After Empress Dowager Jiang left, the Grand Empress Dowager put down her teacup.
How dare you insult my own grandson?
My great-granddaughter, you say she's not good enough for me?
Alright then, I'll find you a real royal lady and let your family experience the nobility of a royal lady!
The Gu family didn't know that the old lady could get revenge for the humiliation that the Duke of Rong had inflicted on them simply by sending a princess.
This Princess of the Kangwang Mansion is the most unruly daughter of the Ye family. If you tell her how great your Rongguo Duke's Mansion is, she will tell you how great the Ye family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is, and that she herself is a daughter of the Ye family.
Come on, let's compete in power with this princess!
The old lady doesn't care if your family is the Empress Dowager's family or not. Do you know that they are royal descendants? You don't behave properly. You want to act superior in front of my grandson. You bully the Ye family descendants. Then let the Ye family descendants deal with you.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!" Granny Shen whispered a reminder.
"Hmm." The Empress Dowager reached out and helped Granny Shen to her bedroom.
She needs to live well, sleep well, and eat well.
She will support her son's family and make up for all the mistakes of the past few decades, and make it up to all her son's descendants.
She can't fall down. She has to see her son's grandson have another son. Otherwise, no one can take her away!
...
In the bustling downtown area of Beijing, just around the corner lies the Gu family's current residence.
This alley is called Jinming Alley, and it is home to six families: three wealthy merchants and three government officials.
The Gu family lived at the very end of the alley, and their neighbors, surnamed Jin, were in the jade and gold business.
Gu Xin kept craning her neck to look out the whole way, glancing at the street, then at Lu Zheng, and looking around as if afraid that Lu Zheng would be recognized.
Lu Zheng was both amused and exasperated by her conflicted expression—wanting to watch the excitement but also worried about him.
He really wanted to say that no one in the capital city would dare to assassinate him! Besides, even if they did, they wouldn't acknowledge him, would they? Would they acknowledge him to steal his title?
As they approached the fourth house, a young woman in her early twenties came out, carrying a child and followed by a maid.
First, he saw Gu Shouxin and was about to greet him with a smile when he saw Lu Zheng on horseback next to him.
She froze completely.
Lu Zheng was also somewhat agitated.
"Brother Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" Gu Xin asked.
Lu Zheng snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
"Madam Chen, are you going to my house to see Xiaolian?" Gu Shouxin greeted the person.
"Yes, Uncle Gu. In the carriage..." Lu Xue came back to her senses and looked at the carriage.
Then she saw two young men, one of whom was only a few years younger than her, and the other was much younger.
"Huihui, Xinxin, this is Madam Chen, the wife of Vice Minister Chen of the Marble Court. She is also your Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter," Gu Shouxin introduced to the two children.
"Hello, Mrs. Chen, I am Gu Hui." Gu Hui got out of the car and greeted the person.
"Hello, Mrs. Chen, I am Gu Xin. I am Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter, isn't that..." Gu Xin opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Lu Zheng.
...
The group arrived at the Gu residence.
Once inside the gate, Lu Xue handed the child in her arms to Lu Zheng: "You brat, come and hug your niece."
Lu Zheng reached out and took it. Well, luckily he had gained experience holding Gu Ren at the Gu family and knew how to hold a baby.
My niece is only a few months younger than Gu Ren, and she's a little over a year old now. She has big eyes and a chubby little face, and she's just as adorable as Ren Ren!
