Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 342

The person in front of him was not only good-hearted, but also knowledgeable. If he let this kind of friend slip away, then he wouldn’t be Gu Ye. 

“On the first day of our friendship, you told me so much. I have nothing to help you. Do you want to eat the special dessert on the third floor? I will bring two.” 

Feng Yu said a little embarrassedly, “I have something else to ask from you. I don’t know if I can ask you this. My mother likes the book ‘Story of Love’ that you have written. Can you lend me the script? Of course I won’t borrow it for free, I will give you the money that should be paid.” 

Feng Yu was not a person who liked to trouble others, but his mother Mrs. Chen had not lived a comfortable life since entering Duke Lu’s mansion. 

It was rare for Mrs. Chen to have something she liked. After she went back, she hummed in front of him several times. He wanted to accompany her to watch “Story of love” again, but Mrs. Chen refused. 

Needless to say, the reason for not going was naturally because she was afraid that Mrs. Qin would be unhappy. 

“What’s so hard about this?” Gu Ye agreed, “We are friends, so why do you need to be so polite? I didn’t bring it today, I’ll bring it and keep it here next time, and you can pick it up from Uncle Zhou whenever you have time.” 

Before the play, of course, the script couldn’t be shown to outsiders. But “Story of Love’ had been sung for a long time to the present, and many spectators had recited it by heart. Even if it was spread out, it would not be in the way. 

“Don’t agree yet.” Feng Yu was embarrassed. He could see that Gu Ye really wanted to make friends with him, and the two of them were really comfortable with each other. But the relationship between the two families… He was hesitating whether to report his family.

After hesitating for a while, Feng Yu still said, “My family…” 

Gu Ye raised his hand to stop him and said, “How can we talk about this when we are friends? It’s not a marriage to check the family background.” 

Feng Yu was caught off guard by him. He laughed, cupped his hands and said, “Although I am a few years older than you, I want to be your friend.” 

The two of them stopped talking about their identities and continued to talk. 

Gu Ye was not educated. In that respect, he was not comparable to Feng Yu, who had been both well versed in civil and military at the age of ten. But he listened carefully to whatever Feng Yu said and he could pick up the words after listening. 

Later, Gu Ye told him some things in the market, which Feng Yu didn’t understand. Feng Yu grew up in the military camp and later became the son of a Duke. Well, he sent a lot of people to supervise him every day, and his life was no different from that of a little daughter-in-law who didn’t go to the door. 

He managed to escape from the mansion with great difficulty. 

The two chatted and Gu Yin accompanied Mrs. Chen down from the third floor. 

Mrs. Chen was very cautious when she came in the morning. Later, Mrs. Lu invited her for a round, and she also went to thank her. 

Mrs. Lu, who came from Jiangnan, liked gentle women. At first, she thought she was from her hometown. Later, when she saw that she was not accompanied, she invited her to have fun on her own table. 

Mrs. Chen looked restrained, but in fact she was not yet thirty years old. How could she not like such liveliness? 

As soon as she started to have fun, she also lost track of time. 

During the evening meal, Second Madam Wen and Mrs. Lu were scrambling to pay the bill again, and they invited all the female guests to drink a glass of green plum wine. 

Mrs. Chen let go of herself even more after having a glass of wine. 

When Gu Yin noticed her, she was already blushing. So she immediately helped her down, thinking of sending her home. 

“Mother!” Feng Yu saw that something was wrong with Mrs. Chen’s face and immediately stood up to help her.

When Mrs. Chen saw him, she immediately woke up a little, and quickly asked, “Why did you come here?” 

Feng Yu didn’t say that he followed her, and had been waiting downstairs for a whole day. He only said, “I was worried about you, so I came to have a look.” 

“I’m sorry,” Gu Yin said apologetically, “I didn’t know your mother was lightweight at drinking, otherwise I would definitely not have Mrs. Lu and the others persuade her to drink.” 

If someone got drunk in a restaurant, how could it be the restaurant owner’s fault? 

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, “I’ve never drunk alcohol before, so I’m ashamed.” 

Then Gu Yin and Feng Yu helped Mrs. Chen to the carriage. Feng Yu thanked Gu Yin and nodded to Gu Ye again. He then signaled the driver to drive the carriage. 

After watching them leave, Gu Yin asked Gu Ye, “When did you come here?” 

“I came out of the palace in the evening, and came over to eat the evening meal when it was getting dark,” Gu Ye said, and then told her about how Feng Yu and he met because of a misunderstanding. 

“Are you waiting for me or making a new friend again?” Gu Yin reached out and poked him. 

Gu Ye intercepted her finger. “Mother, don’t laugh at me, I have something serious to talk about.” 

Gu Yin went in and said farewell to Manager Zhou, took out her cloak, and the mother and son got into their carriage. 

On the carriage, Gu Ye asked her mysteriously, “Do you know who the mother and son are?” 

Gu Yin shook her head and said, “It’s the first time they came here and they are very friendly. How could I know?” 

Gu Ye proudly raised his chest and said, “I know who they are. They belong to the Feng family of Duke Lu.” 

Gu Yin was stunned and asked him how he knew.

“He said his name is Feng Yu. Later, when he asked me for the script, I agreed immediately, but he looked embarrassed and told me not to rush to give it, and then he was about to mention his family. He was hesitant and his face looked weird… Therefore, his family has something to do with our family, but is not on good terms. And the only ones who are not on good terms with us are Duke Lu’s family.”

Although he had no evidence, his analysis was methodical. In addition, Mrs. Wang talked about the encounter with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the theater, and he was particularly indignant, “I don’t know how such an old lady could get such a gentle daughter-in-law. She was so arrogant outside, then how will she be at home? Shouldn’t her daughter-in-law be tortured to death?” 

That was really true. 

“So I just didn’t let him talk about it. If it’s really out then, we can’t be friends anymore.” Gu Ye frowned again and continued, “Mother, why did they come? Is it because our families don’t get along, so Feng Yu’s mother deliberately opposed her mother-in-law?” 

Gu Yin pondered for a while and said, “I guess the old lady forced her to come get information. If there was really a disagreement, and the lady came here today to anger her mother-in-law, she won’t stay so quiet… Our business is open and everything can be told to others. They are just checking, but let’s keep an eye on them.” 

Gu Ye nodded in agreement, “Feng Yu and his mother are pretty good. Pity, why do you want to make a living under the hands of that old hag?” 

Gu Yin reached out, touched his lips and said, “Don’t talk like that about elders. If it were before, it would be fine, but you will not be as free as before, understand?” 

Gu Ye Immediately corrected his tone, nodded, and said he understood.
