After exiting Zen Moon Temple, Gu Yun brought Xie Jingxi to the manor. A while ago, when he was still idling, Xie Jingxi suddenly remembered that Gu Yun's manor did not have a name, that was because Gu Yun used to live in the past.
But when he came today, he saw that the name was already hung on the door. Gu Yun held her hand all the way, sighed with emotion while looking at the words on the signboard: "Oh, it's suddenly grown, it's a good name." Xi gave him a home, gave them a good name, and grew up safe and sound. From then on, the feeling of stepping into this place was different.
"Did you write it?" Xie Jingxi's eyes were filled with laughter, "I never expected you to be so fast, I only mentioned this sentence, and did not think it through, but looking at it this way, it is pretty good."
However, the beautiful scenery was not that long, and the moment the two of them stepped into the Suddenness Garden gate, a huge unknown object immediately pounced towards Xie Jingxi, causing Gu Yun's mind to move, and he almost split this unknown object into two with a palm strike.
This unknown being was Gu Sansi who had already grown up.
In just a few months of effort, Gu Sansi had grown from the palm-sized little milk dog into a huge lump, and of course, its size was slightly worse than Xie Bakuai's. However, it was still quite scary that it would suddenly rush over like this, and with Gu Yun blocking its path, Gu Sansi did not manage to pounce on it. Instead, it fell to the ground and wagged its tail pitifully, yelling at Gu Yun while shaking it, looking like a perverted but weak bear.
Gu Sansi did not have Eighth Lord Xie's assurance and arrogance, but on the whole, he was successful in carrying on with his meat-dog cowardice. Even when it was trying to scare people off, it was instead turned into a fawning gesture, clearly filled with hostility towards Gu Yun, but he was afraid of not daring to move forward.
Why did it want to share its surname with him? He had never hugged it before. This father truly did not have any love for him.
Xie Jingxi was slightly shocked, but she quickly recognized that it was Gu Sansi. She was pleasantly surprised to find that it had grown up so much, "It has grown so much! I didn't recognize it for a moment. "
It's me, my dear mother! Come and hug me and let this stepfather go! Gu Sansi shook his tail with all his might, and told Xie Jingxi the monologue of his fanaticism, but the stepfather splashed a bucket of cold water on him.
"Don't let it get close to you in the future!" Gu Yun fearfully hugged Xie Jingxi, and fiercely glared at Gu Sansi, "I didn't scare you right? This guy is too reckless, if I wasn't here, she would definitely have moved your waist."
Xie Jingxi was not scared, but Master Gu was.
"It's not that serious, my stomach hasn't fully recovered yet. Wait until seven or eight months later, won't you find a rope to tie me up?"
He thought so.
In the end, Gu Sansi was still unable to get close to Xie Jingxi, and could only pitifully follow behind him. Furthermore, he was occasionally rolled up in the eyes of his stepfather.
After a few months, the medicinal garden behind Old Man Ji was already quite small. The old lady was still sunbathing at the side, and the way he looked at Old Man Ji was still polite and unfriendly, but after staying here for so long, he hadn't come to talk to Old Man Ji and Mother Chen, so the old lady's feeling was content and helpless. He also felt that this place was comfortable, but also felt that the Old Man Ji was an eyesore, filled with contradictions and pleasures.
Seeing Xie Jingxi over, the excitement she felt was not inferior to Gu Sansi, it was just that she did not want to rush over due to her identity, but she was happy to welcome him personally. Old Madem had good eyesight, seeing that Gu Yun had brought her over, he knew that her big granddaughter must have a body.
"Does our Jingwan have good news?"
Is it really so obvious? She can see for herself, it's only a little bit bigger, but Gu Yun was unable to see it. On the contrary, she feels that she's even thinner than before, and after wearing her clothes, it's even harder to see, "Grandmother can actually see it? Not even two months have passed, and I still want to give you a surprise. "
The old lady had lived for most of her life, so how could she not be able to see through it? She smiled at her granddaughter and said, "How could you not see through it? I have seen your figure from afar."
"I have a great-grandson!" Old Man Ji appeared out of nowhere, his feet were still stepping on the mud, "Come quickly, let me take a look!"
This time, not only Gu Yun blocked, the Old Granny also blocked in front of Xie Jingxi. With the two of them blocking each other, the Old Man Ji was instantly ten feet away.
"Hey, hey, what are you guys doing!? That's my great-grandson, get out of my way! "
Xie Jingxi burst out laughing, "Grandfather is right, I am not here to invite you to have a look. Imperial Physician Pei said that this pregnancy is not stable, and I have been worried about it."
