Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 66 Are you still worthy of her things?

As soon as I entered the west room, I saw a pile of things on the table.

She couldn't help but ask, "Chuan'er's wife, did you bring all this from your mother's home?"

Mother Gu glanced at the hair crown that Liang was fiddling with, and said with some dissatisfaction: "As the saying goes, filial piety comes first. You knew to bring something for your sister-in-law, but why didn't you remember me, your elder?"

When Shen Nankui saw her come in, he hurriedly asked her to sit down.

"Mother-in-law, you have wronged me. I have always been thinking about you and was just about to send you something."

She took out a piece of blue satin with floral patterns and said with a smile, "Look, this material suits your complexion very well. It's perfect for making you an autumn dress."

Mother Gu felt the texture of the material and smiled with satisfaction.

"He is a sensible person."

She glanced at Song Dong'er standing behind her and said, "Chuan'er's wife, you have always been sensible and considerate. Although Dong'er has some misunderstandings with you, you are her cousin after all. This time when you went back to your mother's house, you brought things for everyone. Is there any for Dong'er?"

Liang's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

My mother-in-law is so biased. Ever since that incident, Dong'er has never given my second brother and sister-in-law a good look. They don't even say a word when they meet on weekdays. Only my second brother and sister-in-law are open-minded and don't care about her.

Even with this, she still wants others to bring her gifts. Why?

She wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shen Nankui's eyes.

Shen Nankui smiled faintly, "Mother-in-law is right. Since I brought gifts for everyone, how can I be partial to some and ignore others?"

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, she tried her best to pick gifts for everyone.

However, the ones given to Liang and the two little ones were specially selected by her.

As for the ones given to Gu's mother and Song Dong'er, they were whatever she picked up at the cloth shop. The materials were all good and could be used to make clothes or handkerchiefs for them.

She took out another piece of smoky-colored material and handed it to Song Dong'er.

"I know that cousin Dong'er is currently seeing a matchmaker, so she should be well dressed. This piece of material is very colorful, so I'll give it to cousin Dong'er to make clothes for her. Just think of it as a token of my appreciation as her cousin's wife."

When Song Dong'er heard this, her expression changed instantly.

"Are you so anxious to get rid of me?"

Shen Nankui raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that, cousin Dong'er?"

She looked at Liang and Gu's mother, "Isn't cousin Dong'er looking for a husband? I kindly gave her fabric to make new clothes. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Liang said hurriedly, "Second brother's wife, you have good intentions, what's wrong with that?"

After that, she shook her head at Song Dong'er again, "Dong'er, this beautiful embroidery material was brought back from the capital specifically for you by your second brother's wife. Why don't you appreciate it?"

"I don't want her things!" Song Dong'er said coldly.

Seeing her attitude, Liang also became annoyed.

"Mom, look at her!"

Mother Gu felt helpless.

She wanted to help her niece, but Song Dong'er was indeed wrong in today's incident. However, if she had to blame her, Mother Gu felt reluctant.

I had no choice but to coax her, "Don't be angry, Dong'er. Look how beautiful this material is. Come here and let me show you how it works. Then you'll know."

"Aunt!" Song Dong'er was a little reluctant.

"come over!"

Mother Gu emphasized her tone.

This silly child, what is she doing? How could she not appreciate such good material?

I think I have spoiled her too much.

Shen hadn't offended her today, so if she was being so shy, wouldn't that make herself embarrassed?

Song Dong'er came over reluctantly.

Mother Gu shook out the material and tried it on her body. "Your second cousin's wife has good taste. This color looks so fresh on her!"

Song Dong'er didn't want Shen Nankui's things at first, but when she looked at the material, she suddenly had an idea.

She showed a satisfied look, "Second cousin, I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted, but it would be a pity to send such beautiful material to a tailor's shop. If it falls to those clumsy hands, it will be ruined. If you ask me, Second cousin's needlework skills are unmatched. Why don't you let Second cousin make me a dress?"

After saying that, she waited for Shen Nankui's answer.

It takes a long time to make a set of clothes. If she agrees, I will be happy to see her work hard. If she doesn't agree, won't that give my aunt a reason to find fault with her?

Anyway, whether she agrees or not, I won't suffer any loss.

Shen Nankui didn't expect that after she accepted the material, he would dare to ask her to make clothes for her?

Where does the confidence come from?

Shen Nankui almost laughed out of anger. Just as he was about to find a reason to refuse, an angry voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

"How dare you ask her to make clothes for you?"

Gu Yichuan strode in from outside and stopped in front of Song Dong'er. He looked at her deeply, then snatched the material from Song Dong'er's arms and threw it on the chair.

"Are you still worthy of her things?"

His tone was particularly stern, and everyone was a little confused about this sudden change.

Mother Gu frowned and scolded: "Chuan'er, why are you so mean to your sister for no reason?"

Gu Yichuan ignored her and said to the two children, "Ayuan, Aqiao, you two go out first."

After the two children left, Gu Yichuan said, "Mom, Dong'er grew up by your side. You spoiled her and protected her in every way. No one dared to say anything. Because of you, she made such a mistake last time. Nankui and I did not hold it against her. Instead, we always considered her. Do you know what she did now?"

"What did she do?"

Mother Gu asked while looking at Song Dong'er.

When Song Dong'er met her inquiring gaze, her expression was somewhat evasive.

Gu Yichuan said coldly: "The last time Nan Kui was in danger, it was not an accident. It was Dong'er who colluded with the bad guys and deliberately harmed Nan Kui. The rumors that spread everywhere afterwards were also her doing."

"This, how is this possible..."

Gu's mother and Liang were shocked, both of them were in disbelief.

Shen Nankui recalled what Wu Shao said at that time and looked at Song Dong'er thoughtfully. Wu Shao said that he was interested in her because of rumors, but what kind of rumors would lead him to take action on a strange woman?

Just a few rumors on the streets might not be enough to make him break the law knowingly. Someone must have said something to him on purpose.

Song Dong'er's face was pale, but she still shook her head, "It's not me..."

"Even now, are you still making excuses?"

There seemed to be no warmth in Gu Yichuan's eyes.
