sturdy landlady

Chapter 33 Jade Pendant
"My son will arrange everything and try to let the Ye family find out about it later." Gu Weide said in a low voice.

"Yeah!" The old lady nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand and said, "Tell the housekeeper to drive them away tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" Gu Weide responded, and hurried down to make arrangements.

……

In the Songhe Courtyard, Gu Xiaoxiao is meditating and doing exercises, absorbing the aura of Suzaku fruit in his body to enhance his internal strength.

I have to say that Suzaku is really a rare treasure of nature and earth, no wonder everyone is rushing to break their heads. Over the past month or so, with the help of Lingquan and Lingguo, she has already repaired some of her spirit roots and improved her physique. Improving like flying, I can hardly get rid of impurities, but after eating Suzaku fruit, there are still some grayish white things overflowing from my pores, although it is not as exaggerated as the impurities before, but it also shows that this fruit is very effective , the effect is significant.

Ye Shi waited outside until her daughter came out, and she was relieved.

"Xiao Xiao, your spiritual root must have recovered a little bit." Seeing that her daughter's spirit was different from before, Mrs. Ye immediately smiled.

"Well, it does work," Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"As long as it's useful, as long as it's useful! We'll buy it later when we have money." With a smile on her face, Mrs. Ye stepped forward and took Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said softly, "I've already packed the salute. The housekeeper kept urging us, wishing we could be kicked out of Gu's house early, we have to leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Is mother reluctant?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice when she saw the melancholy in the depths of her eyes.

"This place... After all, I have lived for more than ten years. There are too many memories of your father and me in this yard, but... now that your father is gone, staying here is just asking for trouble, and there is no need to wait for tomorrow , let's set off now!" Ye Shi sighed.

It's just after noon, and the weather is a bit hot today. It's actually not the right time to start now. Gu Xiaoxiao knows that her mother is a little disheartened, so she wants to leave this sad place, but...she just sent someone not long ago She went to inquire about the whereabouts of the phoenix white jade pendant bought by the crown prince, but she was a little reconciled because she hadn't gotten any news yet.

After leaving the capital, their mother and daughter couldn't come back for a short time, and it was even more difficult for him to get the jade pendant.

But without the phoenix white jade pendant, my own space cannot be upgraded, and the area of ​​the space is limited, nor can I take away the rare earths from the abandoned mine in the suburbs of Beijing, which is really a pity.

"Mother, the weather is too hot today, and my daughter still has some things to deal with. Wait for me to make some arrangements. How about we leave Gu's mansion and leave the capital for the northwest early tomorrow morning?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at her home Mother said with an apologetic face.

After all, my mother couldn't wait to leave this place, but she couldn't leave now, and she felt a little sorry.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye was slightly taken aback, then nodded, she didn't care about the half-day effort.

"Let's set off early tomorrow morning. It's cool in the morning, so we can hurry. It's a long way to the northwest. It may take us 20 days to get there by carriage. There's no rush."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she didn't want to embarrass her mother.

When it was almost time to finish the meal, Steward Tian finally came back.

"Tian Guanshi, have you found out the whereabouts of that jade pendant?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Tian Guanshi and asked a little excitedly.

"Miss Qi, the servant has already found out that His Highness the Crown Prince dedicated the white jade phoenix to the empress." Tian Guanshi quickly replied.

"The prince gave the jade pendant to the queen." Gu Xiaoxiao's face was full of surprise. She thought that the prince paid a high price of 20 taels of silver for the jade pendant to give to his future concubine Gu Liyan. Thinking that the prince actually gave it to the queen.

"It's reasonable." Ye said with a smile from the side: "Although His Highness the Crown Prince was not born to the Queen Mother himself, he was brought up by the Queen Mother alone. His Highness the Crown Prince is very filial to the Queen Mother, and completely treats the Queen Mother as a child. As a biological mother, his filial piety to the empress is no less than that of the fifth and sixth princes, and everyone in the world knows this."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded after listening.

The original owner of this body, Gu Liyan, is the prince's fan girl. She thinks that the prince is the best in everything, but Gu Xiaoxiao feels that the prince is not as gentle as jade on the surface.

Just because he swore before that he would protect her, return her innocence, and marry her, but when he turned around, he had a heated fight with the second room of the Gu family, and now he was going to marry Gu Liyan again. A double-faced man is not a good guy.

Of course, in the royal family, profit is the most important thing. She, Gu Xiaoxiao, does not have the protection of her father now. Her spiritual root has been destroyed and she has lost her "innocence". It is reasonable for the prince not to choose her.

She doesn't hate this man either, it's just that from now on, everyone will go their own way.

"What do you want that jade pendant for?" Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter and asked softly.

"It's just that I like it." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"I remember you also have a phoenix jade pendant, which was given to you by your father. It is very similar to that white jade pendant, but it is made of blood jade. It looks very beautiful." Ye said with a smile.

"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, not daring to say any more, after all... that jade pendant has already recognized her as the master and has become her spiritual space. If her mother asks herself to take it out, she really can't take it Come out, unable to explain.

"Let's eat." Ye looked at her daughter and said lovingly.

"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao quickly responded, but she was a little absent-minded.

The white jade phoenix is ​​now in the hands of the empress, the empress is the most honorable woman in the world, now he can't get close to the empress at all, for a while, he might not be able to get the phoenix jade pendant.

Gu Xiaoxiao was really unwilling, but there was no other way.

"Mother, who does the empress love the most? The fifth prince or the sixth prince?" Gu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Ye Shi and asked in a low voice.

"On the surface, it is true that the sixth prince is the most favored by the empress, but I think the empress loves the fifth prince the most. As a mother, whichever child is weaker, she will favor this child a little bit. The fifth prince has been weak and sick since he was a child. , The Empress has worked so hard for him." Ye said in a low voice.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard the words. In her impression, the sixth prince was a brave and foolish fool. Of course, he was also a bold person.

It's just that the former Gu Liyan fought with the sixth prince when she was a child, and the two of them were like enemies. If she wanted the phoenix jade pendant, of course she couldn't start with the sixth prince.
