Because it was her first time being born, it was exceptionally difficult for her. But luckily, the mother and daughter were still alive, and Imperial Consort Shen's body had suffered a huge loss, causing her to feel extremely grateful. His Majesty acted as a show of gratitude by transferring her brother into the capital, which could be said to be a huge gift.

The Shen Family had not only held the southwest region in their hands, they had also dabbled in the capital's defense. Once they grew and expanded, the entire northern border, as well as the northwest, would become the domain of the Shen Family. If the Second Prince were to succeed in the future, it was unknown what the nature of the Great Chen would be.

At the same time, the Southern Ocean started to stir up trouble again. His Majesty ordered the General Sheng to leave the capital urgently, and before they left, Xie Jingxi went to Sheng Luan's small courtyard.

Gu Wan had lived here for two or three months, so shsheonly came over occasionally to accompany her, but he didn't know how she had been by herself for so long. When she saw Xie Jingxi, he threw herself over and cried.

Gu Wan had cried enough, and looked at her, "Bawow, I'm going with Sheng Luan to the Southern Sea."

Xie Jingxi was shocked, "Have you thought this through?"

Gu Wan nodded her head resolutely, "Jingwan, I know you are saying this for my own good, but you also know that I am different from other girls, I never want to live a life circling the backyard. After running out from my home, I had already thought about it carefully, I want to follow Sheng Luan to the battlefield.

Xie Jingxi being able to hide in the capital like this was not an option, returning to the Marquis Mansion was her fate to be forced to marry. Furthermore, since she and Sheng Luan had the same intentions, she could not always be separated by everything, and with Sheng Luan here, it should not cause her to suffer.

"You are not a child anymore. Since you are able to take responsibility for yourself, your big brother and I will respect you as well. However, you must take care of yourself and not be too willful in the face of matters.

Gu Wan pouted her lips: "I got it, Sheng Luan has been giving me orders all day, my ears are about to get cocooned, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."

"That's good. Have you prepared everything? Do you want me to bring some from the Marquis Mansion? "

Gu Wan shook her head, "I don't need the things at home.

Xie Jingxi stuffed a few pieces of silver into her hands, "It's fine if you don't have anything else, but it's not wrong to bring more silver. After all, you can't just eat Sheng Luan right now, when you're there, send me a letter and I'll send people over to send it to you regularly."

"Jingwan, sister-in-law …" Gu Wan hugged her and cried, "You're the one who treats me the best in this world, and my big brother. You have to take good care of him, and the ones I'm worried about the most are you two …"

"What's there to be worried about? It's fine as long as you and Sheng Luan have a good time, when I have time, I'll come and see you. When you want to marry me, I'll have to go and send you my dowry."

"Pei, who wants to marry him!"

"Why did you follow them if you don't want to marry them?"

"You're annoying! There's not a single word of it yet. "

Xie Jingxi laughed and did not speak, after giving her a few more instructions, she returned to her Marquis Mansion. The weather was getting warmer recently, so Gu Yun was already able to occasionally walk out of the courtyard.

"The sun is about to set, why aren't you going in?" When Xie Jingxi returned, he saw that someone was still basking in the sunset and frowned.

Gu Yun was enveloped by the dark red setting sun, and extended a hand towards Xie Jingxi, "If you don't come to help me, you won't be able to get up."

Xie Jingxi laughed as she looked at him, this fellow had become even more sticking to her, refusing to eat even after getting away from her. She walked over and held his hand, "Then we shouldn't wait until now, I'll punish you to not eat at night."

Gu Yun's hand suddenly exerted force, and Xie Jingxi was pulled into his embrace. Xie Bakuai, who was squatting on the ground, immediately ran away with a cry. Xie Jingxi also screamed in fear, "Are you trying to bend the chair over?!"

Gu Yun chuckled on top of her head, "If it's bent, then it's bent. Why would I be afraid of you?"

"You're so annoying, the courtyard is full of people, hurry up and let me go!"

"Who dares to look, eh?"

Just as they were talking, Fang Yu brought some tea out of the house, saw the situation in the courtyard and retreated, stopping Ming Yu who was about to go out, "Let's go out later."

"Hmm? "What's wrong?" Ming Yu was confused.

What else could they do? The couple openly loved to flirt and avoid suspicion.

Gu Yun asked: "When I was in the job before, did you miss me even when you were at home?"

She was a very busy person, so she naturally couldn't care about when she was busy. When she was free, she would sometimes think about it.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I missed you."

Gu Yun tapped her forehead. When she was not here, there was no shame in his heart.

Xie Jingxi lightly hammered him, "It's not serious again, I'm going out for a while, am I not back here? Oh right, Wan'er is going to follow Sheng Luan to the south, I agree, I just don't know anything about them, do the people from Sheng Family know?"

"He probably doesn't know, but if he did, Sheng Luan's legs would have been broken long ago."

