Chapter 20 What is there to be wronged

Shen Guiyan frowned slightly, and before she opened her mouth to say anything, Mrs. Gu said, "It's blood relationship after all, how can we hurt our relationship because of some misunderstandings? Guiyan is not such a stingy person, Yaer, how can you hurt me?" Think about it."

They have finished talking good and bad things, so what else does she have to say?Shen Guiyan stood beside her stiffly, but Shen Guiya came over and took her hand and said, "It's best if my sister doesn't hold grudges against my sister. If you really can't forgive my sister, then my sister has nothing to say. After all, it's me. Mistakes come first..."

Shen Guiya's expression was genuine, and her tone was full of pitiful sighs. Everyone in the hall felt that she was innocent. If Shen Guiyan didn't say a few words of forgiveness, it would mean that she was narrow-minded and wanted to make trouble with her sisters. up.

No one cares about Mrs. Xu who is kneeling in the living room. After Shen Guiya's true feelings, the crime will naturally not fall on her again.

Shen Guiyan looked at Shen Guiya again, sighed, she couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of her heart, she lowered her eyes and said: "Grandma is right, how could I blame you."

Shen Guiya smiled through tears, and said happily: "I'm relieved if my sister thinks about it."

Prime Minister Gu sat in the main seat without saying a word, and when he finished speaking, he said: "Let's leave the matter in the backyard to the madam. If anyone dares to harm the master and slander the master, he will not be handed over to the prison." For now, there is no need to mention this matter again.”

Mrs. Gu heaved a sigh of relief, and responded with a smile.

The people in the hall dispersed, Gu Chaobei pulled Shen Guiyan and walked out.There was also the crying of Mrs. Xu from behind: "I didn't falsely accuse the master, it was really given by the young lady..."

Shen Guiyan frowned.

"Why is fourth brother walking so fast?" Gu Chaodong followed up from behind, calling Gu Chaobei, but reaching out to pull Shen Guiyan's sleeve.

"Brother." Shen Guiyan called him calmly, and Gu Chaobei also stopped and turned around.Gu Chaodong coughed lightly and withdrew his hand, looked at them and said, "The fourth sibling has just entered the mansion and is not very familiar with the mansion. I want to prevent Ya'er from taking her around..."

"Don't worry about it, brother." Gu Chaobei curled his lips and said, "Yan'er has to go back to the North Courtyard to rest first. She was too tired yesterday, so she must have no energy to walk around."

Shen Guiyan: "..." Although there was nothing wrong with it, I always felt something was weird.

Gu Chaodong's face was a little stiff, he frowned and looked at Gu Chaobei, Gu Chaobei looked back at him calmly, the two of them were in a stalemate for a while before being interrupted by Shen Guiya who followed behind.

"Master, what are you doing?" Shen Guiya came over with a smile and hugged Gu Chaodong's arm, glanced at Gu Chaobei, and said, "The fourth brother and younger siblings must be busy returning to the north courtyard, there are still so many people in the courtyard Waiting for tea, don't delay them?"

Gu Chaodong took a deep breath, nodded, but couldn't help but said like a lover: "Fourth brother, since you have married Yan'er, don't let her down, the people in your yard..."

"Thank you, brother, for your concern." Shen Guiyan interrupted him: "It's better for brother to call me sister-in-law."

Gu Chaodong was taken aback for a moment, but Gu Chaobei's expression turned brighter: "Well, if it's too late, brother, let's talk another day if you have anything to say, Yan'er and I will go back first."

"...Okay." Gu Chaodong finally gave way.

Gu Chaobei snorted softly, grabbed Shen Guiyan's hand and continued walking towards the north courtyard.

"Do you feel wronged?" Gu Chaobei asked Shen Guiyan when he was approaching the North Courtyard.

Shen Guiyan was a little puzzled: "Why are you wronged?"

"You know who did it, but you can't let her be punished, you can only let her go, do you feel wronged?" Gu Chaobei lowered his eyes.

Shen Guiyan chuckled lightly: "What is there to be wronged about?"

In the Shen Mansion before, this was commonplace, and she was used to it.

Gu Chaobei stopped and looked back at her in surprise.Shen Guiyan stood upright, smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not someone who can't bear to be wronged, and I don't think about revenge on the spur of the moment. A person's life is so long, it's meaningless to rush for a moment. "

When you don't have enough strength, thinking about revenge will only increase your burden. It's better to spend more time on yourself and be stronger than that person, so that you have a better chance to return all the accounts.

After being stunned for a while, Gu Chaobei smiled, and his expression became much more relaxed.Sure enough, he picked up a treasure, not because it was so good, but because it was just right for him.

"There are still many people in the north courtyard who want to greet you, so don't be angry." Gu Chaobei continued to walk forward with a smile: "You must be prepared."

Shen Guiyan nodded solemnly, she had done her homework before she married, and she knew how many people there were in Gu Chaobei's yard.

Let's put it this way, as long as the Gu family sent maids to the North Courtyard, young and beautiful, none of them could escape Gu Chaobei's clutches.When this guy was 16 years old, he even went out to hook up with a concubine from the head of the house and came back to be his aunt.Although he is the youngest young master in the mansion, Gu Chaobei's yard is the largest with the most people.

