Rebirth of marriage

Although Xie Jiu got Xu Shan's hint that Gu Xiao was fine, he still felt uneasy.

As soon as there was movement outside the house, she got up.

Mother Wu was supported by the two men and raised her eyes to look at her, "Would you like to have breakfast with me?"

Xie Jiu took a look at her feet, which were fixed by wooden boards. They were indeed injured.

She nodded slightly, "Come in."

Aunt Wu didn't drag her injured leg to find her just for a simple breakfast. Their relationship was not good enough to have a meal together.

If you don't agree, you will definitely give Mother Wu a reason to cry in front of Gu Xiao, which will only cause trouble for Gu Xiao.

This is not her home either. She has no reason to refuse and can only take advantage of it.

After realizing that she seemed to be thinking about the 'mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issue', Xie Jiu felt a little relieved. She took the wet handkerchief from the maid's hand and pressed it on her face.

"Thank you, Miss. What's the matter with your hurry?" Nanny Wu asked as soon as she sat down.

Xie Jiu was slightly surprised.

She no longer deliberately calls her Mrs. Yang to humiliate her?

Aunt Wu still had a rigid look on her face, but the anger and disgust from last time were gone from her eyes.

Xie Jiu didn't believe that one person's attitude towards another person could change so quickly. She said vaguely, "I was passing by and heard that the prince was here, so I came over to take a look."

Her eyes turned to Grandma Wu's feet, "Are Grandma's feet feeling better?"

"It's better." Nanny Wu said, "I'm old and useless. I wanted to bring some pickles to be delivered to the prince, but I didn't pay attention to the slippery ground. I fell down and threw the pickles away. The vat was broken, and my vat of sour water was wasted."

She actually chatted with Xie Jiu about daily life, "Your Majesty often has a bad appetite, so he likes to eat the pickles I made. Unfortunately, when he came here, I made a jar of them. Now that he has seen the light of day, he will not be able to store them for a long time. You should try it too."

Thank you for the wine and wash up.

The maid has already placed the breakfast she brought on the table. In addition to rice porridge, steamed buns, and dumplings, there are also two plates of pickled side dishes.

Xie Jiu also saw it when he and Gu Xiao had dinner together in the palace. Gu Xiao would indeed pick up a chopstick from time to time. It turned out that it was made by Grandma Wu herself.

She picked up the porridge in front of her, took a sip, and put some side dishes into her mouth. It was sour and crunchy and very appetizing.

A good-looking person looks good no matter what she does. When she eats, she does not open her mouth slightly and move slowly like most ladies.

On the contrary, she ate a little hastily, as if in a hurry, but her movements were still elegant.

This is a habit that Xie Jiu developed after giving birth to a daughter in her previous life. Taking care of a sick child alone would not always leave much time for herself, so she ate very quickly.

But he was raised by the Xie family since he was a child. No matter how fast he speeds up, the quality deep in his bones is still there.

Mother Wu kept looking at her, as if she wanted to understand something.

Xie Jiu finished the porridge in front of him, put down the bowl and spoon, and looked at her, "Mommy, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

She was worried about Gu Xiao and had no intention of guessing the purpose of Nanny Wu's visit.

Aunt Wu also noticed it and sighed heavily, "I came to the prince as soon as he was born. For more than 20 years, taking care of him has become a habit of mine, just like eating and sleeping, it has become a part of my life.

When he got here, I was always worried about whether he would eat well, whether he would sleep well, whether those beasts would harm him again, and whether he would be happy. "

Hearing this, Xie Jiu somewhat understood what Nanny Wu meant, and she listened quietly without saying a word.

Aunt Wu said again, "I heard that you avenged the prince and caused Cao Gou and his son to suffer a lot. During the snowstorm, you contributed a lot and helped the prince out of trouble. You were also responsible for Mo Qi's child. Thank you."

She leaned forward to thank him for the wine and bowed seriously.

Xie Jiu was slightly surprised and stopped her.

Aunt Wu grabbed her hand and said, "Miss Xie, I actually have no ill intentions towards you, but I did have a bad or even bad attitude towards you before.

Even now, I still feel that you are not the most suitable person to accompany the prince. However, this time the prince came to see me, he actually smiled twice. "

Her eyes were red and she wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, "I don't even remember how many years he has been without such a natural smile. The look in his eyes told me that he was living a good life these days.

To be disrespectful, I treat him as my own child, wishing him well and not allowing any bad things to affect him, but the reality gave me a slap in the face.

You are right, what I think is good to him may not be really good to him.

In the past, I did not regret what the girl did, and I would not apologize to the girl. That was my protection for my prince, but in the future, my prince will ask the girl to take more care. "

Xie Jiu lowered his eyes and listened without saying a word.

Aunt Wu never quite understood Xie Jiu's temperament. When an ordinary woman hears her talk about this, she will definitely say some conciliatory words. After all, she is the prince's wet nurse, so it is not that she has no weight in his heart.

Only when Xie Jiu answered the conversation could she continue.

But she seemed to be in trance.

Aunt Wu had no choice but to tell her purpose directly, "Miss, can you tell the prince to let me return to the prince's palace?"

Xie Jiu then raised his eyes to look at her, "Mommy, if you have any ideas, you can tell the prince directly. If he has his own considerations, I will not embarrass him for you.

As far as I know, the prince has started repairing this villa a long time ago, and sending you here to be raised is not a temporary decision. "

Mother Wu didn't expect her refusal to be so direct, "I know that the prince is kind-hearted to let me live a comfortable old age, but I can't let him go, and the prince is used to my care.

At the moment, he is in love with you, but as time goes by, the love will fade. Then there is no guarantee that he will not think of me. Thinking that it was because of you that he sent away the wet nurse who raised him since childhood. There will inevitably be conflicts between you. A rift arises. "

"Mommy, they are mother and child. When the child grows up, he will have his own life." Xie Jiu said lightly, "Besides, do you think the prince is such a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Grandma Wu looked embarrassed for a moment.

It sounds like she is a wet nurse, but in fact she is just a slave.

She understood very well the prince's true intention of sending her here. Firstly, it was to repay her for her devotion to him over the years. Secondly, she had lost the sense of propriety as a slave and interfered too much in her master's affairs.

The conflict with Xie Jiu was just an opportunity, and she used this to scare Xie Jiu into interceding for her, but Xie Jiu bluntly exposed her.

No matter how embarrassed she was to say more, she couldn't say more, otherwise it would only anger the prince even more.

Xie Jiu watched quietly as Nanny Wu left with the group of people in embarrassment, frowning slightly.

Aunt Wu was sincere towards Gu Xiao, but she regarded Gu Xiao as her whole life and had a strong desire to possess him.

Gu Xiao doesn't have a clingy temper. He knows very well that even if he sends someone away from him, he can still retain a master-servant relationship. He doesn't have much friendship to begin with, and he doesn't want Nanny Wu to destroy that relationship.

This incident made no waves in Xie Jiu's mind. She sat quietly in front of the window, wanting to wait one more day to see if Gu Xiao would come back.

At the same time, Wuwei was sent back to find out whether Gu Xiao concealed the secret guard or the secret guard lied to her.

But during the waiting process, she was still uneasy, but Xu San refused to tell Gu Xiao where she was, and only reassured him that the prince was safe.

Suffering like this until the latter half of the night, Xie Jiu was a little depressed and fell asleep leaning on the bed. She had that dream again, and she jumped up from the bed in shock.

There was already a glimmer of light in the sky. She was going to ask Xu Shan about Gu Xiao's whereabouts. Otherwise, she would not be able to feel at ease.

Just as she stepped out of the yard, she saw someone running towards her.