Hearing what she said, the old lady immediately became anxious, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly ask your grandfather to take a look, nothing can happen to my great-grandson."
The Old Man Ji snorted, "You guys are acting like thieves, can't I do it? If it wasn't for the fact that my Grandson's Wife knows how to speak, forget it, I won't lower myself to the same level as you, hmph!"
Old Man Ji walked over with his head held high, "Grandson's Wife, come and sit down. Grandfather will show you everything, it's no big deal.
Gu Yun glared at him snappily. He really couldn't understand who the hell was this blabbering blabbermouth was, it was obvious that he didn't even talk much with his mother, so he definitely shouldn't pass it down to his daughter.
Old Man Ji only had a few moments before he stopped, "It's fine, that's fine. Don't listen to those with the surname Pei to scare you.
As a junior, Pei Zixi had been living in the noble circle all year round, so it was natural that he would take care of things like this. Although he knew that the Old Man Ji had the ability to set everyone at ease, Xie Jingxi still heaved a sigh of relief, because the Old Man Ji had said that it would not be a problem if it was fine.
"Are you serious?" The old lady asked worriedly, "Production is a top priority, you have to be careful not to make my granddaughter suffer."
"I don't believe you." Old Man Ji snorted, "Old granny, do you still not know my standards? Do you know who cured your old illness? If you want to be grateful, then so be it?"
The old lady's face was filled with black lines, Xie Jingxi and Gu Yun could not help but laugh out loud. The old lady had nothing to say, because the other party had indeed cured her of her Regeneration.
When the two of them arrived, the entire house was filled with happiness. They were busy with killing fish and slaughtering chickens, Xie Jingxi accompanied her grandmother and walked around the courtyard to chat, while Gu Yun and Old Man Ji bickered in the medicinal garden.
"Hey geezer, why aren't you hanging around outside these days?"
In the past, the entire Old Man Ji was just a prodigal son, who would stay outside for three to five years without a letter from him. This year or two, however, he would obediently stay in his little courtyard, looking like he was about to retire to the capital.
The Old Man Ji glanced at him, "What are you doing, you little bastard? You are going to kick me out just like that, are you waiting for me to die outside? I am already this old, why aren't you waiting for me to die?"
Gu Yun did not buy his trick, "If you were to wait for your death, you would not find the capital city to wait. My grandmother and the elders will not bury her here."
Old Man Ji wanted to beat him up with anger and shame, "I want to be happy, what can you do about it? What's more, if it wasn't for me, you brat would have died eight hundred times already.
On one hand, it was because of the age of the Old Man Ji and on the other hand, it was also because of Gu Yun's body, because according to Old Man Ji's previous prediction, he would only be able to live thirty-four years at most, and that was under the premise that the Old Man Ji would not die. After that, it would all depend on fate, and there would always be places that manpower could not reach.
Gu Yun curled his lips, obviously not putting this matter to heart, and then asked: "How exactly did my mother go about that year, you don't need to bring secrets into the grave, right?"
Old Man Ji immediately glared at Gu Yun like a bird whose hair had been fried, "Are you here to look for trouble today? I said I didn't like to talk about that stupid thing. If you want to know, go investigate it yourself, and don't tell me about the old sesame seed in your Marquis Mansion from now on. I don't want to hear it! "
Back then, when his daughter and Marquis were on good terms, Old Man Ji was so angry that he almost went up to his room to tear him apart and even imprisoned him. However, fate was a thing that loved to joke with people, and the more you hated it, the more you would meet with it. In the end, Old Man Ji was not able to resist fate and married the Lady Ji into his Marquis Mansion, and never returned to the capital until Gu Yun was born.
In truth, Old Man Ji once wanted to bring Gu Yun out of the Marquis Mansion and raise him on his own. It could also be considered a coincidence that he met Gu Yun being poisoned later on, because he almost left the capital once more, and it could also be considered as Gu Yun's fate. However, from then on, the Old Man Ji never mentioned anything about the Marquis Mansion and Lady Ji again.
All of the information that Gu Yun obtained about the Lady Ji was investigated by himself, including some clues that Xie Jingxi was currently investigating. As the two boxes were stuck together, Gu Yun became more and more suspicious of the Lady Ji's death, and adding to that the palace's miscellaneous questions, the Old Man Ji must have played a crucial role in this.
However, the Old Man Ji kept on blabbering nonstop, and did not speak the truth with Gu Yun. Gu Yun was one thing, but he was afraid that the Old Man Ji would not notice, and fall into some danger without him knowing. If that happened, their situation would definitely become passive.
