Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Republic of China’s Gentlewoman Discarded Wife vs. the Affectionate Actor (40)

Gu Shengyin was carried all the way by Huangfu Qi.

Fortunately, this man preserved her dignity by setting her down before they entered the door.

Shengyin actually knew it was just self-deception.

It was likely that someone had already reported the situation here to the others ahead of them.

Still, it was better than being carried through the door in front of his parents.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t know just how frivolous their daughter-in-law is.

She took Huangfu Qi’s hand, leaning almost her entire weight on him, and they entered intimately.

Watching the two of them, a knowing smile flickered across the eyes of the Madam Grand Marshal.

"Father, mother," Huangfu Qi nodded towards them.

In line with his lead, Shengyin called out as well.

The Grand Marshal responded and fumbled to hand a small box to Gu Shengyin.

This was considered a greeting gift.

It was somewhat heavy. That was Gu Shengyin’s first feeling upon receiving it.

The Grand Marshal’s eyes gleamed with mischief, "Open it and see, let’s see if you like the gift I, as a father-in-law, have chosen for you?"

Since the Grand Marshal had said so, Gu Shengyin could only comply.

She opened the box and instantly understood from whom Huangfu Qi had inherited his character.

Who else would give their daughter-in-law a gun on her first day entering the family?

The Madam Grand Marshal obviously had not expected that the mysteriously guarded gift her husband refused to show her turned out to be this, she couldn’t help but hold her forehead, this was truly...

Gu Shengyin deftly picked up the gun from the box. Clearly tailored for ladies, the small and elegant silver exterior made it look more like a decorative item rather than a powerful weapon.

Shengyin actually quite liked such a gift, she couldn’t help but fiddle with it in her hands.

"Thank you, father."

Seeing the undisguised joy in her eyes, the Grand Marshal clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Since I knew you were Lin Jianke, I guessed that something like this would suit your taste, indeed hahaha..."

Madam Grand Marshal helplessly glanced at him.

She pulled Gu Shengyin over, handing her a small box as well, "I won’t prepare those eccentric gifts for you. Inside this box, I had someone specially craft a set of jewelry for you at the Treasured Jade Building, along with some land deeds and storefronts."

"Thank you, mother." Gu Shengyin knew that their willingness to give such items meant this couple truly accepted her.

Gu Shengyin’s three days in the Huangfu Family.

The first day, apart from meeting the Grand Marshal and his wife, was spent resting.

The second day, she met the host of charming concubines of Marshal Huangfu, along with Huangfu Qi’s half-sisters from different mothers.

Madam Grand Marshal never stopped Marshal Huangfu from taking concubines, with one condition: they could not live in the same western-style building, out of sight, out of mind.

All those concubines and daughters of the Huangfu family lived in a nearby large courtyard.

The third day, Gu Shengyin rested in her room all day for reasons she wouldn’t discuss with outsiders.

Madam Huangfu was quite pleased with this development, estimating that she might soon hold a grandson.

It was just that the daughter-in-law needed nourishment.

On the day she returned home, Lady Zhao got up early. In fact, she had not rested well these past few days, constantly worrying about whether her daughter was doing well at the Huangfu family, and whether she could adapt.

It wasn’t until she saw Gu Shengyin. The color in her daughter’s face was impossible to fake.

And Huangfu Qi, although a bit aloof, was genuinely caring towards her daughter.

Seeing her daughter sit down, Huangfu Qi even specially brought a cushion for her, making Lady Zhao’s heart bloom with joy.
