Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 214 How are you going to treat Jiaorong?

The old princess arrived quickly. After all, Pei Xu had made preparations in advance. Once successful, the old princess would set off.

Now, counting the days, the old princess will be here soon.

The old princess came from a prominent family, so she could face things like a coup calmly.

But when she saw her fair and tender grandchildren, she could no longer remain calm, and her eyes fell straight on them.

"The children are so beautiful, they look just like Xu'er."

The old princess smiled with her lips curled up, and then she looked at Gu Jiaorong.

"It's hard for you to take care of two children."

This was the first time Gu Jiaorong met Pei Xu's mother. She didn't know what to say for a moment and could only lower her head and answer, "It's not hard."

According to her experience of reading many novels and watching TV dramas, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem.

What's more, the old princess had originally arranged a maid for her son, and she would definitely interfere in the selection of concubines in the future.

Even if she was arranged by the old princess, she might not be liked by the old princess now.

However, these two children are Pei Xu's firstborn children, and they are very much loved by the old princess.

Gu Jiaorong imagined a lot, but it didn't show on her face.

"Mother, you've had a hard time on this journey. Let's go home and sit down and talk."

Pei Xu was the first to speak up to break the deadlock. He didn't know what his mother's attitude towards Gu Jiaorong was, but he hoped that his mother would like Gu Jiaorong. After all, she was the mother of his child and the love of his life.

The old princess did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Then let's go home first and talk later."

This palace is filled with memories of the old princess and her husband. After her husband's death, she left the capital and never returned.

It’s not that the old princess doesn’t want to come back, but that she can’t.

She knew that her son had his own ideas and she would not hold him back, so she stayed in her fiefdom, never going out of the house, just to let her son plan with peace of mind.

Now that her family is reunited and she has a pair of adorable grandchildren, she can't express how happy she is.

A group of people escorted the old princess into the palace. The maid beside her took her cloak with great tact and helped her wash her hands.

After washing her hands, the old princess reached out and took her granddaughter.

"Our Suisui is so cute, with such a chubby little face. When she grows up, she will definitely be as pretty as your mother."

The old princess's love for Sui Sui was very obvious, and the nanny beside her took out the gifts that had been prepared long ago.

"When Year after Year was born, even though I couldn't come back from my fiefdom, I had already ordered people to prepare these things, just waiting for today."

When Gu Jiaorong heard this, she immediately thanked him.

However, the old princess was not satisfied with her address and even frowned.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know what she said wrong, but she didn't ask directly. Sometimes the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Besides, Pei Xu was still by her side. She felt that it was more appropriate to ask Pei Xu than to ask the old princess.

So she turned her head and looked at Pei Xu.

"Look at what he does. Even if you look at him, you have to change your address. Now that you have grandchildren, can't I still call you mother?"

The old princess looked at her with a smile, as if she had seen through her thoughts.

Gu Jiaorong hadn't expected this to happen. She froze in her tracks, blinking her eyes. Only at Pei Xu's urging did she come to her senses and called out to the old princess, "Mother."

The old princess nodded with satisfaction and hugged her little granddaughter affectionately again.

When she left the capital, Pei Xu was only a teenager. He seemed tough, but he was also fragile inside. She was not completely at ease with him, so she gave Gu Jiaorong to Pei Xu.

At that time, she actually didn't think that Pei Xu would have any story with Gu Jiaorong. After all, Pei Xu had been an upright person like his father since he was a child, but apart from Gu Jiaorong, she seemed to have nothing left for him.

Although she is just a girl, she is still the memory left by her mother.

The old princess hid her thoughts and just said that she was a maid arranged for him, and told him to take good care of her even if he didn't like her.

"Since you called me mother, I naturally have to give you a gift of change."

The old princess was very generous. The box looked small, but it was actually very heavy, which showed that it contained some good things.

Gu Jiaorong had received many rewards, but this was the first time she received a gift from her mother-in-law, so she quickly smiled and thanked her.

Now her family is getting richer and richer, so even if she leaves Pei Xu in the future, she will not have to worry about food and drink.

Even at this time, Gu Jiaorong would still have the thought of leaving Pei Xu from time to time, and the alarm bells in her mind had not really stopped.

She carried such a secret in her heart, and even after giving birth to a child, she still felt somewhat out of place in this world.

Pei Xu knew his mother had no intention of embarrassing Gu Jiaorong, but he still said at this moment: "Mother, you are tired from the journey, so you should rest for a while. Your grandchildren can't run away, so you can hold them anytime."

There was a smile on his face and a hint of joking in his words. He seemed much more lively than when his father had just died.

The old princess always felt guilty for not being able to be with her son, but the situation at that time forced her to return to her fiefdom. Now her son has a family and children, and he looks much better than before.

"Then let the children go back first. Xu'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I have something to ask you."

Although the old princess was a little tired, there were some things she didn't want to say too late. Besides, she was taking care of Jiaorong and cared about her attitude.

Pei Xu did not refuse. He understood his mother and knew that she had a gentle personality. Even if she left him alone to talk, she certainly did not want to embarrass Gu Jiaorong.

"If you have anything to say now, Mother, I think you should prioritize your health and rest first."

Pei Xu's eyes were filled with concern. Now he only had a few relatives left, and he didn't want anything to happen to his mother.

The old princess waved her hand and said with a smile, "Although your mother is old, she is not that old. I have something very important to ask you now. It won't be too late to rest after I have asked you."

She has always been thinking about her son's lifelong affairs. Now that her son has a child and all other matters have been resolved, there is only one thing she is still thinking about - that is his relationship with Gu Jiaorong.

"Now you and Jiaorong already have a child. You had no choice but to marry Xie Wanning. Now Xie Wanning is long dead, and the Xie family is ruined. How do you plan to treat Jiaorong?"

The old princess had a deep affection for her husband, so naturally she hoped that her son's wife would be the one he loved, rather than an exchange of interests.

What happened in the past is in the past, so that’s all that matters. But now I can’t sacrifice my marriage just to keep my power.
