Chapter 363 Raising troops to investigate crimes

Gu Zizhan felt that he couldn't communicate with her mother and didn't want to say more.

Just talk to your parents in the evening.

So I looked at my eldest sister and said, "Sister, I'm going back to the yard first."

"Well, go ahead!" Gu Ziyan nodded. Looking at the tense situation between the two people, both of them were angry, and she was afraid that she couldn't say anything good.

Gu Ziyan really couldn't understand her mother's favoritism towards her third brother.

On the surface, he seems to be partial to his younger brother, but the third brother is the one who lives the most depressed life.

As an elder sister, of course I know how my younger brother feels, but my second younger brother is much better off.

My second brother's wife has a good and gentle personality, so she lives well under my mother's care. But my mother has a strong personality and wants to make her own decisions.

Only my father is not very capable and can tolerate it, but anyone with a bit of character would probably not be able to stand my mother's temper.

Watching her brother leave, the mother cried here again. Her own home was in a mess and she couldn't say anything.

I have to persuade my mother.

Gu Ziyan took out the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the tears for her mother: "Mother, I think you just need to live your life well. Father also loves you. Children and grandchildren only have children and grandchildren's blessings. You don't need to care so much. Instead, live happily, right? Third brother is almost thirty years old. He knows what he wants. You can't accompany him for a lifetime, right?"

"Yan'er! You are a mother, can't you understand my heart? I just hope he can find a wife who can help him!"

Gu Ziyan really felt that it didn't make sense: "Mother, what do you think of my brother's ability?"

"Of course he is excellent. Among the children of aristocratic families, there are only a few who can become a third-rank official without relying on their parents."

"Yes! My brother is capable. He just needs to find something he likes. Why does he have to find someone who can help him?" Gu Ziyan tried to comfort her mother.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, it will not be good for anyone.

Princess Rui thought about it and it seemed that it made sense.

"But Zizhan cannot live alone."

"Mother, why do you think that living in a separate residence is a bad thing? Looking at the entire capital, how many people have made great contributions to deserve a separate residence for His Majesty? There are none! Doesn't this mean that you have raised an excellent son? Even if he lives in a separate residence, wouldn't it be the same if he came back during the holidays? It's better than your brother going back to the border in a fit of anger and you not seeing him for three to five years!"

Gu Ziyan patiently analyzed the pros and cons with her.

The key point is that given Shen Xia’s current situation, it is a question whether she will agree to this marriage.

My mother always holds Zizhan back. Not to mention outsiders, I feel sad for my brother myself.

She was originally his fiancée.

After they met and fell in love by chance, they were separated.

It's uncomfortable for everyone.

It is already very good that Zizhan can still talk to his mother calmly.

My mother actually wanted something else.

The two talked for a long time.

In the evening, I had dinner with my mother and father.

I just went back and watched the night fall. People were coming and going on the street, as if I was all alone.

She couldn't tell her mother about her current situation.

Seeing how sad she was about her brother's marriage, how could I continue to talk about my own affairs and make her worry?

After returning home, Gu Ziyan no longer cared about household affairs and let them do whatever they wanted.

Because last time Pei Yuanqi asked for money to buy a summer farm, Gu Ziyan didn't give it to him, saying that she gave the money to a friend to invest in it.

It has been a month since I last visited her yard.

During this period, Zhou was spoiled beyond measure.

It's like she's going to become the mistress of the house.

And ever since Gu Ziyan relaxed her mind, she seemed to not notice anything.

The princess looks glamorous, but she started out as a commoner and doesn't have much wealth. In addition, Pei Yuanqi has a younger sister who is a concubine in the palace and also supports her expenses, so the family's expenses are even tighter.

Over the years, it has often been Gu Ziyan who has used the income from her shop to support the family expenses.

Instead, it raised some ungrateful people.

During this period, Gu Ziyan slowly cut out the income from her shop.

Live the life that suits your circumstances.

The food at home gradually became worse.

Just after I finished washing up, I saw Pei Yuanqi coming in.

Gu Ziyan's maids, Xiaoyan and Xiaotao, glanced at their son-in-law.

Xiao Tao said to the lady who was taking off her hairpin next to her, "Madam, my son-in-law is here."

Gu Ziyan said nonchalantly, "Yeah," without even turning her head, and continued doing her own thing.

At dinner time, my mother complained that the food at home was getting worse and worse.

Of course, Pei Yuanqi didn't feel anything about this at first, because he often ate out, so he didn't realize it, but since his mother said so.

That's certainly the case.

I haven't been to this yard for nearly a month.

I thought that when I came over, she would definitely greet me with a smile, but the result was!!!

What happened to her? Was she feeling jealous of Jiao'er?

I haven't treated her badly over the years.

The reason why he took in a concubine was because she had no children, and he never took in a concubine since then.

I don’t know what else she is dissatisfied with.

See she's almost done.

Pei Yuanqi then asked, "Mother said the food at home has become worse recently. Did you not give enough money to the kitchen?"

Gu Ziyan glanced at Pei Yuanqi.

With a slight curl of his lips, Pei Yuanqi, now in his early thirties with a small beard, is no longer the handsome young man he used to be.

It seemed as if the mutual affection between the two of them back then was just a dream, and became a passing cloud.

"Are you here to find me and call me to task?" Gu Ziyan said calmly.

There was not a single unnecessary expression.

Sister Shen is right. When you love, you really love, but once you don’t love anymore, you can’t expect anything from the other person.

Instead of getting too caught up in your emotions and constantly exhausting yourself.

It’s better to be nicer to yourself.

Pei Yuanqi frowned: "What do you mean? As the head of the family, aren't these your responsibilities?"

"Yes! But even a good cook cannot cook without rice! Sir Pei would understand this truth!"

"how is this possible?"

"How is that impossible? Mother just withdrew two thousand taels from the account to send to Concubine Yi a few days ago, and this month's income has not yet reached the end of the month, so there is not much money left in the account."

Pei Yuanqi listened to Gu Ziyan talking about accounts. He had never touched these things before. When he was a child, his mother took care of the accounts. After he got married, his wife took care of the accounts. He had no idea how much money the family had.

I only know that my wife is good at managing the accounts and the family's living expenses are arranged in an orderly manner.

I never thought that there would be no money in the family account.

Although there won’t be much big money, I hoped that my wife could give me some money to buy a farm last time.

In addition, everyone goes to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.

It would be embarrassing to tell others that my family doesn’t even have a summer resort.

That's why I thought of buying one for my wife.

As a result, my wife, who used to listen to everything I said,

It seems like everything has changed now.

Getting more and more stingy.

Gu Ziyan saw that he didn't say anything.

"I haven't been feeling well lately. Since my husband thinks I can't manage the household well, I will hand the keys to my mother tomorrow. Whoever you think can manage the household can do it!"
