Song Pan'er went to his old house and didn't come back until evening.

Gu Jinzhi asked her what took her so long and what happened, and she told Gu Jinzhi that Mrs. Yuan went to the old house today.

"Send Tingfeng to Zhuangzi and let the child go." Song Pan'er sneered.

Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised and said, "You don't want the child?"

She knows that children are more important to the family than the woman who gives birth to them.

The Yuan family could say such words, which made Gu Jinzhi feel a little cold.

"That's what Mrs. Yuan said." Song Pan'er said.

Gu Jinzhi was silent for a moment and then said: "Mom, the Yuan family is different from what we imagined..."

People have complex emotions.

Sometimes, what changes is not the other party, but your own position.

Once your stance changes, your perspective on the other party's behavior also changes.

For example, Mrs. Yuan used to do anything to please the Gu family. At that time, Gu Jinzhi didn't find her annoying.

Everyone wants to live a better life and climb up.

It is human nature to seize opportunities and take advantage of them to strive for the upper reaches.

That's the case with Mrs. Yuan.

But now, with the fourth sister's incident mixed in, looking at Mrs. Yuan's behavior, it seems that she is willing to sacrifice anything in order to climb up, which is a bit scary.

If the Gu family and Concubine De lose power in the future, the fourth sister may also be sacrificed by the Yuan family.

This kind of instability and worry made Mrs. Yuan's behavior a bit hateful in the hearts of the Gu family. In fact, Mrs. Yuan is still Mrs. Yuan, she has always been like this. She has not changed.

It was the Gu family that looked at her differently.

"Your eldest aunt also said that at first she thought that the Yuan family was just a businessman, without so much intrigue. Sister Shan was pure and kind-hearted, so it was most suitable to marry her. Now your eldest aunt also feels a little regretful. If I had known this, she would have married Sister Shan.

To a down-and-out meritorious family,

Our family can do it, and it will be better for her. If it weren't for the child, we wouldn't know that Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Yuye still have such a cruel side. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart, now rice has become cooking. What can we do?

What to do?" Song Pan'er sighed.

No one can predict the future.

Just like when Gu Shanzhi married Yuan Yuye, even Gu Jinzhi thought she was a good match.

Nowadays, regret is of no use.

In the final analysis, it is up to you to decide how your life will turn out.

If Gu Shanzhi hadn't made a fuss about the marriage, the Yuan family might have always pampered her like a treasure and would never have any dispute of interest with her.

Or maybe she is smarter and uses the advantages of her natal family and the concubine De to devour the Yuan family to death, and the Gu family does not need to worry about her.

Therefore, it was Gu Shanzhi herself who finally reached the current situation.

In another life trajectory, she would not have this problem. She might also have other problems.

"It's because of the fourth sister's character," Gu Jinzhi said, "Marry her into a down-and-out meritorious family. She may cause other troubles, so she doesn't have to regret it."

Song Paner smiled.

Gu Jinzhi's words deeply touched her heart.

Seeing Song Pan'er smiling, Gu Jinzhi also laughed.

"Does the eldest aunt agree? Does the Yuan family not want that child?" Gu Jinzhi felt that it was impossible for the eldest lady to agree, so she still asked.

"How is it possible to agree?" Song Pan'er said with a smile, "The matter has come to this point. What's the use of harming both Tingfeng and the child? Keep the child and let Sister Shan see what stupid things she has done."

It always bothers her, maybe she will be smarter in the future."

Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope it can end here." Gu Jinzhi said, "What happened at Fourth Sister's family is very disturbing."

"It's really annoying." Song Pan'er smiled and said, "Your eldest aunt has a good heart. If it were me, I wouldn't pay attention to your fourth sister. The married daughter, the water thrown away..."

"Mom, will I be the water you throw away in the future?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

Song Pan'er stared angrily, poked Gu Jinzhi on the forehead, and said, "Why did you throw the water away? You are my mother's darling! If anyone treats you badly, my mother will fight him to the death."

Gu Jinzhi laughed.

Although the eldest lady did not agree with Mrs. Yuan's method of handling the marriage and the child, Tingfeng's child was still born two months later.

Tingfeng lost too much blood and almost died.

The Yuan family hired a doctor to save Tingfeng's life, but Tingfeng became crazy and said all day long that it was Gu Shanzhi who harmed her.

Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to send Tingfeng away.

Gu Shanzhi also cried like a tearful person.

Yuan Yuye was studying in the Imperial College, and he often stayed overnight at his classmates' homes instead of going home.

Gu Shanzhi cried pitifully.

Mrs. Yuan stayed with her and took care of her like a mother.

The eldest lady visited Gu Shanzhi several times. Gu Shanzhi was very thin.

"The eldest aunt will take you back to stay for a few days, and you can chat with your third sister-in-law." The eldest lady said, "You still have half a year of filial piety, and you can't serve Yuye."

The eldest lady thought that Gu Shanzhi would definitely not want to. She just saw that Gu Shanzhi was so thin and pitiful, and felt distressed, so she mentioned it casually.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shanzhi agreed.

Gu Yuezhi, who was resting at her parents' house, had not returned to the Tang family yet, and Gu Shanzhi also came back.

It is not a happy sight for two married girls to cultivate themselves in their parents' families.

But the eldest lady tried not to say anything sad, and just thought of ways to make them happy every day.

The eldest lady would occasionally pick up Gu Jinzhi's mother and daughter, and everyone would chat.

Gu Shanzhi lived in her natal family and rarely visited the second wife.

The second wife, on the other hand, came to Gu Shanzhi several times and accused her of not settling Tongfang, and then accusing her of not allowing Tongfang to have a baby, etc.

