famous eldest daughter

Chapter 388 Wake Up
The hand holding Ruyi's sleeve had clear joints and a glow of innocence. Gu Yuqing was trembling all over and couldn't help herself. Her eyes were staring at Ruyi, full of hope, and her eyes were as bright as a broken diamond embedded in it.

Seeing Gu Yuqing like this, Ruyi's eyes flashed with distress, and she sighed helplessly.

"On the night when the young lady was kidnapped by Lu Jiuzheng in the ancestral home, His Highness the Fourth Prince arrived first. Following the clues left by the young lady, the Fourth Prince gave a brief explanation and hurriedly chased the young lady."

"His Highness could only leave for a moment when the Marquis came on horseback. Hearing that the young lady had been kidnapped, the Marquis ordered Gao Da from the Jingwei Camp to send the slaves and Jixiang back to the house, and brought Gou Shengde back with them, and handed them over to Aunt Huang for personal interrogation. , he took Minglu to chase the young lady and His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Ruyi finished speaking in one breath, paused for a moment, and said again: "This is what this servant knows. Goodbye Hou Ye. It is the time when the sky is about to dawn today. Hou Ye and Fourth Highness brought Miss back together."

At this point, Jixiang interrupted, "I heard that His Highness the Fourth Prince held the young lady all the way back from Longyang Mountain."

Ruyi nodded and continued: "Place the young lady to sleep. The Marquis called His Majesty the Fourth Highness to come to the study to talk. It took about a stick of incense before the two of them came out. After that, the Marquis went into the palace to meet His Majesty, and His Majesty the Fourth Highness probably Let's go back home."

After saying this, Ruyi took a breath, frowned and asked Gu Yuqing, "Didn't Miss see the Marquis last night?"

Gu Yuqing shook her head in shock and fell down on the stool behind her. The silk handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a rope.

It turned out that they met their father when they came down from Longyang Mountain last night.

Walking all the way back from Longyang Mountain to Chinanhou Mansion, it was such a long journey. How could she sleep so deeply that she slept until noon today... Gu Yuqing simply couldn't imagine that she would be reincarnated as a person sitting around eating and waiting. Dead pig, this sleep is nothing more than that!
After finally meeting her father, she missed it again because of her snooze. The regret in Gu Yuqing's heart was comparable to the flood on Cuiping Mountain the night before, which surged forward and made her face turn pale.

After a long silence, Gu Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Did father say when he would be back?"

If you missed last night, you must not miss today again.

Today, no matter what, she won't sleep. She must wait until her father comes back. She really misses her father so much. She wants to see what he looks like and listen to what he says.

When Ruyi heard the words, the corner of her mouth froze, and she looked towards Jixiang, their eyes met. In Jixiang's eyes, Ruyi saw a strong sadness, which was exactly the same as her mood.

After pouting several times, Ruyi finally said, "Miss, the Marquis has been ordered to go on an expedition to the Liao Kingdom. He will not be able to come back in a few months."

Ruyi felt cruel to say such words.

It has been a long time since the young lady has seen Mr. Hou. Finally, Mr. Hou came back, but one after another things happened one after another. The father and daughter were clearly very close to each other, but...

His eyes suddenly turned red and he turned his head aside, not daring to look at Gu Yuqing.

When Gu Yuqing heard this, her heart trembled. She raised her eyes and looked straight at Ruyi, only to see Ruyi turning her head to the side of the wall, with tears pouring down her cheeks.

With a sharp twitch in her heart, Gu Yuqing murmured, "You said, my father went off to war..."

The silence in the room that could hear a needle drop made Gu Yuqing's soliloquy, which was originally a low whisper, seem particularly desolate and sad.

It's always like this, you're clearly on the left and right, but you pass by and you don't see each other... God, are you teasing me on purpose?Because I have been reborn and have a new life opportunity that no one else can get, are you going to cruelly deprive me of the opportunity to see my father?

If not, why do I always fall asleep when we have the chance to meet each other?

If it was said once, it was accidental, but what about this time?

All the way from Longyang Mountain back to the Chinanhou Mansion, even if Xiao Yu was holding him in his arms, would it be silent all the way?Didn't his hands get shaky along the way?Could it be that there were countless possibilities along the way that she should have woken up halfway, but she just fell asleep until now.

Regret accompanied by resentment, tears welling up in her eyes, Gu Yuqing turned around and lay on the table beside her, crying loudly.

The longing for her father, the longing for her younger brother, and all the ins and outs of the kidnapping incident, all made her burst into tears like a river bursting.

The cry was so sad that it made people's hearts tremble. Jixiang Ruyi moved silently, walked out, and closed the bedroom door for her. As soon as she turned around, she saw Caiping bringing an older nanny over.

Ji Xiang Ruyi followed Gu Yuqing to Pingxi Prince's Mansion several times, and recognized this nanny as the old lady's personal nanny, so she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Where is your lady?" Hearing the faint cry from inside the house, grandma frowned, glanced into the room, and said, "Is it the lady who is crying?"

Ji Xiang Ruyi nodded, "The Marquis is going on an expedition, and the young lady will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't have time to see him again."

When grandma heard this, her face moved slightly, her chest rose and fell, and she sighed slightly, "When the old lady heard that your lady was back, she was worried about it and sent me over to have a look, but this..."

Jixiang Ruyi glanced at each other, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Jixiang took Grandma's hand and said: "Miss is safe and sound, she is just venting her emotions because she misses the Marquis. The old lady is getting older. Mammy, please don’t tell the old lady this, lest she get anxious and get angry and get sick again.”

Aunty nodded, "That's what I was thinking. It's just..." The tone changed, and she said: "You miss, I haven't seen you for the past few days, and the old lady is so anxious that she can't even eat. I'll wait for you." The young lady's mood has improved, it's better to go and see the old matriarch, and let her old man feel at ease."

Good luck and good luck.

Continuing to chat, the old woman glanced at the room, sighed, shook her head and left.

Because during the hairpin ceremony, Xiao Yu personally inserted the jade hairpin used by Concubine Hui into Gu Yuqing's hair. This time Gu Yuqing was kidnapped, and it was Xiao Yu who fought to save her. Even the slowest person can understand that. There is an implication in this.

For a time, many people came to the Chinanhou Mansion to visit.

However, they were all blocked by Ji Xiang Ruyi because Gu Yuqing was unwell and was resting.

After a lot of busy work, in the blink of an eye, it was dusk in the evening, and the last guest was finally sent away. Jixiang pulled Ruyi's sleeves and muttered: "The kidnapping of the young lady is obviously a secret. No one in our house has publicized it. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is considering the reputation of the young lady, and it is even more impossible to tell anyone. How do these people know about it? If you talk about it in a miscellaneous way, it seems as if they know more than the two of us!"

Ruyi snorted coldly when she heard the words, "It's not like someone took the opportunity to make trouble. This matter is beyond our ability to deal with, it's better to tell the lady as soon as possible, so as not to cause any big trouble."
