Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Hearing this, Shen Nankui no longer refused. She walked forward and stretched out her hands, and He personally put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet is crystal clear, with a touch of faint green, icy and clear, like a clear spring, making the pair of fair wrists look even more radiant and moist.

He looked at it carefully for a long time and couldn't help but praise: "It's really beautiful, Nankui, this pair of bracelets really suits you."

This compliment is sincere.

This pair of bracelets is her most precious treasure. Shen Pingwan also liked it before, but after trying it on, she felt that the jade was old-fashioned. Now it seems that Wan'er cannot support the elegance of jade. Now it fits Shen Nankui's hand just right.

Shen Nankui smiled and took back her hand, bowing gracefully, "Thank you, mother."

She walked back and sat down next to Gu Yichuan.

Father Shen added: "I already know your conditions."

He sighed, "Forget it. Today you helped the Shen family to avoid a disaster, which can be regarded as offsetting the Shen family's kindness in raising you over the years. Then, as you said, except for weddings and funerals, all other major events that you have to attend, if you don't want to come, we will not force you."

Shen Nankui stood up and bowed straight, "Thank you, father and mother, for your understanding."

Gu Yichuan also greeted her.

Father Shen waved his hand, looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "You are now a wife of the Gu family, and you have your own life to live. No matter what, you and I are father and daughter, and I still hope that everything goes well for you."

Shen Nankui took the opportunity to say, "I have bought a small courtyard in Qingyu Lane. I want to move there today. I would like to ask for your permission, father and mother."

He was surprised. "You've only been back for a few days. How come I didn't even know when you bought the house?"

She regretted it the moment she said it.

These days, her mind was completely focused on Wan'er, so how could she have paid attention to what Shen Nankui did?

However, when she heard that she actually had the ability to buy a house in the capital, she couldn't help but feel surprised. Could it be that the Gu family really had become rich?

Shen Nankui said: "Yichuan will be preparing for the exam in Beijing after the New Year, and he also needs a quiet place to live. I have noticed this house before, and it is just the right time to book it when I come back, so it is not a big deal."

He thought for a moment and said, "In fact, Yichuan is preparing for the Spring Examination, and the Shen family also has many empty houses. Your father has already made arrangements for this, so why do you have to spend money to buy another house? Considering the situation of the Gu family, you should spend this money wisely."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "To be honest with you, mother, I am doing business with the eldest brother and his wife from the Gu family. We were lucky enough to make a small profit, so our life at home is much better than before."

"I see."

He understood in her heart that it turned out that the Gu family made money from business. No wonder they were hiring servants and buying a house.

Father Shen listened to them quietly and once again felt that he had underestimated his adopted daughter.

"Since you have made up your mind, your mother and I will not say anything more. But one thing is for sure, as long as you still have the surname Shen, we will always be of the same blood and share the same fate. In the future, if you want to come back and visit, the Shen family will always welcome you."

Shen Nankui bowed respectfully, "My daughter understands."

After the conversation was over, both sides seemed relieved.

Shen Nankui no longer has to worry, as she might receive a letter from the Shen family one day. No matter how big or small the matter is, she will have to rush over and return home angry.

After kicking her adopted daughter out of the house, He no longer had to worry about her coming to ask for money. However, she also realized later that no matter how harsh and mean she was to Shen Nankui, she had never asked her for help from beginning to end.

Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan had already left, but He and Shen's father were still sitting there in a daze, both of them had the same melancholy look on their faces.

After a long while, He sighed, "Alas, if only there hadn't been such a misunderstanding back then."

In this way, her daughter remained her daughter.

She won't pour her love into raising her daughter, only to realize that it was a mistake, feeling indebted to her own flesh and blood, and hating the treasure she once held in her hands.

Father Shen shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it. It's all God's will."

After all, Shen Nankui did nothing wrong. On the contrary, she has been trying to atone for this matter. Now that the favor has been repaid, let her do as she pleases.

-

After packing up, Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan took Fangcao and left the Shen family.

The carriage swayed slowly to Qingyu Lane. There was a knock on the door. Zhong Shan immediately came to open the door. Seeing the scene outside, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Sir, Madam, are you moving in?"

Shen Nankui smiled, "Why, you are not happy?"

"No, no, no, of course I am happy to do so. I am able to work here because of Madam's kindness. I wish you could see my loyalty and ability!"

He was very tactful and worked with Fangcao to move things in.

Gu Yichuan wanted to help, but was stopped by him. "Sir, Madam, we are here. It's still snowing, and there's a charcoal fire burning in the house. Please go in quickly. If you get cold, it will be our fault."

Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan entered the room together and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you still smart?"

Gu Yichuan smiled and said, "Your vision is naturally not bad."

After being busy for most of the day, not long after they had put their things in Qingyu Lane, it was dark, so Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan went to bed early.

It snowed all night, and the next day, the sky cleared up.

The bamboo forest beside the wall was bent by the thick snow, and when the sunlight shone on it, it refracted a golden glow.

After breakfast, Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan took a walk under the bamboo forest. She looked at the green bamboos covered with snow above her head, and suddenly she felt playful and called out "Yichuan!"

Gu Yichuan looked at her suspiciously.

But she let go of his hand, grabbed the bamboo branch above her head, and then ran away, leaving Gu Yichuan alone with his head and body soaked in snow. The snow got into his collar, and Gu Yichuan was stung by the sudden coldness and almost jumped up, and he frantically patted the snow out of his collar.

Gu Yichuan has always been calm and self-contained, with the elegance of a scholar. How could he have ever jumped around like a monkey catching fleas?

Looking at his funny appearance, Shen Nankui found it more and more amusing, and his laughter echoed in the courtyard.

"Fool, why don't you hide?"

Gu Yichuan brushed off the snow on his body, then walked up to her and pinched her face, saying helplessly, "How could I know that my dignified and elegant wife could be such a mischievous ghost who plays tricks on people?"

"You're angry?"

Gu Yichuan smiled and shook his head, "Of course not."

"really?"

"really."

Suddenly, Shen Nankui raised her hand, and a small snowball shattered on Gu Yichuan's temples.

"Since you're not angry, then I won't be polite!"
