After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 423

"Open your mouth." Gu Xiao said suddenly.

"Why... um!" She just opened her mouth, and something was stuffed in by him.

A sweet taste spread in the mouth, quickly dispelling the bitterness of the medicine.

"Gu Xiao, thank you." Gu Mingzhu thanked vaguely with candied fruit in his mouth.

"Brother." Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking at her leisurely.

He found that after this meeting, the girl always called him by his first name, except in her dreams, she didn't call him brother anymore, and she didn't know why.

"I'm not calling, you're not my real brother." Gu Mingzhu blurted out.

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Gu Mingzhu reacted, a little guilty, raised her eyes, and looked at him quietly, for fear that he would get angry.

But Gu Xiao didn't seem to care about it at all. Instead, he pinched her limp cheeks and said with a sneer, "The wings have grown hard and I'm no longer needed, so you don't even want to shout?"

Gu Mingzhu knocked off his hand, rubbed his reddened face, lowered his head, and muttered softly, "I never thought of you as a brother, I just want to..."

"What do you want?" Gu Xiao bent down and looked at her sharply.

Gu Mingzhu blinked her eyes, afraid that he would see her embarrassment, and deliberately shrank back, "It's nothing. Oh, you should go quickly, don't get in my way here anymore."

Gu Xiao snorted coldly, and suddenly reached out to ruffle her hair. Before she could react, he had already walked away.

"Smelly girl, go to sleep now."

"Oh." Gu Mingzhu replied, watched him go out, and closed the door for her.

Because of Gu Xiao's departure and return, her bad mood seemed to be healed.

She patted her head, feeling that she was really hopeless.

It seemed that her emotions were all tied to Gu Xiao.

She can't go on like this.

Gu Mingzhu, tomorrow must not be like this again.

she warned herself.

The next day was sunny again.

Moreover, the weather at the border is late, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

It is hot during the day and cooler at night.

Gu Xiao went to the military camp early in the morning, and after Gu Mingzhu had breakfast, he went to the inn and brought back his burden.

After just this trip, she was hot and sweaty.

Just as he walked to the gate of the mansion, he happened to meet Gu Xiao who had just returned.

But this time, he was not alone, and Gu Ting followed behind him.

Seeing Gu Ting, Gu Mingzhu almost didn't recognize him.

Until Gu Ting yelled at her, "Pearl."

"Third, third brother?" Gu Mingzhu looked at him in surprise, "Why haven't I seen you for several months, you seem to be a different person?"

Hearing this, Gu Ting puffed out his chest, and said happily, "How about it, do you think the third brother has become more powerful?"

"It's more like a person." Gu Mingzhu said seriously.

Gu Ting: "..."

Gu Xiao laughed out loud, and slapped him on the back of the head, "Mingzhu is right, she is more like a human being."

Gu Ting felt that he had been greatly hurt.

What does it mean to look like a person now, and what did he look like before?
"You two still hate it just the same." He snorted, patted the watermelon in his arms, and said to Gu Mingzhu, "I knew you were here, so I brought you a watermelon here, it's really blinding me Kindness."

Seeing the watermelon in his arms, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help swallowing.

She likes eating watermelon best.

In previous years in the capital, she would eat watermelon to cool off the heat throughout the summer, especially the iced watermelon juice, which was the most delicious.

But this year, she hasn't had a bite of watermelon yet.

Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

She couldn't help shaking Gu Ting's arm like a dog, "Third Brother, you are the best."

Gu Ting: "..."

Gu Mingzhu had never been coquettish to him before, and now that she was shaking his arm, he felt a little swayed.

"The sweetest and most delicious meat in the middle is all for you." He blurted out.

"I knew the third brother was the best." Gu Mingzhu smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.

Gu Xiao stroked his forehead.

This girl is really a foodie.

He carried the watermelon from Gu Ting's arms with one hand, and went straight into the mansion.

"Brother, save some watermelon for me." Gu Mingzhu quickly chased after him.

Gu Xiao almost tripped over the threshold.

Sure enough, with watermelon to eat, even my brother was willing to shout.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

In order to taste better, Gu Mingzhu held back her greed and told Gu Xiao to soak the watermelon in the well water for half an hour before scooping it up and eating it.

Gu Xiao obeyed her.

While waiting for the watermelon to cool down, Gu Mingzhu, Gu Xiao, and Gu Ting sat in the study and chatted.

"Mingzhu, why did you come to the border all of a sudden?" Gu Ting asked while nibbling melon seeds.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu put down the hand supporting her chin, fell silent for a moment, and looked up at Gu Xiao.

Seeing that his expression was normal and there was nothing unusual, she felt a little at a loss. Could it be that he didn't receive the letter from Mr. Fu?
Facing Gu Ting's curious gaze, she thought for a while, and finally said: "Some time ago, something happened in our family."

"What's the matter?" Gu Ting saw that her complexion was different, so he stopped eating melon seeds and looked at her seriously.

Gu Mingzhu told the two of what happened during that time.

After listening to what she said, Gu Xiao looked as usual, but Gu Ting stood up in shock and looked at her in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me?"

"Of course not, everything I said is true." Gu Mingzhu hurriedly said, "Third Brother, you and Second Brother...all were bought by Aunt Liu from outside."

Gu Ting's eyes widened in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.

Aunt Liu is not their biological mother, and they are not the children of the Gu family...

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help looking at Gu Xiao, "Gu Xiao, don't you think this is too ridiculous? It's just that Gu Yan and I are not children of the Gu family, why even you..."

Gu Xiao lifted his lips and smiled, and said indifferently: "So what if it's not, don't tell me you don't recognize me as an elder brother from now on?"

Gu Ting was startled, and stared at him blankly.

Gu Mingzhu reacted, and said: "Gu Xiao is right, no matter what, we will always be a family, and you are still my third brother."

Gu Ting came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Just a few months ago, he and Aunt Liu were trying to kill them.

Thinking about it, he blushed, "I, I don't deserve it."

"Is there anything worthy or not?" Gu Mingzhu frowned.

"It's true, I used to be a jerk, and I said a lot of bad things about you behind my back, and I wanted to hurt you..." Gu Ting explained anxiously, and then his voice became quieter.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, she actually knew it in her heart, but now she heard him admit it, she still couldn't help being curious, "How do you want to harm us?"

Gu Ting looked at her, then at Gu Xiao, swallowed, and said with some embarrassment: "At that time, I thought you two were having an affair, so I wanted to use this matter to make a fuss and ruin your reputation. , making Gu Xiao unable to be the prince of the Duke's Mansion..."

Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened, "Why are you so bad?"

Gu Ting lowered his head, feeling ashamed, and said embarrassingly: "At that time, you two didn't like it..."

Gu Mingzhu: "..."
