famous eldest daughter

Chapter 77 Little Treasure
The breeze gradually picked up, and the poplar leaves at the base of the wall were rustling.

Listening to Mother Jiang's shocking but unquestionable words, Gu Yuqing's heart seemed to be filled with thousands of troops galloping past. Her mind was in chaos, with all kinds of thoughts coming to her, but she couldn't grasp the clue.

Gu Yuhe's legs were white and there were no black and blue ring-shaped birthmarks.

She really... has a younger brother, and Gu Yuhe is indeed not her biological sister.

The truth came so unexpectedly that Gu Yuqing felt as if her chest was pinched hard by a rough hand, which made her tremble all over in pain.

Could it be that the mother died suddenly because she was stimulated by knowing the truth?

Suspicion rose to the top of my mind, as if it had taken root and would never go away.

Does the father know this?
Also, why has she never heard anyone discuss or leak this matter in her ears after so many years? No one in the house sincerely respects Gu Yuhe's status as the second young lady of the Gu family!
Chaotic thoughts passed through his heart, and Gu Yuqing suddenly grasped something.

It seemed that no one who had entered the delivery room back then, whether they were those who delivered the babies or those who helped with the delivery, were no longer in the Gu Mansion.

The midwife was taken out of the palace by her father, so she naturally had to return to the palace.

What about the servants of the Gu family? Where did they go? When did they leave the Gu family? Who asked them to leave? Why did they leave...

A series of questions surged up like a river bursting its banks, but they also gave Gu Yuqing a rough guess.

"Why didn't Mother Jiang go back later?" Gu Yuqing tried her best to calm down. At the very least, she could maintain her composure on the surface.

Mother Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "My son is very ill and has been ill for more than a month. Madam felt sorry for me and not only gave me the deed of sale for free, but also rewarded me with 100 taels of silver, so that I can take care of me at home." family."

Speaking of Madam's good news, Mother Jiang's eyes turned red again, and she couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out to be the case.

When Gu Yuqing thought of the past, the twinkle in her mother's eyes whenever she asked about her whereabouts, Gu Yuqing became more certain of her guess.

This is probably all Mother Jiang knows about this matter, so there is no point in asking further.

Gu Yuqing suppressed her emotions and looked around Jiang's mother's yard.

The courtyard is not big, but it is kept extremely clean and tidy. There is a vegetable garden in the northwest corner. At this time, it is the time when the green seedlings are gradually growing up. It is green and full of vitality.

When the courtyard pulled a clothes line, and hanging clothes and sheets that were still dripping, Gu Yuqing saw a few children's clothes at a glance, smiled and asked, "Mother Jiang is a grandmother?"

Following Gu Yuqing's pointing, Mother Jiang also looked at the clothes.

Mentioning the grandson, Jiang's mother's depression was diluted a lot, she nodded with a kind smile on her face and said, "Yes, I am four years old now, so naughty and naughty, I either go down the river or climb up the tree all day long."

Such a naughty child can't stand loneliness the most. At this time, the courtyard is so peaceful and quiet, obviously he is not there.

Zhiqiu's younger brother went to study, maybe he went too.

Gu Yuqing guessed and smiled: "Going to school?"

Mother Jiang nodded, "Well, there is a teacher in the village. I heard he is very knowledgeable. He is just messing around at home. It is better to follow him to study and learn to read."

Mother Jiang's tone was brisk, and Gu Yuqing knew from the sound that Mother Jiang had been living a relatively prosperous life in recent years.

After chatting for a while, Mother Jiang did not see the turmoil in Gu Yuqing's heart from Gu Yuqing's seemingly calm face.

As he was talking, the door was pushed open with a bang, or kicked open.

Gu Yuqing immediately looked towards the door and saw a child wearing an azure cloth coat rushing in.

The little short legs ran with great vigor. While running, he took the schoolbag that was supposed to be on his shoulders in his hand and waved it over his head in a "swish", still plausibly saying, "The king is back, Come and pick me up quickly! Eat my old grandson!"

He ran all the way to a place half a foot away from Mother Jiang, stopped suddenly, and stood there with his hands on his hips and his head held high. Only then did he see a stranger sitting opposite Mother Jiang. His big eyes blinked, and his little face suddenly turned red. .

Although he was shy, he was not timid because it was his own family. "Who are you and why are you in my house?" He pointed at Gu Yuqing and asked, with a pair of bright black eyes, like a little bully.

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and was about to speak when Mother Jiang, who turned pale after being frightened by him, immediately stood up and slapped him on the butt.

Although the sound was loud, Gu Yuqing knew that it didn't hurt.

Knowing that Mother Jiang was afraid that the child would collide with her and make her unhappy, Gu Yuqing hurriedly stopped her, "Mother Jiang, you don't have to be like this."

As he said that, he took off a bracelet on his hand and said, "It's my first time here, so I don't have any suitable gift for meeting you. I'll give you this bracelet."

Mother Jiang was about to decline, but the child pursed her lips and said with an unhappy face: "I have no sincerity at all. I am a boy, but you gave me a bracelet. Didn't you make it clear that you don't want to give me something?"

Gu Yuqing suddenly laughed.

Mother Jiang stood by and listened with fear, "Little ancestor, what are you talking about? It's your dignity when the lady gives you something..."

Gu Yuqing knew exactly what Mother Jiang was going to say next, and quickly stopped her, "Mother Jiang, I'm here, no one knows my identity."

After hearing this, Mother Jiang immediately understood what Gu Yuqing meant, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I lost my words, Miss..."

Gu Yuqing smiled and shook her head, "In front of the child, Mother Jiang, don't talk about slave girls or anything like that. He is still young. Besides, didn't my mother return your bond of sale to you?"

In Mother Jiang's heart, she will be the slave of the Gu family for the rest of her life, and Gu Yuqing will be her eldest lady for the rest of her life.

She was not allowed to call herself slave or eldest lady for a while, and she didn't know how to speak.

Gu Yuqing ignored Mother Jiang and said to the little boy, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaobao, and my given name is Zhou Yanshun." Xiaobao said proudly, raising his face.

The teacher said that his name has a very good meaning and is a rare good name. Thinking of the envious eyes of his friends when his teacher said this, the pride in Xiaobao's eyes became even stronger.

Gu Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, and was shocked.

Zhou Yanshun!
This name that was unforgettable to him coexisted with another name called Zhou Qingde.

"Who are you, Zhou Qingde?" Gu Yuqing held the handkerchief in her hand and asked Xiaobao.

Jiang's mother was suddenly surprised. Hey, how did the eldest lady know Qingde's name?
"He is my father. My father got my name from him. My father is a very knowledgeable man." Xiaobao's voice was very loud.

He didn't know if his father was really knowledgeable, but Mr. said that he was able to give him such a good name, which showed that the person who chose the name was knowledgeable.

If the teacher said he has knowledge, then he must have it.
