Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 357

Although the carriage of Duke Ying’s mansion was not particularly luxurious and eye-catching, it was regulated by the government, and it was much more stylish than ordinary carriages. 

Everyone got speechless. When they got into the carriage, they inquired with Mrs. Wang, “Didn’t your family go to the capital to open a restaurant? Is it so easy to make money in the capital? Did you earn so much in less than half a year?” 

Mra. Wang said, “Okay, there is no need to hide from you now. Didn’t I just tell you that my son joined the rebel army and then resigned? In fact, he didn’t resign!”

Mrs. Xu still remembered that she heard Gu Ye and other children mention it before, saying that Wu Qingyi intended to watch the gate in the capital. At that time, she felt sore in her heart, thinking that her son was no worse than him, but the bad thing was that he and Gu Yin were the original husband and wife, no matter how good her son was it was also useless.

“The job is to watch the gate…” 

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, “Why will he guard the gate? He is the imperial guard in charge of the palace, guarding the palace for the Emperor!” 

Mrs. Xu clicked her tongue and said, “Good, Wang Baoyun. In the past, you wanted to beat gongs and drums to tell the whole world about trivial matters, but this time you were hiding it!” 

Mrs. Wang explained, “At that time, my natal’s family was in the town, so I didn’t dare to publicize it, as I didn’t want them to cause trouble for my family.” 

Mrs. Xu was not angry at all, but when she heard the words, she nodded in agreement, “That’s what it should be!” 

Afterward, they started chatting, and Aunt Ge also chatted with her from time to time, but her eyes were mainly looking out the window, naturally eager to see her daughter. 

The carriage drove for more than half an hour, and stopped firmly at the gate of the majestic Duke Ying’s mansion. 

If Mr. Xu hadn’t listened to Mrs. Wang on the carriage, her legs would have gone weak on seeing such a mansion.

Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge were more cautious. They got off the carriage and said, “We have traveled and it’s easy to get this place dirty. We can find another place to stay in.” 

Mrs. Xu also followed, “Yes, we can just stay in an inn.”

Mrs. Wang pulled Mrs. Xu with one hand, and Aunt Ge with the other, and said with a smile, “You want to run when you are here? Let’s go home and rest.” 

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Ge couldn’t match her strength, and Xu Qingchuan and Uncle Ge naturally followed. 

Wu Zhong was the only one in the family at home, so he came out to greet them on crutches. 

Although the place was different, both Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang, and even Wu Zhong, who they met for the first time, showed great kindness to them. 

So everyone entered the room, sat down, and drank hot tea and snacks, so they were not so restrained. 

Mrs. Wang first led Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingchuan to the guest room to rest, while Gu Yin asked the Ge family to stay in the main courtyard. They were still mustering the courage to look around, still waiting to see their daughter. 

Gu Yin explained, “The lady has a noble status and is not in our mansion right now, but don’t worry. Aunt, Uncle, I will find a way to invite her over.” 

Hearing her words, the old couple breathed a sigh of relief. 

Aunt Ge was a little embarrassed and said, “Girl Gu, can I borrow your kitchen? My girl loves to eat the fried sugar cakes I make, I think…” 

Gu Yin agreed and then asked, “Uncle, Auntie you have traveled a long distance, do you want to take a break?” Aunt Ge shook her head and said, “To tell you the truth, since I got the news, I haven’t been at peace. It is like a dream, and you also know that your uncle and I are used to doing these kinds of work. If we don’t do anything, I’ll feel uncomfortable.” 

Gu Yin didn’t force it and led them to the kitchen. 

The next step was to invite Mrs. Chen.

In the past few days, the connection between the two families had been entirely dependent on Gu Ye and Feng Yu.

Later Feng Yu said that his grandmother was so angry because of Gu Ye’s new play that even a man was installed near ‘Food of Heaven’ to keep an eye, so the two changed the place to meet again. 

Gu Yin asked a maid to wait for Gu Ye near the palace gate, and tell him to pass on the news that the second elder of the Ge family had arrived in the capital to Feng Yu. 

That night, Mrs. Chen naturally got the news. 

In fact, like Gu Yin, she knew from Xu’s letter that the old couple of the Ge family would arrive in Beijing in two days. 

But when she really knew the news, she was still moved to tears. 

Feng Yu comforted her and said, “Mother, don’t cry. If my grandparents saw you like this they would think it was me being naughty, and made you angry. I heard that my grandfather worked all year round and is healthier than the elders of the same age. If he beats me, I don’t know if I can endure it at all.” 

Mrs. Chen was amused by him and asked, “Your grandfather is a very kind person, so why will he beat you?” 

When her son was in the military camp, his temperament was also like a child of the same age, and he came back like a monkey in mud who often ran out to play. 

It was just that over the past year, he had been forced by Mrs. Qin to become more mature, and he didn’t talk and laugh like he used to. 

Sometimes Mrs. Chen thought of that and was quite sad. 

Since he had been with Gu Ye for a while, he got a lot more cheerful. Mrs. Chen was naturally happy for him. 

Feng Yu said with a smile, “My grandfather treasures mother, and so I will naturally be in their heart.” 

After the mother and son talked for a while, Feng Yu asked, “Can I ask A Ye’s mother for help?” 

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, “How can you rely on others for everything? I’ll tell your grandmother myself.” 

Feng Yu looked at her worriedly, but Mrs. Chen stood up and smiled, “Don’t worry, I am not afraid anymore.”

She used to envy Mrs. Lu, not the gold and silver that her parents and brothers gave her, but the fact that her family was her solid backing. 

Now that she knew that her parents were outside. It was not only herself and her son who had to depend on each other in the world, she naturally had confidence. 

Later, Mrs. Chen went to Mrs. Qin’s yard.
