The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 230 - 231: Newlywed

Nanny Chi is someone close to Mrs. Gu Sr., and appearing here at this moment, every action of Nanny Chi represents Mrs. Gu Sr.

Otherwise, how could a mere servant like Nanny Chi dare to say such things? Lin Youning understood in her heart that her aunt was indirectly telling her that, no matter the time, she always cared for her the most.

But after that incident, even if Lin Youning wanted to trust the other side, she felt helpless.

After Shanmoi and Hailan helped her wash up and change into some inner clothes, she returned to the bed in the new room, "I can manage being here alone. You’ve both been busy all day, go and grab something to eat."

"Miss hasn’t eaten all day either. I’ll go to the kitchen now to see if there’s any food prepared for her." Shanmoi still thought of this.

"Both of you go ahead then. The girls here are either newly bought or were from the Gu Mansion before. It’s been many years; you two haven’t come here before either. Go and get familiar with the faces, so you won’t be lost tomorrow when serving. The kitchen has already prepared Miss’s food. Let the little maid bring it over now." Nanny Chi waved them off while explaining to Lin Youning, "It was the Marquis who asked the kitchen to prepare. He just mentioned Miss always likes something light, and after such a busy day, you probably don’t have much appetite. So, the kitchen prepared some plain congee and a few small plates of pickles. Would these suffice? If not, I’ll have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes."

"Just bring these over," Lin Youning indeed didn’t have an appetite.

In fact, upon hearing that these were prepared by her elder brother, she lost her appetite entirely, not wanting to eat at all, even if she had been a little hungry before, she no longer felt so.

Yet, in front of Nanny Chi, Lin Youning didn’t want to show it, so she forced herself to appear composed.

Nanny Chi smiled and instructed the little maid to bring the food, while kindly advising, "The old lady knows Miss is unfamiliar with this place, which is why she sent me over. In your heart, you might still hold a grudge towards the old lady, and if you don’t wish to see me, I can leave."

"Nanny Chi, if you keep on saying this, how can I ever face you again?" Lin Youning smiled wryly, for to her, Nanny Chi was like family and an elder, "The matter is in the past now; there’s no need to mention it again. When you return to my aunt, relay this to her as well."

"The old lady often says, she doesn’t have many years left. As long as she sees Miss doing well, she can be at ease. Now that Miss has married the Marquis, there’s nothing she has to worry about, yet she keeps saying she wants to move to the small Buddhist Hall and it was us who stopped her." Knowing today was a joyful day, Nanny Chi felt it wasn’t right to say too much and swiftly changed the subject after a sentence, "The old lady sent me here with a message for you. Even though Princess Yuanhua is now a commoner, she still has the Royal Family and Consort Zhou behind her. If she comes to the mansion looking for trouble, the old lady advises you to bear with her. She says there will be a time when the flowers bloom."

The Eldest Prince is causing so much commotion now, yet the Holy Emperor says nothing, as if he’s unaware, because he understands them well.

The Crown Prince doesn’t pay him any attention, because he is confident.

Besides, counting the years, it’s not long before the Crown Prince ascends to the throne. Let them be arrogant for a few years; what harm could it do?

Once the Eldest Prince falls, what else could Princess Yuanhua rely on?

"Nanny, rest assured. I know," Lin Youning naturally dismissed it as irrelevant, as Nanny Guo had also mentioned these matters to her.

Nanny Chi smiled, "I’ve watched Miss grow up since she was little. Now that you’re married, I too feel delighted. The previous matters were sent by the old lady, but the next few words are my personal advice. Given that the Marquis is the Dingyuan Marquis on that side and the eldest lord of the Gu Mansion on this side, the Marchioness might harbor discontent. After all, she isn’t broad-minded, so there’s no need for Miss to be cowered by her. By seniority, the Marchioness ought to address Miss as sister-in-law. The primary concern for Miss now is to give birth to descendants early. That way, whatever the Marchioness does won’t affect you."

"Nanny, don’t worry; I’ve noted it," Lin Youning replied, both amused and exasperated that everyone urged her to produce heirs quickly.

In her past life, Gu Er couldn’t produce an heir, but she was pregnant. Yet, whose child was Brother Zong? Lin Youning still doesn’t know and can’t comprehend.

Now they bring it up again, urging her to have a child soon. Without even mentioning these matters, just between her and her elder brother, although she harbored feelings for him, the thought of them being utterly honest with each other made her uneasy.

Moreover, it is likely that her elder brother, having always regarded her as a sister, wouldn’t possibly do such things with her.

Nanny Chi, unaware of Miss’s thoughts, felt relieved seeing her agree. Soon, the little maid came in with the food, and Nanny Chi served Miss the meal before clearing away the dishes. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The festive candles quietly burned in the room, yet Lin Youning’s heart was restless. Last time during her wedding night, she had been drugged and only woke up the following day, so she knew nothing of the wedding night.

Since then, Gu Er never entered her room again, nor did he even step into the mansion courtyard.

So to Lin Youning now, the matters between men and women remained foreign to her, despite living a second lifetime.

In this complex state of mind, the door to the room was pushed open, and Lin Youning, tense, lifted her head to look outside.

In a striking red robe, Gu Yifeng strode in from outside. Seeing the figure seated on the bed, his steps paused, "I will wash up in the side room."

Lin Youning’s face flushed slightly. She nodded and was about to ask if he needed assistance when Gu Yifeng had already bypassed the screen and walked towards the back.

Time passed slowly, and by the time his figure returned, Lin Youning didn’t know how long had lapsed. Yet for her, it felt endless, as if the candle fire tonight was dull and unresponsive.

Gu Yixuan’s eyes were deep, like a dark, unfathomable lake. Looking at him, one could easily get lost in the depths. He walked briskly to the bed, seating himself on the soft couch beside it.

"Since the incident, we haven’t spoken. It’s still early; we should talk for a while," Gu Yifeng began.
