Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 235

Gu Yin was also worried that Gu Ye and Wu Qingyi would not get along well, thinking about how to ease the relationship between the two.

She didn’t expect that without her taking any action at all, the relationship between the two became closer day by day.

First, Gu Ye rode on Wu Qingyi’s shoulders.that day and played all afternoon.

It was getting dark the next day, and the family found an inn to stay in. Wu Qingyi unfastened the horse from the carriage and took him on a horse ride.

The two continued to play until the night was heavy before returning.

Gu Ye went crazy with joy, and took Wu’an’s hand and said, “It’s a pity you didn’t come, it was so fun!”

At that time, Wu’an had just finished writing his homework, and said enviously, “I have asked for a leave, and if I don’t write today, I won’t finish it.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Wu Qingyi also sweated, and said with a smile, “I have spent a lot of time on horseback riding. When I return to Beijing, I will choose a pony for each of you, and you can ride it at home.”

No one could refuse getting a pony. The little kids’ lit up immediately.

“I want a black one!” Gu Ye said immediately.

“Then I want a snow white,” Wu’an thought for a while and said.

After they finished talking, they immediately discussed what name they would give their ponies. Mrs. Wang raised their neck collars one by one and said, “You haven’t played much, so dirty, go take a bath first!”

The family asked for three rooms. 

Wu Qingyi’s room was at the very end near the stairs, and Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang’s room was at the back.

Mrs. Wang took the kids to their room, and only Wu Qingyi and Gu Yin were left.

It had been a while since the two met again, but neither in the thatched hut in Batou Village nor in the carriage on the road, had they been alone together.

Now that she could finally speak quietly for a while, Gu Yin handed him her handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and then asked, “That time you said reinforcements had arrived, but I heard later that only a thousand or so people came.”

At that time, the fine work was still in the army, and the mobilization of the large army would definitely let the emperor get news in advance. Wu Qingyi only asked his confidants to come to support overnight.

More than a thousand people fought against tens of thousands of people. Although most of the opponents were palace guards who had never been on the battlefield, it was not an easy battle.

But fortunately, Gu Yin’s method really worked. At the beginning, only half of the people developed symptoms. The longer the battle dragged on, the more people were poisoned. In addition, Wu Qingyi burned the place where they stored food at that time, and the deposed Emperor was killed, which made it a lot easier.

“I didn’t give you credit after I returned to Beijing,” Wu Qingyi said apologetically.

At that time, he never thought that she would be his wife. He only thought that the remnants of the abolished Emperor had escaped. If he gave her credit and announced it to the world, it would inevitably bring trouble to her.

Gu Yin shook her head, “I don’t want that credit either.”

She was a cook after all. If people knew she poisoned a lot of people, everyone would get frightened.

And now that she discovered that he was a family member, there was no need to worry about who got credit.

Seeing that he was really a little unhappy, Gu Yin smiled and said, “Then why don’t you give me the reward for your meritorious deeds?”

“It’s natural.”

Emperor Zhengyuan imitated the previous dynasty and did not give him a different surname. The position of Duke Yin came to an end, and the Wu family could not be promoted. The reward for meritorious service was nothing but gold and silver treasures. The father and son lived frugally and never used it at all. It was in the capital, so it was natural to leave it to Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin to take care of it.

As soon as he said that, there was a movement of scratching at the door.

It was Gu Ye who called her to go back to sleep after taking a bath.

Gu Yin shook her head amusingly and got up to leave.

When she came out of the room, she saw Gu Ye standing with wet hair and wearing only thin clothes.

“Why didn’t you just call me? Why did you scratch the door like a wild cat?” Gu Yin took him back to the house and wiped his hair with a dry towel.

Gu Ye smiled and said nothing.

Although the ugly-faced uncle was quite likable, mother, he needed to sleep alone for the time being.

Seeing that the ugly uncle taught him how to ride, he had already let his mother speak to him alone for a quarter of an hour.

After wiping his hair, Gu Yin also went to wash, and then went to bed.

He usually moved very quickly, but that day he went to bed slowly.

Gu Yin went to the racecourse to play in the past life, and after riding for a while, her inner thighs turned red, and she guessed that he must be injured.

Fortunately, they went out with the wound medicine.

“Are your legs sore?” Gu Yin said and was about to take off his trousers.

Even though the pajamas still had big four-cornered shorts – Gu Yin asked Mrs. Wang to make them for them, but Gu Ye blushed and pulled his pants tightly to prevent her from taking them off.

Gu Yin couldn’t do anything about it, but there was a man in the family, so there was no need to invite a male doctor. So she went to the next door again and called Wu Qingyi over.

Gu Yin stood outside the room and asked Wu Qingyi to check on Gu Ye alone.

That time, Gu Ye was no longer embarrassed. After a while, his giggling came from the room.

Wu Qingyi came out and said apologetically, “It’s okay, it’s just a little bruised. It’s my fault, I didn’t expect him to be injured.”
