famous eldest daughter

Chapter 610 Questions
When grandma heard this, her brows did not move. She avoided Gu Yuqing's topic and said with a smile: "Young lady rushed all the way from Kyoto to Wangjiazhuang. Could it be that she wanted to chat with me about old things in Shandong? I heard the chief say, Miss, you want to buy the jade pendant handed down from my ancestors?"

She dropped the subject and avoided talking about it.

But the surprise and doubt in Gu Yuqing's heart became more and more clear and intense, which is something that grandma can put aside if she wants to.

But since they didn't mention it, she couldn't ask again.

I didn't see the expected mood swings on my grandma's face. Disappointed, I had to suppress my excitement and shock, nodded and said, "I wonder if grandma can let me take a look at this jade pendant first?"

Tianji once said that the current owner of the jade pendant, which is also an ancient divine object, is in a poor financial situation and cannot even afford milk... If this family is really inextricably linked to Mei Fei, or maybe this owner , she is simply Concubine Mei...

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing's already tight heart twitched even more.

Are they living in a miserable family situation?
After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, grandma put away her concealed and natural deep gaze, stood up with a smile, "This is natural, miss, wait a moment."

After that, he turned around and entered the back room.

Gu Yuqing felt uneasy for a while while condensing the small half bucket of milk that Ji Xiang placed in front of her knees.

Today, she came here originally to find jade and "marry a daughter-in-law" for her family, but at this time, she had no thoughts at all. She was completely occupied by the identity of this family, and strong thoughts surged in her heart , Concubine Mei is not dead, Xiao Yan is not dead.

She can be resurrected from the dead, and Mei Fei and Xiao Yan are still alive...it is not impossible.

His thoughts were rolling, and his fingertips were cold to the bone due to the shock of his emotions.

When she was lost in thought, grandma opened the curtain and came back. Although she was an elderly person, her walking, pace and posture were all in strict accordance with the rules. She was not like a village woman who had been fettered by farm work for many years. In this way, to say that she is the mother in charge of a wealthy family is to underestimate her status, that is, the old woman in the palace. At this age, she can abide by the rules that she has long been accustomed to and have become natural. .

The old aunt in the palace... her thoughts flashed by like lightning. When Gu Yuqing looked at her grandma again, there was a twinkling light in her eyes.

On that day, Concubine Mei was executed. In addition to the entire Mei family being exterminated, an elderly palace maid who had served her disappeared mysteriously from the palace shortly after Concubine Mei passed away.

At that time, this matter caused an uproar in the palace, the queen even searched Concubine Hui's bedroom several times because of Concubine Mei and Concubine Hui's closeness, but it was in vain.

If the emperor hadn't stopped her, the queen would have sent Concubine Hui to the Criminal Division for rigorous questioning that day.

At the time of the incident, Gu Yuqing was only a few years old and could not remember much at all. The fragments that she can remember now are all derived from her mother's private murmurs with Aunt Huang. She was by her mother's side and could hear If there are too many, I will remember them.

Even though when Concubine Mei was still alive, her mother would always go to Concubine Mei's place to sit for a while whenever she brought her into the palace, but she had no memory of the appearance of the maid in front of Concubine Mei.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Grandma sat down and handed the jade pendant in her palm to Gu Yuqing, "Here, this is the jade pendant. Take a look, miss. Is it still..."

The palm of her hand was originally stable, and the jade pendant was placed squarely in the center of her palm. But somehow, following her words, the palm came to Gu Yuqing for a moment, and the jade pendant on her palm seemed to be alive, bouncing on its own. Normally, it suddenly slipped from her palm.

The falling posture is extremely strange.

Grandma's voice suddenly stopped. She had been looking like she was drowning from the beginning to the end. The moment the jade pendant fell, she suddenly jumped up from the chair. Her old body involuntarily rushed forward, and she let out a startled sound in her throat. Phew, his eyes were staring straight at the jade pendant.

Gu Yuqing was also frightened by this sudden change. Before she could react, she watched the jade pendant fall into the milk bucket on her lap.

Tianji's words suddenly rang in his ears. Tianji said that this ancient jade pendant always likes to eat milk...

It seems that this jade pendant is really the piece Tianji wants!

After thinking about it, Gu Yuqing's frightened heart calmed down. She raised her eyes to look at her grandma again, only to see that her face was pale and her mouth was trembling. Her eyes were fixed on the milk bucket, and the jade pendant fell from her hand. She subconsciously reached for it with her backhand. action.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yuqing's mind moved slightly, and said: "Since this jade pendant is so important to you, why did you think of selling it?"

As Gu Yuqing's words came to mind, the color on Grandma's face gradually returned, but her body was unstable due to her old age. She fell back heavily and hid her emotions, saying: "Other people come, of course I won't sell it. , the eldest lady from the Chinanhou Mansion is here, and this jade pendant is for sale."

As she said that, when Gu Yuqing frowned, she took a breath and said: "It can't be said to be for sale. The lady can take this jade pendant herself, but she wants to tell my mother-in-law the truth." question."

Gu Yuqing's eyes flashed with light. Seeing that grandma's expression had returned to its original state, she said, "Grandma, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you everything I can answer."

His eyes passed over Gu Yuqing, and he glanced at the milk bucket in front of her knees, sighed quietly, and the grandmother said: "Forget it, Xu Dang is really arranged by God!"

The mystery of what she said was so mysterious that Gu Yuqing couldn't understand what it meant. Before Gu Yuqing could react, Grandma raised her eyes and looked directly at Gu Yuqing, with a solemn expression on her face, and said: "In the palace right now, who is in charge of the Sixth Palace, or the Queen?"

As soon as her question came out, the excitement that Gu Yuqing had so easily suppressed was like an earthquake and tsunami erupting at the same time. The blood all over her body was boiling, rushing through her body, and the backflow of blood made her head buzz.

This village woman, grandma, opened her mouth to ask about the affairs of the palace.

Even if there was no suspicion before, Gu Yuqing would be suspicious now, not to mention that he was already uneasy before.

Staring at the almost graceful grandma in front of him, Gu Yuqing asked instead, "Is grandma an old member of the palace?"

Upon hearing Gu Yuqing's words, grandma's expression became confused for a moment, as if a dusty gauze brushed her eyes. The next moment, it became clear again and she said: "Miss, just answer my questions. Miss asked too many questions." , I may not answer, it’s just a waste of time.”

As she spoke, a sly smile appeared on her face, "Today, the young lady came to ask for this jade pendant. I think she is bound to get it. The Marquis of Chinan has always acted appropriately and has no precedent of using power to bully others. Today, my old lady can probably rely on this jade pendant." The weight of the jade pendant in the young lady's heart is quite threatening."

Her words are straightforward, but they don't make people feel the slightest resentment, but they feel that she is open-minded.
