Chapter 111 Was Someone Bullying You?
After Gu Yu came out from Director Qingshan, Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng were also ready. The three of them quickly mounted their horses and headed for the capital.
Because they had traveled on the road from Lian Town to the capital frequently, their speed was not slow even without anyone leading them. They traveled all the way to the capital.
At this time, Gongsun Jie and others had not arrived yet.
After arriving at the Gu Residence, the three of them did not do anything else but fell onto the bed and slept soundly. After they had rested enough, they got up from the bed full of energy and went out to stretch their bodies.
However, for Gu Yu…
Obviously, the bed was the best place.
When Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng had been up for half a day, Gu Yu was still hugging his quilt and sleeping soundly. Seeing this, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly, thinking that Gu Yu’s constant sleepiness was not good.
Before, he had corrected her bad habits, and now it seemed that this bad habit of sleeping in also needed to be changed!
Thinking about this, Mengyao Gu did not wake Gu Yu up. Instead, she tiptoed out of the room and began to wander around the Gu Residence.
The sudden transition from the tense battlefield to the leisurely rock gardens and flowing water was quite jarring. Although she had not been away from the military camp for a long time, Mengyao Gu still remembered her life in the military camp sometimes.
Although it was hard, it was fulfilling.
Especially when she saw soldiers becoming stronger after training, it made her feel gratified, thinking that it was no wonder teachers felt a sense of accomplishment, and it was the same principle!
However, life in the military camp was like a fleeting glimpse of a flower; she didn’t know if she could ever return in the future.
If she could, Mengyao Gu did not want to go back.
Because every time she went to the military camp, it was to encounter a troublesome war. Even if they won in the end, it still caused considerable damage to Linfeng Kingdom, and the common people were the ones who suffered in the end.
Thinking about these things, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but sigh. Then, she stopped thinking and looked up at the surrounding scenery, breathing in the fresh morning air, and calming her mood.
“Young Lady, Madame asks you to come over.”
“What does Auntie Fei want me to go over for?”
“Your servant doesn’t know. Madame said you’ll know when you get there.”
“Alright.”
As Mengyao Gu was strolling, a little maid suddenly appeared and said that Gongsun Feifei wanted her to go over. Mengyao Gu was puzzled, wondering what Auntie Fei wanted to see her for?
Yesterday, when they arrived in the capital, Gongsun Feifei had an expression as if she wanted to say something but stopped. Mengyao Gu found it strange at the time, but because she was too tired, she did not continue to ask.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Feifei called her now.
“Auntie Fei? What do you need me for?”
“It’s Mengyao! Come and sit, come and sit. I just wanted to chat with you, nothing else.”
When Mengyao Gu was led by the little maid to where Gongsun Feifei was, she saw her sitting in a small pavilion in the back garden with a thoughtful expression. Upon seeing Mengyao Gu, she quickly waved her over.
However, although she said nothing was wrong, Gongsun Feifei’s expression was not.
She looked like she was hiding something, which made Mengyao Gu even more confused. She didn’t know what was wrong with Auntie Fei?
After so much time spent together, Mengyao Gu and Gongsun Feifei had a very harmonious relationship. They did not have the scheming and fighting of those in novels, but were very close.
Gu Qing married Gongsun Feifei when he lost his memory, so it wasn’t like he abandoned his first wife… After he recovered his memory, he sent people to Lian Town to look for Mengyao Gu and her brother, and he did not forget his children.
However, for his deceased wife, he could only sigh helplessly.
Mengyao Gu was already married, and she had no objection to her father remarrying. Coincidentally, Gongsun Feifei was also a good woman, and she was not harsh on Mengyao Gu and her brother, so everyone got along very harmoniously, and there was nothing to be displeased about.
It was precisely because of this that Mengyao Gu was very curious now, wondering why Gongsun Feifei looked so entangled?
It was so curious!
“Auntie Fei, what is it? Tell me quickly!”
“It’s nothing, it’s just… Mengyao, has your coming-of-age ceremony passed? It should have been on your birthday, but unfortunately, you were on the battlefield at that time, so you missed your coming-of-age ceremony.”
“…”
“I was thinking of holding a make-up ceremony for you this time when you return. But these things should be prepared by your mother. Now I… I took the liberty to help you prepare. Will this make you uncomfortable?”
After Mengyao Gu opened her mouth in confusion, Gongsun Feifei no longer kept it a secret and revealed the reason.
This made Mengyao Gu’s expression a little stunned, but her heart was like a surging tide, making her unable to speak.
Coming-of-age ceremony.
If Gongsun Feifei hadn’t brought it up, Mengyao Gu would have almost forgotten about it.
It was a very important event for a girl, but Mengyao Gu had forgotten all about it because she was busy fighting. Now that Gongsun Feifei mentioned it, she felt deeply moved.
