"You are kind."
Gu Huaizhi said something inexplicable. Sang Liwan felt it was a little strange. When she was about to ask again, she heard him say something even stranger.
"If Xu Shi wasn't your mother, would you still be so devoted to her?"
"What?" There was a hint of suspicion in Sang Liwan's eyes.
She knew that although Gu Huaizhi looked a little nonchalant, he had his own ideas in mind and would not say such ambiguous words for no reason, so the expression on Sang Liwan's face became serious almost in an instant.
However, when she was about to continue asking, Gu Huaizhi seemed to have realized his gaffe and shut up, refusing to say anything more.
But Sang Liwan was an impatient person to begin with. After listening to half of the words, he felt something was wrong with his whole body.
She held Gu Huaizhi back and wouldn't let him leave, insisting that he tell her everything.
Sang Yuyan stood not far away and watched every move between the two people.
She gritted her teeth as she saw Sang Liwan reaching out to grab Gu Huaizhi's sleeve, and Gu Huaizhi didn't even show any intention of resisting.
What is the reason for this woman?
She clearly already has Jun Moyi, so why is she still shamelessly seducing Gu Huaizhi?
The expression on Sang Yuyan's face gradually became distorted, and she looked terrifyingly gloomy.
But neither of the two people not far away noticed her abnormality.
Sang Liwan thought Gu Huaizhi was very strange. She had felt from the beginning that Gu Huaizhi was paying too much attention to the affairs of the General's Mansion.
She even had a vague intuition about Xu's illness, thinking it was related to Gu Huaizhi.
Especially when Gu Huaizhi suddenly said such a strange thing, Sang Liwan's suspicion reached its peak.
Not to mention that Gu Huaizhi actually kept silent about it at this critical juncture.
The word "something's wrong" was almost clearly written on his face.
How could Sang Liwan possibly believe his lies?
"Master Gu, who did you learn this habit of speaking half-sentences from? This is not a good habit."
Gu Huaizhi was grabbed by Sang Liwan's sleeve, and he didn't even think of brushing it off. After hearing what Sang Liwan said, he looked at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"When did the princess become so curious?"
"This princess has always been like this. Is this the first day the prince has known this?"
Yoho.
Even the self-proclaimed title of "this princess" appeared.
Gu Huaizhi lied with his eyes open.
“It was indeed the first day I found out.”
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me, Prince?"
Gu Huaizhi suppressed the smile on his face, pursed his lips, took a step back and said, "One day you will know."
However, such evasive remarks could no longer fool Sang Liwan.
She didn't say anything immediately, but just tilted her head to look at him, until Gu Huaizhi couldn't keep the smile on his face.
"Princess, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sang Liwan snorted softly: "Prince, are you like the prince, thinking that I am a weak woman who can't bear anything, so you hide everything from me?"
When she thought about what Jun Moyi had done without telling her, even though Gu Huaizhi knew about it, no one had told her a single word.
It was obvious that everything was being kept from her.
Gu Huaizhi was speechless for a moment when he saw Sang Liwan's unhappy expression. He realized that he might have to take the blame for Jun Moyi again.
No wonder this person didn't show up.
Gu Huaizhi cursed Jun Moyi in his heart as an old fox, but when he met Sang Liwan's black and white eyes, he really couldn't think of anything to say to her.
He thought about it and seemed to have finally made up his mind.
He raised his eyes to look at Sang Liwan and asked seriously, "Do you really want to know?"
Sang Liwan retorted, "Do I look fake?"
Hearing this, Gu Huaizhi sighed softly.
He turned his eyes to glance at Xu's mourning hall and laughed at himself, "Anyway, I don't want to go in and pay my respects to her, and I don't want you to pay your respects to her either. So even if I tell you now, it doesn't matter."
A terrible intuition suddenly arose in Sang Liwan's heart.
Her heart felt tight.
She couldn't help swallowing, and even her voice was a little hoarse, "What do you want to tell me?"
Gu Huaizhi was about to speak when he saw Sang Yuyan still standing not far away from the corner of his eye.
He frowned, then said to Sang Liwan, "Princess, let's talk for a moment."
Sang Liwan couldn't think of so many things at the moment. She nodded, turned around and took Gu Huaizhi to the backyard.
Sang Yuyan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Gu Huaizhi's personal guards.
Their master wants to tell the princess something important, so how can he allow outsiders to be present?
Sang Liwan took Gu Huaizhi around two corridors and arrived at their own territory.
"This place is hidden enough. Apart from my people, even the prince's people can't get here."
Gu Huaizhi was slightly surprised when he heard Sang Liwan's decisive words.
He seemed to have really underestimated Sang Liwan.
Someone who can carve out a place that belongs to him alone under the noses of so many eyes.
If you don't have some skills, you really can't do it.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi felt more confident about what he was about to tell Sang Liwan.
Sang Liwan saw the look on his face and took the initiative to speak: "No need to say compliments, I am more interested in the serious matters that the prince mentioned."
Gu Huaizhi, whose compliment was already stuck in his throat:...
Just swallowed it whole.
He lowered his head and smiled, with a smile in his eyes, "You do understand me."
However, Sang Liwan did not understand the meaning of his profound words at this moment.
Seeing that Sang Liwan was clearly losing patience, Gu Huaizhi coughed lightly and said, "You've probably guessed it already. Why don't you tell me what your guess is?"
Sang Liwan blurted out what was in her mind: "I'm not Xu's biological child, right?"
really.
Hearing her say this, the only four words that appeared in Gu Huaizhi's mind were "as expected".
At the same time, full admiration appeared in his eyes.
"That's right, you are indeed not Xu's biological daughter. Xu's daughter died at birth, and you are just a baby girl she adopted from outside to secure her position in the general's mansion."
At the beginning, Xu and General Sang had a very good relationship, but she was never liked by her mother-in-law. Although she tried her best to please her, it was of no avail. It was not until she finally became pregnant with her first child that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eased a lot.
But in the end, when Mrs. Sang heard that Xu was pregnant with a girl, she became extremely unhappy. Especially when Xu was about to give birth, she suddenly fell ill and kept saying that Xu was pregnant with a jinx.
