Chapter 323: The Wedding Day is Approaching

ke. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know where you went wrong."Gu Xiumin was stunned, his face bewildered.Looking at his oblivious expression, Gu Jingxi pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a slight i...Upon hearing this, Zhang felt a huge stone lift from her heart. Everything was developing in a positive direction.

Gu Xuyan said these days she felt very comfortable, feeling that life had hope again. She said to her mother, "Mom, what you said before makes sense. She was just being strict with me for a while. When she becomes even more satisfied with me, maybe those rules won't be necessary anymore."

Zhang smiled and said, "That's for sure. Setting rules for a daughter-in-law is only temporary. If we set them for her whole life, outsiders would call me an evil mother-in-law." She grasped her daughter's hand and patted it gently, saying in a serious tone, "Xuan Yi, you just need to do your duty as a daughter-in-law well and respect her properly. People are made of flesh and blood; if she is satisfied with you as her daughter-in-law, she will naturally treat you well."

This time, Gu Xuanyi did not refute and agreed with her mother's words, saying: "Mother, last time was because the daughter was ignorant and worried you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang shi was slightly surprised, as if she hadn't expected her daughter to say such things one day. After the last time her daughter ran back to her mother's house, she had grown a lot.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from not far away: "Xuan Yi, so you're here."

Gu Xuanyi looked out from the pavilion, that familiar figure came into view, a smile instantly appeared on her face.

Lord Wu An's heir quickly walked towards them. He bowed respectfully to Lady Zhang, then stood beside Miss Gu, looking at her with tender affection.

Seeing this, Zhang also felt happy for her daughter. With someone who loved her so much, her future wouldn't be bad. Taking advantage of the fact that both her daughter and son-in-law were present, she gave them some pressure: "Xuan Yi, your sister Xuan Ling is three months pregnant now. You got married earlier than them, so you guys should try harder and let mother hold a grandchild sooner."

Gu Xuyan lowered her head, blushing shyly.

Duke Wuan's son, Wen Yan, said: "Mother-in-law, children's matters are left to fate; one shouldn't rush them. Besides, Xuan Yi is still young. If she were to become a mother so early, I imagine it would be quite overwhelming for her."

"Yes, Mother, you're right. This kind of thing can't be rushed. Besides, I'm not ready to be someone else's mother yet. Let's talk about it in a couple of years,"

Zhang, having heard this, did not bring it up again. Otherwise, she would appear to be meddling too much as an elder.

Thereafter, Zhang also had something to attend to. With guests present, she couldn't leave for too long. She left the pavilion, and only Gu Xuanyi and her husband remained inside.

Marquis Wu'an's son sat beside her, his gaze falling on the precious flowers and trees outside the pavilion. He seemed to be admiring them, and casually asked: "Xuan Yi, I just saw you talking happily with your mother-in-law. What topic did you discuss that made you so happy"

Gus replied, "I didn't say anything special, just some casual chit-chat."

What kind of everyday talk are you having

Marquis Wu'an's son tapped his finger lightly on the stone table, glancing at her as if he was very interested in their conversation.

Gu Xuanyi puzzled: "Husband, are you interested in women's topics"

"Not at all, my dear. I'm simply interested in everything concerning Lady Xuyan. Whatever it is, if it has to do with her, I find it fascinating."

Gu Xuyan's heart was filled with joy, the corners of her mouth subtly lifting. She truthfully replied, "Mother only asked if I had been wronged after returning home with you that day. I said I hadn't been wronged, and she felt relieved."

Prince Wuan's son nodded lightly and said softly, "Mother is not an unreasonable person. That matter was done incorrectly by your younger sister. You don't have to hold it against her. If you really can't get along with her, just say hello when you meet. She started talking about getting married this year, and she'll probably get married next year."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanyi's smile deepened. She had always looked forward to her younger sister getting married, and it would be best if the marriage was settled in two months and she got married by the end of the year, so that they wouldn't have to wait until next year.

Prince Wu An, lost in thought, instructed: "Xuanyi, from now on, you shouldn't tell the elders about our affairs."

Gu Xuanyi uttered a confused "Ah" and stared blankly at her husband. She didn't seem to have said anything to their elders.

Duke Wuan's son looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "Our affairs, I don't want elders to inquire about them, let alone interfere. Understand"

Gu Xuyan didn't disagree, she glared at him and said helplessly: "I know, we are adults, not children. We solve our own problems. You've said similar things many times, I'm starting to get calluses on my ears."

Upon hearing this, the young master of Duke Wu'an was slightly taken aback. He then lowered his head and sighed softly: "That is also because I was overly controlled by my mother since childhood, so I resented being interfered with in my own affairs. When I was little, I would report everything to my elders, but after I grew up, I basically stopped."

Gu Xuyan nodded repeatedly: "Husband, I understand. That's why I haven't told our elders about our affairs."

The young master of the Duke of Wuan smiled, "Xuan Yi should be the woman in the world who understands me best and whose temperament is most compatible with mine. If a man has such a wife, what more could he ask for"

Gu Xuanyi, upon hearing this, blushed slightly and pouted, "You're so smooth-talking, are you trying to flatter me"

Duke Wuan's eldest son put on an innocent face: "Lady Xuanyi, you're wrongly accusing me. Everything I said is the truth."

-

It is day.

Changxing Houfu received an invitation from Yongchang Bo Fu. Yongchang Bo Meng Dongyuan is about to marry his third wife, Dong Shi. The date is set for the eighth day of the first lunar month in April. Now the wedding day is just around the corner.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the contents of the invitation and closed it. Her father remarrying a beautiful young wife was something that didn't stir any waves within her, but she did have some curiosity about Dong Shi. She had never met Dong Shi; all she had heard was that she was a woman with a gentle personality. But where rumors could be trusted After all, people had once praised Sun Shi as a virtuous wife and mother, an exemplary woman of virtue, but in reality, she was a poisonous viper.

Gu Jingxi had just returned when he saw her holding a wedding invitation in her hand and casually asked, "Ayao, whose wedding invitation is this"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, “This invitation is from my father, your father-in-law. He's getting married next month on the eighth day of the first lunar month and inviting us to celebrate his wedding.”

Gu Jingxi was so busy that he almost forgot about his father-in-law's remarriage. When he heard the news, he was taken aback and said, "It's late March now, and April 8th isn't far away."

Meng Jinyao replied, "That's right, there are only ten days left.

Gu Jingxi said softly, "Ayao, you should start preparing the gift. Find some time to go to the warehouse and pick out a gift, then bring it over when the time comes."

Meng Jin Yao nodded lightly, then turned and asked in confusion, "My husband, although I'm displeased with him, we can't lose face at this time, or else people will gossip. As his daughter-in-law, what gift should we send as a congratulation"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi fell into thought for a moment before replying, "I remember there's a screen in the storeroom embroidered with two flying birds intertwined with branches. What do you think, Ayo"

Meng Jin Yao nodded and said, "This is good. It symbolizes a happy union and is suitable as a wedding gift." Her voice paused, "Wait, I remember we don't have this kind of screen in our warehouse."

Gu Jingxi shook his head. "It's not our private treasury, it's the family warehouse."

Meng Jin Yao's face was full of astonishment: "How did you know that so clearly, my husband"

Gu Jingxi said, "I just went to the warehouse a few days ago to look for ancient paintings, and I saw that screen."effect wouldn't be as good. But I don't know how much strength to use."Meng Jin Yao replied softly, "It's nothing, I'm just not ready yet. You can continue."Autumn's chill arrived, and Qing Qiu contin...
