Gu Shixu brought the gifts he bought from the county town and pulled Li Xiaonuan with a gentle smile on his face into the door of Li's house.

When he saw the third brother Li Xiaonuan, a spring-like smile appeared on his face, as if there was no bad blood between the two families.

Although Li Xiaonuan's third brother was also a little unhappy, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he received him in a gentle manner.

Sheng Qingtang looked at the water mirror in the space and couldn't help but sigh, "Awesome! Are all you scholars like this, decent? Even if the other party has a grudge, you are so decent?"

Gu Yanli smiled and nodded her forehead, "Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, the ultimate goal is to bring goods to the emperor's family."

"The most important thing about being an official in the same dynasty is not to make enemies easily. After all, there is an old saying that only a thief can make a thief a thousand miles away, and there is no one who can guard against a thief in a thousand days."

"If you make enemies easily, you won't get far, so most ambitious people are not willing to make enemies easily. Finally, the most important point is that even if you make enemies, you must greet them with a smile and not expose your weaknesses to others. In front of people.”

Sheng Qingtang nodded. She also knew something about these things. After all, in her previous life, she also focused on being friendly and making money when doing business, but she would not give face to those who bullied her face.

After all, officialdom is more about appearance than shopping malls.

When Li Xiaonuan entered the front door of his house, he handed Gu Shixu over to his third brother, and he went directly into his sister-in-law's room.

After all, she was young, and it was the first time she had done such an immoral thing. She was still a little scared, and the "dong dong" knock on the door became much quieter.

Sister-in-law Li opened the door and saw her sister-in-law pretending to be calm. She felt helpless and directly took her into the house.

After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention, she closed the door.

When Li Xiaonuan entered the house, she quickly poured herself a glass of water. Just like before, she did not regard herself as an outsider.

She calmed down after drinking a large glass of water. She couldn't wait and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, has the medicine I asked for been prepared?"

Sister-in-law Li didn't speak, but kept staring at her.

Li Xiaonuan was a little uneasy being stared at, holding the water glass tightly in her hand, "Sister-in-law? What are you looking at?"

Sister-in-law Li didn't say anything but found a packet of medicinal powder from the mezzanine of her dressing table. Li Xiaonuan stretched out her hand to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li put her hands behind her back.

Li Xiaonuan was a little anxious, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean if you don't give me this medicine?"

Sister-in-law Li sighed again, thinking that she might have sighed all her life's anger in the past few days.

"Xiao Nuan, are you serious? Have you thought clearly? That's your husband!"

As the heroine, Li Xiaonuan is naturally not stupid, "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. You are afraid that I will regret it if I want to have a child in the future, right?"

"Since you understand, you should know how risky this kind of thing is. As a woman, being childless in your husband's family is the original sin."

"The Gu family is not a good family. It's normal for you to have no children for one year. If you have no children for two years, the Gu family will definitely have a problem. If you have no children for three years, the Gu family will probably be turned upside down."

"Your life will be more difficult, and there will be more unpleasant words waiting for you."

Sister-in-law Li always had a good impression of her sister-in-law because she didn't like men taking concubines and asked her brother to do so. Later, she found out that her sister-in-law was not only lucky, but also cared deeply about her family.

Especially her sister-in-law who is married outside, she has never made any trouble.

Therefore, she sincerely hopes that Xiaonuan can find happiness, and not to ruin her lifelong happiness because of a momentary impulse. "Sister-in-law, I have thought about it clearly. As it is now, life may not be easy even if I have both children."

Sister-in-law Li frowned, "I think Gu Shixu is quite good and has a good temper. Why? How come you have come to this point?"

"Ha," Li Xiaonuan said with sarcasm on his face, "Sister-in-law, when I was studying in the past, I didn't understand why in this world there is a saying like a person knowing whether he is warm or cold when drinking water, but now I have a deep understanding of it myself."

"He is indeed a gentleman in front of outsiders, and he is perfect in front of everyone, except for me," Li Xiaonuan choked up as he spoke, "Only for me, he is not sincere."

"Now you think I must be living a good life. My husband is a scholar and has not yet reached his prime. I have a promising future."

"But from the moment I married into the Gu family, I was unhappy and lived in the shadow all the time."

"Sister-in-law, you must not know that I envy Gu Shixu's sister-in-law very much."

Sheng Qingtang ate grapes, sat on the recliner and raised his eyebrows, "Envy me?"

What envy her?

"I envy her that she can live like the scorching sun. She can cry whenever she wants and laugh whenever she wants. She doesn't have to look at anyone's face, and more importantly, she doesn't have to look at that old immortal face."

"In the Gu family, she is the boss. Apart from these, what I envy the most is that she has a husband who can always put her first."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaonuan smiled miserably, with tears in her smile, like a peony soaked in water, weak and charming, "Gu Shixu will always say to me, when my mother is old, you should let her go."

"And Gu Yanli will always find reasons for Sheng Qingtang, find a suitable reason for what she does, and help her get over it."

She wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her sleeves, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that although my eldest brother has a cold face and a weak body, he can stand up and fight against the whole family for my sister-in-law, and he is not afraid at all. Destroy your own reputation.”

"Don't he want to take the imperial examination?"

After finishing speaking, she shook her head and gave herself a negative answer, "No, he must also think about it, but in his heart, the most important thing is his sister-in-law, not the so-called good reputation, nor the illusory imperial examination in the future."

"But what about me?"

Li Xiaonuan feels that she is really pathetic now.

At first she thought she was marrying the right man, the right man of her dreams.

Love each other!

Who knew that it was just wishful thinking? Gu Shixu had never taken her seriously. He only married her because he was the most suitable one and because his family was indeed getting better and better.

This marriage was a mistake from the beginning, a calculation.

"What Gu Shixu cares about most is himself, followed by his future, then his mother, and then the glory of the Gu family. I don't know where I rank. How ironic that we are sleeping together. The person on the bed."

"Now, I don't think about anything anymore. It's all bullshit about being a good man. I only know that I'm having a hard time now, and I'm being pressed on the head to apologize."

"I'm having a hard time, and Gu Shixu also wants to accompany me. On the night of the wedding, he said that we are husband and wife. We are one body, sharing blessings and facing difficulties together. Now I help him."

Sheng Qingtang looked at the picture on the crystal and didn't know what to say for a moment. The hero and heroine's journey in this life has really changed a lot.

They had only been married for a few days, but they had reached the stage of falling in love and killing each other, and they had no intention of showing mercy at all. (End of chapter)
