Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 243

It happened that Mrs. Wang passed by her carriage and reached out to support her.

At that time, Second Madam Wen was ashamed. She knew that she was fat, and even the two little maids couldn’t support her.

She was afraid that she would crush Mrs. Wang, so she quickly apologized while trying to get out of the way.

Seeing that her face was pale, Mrs. Wang insisted on not letting go, and helped her into the inn all the way.

The two had similar backgrounds, and their personalities were also carefree, and they became familiar with each other very quickly.

Mrs. Wang took her to join Gu Yin and Manager Zhou to try the food, and persuaded her, “Eat, people take food as their heaven, and you’re blessed compared to a lot of people! You won’t look good if you really starve yourself and become sick.”

When Gu Yin heard that she wanted to lose weight, she simply made a salad for her.

The vegetable dish with boiled chicken breast, and the vinaigrette Gu Yin cooked, didn’t taste bad 

In particular, Gu Yin got a kitchen knife that she thought was the best in the world. It was when she couldn’t be idle. She would do her best to make a salad every day, cut them and decorate them into a very cute appearance, which made people have an appetite.

Second Madam Wen ate and drank normally every morning and noon, and ate a salad she made in the evening. In early September, she really lost a lot of weight.

And because she ate lightly at night, she no longer had acne on her face, and her skin became much smoother.

Now that she was thin, she had become more confident, with a smile on her face every day, no longer unhappy, and said to Gu Yin affectionately, “I only knew that you were good at craftsmanship, but I didn’t expect you to know how to maintain health. This is good in the capital. If you open a restaurant there, you have to sell this salad, which I will eat every day!”

That reminded Gu Yin that she didn’t know the people’s taste in the capital, and she hadn’t figured out what business the new restaurant was going to do before. At that moment, she could think about light food like salad. After all, there was no difference in taste between north and south, and there was no girl who didn’t like a good body, so it could be used as an alternative.

But Second Madam Wen was happy, while Mrs. Wang was worried.

After eating and drinking with Gu Yin and Manager Zhou, she didn’t eat any salad at night, and her chin was round.

On the day she entered the capital, she took Gu Yin’s hand and said it in a low voice, “If I knew, I wouldn’t have eaten so much. What if your father thinks I’m ugly when he sees me?”

In the past, Mrs. Wang never cared about beauty or ugliness. Even if Gu Yin bought her brighter dresses, she would feel impatient to let them get dirty and prefer to wear those gray clothes. But going to see her long-lost husband, she couldn’t help but get nervous.

Gu Yin patted the back of her hand and said warmly, “How come you’re ugly? Don’t worry about it.”

Mrs. Wang was really not ugly, otherwise, she would not be able to give birth to Wu Qingyi and Wu’an who look like Zhou Zheng (a handsome character in opera). It was just that she used to have a straight face in the past, with two deep nasolabial lines on her face, and she was a bit fierce, looking like she was difficult to get along with.

But in the past few years, life had been good at home, she had rarely been angry with others, and she listened to Gu Yin’s words, doing business and making money, with a smile on her face every day, the lines had long since faded away unconsciously.

At that time, she was wearing a grass-green wishful cloud pattern blouse, with her hair in a simple bun. Although she only had the plum blossom hairpin that Gu Yin bought for her in the past, her black hair was neatly combed.

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she did not wait for Gu Yin to speak, and said to herself, “He has suffered a stroke. If he dares to think that I’m ugly, I will punch him to death!”

Although she said it fiercely, Gu Yin felt her hands trembling slightly. Obviously she was nervous.

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath and said again, “He has become a duke, and I don’t know if there are other women with your father. The Emperor in the operas likes to reward women to ministers.”

Along the way, she didn’t ask Wu Qingyi about that. First, it was embarrassing for her mother to ask her son that, and secondly, she was afraid that she would find out the answers that she didn’t want to know.

That was hard to tell for Gu Yin. After all, both sides thought that the other party was no longer alive. Wu Qingyi was fighting on the battlefield and it was normal to have no women by his side, but Father Wu was in poor health. 

“Forget it, I don’t want that.” Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, “Even if there are, we can’t blame him.”

Even though she said that, Mrs. Wang still squeezed her fist.

Gu Yin thought that it was best for Father Wu not to have any woman beside him. If there was, she could not guarantee that she would be able to persuade her mother-in-law not to do something. With her mother-in-law’s strength, it was really not a problem to maim people.
