Chapter 128 Being Ridiculed
What could Xiaohong do? She could only bite the bullet and go ahead... Fortunately, the child was very well-behaved and lovely, not annoying at all. He always practiced calligraphy and occasionally read poems.
Either they want to eat, drink, or go to the toilet, and they are very well served.
I really don’t know how Chang Xixi raised her child to be so cute!
When the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion heard about this, she was very happy. Chang Xixi finally didn't have to be alone anymore! Besides, it didn't matter whose child it was.
Chang Xixi is alone now, and it is always not good to have no children. Now she has one, and it is a boy, so she is naturally happy for Chang Xixi.
A few days later, he invited her to his home to play.
Chang Xixi also took the child out, and did not say that the child was hers. She only heard the child call her mother. Others did not dare to ask, and seeing that the eldest lady did not ask, naturally no one dared to ask.
…
After returning to the Gu Mansion, Chang Xixi went out to socialize and dine, open a shop, make money, and do business as usual... Xiaohong no longer followed her and stayed at home to take care of the children. Liang Ming now followed behind Chang Xixi, and Renwen was by his side.
Li Da was arranged to stay at home to ensure the safety of the child.
After all, Liang Ming wanted to kill the child, thinking that he was the product of Chang Xixi and someone else... For the honor of his family's young master, he risked everything.
How could Chang Xixi not understand... She knew it very well in her heart.
I just didn't say it openly.
…
In the court, Gu Rongyu knelt in the main hall, and some officials who had received favors from the general also knelt beside him.
"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and thoroughly investigate what happened back then."
"Are you planning a rebellion?"
Gu Rongyu said, "Your Majesty, I dare not rebel! But God has a vision and has allowed me to return to the court after achieving merit. Your Majesty should also fulfill your promise and allow the injustice of my father to be heard."
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the people kneeling below, a smile on his face. "You are right! But back then, I asked you to go to the border to serve the country. You offered a condition... to take the imperial examination, and I immediately agreed. This is a first for my Southern Dynasty. You really impressed me! However, you took my joke seriously."
"Your Majesty!"
Gu Rongyu was sweating profusely from anxiety. He had promised to redress his father's grievances! Well said, as long as he returned triumphantly, everything would be settled!
Now, he has his father, the general, surrendered, but... but...
"It's no use yelling... You need to know! What is the reverse scale... I can promise you wealth and glory, or I can let you be a commoner like before."
The emperor said nothing more and got up and left.
Lord Lu stood up and looked at Gu Rongyu behind him, who was helping him to his feet. He whispered, "It seems it's useless. The Prime Minister is still of some use now, so the Emperor dares to protect him like this! If the case is investigated, the first person to suffer will be the Prime Minister. The Emperor does not want to lose such a capable assistant."
Everyone understands the truth, but... Gu Rongyu still can't let go!
…
Another half month later, a major event shocked the whole country. The State of Zhu sent envoys to pay tribute in order to choose a suitable husband for their princess.
When this news spread, the people began to speculate that the candidate must be the general!
Chang Xixi has always disliked these people!
She just wanted to make a little money for herself and raise the child who shouldn't have been born. Then she would take this opportunity to travel around and live a happy life. She didn't need any manliness or non-manliness!
I didn't take this matter to heart.
On the contrary, the eldest lady of the Zhou family would invite her over from time to time... She couldn't just eat and drink for free. After what happened with Gu Rongyu, Chang Xixi felt that in this life, apart from the Dou family, there was also the eldest lady who showed some warmth.
Other people and things no longer caused any waves in her heart.
Besides, the eldest lady loves her, but unfortunately... this love is mixed with a lot of admiration and a mother's affection for her child, and more or less other things.
When she first came to Ruzhou, she naively thought that it might not be so powerful.
The eldest lady was also thinking of her. Later, I gradually understood that she was thinking of the obedient, well-behaved, beautiful, and well-educated Zhou Zhiwei. She was thinking that she was better than the current Zhou Zhiwei and could bring glory and honor to the Zhou family.
To put it bluntly, I saw that she was sensible and well-behaved. Besides, I had raised her for so many years, so I must have some feelings for her, so I loved her even more.
A family would always look ahead and behind for some interests, let alone the eldest lady, a family like the Zhou family. There are many interests, and it is complicated.
Therefore, she would send some gifts from time to time... expensive and inexpensive. She would send one to the eldest lady, and naturally there would be one for Dou Shi as well.
She has always liked to maintain a balanced relationship, but maybe Gu Rongyu is an exception.
"Divide these into two portions. Send one to the Zhou residence for the eldest lady, and send the other to Panzhi City as fast as you can. Gu Rongyu's death anniversary is almost here. Ask Big Brother to take some snacks. If he's short of money... just withdraw it from the teahouse account."
After Chang Xixi finished speaking, she put on her clothes, took Xiaodoubao in her arms, and got on the carriage to go to Zhou's house for dinner.
When the eldest lady learned that Chang Xixi had brought the child with her, she was so happy that she asked someone to prepare the food that the little bean curd liked.
Chang Xixi grew up in the Zhou family when she was a child. She was very beautiful, with a snow-white body, and she called "Mom" in a baby voice. Everyone loved her.
Now, there is a replica of Chang Xixi, I must like her even more.
The little body was carried down from the carriage by Chang Xixi. Zhou Zhiwei also heard the servants gossiping at home, so he waited at the gate and watched the big and small two walk in hand in hand.
"Oh? I was wondering who it was. You've been keeping your mother so busy, now this and now that. It turns out it's you! Whose child is this?"
A few days ago, Chang Xixi came with her child, and the eldest lady always carried people on her back! Seeing that Chang Xixi didn't dislike it, she planned to bring the child to meet her family this time.
When Zhou Zhiwei got the news, he wanted to come and laugh at her. These people would make trouble for Chang Xixi from time to time.
"It doesn't matter who the child belongs to. What matters is that he is very obedient and well-behaved, and has learned good manners. At such a young age, he can actually practice calligraphy and read at home by himself."
"Mother is praising me."
The little girl beside me spoke in a baby voice, and her newly grown teeth were small and white, with most of them showing from her rosy lips.
"Yeah, I'm praising you."
Chang Xixi was also in a good mood.
