"You haven't slept in months?"

In the Marquis Anfeng Palace, the Lady Zeng had called Gu Heng for questioning. The mama in the second room told her that Gu Heng had been sleeping in his study for the past few days and it had been a long time since he had returned to the main room to sleep.

Gu Heng did not seem to mind, "Mother, how old am I? Can you not ask about the matters in the room?"

"It has grown wings!" Lady Zeng was furious, "How old are you? You don't even have a direct son, how can you ignore your mother!"

When Gu Heng heard this, he felt a little impatient, "I have been taking care of her body the entire time, how can you not know what her situation is? If I go, it would be a simple quarrel, furthermore she is not in a good condition, so let's just leave the matter of the child to fate."

"Depends on fate? What fate! " The Lady Zeng was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, "You are clearly fine, in a few years you will be delayed in everything. The one in your study, if you like it, you can bring it into the room.

"Mother!" Gu Heng was extremely annoyed, "Stop slandering her, she is just a servant in her room. If I wanted to touch her, would I still have to wait until today? "Alright, you don't have to worry about what happens in my room. I know what I'm doing!"

Lady Zeng ignored him, continuing to talk to himself, "Did you take a fancy to some girl? "Tell mother, mother will go and give it to you .."

"Mother!" Gu Heng was completely enraged, "What are you saying? I have a wife in my room, do you want her to marry me? What do you think of our Marquis Mansion and face? Who is willing to send a fine young miss in as a concubine! "

Gu Heng immediately regretted his words, he was so angry that he became confused, causing Lady Zeng's eyes to immediately light up, "That's right, Mother already knew that, from the start, you do not like the one in your room, but no matter what, you should first accept a few people to be at ease, because being empty like this is not really a solution."

"Didn't you see the matter of the fifth brother in the Xie Clan last time? There are only two brothers in the clan, and now one of them is crippled, and the other one is of average aptitude, so what use does Old Master Xie have? There isn't a proper heir in the family, you can see how important a son is, it doesn't matter where he gives birth to two.

The more Lady Zeng spoke, the more disfigured she became. When Gu Heng heard the end, he simply flung his sleeves and left. He had no other choice but to sigh. When it came to marriage, Lady Zeng remembered that her master had told her about Gu Yun a few days ago. She had delayed it for a long time and had almost forgotten everything.

Although Lady Zeng was unwilling, she still had to consider her stepmother's face. Thus, early the next morning, Lady Zeng prepared some gifts and went to visit the Xie Clan.

Lady Xu was stunned when she heard about Lady Zeng coming over, "Marquis' Wife came by himself? Second Miss didn't come? "

Nanny Feng said: "Only Marquis' Wife came. The two ladies never came, and Marquis' Wife also brought something with him. He said that he is here to see Nan and the Third Miss."

"Look at the two of them?" Lady Xu felt it was funny. She thought that since the two of them had almost recovered, it was rare for them to come and visit. "Quickly invite her in."

Lady Zeng walked in and greeted them, "Yo, my wife is here. It's rare for you to come here, what are you bringing? We welcome you too late."

Lady Zeng pulled Lady Xu by the hand, "Our family has been talking too much, let's not talk about this. A while ago, the elder had already heard that big brother in the family had gotten into trouble, and was afraid that it would cause trouble for the family. Since you were alone with your family, and your two children were worried for you, he did not have the face to bother you, it was only when he heard that everything was good did he come to visit."

"Hey, you're serious." The Lady Xu sighed, "It's a pity that we, the Nan, are awake, but we can't walk fast enough. We get angry all the time in bed, it's not easy to take care of him."

"My condolences, it's a pity that he's a good child. He's still young, it's still possible for him to not be able to lie down. That child is sensible and understanding the general picture.

"Jingwan sprained his leg, Imperial Physician Pei is a righteous person, but she is young, so she can recover quickly, and there are no major problems, please take care of her."

The two of them chatted for a long time, but Lady Xu did not understand the reason for Lady Zeng's visit. Lady Zeng opened her mouth a few times, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.

"The Fourth Brother in your household has reached the age of marriage, do you have me?"

"Say, Jingyu, he's still young, he's currently in the midst of studying, and his father wants to marry him a few years later. At least, we can talk about it after the country test, since marriage will distract us, so we can't rush it, we have to wait for Third Young Madam to leave home, and then take his turn."

