"Mrs. Lu, marriage is not a joke, but it doesn't mean that one person should make unnecessary sacrifices for another." Bai said in a gentle tone.

"I just ask you not to exclude Wangzhou because of me. I think Madam Gu, as someone who has experienced this child, can clearly see the feelings in his eyes just by looking at him."

It would be a lie to say that Bai was not touched, especially when she heard that she would not have to live with her mother-in-law. However, promises are not counted, and only fulfillment can prove the truth.

When the two of them were at a loss for words, Gu Qinghe's voice came from outside, "Is mother busy?"

"Mrs. Lu is talking to Madam inside." The maid replied.

"Oh, since it's not convenient now, I'll come again tomorrow and tell my mother that I have nothing to do and just came to see her." Gu Qinghe smiled, then turned and was about to leave.

"Qinghe--" Mrs. Lu shouted while holding the door frame.

Gu Qinghe was feeling embarrassed and was about to avoid it, but she didn't expect Mrs. Lu to come out and call her.

"Mrs. Lu, greetings to you." Gu Qinghe bowed.

"Good boy, can you say a few more words to Aunt Lu?" Mrs. Lu's words were earnest and her expression was sincere.

"Then come in and sit down and talk." Bai said.

"Okay." Mrs. Lu waited at the door for Gu Qinghe to come over and tried to hold her hand, but she dodged her attempts skillfully.

Once inside the house, I couldn't say anything in front of the person involved. This kind of thing was like a small cut on white porcelain, which could not be erased.

East Palace Study

Xiao Jingheng was drawing a picture. The picture was of Gu Qinghe puffing out her cheeks, frowning her brows, and helplessly calling him "Shaoci brother" in the treasure house that day.

Looking back now, I find it so funny. Why didn’t I realize Gu Qinghe’s true nature before?

Han Desheng watched as the Crown Prince's brushstrokes gently outlined Miss Gu San's lips in the painting. Due to the Crown Prince's special care, the cherry lips were particularly delicate and beautiful.

In the past, he was really short-sighted and could not see that the words "food, sex and nature" could also be applied to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had learned the way of ruthlessness and the way of kingship from the Grand Tutor.

After all, the prince is also an ordinary person, and he cannot escape from all emotions and desires.

"Manager Han—" The door of the main hall was gently pushed open a crack, revealing the eyes of a little eunuch, and Han Desheng hurried over.

"Your Highness, Zhang Wu is asking for a meeting outside. He said there is something special going on." Han Desheng turned around and came back to report.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to keep an eye on Miss Gu San anymore and that you only need to protect her in secret? Why are you rushing here? What's the urgent matter?" Xiao Jingheng raised his head from the painting, "Let him in."

"I'm here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was outside the Gu Mansion as usual today, but I saw Lu Wangzhou's parents coming to apologize with various gifts. Lord Gu invited them in." Zhang Wu said as he observed the changes in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression.

Very good. The prince did not look disgusted with me meddling in other people's affairs.

Whether he can use this to defeat his brother Zhang Wen depends on this one.

"You don't have to report it in the future, but it is still commendable to have this awareness." Xiao Jingheng listened to Zhang Wu calmly and said lightly.

"Han Desheng, send Zhang Wu out." Xiao Jingheng ordered, and returned to the desk again. He picked up the fine-bristle brush and paused on the furrowed eyebrows of the person in the painting.

"I didn't do things properly in my previous life. You didn't ask any questions and didn't give me any chance. You just went straight into the cold war. Mrs. Lu changed her attitude drastically. With your temper, you wouldn't dare to go to their house, right?" Xiao Jingheng said with a faint smile.

After Han Desheng sent Zhang Wu away, when he came back, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiling slyly at the person in the painting, like a rat that had stolen oil.

Ah, what a sin! How can you call the sons and grandsons of dragons mice?

"Han Desheng, put this painting away," Xiao Jingheng said after he finished dotting the teardrop mole at the end of Gu Qinghe's right eye, put away the pen, looked at it for a moment, and said so.

"Yes, I obey your command." Han Desheng secretly thought about which box this should be placed in. This thing must be kept properly.

No matter what happened in the previous life, people who have been married for more than ten years will have a deeper understanding of each other.

As Xiao Jingheng said, Gu Qinghe really didn't dare to let herself go to the Lu family. However, there was a problem now. No one was interested in Gu Qinghe.

After the coming-of-age banquet, three families approached Gu Ruoxing, and although none of them seemed suitable, in everyone's eyes, she was better than Gu Qinghe.

Gu Qinghe deserves sympathy, but how?

At the coming-of-age ceremony, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came specially to give a piece of jewelry, seemingly casually, but in fact he deliberately made some remarks about brother and sister, making everyone present think that the third daughter of the Gu family must have been chosen by the palace.

Which family would dare to touch a woman like this?

Unless you don't want to die, but if you don't even want to die, then you don't want a wife...

On the first day of June, according to the old custom, people from the three families would gather at the old lady's house for dinner.

"Third brother, how do you think Ruoxing's fortune is? Half of the year has passed. Next year, Ruoxing will be seventeen years old. It is no longer the time to be picky." Old Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Ruoxing and said.

A while ago, a cousin from the old lady's family came to visit the second daughter, but Wang used an excuse to avoid him. The old lady knew that he just disliked her family's decline.

However, no matter how poor he is, he is still an earl. I don’t know what kind of family background Ruoxing cares about. Does she want to marry the prince?

She saw it clearly that day. When Ruo Xing jumped out and said something about the peach wood hairpin, the Crown Prince's eyes swept over her with an inexplicable disgust.

It’s completely two extremes compared to when I watched Qinghe.

"Mother, you're old now, why are you still meddling in these trivial matters? Everyone has their own children, so no one can get close to you." Li smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my third sister-in-law will definitely choose the best son-in-law for Ruoxing."

"Although I am jealous of my sister-in-law's children having their mother's support, I now agree with what my sister-in-law said." Bai said with a faint smile and nodded to Li.

"It seems like my eldest and second sisters-in-law have discussed it beforehand, but our third room is the smallest, so aren't we at a disadvantage?" Wang said.

"What my third sister-in-law said doesn't make sense. Although my third brother is the youngest of the three brothers, according to Gu Yun's generation, the second wife's child is the youngest." Li said, pointing at Bai's belly, "Look, Qinghe is the youngest among the girls. If this is a boy, he would be the youngest among the boys."
