Second house Xihuyuan.

Since Li Xiangru was sent back by Danwu, she has been in a trance. When she thought that she might marry that vulgar mailman, she couldn't stop crying.

"Cry, cry, cry, cry, what's the use of crying? Look at the stupid thing you did. If the big house told the old lady about this, even I would be dragged down by you! Didn't you say that you are safe? Then why didn't Su Li save you? The one who saved you is a servant?" Guo glared at Li Xiangru with a hateful look and said with a calm face.

Liao stood aside and saw his daughter crying pitifully. She felt so distressed that she wanted to comfort her for a few words, but she did not dare to step forward due to Guo's presence.

After Li Xiangru fell into the water, Guo thought she had accomplished her business and wanted to go to the guest room to see her, but she was tripped by Madam Lu in the big room. Madam Lu talked to Guo for a long time, and after leaving, Guo heard about the fragrance of Hualutian from the maid.

Li Xiangru, this idiot, Guo felt embarrassed even if he thought about it.

Guo was still not satisfied, and the maid brought the tea. She raised her hand and knocked the teacup over. Li Xiangru shrank for a while. After a while, Guo reluctantly came to the anger and said to Liao's mother and daughter: "My cousin, this matter is Ru'er's mistake today. She can't recognize her identity and wants to get along with the dragon and the phoenix. In the future, you can teach her well and stop doing this. As for the eldest and old ladies, I will explain it."

The implication is that this matter was planned by Li Xiangru and has nothing to do with the second wife.

Guo was clean now, so Liao naturally disagreed. After all, she was her own daughter. She could not be a servant. "Second Madam, how could you say that... If you hadn't brought us to the Su Mansion and told us... How could Sister Ru do such a thing?"

Guo refused to admit it, and raised his lips and said, "Is that right? I have never said it clearly. If you hadn't been so thoughtful, you wouldn't do it even if I was talking nonsense." It wasn't that she was flirting with the sparrows and could be phoenixes when they flew to the branches. She just guided her for a few words, and they couldn't wait to jump into the pit.

Liao was trembling all over and said angrily: "You..."

Although Li Xiangru also hated Guo's clean picking, he had to turn to Guo's help, "Auntie saves me, I don't want to marry that servant... Please..." He called "Auntie" now to bring each other closer together.

Guo said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that you've said you've died and proved your innocence with death. Now, the eldest lady has helped you, but you don't want to. Isn't this slap yourself in the face?"

Li Xiangru really regretted death now. Who knew that it was not Su Li who saved her? When she thought of what she said with confidence in her kneeling in front of Yin, she felt ashamed. "My aunt told the eldest lady that I was confused, I..."

Guo interrupted her: "Are you crazy? Please come and see it after a look. I can't tell you this matter. I can't tell you what the old lady said. If the old lady nodded, I can only add an extra dowry to you because of your aunt."

This is the place where there is no room for reversal. Li Xiangru's body softened. Thinking of Su Li's handsome and innocent face, he felt hopeless and unwilling to cover his face and sobbed.

This matter eventually reached the old lady's ears.

The old lady called everyone from the second house in the big house. Since she heard Yin's words beforehand, her face looked calm. After asking about the causes and consequences, she said very understandingly: "Although marrying Changping is a bit aggrieved, Miss Li insisted on repaying her kindness, and the Su family had no reason to stop her. Since that's the case, then discuss a day and get the marriage done another day."

The old lady lived in the back house for most of her life and had seen many tricks. She could tell Li Xiangru's thoughts at first sight. Because she was bored, she deliberately said this and disgusted her.

As expected, Liao and Li Xiangru's faces turned pale.

The old lady was too lazy to talk to them and asked someone to send off the Liao family's mother and daughter.

"The second wife." After the Liao family and his daughter left, the old lady looked at Guo, who was sitting in the rose chair below, "I treat the second wife as my own, and treat you equally with the eldest brother. I originally thought you were just a moment of confusion, but this time you really disappointed me. Would you not know that the Liao family and his daughter did such a thing? If you were not careful, wouldn't you fall into their trap? You led them into the mansion, and you were also wrong in this matter."

The old lady said this very tactfully and did not point it out. She gave Guo a chance to use it to knock on her for Su Yang's sake.

Guo lowered his head and said, "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law knows her mistake."

The old lady said, "I will go to Xiangshan Temple to rest in two days, so I will punish you and me. The place is quiet and there are not many people allowed to enter. I only take Mama Li whenever I go back. Mama Li is old and can't serve her. This time you go, and you can just take her."

Every time the old lady goes back to Xiangshan Temple, it takes ten days and half a month, which means she is serving her in front of her these days. Besides, even the old lady only takes Mama Li, so she can't get over the old lady, and at most she can only bring a maid. Guo gritted her teeth and said for a while: "...yes."

Within two days, Liao and Li Xiangru moved out of the Su Mansion.

Su Xi heard Yan say that Li Xiangru's "declaration" that day was known to him by Chang Ping. Later, the old lady personally agreed to the marriage between the two. Chang Ping went to Li Xiangru's guest room every day to discuss the matter of the two families discussing marriage, and took his mother from another place. Li Xiangru was annoyed and did not want to marry him. She finally couldn't stand it and lay in bed and couldn't afford to get sick.

Liao told the old lady that she was worried about spreading the disease to the people in the mansion. Before the doctor could come to see her, she packed up her bags and rushed back to her hometown in Kaifeng overnight.

I never dare to ask for anything to repay my kindness again.

The day when the old lady led her second wife Guo to Xiangshan Temple was exactly the day for the clan school to rest.

Su Xi and Yin sent the old lady to the door. Guo's face was so heavy that he could twist out water. There was only a little girl behind him, and she looked only eleven or two years old.

The old lady stood in front of the carriage with black painted flat tops, motionless. After a while, Guo reacted and supported the old lady and said, "Mom, hurry up." Although the words were respectful, they were not very willing on their faces.

The old lady said, "Xiangshan Temple is a quiet place. You can still cultivate your body and character after you go there, and it will not harm you."

Guo didn't say anything.

After the carriage left, Su Xi returned to Hualutian Xiang. Today she promised Su Baiyu to take him to the villa to fly kites. The second brother happened to be in the mansion, so she asked Tingyan to prepare the carriage and said to Yin. The group of three went to Long'an Mountain Villa in the western suburbs.

Long'an Mountain in the western suburbs is a beautiful place with beautiful landscapes. Facing Taiqing Lake, behind it is a continuous mountain range, to the east is a peach forest, and to the west is a hot spring pool, and the scenery is as beautiful as a paradise. Those who can afford to build a courtyard here are either wealthy families or nobles in the capital city or royal grandchildren. Even a prominent family like the Su family can only build a three-in-one courtyard halfway up the mountain, and the top of the mountain is the territory of the royal family.

After arriving at the other yard, the manager Zhu Li led them to their respective rooms.
