Ms. Xue kept staring at her. When she saw her daughter's expression, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She put her hand on her wrist and said suddenly, "Tongtong, have you seen Qi Lang recently?"
Gu Mingmou avoided his mother's questioning gaze and shook his head.
"Tell mother, has something happened?" Xue's hand tightened on her wrist, and her tone was a little more worried.
Gu Mingmou really wanted to tell all the things she had experienced without hesitation, but she couldn't tell them at first, and she couldn't tell them now.
Her mother may be able to understand her and comfort her, but after all, she is only one person and can't do anything. It would be better not to know in the first place than to say it and let the two people suffer together.
"Mom, where are you thinking? It's just that Brother Qi has been busy with errands recently and hasn't been here for a long time, and my daughter also heard... I heard that Princess Anyang who first came to the capital is Brother Qi's sweetheart."
Gu Mingmou didn't know much about the outside news. At least she had never noticed the existence of Princess Anyang in her previous life. If she and Princess Xin'an hadn't taken "all kinds of care" along the way, she might not have noticed these clues, so she wouldn't have noticed. Hui asked Prince Heng one more question, and finally got an unexpected answer.
Mrs. Xue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this answer. She frowned and thought for a moment, "Princess Anyang, is she the legitimate daughter of the King of Jin?"
"That's her. Her name is Shen Ying. She has an outstanding appearance. She was also on the boat to Xiling."
Xue was silent for a while before speaking, "Who told you these things?"
Gu Mingmou opened her mouth. Sure enough, she wanted to convince her mother with just one sentence. It was impossible. She murmured, "Daughter, listen to what those maids said in private."
Seeing her daughter's uneasy expression, Mrs. Princess Anyang, that was a long time ago. Wasn't he right after you got engaged? Would you rather believe what outsiders say than him?"
Gu Ming's eyes were silent, and after a long time he lowered his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong."
"You're right, you're just too young. No matter how good Qi Lang is to you, he is still the prince of the Hou family. Some of his words are not true.
You can't talk nonsense about evidence. If you really think that they were not innocent before, you have to find evidence. At least then your mother can make your decision openly. "It was Xue's last words that really made Gu Mingmou freeze in place. She always thought that her mother trusted Qi Lang, but she didn't know that in her mother's heart, everyone ranked behind her.
"Mother... do you believe me?"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "You are my daughter, of course I trust you." There was another sentence she did not say, Qi Lang was very good, just like Gu Yong back then.
But Gu Yong betrayed his previous oath, and no matter how good Qi Lang is now, it cannot represent the future. A woman will never understand the bad nature of a man. It took her many, many years to understand why a man who keeps saying he loves him will turn around and let another woman in.
The marriage was decided on firstly because Mrs. Hou had a close relationship with her, and Qi Lang's child was indeed outstanding, but secondly it was to gain a foothold in the Gu family. But if all of this was based on her daughter's sacrifice, she would definitely not agree.
Her daughter's current abnormality may be a sign that maybe she should re-examine that outstanding young man.
Gu Mingmou was suddenly relieved by Xue's attitude. She had been worried that one day she would break up with Qi Lang and break her mother's heart. Now it seems that there is no room for relaxation.
As for the evidence... Well, it might have been difficult before, but now it's easy. It's just that raising a woman outside is just a trivial matter to many people. Even if it gets too big, the engagement may not be broken off. It's just a joke.
Since Qi Lang is so inseparable from Xiu Ye, she will let the two of them cultivate their relationship well, and it is best not to be separated in this life, otherwise how can they be worthy of Qi Lang's painstaking efforts to hide it for two lifetimes.
Before everything was settled, Gu Mingmou was unwilling to mention Qi Lang to her mother, and Xue didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Gu Mingmou sent all the maids out of the room and then took out the things in his hands.
Mrs. Xue took the letter from her daughter with some doubts, opened it and took a cursory glance, then raised her eyebrows.
"This is… "
"My daughter asked someone to check on her younger brother's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang. Who would have thought that these interesting things would be found out? My daughter was worried that her father would know about it.
If you can't bear it anymore, you might as well come to your mother first. "Gu Mingmou was always worried when she said these words. She didn't know if her mother would get to the bottom of it. Even if she was asked, it was absolutely impossible to tell the truth, but she didn't want to lie.
Gu Mingmou handed the written letter to Mr. Xue. After taking it, Ms. Xue read it carefully. After reading it, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She closed the letter and looked at her daughter seriously, "I don't ask where you got these from, but are you sure about this?"
Gu Ming lowered his eyes, not looking directly at Mr.
Mrs. Xue nodded secretly. Although she was a little worried about her daughter mastering things that no one knew about, when the child grows up, there will always be secrets that she doesn't know about. It has to be said that these things are what she needs most now.
She didn't care that Gu Yong had another son, she just couldn't stop feeling sick thinking about the mother and son who wanted to step on Tongtong and her to get the upper hand after entering the house. If others make her life difficult, she will not make others feel comfortable.
Since Gu Yong insisted on carrying that woman into the house, he had to swallow this bitter pill.
Xue's face was expressionless, and Gu Mingmou couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Although my daughter has found out this, there is no witness, so my father may not believe it."
Mrs. Xue smiled and looked at her daughter tenderly, "Silly girl, as long as you have made up your mind, the so-called evidence is not that important." She and Gu Yong have known this man best over the years, and he has his own rules of conduct. , besides, some things are boring if you say them directly.
Gu Yong probably thought she had a better temper when she didn't do anything before, and he challenged her bottom line again and again, so he simply let him know it hurt this time.
After Gu Mingmou told Mrs. Xue about Ms. Zhang, she had been waiting for her mother to take action. A few days later, news came out in the house that Madam agreed to raise Mr. Gu Jingxing's biological mother, Ms. Zhang, as his aunt.
Mrs. Xue's obedience made Mrs. Gu feel very good. Although she didn't like her, she just wanted to recognize her precious grandson.
Xue's move made many servants in the house talk about it. Although Madam did not agree to record the eldest young master in her name, she did lift Aunt Zhang up. It was only a matter of time before the eldest young master would be recorded as his legitimate son.
