Chapter 584: The exiled female prisoner with two bodies (19)

"You are already six years old and almost seven. Which boy of your age still sleeps with his mother? People will laugh at you if they find out. Or are you a coward who dares not sleep alone?" Gong Liang Sibai used the method of provoking him.

Gongliang Congyun was still too young, and was fooled immediately: "I'm not a coward! I dare to catch snakes when I see them in the mountains, so why would I be afraid of sleeping alone? Humph! Just sleep alone!"

Gong Liangsubai immediately curled his lips and said, "It's settled then. A real man should keep his word. From now on, you have to learn to sleep alone."

Gong Liang Congyun regretted his words as soon as they came out of his mouth. His mouth was faster than his brain, and he realized that he had been tricked after he had said it. But the adults were too cunning, and his retreat was blocked by his cheap father. If he regretted it, wouldn't it mean that he admitted that he was not a real man? Therefore, even though he knew he had been tricked, he could only nod reluctantly.

After dealing with his difficult son, Gong Liang Sibai said to Lan Shichu, "Congyun is our eldest son, and he is already six or seven years old. It is no longer suitable for him to stay in the inner courtyard with you. He should learn to be independent as early as possible so that he can support this family in the future."

Lan Shichu glanced at him calmly and said, "Even if you didn't mention it, I would have let him sleep alone in two days. But last night was the first time he lived in this strange place. If there were no familiar people around him, he might not be able to adapt to the new environment."

Gong Liang Sibai finally understood that Lan Shichu was not a doting mother. He was suddenly a little shocked and said quickly, "I took it for granted. You are right. It is his first time living in this strange mansion. He must be very uneasy. With you accompanying him for two or three days, he should feel better. I was too hasty."

Gong Liang looked from Yun Wu's dark eyes to Gong Liang Su Bai, and then to Lan Shi Chu. His little head turned back and forth, with a confused look on his face. Although he was young, he always felt that his parents seemed to be particularly polite and unfamiliar to each other, and even a little awkward. They were not like a normal couple at all, and certainly not as harmonious as his grandfather and grandmother, uncle and aunt...

Forget it, forget it. He himself felt very strange with his adopted father. The ease with which he got along before was just an act. It was normal for his parents to become strange after being separated for so many years, right? The young Gong Liang Congyun thought.

Gong Liangshu looked at his son's eyes, which were distinct black and white, and his clever and cute appearance. His heart couldn't help but soften. This son actually looked a lot like him. Although his skin was darker probably due to too much sun exposure, his facial features and contours were handsome and delicate. When he lived in the capital for a long time and his skin became whiter, he would definitely look more like him.

Since returning to the capital, Lan Shichu has finally realized her dream of becoming a salted fish. She has everything she wants every day, and she lives a much happier life than Gong Liang Congyun, who has to complete various homework every day. This makes her feel that the six hard years in exile were worth it. After all, it is a good deal to exchange six years for the next thirty or forty years of wealth and glory. That's why she did not escape exile and changed her appearance to live somewhere else.

Naturally, many invitations came to Gong Liang's family after they returned to the aristocratic circle in the capital. After all, Gong Liang Sibai was a close and trusted minister of the new emperor, and the Gong Liang family was about to return to its peak. Who wouldn't seize the opportunity to repair the relationship?

Lan Shichu had to accompany Liu and Wen to several banquets, and finally she had to pretend to be sick to escape such extremely boring activities. As for being a good wife and helping her husband socialize? Forget it. Lan Shichu didn't have the heart to help Gong Liang Sibai.

However, she did not have long of peace, because the original owner's family, the Prince Lu's Mansion, sent her an invitation, saying that it was the birthday of the old Princess Lu - that is, the original owner's grandmother, and Twelve was responsible for inviting her to the banquet.

It is obvious that after the King of Lu saw that the Gongliang family had made a comeback and was about to regain their former glory, he wanted to curry favor with them again. It seemed that he had not remembered at all that when the Gongliang family was sentenced to exile, they sent people to sever ties with the original owner. They are really shameless.

Lan Shichu sneered and casually threw the invitation aside, not paying any attention to it. Since they had severed their relationship, why would she want to bring back such a profit-seeking relative? Garbage can also be divided into recyclable and non-recyclable. This kind of relative is non-recyclable garbage. Lan Shichu felt it was a nuisance to even look at him for a second.

"Don't you want to go to Prince Lu's Mansion?" Gong Liang Sibai saw the invitation and asked Lan Shichu curiously.

"No, if you want to go, you can go by yourself. I will never set foot there again." Lan Shichu said nonchalantly, "If it is because of the marriage between the two families and they need to maintain the illusion of peace, then you can only pretend it yourself. I don't want to contact anyone in their family again."

Gong Liang Sibai quickly denied: "No need, since we have broken up, there is no need to contact each other again." He looked at Lan Shichu carefully for a few times, and was relieved to see that she did not look sad. He did not dare to imagine the scene when Lan Shichu was exiled while pregnant and then her family announced the termination of the relationship. Lan Shichu must have been very desperate and sad at the time, so he understood his wife's thoughts of not wanting to pay attention to the people in the Prince Lu's Mansion.

On the birthday of the old Princess Lu, Prince Lu and the Crown Prince, that is, the original owner's grandfather and father, were eagerly waiting for Lan Shichu to come. Unfortunately, they waited for a whole day and Lan Shichu didn't show up. They were so angry that they smashed everything in the study, blaming Lan Shichu for being narrow-minded and vindictive, and not even showing up on his grandmother's birthday. He was so cold and heartless.

At this time, they selectively forget the fact that they have severed ties with the original owner.

"The second girl actually didn't even show up. She is so unfilial that even her parents and relatives hold a grudge against her. She is really ignorant. Chen, you should go to Gongliang's house tomorrow and ask her. She didn't even show up on her own grandmother's birthday. Has filial piety been eaten by dogs?" The Prince of Lu angrily ordered the Crown Princess Chen, Lan Shichu's mother.

Chen was a weak woman with no opinion of her own. When she heard what her husband said, her eyes immediately turned red. She said with a sad face, "Shichu must remember that we broke off relations with her. She won't forgive us. She will definitely not see me if I come to her house tomorrow..."

"You are her biological mother, how dare she leave you at the door? If she really dares to do that, you can cry at the door and complain that she is unfilial and didn't even show up at your grandmother's birthday party. This is treason! I don't believe she is not afraid of her reputation being ruined." The Prince of Lu said with a cold look in his eyes.

When Chen saw his eyes, she couldn't help but shudder and had to respond softly because she had no choice.
