From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

Chapter 733 Ancient Robbery 16

The two rushed to the main hall.

The princess and her husband sat in the first seats. Fortunately, apart from the two of them, no other relatives came.

Fu Wenting and Pingguo naturally followed Meng Liu.

Princess Pingyang had a serious expression and sharp eyes. Compared to her, the prince consort looked middle-aged with peaceful features.

Meng Liu took the teacup handed to him by the maid and knelt down neatly: "Father, please have some tea."

The prince consort looked at the newlyweds lovingly, took a sip, and said in a gentle voice: "It is a blessing for our Gu family that you can marry into our family. I know you are smart and virtuous, and I believe you will become a good daughter-in-law for our Gu family."

When Meng Liu heard this, she lowered her head in a shy manner and picked up another cup: "Mother, please have some tea."

Princess Pingyang took the teacup but was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, she looked at Meng Liu with a scrutinizing gaze. She slowly said, "Since you have married into the Gu family, you must understand the rules. My princess's mansion has a strict family tradition. As a daughter-in-law, you must set an example. Do you understand?"

Meng Liu maintained an impeccable respect on her face: "Mother's teachings, I will remember them in my heart."

Whatever others said before was false. This was the first time Princess Pingyang met Meng Liu. No wonder her son liked her. But she didn't like her very much.

If she is too beautiful, it might tempt her son to do something else instead of working properly. She does not look like a loyal wife.

"Ge'er will be taking up his post at the Imperial College in three days. You should focus on his career and stop wasting his time on trivial matters."

As soon as these words came out, the three men present frowned.

Fu Wenting curled his lips. He was not a high-ranking official, but he was talking as if he had ascended the throne and wasted his ambition on playing with things. Meng Liu married here to be a wife and daughter-in-law, not a nanny. She had to manage everything and also make sure Gu Zhige didn't play around? It was really funny.

"Mother!" Gu Zhige was also somewhat dissatisfied with this. What did she mean by dragging him down with her toys? They had just been married for one day. Was this what she should say now? Even if she was dragging him down with her toys, it was not Meng Liu's fault.

Seeing that his son had a bad expression, the prince consort was afraid that he would say something to make his wife even more unhappy, so he waved his hands.

"After serving tea, go back. You worked hard yesterday, so take a good rest today."

Gu Zhige nodded, took Meng Liu with him and left.

After the man left, Princess Pingyang slapped her chest in anger and said, "What do you think he meant? He no longer cares about me as his mother after he married her, right? I just gave him a few words of advice, but he got so angry that his face turned pale and he protected her. What son would be like this?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Let them handle their own affairs. We shouldn't interfere too much." The prince consort hurriedly coaxed her.

"What do you mean by that? It's their business. We're all family. I'm a mother. Can't I take care of it?"

The prince consort was exhausted from trying to coax her: "Yes, yes, yes, but you have to consider the situation. She has only been married for one day, and nothing has happened yet. When the day comes when she really drags Ge'er to play with her and loses her ambition, it won't be too late to teach her a lesson."

On the way back, Meng Liu walked hurriedly without even looking at Gu Zhige.

She felt a little regretful. If she had known his family was like this, she would never have married him.

There was a concubine in front and a wicked mother-in-law behind. I didn't expect that I didn't realize it beforehand.

Gu Zhige hurriedly pulled Meng Liu away: "Don't be angry, my mother is not like this usually..."

This explanation was very pale. Meng Liu glanced at him, too lazy to pretend anymore, so he shook his hand away and went back to his room.

Gu Zhige chased after her and tried to pull her hand, but was thrown away. He pulled again, but was thrown away again...

He was like a naive child, enjoying it endlessly.

Originally they should have entered the palace, after all, the emperor was Princess Pingyang's biological father, but since she was not favored, the plan was cancelled.

Meng Liu sat down, and Fu Wenting poured her some tea. Gu Zhige wanted to coax his wife, so he said, "You all go down."

Fu Wenting looked at him, somewhat reluctant to move, so Pingguo hurriedly pulled up his sleeve and half-pulled and half-dragged him away.

"Meng Liu, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Meng Liu interrupted him: "Wasn't your concubine feeling unwell last night? Why don't you go see her?"

Gu Zhige was stunned for a moment, but he was not stupid enough to really listen to her and go and see.

Glancing at her face cautiously, Gu Zhige burst out laughing.

He hooked her palm attentively: "Are you...jealous?"

Meng Liu snorted coldly: "I won't be jealous."

She even had doubts about his identity as the male protagonist, so how could she be jealous?

Gu Zhige firmly believed that she was just jealous, and stopped teasing her: "The concubine was arranged by my mother, I have never touched her."

Meng Liu looked up at him. It seemed that this man still had some self-control. But when she thought that the male protagonist was a virgin, she became uncertain again. So, was he really the male protagonist?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Zhige continued to explain: "I...you are the only one in my heart, how could I touch someone else." After saying this, he blushed quietly.

Fu Wenting, who was outside the door, almost leaned against the door with his ears pressed tightly against it, listening to the voices inside.

Apple looked at him with a puzzled look: "Xiao Wang...Fu, this is not good."

"Don't say anything. I'm just worried that your young lady will be bullied by him."

Apple was secretly complaining in his heart, thinking that the couple was already married, so what was there to bully or not? What did the little brat know?

Although Meng Liu still had doubts about Gu Zhige, his words finally moved her. Her expression became much better and she no longer stopped him from holding her hand.

"My mother sometimes says unpleasant things, but don't take it to heart. Tell me if you've been wronged in any way and I'll support you." Gu Zhige brought up the matter again.

Meng Liu: "..."

She didn't think telling Gu Zhige would do any good.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem.

If the conditions are better, the son will have a successful career and will protect his wife, so the evil mother-in-law may not dare to bully her easily.

For someone like Gu Zhige, who has been protected by his family since childhood and had his job arranged by his parents, what qualifications does he have to challenge his own mother?

Not to mention her, she is now at the bottom of the food chain in this family.

"Would you like me to go out and walk around the garden? You just got married yesterday and you don't know the layout of the princess's mansion. I'll take you to get familiar with it."

Meng Liu nodded and let him hold her hand and walk out.

Fu Wenting looked at the two people holding hands and felt a little uncomfortable.

Apple smiled and joked, "The prince is so kind to the young lady."

"What's good about it?" He didn't understand.

Apple was stunned for a moment and said, "The prince will protect Miss. He often gave Miss gifts before the wedding. He must love Miss terribly!"

Fu Wenting sneered: "I am surprised by what I have seen so far."

Apple was not convinced: "What do you mean? Do you think the prince is not good?"
