Xue Qianyu is already engaged to Gu Hui, so he's practically a member of the Gu family. Neither Grandma Gu nor Gu Shouxin asked him to leave.
Grandma Gu began to recount what she knew.
Her parents eloped and left Fuzhou. Her mother died during childbirth, and her father took her to Sanchakou Village.
Her father did not know her mother's true identity, only her name. At that time, her father was just the son of a tea merchant in Fuzhou. How could he know about the Goddess Kingdom? So he did not suspect much.
Therefore, the father and daughter always believed that her mother had only given birth to one child and had died in childbirth.
As for the corpse, it was probably a fake one made by the people from the Goddess Kingdom who came looking for her mother!
Because she had heard her father mention that her mother had died, and that her father had vomited blood and fainted. When he woke up, he was in a daze. If it weren't for her crying attracting his attention, her father might have followed her to his death.
She was born in the summer. Her father recovered a few days later, and her mother's appearance was already somewhat rotten. So her father burned her mother.
Someone must have helped her, otherwise how could her newborn baby have survived for several days without food or water?
Queen Dugu knew much more. At that time, Grandma Gu's mother was weak after childbirth, and the situation in the Goddess Kingdom was critical. So she took a child and went back with her, leaving people here to take care of Grandma Gu.
Her plan was to send someone to take care of her grandmother and daughter after she had stabilized the situation in the Goddess Kingdom.
The person who was left to take care of her returned a month later and said that Grandma Gu and her father had suddenly disappeared and they couldn't find them.
Once Grandma Gu's mother stabilized the situation in the Goddess Kingdom, she sent people to search again, but they found nothing.
In the end, it was determined that the person who stayed behind was the one who was causing trouble. She wanted to reassure Grandma Gu's mother to stay in the Goddess Kingdom, so she fabricated such a lie. However, she really didn't know where Grandma Gu and her father had gone.
And just like that, more than fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Because Grandma Gu and Queen Dugu's mother are twins, not only do they look and look alike, but they also have the same temperament. Queen Dugu really treats Grandma Gu as her mother. In front of Grandma Gu, she can no longer see the high and mighty Queen she used to be.
Gu Hui even suspected that this was a fake deception sent by Queen Dugu's twin sister.
“Your Majesty, then…” Gu Shouxin was interrupted by Queen Dugu before he could finish speaking.
"Cousin, don't be so formal! Just call me cousin. Our Goddess Kingdom doesn't have as many rules as the Great Zhou, really." Queen Dugu looked at Gu Shouxin with a smile.
"So, Cousin Dugu, you said you want to negotiate, what aspects do you want to discuss?" Gu Shouxin asked, tugging at his lips.
“Either way is fine! Or, Auntie can come directly to the Goddess Kingdom. We’re all family, so Auntie’s word is law,” Queen Dugu said.
Everyone: "..."
"Your Majesty, we have just received news that the Tenth Princess and her consort have won over many city lords, and they may be planning something big," Xue Qianyu said suddenly, remaining alert.
"Have the two girls who went with Huihui returned? Let me see. They came out of the royal city and passed through Yulong City. Could it be that the city lord of Yulong City has been bribed?" Queen Dugu regained her previous composure and became serious as she asked.
“Not only Jade Dragon City, but also ten of the eighteen cities in the Goddess Kingdom, excluding the royal capital, have been bribed,” Grandma Gu said.
