Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 284
Ling Youyao's guess was right, after Su Lingxi returned to Yuguo Gong's mansion, she got closer to Gu Shi, not to mention going to say hello every day, and even having meals with Gu Shi.

Gu's heart also understands that Su Lingxi is trying to please her, but she has no children under her knees, so she is happy to see Su Lingxi clinging to her like this.

Luo's mother, who is serving her personally, has a different opinion on this: "Ma'am, the second girl has been coming to our courtyard every day for the past two days. Although it is good to have more people to accompany you, but the words of the servant are not nice, you don't want to Strange."

Knowing what she wanted to say, Mrs. Gu said, "I understand that Xi'er comes to me every day to find someone to rely on. Now that the Duke has recognized Mu Xiaoxiao, and the Empress Dowager has also fallen ill, Xi'er will be like this. I can understand it. Xi'er's biological mother died young, and I have no children, since she is willing to call me mother, I should protect her."

"You, it's just that your ears are too soft," Luo's mother sighed, "You treat the second girl sincerely, but it doesn't mean that people are willing to call you mother!"

Let's not talk about whether Su Lingxi is sincere or not, just because of her current reputation, no matter who she is, she would not want to see her.

Mrs. Gu took off the hairpin from her sideburns, sighed and said, "I don't understand what you said? It's just that I can't bear children. It's a blessing to be able to stay in the Duke's mansion so far. Even if Xi'er is not sincere to me, as long as she It’s also good to call me mother.”

Speaking of the child, Mrs. Gu felt somewhat regretful.

At the beginning, she was considered a high marriage when she married into Duke Yu's mansion. Although it was a continuation, Su Lingxi was still young and a daughter at that time, so it was fine.She originally thought that she would have a carefree life if she had a son and a half daughter in the future, but who thought that the world would be unpredictable, so she couldn't keep her two children.

Later, she hurt her body and could not conceive again.Although Su Yuming never mentioned divorcing his wife, the days when he came to her room became less and less.

Knowing that she was sorry for the Su family, Gu took the initiative to take a few concubines for Su Yuming, but for some reason, none of those concubines were pregnant.After finally waiting for a pregnant woman, she accidentally fell and lost the child.

Since then, Su Yuming has accepted his fate.

He didn't mention it, but Gu knew that he still wanted a son in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't take Mu Xiaoxiao back under pressure.

"I heard that Yan Hongjin gave birth to a son for the Duke of the country back then. I don't know if the child is still alive. If he can be found."

Luo's mother quickly interrupted her: "Madam, don't say that again! If the Duke really finds the child back, how will you deal with yourself in the house?"

"It would be fine for the Duke of the State to adopt that child under your name, but his mother is Miss Yan's family, let alone adopting, it would be difficult for him to call you mother—"

Mother Luo's worry is not unreasonable. Everyone in the Yan family is proud, so how can they recognize other people as mothers?

The Gu family said: "But I heard that the Duke will invite the elders of the clan to visit the mansion tomorrow to discuss the matter of Mu Xiaoxiao's genealogy. Yan Hongjin didn't pass the family back then, and Qi Nianrou died young. After thinking about it, I think The Duke will still remember Mu Xiaoxiao under my name."

"Madam, do you agree?"

"What do you disagree with?" Gu smiled.

"Although Mu Xiaoxiao has been in a brothel, she was also a lady of an official family before she became a lowly citizen. If fate hadn't tricked her, she should be like Xi'er, raised and raised by golden branches and jade leaves. That day, the Duke took When she came back, the first time I saw her, I felt that she was not as bad as the outside world said, and she was scheming."

While combing her hair, Mother Luo said: "I have met many people, and when I first met, I felt that Miss Mu's altar is clear, her eyes are transparent, and she has no air of dust."

"Mu Xiaoxiao is really good," Gu said along her black hair, "I'm just worried that if the Duke really adopts her under my name, Xi'er's side."

At this moment, there was a very light knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Gu asked loudly.

But the man outside didn't answer, just insisted on knocking on the door.

The master and the servant looked at each other, Mother Luo understood, she put down the comb and went to open the door. When she saw someone coming, she was startled and almost screamed out in fright.

"You, how could you be you?!"

Gu Shi heard something wrong, got up and walked over: "What's wrong? It's so late, who is it—"

After seeing who was coming, she reacted more intensely than mother Luo, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she couldn't believe it: "Tong'er? You, you are still alive"

The maid named Tong'er had tears in her eyes, rushed in the door, knelt down in front of Mrs. Gu, and cried, "Ma'am, Tong'er finally sees you!"

Mrs. Gu was so shocked by the scene in front of her that she was speechless. Who would have thought that Tong'er, who died five years ago, would suddenly knock on her door tonight and tell her a shocking secret? ?
Su Yuming invited the elders of the Su family to the mansion to discuss the matter of Mu Xiaoxiao's entry into the genealogy, and he did not deliberately conceal it, so it soon spread to the Queen Mother's ears.

The Empress Dowager, who had just recovered in spirit, felt that her chest was constricted and she couldn't breathe after hearing the news, and her face also turned blue.

Fu Yunchuo said: "Mother, you can lie down with peace of mind, don't worry about Duke Yu's mansion for now."

The queen mother held her hand tightly, her cloudy eyes were full of unwillingness: "As long as the Ai family lives for a day, I will never... let the Yan family enter the gate of my Su family!"

"Uncle just invited the clan elders to the mansion. Whether Mu Xiaoxiao can really return to the Su family is still uncertain. Why should you worry?"

"What do you know?" The queen mother said angrily, "The Ai family has done so much over the years just to preserve the Su family's century-old foundation, and now the Yan family must not be destroyed!"

Fu Yunchuo couldn't understand, so he said helplessly, "Could it be that you want to drag this sick body to Duke Yu's mansion?"

"Ai's family can't go, but you can. Ah Chuo, you go to Yuguo's mansion for the queen mother, you must stop all this!" The queen mother was a little excited and couldn't help coughing.

Fu Yunchuo had no choice but to cover her with the quilt, saying: "My son, go now, you can rest for a while, don't make any more fuss!"

With these words, the queen mother can finally close her eyes with peace of mind.

Fu Yunchuo led people out of the palace, and when he arrived at Duke Yuguo's mansion, he happened to catch up with Su Yuming and all the elders of the Su family sitting in the main hall.

Seeing the arrival of the eldest princess, everyone felt confident.Although Su Yuming is now the head of Duke Yuguo's mansion, he still has to act according to the Empress Dowager's face, doesn't he?Between the two, which is more important, these old guys who are smarter than foxes naturally understand.

There is no need for Fu Yunchuo to say a word, the matter of adding Mu Xiaoxiao's name to the Su family tree - impossible!

Hearing this result, Su Yuming was not surprised, but he pretended to argue for a while before giving up.

Su Lingxi had been hiding outside the courtyard and eavesdropping. After learning the final result, she sneered: "Father was deceived by Mu Xiaoxiao, but someone in the Su family is always sober."

Just as she was complacently pulling back the round, Mrs. Gu suddenly brought someone over here.

Su Lingxi didn't evade, and walked forward with a smile: "Mother, why are you here?"

In the past, Mrs. Gu would always greet her with a smile, but this time, Mrs. Gu's eyes were surprisingly cold, even mixed with a trace of hatred.
