After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Gu Xu put his hand on her shoulder and tried to pull her to the bed.

"Go get some more sleep. You didn't sleep all night last night."

Duan Shuhe's face turned red and she pushed him lightly.

"It's already daybreak. If I continue to sleep, I'll have to sleep until noon. I still have to go and pay my respects to my mother. Husband...husband, you should also wash up quickly."

This is her first day living in the house, and she can’t stay in bed and leave a bad impression on the people in the Gu Mansion.

Hearing her calling him husband, Gu Xu's ears turned red.

The two of them arrived at the main hall, where Jin Ruoyun was already sitting there waiting for them.

"Come on, come and sit down."

Now that her sons have started a family, she is especially happy for them.

She looked at Duan Shuhe, and her words of instruction to her daughter-in-law were full of joy.

"Now that you are married, you are one family, husband and wife, respect and love each other, cherish each other, and share honor and disgrace."

Duan Shuhe and Gu Xu stood up and answered respectfully:

"Follow my mother's instructions."

The two of them looked so well matched standing together, and when Jin Yuanyuan saw them, she was so happy that she was setting off fireworks.

[Wow, my brother finally has a sister-in-law, and she’s my favorite sister-in-law. I’m so happy that I’m about to faint~]

With the company of my eldest brother's sister-in-law, I believe his ending would have been different.

She had always hoped that they would be together and not miss each other in this life.

Beautiful people should be with equally beautiful people, and lovers should not be missed.

Jin Ruoyun had the same thought as her daughter, they were really a good match.

After Duan Shuhe and Gu Xu finished serving tea, Jin Ruoyun called Ding Xiang at the back to bring the things up.

"Shuhe, this is a set of jewelry I brought when I got married. I see that you usually wear simple and elegant clothes, and this jade-emerald magnolia headpiece is just right for you."

Duan Shuhe did not have a good life in the Duan family. Her father did not like her and only liked the concubine's daughter.

She didn't have any decent jewelry, and as time went by, she became less attracted to those gold and silver items.

The hairpin and pearl flowers she is wearing on her head are of simple style. Jin Ruoyun specially selected a set that matches her temperament, which was very thoughtful.

Duan Shuhe was a little surprised. He took it respectfully with emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you, mother. I will wear it well."

"As long as you like it. It's better for you two to live a good life. You two are both sensible, so I won't say anything unnecessary."

She had only one wish, which was that they could live a good life and not be like her.

Then he gave her the key to the house and said, "Since you are married here, you will be the future mistress. All matters in the house will be handed over to you. Now you have to learn how to manage the household."

"It's just like men want to be officials and work for the benefit of the people. For us women, the officialdom is the backyard."

"I come from a military family, and there aren't that many rules at home. If you want to go out and meet your sisters or start your own business, that's fine. Only when you're busy can you have a purpose in life."

"Now you have to learn to take care of everything in the mansion. You will feel at ease if you have something to do. It doesn't matter if you can't manage it now. Mother will teach you slowly."

Duan Shuhe took the keys and account book, feeling filled with emotion.

In the past, I always heard married young ladies complain about how fierce and mean their mothers-in-law were.

But her mother-in-law treated her better than her biological father.

How many new daughters-in-law have to be set rules, required not to go out of the main house and not to show their faces in public.

They only get the right to manage the household after they marry into the family, and it takes several years for them to do so.

But her mother-in-law was not only kind to her, but also respected her personality, allowing her to live for herself without having to rely on her husband as the sky.

How could she be so worthy to have such a mother-in-law?

Her eyes were full of fighting spirit and she was in high spirits. "Don't worry, mother. I will study the account books carefully and learn how to manage the household. I won't let you down."

Jin Ruoyun nodded with satisfaction and thought about it in his mind to see if there was anything missing.

It was her first time being a mother-in-law and she had no experience, so she didn’t know if she was kind enough or if she had done anything wrong.

Just as I was thinking about this, a sharp voice suddenly appeared.

Sang Xiaowan helped the old lady in, and the old lady glared at Jin Ruoyun unhappily.

"Give her the keys to the house?! I think you are out of your mind!"

"She just got married and doesn't know anything. It's ridiculous for you to give her the key!"

"In my opinion, it's better to leave it to Xiaowan. When she was at home with me, she managed the household affairs in an orderly manner."

Sang Xiaowan pursed her lips and lowered her head, and said uncomfortably: "Mom, this is not good, my sister-in-law will be angry."

She raised her eyes and looked at Jin Ruoyun with an innocent face, as if to say, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Jin Yuanyuan twisted her mouth with disdain.

[Forget it. If it is handed over to Sang Xiaowan, the Gu Mansion will become a brothel. ]

[You have the money to support me! All the expenses in the mansion are paid by my mother. You eat and drink from my mother, and now you want to take my power?! You are so shameless that you throw the bowl and curse my mother! ]

Jin Ruoyun sat on the stool as steady as a rock, picked up the teacup and took a sip, no longer showing any of the easygoing attitude he had just shown.

"Mother, what you said is wrong. This is the Gu Mansion, and I am the principal wife. It is etiquette for me to manage the household affairs."

"Xu'er is the eldest son in the family, so his wife will naturally take over the future Gu family."

"As for Xiaowan...it's better for her to find a husband and marry out as soon as possible. With a stepfather, she will have someone to lean on, which will be beneficial to Xingcheng's future career."

"My daughter-in-law is not clinging to the power of housekeeper, but the expenses of this house still depend on me. If Xiaowan is allowed to be the housekeeper, she may not be able to support it. Mother, is that the truth?"

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that her nose was crooked, but she couldn't refute it.

Every word Jin Ruoyun said was reasonable and without any loopholes.

When Sang Xiaowan heard that she was going to be married off, she was so scared that she dared not say a word and hid behind the old lady.

Duan Shuhe stood obediently by the side, observing the interpersonal interactions in the Gu family calmly.

It seems that this aunt and the old lady are not easy to deal with and it is not possible to have close friendships with them. They don't look like good people.

She also grew up in the back house, so she understood very well why they were targeting her mother just now. She was Gu Xu's wife, so naturally she would stand on her mother's side.

Sang Xiaowan looked around and didn't see Gu Boqing. She anxiously twisted her handkerchief and looked at Jin Ruoyun.

"Where's my brother? Why isn't he here?"

Gu Boqing went to Sang Xiaowan's place once during this period, and spent most of his time at Xue Niang's place. No one knew where he went today.

Jin Ruoyun, "The master has gone to court. There is a grand court meeting today."

At this time, there was a bloody storm in the court and it was very unstable.

A minister knelt down before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! Rumors have spread among the people that the crown prince has no heir, and the country will be in chaos. The world will change and the people will suffer!"

Standing opposite the Crown Prince was the Third Prince. He glanced back and another minister knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, these rumors have been circulating for a while, and they are not groundless. If they continue like this, if we don't take them seriously, chaos will surely arise!"

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would have calmly taken over the matter, not allowing it to escalate any further, and would have deliberately avoided the topic of changing the crown prince.

But today the emperor changed his usual behavior and did not ask them to stop immediately.

He looked at the two kneeling ministers with particular interest.

"Then according to what you said, what should I do?"
