Only when Xu Wanyan and Xiao Jingming disappeared from view did Zhao Deshun wipe the sweat from his head and stand up.
"Wanqing, you are finally back. Your mother is..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Wanqing gave Zhao Deshun a sharp look, then strode towards Mingzhu Garden.
Since she woke up, everything here has changed, and she needs to sort it out carefully.
"Miss, Miss, you are finally back."
Seeing Xu Wanqing's figure, Mother Gu rolled and crawled towards her crying.
Looking at Mother Gu, who had watched her grow up, Xu Wanqing's complexion improved a little and she helped her up.
"Miss, you are finally back. Madam was thinking about you the whole time before she left."
Xu Wanqing's eyes were hot, and then she asked, "What happened to my mother?"
When Mother Gu heard this, she burst into tears and said, "Miss, the Madam was killed by them."
"They? Who are they?"
Mother Gu's face showed a fierce look, "They, they are the master, the old master, and that Huang, no, they should also include the second young lady."
Afterwards, Mother Gu told Xu Wanqing everything that had happened in the past few days.
Xu Wanqing frowned slightly. She really couldn't find any flaws in Xu Wanyan's attack.
"Miss, you must avenge the lady. She only cares about you. Unfortunately, she was not allowed to see a doctor in the end."
Xu Wanqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who hurts my mother go."
As for Xu Wanyan, even if no flaws can be found, she deserves to die.
Who made Xiao Jingming pay so much attention to her?
She designed Xu Wanyan to marry him so that she would suffer, not so that she could enjoy happiness.
"Mother Gu, don't worry, even if I can't find evidence, I won't let them go."
"Okay, Miss, I feel relieved with your words."
As she spoke, Mother Gu stumbled into the inner room, brought out a large box, and placed it in front of Xu Wanqing, "Miss, these are given to you by the Madam."
Xu Wanqing opened it gently and saw that it was full of valuable things. Her face suddenly brightened up.
"This is......"
"Miss, this is what Madam saved for you. You know, ever since Second Miss left Hengwu Courtyard, Madam's life has been difficult. The little property she finally saved was all taken away by Second Miss. These were taken from Second Miss by her. They are all the betrothal gifts from Prince Chen."
Xu Wanqing paused and asked in surprise, "Is this Xu Wanyan's betrothal gift?"
Mother Gu nodded and sighed, "The second young lady is in charge of the household expenses. The lady has no extra money, so she thought you would need money to manage things in the palace, so..."
Now, Xu Wanqing could no longer hold back and cried bitterly while holding the brocade box.
Seeing this, Mother Gu also started to cry.
It took a long time for Xu Wanqing to sort these things out and hand them over to Guizhi.
"Mother Gu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have nothing."
Mother Gu patted her hands and said with relief, "Miss, now that you are the prince's person, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Xu Wanqing nodded and walked towards the mourning hall.
Suddenly, a figure standing in front of the mourning hall caught her attention.
"Ming, Mingxuan..."
Xu Wanqing widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Lu Mingxuan slowly turned around. He was thinner than before, but he looked even more handsome.
Xu Wanqing was distracted for a moment and quickly ran over, "Mingxuan, why are you here?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Lu Mingxuan's eyes, and then he said lightly: "No matter what, she was always my elder. Now that she is gone, it is natural for me to come and mourn her."
Xu Wanqing's face lit up with joy, and she said happily, "Thank you, Mingxuan. My mother would definitely be very happy if she knew you came to see her."
"Yeah?"
Lu Mingxuan looked at Xu Wanqing with a half-smile.
"Yes, she has always liked you, if not..."
Before she could finish, Lu Mingxuan frowned and interrupted her, "Have you forgotten that it was your mother who allowed you to enter the palace?"
"I, I..."
Seeing Lu Mingxuan's increasingly disdainful expression, Xu Wanqing hurriedly explained: "Mingxuan, I was forced to do this. I didn't want to..."
"Wanqing, stop talking. I don't want to hear it. I remember exactly how you treated me the last time I came. Now that Madam Xu is gone, as the biological father of your child, it's only natural for me to come and see her."
"You, what did you say?"
Xu Wanqing stumbled backwards, her eyes wide in disbelief, as if she didn't believe what Lu Mingxuan said.
"What did I say? You already know all this, why do you have to remind me again and again?"
"This time, I just came to see Madam Xu. It has nothing to do with you. We have already moved on. I only hope that you can treat my unborn child well."
After saying that, Lu Mingxuan bowed three times to Zhao Yaru and turned to leave.
"Mingxuan, what you just said...isn't true, right?"
Lu Mingxuan stopped and replied coldly without even turning his head, "I didn't tell a single lie. Besides, isn't this something you know best?"
Xu Wanqing kept shaking her head. The shock she received from Lu Mingxuan was far greater than what she received from Xu Wanyu.
At that time, she thought it was fake, and that others were jealous of her and deliberately made up stories about her.
But Mingxuan definitely wasn't lying to her when he said that.
She, she really was pregnant with Lu Mingxuan's child and married the prince.
“Wuwuwu…”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help crying.
This time, she finally understood why she lived in the side hall.
Guizhi stared at Xu Wanqing in front of her with wide eyes. She didn't expect that she would hear such explosive news after following her back.
She was terrified. She knew too well how miserable the fate of a servant would be if she knew her master's secret.
At this moment, she wanted to escape, but her feet felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and she couldn't take a single step.
"My lady, this slave girl heard everything."
Mother Gu rushed over and grabbed Guizhi, glaring at her fiercely.
Xu Wanqing then slowly raised her head, looked at Guizhi, and asked word by word: "Do you know about this?"
Guizhi suddenly fell to her knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy: "My Lady, spare me, I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything."
But, how could Xu Wanqing believe her?
She was a princess in her previous life, so how could she allow hidden dangers to surround herself?
After thinking for a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Mother Gu, "Mother Gu, pull out her tongue."
Guizhi's face turned pale immediately. "No, no, please, my lady, no!"
Mother Gu frowned and looked at Xu Wanqing, "Miss, I have some medicine that can make her mute, so that no one will find out that she has lost her tongue."
"good."
