Chapter 34 Mother's Love
Gu Huan felt the presence of her biological mother beside her and smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her body. She was so excited that she wrote almost three hundred words in one go.
As the last stroke was raised, the hot tears in my eyes couldn't help but fall, wetting the last word.
Gu Huan took a deep breath and forced back her tears.
"Why are you still crying?" Wang's tone was very gentle.
Gu Huan felt a sore nose and almost couldn't control her tears.
This was the first time she heard her biological mother show concern for her.
Wang grabbed Gu Huan's hand with concern, and suddenly she was shocked. She turned over her palm and saw the red scab on the burn, her face full of fear.
"Why is your hand injured like this? How can you copy the manuscript like this?"
Gu Huan's hand was held by her biological mother. Looking at her nervous expression, tears fell uncontrollably, landing in her own palm and Wang's palm.
Wang was heartbroken: "How painful is this?"
She turned to Zhou Chunyu and said, "Huan'er was injured in the Duke's Mansion. She can't copy books anymore. She has to go back home and take good care of herself."
Gu Huan's heart was filled with joy. It turned out that her mother loved her and would protect her.
But now is not the time to go back home.
She wants to use Mu Junyan's power to find evidence of the baby swap, and when she has the strength to fight back, she will come back and reunite with her mother.
"Mother……"
Gu Huan choked up as soon as she opened her mouth. Calling her mother made Wang feel strange.
It's just like a child calling her mother more affectionately.
After all, they are all girls from the Gu family, and as the mistress, I will still consider her.
Wang patted her hands and comforted her, "Good girl, if you have any grievances, you must go home and tell us. The Gu family will take care of it for you."
Will the Gu family make the decision for her?
It's impossible.
Gu Huan took a deep breath and knelt respectfully towards Wang. "Thank you, mother, for your love. Thanks to the Duke for bringing the best medicine from the palace for my wound, it has scabbed over in just a few days. I want to show my filial piety to my deceased mother-in-law on behalf of my elder sister, to thank her for her guidance and care for Huan'er over the past month."
In Wang's mind, Gu Wanru was a jewel that grew up in her hands.
Gu Huan couldn't bear to let her know how vicious Gu Wanru was.
When she returns to her mother as her biological daughter, she will expose the evil deeds done by Aunt Pei and her daughter.
Mother, you must take good care of your health and wait for your daughter to return.
Gu Yuan and Wang Shi each had mixed feelings and did not speak any more.
The facts are before us. If we continue to stop people from going to the Duke's Mansion, we will probably offend Duke Yong.
After all, Duke Yong's deep affection for his late wife was well known to everyone in the wealthy families in Kyoto.
It is a good thing that the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion can fulfill the wish of Duke Yong for his late wife. In the future, Duke Yong will be more grateful to the Marquis Wenchang Mansion, and the two families will become closer.
Gu Yuan rubbed his fingers. How about in a few days, while Duke Yong has not yet returned to southern Xinjiang, he should pay a visit to him and ask him to come forward and convey a message to the emperor, asking him to appoint a crown prince?
As long as the crown prince is appointed, the possibility of the marquisate being passed down to the next generation is high.
Gu Yuan was thinking in his mind, while Aunt Pei on the side was extremely anxious.
Ruer sent someone to tell her that Gu Huan should be sent to Jiaochun Garden at noon, and the time was almost up.
What should I do if my brother-in-law blames me and takes his anger out on Ruer?
Moreover, the little bitch succeeded this time and returned to the Duke's Mansion in a triumphant manner. I'm afraid she will be more difficult to control in the future.
If I really hook up with the Duke and win his favor, that would be trouble.
While no one was paying attention to her, she quietly stood up, walked to Gu Yuan, and whispered, "My Lord, how about letting Sister Huan stay in the mansion for a day and then sending her to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow? I want to talk to her. I haven't seen her for a month, and I miss her very much."
Gu Yuan felt a little reluctant when he saw her pleading eyes. He looked at Zhou Chunyu and said, "It's true that the mother and daughter haven't seen each other for more than a month. Why don't we let Huan'er stay for one night and come back tomorrow?"
Zhou Chunyu looked at Gu Huan and said, "Second Miss Gu, you decide."
Gu Huan glanced at Aunt Pei. What evil things were she and Gu Wanru planning by forcing her to go home?
But if she insisted on returning to the Duke's Mansion today, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Gu Yuan and her mother.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to check the mansion to see if there were any clues about the baby swap.
