Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

In the blink of an eye, it was evening and Shen Nankui was pushed into the main room.

Gu Yichuan was already waiting there.

Gu's father died early, so on one side of the main seat is Gu's mother and on the other side is Gu's father's tablet.

The village head stretched out his voice and sang a greeting:

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber!"

A newlywed couple in bright red wedding gowns were sent to the bridal chamber amid applause and cheers. Then they spread the tent and drank the wedding wine. After all the hassles, the ceremony was finally completed. Gu Yichuan was then taken away to entertain the guests, while Shen Nankui waited in the bridal chamber.

It was not until the evening that the door was opened.

Gu Yichuan staggered in, stood at the door for a while, then slowly walked to the bed and sat down. The two looked at each other and their faces turned red.

"My wife." Gu Yichuan called softly.

Shen Nankui's ears turned red, and she had no idea what to say at this moment. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "My husband is tired, why don't you rest early?"

"it is good."

The two of them took off their outer clothes and lay on the bed. Shen Nankui's hands, which were holding the corner of the quilt, were trembling slightly. She felt nervous and expectant at the same time, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes at all.

Suddenly, a muffled laugh sounded in my ears.

"My wife has been traveling all the way from the capital, and she must have not had a good sleep for several days. It's late tonight, so you should rest early. I... am not in a hurry."

"...That's fine."

While Shen Nankui breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little confused.

On the first night of their marriage, he didn't even get close to her. Was he really considerate, or was he also concerned about her?

She closed her eyes, thinking randomly in her mind, and gradually became sleepy.

Gu Yichuan's gaze paused for a moment on the pretty face of the person beside him before he stood up and blew out the candle.

Not long after the two fell asleep, there was a hurried knock on the door. When they opened it, it was Song Dong'er.

She ignored Gu Yichuan, grabbed Shen Nankui and walked out.

"Second cousin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. It's just that my aunt wants to see you for something."

Gu Yichuan frowned and stopped her, "Mom, what do you want to talk to my wife about? Why don't you tell me clearly before leaving?"

Song Dong'er sighed, "Oh, Brother Chuan, my aunt had a headache again just after she fell asleep. I can't take care of her by myself, so I had to ask my second cousin's wife for help."

Gu Yichuan pushed Shen Nankui back into the house and said, "I'll go, you just take a rest."

But Song Dong'er still held her tightly.

"No, Brother Chuan, Auntie said that you are drunk today and you will not have the energy to take care of others. Besides, it is not convenient at night. Auntie told you to rest and only Second Cousin Sister-in-law can go with me."

Gu Yichuan looked suspicious, "What is mother going to do? How can you ask your daughter-in-law to serve you in your room on your wedding night?"

"But, as a daughter-in-law, it is your duty to serve your mother-in-law."

"There is more than one daughter-in-law. Where is the eldest sister-in-law?"

Song Dong'er smiled awkwardly and said, "You are getting married today, and my eldest cousin has finally returned from the county. I can't disturb their team building..."

"That being said, I am newlywed today. Can't you be a little considerate of the bride?"

Gu Yichuan never expected that his mother would embarrass her new bride at this time. When he was about to say something else, someone pulled his sleeve.

Shen Nankui shook his head at him, "Don't be upset, sir. I'll go."

In her previous life, Shen Pingwan had a generous dowry and although she was not stopped from entering the house, she was bullied by Gu's mother on her wedding night. Shen Pingwan married into a low-class family and could not stand such humiliation. She had a big fight with her mother-in-law on the first night of her wedding. Since then, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been bad, and they quarrel every day.

Most of the time, Gu Yichuan protected her, but because Shen Pingwan acted excessively and unreasonably, he couldn't completely disobey his mother.

As they quarreled, the love between the couple faded.

Today, Gu's mother failed to intimidate Shen Nankui and was forced to apologize to her instead. She had lost so much face that she must get it back. She even used the excuse of having a headache. If Shen Nankui did not go, she would be unfilial and would inevitably be criticized in the future.

So, she had to go.

Only if she is right will Gu Yichuan be on her side, and she will be more justified and will not be criticized for her mistakes.

Isn’t it just serving your mother-in-law?

In her previous life, she was in the Marquis' Mansion and was used to doing such things. She even earned the reputation of a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law.

She didn't believe it. How could Gu's mother, an old country lady, be more difficult to serve than the Marquis's wife?

Shen Nankui held Song Dong'er's hand, his face full of worry.

"My mother-in-law said she has a headache. She must be in great pain right now. Cousin Dong'er, please take me there quickly."

Song Dong'er didn't expect that she would be so intimate with herself. She resisted the urge to pull her hand back, smiled and said, "Then come with me, second cousin."

"Madam, you..."

Shen Nankui interrupted, "Husband, don't say any more. Mother-in-law is not feeling well. As her daughter-in-law, I should be there to serve her. You should go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."

After saying that, he quickly followed Song Dong'er.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yichuan felt even more guilty and felt even more distressed about her situation. After a brief pause, he also walked out.

Shen Nankui came to Gu's mother's room and saw her lying on the bed, crying out in pain. She asked, "Cousin Dong'er, didn't your husband go to the county town to buy some medicine today? Has he given it to your mother-in-law?"

"I took it this morning, so it's too late now."

"Then give it to me."

Shen Nankui took the medicine, skillfully helped Gu's mother up and fed her medicine and water. Finally, he laid her flat on the bed and brought a basin of water for her to wipe her face.

After finishing the work, he asked, "Is mother-in-law feeling better?"

Gu's mother wanted to find fault with her, but when she took care of herself, she was so thoughtful, patient and careful that no one could say a word of fault with her.

I could only suppress my anger and groaned, "Oh, my head still hurts. I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you and keep watching over me for the rest of the night..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people suddenly came in from the door.

Gu Yichuan, who was walking in front, said, "Mom is not feeling well, how can we, as her sons, sleep well? I have called my elder brother and his wife to come. Mom, don't be afraid. We will take care of you together. I believe you will get better soon."

Gu Qingrong, the eldest son of the Gu family, also said, "Yes, mother, you were fine, why do you have a headache today?"

After he said this, his wife Liang secretly pinched him.

Mother Gu, who was lying on the bed, was startled by the noise of them entering the room and almost sat up and cursed.

Fortunately, she held it in and said weakly, "Hey, what are you all doing here? I just have a headache, it's okay. Chuan'er's wife took good care of me. Go back quickly. Why are you making such a fuss in the middle of the night?"

Liang came and said, "Mom, you are not feeling well. We are worried. Let your wife stay and take care of you."

"I'll stay too." Gu Yichuan said.

"If my second brother doesn't leave, I won't leave either." Gu Qingrong followed.

Gu’s mother: “…”
