Chapter 205 Should I call her Aunt Yang now?
Nanny showed a hint of hesitation on her face and asked cautiously, "After all, he is her biological child. Will the master be suspicious?"
"Just say he died of a serious illness. If the master has any resentment or hatred, it will be directed at the Yang family, not us."
"yes."
Behind the screen, Lu Ge'er covered Lan Jie'er's mouth tightly, not daring to move.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the sound of Mrs. Gu San’s even breathing outside, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.
Only then did Lu Ge'er release his hand that was covering Lan Jie'er's mouth, made a gesture to keep quiet, and the two of them tiptoed out of the window.
As soon as they got outside, Lu Ge'er pulled Lan Jie'er and ran deep into the garden, and only stopped when they were sure that there was no one around.
"Brother, is grandma talking about daddy?"
He placed his hands on Lan Jie'er's shoulders and said, "Lan Jie'er, you didn't hear anything just now. Remember?"
"Um."
Sister Lan bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lu Ge'er hugged his sister tightly in his arms and patted her back gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely protect you."
The man's death might be a good thing for them...
On the second day, Lu Ge'er went to Anyang Marquis' Mansion to practice Kung Fu with Ying Qing as usual. He wanted to become stronger, and stronger faster!
He brought Sister Lan along with him...
The Marquis of Anyang brought back a woman and stayed with her in his room for three days.
Chu Ruohan guessed that it should be the girl she met during the Lantern Festival, but she didn't expect it to be Yang Zhaozhao?
"Should I call you Aunt Yang now?"
The smile on Yang Zhaozhao's face froze instantly, "I had no choice."
"Although I am the eldest daughter in the family, I was born out of wedlock. From childhood to adulthood, I have never been able to enjoy any benefits. Everything in the family is controlled by my stepmother, even my marriage is in her hands!"
"Instead of being manipulated by her, I might as well choose for myself!"
As he spoke, the tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Yang Zhaozhao raised her hand to wipe her tears with a handkerchief while secretly glancing at Chu Ruohan.
Chu Ruohan looked calm. She picked up the teacup on the table, gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and took a sip.
She knew in her heart that this seemingly tearful cry was just a deliberate act by Yang Zhaozhao.
She may be really pitiful, but she has indeed stood on the opposite side of herself.
The only reason I'm talking about this now is to gain sympathy.
He wanted to gain a foothold in this mansion through her.
Yang Zhaozhao was also tired of crying. What was the meaning of Chu Ruohan ignoring her and just leaving her like that?
A maid's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the prince is back."
Chu Ruohan's eyes lit up with joy. She put down the teacup and went out to greet him.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Gu Junze striding into the courtyard.
He has a tall and straight figure, with a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows, but he is still handsome.
When he saw Chu Ruohan, a hint of tenderness flashed in Gu Junze's eyes. He hadn't seen her for five days.
"Why are you back?"
"No bathing today."
As he spoke, he took out an oil-paper bag from behind him and handed it to Chu Ruohan.
Chu Ruohan reached out and took it, "What is this?"
"Chestnut cake, from the shop you love the most." Gu Junze raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a doting smile, "I bought it especially for you, it's still hot, come and try it.
She raised her eyes, her eyes full of smiles.
Yang Zhaozhao followed out of the house and saw this scene. A hint of jealousy surged in her heart.
How could Chu Ruohan be so lucky that she married a paralytic and he recovered.
Gu Junze is powerful and influential, but she is the only one in his heart and eyes...
She forced a smile and stepped forward to bow, "Prince, you are back."
Gu Junze's eyes, originally filled with tenderness, turned cold the moment he saw Yang Zhaozhao.
He frowned slightly, "Well, why is she here?"
He looked at Chu Ruohan, waiting for her explanation.
"She is now the concubine of Marquis Anyang."
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze frowned even deeper, and the scene in his mind instantly emerged where Gu Jiacheng had previously insisted on asking him to come forward and propose to the Yang family.
How come she became the concubine of Marquis Anyang in the blink of an eye?
"You have nothing to do here, go down."
The voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Yang Zhaozhao didn't know why the prince suddenly became unhappy. Wasn't he fine just now?
Is it because she was blamed for disturbing the couple's time together?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhaozhao blushed and bowed again and stepped back.
When leaving, she couldn't help but secretly look back at Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan.
Seeing the two of them walking into the house hand in hand, Yang Zhaozhao quickened his pace. Are all men like this?
Urgent...
Inside the room, Chu Ruohan walked around, looking Gu Junze up and down.
Looking at her like this, Gu Junze raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile. He stretched out his long arms and gently pulled her into his arms.
Their foreheads touched, his breath was warm, gently falling on Chu Ruohan's cheek, affectionate and gentle.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Nothing happened at all. Look, I'm back safely, right?"
His voice was deep and powerful, like a dose of reassuring medicine, which gradually put Chu Ruohan's originally anxious heart at ease.
He smiled slightly, but then remembered something and asked, "Is everything going well in the military camp?"
Gu Junze took advantage of the situation and carried her to a chair nearby, where he sat down. He let Chu Ruohan sit comfortably on his lap before he said, "It went pretty smoothly..."
"I've already asked Yingyi to find an opportunity to contact Deputy General Shi. He has some prestige in the army and is Feng Shaoyu's right-hand man. He should know some of the truth behind what happened back then."
After hearing about Gu Junze's experiences over the past few days, Chu Ruohan was filled with hatred. If she had known earlier, she should have beaten that guy named Feng a few more times with the military stick.
However, she did have a way to help Gu Junze deal with the matter of Lieutenant General Li.
She raised her eyes and asked softly, "How many days can you stay this time?"
"We have to go back tomorrow. According to military rules, we can take a day off every five days."
"Come with me to see someone."
"who?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
Having said that, he pulled Gu Junze up and walked out the door.
Along the way, Chu Ruohan told Gu Junze about Zhiqiu's current situation, but he was still shocked when he saw him.
He slowly walked to Zhiqiu, squatted down, and gently took her hand and placed it on his face.
"Aunt Zhiqiu..." His voice was choked with sobs, almost unable to speak. "I am Junze, do you remember?"
"Jun...Ze?" Suddenly, she smiled, a smile that was a bit dazed. "Don't run around. The princess will be worried if she can't find you later..."
Hearing these words, Gu Junze could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"She remembers, she still remembers..."
"Aunt Zhiqiu, do you remember anything else? For example...about my mother?"
He added, "Princess Anyang..."
