Chapter 689: Aunt Gu Operated Behind the Scenes and Changed Her Household Registration!
When Wen Xichi returned home, it was already getting late.
It was already past dinner time, and his parents should have gone to bed early. He had been so busy since he entered the Criminal Department, and he couldn't even see his family when he came home.
The boy led the way, holding a lantern in his hand.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Wen Xichi was about to step in, when he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the figure under the pine tree at the courtyard gate.
"Third cousin!" Gu Xishu timidly walked out from under the tree, followed by her maid Liu Ye.
"Why are you here at this time?" Wen Xichi's gaze fell on Gu Xishu. Since Gu Xishu became the second brother's concubine by name, the two of them had no contact in private, even in the house. Rarely seen here.
He served in the Ministry of Justice and rarely stayed in the mansion. Later, in order to avoid suspicion, he would avoid Gu Xishu early even if he saw her from a distance.
"Third cousin..." Gu Xishu became more and more timid. Her originally delicate face became more and more pitiful. Her eyelashes fluttered twice, with thousands of emotions and infinite grievances. She was so timid. He looked at the man in front of him. Under the light, he was even more beautiful and delicate.
Any man with a heart of stone will turn into tenderness after looking at it.
"Aunt Gu, you are the second brother's aunt now. If you have anything to do, you can go directly to the second brother!" Wen Xichi looked at Gu Xishu calmly and interrupted her.
The two of them have become known as each other, and it can be considered that they have gone through the process. Apart from not officially having sex, someone has already called them that in secret. This is the first time that Wen Xichi has called them that.
Gu Xishu's eyes turned red, and then tears fell one by one, looking extremely miserable.
"Third cousin...you...do you really want to be like this? I...what kind of person am I...you...don't you know? I am in this situation...it is also because of third cousin, third cousin Cousin, you..." Speaking of the grievances, he covered his face with a veil and started sobbing.
Her clothes were thin and not expensive. Not only were they plain and thin, but her shoulders were shaking slightly from crying. Even though she turned around now, people could still feel her with this look. Misery and despair.
Her affection for herself?
Wen Xichi sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand to pull his sleeves, and said impatiently: "So Aunt Gu...are you planning to avoid your second brother and express your love to me now?"
This was said by a man, and it was said by a man she admired. With such a mocking tone and such a sarcastic attitude, even though Gu Xishu had made up her mind, her face turned red with embarrassment. This will make me cry for real, and tears will fall down one after another.
"Third cousin... no matter what you say about me... you know my feelings. No matter what happens to me now, my feelings will never change!"
she cried, sobbing.
The boy looked around with a grimace and became alert. When the cousin was still a young lady, it would not be a problem even if she went a little too far. But now that the cousin is the aunt of the second young master, how can she still have the nerve to show up in front of her own young master? Come to cry and express your love? Doesn't this mean that the second young master and his own young master are going to fight?
In the past, when I was looking at my cousin, I was quite organized in doing things. But after the incident with the second young master was exposed, I started to act a little recklessly. Look what is happening now!
Is this what a concubine should do?
How shameless to say this!
What should I do if I know for sure that my Third Young Master can't take advantage of her? Or is she sure that all men will fall for her?
The boy actually looked down on Gu Xishu. Before the incident came out in the past, he thought she was still a bit of a lady, but now she looks very distasteful. She is flirting with others, and is flirtatious. That's it. This former cousin is now Aunt Gu!
When he saw his young master looking over at him, he could only raise his head helplessly and said: "Aunt Gu, please come back. If you have anything, go and tell the second young master. If you want to go to the palace, go and tell the prime minister and his wife. No matter what Whatever happened to Aunt Gu is none of our Third Young Master’s turn!"
Knowing that her young master was not even willing to talk to her, the young man could only think of himself as the evil person.
While speaking with a grimace, he glanced at his master, wondering if his master still wanted to talk to Aunt Gu here.
Wen Xichi turned around and walked inside.
"Third cousin..." Gu Xishu was so anxious that she took two steps forward to pull Wen Xichi's sleeves, but he swung her away violently.
"Aunt Gu, please respect yourself? If you continue to struggle, then go find the second brother!" Wen Xichi said coldly, his eyes sweeping over Gu Xishu's exquisitely dressed face, and a trace of light slipped from the corner of his lips. ridicule.
He is not his second brother!
Seeing him entering the door, the servant hurriedly followed him. He was afraid that Gu Xishu would shamelessly pester him again, so he hurriedly asked the woman guarding the courtyard door to close the door.
Seeing the courtyard door slamming shut, and hearing the sound of footsteps getting further and further away, Gu Xishu's face showed cold anger, and she kicked the tree on the side of the road. The pain in her soles was also pressing in her heart, and she gritted her teeth. Suck it up.
She had to endure it, she had to endure it!
