Chapter 573 Sir, Please Stay (35)
Three years later……
"Come here, Auntie!"
"Go play with your aunt!"
Li Jingshu watched Gu Yuxi teasing her son. The child walked over crookedly, unable to move at all with a potato in his hand.
"Aunt is coming to catch you."
"Hee hee hee!"
Holding a fat baby, Gu Yuxi wiped his saliva, but didn't expect to get it all over his face.
“Pfft, hahahaha, Xixi, your nephew likes you too much.”
"Sister-in-law, this kid has too much saliva and has a lot of rashes on his neck. I'll get some medicine powder to rub on him later."
"I don't know how long it will take your brother to come back from this bandit suppression. Fuxing is already very stable, and he is still going to other continents to risk his life. We are worried at home."
"Sister-in-law, my brother also wants everyone to live a peaceful and tranquil life. The prince has begun to supervise the government and other matters, so a stable environment is indispensable."
"I can't reason with you brothers and sisters, Xixi. If you were a man, you would definitely become a powerful person."
"It's a pity that I'm not a man, and I don't want to be a man."
Seeing that Gu Yuxi couldn't let go of her child, Li Jingshu felt sorry for this girl for a long time.
She has medical skills, a smart mind, and is proficient in women's arts...but she cannot marry or have her own children.
However, as a sister-in-law, she would not despise Gu Yuxi. According to the general, Xixi lacks nothing but a home, and we are all her family.
"Auntie guessed it was here."
The baby hid the beads in his hand on the other side. When Gu Yuxi opened his hand, he burst into laughter.
"Then guess where aunt hid the beads?"
"Xixi, why don't we go for a walk outside? It's boring to stay in the yard."
"Okay, Auntie will take the little baby to buy fun things."
The aunt and the sister-in-law took the child out of the house and walked on the street, but unexpectedly a woman said to the man at the door of the teahouse: "Master Deng, I am also a pure and innocent woman. How am I not worthy of you?"
"I already have someone I like, Miss Chen, please respect yourself."
"You and I have already had physical contact. You must marry me, or I will die in front of you."
"The Queen Mother's motorcade ran into trouble at that time. Was there anything wrong with me pulling you out of the ditch? Besides, you were pulling the stick, not me!"
"Why am I not worthy of you? At worst, I can be your equal wife with the person you like."
"I don't like you. I hate women wearing yellow clothes. They are too extravagant and an eyesore. I also hate them..." Deng Wenjie said everything about Cheng Jiaojiao was disgusting.
"You...you're going too far. Just wait. I look the most beautiful in yellow clothes. Why do you hate me?"
Chen Jiaojiao ran away angrily. The empress dowager of the time was her great-grandmother, and Deng Wenjie, a small disfigured county magistrate, was really going too far.
[Sister Xi, you were right not to restore Lady Jie's appearance completely, otherwise he would attract many women.]
[Heh, he said he was on a business trip, but I think he was going to have an affair.]
When they ran into Li Jingshu and others, Chen Jiaojiao yelled at Gu Yuxi who was holding the baby, "Don't think you can marry him just because you are close to him, a hen that can't lay eggs."
"Chen Jiaojiao, don't bite anyone you see. You are a dog."
"Oh, Princess Jingshu, the Queen Mother is currently at Fuxing Buddhist Temple praying for the people of Liming. Miss Gu is very suitable for practicing with her hair uncut."
"Say that again and I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Come on, you're still a shrew even after you get married."
Chen Jiaojiao left after causing a wave of hatred. Li Jingshu saw this and comforted Gu Yuxi: "Xixi, that woman is outspoken, don't take it to heart."
"Sister-in-law, I never worry about such trivial matters."
"That's good. You also know how Lord Deng feels about you..."
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to bear the reputation of leaving men with nothing, and I have always liked yellow clothes in recent years. He may just be joking."
"Xixi, no matter what choice you make, I will support you. Tell me honestly, do you like Lord Deng?"
"I……"
Seeing that Gu Yuxi didn't answer, Li Jingshu knew what she meant and analyzed rationally: "Some things should be cut off. Since you don't like Lord Deng, and there are many women around him who are courting him, and he is a serious philanderer, your sister-in-law doesn't want you to marry that kind of man."
"Sister-in-law, please stop talking."
"Why can't we talk about it? He's 25 years old this year. Other men of his age can have children. Maybe it's true, as the rumors say, that he has problems with that."
"I still have to go to the Women's College to meet some teachers. Sister-in-law, you can take your time shopping."
"Really? It won't hurt to say you don't like Deng Wenjie, so why run away so fast?"
Li Jingshu carried her son into the snack shop and did not notice the lonely figure behind her.
"Are you all right, my Lord?"
"It's okay, go back home."
"Miss Gu is just confused by the situation. She will definitely see the good in you one day."
Deng Wenjie looked up and asked seriously, "Dongfeng, is offspring really that important? I just want to be with her forever, I don't mind those things."
"But the outside world minds! Madam, Master and the others mind, Miss Gu herself minds too. Sir, it's time for you to get married and have children."
"She said she wanted to be with someone for the rest of her life, and I can give her that."
"That was just Miss Gu's rhetoric to scare away those suitors, sir..."
"Dongfeng, you don't have to say more. I will not change my position."
After graduating from the girls' college, Gu Yuxi walked boredly on the street, still wondering whether she should give that nosy man a hard time.
[Sister Xi, Madam Jie has to pull Chen Jiaojiao up.]
[But he still let that woman into his mansion...]
[The Queen Mother agreed personally, so there was nothing he could do. Didn’t he stay in his own private courtyard on the first night?]
[Should I give him a little treat?]
[What do you think? ]
[But I was also busy during these three years. He wanted to build a career, and I helped him provide high-quality crop seeds. Planting tea, raising fish, sweet potatoes, potatoes... Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and open a technical college and a women's college... All of these were tiring.]
Gu Yuxi walked with his head down, wanting to go back to his Taoran courtyard to relax, but unexpectedly met an acquaintance at the door.
"Miss Gu, long time no see."
"you are?"
The handsome guy in front of her seemed to know her, but Gu Yuxi couldn't remember who he was? Her memory wasn't that bad, was it?
"I'm Li Haozheng. We met three years ago. I want to talk to you."
"Your Majesty!"
Remembering who was in front of her, Gu Yuxi quickly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am a humble girl with poor eyesight and I couldn't recognize you, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"Yes, Your Majesty, speak frankly."
Li Haozheng looked at the woman whom he had not seen for three years. She was more calm and generous than before, and had grown into a graceful young lady. If it were not for her health reasons, she might have been a wife long ago.
