Chaoli withdrew his gaze, smiled gently, and didn't say much.
One year is not a long time, nor is it a short time. Whether it is the wedding day or now, Chaoli is very determined to reconcile with Gu Hanzhang.
Even though she knew that Gu Hanzhang didn't care about her at all, Gu Hanzhang couldn't give her the affection she wanted, not to mention the unequal status between the two, Shen Lianyi's existence, and the unsolved problems in her heart.
Heart knot.
When it comes to asking if she still has Gu Hanzhang in her heart, Chaoli actually knows very well that she loves this person deeply to the core of her bones and there is no way she doesn't have any feelings at all.
But that's all. From now on, she has to live for herself.
After packing up, Chaoli headed to Shaohua Garden.
I haven't set foot here for a long time, and Shaohua Garden has not changed much from before.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chaoli did not rush in. Instead, he called the maid and told her to wait there.
Pei Yu followed Chao Li, while Qing Yi stayed in Tingyuge to clean up the house.
Not long after, the maid came over to report that Princess Dessau had invited her in.
Chaoli walked into the courtyard and headed to the front hall.
Gu Qinghan did not go out today. He was sitting at the top with Princess Desao. Both of their eyes were on Chaoli who had just stepped in.
"I've met my father and my mother." Chaoli said with a slight blessing.
Princess Desao glanced at Chaoli, reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup with a calm expression.
"What a surprise. A busy person has time to come to my place."
Chaoli smiled, not feeling uncomfortable at all because of Princess Desao's words. Anyway, she had long been accustomed to Princess Desao's way of speaking, and knew that she would not easily like her as her daughter-in-law.
"Mom was joking. I just didn't want to disturb my mother's purity, so I didn't come. After all, my mother worked very hard in the past. My mother also knows that I don't have a business, so I won't be busy. I just feel sorry for my mother's tiredness, so I let her
Mother is resting well, so I don’t dare to disturb her." Chaoli replied seriously.
No matter what I say or do, you won't be happy with it, and I don't want to wrong myself, so I'm sorry, I can only wrong you.
Hearing what Chaoli said, Princess Desao was extremely angry.
What does she mean?
Is it because she didn't let her take charge of the family?
"I'm afraid you don't feel sorry for me, but you don't take me as a mother seriously." Princess Dessau said sarcastically.
Gu Qinghan coughed lightly and said, "Okay, you were talking about Hanzhang's wife when she didn't come over. Now that she's here, you're still talking about it. Can't you say a few words less? Isn't it nice to be harmonious?"
Princess Desao snorted coldly, but did not speak again, which gave Gu Qinghan enough face.
Gu Qinghan looked at Princess Desao and smiled gently. Princess Desao turned away, obviously telling Gu Qinghan that she was losing her temper and needed him to coax her.
As we all know, the flamboyant and domineering Princess Dessau was deeply in love with Gu Qinghan. The relationship between the two was very good, and there was no one around Gu Qinghan. It was a good story in the capital.
However, due to the status of Princess Dessau, no one usually mentions this.
Gu Qinghan also knew Princess Desao's temper and had his own plans in mind.
"Daughter-in-law Hanzhang, you came here today to see your mother. Do you need me to avoid you?" Gu Qinghan looked at Chaoli with a smile.
Chaoli shook his head, "Father is joking. This is your and mother's yard. You don't need to avoid it. Today, my daughter-in-law is here to talk to her mother and the prince will have lunch together."
"That's it?" Princess Dessau asked, trembling.
Chaoli responded, "Yes."
Seeing this, Princess Dessau held her breath in her chest again.
No matter what, she is Gu Hanzhang's daughter-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, she doesn't care about her mother-in-law and doesn't even say a word of greeting. She is really uneducated.
"You haven't come to my place for so long, and today just to say that Hanzhang will have lunch at home, you don't even have the basic respect for your mother-in-law, and you don't know how to say hello?" Princess Desao snorted coldly.
Chaoli was quite helpless, as her nominal mother-in-law was as difficult as ever.
In her previous life, she was asking for greetings, but she said that she was a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster, and that she had no good intentions. She was hoping something was wrong with her, so that he could seize the power of the head of the family from her, and even scolded her.
It's still her fault that she didn't say hello now.
However, she is no longer the obedient Chaoli in her previous life.
"What my mother said is that it's my fault. It's my fault for not saying hello to my mother first. However, seeing how angry my mother is, I think she must be in excellent health, and I don't have to worry about my mother. But no matter what
No matter what, mother must take good care of herself. This entire huge palace needs you to take charge of the overall situation. You must not get sick. I am clumsy and I am not very good at taking care of others." Chaoli said seriously.
Listen, what a considerate daughter-in-law she is!
After all, Princess Dessau likes to be in charge of the family, and she also likes to manipulate her as her daughter-in-law. Now that she has directly said that Princess Dessau is in good health, let’s see what she will say.
He also said not to get sick. In this case, even if Princess Dessau wanted to accuse her of illness and ask her to take care of her illness, she would have to see if it was suitable.
If you really do this, you will be suspected of pretending to be ill.
Princess Dessau's chest rose and fell, and Chaoli smiled more and more gently.
It was rare that she had never been so angry in her previous life. In the final analysis, it was just because she put Gu Hanzhang first at that time, so she was also cautious about his relatives.
"Shut up! The more you talk, the more ridiculous you are. Do you really want me to get sick?" Princess Dessau was furious.
"I didn't. Mother, don't doubt your daughter-in-law." Chaoli looked aggrieved.
Gu Qinghan smoothed things over again, "Okay, why are you so angry? Hanzhang's wife also reminds you. You have indeed been a lot anxious and haggard during this period, which is heartbreaking."
Princess Dessau became nervous immediately and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.
"Ah? Are you tired?"
Gu Qinghan chuckled, "It doesn't matter, don't be angry. Hanzhang's wife is doing it for your own good and wants you to take care of yourself. Okay, don't hold on to me. I'll take you to Mingyue Lake in a few days.
Let’s go sit on the boat. It’s been a long time since we went out together. It’s nice to walk around in the spring.”
"Okay then." Princess Dessau replied shyly.
Chaoli was a little speechless. She found that she seemed a little redundant, but she also knew that Gu Qinghan was diverting Princess Desao's attention and helping her.
Regarding good intentions, Chao Li naturally understands.
This was also the case in the previous life. As long as Gu Qinghan was around, Princess Desao would be easier to talk to and her temper would not be so bad. Even if she had a temper, she would be quickly suppressed by Gu Qinghan.
"Mother, I came here today because I have one more thing to ask of you," Chao Li said.
Princess Desao raised her eyes and looked at Chaoli, her expression softened slightly and she no longer glared angrily.
"If there's anything else, let's talk about it together. Didn't you just say it's all gone?"
