Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 677 This is what parents-in-law should do

Shen Wantang saw Gu Qianhan coming from afar and walked towards him.

Gu Qianhan went to meet her, and when he got closer he saw that her face looked much better than yesterday: "Your wound hasn't healed yet, don't run around, or the wound will bleed again. If you like to eat something, just ask the servants to pick it for you."

Shen Wantang smiled at him. "I was just bored and thought picking fruit was fun. Don't worry, I asked Du Juan and the others to treat my wound. They changed the medicine and it doesn't hurt much anymore, and the bleeding has stopped."

Gu Qianhan held her hand: "Do you want to continue picking? I'll accompany you."

Shen Wantang walked hand in hand with him into the woods. "I also want to pick some more persimmons and dates. Oh, and pears. I heard the soil here is extra fertile, and the pears are crisp, sweet, and big."

Seeing her high spirits, Gu Qianhan asked with a smile, "You picked so much, can you finish it?"

"We can't finish them all, so we picked more on purpose. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat them when we return to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow."

"So you were worried that you wouldn't be able to eat it when you return home tomorrow, so you brought people here to pick fruit early in the morning?"

"Yes!"

"If you like this place and these fruits, then we can stay here for a few more days. I was planning to wait until you recovered from your injury before returning to the Duke's Mansion."

Shen Wantang's eyes lit up. "Really? We can stay at the manor for a few more days? What are you going to say to the Duke's Mansion?"

"Just say that when you were attending to Shen Guannian, he infected you with some of his pathogenic energy, and that's why you fell ill. I brought you to the farm to recuperate, and you can go back after you've recovered."

"Well, that's good. Okay, let's put it that way!"

"Also, Atang."

"Ok?"

"This farm belongs to us. Even if you go back to the Duke's Mansion, if you want to eat something, you can ask them to pick it and send it to you as fast as possible."

Shen Wantang smiled brightly: "Okay, got it."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Gu Qianhan to pick persimmons.

The persimmon trees here were too tall for her and the maids to reach. They had originally planned to ask the maid who took care of the fruit trees to pick the fruits, but since Gu Qianhan was here, it would naturally be faster and easier for him to pick them.

Who told him to be good at Qinggong?

After picking fruits for the whole morning, several backpacks were filled to the brim.

After taking them back, Shen Wantang picked out some good-looking ones, packed them into more than a dozen boxes, and asked Gu Qianhan's people to send them back to the Duke's Mansion for her parents-in-law, her elder brother and sister-in-law, and Gu Qianning to taste.

Seeing that she was still thinking about the people in the Duke's Mansion, Gu Qianhan couldn't help but say, "Just keep these best fruits for yourself. Don't give them to them. They are a bunch of brainless people. They are wasting such good fruits by eating them."

Shen Wantang gave him a reproachful look. He was just like the rumors said. He was extremely cold and indifferent. He treated human relationships as nothing and didn't care about who others loved.

She was lucky enough that he not only took her seriously, but also cared about her in his heart.

"We all live under the same roof, so we should have some social etiquette. These are just some fruits, not worth much, but they are a small token of my appreciation. I want my parents-in-law to know that they treat me well, and that I, as their daughter-in-law, know how to repay their kindness and be filial to them."

"How have they treated you well?"

"Ah? Isn't this good? It's already great! Not to mention the many priceless treasures my father-in-law gave me, let's just talk about my mother-in-law. She's always so attentive to my well-being, worried that I won't get used to living in the Duke's Mansion, and afraid that you'll bully me. Every day when I go to pay my respects, she asks me carefully about what I've eaten and used. Most importantly, my mother-in-law gave me an excellent nanny!"

"This is what they should do. If the parents-in-law don't treat their daughter-in-law well, wouldn't that be disrespectful and lack the dignity of an elder? If they don't treat you well, I won't agree."

Shen Wantang didn't expect that he would think this was what parents-in-law should do. She had lived for three lifetimes and actually knew what kind of parents-in-law were like out there. It was common for them to treat their daughters-in-law harshly and set rules for them.

Even when she married into the Ning Wang Mansion in her previous life, Ning Wang and Ning Wangfei gave her a warning when she offered tea and deliberately gave her boiling hot tea to hold.

She held on, so Princess Ning was very satisfied with her.

Even though Princess Ning had given her a warning, overall, she was a good mother-in-law that was hard to find in the capital.

However, Shen Wantang did not expect that her mother-in-law in this life, Madam Gu, was more decent, more amiable, and more caring towards her than her mother-in-law, Princess Ning, in her previous life.

Of course she knew that the difference was that her husband's attitude towards her was completely different.

Gu Qianhan's love for her was obvious to the naked eye. Madam Gu would not make things difficult for her for the sake of her son's face. Even when serving tea, Gu Qianhan took the teacup before her, tested the temperature of the tea for her, and then handed it to her.

He treated her well, and his family treated her well too, so she was willing to be a good wife and handle all the necessary matters with courtesy and decency - for her, this was as simple as eating and drinking, and she could do it easily.

She waved to Gu Qianhan's men and said, "Alright, send all these fruits to the Duke's Mansion. Tell them that I ate the fruits from the farm and found them particularly fresh and sweet, so I'd like to invite my father and mother to taste them together."

The subordinate responded and left.

Shen Wantang watched him leave and smiled gently. She actually wanted to ask Gu Qianning to taste these fruits, but it would be unreasonable to give them to her alone. It would not be a big deal to give them all to her.

"As for the remaining fruit, keep some fresh to eat, and use the rest to make snacks or preserves!"

Of course, Shen Wantang couldn't eat much herself. Just now in the garden, Gu Qianhan picked whatever he saw that looked good and gave it to her to try, and she was already full.

Gu Qianhan actually ate quite a bit, and now he had no desire to eat any of the fruits, but he simply wanted to leave everything to Shen Wantang. The rest of the people could buy them themselves if they wanted to eat!

However, since Shen Wantang wanted to send some fruit, he did not try to stop her. It was just right for him to let everyone in the Duke's Mansion see what a wonderful wife he had married.

It was when Shen Wantang was about to send some fruit home that he suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law seemed to be like this before, always considerate. Whenever she got something good, she would give a portion to her father and mother first, and she would never forget him, her brother-in-law.

It's just that he didn't take these little things seriously before. Now that he is married and has his own wife, he finally understands that women are different from men. Men don't do those worldly things and no one will gossip about them. Everyone will just think that you are upright and honest.

If a woman does not understand the ways of the world, she will probably be accused of not being well educated and having no manners.