"You did everything yourself. Why are you so useless?" The second lady scolded Gu Shanzhi.

Gu Shanzhi cried in anger every time, and even contradicted the second lady.

After that, the second lady stopped going.

Gu Shanzhi and her third mistress, Mrs. Xia, are close friends.

Xia could talk again, and it was Xia who comforted Gu Shanzhi every time.

Gu Shanzhi went out of her way and never said anything about returning to the Yuan family, and lived quietly in the Gu family. She never mentioned Yuan Yuye, nor did she mention how Ting Feng's child disappeared.

The eldest lady didn't dare to ask.

Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er were invited to the old house. They also talked about some anecdotes and naturally did not bring up the topic of Gu Shanzhi's sadness.

During this period, the second cousin Gu Yuezhi also taught Gu Jinzhi how to make needlework, and the two sisters became somewhat affectionate.

In midsummer, the weather in Beijing is hot and the forest shadows are filled with smoke.

Let’s cool down together.

"If it weren't for Rexiao, we could go to the countryside to escape the summer heat." The eldest lady said with a smile.

But everyone has hot filial piety, so they can't go anywhere.

After July, it’s early autumn and August. The hot weather turns cooler.

Mrs. Yuan once again came to take Gu Shanzhi back to Yuan's house.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the family needs to reunite. The second cousin Gu Yuezhi also returned to the Tang family.

Gu Shanzhi hesitated for a moment, then followed Mrs. Yuan back.

From beginning to end, she never told her family about the Yuan family.

The eldest lady even asked the third grandma if Gu Shanzhi had mentioned anything: "...She refused to tell me. She didn't even mention it to you? Okay, how did Tingfeng's child disappear?"

"I didn't mention it," the third grandma said. "I tried to ask twice, but she started crying, and then she didn't dare to ask. This time she was willing to come back, because she must be a little disappointed with the Yuan family. Even so, she

She doesn't want to say anything bad about her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Auntie, the fourth sister has a deep affection for the Yuan family..."

The eldest lady sighed.

That's what she was afraid of.

After Tingfeng was born, Gu Shanzhi's problems returned to their original point.

I just don’t know if Gu Shanzhi has a new perspective on life...

Then, Mrs. Yu who was beside Gu Shanzhi sent a letter to the eldest lady, saying that there was nothing wrong with Gu Shanzhi and that she was still filial to her mother-in-law and considerate of her husband.

The Yuan family returned to peace.

But what kind of undercurrent is underneath the calmness? The eldest lady cannot control it.

She only hoped that Gu Shanzhi could live up to her expectations.

——*——*——

On August 15th, Buddha will arrive in a blink of an eye.

It’s the birthday of Gu Jinzhi and his two younger brothers again.

This time, she is fifteen years old.

This year she got her haircut, and her family couldn't do anything big because of filial piety, so Gu Jinzhi's ceremony was very simple.

The Queen Mother rewarded her with a hairpin, and her eldest aunt became the guest of honor.

There was no ritual music, no other guests, just the Gu family.

The eldest aunt recited the words "I will never forget the rest of my life", and finished the ceremony by tying Gu Jinzhi's hair.

In the afternoon, Gu Jinzhi received a birthday gift from Luzhou sent by Zhu Zhongjun.

The gift arrived yesterday. The Etiquette Department would check whether there was a secret message before sending it to the Gu family. After the Etiquette Department followed a set of procedures, the gift arrived a little late.

Zhu Zhongjun gave Gu Jinzhi a large box of jewelry.

They are all top quality, at least a dozen of them.

Gold, silver, pearls and jade, hairpin rings and bracelets, no one is the same.

Song Pan'er looked at it and laughed for a while: "Your Majesty is so generous."

"Poor and generous." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, thinking that Luzhou's guards and granaries were handed over to the imperial court for the expedition to Annan last year, and now the Luzhou Palace is just an empty frame.

Song Pan'er also laughed and asked someone to deliver the box of jewelry to Gu Jinzhi's yard.

Gu Jinzhi chatted with her mother for a few words and then went back to rest.

The next day, she went into the palace to thank the Queen Mother for the hairpin she had given her yesterday.

The Queen Mother smiled and asked her: "Have you seen the birthday gift the prince gave you?"

Gu Jinzhi said: "I saw it. Your Majesty gave me a lot..."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty loves you."

There was a bit of disappointment in her tone. She missed Zhu Zhongjun.

While the two were talking, Aunt Cheng walked in from outside.

The Queen Mother quickly asked her: "What's wrong?"

Aunt Cheng glanced at Gu Jinzhi.

The Queen Mother said: "It doesn't matter if you just say it."

"Your Majesty has woken up. He said he was a little hungry and ate a bowl of millet porridge. Several imperial doctors were waiting in front of him to serve him." Aunt Cheng said, "Master Peng said that he is no longer in trouble. He will take a few more doses of medicine to stabilize his condition."

get well."

The emperor is sick.

The emperor's body is related to the situation of the world.

Gu Jinzhi shouldn't ask too many questions.

She listened silently.

After listening to Aunt Cheng's words, the Queen Mother nodded, and then told Gu Jinzhi: "When the weather got cold a few days ago, Your Majesty had a cold, coughed for several days, and suddenly suffered from angina last night..."

Gu Jinzhi quickly asked: "Are you okay?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's fine now. I just had a fever for a while at dusk yesterday. Peng rushed over quickly and gave His Majesty an injection, and then everything was fine. Didn't I go to court this morning? I'm still eating now.

Medicine. You can go and see His Majesty later. Although Peng Ti has some good medical skills, the Ai family still believes in you the most. Since you are here, please stop by and have a look, so that the Ai family can feel at ease."

Gu Jin's way is.
