The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 288 What You Said, But Really?
The old lady and Gu Changgeng left the willow garden. After walking for a short distance, she stopped and turned to look at Gu Changgeng.

Gu Changgeng said: "Old madam, speak up if you have something to say."

The old lady nodded: "Then the old man will not have to go around with Commander Gu anymore."

"Madam, please speak."

The old lady sighed softly, and said: "After the accident in the General's Mansion, Commander Gu has been raised by the Prime Minister's Mansion. Over the years... the Prime Minister's Mansion has not treated you badly, Qingqian even treats you like a brother, but after all, it is a man and a woman. Do you understand what the old man means?"

Gu Changgeng pursed the corners of his lips and remained silent.

The old lady simply made her words clearer, "Qingqian has always been carefree and simple-minded. She regards you as her elder brother and gets close to you. Sometimes she forgets to avoid taboos, but she will soon grow old. When she reaches the age of marriage, if she is Some rumors spread by someone with a heart will damage her reputation, as an older brother, you should think about her, and pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future, understand?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes drooped slightly, the old lady couldn't figure out his thoughts, after a while, he said: "Don't worry, old lady, Chang Geng understands."

The old lady nodded: "Well...it's getting late, and you just returned home, go back and rest."

Gu Changgeng bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Seeing that the person was gone, Zhang Momo dared to ask in a low voice: "Old Madam, do you suspect..."

There was a hint of warning in the eyes of the old lady, Zhang Nanny immediately swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, she sighed, and said: "Qingqian, this child has no sense, and he will leave the prime minister's mansion in the future, what should I do? There is Qingrou..."

The more she thought about it, the more the old lady felt a headache. She rubbed her swollen forehead, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk, let's go back to Jinglan Garden first."

"Yes, old lady."

……

Hedge garden.

Uncle Gu didn't fall asleep all this time, and was waiting for Gu Changgeng to come back. As soon as he came back, he immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Master, you're back. How is Miss San? Are you feeling better?"

Gu Changgeng said: "No problem."

"That's good. The old slave is still worried...Young master, you don't look very well. Are you tired after rushing back from the palace? The old slave has already tidied up your bedroom. You should rest quickly."

Gu Changgeng: "No, I have some things to deal with, Gu Bo, go and rest, I'll go to the study."

"But……"

Before Gu Bo finished speaking, Gu Changgeng had already stepped into the study and closed the door.

Uncle Gu frowned, looking thoughtfully at the study with the door closed.

Isn't the young master still doing well when he came back just now?Why did you go to Liuyuan to see the third lady and came back, and you looked all wrong?
in the library.

Gu Changgeng sat quietly in front of the desk, his chiseled handsome face turned pale, and what Lin Qingqian said with firm eyes just now came to mind.

"I regard elder brother Chang Geng as my real elder brother! In my heart, he is no different from second elder brother!"

He suddenly remembered the warm touch of his own lip injury, no longer nervous and excited, his body was as cold as ice, and the flowing blood seemed to be frozen.

After an unknown amount of time, he moved his stiff body, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "No...she said it on purpose because the old lady was present, in case she might misunderstand, it must be so, it must be so... ..."

He repeated it several times, as if he was confirming it, more like he was telling himself.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Qingqian didn't sleep well that night, she was worried that Gu Changgeng would be punished by the old lady, and she couldn't sleep. As soon as the sky was bright, she asked Chun Xia Qiu Dong to come in to wash and make up for her.

"Did you hear anything this morning?"

"Miss Hui, no, what happened last night, the old lady warned the people present at that time, no one dared to mention it."

Lin Qingqian frowned, "I didn't ask about this, I mean, did you hear about Chang Geng's brother, he left with grandma last night, will grandma punish him?"

Chun Xia shook his head, "Shouldn't have. This servant went to the front yard this morning, but I didn't hear anyone mention it."

Lin Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief.

After dressing up, Lin Qingqian said: "Chun Xia, let's go, let's go to Liyuan."

Chun Xia had a bitter face, "Miss, are you going to Liyuan now? You haven't had breakfast yet, and it was only last night..."

"No need to say too much! Brother Chang Geng and I are innocent. Grandma believes in me. No one dares to gossip behind my back. Besides, I will return as soon as I go. When I return, I will go to Jinglan Garden to pay my respects to grandma."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Hedge garden.

Lin Qingqian asked: "Uncle Gu, is Brother Chang Geng up yet?"

"Miss San." Upon seeing the ceremony, Uncle Gu said with a puzzled face, "The young master went into the study after he came back from the Willow Garden last night. He said he had some things to deal with, but he hasn't come out yet."

Lin Qingqian frowned upon hearing this.

She said: "Uncle Gu, I'm going to see Brother Chang Geng."

"Okay, Miss San, you can go."

Lin Qingqian went to Gu Changgeng's study with familiarity, and stood outside the door. She raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly, "Brother Changgeng? Brother Changgeng... are you inside?"

After shouting a few times, the study was quiet and there was no response. She muttered, "Could it be that you're not in there?"

Lin Qingqian turned her head to Chunxia and said, "You wait outside, I'll go in and have a look."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Qingqian pushed open the door and went inside, and found Gu Changgeng sitting in front of the desk, his eyes drooping slightly, he was thinking about something, he didn't know that she came in, and he was sitting there motionless.

She called softly, "Brother Chang Geng?"

Gu Changgeng still didn't respond.

She walked over and waved her hand in front of Gu Changgeng, "Brother Changgeng, what are you thinking?"

Gu Changgeng grabbed Lin Qingqian's wrist violently, with such force that she let out a muffled groan in pain, before he came back to his senses, let go quickly, and said anxiously: "Qingqian, are you alright? I was distracted just now. I didn't notice it was you."

Lin Qingqian rubbed her sore wrist, smiled, "It's nothing, but brother Chang Geng, what are you thinking? I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond."

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes and asked without answering, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng suspiciously, "Didn't we agree last night to go to Taohua Village together today to meet Grandpa Feng?"

"……Um."

Seeing that Gu Changgeng remembered it, Lin Qingqian continued: "I will go and tell my grandmother, I will go out to find Yingxue, you go out of the mansion first, we will meet at the place where we used to rent horses, and then we will go out of the city to Taohua Village together. "

"it is good."

Lin Qingqian observed Gu Changgeng without any trace, and felt that something was wrong with him. After thinking about it, she asked, "Brother Changgeng, what did grandma say to you last night?"

Gu Changgeng looked up at her, and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Gu Changgeng didn't want to say it, and Lin Qingqian couldn't ask further questions, so she said, "Then I'll go back to Liuyuan first, and we'll meet outside the mansion in half an hour."

Lin Qingqian was about to leave when Gu Changgeng suddenly said, "Wait!"

Lin Qingqian turned her head, "Brother Chang Geng, is there anything else?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes were deep, he stared at Lin Qingqian, his thin lips moved slightly, and he said with difficulty, "Last night in Liuyuan... what you said was true?"

"what I said?"

"You said you regard me as your brother..."

Gu Changgeng's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible expectation, Lin Qingqian's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that what did the old lady say to Gu Changgeng?
Lin Qingqian was impatient, afraid that what the old lady said would cause a rift in their hearts, so she didn't have time to think about it, she paused every word, and said very seriously: "It's true! I regard Brother Chang Geng as my real brother, there is absolutely no falsehood!"