Shen Guiyan sat on the main seat in the north courtyard, and saw rows of servant girls standing below. The woman standing at the front was about her age, with warm eyes, leading a group of women to salute her: "Young Madam well."

This is not a backyard, it is clearly a harem!Shen Guiyan helped Fu's forehead, and at a glance, there were seven or eight girls without counting, and Gu Chaobei's energy was really good enough.

"No courtesy, I'm new here, I still need your advice." Shen Gui, headed by Yan Chao, nodded slightly.

Mrs. Jiang returned her a salute: "Madam is kind, there are many maids in this yard, Madam has to worry about it."

After speaking, let the people behind you come up one by one to greet them.

Shen Guiyan was fortunate to have a precious fan with a good memory beside her, otherwise she would not be able to remember the series of names.It took three cups of tea just to see the ceremony one by one, and the only person she had a little impression of was Shuang Jiang, although she was only a housemaid, but it was said that Gu Chaobei liked it very much.

Taking a second look, I don't think there's anything special about that Shuang Jiang, he's pretty good-looking, he doesn't talk much, but his hands and feet are nimble.Probably because he worked more steadily and won Gu Chaobei's favor.

At the moment when she was presenting the ceremony, Gu Chaobei had already disappeared, and he didn't know where to go to play.Shen Guiyan gradually settled down, and after getting acquainted with the environment of the Gu mansion, she began to tidy up the affairs of the North Courtyard.

This marriage was not what she had wholeheartedly expected, and it could only be called forced.She neither likes nor dislikes Gu Chaobei, but life has to go on.Shen Guiyan actually doesn't have any big goals, as long as he can take care of himself alone.If you are lucky enough to reach it, then you will love the world at the same time.

After all, Gu's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the cost of food and clothing is naturally much better than that of the Minister's Mansion.Mrs. Gu is in charge of the entire mansion's expenses, but recently Shen Guiya married in, and she has a sweet mouth and troubles, so Madam Gu handed over the shopping and meal planning in the mansion to her.

Breakfast has already been eaten, and lunch is served in their respective yards.Shen Guiyan was a little surprised looking at the bowl of duck soup on the table, thinking that the prime minister's mansion is really generous, and everyone who has no festivals and no problems will serve such a big meat dish, usually only small meat.

Gu Chaobei said that he went out to play with some friends, and Shen Guiyan didn't care if he didn't come back for dinner. After the meal, he walked around the North courtyard and went back to read.

As a result, for dinner, there was a cup of bird's nest and several meat dishes on the table.

Shen Guiyan took the chopsticks and asked Jiang Shi next to her, "Is the dinner in the prime minister's mansion also so rich?"

Jiang shook her head: "Dinner is usually porridge and side dishes, which is the way to maintain one's health."

Then why are these things sent to her?Shen Guiyan was very puzzled, got up and said to Baoshan: "Don't eat for now, follow me to the kitchen."

The precious fan answered, and the master and servant went to the kitchen. Before they got there, they heard a servant girl yelling: "The bird's nest belongs to my master, why did you bring it to the north courtyard?"

Master Tian, ​​who was in charge of the spoon in the kitchen, waved his hand and said, "I'm busy here, who can see who brought what? The north courtyard brought it wrong, why don't you go and get it back?"

The little maid Shuang'er was so angry that she turned around and was about to go out, but she was caught by Aunt Lin on the side: "Oh, grandma, did you really listen to that rough man to go to the North Court to get it? The fourth young lady of the North Court is the relative of the young lady Elder sister, and the daughter-in-law handpicked by the master, your master is just an aunt, how dare you fight with her?"

Shuang'er was unconvinced and said: "If you have status, you can take other people's things at will? The bird's nest was bought with my master's own money, why should I give it to her for nothing?"

Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows, glanced at Bao Shan next to her, Bao Shan shook her head quickly: "Master, I didn't serve it, today's food was delivered by the kitchen."

Shuang'er was gnashing her teeth and wanted to go to the second young master for comment, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Guiyan standing outside, she was startled immediately, and her anger became much less angry: "Fourth young lady..."

Shen Guiyan smiled at her, walked over and said, "I just wanted to come over and ask why I took everything to the north courtyard. It turned out that the kitchen sent the wrong ones. The bird's nest belongs to your master, so you follow Bao Just fan it back and end it."

Shuang'er took a step back, carefully sized Shen Guiyan's eyes, and seeing her kind face, she saluted and said, "Thank you, Fourth Young Madam."

Then he followed Baoshan away.

Shen Guiyan looked at the people in the kitchen with a smile. Aunt Lin who spoke just now and Master Tian, ​​who was in charge of the spoon, immediately looked serious: "Why is the Fourth Young Madam here?"

"At this point, I think you should be very busy, so I won't delay any longer." Shen Guiyan took two steps forward, took something for Aunt Lin and Master Tian, ​​and then took a step back and said, "Look at today's Meals, I also know that everyone has taken care of me, thank you very much. But in the future, eat according to the rules, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, what do you think?"

There were quite a lot of people in the kitchen, Shen Guiyan's action of stuffing the money was subtle, but his words were bright and dignified, all the people in the kitchen secretly looked at this side for a while.
