Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 258
After a while, she leaned gently on Ruan Shi's shoulder, and said softly, "Mother, I believe my brother will not harm me."

Gu Qingfan, whose back was a little stiff because of Ruan's reprimand, suddenly smiled slightly, and explained in a low voice, "Mother, I didn't risk Wan Qing, as long as the second prince wants to take me under his command, he must treat Wan Qing kindly, no Any unfavorable actions may be taken against Wan Qing. Moreover, I will also express to the second prince in due course."

"You...are you going to support Yan Kuo?" Ruan hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Qing Fan, Yan Kuo is too suspicious, and his methods are too vicious, so he is actually not suitable for that position."

"Mother, Your Majesty has four princes in total. I don't know who will win the battle." About this point, because it was on the busy street, Gu Qingfan didn't explain it carefully to Ruan Shi, but said with a smile After saying a word, he leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.

Ruan is also a person with a very active mind. After thinking about it for a while, she stopped asking about these things, but grabbed Gu Wanqing's hand, and said urgently, "Qingqing, come and live with me?"

After finishing speaking, seeing Bai Shao in a daze, she changed her tone and said, "It's fine if I live with you... I just don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment."

"This..." Bai Shao frowned in embarrassment, "Why don't you come back with me..."

Before the phrase "You come back to the mansion with me", Gu Qingfan opened his eyes in time and stopped her, "Wan Qing, you should go live with your mother in the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Bai Shao blinked, at first she didn't understand why Gu Qingfan said that, but she quickly realized that for the Ruan family, Gu's mansion was equivalent to a sad place.

If she was asked to look back at the mansion again, it would remind her of all the past, which would undoubtedly be a kind of harm to the Ruan family.

So after a moment of silence, Bai Shao nodded.

Ruan smiled joyfully, held Bai Shao's hand and refused to let go, just muttering, "My Qingqing is back, I want to buy her the most beautiful clothes, the most beautiful jewelry, Give her the most beautiful room."

Missing her ten years of growing up, now Ruan only wants to hold her daughter tightly, wishing she would never let go.

Bai Shao understood her feelings, so she accepted them all silently.

But when Gu Qingfan was about to go back to the mansion, she told him a few words, asking him to tell Wu Shi and Bai Chuanbai so that they would not worry about her.

Gu Qingfan nodded in a complicated way, but didn't speak. He watched the couple get on their horses and leave after they entered the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

This is not the first time Bai Shao stepped into the Duke of Zhen's mansion, but because the last time it was after dark and she kept her head down the whole time, she hardly saw what the Duke of Zhen's mansion looked like.

This time, Bai Shao, who walked in generously behind Ruan Shi, received the entire Zhen Guo Gong Mansion in his eyes.

It is worthy of being the old Zhen Guogong who has won the trust of Emperor Tianyu. The whole Zhen Guogong's mansion is quaint and grand, with a very broad layout.

According to Ruan Shi, the Gu family used to be a butcher of pigs, and it was not until the talent of Gu Zheng was born that they could be regarded as prosperous.

It's a pity that in the eyes of everyone in Yanjing, especially in the eyes of the real nobles like the Ruan family, the Gu family is a nouveau riche, so it's not worth mentioning.

However, Ruan Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, just fell in love with Gu Zheng, an upstart, and decided to marry him.

I heard that because of this incident, the old Duke of Zhen almost severed the father-daughter relationship with Ruan Qingqing, but later the wife of the old Zhen Guo persuaded her with kind words and forced her to die, finally easing the relationship between father and daughter.

But for Gu Zheng, the old Zhen Guogong has never seen him in his life.

Especially after he was slandered by others, his daughter, grandson and granddaughter who were implicated almost suffered disasters, and the old town Duke even scolded the eighteen generations of the Gu family.

After scolding, and out of anger, the old Zhen Guogong went to the gate of the imperial city and knelt again. He knelt for a whole day and night, and finally moved Emperor Tianyu.

The emperor opened the golden mouth, and the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo was saved from death, and the descendants of the Gu family could also keep one.

Only one can stay!
This is the greatest tolerance given by the emperor.

But Ruan Qingqing was not willing to give up any of them, and could not give up on any of them.

Later, the Duke of the old town gave the idea. Isn’t this in the belly not yet born? He said he couldn’t live after he was born, and then he said that he lost it during the house raid. How could the emperor be with a dying baby? Competing, after a little searching, I didn't pay attention to this matter again.

Ten years, a full ten years.

After the Gu family re-emerged and was reused, even if the emperor knew that the Gu family had a daughter, it was not a big deal, but she couldn't be found.

The Duke of the old town was also troubled by this, and the Ruan family shed tears almost every day.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and finally found it!
In the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, in the courtyard of the old Duke of Zhen.

Bai Shao knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowed to the old man lying on the bed, and then called out, "Grandfather."

