu family.

Fang was very satisfied, she called Ningzhu to her, held her hand and said, "Tomorrow your sister Han and Ah Xun will formally give their filial piety, let's go to the Marquis Mansion to see them together."

Ningzhu nodded, tilted her head and asked the man opposite, "Is my cousin going too?"

Cheng Yu lowered his eyes, paused for a while, and hummed lightly.

After saying goodbye that night, except for a quick meeting during the Chinese New Year, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year.
