Chapter 653 A good thing may not be a good thing for me?
The next morning, before daybreak, several carriages were already parked in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The fifty Chu family guards, all in high spirits, dressed in uniform black tights, with long swords on their waists, stood silently on both sides with a solemn aura.
Manager Wang was checking the supplies on the vehicle inside and out with a few servants to ensure that everything was safe.
Gu Lu and Gu Lanxin changed into plain clothes suitable for long journeys, stood in front of the carriage, and prepared to say goodbye.
At this moment, a small figure rushed over in a hurry.
"Wait for me! Wait for me!"
Gu Qingchen ran to Gu Lanxin breathlessly, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and a bulging cloth bag in the other.
"Sister Lan, this is for you!" Without saying anything, she stuffed the heavy cloth bag into Gu Lan's arms.
Gu Lanxin was caught off guard and almost lost her grip. Curious, she opened a corner of the cloth bag and saw that it was filled with all kinds of strange little gadgets.
There were slingshots, bamboo tubes, and several small packages wrapped tightly in oil paper.
"This is my special itching powder. If anyone dares to bully you, just sprinkle this on him! I guarantee he will cry for his parents!" Gu Qingchen lowered his voice and pointed mysteriously at one of the oil-paper bags.
She pointed to another one and said, "This is a laxative. If someone invites you to a Hongmen Feast, put it secretly in their teacup!"
Gu Lanxin was stunned when she heard this. Holding the bag of "big killer" in her arms, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
Chu Ruohan stood aside, holding her forehead helplessly. Who on earth taught this girl these things?
Gu Junze raised his eyebrows with interest.
Gu Qingchen ran to Gu Lu again, raised his little face, and patted his arm seriously.
"Brother Lu, remember this. When you're out there, don't try to reason with anyone. If you can beat them, beat them. If you can't, run. If you can't run, drug them! My dad said, if you can fight, don't talk!"
Gu Lu looked at this quirky sister with a helpless yet doting smile on his face. He nodded and said, "Okay, brother will remember this."
The time has come, no matter how reluctant we are, we must say goodbye.
Finally, Gu Lu and Gu Lanxin bowed deeply to Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan.
"Uncle, aunt, we are leaving. Please take care of yourselves."
"Go ahead." Gu Junze said in a deep voice, "Remember, the Zhenguo Mansion will always be your home."
The brother and sister turned and got into the carriage. The heavy curtains fell, blocking their view.
The convoy started slowly, and the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over the bluestone road was particularly clear on the streets in the early morning.
Gu Lanxin opened the curtains and looked back.
The majestic vermilion gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the two tall figures in front of the gate gradually faded away in the morning light, and finally turned into a small black dot.
She lowered the curtains, her eyes felt a little hot, but she didn't let the tears fall.
She turned her head and looked at her brother beside her.
"We'll be back."
"Um."
The carriage team turned the corner at the end of the street and disappeared completely.
Gu Junze retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at his wife beside him, and said in a low voice: "Go back."
Chu Ruohan nodded, "I've also made appointments with several cloth shop owners..."
Just as she was about to turn around, she found her daughter still standing there.
"Qingchen?" Chu Ruohan called softly.
Gu Qingchen came back to his senses, swept away the silence, and immediately said: "Mom, you and Dad go back first, I have something to do!"
Chu Ruohan frowned slightly, and looking at her rolling eyes, she knew what this girl was planning.
"Where are you going crazy again?"
"Oh, I've already made an appointment with Gungun and the others!" Gu Qingchen didn't give her a chance to ask more questions. Before she finished speaking, she ran in the other direction like a pony that had broken free from its reins, holding up her skirt.
The voice floated back from afar: "I'll be back later!"
Chu Ruohan looked at her quickly disappearing back, feeling both angry and amused. In the end, she could only shake her head helplessly, waved her hand, and asked the servants to follow her to avoid any trouble.
A teahouse in the south of the city, an elegant seat by the window on the second floor.
Qian Zhenyun was bored and was dipping his fingers in tea, drawing little people on the table.
"Why hasn't he come yet?"
Gu Qingchen propped up his chin, also a little impatient: "That's right, he is always the slowest."
The door of the private room was pushed open, and Lin Jiayou appeared at the door.
Gu Qingchen immediately stood up, hands on hips, and acted like he was about to accuse someone: "Lin Jiayou! Why are you here just now? We've been waiting for almost half an hour!"
Lin Jiayou forced a smile and sat down at the table in silence.
Gu Qingchen noticed something was wrong. She sat back down and moved closer. "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy. Were you bullied?"
Lin Jiayou shook his head, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the teacup.
His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was a little dry: "My aunt, my aunt is pregnant."
His mother's cold and harsh words from yesterday rang in his ears again.
"Jiayou, how could that woman be worthy of giving birth to your uncle's child..."
"Put this in her pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Make sure it's clean so no one will notice."
He didn't dare, he couldn't do it.
The packet of medicine was now in his sleeve, holding a life that had not yet been born.
Gu Qingchen blinked, thinking that he was worried about something else.
"Oh, isn't that a good thing?" She said innocently, "What a coincidence. I heard from my mother that your aunt and mine seem to be sisters. It's a coincidence that they both got pregnant at the same time."
Lin Jiayou's lips moved, but he said nothing. He simply picked up the cup of cold tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The tea is bitter and chills me to the core.
Good thing?
This is not a good thing for him.
Princess's Mansion.
“Snap—”
A fine official kiln teacup was thrown heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Lin Xingyao's chest heaved violently, and her beautiful, well-maintained face was now distorted by anger.
"Waste! How could I have given birth to such a soft-hearted loser!"
She never thought that despite her repeated warnings, Lin Jiayou would actually disobey her orders!
Aunt Zhang, a trusted confidant, stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, calm down. It's not worth getting yourself hurt over such a small matter."
"It's a small matter?" Lin Xingyao turned around suddenly, her eyes like knives. "That bitch is pregnant with my brother's son! You call this a small matter?"
Nanny Zhang lowered her eyes, her voice becoming softer, "Princess, please forgive me for my words. Perhaps it was right for the young master not to take action."
"We are acting too hastily. If we leave any clues behind and the young prince finds out, it will be bad."
"Then what do you say we should do?" Lin Xingyao paced back and forth irritably. "Are we just going to watch that bitch and claim her status through her son?"