"Hey, I've grown up so much..." Old Zhen Guogong looked at Bai Shao with tears in his eyes, and choked up, "It's really like my eldest sister when I was young, so much like..."

Ruan Shi also wiped away tears, "Fortunately, I found it. I heard that she suffered a lot in the past. Fortunately, she is smart and quick-witted. That's why Qingfan noticed her."

"Hey, good boy..." Old Zhen Guogong sighed for a while, "Although your father is stupid, but fortunately, the two children are always smart."

If some people say that the dead husband is not good, Ruan will definitely quarrel with him, but when the old Zhen Guogong said this, Ruan could only hang his head helplessly and wipe away his tears.

Bai Shao, on the other hand, whispered a fair word to her father whom she had never met, "Actually, according to my mother, my father is a very upright person..."

"Integrity is integrity, but you can't bend your mind, so if you get hurt by others, you're not stupid!" As soon as he mentioned this, the old Zhen Guogong blew his beard and stared, "Wan Qing, don't give it to your father." Speaking of good things, how can I not know him? I knew from the beginning that his brain would not turn around, so I didn't want your mother to marry him, but something really happened later! Your mother is also a disappointment!"

Bai Shao smiled wryly immediately, and then no matter what old Zhen Guogong said about Gu Zheng, she kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

At the end of the talk, Old Zhen Guogong was a little tired, so he lay down again, waved his hands to Ruan's Baishao and his wife, "Go to the backyard and let your mother take a look, she thinks about this child very much. "

"Hey." Mrs. Ruan responded, took Bai Shao to bless the Duke of Laozhen, then slowly left the courtyard, and went to the courtyard of the wife of the Duke of Laozhen.

According to Ruan Shi, Bai Shao's grandmother, Zhao Shi, is a very gentle and quiet woman. She only gave birth to a daughter Ruan Qingqing in her life, and she has nothing to do after that.

Perhaps it was because of this that she was disgusted by her mother-in-law at the time, so that the relationship between her and Lao Zhen Guogong was not particularly good. Concubine, and gave birth to two bastards.

Since then, the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and Lao Zhen Guogong has become more and more distant, and they don't even live in the same courtyard. If there is no serious matter, the two parties may not see each other for half a year.

Maybe it's because of too much worry, Zhao's health is not very good, and because of her age, she is much weaker than Ruan's—this is what Bai Shao discovered when she kowtowed to Ruan's.

She called her softly in the same way as Duke Zhen, "Grandmother."

"Hey, is it Wan Qing?" Mrs. Zhao obviously heard about her return, and called her very gently, "You are finally back, and you will spend more time with your mother in the future, you understand?"

"Wan Qing knows." Bai Shao nodded obediently.

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, smiled, and tremblingly took out a small box from under the pillow, and handed it to Bai Shao with great effort, "I heard someone say that my granddaughter is back, I thought about it." Thinking about it, I found some things that I married as a dowry back then and gave them to my granddaughter to make up for the hardships my poor granddaughter has suffered over the years. Although I know that these may not be enough, it can be regarded as my grandmother's kindness .”

Once she said this, Bai Shao had no way to refuse, so he could only accept the box.

Mrs. Zhao is a very gentle and talkative person, and Bai Shao is very well-behaved, so Mrs. Zhao likes her very much. After talking to her for a long time, she let her go.

After walking out of Zhao's yard, Bai Shao hugged the heavy box and asked Ruan, "Mother, do I really want to keep what my grandmother gave me?"

"This is something your grandmother gave you, of course you have to keep it." Ruan touched the back of Bai Shao's head and said softly, "But remember, try to keep this box away from people and don't let them I have seen it, otherwise it will be in vain.”

"Ah..." Bai Shao looked behind Ruan Shi in surprise, her pretty face gradually wrinkled, "Mother, it may be too late..."

Ruan turned around in surprise, just in time to see Mrs. Lu, the concubine of the Duke of Laozhen, leading her two daughters-in-law towards here.

After seeing the box in Bai Shao's hand, Mrs. Lu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a sharp smile, "Yo, this is General Gu's posthumous child, I didn't expect to find it after ten years of losing it, and I don't think it will be lost." Let's see if it's true."

"Whether it's true or not, I am the child's mother and I will naturally judge." Ruan Shi held Bai Shao behind her, and said calmly, "Don't worry about Aunt Lu."

As he said that, he wanted to take Bai Shao out of here.

As a result, the two aunts stood in front of Ruan Shi, one on the left and the other on the right, making it impossible for her to leave here.

"Haha, I don't care whether this child is real or not, it's just that these things belong to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and people who don't know their origin can't let them take them away." Na Lu walked to Baishao's house holding the handkerchief. In front of him, as soon as he raised his hand, he grabbed the box in Bai Shao's hand.
