Chapter 1001: There is no more Mermaid and the Fourth Prince in Nanchuan
“Yes…yes.”
Cheng Gang also smiled awkwardly. Their status really did not qualify them to eat at the same table with them.
"Let's go together."
Jiang Wan gently pulled the greedy little girl and said, "Consider it as our payment for borrowing your kitchen."
“It’s more fun when there are more people eating.”
Song Jiuyuan gave Jiang Wan a bowl of soup. After she became pregnant, Jiang Wan occasionally suffered from morning sickness.
Yu’s cooking skills were pretty good, and she didn’t even feel like vomiting when she smelled it.
Yu was somewhat flattered, "I can't do that... I can't do that."
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Rui'er's voice was very soft. She was indeed hungry, but she was afraid that her mother would be unhappy, so she didn't sit down.
"Let's eat together. I made your portions."
Muxiang picked up some dishes for Ruier directly. Yu and Cheng Gang looked at each other and then sat down tacitly.
Compared to Muxiang and Jiang Wan who ate heartily, Yu and Cheng Gang ate very carefully.
Jiang Wan was quite satisfied with this meal.
Gan Ze pushed the twice-cooked pork towards Yu and said, "Madam, your cooking is good. You can have some too."
"good."
Yu had never eaten meat. She ate vegetarian dishes very tactfully and didn't even eat rice.
But it was the coarse grains that the family planned to eat at noon, and she divided them very clearly, which made Gan Ze feel very uncomfortable.
But I didn't force her.
Probably only Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan Rui'er enjoyed the meal, as Gan Ze was absent-minded the whole time.
Muxiang was concerned about Ganze's feelings, while Cheng Gang and Yu were cautious, fearing that they would offend the noble.
Cheng Gang was even more worried that Gan Ze's identity would be exposed.
After the meal, Yu was busy cleaning up the dishes, and Cheng Gang was busy helping her.
The couple seemed to have a good relationship, and Muxiang comforted Ganze in a low voice.
"Little Junior Brother, are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Gan Ze tried hard to force a smile and looked exceptionally strong.
"If you don't want to have any regrets, why don't you explain it to her?"
Muxiang admits that she is a selfish person and she wants Ganze to be happy more than others.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan also looked at Gan Ze, and Gan Ze curled his lips bitterly.
"No."
"Auntie, we have something else to do. We'll leave first."
Muxiang shouted loudly to the kitchen, and Yu and Cheng Gang came out of the kitchen.
Cheng Gang was still holding Rui'er in his arms, "My dear, take care."
"I wish you peace and success."
Yu also raised a peaceful smile, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Gan Ze.
For some reason, she always felt that this boy was very familiar and gave her a sense of closeness.
She lowered her voice and asked Cheng Gang, "Cheng Gang, could he be my relative's child?
I always felt that he was very familiar and wanted to talk to him more. ”
"It's not surprising that people in this world have similarities. Perhaps it's because he and Rui'er are somewhat similar that you feel close to him."
Cheng Gang gently put Rui'er into Yu's arms, "Wait for me at home, I'll see you off, don't be rude."
"good."
Yu always listened to her husband, so she didn't doubt what Cheng Gang said.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan left the thatched hut hand in hand, followed by Gan Ze and Mu Xiang.
But when leaving, Gan Ze couldn't help but look back at Yu frequently.
The familiar face gradually faded away and was sent out of his mind.
After walking a little further, Jiang Wan and the others noticed that the corners of Gan Ze's eyes were slightly red, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.
Until the thatched hut disappeared from view, Cheng Gang suddenly knelt in front of Gan Ze.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry!"
"You don't need to call me Your Highness. The Fourth Prince of Nanchuan died long ago."
Gan Ze closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them, his eyes were clear.
The person who was struggling just now was not him. He bent his knees slightly and helped Cheng Gang up.
"You don't have to kneel to me!"
He just suddenly realized that he had been deceived for more than ten years and felt very sad.
Cheng Gang said apologetically: "Yu'er didn't accept your favor voluntarily, and the pregnancy was an accident.
Ever since you were born, she has been unhappy and very cold to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is fond of beautiful women, so he is naturally impatient to coax her.
Later, Yu'er was banished to the cold palace and lived like a walking corpse. When she was favored by His Majesty again, she aroused the jealousy of the Queen at that time.
When she was about to be poisoned, I begged the then-favored concubine, Consort Shu, to help get her out of the palace."
Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the third princess, so she has long known that Gan Ze’s biological mother is not dead.
But she had experienced so much that she forgot that she had ever been in the palace and that she once had a child.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan listened to Cheng Gang's narration in amazement. It was even more outrageous than what was written in the storybook.
Muxiang looked at Ganze with pity. They were really in the same boat, both of them did not receive love from their parents.
Gan Ze's eyes showed traces of pain, and he finally said helplessly:
"Did she...stay in the palace because of me?"
With his mother's fiery temper, how could she be willing to be locked up in the cold palace forever.
"yes."
Cheng Gang lowered his eyes and said, "Although I am a royal guard, I am also highly valued by your majesty.
I suggested several times that she fake her own death and leave, but she couldn't let you go."
He looked full of guilt, "On one hand, I was forced to commit myself to someone I didn't like, and on the other hand, I had a child who was related to her by blood.
She nearly got driven crazy in the end, which is why I just hoped you would never tell her this.
I am selfish, but I just want her to be well, I am sorry..."
"I don't blame you."
Gan Ze wiped the slightly red corners of his eyes and said, "As long as she is happy."
In his meager memory, his mother was always unhappy.
He had never seen her smile so happily.
So just forget about him, it wasn’t a good memory to begin with.
"You treat her well."
Gan Ze patted Cheng Gang's shoulder gently, while Jiang Wan on the side took out a bag of silver from his sleeve.
"Hiding your identity can indeed reduce a lot of trouble, but Rui'er's clothes are a little too small.
Just think of this as clothes given to her by Gan Ze, her brother."
The money in it could buy many sets of clothes. Cheng Gang wanted to refuse, but when he saw Gan Ze's slightly cold face, he finally accepted it.
"Thank you!"
"Go back, so she won't think too much."
Gan Ze waved his hand gently, turned around and got on the carriage until Cheng Gang walked away.
Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and others just got on the carriage.
Song Si was driving the carriage. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and finally Song Jiuyuan spoke first.
"I don't know when I'll be back from Nanchuan. Gan Ze, if you've made up your mind, we won't look back."
"Little Junior Brother, are you sure you won't regret it?"
Mu Xiang thought of the way Yu Shi stared at him when she left, "If she remembers you, she will definitely love you very much."
The fact that Yu stayed in the palace for the sake of her child was enough to show that she loved her child very much.
"Won't."
Gan Ze lifted the curtain of the carriage and watched the scenery outside gradually recede.
"There is no more Mermaid and the Fourth Prince in Nanchuan."
