"Doesn't it look novel in style? My father said that he specially sent someone to find the best craftsman to make this hairpin for me!" Gu Qing smiled cleverly and glanced at a figure passing by the window.
If it was Gu Yunzhao's man, she wouldn't care.
This way, Gu Yunzhao would believe that she was still the innocent and filial daughter who would remember whatever he gave her.
He's Aunt Liu's person, and that's exactly what she wants!
"Young Madam, you..." Cuiru looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
It was just a table decoration made of ordinary wood, not even mahogany.
It was actually said by the young lady, this is a hairpin!
If someone saw this scene, they might think that their young lady had gone insane.
"Hey, my father said he'd give me a treasure for my birthday this year. I've heard the elders of the Gu family mention it before. They say the Gu family has a Dust-Repelling Pearl hidden away. Wherever it's placed, the surrounding area will be spotless. It's incredibly powerful. I wonder if my father wants to give me this?"
"Young Madam, are you serious? Are there such treasures in the world? Even the treasure house in the imperial palace may not have them." Cui Ru said in agreement with her.
What is this Dust-Repelling Bead? It’s actually just something Gu Qing made up!
Cui Ru was very tactful and added, "However, even if Master Gu gave such treasures to you, Young Madam, then you should have received them. Yesterday, you were awarded two gold medals of immunity from death and the phoenix hairpin given by the Empress. What an honor! You represent the dignity of both the Gu and Chen families!"
She is right.
Now, Gu Qing’s every word and action not only represents the Gu family, but is also closely related to the Chen family.
It is not an easy task to preserve the Chen family, force the Gu family into a desperate situation, and get rid of both her and Chen Zhizhou.
…
In the blink of an eye, it really met her expectations, and the news about the Dust-Repellent Beads soon reached the ears of Gu Miao and her daughter.
Madam Liu clenched her fist, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She glared at the maidservant in discontent, "Are you sure you heard clearly just now? Did the eldest lady really say that the master wants to give her the Gu family heirloom?"
What heirloom? She had never heard of it since she entered the Gu family!
Gu Yunzhao actually hid this from her!
"Mom, what kind of heirloom is there in our family? Dad is actually going to give the heirloom to Gu Qing, a daughter who married out?" Gu Miao's mood instantly fell into ice.
Once upon a time, they, mother and daughter, thought they had such a high status in the Gu family!
Today, Gu Qing just casually said a few random words behind her back, but it was enough to create a rift between Aunt Liu and Gu Yunzhao...
"Maybe that little bitch Gu Qing said this behind my back on purpose. Miao'er, don't be afraid. The Gu family is yours. As long as mother is still alive, I will never allow that little bitch to step on your head!" Aunt Liu said with hatred.
She must find a way to find an opportunity to get some information out of Gu Yunzhao...
Now Gu Qing already has two golden medals of immunity from death, and she is already difficult to deal with. What if the Gu family heirloom is handed over to her!
When the time comes, Gu Qing will present this treasure to the emperor. Then, how glorious her life will be!
"Dad shouldn't be so stupid. Even if the Gu family has any heirlooms, he shouldn't give them to Gu Qing, unless, unless--" The more Gu Miao spoke, the more scared he became!
Unless Gu Yunzhao changes his mind now and wants to win over the Chen family in private.
This is absolutely impossible!
Can--
Aunt Liu and Gu Yunzhao have been sleeping in the same bed for so many years. She knows very well what kind of person he is. He will do anything to achieve his goal!
Although the Chen family is indeed more powerful than their master, no one can guarantee that they will side with the wrong side. If Gu Yunzhao, in order to protect himself, publicly sides with the Fifth Prince, but secretly sides with the Third Prince...
In this way, when the new emperor ascends the throne, no matter who becomes king or emperor, it will be beneficial to the Gu family!
Aunt Liu didn't dare to think too much about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt cold sweat on her back...
Gu Qing packed a lot of things from her mother's house in large and small bags and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhizhou came to the door at this time.
"Master." Cui Ru was carrying a heavy bag in her hand, with a smile on her face. "Master and Madam are so envious. We've only been apart for a short while, and Master can't wait to come and take Madam home."
Gu Qing subconsciously glanced sideways behind him, not knowing who the person was who came to the Gu family today.
When Chen Zhizhou came to the Gu family, Gu Yunzhao, as the father-in-law, naturally came out to greet him...
"Let's go home." Chen Zhizhou was very tactful and took the things from her hand. After a short pause, he murmured with some dissatisfaction: "The Chen family doesn't need you to eat and drink. You come back to your parents' home this time. People who don't know the situation might think that—"
Do you have to think that she came back to the Gu family to ask for money?
Gu Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Look at what you're saying. These were all bought for me by Daddy. No matter how good the Chen family's things are, they can't compare to what Daddy bought for me!"
What she said was true.
Because most of the things Cui Ru and her friends took with them before leaving were given by Gu Yunzhao.
It was simply that when Gu Miao wanted something, the price was too expensive, or it was inappropriate for his status...
Gu Yunzhao would always use the excuse that he loved his daughter so much that when he prepared something for Gu Qing, he would also buy one for Gu Miao.
In her previous life, she hadn't figured out these things. She thought the magnolia flower was the most suitable for her to wear, as it was noble and elegant. Look at Gu Miao's hairpin, which was either gold or silver.
After getting on the carriage and taking his seat, Gu Qing couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "It's all his money anyway, if he doesn't want the things, who knows who will benefit from it in the end."
This time when she returned home, she discovered that many things were missing from her boudoir...
Although she really doesn't care much about material possessions.
But in the entire Gu family, who else but Concubine Liu and her daughter could dare to covet her things so blatantly?
"Okay, okay, whatever my lady says is right. It's up to you." Chen Zhizhou looked at her with eyes full of love and doting.
While speaking, he took out a silk handkerchief from the sleeve of the person in front of him and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Such behavior...
"I'll do it myself." Gu Qing said as he reached out to grab the handkerchief.
People are coming and going on this long street.
No matter what, Chen Zhizhou holds a high position, and it would be embarrassing if someone saw him.
"My wife didn't even ask me what I did today? I miss you so much, but you are so heartless!" Chen Zhizhou started the mode of a resentful husband again, muttering in frustration.
