"The look on your face tells me you're not happy at all."

Hearing Wei Rou's words, Gu Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, took Wei Rou into his arms, felt her warmth, and said in a low voice, "I'm just a little regretful."

Wei Rou paused and leaned on his shoulder obediently.

"What are you sorry about?"

"It's a pity they didn't get to see you."

"Will they like me? I... don't seem to be a qualified wife."

"As long as it's you, they'll like it."

Wei Rou bent her lips and smiled, she reached out and hugged his waist, rubbing against his shoulder.

"It's also because of you."

Gu Xi responded, but didn't make another sound.

The two hugged each other silently.

The birthday banquet in the front yard ended not long after.

As for the confession ceremony, it wasn't too grand, after all, both parties' identities and statuses were at stake, if it was too blatant, and the news got to the Holy One, it might be said that they formed a clique for personal gain.

The emperor was very suspicious, so Prime Minister Song decided to simply go through the motions.

Of course, Wei Guogong and his wife were left as witnesses.

Wei Guogong was so sad that he said, "Rou'er, why don't you recognize me and your second aunt as foster parents?"

Wei Rou couldn't laugh or cry.

"Second uncle!"

Wei Zhongliang also knew that this was just superfluous, Wei Rou was raised by him since he was a child, and he was no different from his own daughter. This ceremony was not bad. He just wanted to use this to tell Wei Rou that no matter what happened, there was still someone behind her. Duke Wei's mansion.

Prime Minister Song and his wife sat at the main seat, and only Song Linfeng and Gu Xi were left in the hall besides Wei Guogong's mansion.

Song Linfeng stood aside, watching Wei Rou respectfully kneel down on the ground, kowtow three times, feeling a little dazed.

The method of recognizing relatives was proposed by him.

He wasn't sure if Wei Rou was his real sister, but since both parents liked her, it's better to recognize her foster relative first.

When the truth is found out, if she is really... then everyone will be happy, even if not, parents will not change their opinion of her because of this.

Wei Rou stood up after kowtowing three times, offered tea to the two elders, and also called her foster father and foster mother.

The two elders took the tea with a smile, and they both stuffed a small brocade box into her hand as a token of appreciation.

Wei Rou didn't come back to her senses until she got on the carriage back home, she was staring at the two small brocade boxes in a daze.

Song Xiang and his wife treated her surprisingly well.

It is this that is hard not to think too much about.

Wei Rou asked herself that she wasn't that attractive yet, but after meeting her adoptive father and adoptive mother a few times, they favored her a lot and even gave her such a precious gift.

The dragon and phoenix jade bracelet was enough to surprise me last time.

I don't know what's in these two brocade boxes, even if I haven't opened them, Wei Rou can guess that they are worth a lot.

She was a little distressed, so she turned her head to ask Gu Xi.

"You said, why would you be nice to someone for no reason?"

Gu Xi stroked her jade-like cheeks and said, "Either blood is thicker than water, or..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but just lowered his head and kissed her tender lips, and then continued: "Either he recognized you."

Wei Rou's heart trembled, she bit her lip: "I'm asking you seriously! Why are you still like this!"

Gu Xi smiled and said nothing.

But what Gu Xi said reached Wei Rou's heart.

Even if her adoptive parents saw her thinking of her long-lost daughter, they shouldn't do this. Song Xiang has been in a high position for many years, and he has never shown his true nature, but he has shown his favor to her again and again.

Wei Rou vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to think deeply about it. Without any evidence, she still waited and watched.

It seems that the trip to Jiangnan has to be put on the agenda.
