Eighteen years of Zhenhe.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival was just over. The big red lanterns in the Nanyang Marquis’ Mansion were still hanging high everywhere in the mansion, and the air was filled with a festive atmosphere of the New Year.

But Ruan Mi leaned against the soft couch and looked out the window, but she was filled with joy.

Outside is a gray sky, with bare green trees inside, and a bleak and lush scene, just like Ruan Mi’s mood at this moment.

The eldest maid Dongqing took a thin quilt to cover Ruan Mi, then went up to close the window, then turned around and advised her softly: "Mrs., here is the wind here. You are not in good health, so it's better not to blow the wind. Moreover, you have been nightmares these days and have not been able to sleep well all night. Why not go to the bedroom and sleep for a while, right?"

Ruan Mi said "um", but her body didn't move at all.

Seeing her like this, Dongqing couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a moment, he still whispered: "Mrs. Young Master, don't worry too much. Young Master has good kung fu and the people around him are also very good at it. Even if he goes to the battlefield, there will be no trouble."

Dongqing is talking about Ruan Mi’s husband, Gu Yunxuan, the second son of the Marquis of Nanyang.

In late May of the previous year, several small countries in the Western Regions suddenly attacked the Greater Surrounding Border. The war broke out suddenly. The Western Xinjiang was inadequate in defense and retreated step by step. Several cities had been lost. The emperor was furious. The capital had already allocated troops and food several times to support the Western Xinjiang. This time, the troops were dispatched again, and Gu Yunxuan was among them.

During these days, Ruan Mi was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. Dongqing thought that Ruan Mi was worried that Gu Yunxuan would be in danger on the battlefield, so she would think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Ruan Mi looked up at Dongqing and smiled slightly in her heart.

Of course he won’t have any trouble. He will make countless military achievements and return with great significance!

But when he returned, her corpse had probably turned into ashes.

So of course she wasn't worried about him.

"Mrs. The third girl is here. Do you want her to come and talk to you?"

Dongqing was persuading Ruan Mi, and another little maid outside came in with a curtain, and calmed her breath and told Ruan Mi.

The third girl?

Ruan Mi raised her eyebrows.

The third girl mentioned by the little maid is Ruan Mi's sister-in-law. Gu Rou, the third girl from the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, is thirteen years old this year.

Although Ruan Mi is the wife of a concubine and is actually apart from this sister-in-law, since she got married, these three girls have particularly liked to get close to Ruan Mi. They like to play Ruan Mi’s room when they have anything to do. The reasons are also varied. For example, Gu Yunxuan is often not at home. She is afraid that Ruan Mi will be lonely, so she comes to talk to Ruan Mi, learns painting with Ruan Mi, learns to study and write, and even learns to settle accounts. She also likes to make various desserts for Ruan Mi to taste.

When Ruan Mi gave birth to his eldest son Gu Xuanling, Gu Rou became more and more diligent and liked what Ling Geer liked so much.

Compared to Ruan Mi, she was much colder to her serious sister-in-law Min, and she was simply ignoring the Min-child's children, which made Min-child quite complain.

Strangely, Gu Rou treats Ruan Mi like this, but Ruan Mi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Marquis, was happy to see her success and had no objection.

Of course, Zeng's wife, who was born in a business, loved Ruan Mi very much and never treated her hard.

Ruan Mi didn't understand why before.

However, after the "nightmare" that has been in recent days, she has realized something.

What nightmare?

It was not like what Dongqing did. She was worried about Gu Yunxuan and worried about something happening to him on the battlefield, so she thought about something on the day and dreamed about something at night.

Instead, he dreamed intermittently about what happened to him after he left the capital and went to Xijiang.

She was injured when she gave birth to Ling Ge'er. She dreamed that after he left, her body became weaker and more ill, and she was suffering from various illnesses. She finally passed away a year later.

But the matter did not come to an abrupt end after she died of illness. She still dreamed of the events that happened several years later.

She dreamed that after she passed away, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zeng, who had always loved her very much, had wiped tears in front of her mourning hall the moment before, and the next moment she returned to her room and showed a strange smile that she had never seen before.

Then he likes to pester himself the most in his daily life. The "Second Sister-in-law" is short and the soft and cute Gu Rou almost fainted when she was crying in front of her spirit, but in a blink of an eye he entered Zeng's room. After carefully locking the door, he threw himself into Zeng's arms. His smile was as bright as a flower, and he looked a little sad.

She saw Zeng touching Gu Rou's head and said softly: "Rou'er, I have been wronged by you in the past two years. I want you to flatter a business woman."

Gu Rou shook her head and said softly in her unique cute voice: "It's nothing wrong. It's thanks to her that I can get close to my second brother, so that I can also see me in my eyes."

As she said these words "It's her fault", she didn't know what she remembered, and she became a little unhappy again and pursed her lips.

Zeng seemed to be able to understand her daughter's face change. She hugged her and said slowly: "After all, my son was wronged. But Rou'er, this is what happened in this world. When you were young and your second brother's identity was not yet revealed, there was someone between you. If it weren't her, it would be someone else. In comparison, her identity is much easier to deal with."

As he said that, he shook his head and said, "It's because she has a poor life and can't stand the blessing. Otherwise, a side room will be her luck in the future. In fact, it would be better... Ling Ge'er can no longer occupy the position of the eldest son, and there is also a ready-made target for the outside world."

Gu Rou bit her lip.

Zeng knew that her daughter didn't like this, so she stopped her words, stroked her back, sighed, and said softly, "Okay, it's useless to say this. But Rou'er, she's dead now, but this matter is not over yet. In the future, my mother will persuade your father to keep Brother Ling in your room. You must love him well, even more than your biological mother, so that he will only be attached to you in the future. When your second brother comes back and his identity becomes clear, my mother will persuade your father to betroth you to your second brother."

