Chapter 88 Recognize relatives!

It’s no wonder that Gu Ting was surprised. It was because Gu Jinghuai looked too much like Old Master Gu when he was young. It can’t be said that they were exactly the same, but they were at least 90% similar.

Seeing Gu Ting's dumbfounded look, the eldest princess felt a little puzzled.

Zhizhi’s husband is indeed handsome, but his reaction is a bit too much.

The eldest princess gently pulled Gu Ting's sleeve, reminding him not to be rude.

But Gu Ting seemed not to feel it, his eyes full of astonishment.

Gu Jinghuai and the Qin brothers were pulled over by the little girl to greet Gu Ting and the princess. Gu Ting excitedly asked, "What's your father's name?"

Gu Jinghuai looked alert. This middle-aged man in luxurious clothes looked very strange.

But seeing his face full of excitement and joy, Gu Jinghuai still said his father's name "Gu Ye."

"No, it must not be Gu Ye. He must have another name, otherwise he can't be so similar."

Gu Ting became very excited when he didn't hear the name he wanted to hear.

Gu Jinghuai didn't know how to answer Gu Ting. His father's name was Gu Ye.

The others didn't know what was going on, nor did they understand why Gu Ting was so excited when he saw Gu Jinghuai.

Qin Zhizhi had already imagined a huge melodramatic plot, but looking at the eldest princess and Gu Ting, she felt it was impossible.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yunlang thought that his father didn't like his brother-in-law, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Husband, what happened?" The eldest princess had never seen Gu Ting lose his composure like this before.

"I want to see your mother!" Gu Ting said firmly.

Gu Jinghuai looked at Qin Zhizhi and the eldest princess for help, and Qin Zhizhi went straight to the backyard to call for Mother Gu.

The eldest princess trusted Gu Ting very much. She believed that her husband called her mother Gu in order to verify something.

Mrs. Gu is feeling much better today, and her son has returned home.

She was originally planning to go to the front yard, but when she saw Qin Zhizhi coming to find her, she followed her daughter-in-law to the front yard.

Along the way, Qin Zhizhi wanted to remind Gu's mother several times, but she didn't know how to start.

I could only secretly exchange some quick-acting heart pills with Wanwan in case of emergency.

While Qin Zhizhi went to call Mother Gu, Gu Ting had calmed down a little, but he still kept staring at Gu Jinghuai.

Gu Jinghuai was very calm. Even if this person was Zheng'er's biological parents, he would never allow him to hurt his family.

Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun also looked at Gu Ting with vigilance. It was obvious that this man was not an ordinary person and was not someone to be trifled with.

If the court officials heard what the two men were saying, they would definitely complain bitterly.

You country folk are always complaining about everything, and when you are in a bad mood, you give the emperor a cold shoulder. Lord Gu, who can't even win an argument with the Censorate, is not someone you can mess with.

Mother Gu and the eldest princess were very familiar with each other, but it was indeed her first time meeting Gu Ting.

As soon as Mother Gu entered the front hall, Gu Ting became even more excited when he saw her.

He took a few big steps forward and asked excitedly, "You are Ah Shi's wife, Mu Shu!"

Gu Ting used an affirmative sentence. Gu Ting's words shocked the eldest princess so much that she stood up directly. Gu's mother looked stunned and then burst into tears.

"Husband, are you telling the truth?" The eldest princess was even more anxious than Gu Ting.

Gu Shi is Gu Ting’s second brother. Something happened to him a few years ago. He was half dead when he was found. He is still being raised in the Gu Mansion.

The old lady felt sorry for her son and took care of him at the Gu Mansion.

In the past few years, she and her husband have been looking for their son while looking for a miracle doctor for their second brother. Their second brother's life was saved, but he is bedridden and unable to speak.

Now my husband says that Madam Gu is my second brother’s wife, so Gu Jinghuai and the others are my second brother’s children.

"There's no mistake. When my second brother was rescued, he mentioned his wife, Mu Shu, and there was also a portrait of her. I've seen it."

Gu Ting had seen his mother's portrait at his second brother's place, and he had been secretly looking for her over the years, but he never expected that there were children.

Gu's mother always believed that Gu Shi abandoned her and the child. When she heard Gu Ting say that he was rescued, she knew that she had misunderstood her husband.

"Is he okay?" Mother Gu could no longer control her emotions.

"My life was saved, but I'm lying in bed. The doctor said that if it weren't for my strong faith, I probably wouldn't have made it this far."

Gu Ting now finally understood what the imperial physician meant by strong belief. It turned out that his second brother had so many people who needed him.

"Take me to find him. He promised me that he would come to find us. I kept waiting for him and I thought he had abandoned us."

Now, Gu's mother only wants to see Gu Shi. While she is blaming him, he is trying hard to survive.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will arrange to take you back to Beijing as soon as possible."

Gu Ting wanted to fly back to the capital overnight. His mother had been worried about his second brother every day for years. If she knew about this, she would definitely be happy.

"Jinghuai, Jingshu, Jingyao, Zhizhi, come and meet your uncle!" Mother Gu shouted to the children.

Qin Zhizhi was extremely shocked. Wasn't this recognition too hasty? There was no need to verify it again.

"Mom, is Dad's name really Gu Shi?" Gu Jinghuai still didn't dare to believe it.

"Jing Huai, I know you have doubts, but this is true. Your father is not dead. I lied to you before."

Mother Gu felt that it was all her fault, as she had caused her children to suffer so much and lack fatherly love.

"By the way, your father left something for us."

Gu's mother remembered the things Gu Shi left behind, including the bracelet she gave to Qin Zhizhi and the jade pendant.

Gu's mother turned back to the house and got the things left by Gu Shi, and asked Qin Zhizhi to bring the bracelet as well.

When Gu's mother took out the jade pendant that Gu Shi always carried with him, Gu Ting also took off an identical jade pendant from his waist.

"This jade pendant belongs to me and my second brother. The last character of our names is engraved on it. Jing Huai, take a look."

Gu Ting was afraid that Gu Jinghuai would not believe him, so he handed both jade pendants to Gu Jinghuai.

Gu Jinghuai took the jade pendants and examined them carefully. He found that there was a word "Shi" and "Ting" on each of the two jade pendants, confirming Gu Ting's statement.

Then the eldest princess took off a bracelet from her hand that was exactly the same as the one that Gu's mother had given to Qin Zhizhi.

This bracelet was prepared by Old Lady Gu for her two daughters-in-law. When Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai got married, Gu's mother gave the bracelet to Qin Zhizhi.

"Jing Huai, now you believe it!"

Gu Ting and the eldest princess looked at Gu Jinghuai expectantly. Seeing that Qin Zhizhi was not opposed, Gu Jinghuai nodded.

"It's great to find you. If my second brother could see you, he might recover. Your grandmother would be very happy too."

Seeing Gu Jinghuai nod, Gu Ting was as happy as a child and couldn't wait to pack up and leave.

The children came over one by one to pay their respects to Gu Ting and the princess. The princess did not bring any expensive gifts this time, so she gave each of the children a few silver notes as a gift and promised to make up for it when she returned to Beijing.

Even the three Qin brothers gave the same banknotes.

The Qin family was dumbfounded. Who on earth were Jing Huai's uncle and aunt? Why were they so generous?
