Queen Dugu brought the tinder closer, her face beaming with joy, her eyes brimming with tears.
Originally, Queen Dugu just wanted to sneak over here tonight to see if she could run into the Gu family.
Gu Hui doesn't cooperate with her and doesn't trust her yet, but what she said is true. She's going to talk to the Gu family elders, who is her cousin. How exciting!
She had no idea that the Great Zhou army was able to capture Shennv Mountain because of the efforts of Grandma Gu and her grandchildren. She was even less aware that the three members of the Gu family were still here.
Xue Qianyu stood in front of Queen Dugu, looking at her warily.
Queen Dugu said, "My maternal grandfather was the youngest son of the Gu family, a tea merchant family in Fuzhou. His surname was Gu and his given name was Ting. In his youth, he did not like studying or doing business, but preferred to practice martial arts. He met my maternal grandmother in the Gu family's tea garden, and the two fell in love at first sight. However, because the elders in my maternal grandfather's family did not approve, the two eloped."
Xue Qianyu looked at Queen Dugu with a puzzled expression.
Grandma Gu pulled Xue Qianyu away and looked at the woman in front of her. From her appearance, she couldn't tell anything.
Queen Dugu took out the two jade pendants that had been put back together: "These are my maternal grandmother's jade pendants. She left one for my maternal grandfather and took the other one back to the Goddess Kingdom."
Grandma Gu took the jade pendant. One of the pieces was hers, which she had worn since she was a child. Her father said it was left to her by her mother. The jade pendant had the character "Zhao" on it.
The other piece has the characters "Dugu" on it.
Her mother's name was Zhao. Her father had told her that her mother's surname was Dugu, so her name was Dugu Zhaozhao.
Because her mother died when she was born, she had never thought about her mother in the past fifty years.
Queen Dugu's tears streamed down her face: "Auntie, my mother and you are twins, born of the same mother. Back then, my maternal grandmother wanted to return to inherit the throne, so she took my mother with her, leaving you with my maternal grandfather. Before she passed away, my maternal grandmother told my mother and me that we must find you. My mother sent people to Fuzhou, to the place where she and my maternal grandfather separated, but they couldn't find you. I also sent people to the Great Zhou to search, but there was no news. Auntie, I..."
Grandma Gu raised her hand to stop her from continuing: "Stop!"
Queen Dugu blinked pitifully, like a lonely, wandering child who had finally found her family.
The people around her had already stood up; she had just mistaken Grandma Gu for the late Queen.
As for Xue Qianyu, he remained vigilant. It was quite strange that someone would suddenly appear to claim kinship so late at night.
Grandma Gu frowned and glanced at Queen Dugu: "Do you know where Gu Hui is?"
Queen Dugu nodded happily: "Auntie, I know! Huihui is my cousin's niece! It's just that the child is a bit stubborn and doesn't believe what I say. But I let her stay with my daughter, there are four people protecting her, so don't worry, Auntie. Do you want to see her? I'll have someone bring her over! By the way, Auntie, where's my cousin? And this guy next to him isn't my cousin, is he?"
Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the person should be asking about the second son.
Xue Qianyu smirked, "If what you're saying is true, I'm not your cousin, I'm your nephew-in-law."
Ever since he met the Gu family, he has frequently encountered situations that leave him unable to think clearly.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Queen Dugu ordered her subordinates to go back and bring Gu Hui back. Then she said to Grandma Gu, "Auntie, you really look exactly like my mother. It's a pity that my mother didn't live to your age. Auntie, why don't you bring your uncle along and come to the Goddess Kingdom to be the Supreme King and Supreme Queen for a while?"
