Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 222 Hello, Hello, Hello, Everyone

She paused and said, "I had been in contact with Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Tongzhi long before you came to Yongzhou. They were the first people in Yongzhou to know about our relationship."

"Ms. Zhang is their youngest daughter and has been doted on since she was young. If they really loved their daughter, they would never have set their sights on you. Therefore, this time, it is most likely that Miss Zhang acted on her own initiative."

"That makes sense." Gu Yichuan nodded.

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "So, this matter is simple."

"Didn't Madam Zhang invite me to visit the Zhang Mansion a long time ago? All I need to do is go there as promised. I don't even need to do anything. I just casually mention that I want to meet Miss Zhang. With my current status, Madam Zhang will naturally not refuse. Once I meet Miss Zhang, everything will be clear."

Shen Nankui raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This way, we can avoid confronting the Zhang family directly and making them embarrassed, and it can also help Miss Zhang to return to the right path and eliminate this misunderstanding. It will be good for you, me, and everyone, and no one will suffer."

Gu Yichuan shook his head. "She almost pointed at your nose and scolded you, and you still say that you didn't suffer any loss?"

"What's the big deal? The little girl is very stubborn. I won't argue with her. Besides, she is ambitious and I want to use her in the future."

He Hua on the side burst out laughing.

"Madam, you are only two years older than that girl Zhang, why do you always speak in an old-fashioned way?"

Shen Nankui thought to herself that she had lived two lives, so her mentality was naturally different from others.

But she said: "I am the wife of a state noble after all, I should be tolerant of others."

Gu Yichuan smiled, "Since my wife has said this, no matter what I do, I will do my best to earn you a royal title."

"Of course." Shen Nankui said bluntly.

She said it very naturally, but in Gu Yichuan's eyes, it was a touching feeling that penetrated his heart.

She always believed in him.

Shen Nankui was holding a small rattle and teasing A Nao in the crib. The nearly two-month-old baby could already laugh. A Nao stared at the rotation of the rattle, grinning with a row of pink and toothless gums, and laughing.

Gu Yichuan found it interesting and felt pity for his wife, so he took the task from his wife.

Shen Nankui rolled his eyes at him helplessly and said to Hehua, "Hehua, send a letter to the Zhang family and tell them that I will visit them tomorrow."

"clear."

……

The next day.

When Shen Nankui went to Zhang's house again, Mrs. Zhang greeted her warmly at the door.

As soon as he saw her, he smiled and said, "Madam Gu, when we met in Yanxia Pavilion last time, neither you nor I could have expected that we would have this day. Speaking of which, you were in confinement some time ago, and I was unable to personally congratulate you. Congratulations on your double happiness of having a daughter and becoming the wife of a state master."

"Aunt Zhang, please don't say that. It really embarrasses me."

Gu Yichuan and Zhang Tongzhi were uncle and nephew, so based on seniority, she called Mrs. Zhang Aunt Zhang.

The call of "Aunt Zhang" brought the two of them closer. Mrs. Zhang was happy and took her hand to lead her into the house. "It's what it should be. It's what it should be. If you say this is really a great fate, it must be God's blessing that we can be together again."

"Yes, that's why they say that everything has its own arrangements. It really proves what we said at the beginning, that everything will turn out well after a disaster."

"Yes, yes, come, Nan Kui, sit here."

Shen Nankui regarded himself as a junior, so Mrs. Zhang did not act shy and changed her words openly.

Actually, this was even more to her liking. After all, Shen Nankui was now the wife of the state governor, so there was no harm in being on good terms with her.

After the servant brought the tea.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Nan Kui, this Emei Maofeng was brought by my nephew. How about you try it?"

The fragrance of the tea wafted into my nose before I even took a sip. I took a sip and the fragrance lingered. Shen Nankui praised, "Good tea. I am so lucky to come to my aunt's place today."

The call of "Aunt" made Mrs. Zhang even more excited. She waved her hand and said, "As long as you like it, I'll ask someone to fill some up later and you can take it back to drink."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"Why should I be embarrassed?" Madam Zhang pretended to be unhappy. "Since you called me aunt, I should accept the gifts from my elders. Besides, this is not something expensive, just some tea leaves. Don't refuse it."

Shen Nankui sat down and bowed, "Thank you very much, Auntie."

"Alas, I am ashamed to say this, Nan Kui. I should have visited you for such a big event as the birth of your child. Unfortunately, you were in confinement, and I was afraid that I would disturb your peace if I came rashly, so I never came to visit you."

Shen Nankui said with a smile: "Although Auntie didn't come, she always gave me and my children gifts. Besides, I came to see you today, so it's the same."

Madam Zhang smiled kindly and asked eagerly, "Your little girl is still young. It's not suitable to take her out in such a cold weather. It's a pity that I haven't been able to hug her yet. I wonder how she is these days. Is she laughing and making trouble?"

"Aunt, what you said is really a coincidence. My daughter's nickname is Ah Nao. She often cries and makes trouble for others, so she got this name. But I think most of the time, she is very well behaved."

Mrs. Zhang nodded. "Of course. As mothers, we like our children more and more as we watch them."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Ah Nao was born prematurely and has always been weak. The doctor told me that I had to keep her for a hundred days before I could see her, so I didn't bring her out today."

Mrs. Zhang's face became serious when she heard this. "Oh, you have to take good care of this precious little baby. You must not let anything go wrong with it. Not to mention the 100th day, you should even keep her at home for a few more months."

Shen Nankui nodded and smiled, "It's fine if she doesn't go out on weekdays, but she will have to be brought out to meet people during the Hundred Days Banquet. Auntie will hug her then."

"Okay, I'll go to the temple and get a lucky charm and put it on the child's bedside to bring him good fortune."

……

After talking for a while, Shen Nankui finally stated his purpose.

"Aunt, I have been in Yongzhou for so long. I have heard that you have a youngest daughter who is the most favored. Everyone outside praises her for her extraordinary talent and outstanding appearance. I have never had the chance to meet her. I wonder if you can let me meet this sister today?"

"It's not a difficult thing. Of course you can. You are of the same age, so you should be able to chat with each other!"

Madam Zhang pointed at someone and said, "Go and ask the young lady to come over."

Zhang Qiongsi has been staying in the house in a bad mood since she came home yesterday. When she heard Hongdou coming over and saying that her mother asked her to meet a guest, she refused without thinking.

"If you don't want to go, just say I'm not feeling well."

Hongdou looked embarrassed, "Miss, I'm afraid it won't work. The guests this time are of noble status, and even the lady can't be careless. You'd better go quickly, even if it's just to deal with one or two."