"Oh? Eldest Miss is demure, Third Sister is obedient and sensible, and I was even joking with Marquis before. I said how great it would be if they all married into her family to be our daughter-in-law, and Marquis even laughed at me, blaming me for not having so many sons, or else I was determined to be shameless, and came to find them. "

The Xu family's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Zeng family wanted to bring Third Sister into the family? "She was not sure, so she tried saying," "That's good, but Master told me about Third Sis a few days ago, so we should get married. But I was greedy and wanted to keep my youngest daughter for a few more years, so I couldn't make up my mind about it.

Lady Xu's words made it clear that Old Master Xie had set her eyes on Third Miss's marriage, at least she did not plan to casually marry, and when Lady Zeng heard this, she felt even more embarrassed to speak, Gu Yun's appearance, wasn't it obvious that she was looking for shame? No matter how she thought about it, Lady Zeng would always feel that it was not worth it to sell her old face for this, thus after grumbling for a long time, she still did not speak.

After Lady Zeng left, Lady Xu was puzzled, "Tell me, why did Marquis' Wife come here?"

The Nanny Feng was also confused, "I can't say. I keep having the feeling that she was beating around the bush asking about Third Miss's marriage, could it be that she wanted to be a matchmaker?"

Lady Xu nodded her head, "I was thinking the same way, maybe it was because of her second master, since she didn't bring Second Miss here today, it must be because she was afraid that she would think too much into it. She hesitated and did not speak for a long time, it must be too embarrassing, but after hearing that Master was concerned about Third Sister, she is even more embarrassed to bring it up."

"This .." Nanny Feng thought for a while, not knowing how to reply, "Master probably won't agree."

"Yeah." Lady Xu also sighed, "If it wasn't for Master stopping me, what a suitable marriage. Third Sister is my daughter, and I can cheat her too.

naturally knew about the visit that the Lady Zeng had made to the Xie Clan. She didn't know what she had said to the Lady Xu, but she had a feeling that it was related to him, or perhaps she was just fine.

Xie Jingxi's heart was in disarray, but he did not display it, and continued to read from a miscellaneous book. These days, her legs were not good, so he might as well stay in his room, read and raise flowers, and occasionally go to the Lady Xu to sit. Ever since the Aunt Zhao was scolded by Xie Cen, he was rather obedient, at least the few months in the palace was relatively safe.

Ming Yu was bored out of her mind. In the blink of an eye, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, which signified that winter was not far away.

"I really miss those days in the south. I wonder how the Old Madem is doing, I still haven't replied to the letter I sent a few days ago, I don't know what happened to him."

Xie Jingxi was also a bit worried, as soon as winter arrived, the old lady's cough and asthma would start acting up once more. She did not know how to send the snake gall wine that she made a few days ago to her, "Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it is the season when seafood is at its peak. Seeing as it is about to close in the winter, the river traffic will naturally become tight, as there are many merchant boats and fishing channels that cannot be easily moved.

"Alas, if I were a pigeon, I would never fly in the winter, I would just hide under the stove and not go anywhere."

"Puff .." Xie Jingxi laughed, "That's great, I'll raise a few more like you. In the winter, you can just wait to eat the roasted milk pigeons."

"Humph!" Ming Yu turned her head and ignored Xie Jingxi.

"Sigh, but speaking of this, why haven't I heard any movements from Young Master Marquis Mansion recently?" Ming Yu suddenly thought of Gu Yun, and about a while back when she was always running errands for Xie Jingxi, and got to know Zhao Zhang well, and even remembered the sickly son of his family, "It is said that his disease is the most common one to cause in winter, don't say that she can't endure it, since I feel that he is more pampered than the flowers outside, and might end up thanking you anytime."

Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard Ming Yu's words. Although what she said made sense, it didn't seem right to curse him like this. Speaking of which, ever since he saved her last time, she hadn't heard any more from him.

At this time, Gu Yun, who was far away in Jiangnan, mysteriously sneezed, scaring Zhao Zhang to death, "Master, don't think that you're feeling cold, this is not a joke, just wait until this round is over, you can stay in the south side, there is nothing important that can be done, King Jin will not blame you, anyway they know that you'll stay in the south side when winter comes."

Gu Yun waved his hand nonchalantly, he could not really describe his feelings, as if someone was talking about him, "As for those who make such a big fuss, do you really think I'm made of paper?"

After he finished this trip, the money he got from marrying off his wife should already be available. Before his wife obtains it, he will return to the capital no matter what, and no one knows if his girl's legs are better or not. With Imperial Physician Pei here, she should be fine.

"Hey, Zhao Zhang, did you bring the bottle of Falling Damage Medicine that I gave you earlier?"
