Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 176: Really Long-lasting Love
Gu Qinghe followed her mother to the second room, "Mother, let's just let Third Aunt talk to Grandmother today so I can stop them from thinking about it and stop bringing it up."
"No, today is the first day of the new year, we need to have a good start." Bai said. In fact, she never really cared about these things, but when she thought about her daughter leaving the protection of her parents, she couldn't help but think more about it.
"Okay, I'll listen to mother." Gu Qinghe took his mother's arm and said with a smile.
"No matter how much your grandmother and Third Aunt talk, it's nothing but the same old things. However, today, it seems like your Third Aunt is trying to play the victim." Mrs. Bai thought of Wang's plaintive expression and smiled. "It's a little different from her usual direct requests."
Gu Qinghe nodded. "It's not common for Third Aunt to show weakness, so I said let her speak."
Mrs. Bai tapped her daughter's arm and went back into the room. The mother and daughter suppressed their laughter. Gu Feng was still sleeping.

The grand court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year is the most important morning court meeting of the year. All officials in the capital, unless they are sick or unable to get up, must attend.
Lu Wangzhou stood with his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy early in the morning, saying auspicious words, but the smile on his face did not seem genuine.
"Wangzhou, it's been several months since you were appointed as an official, and things are relatively stable. A few days ago, the Minister of Works, Lord Feng, asked someone to inquire about you, and it seems that he is interested in marrying you."
"Oh, this is truly a great son-in-law." Feng Bao, the same year, also came over and cheered.
Lu Wangzhou's expression was indifferent. "I'm not interested in this right now, and I don't intend to force a match. Marriage is all about fate."
Feng Bao knew something about Lu Wangzhou, and he also brought other people to talk about other things. Before he could say a few words, he saw the prince walking towards him.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may His Royal Highness be blessed." Feng Bao tugged at Lu Wangzhou's sleeve, and then they bowed together.
Xiao Jingheng originally planned to walk past Lu Wangzhou quickly. He had been doing this for some time, hoping to "out of sight, out of mind".
But today, as luck would have it, I heard that someone was planning to marry Lu Wangzhou.
He naturally wanted to slow down and listen to what was going on. The result did not surprise him. Lu Wangzhou said that he was not interested yet and that it all depended on fate. Such lies were exactly the same as the excuse he had used to refuse him when he wanted to arrange a marriage for him in his previous life. It was a pity that he had sympathized with him in his previous life.
Humph, you are really loyal.
Xiao Jingheng was feeling the cold breeze of the early morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. His ears felt cool, but his left chest felt very hot, as if there was a fire burning fiercely.
He glanced at Lu Wangzhou and raised his hand, "No need to be polite."
Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked forward in a graceful manner. He had just seen his future father-in-law and wanted to go over to say hello.
Whenever the prince appeared in the crowd, he would be the focus of attention. Gu An naturally noticed it, especially when the prince stopped in front of Lu Wangzhou.
Both of them behaved normally and handled their affairs impartially, which made Gu An feel relieved. He thought that Lu Wangzhou should make some achievements in his official career.
It would be wrong to bury a good minister for personal feelings, and it is not the demeanor that a crown prince should have.
While he was thinking, the Crown Prince arrived in front of him, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Happy New Year."
"Master Gu, there's no need to be so polite." Xiao Jingheng paused for a moment after saying this, "I also wish Master Gu a happy new year."
Gu An obviously did not expect this, but his colleagues next to him were a little agitated, holding up their tablets and winking at each other.

After the grand court meeting was over, Gu An was still thinking about how his mother looked last night. Today, he must take advantage of the New Year's greetings to say something to his mother and Qinghe.
So he refused his colleagues' invitation and did not take a carriage. Instead, he rode his horse with his servant and went straight home.
When I returned to the courtyard of the second house, I only heard the laughter of my wife, daughter and Gu Feng. They seemed to be in a good mood.
"Madam, the master is back." Mother Liu said with a smile.
Bai nodded, looked outside, and continued to tease Gu Feng to turn over. Now Gu Feng was already very skilled at it, but his clothes were heavy, so he looked a bit like a little turtle that was difficult to turn over.
Gu An came in and also laughed. After washing his hands, he pushed his son's back and said, "Father and son should be united. Your mother and your sister only laugh at your jokes, but if you can make them laugh, I will also remember your achievement as a father."
Gu Qinghe noticed the eye contact between her father and mother. "Father, Mother, the wind has died down outside, so I'll take my brother to the porch to bask in the sun for a while."
Gu An nodded with relief, "Go ahead."
"Yingchun, take the young master's small blanket." Gu Qinghe then carried the very well-behaved Gu Feng out.
Bai looked at the siblings and smiled, "It seems like the younger brother is a little afraid of his sister."
"This is the best. We didn't give birth to him to cause trouble for Qinghe. Now it seems that this child was born at the right time. Otherwise, Qinghe would become the Crown Princess but have no brothers from her family. She would be looked down upon easily. If Gu Feng has a promising future, he can take over my job when I retire and protect his sister." Gu An glanced out the window meaningfully.
"Husband, you think longer-term than I do." Bai sighed.
"It's my duty." Gu An said with a smile, then changed the subject, "This morning, you took Qinghe to mother's yard. Mother didn't say anything, right?"
"No, I suggested to my mother that today is the first day of the new year, so we shouldn't say anything unpleasant." Bai smiled and said, "Then my mother said what I said made sense, so she didn't say anything."
Gu An was a little surprised, "Madam really sees through people's hearts, she is smarter than me. However, it is not easy to change mother's mind. Fortunately, my third brother is sensible.
Mrs. Bai nodded. Since her husband was already on her side, there was no need for her to exaggerate the situation, as it might backfire.
She only said, "Thank you for your help, husband."
Gu An also felt relieved and nodded, then went out to the corridor. The family was happy and harmonious.

Compared with the second room, the atmosphere in the third room is not so peaceful.
Wang was complaining about how Bai had held back her frustrations at the old lady's place this morning. "Mother Feng, you saw it just now. I did as you said and smiled at everyone. I thought I'd been pretty nice to the people in the second house recently. But look, today is Chinese New Year, and she treated me like that."
"You won't even let me speak." Wang complained, "Even if you're a stranger, you still have to listen to what's going on. Look at my good sister-in-law, she's so cold-blooded."
"Second Madam, please speak softly or there may be ears on the other side of the wall." Mother Feng reminded.
