MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 369 The will is cruel
"It made Eunuch Liu laugh. The general and several lieutenants were practicing martial arts at home. When the old slave passed by, the general was so happy that he forgot to go back and wash up before meeting his father-in-law. He asked the father-in-law not to be angry. This is the idea. If you don’t like the popular stuff, just treat your father-in-law to tea.”
Having said that, Butler He handed over a purse. It was not heavy, and he could tell it was a banknote at a glance.
Eunuch Liu happily accepted the offer. It didn’t mean that he was short of money. It was just that for a position like theirs, not accepting it would often make the other party have more ideas, so he accepted it without discrimination.
Seeing this, Butler He was relieved!
Gu Shaoyu had finally come out of his excited state, so he apologized to Eunuch Liu.
“I made Eunuch Liu laugh. I am really surprised by this news. I will go back and wash up, and then follow my father-in-law into the palace!”
“General, don’t be in a hurry, just take your time.”
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Liu, Gu Shaoyu quickly returned to Xitang Courtyard to wash up and change clothes. When he left, he straightened his clothes before going out. At the same time, Luo Yuan had already prepared the horses, so a few people After getting on the horse, he followed Eunuch Liu and went straight to the imperial city.
In about the time it took for a stick of incense to be burned, Gu Shaoyu arrived in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
“I, I have seen your Majesty, please give me your blessing!”
"Hahaha, I'm finally here. You are so happy now! Your wife is really amazing. She gave you four boys in one breath, which is almost as many as mine."
"I don't dare. The princes are so noble. My son is only a little boy, so naturally I can't compare with them."
At this point, Gu Shaoyu realized that he had three sons.
Although I don’t have a daughter, I do have three sons. The only thought in my mind is that enough is enough, and I won’t have any more children.
Just as he was thinking this, His Majesty the Emperor spoke again.
"The tribute matter was done well a few days ago. Prime Minister Guo told me a long time ago that he would let you go back to guard the wife's delivery. At that time, I still thought it was strange. Why should a woman do this when she has just given birth? But now I know that it is actually Why didn't you tell me that you were going to have three children?"
The emperor's words sounded very casual, but Gu Shaoyu was not stupid and knew that this was a test, so he calmed down and answered.
"Back to Your Majesty, I was also surprised when I learned about this. At that time, my wife received a diagnosis from Dr. Tan, saying that they were twins. The Gu family already has such a bloodline, and my great-grandmother passed away because of giving birth to twins, so I I was so worried that I thought about going back to take a look, but I really didn’t expect that it would be three boys. Therefore, I ask your Majesty’s forgiveness, I dare not hide it.”
Hearing this, the emperor glanced sideways at Eunuch Liu, and then saw him hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"General Gu's words are true. When the old slave went to deliver the order, the general also rushed over in a hurry, with a lot of surprise on his face."
Eunuch Liu’s words dispelled the emperor’s suspicion.
Then he laughed loudly and said.
“You don’t know about it, don’t worry. Forget it, but the message sent here said that both mother and son are safe. You can be more stable as an errand in the court.”
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's heart tightened a little. Does this mean you don't want him to leave?
Sure enough, just as he was thinking about it, he saw His Majesty the Emperor speaking. "Since your wife gave birth safely, it doesn't matter whether you go back or not. When they recover, they will naturally go north to reunite with you. There is no need to run around again and waste time on the road. Jin's envoy seems to have been unruly these past two days, so you'd better think of more ways with the prince to entertain him."
“Your Majesty…”
Gu Shaoyu wanted to go back and was eager to set off right now.
But the emperor's words blocked his way, and there was nothing he could do. He made several requests but was rejected. Finally, the emperor waved his hand and told him to leave first, not bothering to talk nonsense with him.
So, Gu Shaoyu came happily and came back irritably.
I felt some "resentment" towards these three sons I had never met. It would have been better if he came out a few days later. By then, he would be on his way back anyway. Even if the emperor was not happy, it would be hard to recall him.
When he thought that his wife had to do her own confinement, he didn't like anything. He was so angry as if someone was looking for trouble outside. As soon as he entered the door of Xitang Courtyard, he waved his sleeves and smashed a vase with a snap. .
Fortunately, everyone in the house was his own, so there was no inappropriate news. However, after venting his anger, Gu Shaoyu still had to write a letter.
Thinking that he would ask someone to send the news back to Jinling City as soon as possible so that his wife could have a confinement period with peace of mind, he told Luo Yuan at the same time to pick a few skilled people and follow him to the post house later. have a look.
He wanted to know if the Ninth Prince was causing trouble again. If it was really because of his making trouble that he was delayed and unable to go back, then he wouldn't mind letting his men relax the Ninth Prince's muscles.
The news was sent out half an hour later. The secret guards of the Tiger Ben Army hurriedly sent Gu Shaoyu's letter to Jinling City. By the time the letter reached Du Jingyi's hands, she was already sitting The eighth day of confinement.
Under Dr. Xia's care, Du Jingyi recovered quickly. If her belly hadn't recovered more slowly, she would have felt like she was before giving birth.
Three children and six wet nurses, who took care of them carefully and conscientiously. Therefore, they have grown up a lot compared to when they were just born.
"There is only a sitz bath here, no shower, otherwise you can wash up at this time."
Everything Dr. Xia said was very different from Daxing Chao's method of confinement, so Cherry and others were full of curiosity every time they heard what she said.
Thanks to Dr. Xia's care, Du Jingyi is doing well, and the children are also doing well. Therefore, everyone in the Gu family respects Dr. Xia more and more.
Gu Xiaochun originally thought that she would ask Dr.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang did not force it.
After all, they had seen how Du Jingyi was pregnant and gave birth, so it was better to give birth one by one.
"take a shower?"
“Yes, it’s much more convenient to use a tube to flush it directly than a bucket.”
"Then I understand. There is such a thing in the wing room of the General's Mansion in Sui'an City. The general learned it from the royal pool. I wonder if the person who proposed this method was the same as Dr. Xia. One place?"
