Chapter 899 Confession and Return [3]

Aunt Qin smiled and shook her head: "Before the engagement, you said that the case in your family has been completely settled, and you and your grandmother have been pardoned. It will not affect the imperial examinations of future generations. What is there to be afraid of?"

"I'm even less angry. I've already explained it in advance. I didn't lie on purpose. Why should I be angry?"

This?

indeed.

but……

"The reason I was pardoned is because I took my grandmother's surname... My original family name is actually Wei." Guan Shuli really didn't want to lie to his wife, so he gritted his teeth and confessed everything to her.

"Surname, Wei?" Qin Xiaogu was surprised. As someone who had studied with her second brother since she was young, she certainly knew what the clerk would specifically tell her about her surname.

"Yes." Guan Shuli responded, then looked at her and asked again, "Are you scared?"

Guan Shuli was nervous, fearing that his new wife would be scared away by his background.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Qin smiled again and told him clearly: "Don't be afraid. Our Great Wei Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years. There are many people with the surname of the country, and those who do not have the surname of the country will be involved in some huge disputes. Besides, the case of your husband's family has been settled for many years, and your husband has taken his grandmother's surname, so the past is all over, and we can just live our new life normally."

Let's just live our new life normally.

Guan Shuli repeated these words in his mind, feeling a great warmth and anticipation for the future welling up in his heart.

The next moment, he hugged Qin Xiaogu tightly and said, "Thank you, my wife. The folks are right. I am really lucky to have such a good wife like you."

No wonder the folks are so jealous.

His wife is beautiful, knowledgeable, and has the ability to calm him down with just a few words.

Although they had consummated their marriage, she felt a little dizzy last night. Now that she was being hugged while awake, still on the bed, Qin Xiaogu couldn't help but blushing.

When the clerk Guan saw this, he looked forward even more to the future life they would live as husband and wife… Grandmother was right, even though he pretended to be pure and unselfish, he was still a worldly man at heart.

Qin Xiaogu felt that he was hugging her tighter and tighter, and she began to feel nervous.

The clerk Guan noticed it and finally said, "But I still want to say sorry to you, my wife."

If he were to confess his situation, I guess not many people would dare to marry him.

Even if I marry him, it must be for some purpose.

But Qin Shu didn't. He could feel that she agreed to marry him just because she thought he was suitable, so she married him and lived with him.

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your apology. But you have to promise me one thing. Don't tell my family about your family's affairs. I just need to know about it for now."

She gave the reason: "My parents are old, and they have experienced the disasters in their hometown and fled famine, settled down and made a fortune, and were given official positions. They are tired. Let them live a stable life and don't need to know about this."

Firstly, this matter has no immediate impact, and secondly, once they know about it, the two elders will be worried for nothing.

"Okay." Guan Shuli agreed, but he felt more and more guilty... What happened in his family was not a good thing after all.

Dong, ding-dong.

The sound of water and copper bells came from the lobby of Guan's house.

This is the sound made when the dripping water accumulates and pours into the large basin, causing the machine to turn and hit the hanging copper bell.

"It's morning? I have to get up." Qin Xiaogu said, looking at the clerk Guan, and said uncomfortably: "You first..."

Qin Xiaogu said a little bit more, she just got married and she really couldn't let go.

The clerk Guan was a tactful person and immediately said, "Okay, I'll get up first and you can lie down for another half an hour. Grandmother has been working hard for half a month and she said yesterday that she would sleep until 9 o'clock today."

He added: "The thank you dinner will be held at noon. There is plenty of time. You can take your time, my wife."

There are only two people in the Guan family, a grandparent and a grandchild, so today's recognition ceremony is very simple. Just pay a visit to Old Madam Guan and invite the matchmaker to have lunch.

"In half an hour, I will ask Nanny Chen to bring someone in to wash you. You can go back to sleep."

Guan Shuli called Qin Xiaogu "daughter-in-law" all the time, which brought them closer together and made Qin Xiaogu feel a sense of belonging to this family.

"Okay." Qin Xiaogu responded, wanting to get up and dress after the clerk left, but she was so tired that she fell asleep again without realizing it.

It was almost 9 o'clock when she woke up.

When Nanny Chen heard the noise, she knocked on the door first, asked, and then brought the three ladies from Qinghe Mountain in to serve.

They were all acquaintances, so although Qin Xiaogu felt embarrassed, she remained calm.

After washing and dressing, I went to the kitchen and cooked noodles for the family for breakfast.

The servants had already prepared the meat sauce, eggs, noodles and even seasonings. All Qin Xiaogu had to do was wait for the water to boil and cook the noodles.

Old Madam Guan waited until Aunt Qin finished cooking the noodles before opening the door and coming out... Well, this way her granddaughter-in-law wouldn't have to worry about sleeping too late.

"Granddaughter-in-law, I pay my respects to grandma. May grandma be well." Qin Xiaogu bowed to old lady Guan, offered her tea, and handed over two pairs of headbands, two pairs of cotton shoes, and two pairs of leather and cotton hand guards that she had sewn herself.

Madam Guan was very surprised and asked, "Why did you make so many? Didn't you just pass on the message and make a headband?"

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "I originally wanted to make a headband, but I couldn't stop making it. I thought my grandmother could use it, so I made three."

Old Lady Guan was very happy to receive the filial respect from her granddaughter-in-law: "Okay, okay, but it will only be this time. Grandmother's dowry is very generous. It will all be yours in the future. We don't have to make it ourselves. If you need anything, just use the money to buy it."

She also agreed with Qin Xiaomi's words: "Little Zhu often talks about what Xiaomi said, that if money can be used to buy things, then use money to buy them, and people need to rest more and enjoy more. Let's live according to this model in the future."

This?

Qin Xiaogu felt that Madam Guan had been hanging out with the children in the family for too long and was "led astray" by Xiaomi Xiaozhu.

But it’s good that the old lady is like this.

When you get older, you should live happily and not worry about too many rules.

Uh?

Qin Xiaogu was stunned, she seemed to have been "led astray" by Xiaomi.

Nanny Chen looked at Madam Guan's happy expression and felt very emotional... After so many years, this house finally feels a bit like home.

"Grandma, daughter-in-law, let's have breakfast quickly. The noodles are almost clumping together." Guan Shuli reminded from the side... Grandma must have eaten something secretly in the house, but Shu Jie'er had eaten something before the wedding consummation last night and has been hungry ever since.

Your rebellious grandson is slandering me. I have been starving since last night just to finish my grandson's wife's breakfast!

"Yes, yes, yes, I must try the noodles made by my granddaughter-in-law." Old Madam Guan sat down and called to Aunt Qin: "Granddaughter-in-law, please sit down. We don't have the custom of teasing people in our family. We all eat at the same table at the same time."

"Hey, granddaughter-in-law thanks grandma for your consideration." Aunt Qin thanked her and then sat down.

Madam Guan was so hungry that she ate a bowl of noodles in one go. She even stopped and said, "My granddaughter-in-law's cooking is really good. Any more? Grandma can have another bowl."

"There's still room in the kitchen, but you..." Qin Xiaogu looked at Guan Shuli with some embarrassment.

The clerk Guan said, "Grandmother, you are old. Just eat until you are full. Don't overeat. If you can't digest it, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Old Madam Guan looked unhappy and said to Aunt Qin: "Did you see, granddaughter-in-law? He usually controls me like this. It's really annoying. From now on, you should control him well and help grandma vent her anger!"