Miss Shao had told her that if she couldn't bear it at this time, there would be no future for her. She had to endure it no matter what, but she couldn't wait for what was happening now!
"Miss..." Seeing her standing here and not leaving, Liu Ye reminded her in a low voice that this title was actually inconsistent with etiquette, but after Gu Xishu cried in front of Wen Xichi's mother, Wen Xichi's mother agreed. He chose this inappropriate title and continued to use the previous title in the mansion.
"What should we do now?" Gu Xishu said to herself, her eyes falling on the tightly closed courtyard door, with a hint of gloom in her eyes.
"Would you like to tell Miss Shao... You are also in a dilemma about this..." Liu Ye suggested.
"No! This will make Shao Yanru look down on me. If I ask for anything in the future, she will ignore it!" Gu Xishu shook her head and refused.
She and Shao Yanru also grew up together. Because the children in the house were young, the two families opened a side door. It was at that time that the two girls with the same scheming relationship got in touch.
The longer they were together, the better Gu Xishu got to know Shao Yanru. If she was of no value, she would not be of any use to Shao Yanru, so what she wanted from her in the future would definitely not work.
She must let Shao Yanru see her own value, so what if she is still known as her second cousin and aunt! The madam promised herself that she would give herself a wife.
Even if it's still possible... Anyway, I'm not really getting married right now, so everything is still possible!
"Go to second cousin!" She gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart. If Wen Xichi couldn't work here, then she would go to Wen Shi'an. Second cousin would definitely help her.
But she didn't want Wen Shi'an to help. She wanted to find a way to capture her third cousin. Anyway, she and her second cousin had not officially consummated their marriage. Even if she followed her third cousin in the future, it would be fine. At most, she would just cry a lot with her uncle and aunt. To some extent, even if you can't marry your third cousin as your first wife, you can always marry her as your equal wife and as your noble concubine.
The reason why she is so confident is because there was news that her father was promoted a while ago.
If her father gets promoted this time and works well and comes to Beijing, then the previous affairs between her and her second cousin may be wiped out. There will be no problem at all in marrying her second cousin as his head wife, but if she wants to marry her third cousin, It's not that easy. After all, she is the one who was booked to her second cousin.
But if there is some help, this kind of thing is not absolutely impossible.
And Shao Yanru is a good helper. In the past, she would please Shao Yanru and Mrs. Xingguo whenever she had the opportunity, just to use it at such a critical time.
Not only did she have to be busy this time, but she also had to do it beautifully. Besides, Doctor Qiu's affairs were originally related to her...
"What, change your household registration?" Wen Shi'an put down the book in her hand in surprise and said in astonishment.
He is the most laid-back of the three brothers in the Wen family. He is not as stable as the eldest son, nor as talented and knowledgeable as Wen Xichi. In the past, he only interacted with people from the market, but his romantic character is compared with that of some dandies. Not bad either.
Although he is holding a book in his hand and sitting in his study room, in fact, it is just an idle book, and it is even some books that are useful in the romantic field. When he sees his cousin coming, of course he will not Would love to let her see it.
"Yes, second cousin, do you still remember Dr. Qiu?" Gu Xishu stood in front of Wen Shi'an, with a sad face and a carefully dressed little face, which made Wen Shi'an feel very happy.
Although Gu Xishu was betrothed to him, and she was still in the name of his aunt, his inability to be his first wife meant that he could only watch Gu Xishu from a distance, and could not lean on her, and even often When he deliberately came closer, Gu Xishu looked like he had done something wrong.
He does have a lot of affection for this cousin, and he doesn't want to make her unhappy just like that. However, his marriage has been delayed. Every time when it is about to be consummated, something always comes up, and even When the two families were about to get married, one young lady even got into an accident and lost her life.
His reputation as a wife-suppressor has just gone down, and there are even rumors outside that he is too tough and will kill people.
His marriage was also delayed again and again. Mrs. Wen wanted to marry Gu Xishu directly to him and become his wife, and she even let Wen Shi'an know about it.
Wen Shi'an also felt very satisfied, but she still had to wait for her uncle and aunt's explanation on the specific matters.
In Wen Shi'an's heart, Gu Xishu is his woman. Now that his woman is in trouble, he is still willing to help her, but this matter is a bit difficult to handle, and he can't reach out with his idle hands.
"I remember that Doctor Qiu, but why did he want to change his household registration?" Wen Shi'an nodded when mentioning Doctor Qiu. It is said that this Doctor Qiu and his cousin even got married in a roundabout way, even though they were far away.
When he first came to Beijing, Doctor Qiu was still living in his own mansion. Later he went to Duke Xingguo's mansion. Wen Shi'an remembered it so clearly because he was injured at that time, and it was Doctor Qiu who was able to catch the injury. He was cured, and he still agreed with Dr. Qiu's medical skills.
