famous eldest daughter

Chapter 104 Running away from home
In Tongyuan of Chinanhou Mansion, Gu Yuqing took Ruyi to the flower hall after breakfast to discuss matters with the housekeepers.

Regardless of the details, Gu Yuqing asked them one by one and gave clear instructions.

After everyone had been dismissed, before a cup of hot tea was finished, Jin Jue hurried over with an anxious face. As soon as he entered the flower hall, before he could salute, he said in a tearful voice: "Miss, I have neglected my duty. The second lady is missing." ”

Jin Ju's eyes were filled with great panic, and she looked at Gu Yuqing anxiously, a handkerchief in her hand was twisted into twists.

The teacup in Gu Yuqing's hand froze for a moment, and her lowered eyelashes hid the expression in her eyes. However, in just a moment, the teacup was steadily brought to her mouth, and her face was still calm and peaceful, "It's gone, it's... What's the meaning?"

Perhaps it was Gu Yuqing's calm attitude that infected Jinju, and suddenly she was not as nervous as before. Taking a deep breath, Jinju said: "Yesterday, the second lady was in a coma until midnight, and she didn't wake up after waking up." While talking, only one person stared at the gauze above his head in a daze."

"The slave girl and Luju felt something was wrong, so they came forward to ask a few questions. The second lady got up from the bed like crazy and kicked the slave girl and Luju out." As he said this, Jin Jue glanced at Ruyi who was standing next to Gu Yuqing. He glanced at her, pursed her lips, and said, "When the slaves came to report, Sister Ruyi said that the eldest lady had already gone to bed, so the slaves returned to the east courtyard and stood guard outside the second lady's door without blinking an eye."

"The second young lady cried to herself for half the night, mumbling to herself as she cried. It was almost dawn when she calmed down. The slaves thought that the second young lady was tired of crying and fell asleep, so they also fell asleep at the door."

"When the slaves woke up again, the second lady's originally locked door was wide open. The room was in a mess. Not only was the second lady not there, but all the jewelry was missing. The slaves searched all over the east side courtyard but could not find the second lady. After asking the boy at the second door, I found out that the second lady left the house shortly after dawn, and she had a cloth bag on her shoulder when she left."

At this point, Jinju pursed her dry lips, trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva to moisten her dry and sore throat, but found that her mouth was as dry as a field that had not seen rain for a long time.

Listening to Jin Jue's words, Gu Yuqing had a sneer in her eyes.

Are you running away from home?Without the Gu family, she, Gu Yuhe, could only eat grass!

"She's just having a tantrum. She'll be back soon. Don't worry. Just do what you should do." Gu Yuqing gently placed the teacup in her hand on the table and said calmly. After that, she helped Ruyi stand up. "You go back, I have other things to do here."

Jin Jue was frightened for half the night and all morning. She never expected that the eldest lady would let her go back with just a few words.

Moreover, when the eldest lady heard that the second lady had secretly left the house with Xinruan on her back, not only was she not shocked, she was not even angry, and she didn't even blink.

The eldest lady said that the second lady would be back soon, so she must be back soon.

But no matter how you put it, she and Luju were ultimately responsible for this matter, but the eldest lady did not punish them or even scold them.

Since when did the eldest lady seem to be less nervous than the second lady...

After Jin Jue left in a daze, Gu Yuqing ordered Ruyi: "You go and take over from Aunt Huang to monitor her, and let Aunt Huang come to see me."

When receiving the post from Prince Duan's Mansion, Gu Yuqing ordered Aunt Huang to pay close attention to all the movements of Prince Duan's Mansion after they left.

Ruyi promised and left, but not long after, Nanny Huang came in with a dusty face. Although she was already an older person, she still walked vigorously and energetically.

Seeing Aunt Huang and seeing that everything was fine with her, Gu Yuqing didn't say too much and went straight to the point and asked, "We left Prince Duan's Mansion yesterday. Is there anything going on at the Mansion?"

"After the eldest lady left, Princess Duan has been sitting in the courtyard of Concubine Cheng, seemingly waiting for Prince Duan to come back. However, when Prince Duan did not come back when she was younger, Princess Duan reluctantly left. The concubine's courtyard was locked from the outside." Nanny Huang's eyes flashed as she spoke in detail.

By the time she got up, Princess Duan was really eager to get rid of this concubine who had offended her for many years.

Apparently, Princess Duan didn't know that Gu Yuhe was Concubine Cheng's biological daughter.

Then who made the concubine Cheng give up her own flesh and blood to steal someone else?

I am afraid that no mother will take the initiative to give up the flesh and blood she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, unless someone forces her to do so.

With this in mind, Gu Yuqing's heart trembled slightly and doubts arose when she thought of the way Concubine Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when Princess Duan mentioned Prince Duan.

Could it be Prince Duan?

If it is really him, then what is his purpose?

More than ten years ago, someone killed dozens of members of the Gusu family in Qibei, and then frantically exchanged the concubine’s daughter for the Gu family’s legitimate son. What was he going to do!
Gu Yuqing clenched her fists with both hands and felt her blood boiling.

"Prince Duan didn't come back all night?" After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqing asked, her voice slightly hoarse.

Grandma Huang listened and felt distressed. What were other people's children doing at the age of 13, and what were the eldest ladies doing!
After taking a deep look at Gu Yuqing, Nanny Huang said, "No."

She felt pity for Gu Yuqing in every possible way, but she also knew that all she could do was to do her best to complete everything Gu Yuqing ordered. Only in this way could she truly share her worries.

"Gu Yuhe went to Prince Duan's Mansion just now!" Gu Yuqing mentioned Gu Yuhe with disdain and contempt in her eyes.

Aunt Huang nodded, with deep disgust and hatred in her eyes, "Yes, I just begged at the door for a long time and couldn't get in."

Gu Yuqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and sneered: "Of course you can't get in. Princess Duan is not a vegetarian."

Based on the [-]% or [-]% resemblance between Gu Yuhe and Concubine Cheng, and the performance of Concubine Cheng yesterday, even if Princess Duan didn't think much about it at the time, after one night, Gu Yuqing didn't believe that Princess Duan didn't have doubts in her heart.

Now that they have doubts, how can they be willing to let them meet again.

It's just a pity that she still didn't hear what Gu Yuhe said when he met Concubine Cheng yesterday.

"Miss, the concubine Cheng is the biological mother of the second young lady, right?" Although it was a question, Nanny Huang used an affirmative tone.

Gu Yuqing nodded slightly, almost invisible, without saying anything. After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqing said: "What you want to verify has been verified. You don't have to take the risk of keeping an eye on Prince Duan's Mansion. Just follow Gu Yuhe."

Aunt Huang nodded.

Gu Yuqing said again: "Also, don't call her Second Miss in front of me in the future, she doesn't deserve it!" Gu Yuqing said the last three words with gritted teeth.

There is no second young lady in the Gu family, only a young master.
