The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Hearing her daughter's voice, Shu immediately turned her head.

Gu Ruoxi supported her mother and looked at the door in front of them:

"Mom, this will be your home from now on. I will come back often to be with you."

As she said that, she supported Shu and walked inside.

Nanny Yang and Qingqiu were by her side. Nanny Yang introduced:

"Madam Shu, Madam Shao, I came back a while ago and asked someone to come and clean the place. Maybe they are still cleaning inside."

Gu Ruoxi moved her fingers and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Madam Yang. Let's go in and take a look."

Gu Ruoxi had already helped her mother into the gate when she seemed to realize that Nangong Yu hadn't come yet. Looking back, Nangong Yu was telling Qingyi something.

"Prince, let's go in first."

Gu Ruoxi said this in a loud voice. Madam Shu also just remembered that there was a son-in-law of the prince's daughter. She hurriedly stopped and pulled her daughter uncomfortably:

"Nannan, you...you should stay with your husband. Mother...Mother can go by herself."

In her opinion, once her daughter gets married, she should take good care of her husband.

Gu Ruoxi also looked back again. Nangong Yu had a calm expression and was still talking to Qingyi.

"He's busy right now, let's go in first."

Gu Ruoxi helped her mother into the yard. There were two gatehouses at the entrance. One was for the gatekeeper to live in, and the other was for entertaining temporary guests with tea.

Further ahead is a garden with long corridors on both sides. One of the corridors leads to the study room in the outer courtyard.

There is a small courtyard behind the study, which seems to be suitable for living.

Behind the corridor on the other side are two simple courtyards, which should be the place for entertaining guests.

In the middle of the entrance is a screen wall. The screen wall is simple and elegant, but it looks quite old. It seems to have blocked a lot of wind and rain for the owner.

There is a flower bed behind the screen wall, and behind the flower bed is the second gate.

The courtyard after entering the second gate is bigger, but the garden is smaller because there are more courtyards for people to live in.

The main courtyard looks pretty good, and is divided into two wings, east and west. Next to the main courtyard, there are two small courtyards, which only have the main house and no wings.

Behind the main courtyard, there is a larger courtyard. There is no main courtyard here. With the center as the axis, there are two small courtyards on the left and right. However, the small courtyards here are larger than the small courtyards in front, and each of them can almost become a family of its own when the door is closed.

A little further back, there is another row of houses, which are the back rooms, where the servants in the mansion can live.

Gu Ruoxi was quick on her feet, and she ran everywhere in a hurry, but Shu Shi was not able to do that. Gu Ruoxi took her to the main courtyard behind the second gate and went to see the layout behind it herself.

Only Qingqiu followed her and introduced this courtyard to her, saying that it was sandwiched in the middle, with wealthy families on both sides.

On one side is the residence of the current Minister of Personnel Xu Shangshu. On the other side is the back room of the Third Prince's palace.

After hearing about this layout, Gu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. Although she was not very familiar with the official positions here, the title of Third Prince should be a very important one.

Qingqiu seemed to know that she didn't understand, so she went out of her way to introduce the two families to her.

Because the Marquis's wife said that she would make some introductions to the young lady at any time, Qingqiu naturally knew the young lady's growth experience since childhood, and she was eager to cram all the things that the young lady should know into her mind.

In this way, the young lady will make fewer mistakes and it will be easier for me to serve her.

After Gu Ruoxi took a rough look at the layout behind, several guards carried Nangong Yu to the main courtyard.

Although Nanny Yang was with her, Shu still felt uncomfortable.

She couldn't see her son-in-law clearly, she could only hear his voice. She knew he was a prince, but to her, he was just an outsider.

When Gu Ruoxi came in and saw the prince, she said:

"I went to see the back and saw some people cleaning it. It's really nice to have such a big yard."

Turning to Shu, he said:

"Mom, I've seen that every courtyard is bigger than the one we lived in before. You can live here with peace of mind from now on."

After looking around, she said to Nangong Yu:

"Can I...can I let Ruyue live here to accompany my mother?"

Ruyue was the only person in Shu's family that she was familiar with besides Gu Ruoxi. She felt more at ease with someone familiar around her.

Nangong Yu knew Ruyue, the dowry girl who was trembling at the door:

"Okay, then Madam Yang, you go back first. I'll have someone send some food over from the East Courtyard. Before we start fighting here, all the food will be sent over from the East Courtyard."

"Yes."

Nanny Yang is a capable person beside the Marquis' wife. She has been out with her for most of the day today. I'm sure the Marquis' wife must be worried about her.

Nangong Yu waved to Qingqiu, and Qingqiu sensibly took all the servants out of the room, then stood at the door herself. Only Nangong Yu, Gu Ruoxi and Shu were left in the room.

Nangong Yu said:

"Mother-in-law, you will live here from now on. Don't worry about anything else. Just take good care of your health."

Then he said to Gu Ruoxi:

"I will arrange some people to take care of her. Don't worry, the people I arrange here will not be from the Marquis' Mansion. They will all be my own people."

When Gu Ruoxi passed by and couldn't call Qingyi, she knew that people only recognize whoever is their master.

She asked directly:

"Will your people listen to my mother? Will they not bully my mother?"

Nangong Yu was startled at first, then laughed and said:

"Don't worry, I'll arrange my people and tell them to take good care of your mother."

This girl, call her stupid, but she was able to grasp the main points when arguing with the Ningyuan Marquis' wife in his mansion.

You say she is smart, but she can't hear this? When he said he would arrange his own people, he meant to tell her that this would be a place she could come to with confidence, and no one from Changyong Marquis's Mansion would interfere here, nor would anyone from other mansions.

This also shows my attitude: I have your family covered.

But the silly girl didn't understand. It seems that I have to explain it to her in detail when I go back tonight.

This girl doesn't completely trust herself.

He also knew the situation of this mother and daughter. Maybe it wasn't just him that they couldn't trust. Maybe they didn't trust anyone except themselves.

Nangong Yu said gently:

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. Xi'er will stay in my house in the future. I will definitely protect her and won't let anyone bully her. My mother will also protect Xi'er. My mother likes Xi'er very much. If you don't believe me, ask Xi'er."

He tried his best to make the Shu family trust him. Only if they trusted him would it be easier for him to take care of them.

Gu Ruoxi agreed with Xie Qingrou's statement that she liked him:

"Mother, what the prince said is true. The marquis' wife said that I should call her mother as well, and she will love me in the future."

Knowing that her daughter could be liked by her mother-in-law, Shu Shi naturally felt more relieved. She herself didn't know how to get along with her mother-in-law, but after seeing the Ningyuan Marquis's wife and the old marquis' wife getting along for a while:

"Xi'er, Madam Hou is your mother-in-law. You should follow the prince and call her mother. She is the elder. You should be filial and obedient."

Nangong Yu immediately said:

"So, mother-in-law, you will be my elder in the future, and I will be filial to you. It may be inconvenient for you to live alone here, so you can use the people I arrange for you without worry. If they are not considerate enough, just tell me."
