Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 351

In the main hall, Gu Yin asked the maid to bring tea to Feng Yu, and then screened the others, and explained: “My mother indeed went to the nunnery, but she only heard a few words at that time. After she came back, she didn’t even mention it to our family, let alone go out and spread rumors. But it is not what I want to talk to you about, I have more important things to tell you.” 

Gu Yin immediately talked about the old couple of the Ge family. 

Feng Yu heard her say that the old couple of the Ge family thought that their abducted daughter might come back to find them someday, so they have been setting up stalls at the pier for all those years, still waiting, looking forward to… 

He was young in the end, although he was not sure if the other party was his grandparents, his eyes got red. 

Gu Ye, sitting next to him, didn’t persuade him. He just reached out and patted his shoulder. 

“Young Master Feng, did you hear your mother mention the past? Does she still have any impressions?”

Feng Yu wiped his eyes, then said, “Mother didn’t mention it. She just said that she was separated from her parents during the war, so she didn’t have a family.” 

He couldn’t help frowning as he said that. He could have gone back and asked Mrs. Chen directly before, but at that moment she was grounded. Other than the people next to Mrs. Qin who brought food and drink in, no one else could see her. 

Gu Yin saw his face and guessed something. 

It happened that Song Shiliu came in, walked to Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang, and whispered to ask for credit, “Don’t worry, the slave has finished training the others, they will not go out and talk nonsense. They will only say that Young Master Feng chased and beat our young master.” 

Mrs. Wang gave Song Shiliu an admiring look, while Gu Yin’s eyes lit up and she said with a smile, “Good! Shiliu, I have to trouble you with a task.” 

Song Shiliu patted her chest and said, “Madam, please tell me.” 

Gu Yin continued, “Young Master Feng beat my son like this. How can we let him go simply like that? Go and invite the adults of his family to come and give an explanation!” 

Song Shiliu thought about it and asked, “Duke Lu should be on duty like our general, right? The slave should let him hurry over?” 

Gu Yin gave her a “are you stupid” look, then said, “But before he goes home, you have to go and return as soon as possible. Remember to be angry and ask them to come immediately. If they are late, Young Master Feng will suffer in our house!” 

Song Shiliu still didn’t quite understand, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t understand. Anyway, it must be right to follow her madam’s words. She hurriedly agreed and immediately asked someone to set up a carriage, and left the house in a blink of an eye. 

“Thank you, madam,” Feng Yu got up and bowed. 

Feng Yuan and Wu Qingyi were not at home, and only Mrs. Qin was in charge of Duke Lu’s mansion. She was still claiming to be ill, and was conscious about her reputation. That kind of shameless work, she naturally would ask her daughter-in-law, who was not welcome by her, to do. 

Not long after, Wu’an came back from his studies. He also left early and was about to take a break when he got home. When Gu Yin saw him, she asked him to draw a portrait of the old couple of the Ge family according to his memory.

Wu’an had been learning painting for a short time and he had not been influenced by the current style of pursuing imagery rather than realism. He did not use brushes, only charcoal, and the portraits he drew were closer to modern sketches. 

After the portrait was made, Mrs. Chen also arrived at Duke Ying’s house. 

She was really embarrassed. When the rumors spread, she didn’t think it was something that 

 Duke Ying’s mansion would do. They, mother and son had met the Gu mother and son, and they had a good impression of them. 

Although Mrs. Qin said that when she was in the nunnery that day, the middle-aged woman next to her was Mrs. Wang, but when she prayed, Mrs. Wang also closed her eyes reverently and said something. 

The two of them were doing it at the same time. Even if Mrs. Wang really had that ability to do two things with one mind and hear her whispering without missing a single word, she looked at her like how the elders look at their own juniors, which she had never seen Mrs. Qin do before.

Hearing that Feng Yu beat up other people’s child and was detained, Mrs. Chen became more embarrassed. After she reached, she first apologized for Feng Yu, saying that he was not disciplined. 

But later she looked at Feng Yu and Gu Ye talking beside her. They didn’t seem to be in a bad relationship, so she was confused for a while. 

Gu Yin asked her to close the door and said, “It happened suddenly, and it was an expedient measure to invite you to come over. Come, take a look at this portrait first.” 

The sketch was handed to Mrs. Chen. The husband and wife on the portrait were in their fifties and sixties. Their faces had seen all kinds of wind and frost, but their eyes were very kind. 

Mrs. Chen didn’t know them, but she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. 

“Nan Nan?” Gu Yin called her tentatively.