Xie Jingxi, "..."

Why did she feel that Wan'er had chosen a difficult path to walk on?

"Don't worry, ever since we were men, we will have to pay the price for our lives, at most, Sheng Luan will lose a leg, it won't trouble us Gu Wan."

As he walked back, he didn't know whether or not the Eighth Lord Xie had understood the meaning of breaking legs, but he immediately took three steps back in fright. He stuck out his tail and stretched out his front paws, looking at the two in weird postures.

Xie Jingxi chanced upon it by chance and was shocked, "You really shaved it's fur!"

Thanks to Lord Gu's two to three months of training, the effect of losing weight was little, so the Lord Gu had no choice but to execute the punishment himself. He shaved off the hair on the Eighth Lord's belly, and all he had to do was stand up and leave.

No wonder it had been lying on the ground ever since the fight started. It turned out that it was the type to be shy when it saw people. Now it was over. Eighth Lord wouldn't be able to maintain his dignified sitting posture for the time being.

"It's so ugly!" Xie Jingxi was angry and amused at the same time.

"Who told you not to come back? I can't hold it in when I'm bored. I think it's pretty good. At least it's thinner by half a circle."

It strongly requested that she should return to the villa to be Gu Sansi's companion. At the very least, it could bully Gu Sansi and not be bullied.

The facts proved that the Lord Gu already had something wrong with it.

"I think you won't be able to stay at home for much longer. Since Shen Rui came to the capital, your Imperial Court has become unstable, and you have many things to do during the new year. How can His Majesty ask you to hide away?"

"That's true." Gu Yun's fingers were wrapped around her hair, "Last time you told me that the Second Prince was afraid of a hidden disease?"

"En, that's right, I was just guessing. Don't tell me you want to say …"

If Second Prince had a hidden disease, what would Imperial Noble Consort Shen do? Since there were people who would openly probe him, it showed that there were people who suspected him. If this matter were to be known by His Majesty, then Imperial Noble Consort Shen's game of chess would completely disappear.

"Be careful when you enter the palace recently. Don't get caught up in anything."

"Speaking of entering the palace, when the little prince was at the full moon, I saw Imperial Consort Shen, and felt that she did not look too good. It looks like she did indeed suffer a great loss, the little prince is rather healthy."

Seeing the child, he knew that even if he was born a few days earlier, he would still be much bigger than the other children. Then, there must be something fishy going on with Imperial Consort Shen's Fetal Qi.

Not long after the Fourth Prince was born, the young royal grandson of the Former Crown Prince Palace suddenly became severely ill. When he heard that it was extremely dangerous, and he was almost unable to save him, it was said that he ate something unclean.

Was it all the work of the empress?

But it didn't seem like it. Since he had already made a move, why didn't he just make it a bit more thorough?

"Alright, it's already dark. Don't think about it anymore." Gu Yun carried her into the house, "Since Xi does not allow me to eat, then let's rest early."

"…"

He had been taken back by the detestable and cunning Lord Gu.

The two of them hadn't been together for more than half a year, which made them feel like they were getting married. Fortunately, Lord Gu had nothing to do at home, so they could sleep in bed the next day, but Xie Jingxi was in a rather miserable state. She hadn't accepted the favor in a long time, so the pain in her bed wasn't that much better than when they got married.

Gu Yun laughed softly as he rubbed her waist, "You really haven't made any progress at all. Have you read the books for nothing?"

Xie Jingxi really wanted to find something to block his mouth, who knew that he would be so unrestrained after being injured for just a few days, what use was there reading so many books?

The worst part was that later on, every time Xie Jingxi couldn't get out of bed, there would be something important.

Recently, there had been a lot of accidents at the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Right at this moment, Song Yanchen entered the capital.

Xie Jingxi went to the capital to meet Gu Yun and his wife. Xie Jingxi was going there, and coincidentally, it just so happened to be the case that today, so Gu Yun casually dragged her up to change his clothes.

The Right Shore Merchant Union Hall was located on the Southern Street of the Merchant Shop, which was very bustling, but it was not very close to the Marquis Mansion and Xie Jingxi would usually not come here.

"How do you know the people from the South Merchant Union? Wouldn't that lead to gossip? "

Gu Yun told her everything that had happened on the way here, "Don't worry, it's good for you to get to know each other, in the future, there might be a use for you."

Although he did not know what he was referring to in the future, Gu Yun had already arranged for it to have a deeper meaning, so Xie Jingxi had no choice but to focus fully on it.

"Wife, look out for the path under your feet. If you fall, you'll lose face." Gu Yun held her hand and passed the threshold. Just now, when he got off the car, his legs went soft and he almost fell down.

"Mrs. Gu is really nice." A woman around 30 years old walked out, smiling at the two of them who loved each other dearly, and behind her was a rather elegant man.

It was Song Yanchen and Madame Song.
