The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After putting on her clothes, Xu Wencheng carried her to the table. After washing and eating, he regained some strength and helped her walk out the door.

Seeing their daughter-in-law looking so frail, Jiang and Xu Yongwang glared at Xu Wencheng.

Xu Wencheng was so embarrassed that he avoided their sight.

Song Yuntang sat next to Xu Qingye, looking at the scene in the room. She pinched the sleeve of the man next to her, leaned back slightly and used his shoulder to shield her body, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Xu Qingye looked in her direction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

When Xu Wencheng glanced at his brother and sister-in-law who were smiling, he felt even more embarrassed.

Gu Xinjiu offered a cup of tea to Xu Yongwang, Jiang, Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang respectively, and the four of them also prepared gifts for her.

Correspondingly, Gu Xinjiu also prepared gifts for the two younger generations, Hao Ting and Yun Xiao.

Hao Ting took the gift and called her affectionately.

"Thank you, aunt."

After the tea ceremony, it was time for lunch and the family gathered together to have a meal.

However, since Gu Xinjiu had already eaten before coming to serve tea, she didn't eat much at noon.

When Jiang saw this, she hurriedly asked Xu Wencheng to take her back to the yard to rest.

……

The next day, Xu Yongwang and Jiang set out early in the morning to return to Lushan Village. Song Yuntang saw their reluctance to leave.

Soon it was the day for Gu Xinjiu to return home.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Gu and Lord Gu were waiting at home and had ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

Seeing the affection between the young couple and Xu Wencheng's caring attitude towards his daughter, Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and looked a lot more relaxed.

On the way back, Gu Xinjiu would occasionally lift the curtain and look in the direction of the Gu Mansion, feeling vaguely worried.

Xu Wencheng looked at her in confusion.

"looking at what?"

"I don't know how my mother is doing in the Gu Mansion. Is my father still accommodating her like before? Are the concubines in the mansion giving her any trouble? Are my eldest brother and his wife on the same page with her?" She said, her eyes reddening. "She came back to the Gu Mansion for me and my eldest brother. I'm afraid she'll be hurt again."

After hearing this, Xu Wencheng couldn't bear it and hugged her in his arms.

"After all, we are all in the capital. If you are worried, you can come visit us often. If mother-in-law is unhappy in the Gu family, we can bring her to live in the Xu Mansion."

Gu Xinjiu laughed at his words.

"Which family in Beijing is like this? If the son-in-law supports his mother-in-law, people will laugh at him if it gets out."

The man said in a steady voice, "She gave birth to you and raised you. As the younger generation, we should be filial to her. Why should we care about what others think?"

Gu Xinjiu felt warm in her heart and hugged his waist tightly.

"My husband, you are such a kind person."

She made the right choice.

At least for now, he is really a very good person.

I will take care of her, care about her, soothe her emotions and make her happy.

I thought there was no emotional foundation between the two of us, and since he was a general, he would have some official airs. But after getting married, I found out that he was an upright person, without any dark side, and was sunny and warm.

It is her blessing to marry him.

Caressing his petite wife in his arms, Xu Wencheng couldn't help but think, so this is what it feels like to be a husband and be depended on.

……

On the second day after returning home, a letter was delivered from the Gu Mansion.

It was written by Mrs. Gu.

【Jiuer】

[By the time you see this letter, my mother has already left the capital.]

[When your grandfather was still alive, mother always wanted to go with him to see the yellow sand and Gobi Desert in Mobei. That's where your grandfather died in battle.]

Now that you and your elder brother have found your soulmates, I can now go out and see how vast the world is, how high the mountains are, and how long the rivers are. Don't be sad for me. I can travel freely in the world. I am free.

【I only wish my son a smooth future and eternal happiness and health. 】

[Don't worry, this is written by your mother, Ge Erlan.]

Looking at the letter, Gu Xinjiu bit her lip, trying not to cry.

"mother!"

In the end, the tears fell on the paper.

I thought the worst outcome for my mother would be to return to the farm and live alone, but I didn't expect her to just leave.

The world is so big, and I don’t know where my mother is going.

In the future, when she misses her mother, she will no longer be able to see her whenever she wants.

But as my mother said, this is the life she has always wanted. At least she is free and no longer has to worry about her and my elder brother.

Xu Wencheng was beside her, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He just patted her back gently to soothe her sad mood.

"Husband, can I still see my mother?"

"Of course she can," Xu Wencheng reassured her. "Mother-in-law is still young, so it's normal for her to want to go out and have a look. When she's seen enough and is older, maybe she'll come back."

"What if she is reluctant to return to Beijing because she is reluctant to visit the scenery outside?" Gu Xinjiu sobbed.

Xu Wencheng lowered his head and kissed his wife in his arms.

"Then I will take you to find her."

……

"drive!"

At this moment, a man and a horse left the city.

The woman looked to be only about thirty years old. Her dark purple outfit outlined her perfect figure. She had a pretty face and a heroic demeanor, with an unprecedented carefree and unrestrained look on her face.

After leaving the city, drive north.

……

Gu Mansion.

Originally, Mrs. Gu had been staying in her own yard these days and avoided going out, and also avoided being alone with Lord Gu.

Lord Gu originally thought that he and his wife had been separated for so many years, and now that she had come back for the sake of their child, as long as he treated her well, she would not leave again.

At breakfast today, the housekeeper said that the lady had gone out early in the morning. He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she just wanted to go out for a walk and might be back by lunch time.

He also instructed the housekeeper to go to the study and inform him once Mrs. Gu returned home.

But he waited and waited in the study until noon, but he didn't hear any news of Mrs. Gu coming back.

"Someone is coming."

Someone outside the house responded, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Go and see if the lady has returned?"

"Yes." The confidant returned, "Sir, the housekeeper said that the Madam hasn't returned yet. I stopped by her courtyard, but she didn't bring Nanny Zhao with her when she left."

Nanny Zhao is Madam Gu's confidante. She has hardly ever left her side over the years, even taking her with her when she goes to the farm.

Today, the lady went out without bringing Nanny Zhao with her. Lord Gu was so shocked that he dropped the book in his hand to the ground.

After he reacted, he stood up and walked out of the study, heading towards the main courtyard where Mrs. Gu lived.

Nanny Zhao was originally feeling sad in the yard. When she saw Lord Gu coming, she quickly wiped the tears from her face and stood up to bow.

"My lord is here."

Seeing Madam Zhao's expression, Lord Gu frowned slightly.

"Where's Madame?"

Madam Zhao lowered her brows.

"The lady has left."

Lord Gu's brow furrowed even deeper.

"What do you mean?"
