Because it happened some years ago, Beibei doesn't remember me very clearly, but Guo Shu looks somewhat familiar.
However, since there are many people in the world who are similar, she didn't take it to heart.
Guo Shu had absolutely no recollection of Bei Bei. Back then, when he was bullied by Duan Kun, Bo Bo happened to save him. At that time, Bei Bei was behind Bo Bo, but he was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he had no impression of her at all.
Madam Duan spoke first: "The Guo family boy?"
Since Madam Duan had spoken, he could no longer remain indifferent. Guo Shu said, "Greetings, Madam Duan."
These words were extremely polite, clearly indicating that they didn't consider her a relative.
When Madam Guo saw Duan Xinru, she recognized them immediately. She had a very bad impression of the Duan family. She could only swallow her anger when Duan Kun plotted against her son back then, but after so many years, she still harbored a deep resentment in her heart!
It's so hard to hold it in.
Looking at Madam Duan now, and thinking about the ways of Duan Kun and Duan Xinru, she really wished she could pry open Madam Duan's head to see what was inside that had raised her two children to be like this. It was truly an eye-opener for her.
Madam Duan looked at Madam Guo and asked, "And who is this?"
Guo Shu: "My mother."
Madam Duan said arrogantly, "So it's Madam Guo the Second. What a coincidence, how did we run into each other here?"
Seeing that the two groups were about to start arguing, Beibei asked Hongye to tell them that she needed to go over there because they were blocking the road.
Hongye: "Ladies and gentlemen, our master has something to attend to downstairs. Please make way for us."
Madam Guo the Second and Guo Shuli stood next to Wang. Madam Guo the Second said very apologetically, "I'm really sorry."
Hongye smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Madam Guo and Guo Shu were unwilling to block the way, but someone else was not. Madam Duan had actually heard from the maid beside her that the person who wanted to pass was the same person who had not given her daughter any face earlier.
Perhaps because the Duan family's development has been mediocre in recent years, Madam Duan has rarely attended banquets outside her social circle, and thus she has become somewhat arrogant due to the flattery she receives from people of the same and lower social classes.
"Wait a minute, wasn't it you who just stole my daughter's clothes?!"
Beibei thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect there to be a follow-up.
She was getting a little impatient. Although she didn't like to argue with people, she didn't want to keep testing her patience.
Beibei ignored her and frowned, saying, "Red Leaf."
When Hongye came out, she said something to Madam Duan this time, and directly told the palace maid she brought, "Please ask this lady to step aside and not block the master's way."
The palace maid quickly "invited" Madam Duan aside, but Madam Duan was naturally unhappy: "Who are you people, daring to treat me like this? If you have the guts, state your names."
Before Hongye could say anything more, Beibei looked at Madam Duan. It was the first time she had ever met such an eccentric person, and she wondered how she had managed to grow up safely.
Beibei said directly, "Hongye, you can step back now."
"Yes, Master."
Beibei looked at Madam Duan and asked her, "You want to know my name?"
Madam Duan was a little frightened, but she still forced herself to say, "Of course, if you don't tell me, how will anyone know if you're a human or a ghost?"
Beibei said, "I am not changing my name or surname. My surname is Aisin Gioro, and I live in the Forbidden City. If you have any objections, you are welcome to come and find me."
After saying that, Beibei said to Hongye, "Let's go."
"Yes, Princess."
When Madam Duan heard "Aisin Gioro," she was already terrified. Then she heard that she lived in the Forbidden City, and that Hongye had just mentioned "princess." Madam Duan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her face filled with terror, right before Beibei and the others left.
She was genuinely terrified.
"What did that person just say?"
Duan Xinru was also startled and confused. What should she do?
She hadn't been very nice to that person just now, and now she really wished she could turn back time and beat that arrogant version of herself to death.
"Mother, why don't we go back to the manor first?"
Madam Duan and Duan Xinru were both a little weak in the legs on their way back and had to be supported by their maids to get back.
The two were so engrossed in regret, remorse, and fear that they naturally forgot about the Guo family mother and son standing nearby.
After everyone had left, Madam Guo remarked with a sigh, "I never expected the princess to come to a clothing shop."
Guo Shu thought for a moment and came up with some explanation. He said, "I heard that this shop is run by the second daughter-in-law of Lord Zhang Ying. The second son of Zhang is the eldest prince's study companion. The princess and the eldest prince are siblings, so they must be familiar with each other."
Madam Guo had naturally heard of Zhang Ying's name, but she never expected that the shop was run by her daughter-in-law.
Madam Guo said, "This capital city is truly a place where hidden talents abound. You must be careful what you say no matter where you are, and you must be even more cautious in the officialdom."
Madam Guo knew that the capital was a dangerous place, but she didn't expect it to be this dangerous. Even a small shop had powerful connections behind it that were not to be trifled with.
"Don't worry, Mother, your son will be careful."
Guo Shu's family background was actually nothing special. To be honest, under Yinzhen's rule, the cost of education has been reduced a lot, and most people no longer have a problem with food and clothing.
More and more children from farming families are going to school, but unless they are exceptionally hardworking and talented, it is still very difficult for them to succeed.
