pampering wife

Chapter 63

Liufang Hall was silent, and the atmosphere was delicate and awkward.Now that Qingmei has made up her mind, she will no longer act coquettishly and give in to ease the atmosphere as usual, she quietly looked at Gu Ronghua for a while, seeing that she was not moving, her eyes wandered around, as if admiring the furnishings in the house, but she did not soften her mouth say.

Gu Changqing next to him originally wanted Gu Ronghua to admit his mistake, so he didn't speak at this time, and just stood there with a stern face.Gu Ronghua's mother and daughter's expectations fell through, and it was difficult to decide whether to really make an apology amidst the embarrassment.

There is an earth dragon buried in the ground of Liufangtang, and a charcoal basin is built in the house, which is warm and comfortable on weekdays, but now it makes people feel irritated by the heat.Mrs. Gu glanced at Qingmei's face a few times, seeing that she had no intention of backing down, she reached out and pulled Gu Ronghua's skirt after all.

The meaning of this movement was so obvious, Gu Ronghua looked at Mrs. Gu in disbelief, and saw her nodding her head helplessly, there seemed to be a hint of pleading hidden in her gaze.

Gu Ronghua's glamorous face flushed instantly. Although her status was not considered noble, she was quite different from Qingmei after all.Now she was asked to apologize to Qingmei?She twisted the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, with resentment in her eyes, but Madam Gu stared at her closely, and the hand holding her skirt became tighter and tighter.

In the extreme silence, Gu Ronghua froze, finally facing Qingmei, and said in a blunt tone: "I was the one who said what I said just now, please forgive me, sister." Those words seemed to pop out one by one, full of dissatisfaction. willing.

"Oh." Qingmei couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she only responded indifferently.

The room went cold for a moment.Qing Mei secretly looked at everyone's faces——

Gu Changqing seemed to be relieved, and looked at Qingmei with some comfort; Gu Ronghua's face was sullen, and he never looked at Qingmei again after that sentence of apology. Madam Gu is probably dissatisfied with Qingmei's cold and rigid attitude, and she doesn't even bother to smile.

In such a situation, what's the point of staying?
Qingmei hesitated for a moment, then bent her knees and said to Mrs. Gu: "Auntie, there is something that Qingmei wants to discuss with you." She still has a well-behaved appearance, but her tone is flat, her attitude is respectful and distant, and she no longer has the usual soft words and coquetry .

Gu Ronghua next to him heard the words and said: "Mom, Zhang Mama is still boiling medicine for me, I will go back first." Madam Gu said: "Go, take good care of yourself." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Qingmei up, and his face was piled up. Feeling kindly, he said, "What's the matter?"

"During this period of time, Qingmei was very grateful for being taken care of by my aunt. However, the princess ordered me to brew fruit wine before the New Year's Eve next year. I have bought all the utensils and fruits. The wine making affairs are cumbersome, and it is inconvenient in the house, and there is no one. Helper. I thought it would be better to move out to live, not only for the convenience of travel, but also for the family I visited earlier who are familiar with brewing and can help me a bit.”

"How can this be done?" Mrs. Gu was of course not happy. "You are my daughter, so naturally you should live in the mansion. What will you do outside? What's more, you have to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion in two days. You still have a lot to learn. .”

daughter?Qingmei sneered in her heart.She just bit her lip and looked at Mrs. Gu, keeping silent without saying a word, with a somewhat stubborn demeanor.

Mrs. Gu sighed and said: "Today's matter is indeed wrong with Ronghua, and I didn't expect her to have such thoughts. If you move out because of this, what should I do if others talk about it in the future?" There was some sadness and apology on Cun's face, Madam Gu's tone was extremely gentle, "Qingmei, no matter what, I am your aunt who is connected by blood, you really..." Beautiful eyes slightly closed, and a tear fell.

As soon as the hat was buttoned, Qingmei was slightly startled.It was true that I was a little emotional just now, and moving out at this juncture, wouldn't it just ruin Mrs. Gu's reputation?Alas, wrong timing!
At the beginning, he should have refused to enter the Gu's residence, but now that he has moved in, it is a bit difficult to move out without any disturbance.Qingmei sighed inwardly, quickly shook her head and said: "Auntie misunderstood, I just wanted to move out for the convenience of wine making."

"I will ask Erlang to help you with the wine making." Mrs. Gu looked up at Gu Changqing, and then said to Qingmei: "I have accepted the invitation of Mrs. Wu'anhou, and I will visit her house in a few days. You can follow with peace of mind. Mother He, let's talk about this later, okay?" The voice was very gentle, but her face was vaguely determined, as if she had expected Qingmei to give up the idea of ​​moving out after she had been to Wu'anhou's mansion.

Qingmei smiled slightly. Could it be that she still couldn't say no, and insisted on resigning there?I had to say: "It's all according to my aunt's orders."

Anyway, with the foreshadowing of this incident, each of them knows each other's thoughts well, and when the time is right to mention it in the future, they are not afraid that they will not be able to get rid of their sympathy.Qingmei's slight goodwill and fantasies towards Mrs. Gu have long been shattered, and now the Gu family has nothing to miss her, and her plan is very simple - if Mrs. Gu still has some kindness, she will try not to cut off the last one. A little bit of affection, otherwise, why bother to rely on others to help yourself?
As for Mrs. Gu's thoughts and attitude, I'm afraid it will become clear when she arrives at the Marquis of Wu'an's residence.Qingmei plans to go to the banquet together, and then find out.

Gu Changqing had been standing idly by the side for a long time, seeing that the two had apparently reconciled, he bowed to resign, and Qingmei followed him.
