Chapter 313 Old Lady Gu Stroke (4)
"But what can I do? Second Aunt's seniority is on the table, she can't be beaten, she can't be scolded..." Murong Wenying said, her eyes turned red with anger.

"Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you now. I'll tell you the truth. Six years ago, as soon as the second aunt took over the power of the housekeeper, she began to deduct the food and clothing expenses of the two aunts, the second brother and the third sister. That time , the mother went to her to reason, but the old witch said that the mother was disobedient, and made the mother kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. Since then, the mother can only secretly take out money to supplement the two aunts and the second brother and the third sister. It won’t make them feel too wronged.”

Gu Qingmei asked puzzledly: "Hasn't your eldest brother ever shown up? As for his Hades temper, who is not afraid?"

Murong Wenying let out a sneer, "My elder brother's Hades temper can only be used outside, and it's useless at home. Otherwise, an unfilial excerpt will be played and let the emperor know, but he will be deprived of his title." qualified."

It was only now that Gu Qingmei knew that Murong Yu's life at home was no better than her own, and she couldn't help being a little bit ironic.

"Based on that, things are really tricky." She muttered to herself, thinking about what she should do to help her mother-in-law get back this place.

Murong Wenjing said timidly from the side: "Sister-in-law, you and elder brother are not living at home now, so please don't meddle in this matter, otherwise if you cause trouble, it will be my fault."

Gu Qingmei raised her hand and patted her head, "Don't worry, I won't get myself into trouble. Don't want this clothes if they're so torn. I'll send you some new ones later. Yes Yes, when I came to pay my respects to my grandmother today, I saw my third aunt and my cousins, so I also went to pay my respects to my grandmother, the cousins ​​are about the same age as you, but why don’t you usually see each other?”

This matter is what Gu Qingmei has always been puzzled about. Logically speaking, the third master and the eldest son are brothers of the same mother, so there is no reason for such a relationship.

It has been a month since she got married, but she has never seen anyone from the third aunt's side come to play with sister Ying and sister Jing, and she has never seen the third aunt come to visit the door to make daily routines, which is not bad at all. normal.

Even... except for occasionally meeting the third aunt and her children at the princess's side, she has never met anyone from the third room in the garden.

"Who knows what Third Aunt thinks?" Murong Wenying frowned. "The people in the third room never play with us. The third aunt said that the cousins ​​have to study, and the cousins ​​have to learn from female celebrities. They seem to be very busy."

"If they don't come, don't you and sister Jing go to visit?" Gu Qingmei asked with full of doubts.

For some reason, she just felt that the third aunt's family was weird.

It's a bit like the horror novels I read in my previous life, the kind of horror family living in an old castle, where terrible things can happen at any time.

Every time she met her by chance and passed by the third aunt's family, she felt this strange feeling.

Murong Wenying twitched the corners of her lips, showing an obviously unhappy expression, "Don't mention it, I don't know what the third aunt is thinking about, she is gloomy all day long. When I was young, Sister Jing and I went to visit her yard , but they didn’t even let us in, saying that we were noisy and would disturb my cousin’s study.”

"Oh?" Gu Qingmei showed a puzzled look thoughtfully. "Not even allowed to enter the courtyard door?"

This is totally unreasonable, right?
"That's not true." Murong Wenying said, wrinkling her cute little nose. "The third aunt is gloomy all day long, and she speaks in a strange way. She never walks with us. It's like living in a family of outsiders in the mansion."

"Maybe the third aunt is afraid that her children will come out and run around, so she will be bullied by sister Xia." Gu Qingmei suddenly changed the subject, stopped entangled in this issue, then stood up and said with a smile. "I still have something to do. I have to hurry home. Sister Ying, you must not cause trouble. Even if you see Sister Xia in the future, you have to pretend not to see her. Let's ignore her."

She has only been in the house for a month now, and she heard that her sister-in-law had fought with Murong Wenxia three times, all because of trivial matters, and she quarreled with Murong Wenxia at the slightest disagreement, but Murong Wenxia loved Telling unreasonable things makes this straight-tempered girl very angry every time.

She went back to the front yard, said goodbye to her mother-in-law, called Murong Yu who was sitting in the flower hall to talk with her mother-in-law, and took the carriage back to the General's Mansion together.

After returning home, the two of them washed up. Gu Qingmei sent out all the maids in the house, and then pulled Murong Yu to sit down beside the table, "I have something to ask you!"

He pinched her face habitually, "What's so mysterious? And kicked out all the little maids!"

"I just want to ask you, does Second Aunt have any private shop or Zhuangzi? It's only under her name."

Murong Yu felt that the question she asked was a bit strange, "Why are you asking about this?"

Gu Qingmei then told what happened today.

Murong Yu's expression sank immediately, with a gloomy face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Qingmei patted his face with a smile, "What's the big deal, is it worth your face?"

Murong Yu said embarrassingly: "I just think I'm quite useless, I can't even save my mother's face, and let the two aunts and younger siblings suffer such grievances."

"I'm not the same. Doing business outside is going smoothly, but when I face those family members, I'm helpless. I have to ask you to rescue me."

Gu Qingmei was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so she took his hand and looked at him firmly. "The two of us are already husband and wife, so it's better to complement each other. What I lack is an aura that can overwhelm others, but what you lack is a ghostly idea. Now you have almost solved my family's troubles for me. It's my turn to help you solve your troubles at home."

Murong Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Second Aunt seems to have a rice shop in the outer city, and she has [-] mu of land and a Zhuangzi near Yancheng."

"Okay, that's enough for me to know." Gu Qingmei raised her voice as she spoke. "Yun Shen!"

Yun Shen pushed the door open and walked in.

Gu Qingmei said: "Pass the rice!"

After a while, a few maidservants put out the food, simple four dishes and one soup, but it was full of color, fragrance and taste.

Now Shen Mingyao has become Gu Qingmei's exclusive chef, Gu Qingmei specially took the money and invited a chef from an outside restaurant to teach her how to cook at home, her skills are getting better and better.

The husband and wife ate and rested for a while, then Murong Yu went to work in his study. Now he is in charge of the construction of the city wall to protect the country at the border. Almost every day, there are urgent news from eight hundred miles. It's up to him to make up his mind.

Some border guards are not in the same faction as him, so they will make things difficult for him, some are more greedy for money, and think that he gives little money, some like beautiful women, and some have too few soldiers to draw people out .
