Sanqi arrived at the palace in the evening of the same day. The person who came back with her was the commander of the palace guards. Since she had given orders early in the morning, she did not let anyone find out, even Shiliu kept it a secret.
She knew that Shiliu would return to the palace today. Unexpectedly, the prince summoned her that day. Could it be that Sixteen said something that he shouldn't have said
Sanqi was somewhat dissatisfied with Shiliu's recent performance. Unfortunately, given her status, she could only remind him occasionally, but she couldn't say much.
When she saw the prince, Sanqi felt somewhat uneasy. The girl had hidden many things from the prince. Although the man in front of her was her master, there were some things she didn't want to tell the prince.
Unexpectedly, when Prince Heng came to her, he only asked Gu Mingmou what she had done at home recently, whether she drank milk on time, and whether Qi Lang had asked her about such trivial matters.
Sanqi was sweating profusely and the corners of her mouth were twitching. She always felt that something was not normal about the man sitting above.
Fortunately, she was now very accustomed to the role of Gu Mingmou's maid, and it was not difficult to answer all the questions. So within more than an hour, Gu Mingmou was even asked about his favorite color of clothes.
By the end of the story, her mouth was dry and Prince Heng seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts.
If Huang Tong hadn't interrupted suddenly, she would have continued talking.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Come in."
Seeing Huang Tong show up, Sanqi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates..."
"You stay here and we'll talk later."
"..." This means that he doesn't want to let himself go.
Sanqi stood aside quietly. Huang Tong ignored her and said, "There is news from the Ning family. An elder of the Ning family has come to find her."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Sanqi's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.
Little did he know that Prince Heng had a clear view of her expression.
"Keep staring."
"yes."
I don't know if it was the news from the Ning family that made Prince Heng feel bad. She originally thought that she would have to stay for at least half an hour, but she was sent away shortly after Huang Tong withdrew.
Sanqi didn't think so much. There was something going on at the Ning family, so it would be better to tell the girl as soon as possible.
That night, Sanqi informed Gu Mingmou of the news. Gu Mingmou didn't sleep for half the night after receiving Xin'er. The elders of the Ning family...see
That Divine Doctor Ning must have shown up.
In the darkness, she straightened her arms and spread her fingers. Her fingertips were trembling slightly, just like her mood at the moment, which was filled with indescribable tension and excitement.
It wasn't until dawn that she finally felt sleepy, but she didn't sleep long before she was woken up.
The sound outside the room was really harsh. Gu Mingmou put a hand on his thorny forehead, propped up his arms and sat up. His voice was a little dry and hoarse, "Xiuyue."
"Girl, you're awake."
"Who's talking outside?"
"It's someone sent by the old lady." Xiuyue whispered as she brought honey water to Gu Mingmou to soothe his throat.
"Grandma?" She was a little surprised, "Why did grandma suddenly want to send someone here?"
"Not only you, the old lady also called you Madam."
"That's strange." After a while, Gu Mingmou took the maid to Mrs. Gu's yard without even having breakfast.
After entering Mrs. Gu's yard, Gu Mingmou finally understood why they were called here today. It turned out that a guest came to visit Mrs. Gu.
Turning to look at her mother, Mrs. Xue was smiling at the woman who was patiently feeding Mrs. Gu medicine.
The woman was dressed very simply, with only a blackened silver hairpin on her head and a plain white skirt with a blue pattern. She was probably not as happy as she was before, and she had a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The woman seemed to have noticed Gu Mingmou's arrival. She suddenly turned her head and saw her face clearly. Gu Mingmou's expression turned cold.
It's not for nothing, just because she is 30% similar to her mother. Moreover, he has a pair of peach blossom eyes, which seem to be able to take away people's soul with just one glance.
A few days ago, my mother mentioned that she wanted to take a concubine for my father. In just a few days, my grandmother has already found a concubine? If she was just an ordinary guest, my grandmother would definitely not ask her and her mother to come over specifically to cause trouble.
The woman smiled at Gu Mingmou, turned around and continued to give medicine to Mrs. Gu. It wasn't until she finished the last sip of medicine that the woman put down the bowl in her hand, and looked at Mrs.
"Not as good as my sister."
The woman chuckled softly, took Old Mrs. Gu's hand that was holding her sleeve, and said softly: "Sister is joking, I am a widowed person, how can I say that I am living a good life? If my aunt hadn't been seriously ill, I would have How dare you come to bother me?"
"Back then, my sister was not so polite when she came to my door. Since it was to take care of my mother, I entrusted her to
I've given it to you. Sister, please do your best. If you need anything, just come to me. "Xue's tone was calm, and she went back and forth with the woman.
Gu Mingmou couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw her. She had never seen her mother talking to someone like this. What was the origin of this woman
"Since sister said that, I can rest assured. There will always be time to trouble sister." The woman didn't show any politeness at all and agreed.
If this person was really specially found by my grandmother, he would be much more difficult to deal with than the previous ones. But... mother can handle it, right
Today, for some unknown reason, Mr.
From their words, Gu Mingmou learned that this woman's surname was Shao, that she was a neighbor before the Gu family moved to the capital, and that she and her father Gu Yong were childhood sweethearts.
The childhood sweetheart who became a widow suddenly came to visit... Seeing the faint sarcasm in his mother's eyebrows, Gu Mingmou thought to himself that the Gu family would probably be busy again soon.
The two of them chatted until noon, when suddenly the maid came to report that the uncle was here. Mrs. Gu, who was lying on the couch, took Shao's hand and suddenly exerted force. The expression on her face became a little distorted due to excessive excitement.
As soon as Gu Yong entered the door, he saw Mr. Xue sitting on the chair. Before he could speak, Mr. Shao stood up and said in a soft voice, "Brother Gu, long time no see."
Gu Yong turned his head and saw a look on Shao's face, "You are..."
Shao's eyes were a little red, seeming excited but also sad, "I'm afraid Brother Gu has forgotten me a long time ago. I am Shao Yao."
"But Yaoyao?" Upon hearing that the person in front of him was an old friend, Gu Yong was so happy that he called out Shao's nickname. "
Shao's face suddenly turned red, "So Brother Gu still remembers me."
"How could I forget you."
Gu Mingmou frowned as he listened, especially when he saw Shao's eyes occasionally glancing at his mother, clearly filled with pride.
"By the way, you have been..."
"Master." Gu Yong was interrupted by Xue before he finished speaking.
Gu Yong then turned his attention to Mrs. Xue, "What's wrong, madam?"
Mrs. Xue met Gu Yong's eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Sister Shao is concerned about my mother's health. I have decided to keep my sister in the house for a while. I have plenty of time to reminisce about old times."
Gu Yong opened his mouth, turned to look at Shao, and received a gentle smile from her.