Besides, she brought Chen Li here for a purpose.
"A daughter listens to her father."
Seeing that she was as well-behaved as ever, Gu Yuan was relieved: "That's it."
He smiled and nodded to Zhou Chunyu: "No need for the gift money, it's too polite, it's just copying the manuscript."
Zhou Chunyu personally took the box containing the banknotes and handed it to Nanny Zhou with both hands.
"Of course. The Duke has said that if the Marquis does not accept the banknotes, even if it is for the second Miss Gu's dowry, please let Madam keep it for her."
Wang was happy for Gu Huan and said happily, "Then I will thank the Duke on Huan'er's behalf."
Nanny Sun took it with both hands.
Gu Yuan was having a heart attack.
Wow, the duck that was about to reach my mouth flew away right under my nose!
Zhou Zhilan added: "That day Aunt Pei came to the Duke's Mansion and said that Madam had chosen a husband for the second Miss Gu and they were already discussing marriage. It was a good time to add to her dowry."
Aunt Pei’s face turned pale.
Wang and Gu Yuan looked at Aunt Pei who looked panicked at the same time, and their expressions changed at the same time.
In front of her husband, Wang deliberately asked, "Pei, do you decide the marriages of the girls in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Aunt Pei knelt down quickly: "I dare not. It's...I was afraid that Huan'er would have thoughts that she shouldn't have, so I said it on purpose. I just wanted to remind her to abide by the rules of being a woman and not to think about things that she shouldn't think about."
Gu Huan was surprised: "That night when Aunt Pei went to the Duke's Mansion, she said in person that mother had found a good match for me. Could it be that mother didn't know?"
Wang's face darkened and she sneered, "My Lord, the household servant Pei is in charge of the Marquis's mansion. She also makes the decision on the marriage of the Marquis's daughter. I have nothing to do with the Marquis's mansion, right?"
Gu Yuan is partial in his heart, but he will appear to be upright on the surface.
His tone suddenly became bad, and he shouted, "Ms. Pei, what are you doing? Even if the child is your own, it is the Madam who makes the decision. When is it your turn to interfere in the marriage of the girls in the mansion?"
Aunt Pei wanted to cry but had no tears: "How dare I? I am just worried about my mother."
Gu Huan didn't want Aunt Pei to get away with it so easily.
She secretly tugged at Zhou Zhilan's sleeve and winked at her.
Zhou Zhilan suddenly understood what she wanted to say.
"Manager Zhou, Donghua, Chenli and I will stay in the Marquis' Mansion to accompany the Second Miss Gu. Please ask someone to bring the Second Miss Gu's slave documents from the Young Madam tomorrow, and ask Marquis Gu and Madam Hou to identify the private seal of the mistress. If it is fake..."
She deliberately glanced at Aunt Pei, who looked ashen, and said slowly, "It is a serious crime for a concubine to steal the mistress's private seal."
Gu Yuan frowned: "Is there really such a document?"
Gu Huan was so aggrieved that her eyes were filled with tears: "I thought it was my father and mother's intention, so I didn't dare to disobey and signed it."
Gu Yuan was furious: "Nonsense! No matter what, you are still a daughter of a marquis, how can I let you become a slave? Do you want to save the reputation of my Gu family that has lasted for a hundred years?"
Wang agreed solemnly: "Of course we have to investigate it thoroughly. If it is true, and it spreads out, our Gu family will be criticized and scolded."
Aunt Pei's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Gu Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
In my previous life, I blamed myself for being too cowardly. I didn't think that it might be Aunt Pei who deceived me.
Giving them the opportunity to kill themselves.
Zhou Chunyu left. Gu Yuan was impatient to deal with the trivial matters of women. He glanced at Gu Huan and said, "Madam, you handle it. I have something to do and I'm leaving now."
"OK."
Wang presented the gift respectfully and turned to look at Aunt Pei and Gu Huan.
"Mrs. Pei, your yard is not big, and Huan'er's original room is too simple. Let's arrange for them to stay in the guest house tonight."
Aunt Pei had no way to refuse, so she cheered up and said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
After saying that, she glanced at Gu Huan and motioned for her to follow her.
Gu Huan pretended not to see it.
Wang noticed: "Go quickly, and when you have finished arranging the guest house, send someone to tell them. Huan'er and I will have lunch in my yard today."
Aunt Pei had no choice but to leave first.
