Master Gu and Madam Gu split up. While he was looking for the tyrant, Madam Gu, along with Gun Gu An, had already gone to find Shen Jiao.
Mrs. Gu was a little uneasy.
Princess Handan, who was once so powerful and influential that even the current emperor of the Southern Frontier had to show her some respect, became extremely nervous because of one answer.
Gu An's face stiffened, but he tried his best to give Shen Jiao his signature smile.
But inside, a frantic roar was raging.
mother!
You are my own mother!
If you're nervous, it's fine if you don't pinch yourself, but when you pinch me, could you please not just pull off a tiny bit of skin?
Madam Gu noticed that Gu An was trembling and felt very apologetic as she released his left hand.
Before Gu An could even breathe a sigh of relief, Madam Gu grabbed his right hand again and continued to pinch off a little bit of skin!
Gu An: "..."
Shen Jiao was completely bewildered.
She arrived in this world as a lonely soul from another world. Her parents had both died, and she had not experienced much family affection.
The original owner's family was complicated. Judging from the way Shen Qingye and Shen Yu wanted to slap her two hundred times a day, she must have had a miserable time in the Marquis of Anbo's mansion, where every day felt like a year.
Shen Jiao was somewhat at a loss.
She looked up, wanting to say something, but inadvertently fell into Madam Gu's gentle and loving eyes.
The tyrant's eyes are like an endless deep sea, and they possess a mountain full of vibrant, blooming roses; the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are.
Madam Gu's eyes were like soft clouds, carrying a warm and gentle breeze, sincere and tender.
Shen Jiao discovered it.
Perhaps fearing rejection, the pampered and noble Princess Han Dan nervously kept fidgeting with her fingers.
A certain emptiness that had been lingering deep within her was suddenly filled, leaving her feeling both sour and bloated.
"Can I?" Shen Jiao didn't care about these things; after all, she was just a dead person.
Greed knows no bounds; even a snake cannot swallow an elephant.
It's good enough that we're alive.
Madam Gu was almost moved to tears by Shen Jiao's cautiousness.
She stepped forward and hugged Shen Jiao tightly, gently patting the back of Shen Jiao's head with her soft fingers, a feeling different from when the tyrant patted her.
Madam Gu said gently, "Silly child, I'm asking you if it's okay, why are you asking me back? With me, anything is possible."
"From now on, the Gu family will be your home."
...
The Gu family did not hide the fact that they had taken Shen Jiao as their goddaughter, nor did they settle the matter with just one meal.
Please, having a smart and adorable daughter who is both academically and athletically gifted is something to be proud of to the whole world!
Not only did Master Gu send invitations to all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Shengcheng, he also spent a fortune to have the beggars in the streets and alleys of Shengcheng spread the word about the matter.
"Brother, look at Shen Jiao, then look at the Gu family. What does this mean? Do they think we're all dead?"
The streets of Shengcheng have been unusually lively these past few days, making it difficult for Shen Qingye to avoid knowing about it.
Wherever he went, he always said that Master Gu was lucky and fortunate to have such a smart, clever, lovely and capable daughter.
What makes Shen Jiao cute and clever?
They're just a bunch of stupid people who blindly follow the crowd!
Shen Qingye couldn't stand it anymore and immediately started arguing with the people gossiping.
"What's so good about her? Wouldn't a dog be more sensible than her? At least a dog knows to wag its tail at its owner, while she only knows how to sycophant!"
Shen Qingye is no longer a stranger in Shengcheng; he has become famous because of Shen Yu.
However, it's not a good name.
The name Shen Qingye is no longer just a name; it has become an adjective.
for example--
Whoever slanders whom can claim to be Shen Qingye.
Anyone who speaks rudely can be said to be Shen Qingye.
Anyone with cerebral palsy could be described as Shen Qingye.
Shen Qingye, the embodiment of all derogatory terms!
There's always someone who deserves it!
Shen Jiao not only solved the Youlan River problem, but also promoted the development of a new aquatic industry in southern Xinjiang. As a result, many small businesses made a fortune and realized their dream of becoming well-off.
Her reputation in Shengcheng is now comparable to that of the Goddess.
Those people originally intended to teach such an insolent person a lesson, but when they turned around, they saw that it was Shen Qingye.
Oh, that's alright then.
This guy is totally brain-dead; you can't reason with him.
So they reported it directly to the authorities.
Accuse Shen Qingye of insulting the royal family? What a joke! Shen Jiao is the Princess Ming Le, personally appointed by the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang. How can she be insulted at will?
Shen Qingye was shocked. Can't you even argue?
Why did you call the authorities over a mere disagreement?
Shen Qingcheng deliberately ignored Shen Qingye for two days before finally bailing him out of jail with a dark expression.
If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really go crazy!
Upon seeing the light of day again, Shen Qingye was immediately revitalized. The discomfort he had endured for the past two days, being served by cockroaches, rats, and moldy bedding, vanished in an instant.
Upon seeing his elder brother, he immediately said angrily, "Brother, look at Shen Jiao, and then look at the Gu family. What does this mean? Do you think we're all dead?"
Shen Qingcheng rarely regrets his decisions, but at this moment, he deeply regrets getting Shen Qingye out of prison.
"Would you like to stay a few more days?"
Shen Qingye remembered the swarms of rats and cockroaches flying around in the dungeon and immediately fell silent.
Cockroaches can fly!
I've never seen anything like this before!
However, the flying cockroaches touched Shen Qingye's heart. He himself would find it uncomfortable to be in such an environment, let alone the pampered Yu'er.
That day, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review escorted Shen Yu back to the Court of Judicial Review.
Shen Yu knew the truth but did not report it, and was blinded by greed. Although he was not as guilty as the Third Prince and his gang, he was not entirely innocent either.
However, since Shenyu was a person of the Great Yan, this matter should have been discussed with the Great Yan envoy. But with the tyrant present, whether there was an envoy or not seemed to matter much.