It made Mengyao Gu very happy that someone cared about her so much.
After hearing Gongsun Feifei’s slightly uneasy words, Mengyao Gu quickly shook her head at her, then reached out and took Gongsun Feifei’s hand. After suppressing her emotions for a moment, she spoke.
“Auntie Fei, I’m not unhappy! My mother left early. Now that you care about me so much, it’s truly… very moving. I’ll leave this coming-of-age ceremony to you. It will also allow me to be like those young ladies from noble families and have an unforgettable coming-of-age ceremony in front of everyone.”
“As long as you agree! But this is a good thing, why are you crying? After you cry like a big cat, let’s see if Gu Yu will laugh at you.”
“How dare he!”
As Mengyao Gu spoke, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red, looking like she was about to cry. Seeing this, Gongsun Feifei quickly took out a handkerchief from her arms, gently wiped the corners of Mengyao Gu’s eyes, and comforted her softly.
At the same time, Gongsun Feifei couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, thinking that Mengyao Gu was such a well-behaved girl, and her childhood experiences were too bitter.
Fortunately, she had finally found happiness after hardship.
And as Gu Qing’s wife, she also had to take care of Mengyao Gu and her brother.
Now that she saw that Mengyao Gu did not dislike her, Gongsun Feifei felt a great weight lifted from her heart. Then, she enthusiastically pulled Mengyao Gu to discuss what to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony, how many guests to invite…
After a series of discussions, time passed quickly. As it was nearing noon, Gongsun Feifei finally let Mengyao Gu leave, planning to continue their discussion in the afternoon after lunch.
A girl’s coming-of-age ceremony happened only once in a lifetime, and Gongsun Feifei was determined to hold Mengyao Gu’s ceremony well!
Therefore, even though it was troublesome, when Mengyao Gu saw Gongsun Feifei’s energetic appearance, she didn’t say anything more and could only nod silently.
Since someone cared about her so much, even if it was more troublesome, it was fine.
She hadn’t been cared for like this for a long time since her mother passed away.
Although she had Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng by her side, they were men after all. Even though they took good care of her, they didn’t understand her as well as Gongsun Feifei, who was also a woman. Therefore, Mengyao Gu felt very touched now.
As for her coming-of-age ceremony, since it was a makeup ceremony, there was no need to rush.
Gongsun Feifei planned to go to a temple to ask a master for an auspicious date before discussing other matters.
Mengyao Gu naturally had no objections to this. She just nodded to Gongsun Feifei, indicating that everything would be handled by Gongsun Feifei.
“Mengyao, why are your eyes so red? Was someone bullying you? You really have the guts of a wolf and leopard to dare to… Hmm, that doesn’t seem right. You don’t bully others, so who would dare to bully you?”
When Mengyao Gu returned to her residence, Gu Yu had already gotten up from the bed. After washing up, he was sitting in a chair reading a medical scripture very seriously.
However, upon hearing the door being pushed open, Gu Yu immediately shifted his gaze from the book and looked up towards the door.
As a result, he saw Mengyao Gu with red eyes.
Then, Gu Yu, extremely anxious, stood up from his chair. While speaking, he quickly walked towards Mengyao Gu, wanting her to tell him who had bullied her and that he would get revenge for her.
However, after walking closer to Mengyao Gu, Gu Yu suddenly felt that something was not right.
He thought about his little wife’s strength to kill a tiger with one punch, and then he thought about her wielding a long spear with great momentum. Who was tired of living and decided to come and die?
Mengyao Gu was originally very touched by Gu Yu’s words. However, after hearing Gu Yu’s change of tone, she was instantly angered and hit him. Gu Yu cooperated by pretending to clutch his chest in pain and retreated several steps.
“Yu, are you alright!”
Although Mengyao Gu was confident in her strength, her strength had become a bit uncontrollable after training in the military camp. Therefore, seeing Gu Yu’s superb acting skills at this moment, she quickly asked, worried that she had really injured Gu Yu.
Hearing this, Gu Yu chuckled. Then, as Mengyao Gu approached, he directly hugged her, using his actions to convey that he was fine.
At this moment, Mengyao Gu finally felt relieved. She then gave Gu Yu a playful glare, thinking that he just liked to scare people!
She was really worried just now that she had hurt her little husband…
“Mengyao, what happened?”
“It’s nothing, I just feel that Auntie Fei is really good to me, and it makes me very moved.”
“???”
“Yu, you need to be nice to Auntie Fei in the future. If you bully her, I’ll deal with you.”
“How could I! When my wife speaks, I’ll definitely obey.”
Burying her face in Gu Yu’s chest, Mengyao Gu said in a muffled voice. Gu Yu, though he didn’t know what had happened, didn’t go against her at this moment. After making a series of promises, Mengyao Gu hugged him even tighter.
Auntie Fei is a good person.