Ruan Mi was shocked when she heard "a side room in the future... Ling Ge'er can no longer occupy the position of the eldest son". When she heard Zeng's later saying that Gu Rou would be betrothed to Gu Yunxuan, she was even more shocked.

This dream is too ridiculous!

Isn’t Gu Yunxuan Gu Rou’s second brother? How can he betrothed Gu Rou to him?

That day, Ruan Mi was awakened. After waking up, she was stunned for a while. When she recalled the conversation between Zeng and Gu Rou, she thought of those few words, "Your second brother's identity has not yet been made public", "When his identity is revealed",... She finally slowly woke up. If Zhenru said in her dream, Zeng and Gu Rou's thoughts were true, then Gu Yunxuan should not be the Gu family.

Seeing Zeng and Gu Rou so deliberately and spending several years trying to marry Gu Rou to Gu Yunxuan, he thought that his identity should be very noble.

It's no wonder that Gu Yunxuan is obviously the illegitimate son of the Gu family, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law have such an attitude towards him. Those who are cautious are somewhat respectful. Even if his husband is not at the mansion for more than 20 days in a month, he is extremely cold to the people in the mansion, and will not go to the Marquis of Nanyang and the Marquis of Hou to greet him or her, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law have no complaints about this.

Not only Gu Yunxuan, but also her concubine's wife, was treated specially for this.

For a moment, she remembered many details of the past.

For example, he never knelt down to worship his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and even never knelt down to worship his ancestors during the New Year... Even they got married in other places, so they were spared to kneel down to worship the high hall.

In fact, she had found many things strange before. At that time, she even vaguely guessed whether there was any hidden secrets in his husband's life, or that he was actually Mrs. Hou's parent-child, but he could not recognize him for some reason, so he felt very guilty towards him.

But no matter what, she married into the Marquis' Mansion, and her mother-in-law was generous and her sister-in-law's friendship was a rare blessing, so even if she was strange, she would press her suspicion to the bottom of her heart and not investigate it.

She slowly recalled Gu Rou and her relationship. She originally thought she was ordinary, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that many details could not stand the scrutiny at all.

For example, Gu Rou often "inadvertently" asks her about Gu Yunxuan's preferences and living habits, such as the small sachet embroidered table screen she gave to Gu Yunxuan by hand, and for example, she likes to rub her in her room and stick to her until Gu Yunxuan returns to the room before leaving...

But it turned out that he had long wanted to marry Gu Yunxuan?

A few days later, she dreamed about what happened later and even dreamed of Gu Yunxuan who was far away on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang.

Gu Yunxuan was wearing armor and became more and more handsome, but he was gone as if he was a playboy when he was in the capital. He was cold and cold, just like his sword, sharp and unblocked. Perhaps because of the black armor, his momentum was almost impossible to look directly at.

He and an old man rode side by side on horseback.

The old man said, "Yunxuan, why did you marry a business woman? Although you don't have to regard her as your wife when you are revealed in the future, you will never have to regard her as your wife, but you will eventually worship the world and will be demoted to your wife in the future. It will never sound nice... and even if you are a lateral room, her identity is lower."

He surrendered his wife to the side.

When Ruan Mi heard this, her hair immediately stood up!

It turned out that everyone believed that she could only be Gu Yunxuan's side room in the future!

What kind of side room is just a concubine!

She was waiting for Gu Yunxuan's answer.

Then she heard him say, "Grandfather, you said that you don't have to regard her as your wife in the future. Then isn't her current status right now? If you really marry a concubine's son from the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion, you will be in a good position and difficult to deal with, and it may be more complicated."

Even in the dream, Ruan Mi could feel her anger of leaving, and it seemed that blood in her body suddenly surged up.

Bah, when she married Gu Yunxuan, it was Gu Yunxuan who was so arrogant that he went to Ruan's house and forced her to marry him... Cough, although she thought he had a good face at that time.

But it turns out they are all fake!

Not only are the people in the Gu family in Nanyang Hou Mansion all fake, but even Gu Yunxuan all fake!

No wonder he forced himself to marry him, but after getting married, except for being quite enthusiastic about that matter, he was like two people inside and outside, and he was not seen all day long. When he came back occasionally, he was very cold, and he looked like she was marrying him with a pole!

People say that merchants value interests, but merchants value interests, which is also clear and real. They are not as good as this noble family, and they are noble, gentle and kind, but they are cruel to their bones. They really eat people and don’t spit bones, making you think that you are just not blessed enough and cannot enjoy such good fortune!

Pooh!

Ruan Mi became more annoyed the more she thought about it.

She dreamed of such a big shock one after another, but she hadn't figured out what to do, and then there were another thunder last night.

Last night she dreamed of Gu Yunxuan again, dreaming that he finally returned from the Western Xinjiang after winning battles, dreaming that the imperial edict of reward came to the Marquis' Mansion, and the whole Marquis' Mansion was full of joy.

Then he didn't know what reward he received, so he quickly moved out of the Hou Mansion and opened a new mansion. He dreamed that Ling Ge'er was indeed very attached to Gu Rou. Gu Rou took advantage of Ling Ge'er to live in Gu Yunxuan's mansion, and then there were fragments of their getting along, as well as their wedding...

This is endless.

"Young lady."

After the little maid reported it, she couldn't wait for Ruan Mi's answer for a long time, and then repeated, "Mrs. Young lady, do you want the third girl to come in?"
