Mei Bao laughed aloud, her laughter sent chills down people’s spines; just when Liu Yun thought she was going to do something, she turned and left.
"Crazy," Liu Yun lay down, intending to rest well again, but a chill overwhelmed her, followed by water all over herself, soaking the bed.
"You’re crazy..."
"I was driven crazy by you people, I want to let you know that if I can’t live well, none of you will either." Mei Bao still held a water ladle, "Was it satisfying to be cold this time? Next time I can use something hot."
Now there’s no way to lie in bed, Liu Yun threw off the quilt and stood up, angrily rushing at Mei Bao, but she turned and ran outside.
Dammit, this is a lunatic, how can a lunatic still be afraid?
It’s truly unlucky, this year their Gu Family must be going through a curse, everything is going so wrong.
It’s so cold outside, but she didn’t lose her mind and chase out, instead, she changed clothes first, then took the quilt to the fire to dry it.
Everyone has only one quilt, what will she sleep on tonight otherwise?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Mei Bao’s bed, and coldly smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Escape the monk, can’t escape the temple. If you make me suffer, no one will have peace."
Xu Yulan, who just witnessed everything outside, curled the corners of her mouth, thinking everybody has gone insane, and this madness can be contagious. No, she must rush back to the capital, once back, she won’t fear anything.
The dealings of the Gu Family aren’t even secret in the village, Bai Suihe occasionally heard some gossip.
Hearing how lively this family is, Bai Suihe couldn’t help but want to move a stool to listen to the live gossip.
Money can solve many problems, but without a fool like her, the Gu Family’s life is truly exciting.
It appears that the Third Prince truly is poor, couldn’t even provide settlement expenses, leading the whole Gu Family to squeeze into such a small farmhouse, daily chaos abounding.
If truly considerate, they could have given more silver; the village could sell more land to them.
They could even use Ming Peifeng’s name to purchase, these people, don’t know if they’ve truly forgotten or just selectively forgot.
"This Gu Family is too noisy," Nanny Pang saw the son-in-law lead people to the backyard to busy with his greenhouse, then shook her head and said, "Lucky the son-in-law is still sensible, didn’t continue mingling with them, otherwise living with such people, you’d be angry nine times a day."
Bai Suihe deeply agrees, "Who knows what Gu Official is thinking, he’s already struggling for himself, yet lusted after colors and brought these three women here, knowing they’re up to no good, surprisingly agreed to let Xu Shuanghong into the genealogy."
Thinking inside, Xu Huizhen really hasn’t lived a worthy life, who knows if she could see all this, would she regret it?
Bai Suihe isn’t a non-believer anymore, she could come here, there are souls in this world, and she believes in them.
"Such a clever person should have one’s own calculations," Nanny Pang had already inquired from two maids about the Gu family’s behavior, looking down on this whole family, "The pardon notice has been out for many days, why haven’t these people returned?"
Bai Suihe, "Waiting to take advantage."
Recently, daily someone goes to Kai Yuan asking when they’re going back to the capital, he’s so annoyed he’s trying to avoid walking around the village.
If not hiding in the backyard to look at his vegetables, then goes into the mountains to hunt.
This is far from being that imposing Great General in the book, Bai Suihe can’t help but wonder sometimes, is it because she has worn down his ambition?
Can’t help but narcissistically touch her slightly rounded face, in late pregnancy, plus eating well these days, she’s gained a full circle weight.
If not for Nanny Pang promising to help her regain her previous look after the child is born, she’d start to control her food intake.
However, for this, she insists on eating a little less daily, after all, beauty is every woman’s nature, can’t just let herself waste away.
"Knowing it’s impossible," Nanny Pang shook her head, "In front of one’s own interests, everyone is selfish.
Luckily the son-in-law is wise, otherwise..."
Looked at Bai Suihe and then said, "The son-in-law is a good one."
Bai Suihe knows what she’s going to say next, if Kai Yuan saw the notice and packed, ready to return to the capital, even if Bai Suihe agreed, Nanny Pang would find ways to keep them here.
And for this reason, Nanny Pang has been particularly cordial to Kai Yuan these past two days, occasionally making herbal cuisine suitable for Kai Yuan’s health.
Just then, Dongmei and Chunxiang hurried back from town; today they went shopping for things that are for their daughters’ use.
"Miss, Nanny," each of the two maids held a heap of things in their arms, greeted immediately upon seeing each other.
"Have you bought everything?" Bai Suihe actually wants to go to the town too, but isn’t allowed.
It’s nearing the end of the year, many people in the county town, plus roads are not so smooth, going to town now would just bring hardship.
"Almost everything," Dongmei laid items on the table one by one, "Just that the textile shop’s business is too good, the fine cotton cloth Nanny wanted wasn’t available, but we’ve already made a reservation with the shopkeeper and paid deposit, can pick it up in a few days."
Nanny Pang wants fine cotton cloth, to make clothes for the soon-to-be-born young master, some have been made, but kids grow fast, so it’s better to prepare more in advance.
"Booked is fine," Nanny Pang smiled and nodded, these two maids have matured, thankfully didn’t come back first to ask, knowing how to be flexible, and later can relieve the lady’s worries.
"Did you hear any interesting news while in town?" Bai Suihe has been reading books all morning, finally able to rest, naturally wants to hear some gossip for relaxation.
There are only so many gossips in the village, Bai Suihe is long bored of them.
"There actually is," Chunxiang’s eyes lit up, "Does Miss still remember Mrs. Zhou?"
Bai Suihe nodded, "Of course I remember, Mrs. Zhou is quite pitiful too, her whole life being harmed by her stepson."
Nanny Pang perked her ears, another tale of inner residence’s grudges, wanting to hear if there’s anything different.
"Mrs. Zhou returned to the capital today."
Bai Suihe, "... Really cut ties with Zhou Gang?"
"Haven’t they been separate families for quite a while?" Dongmei, somewhat puzzled, in her view, a split family is not a family.
"Split is split, but big events still need to be discussed by the entire family; Mrs. Zhou suddenly rushed her family back to the capital now, must be not so simple."
Mrs. Zhou probably belongs to those traditional women, or else she wouldn’t be repeatedly hurt by her stepson, even emptied her pocket to share family estate.
