Chapter 236
In a simple farm in the outskirts of Beijing, a woman in coarse linen was struggling to hang her clothes in the yard.
As soon as it was drying, a rapid knock came from outside the door.
The woman rushed into the house like a frightened mouse and dragged the person who was sleeping heavily on the bed into the cellar beside her with difficulty.
She carefully closed the small door on the cellar and hurriedly shrank into the narrow cellar. As the footsteps sounded above her head, tears filled her eyes.
"mother……"
"Shut up!"
She covered her son's mouth, used all her strength, and had to leave some spare energy to pay attention to the movements outside. She only breathed a sigh of relief until the footsteps gradually left.
"You're going to the gambling house again!" The woman's eyes turned red because of anger. She looked at her fat son in front of her, and a feeling of power rose from her heart.
This is Qiu Yun who brought Gu Hengjin to Beijing from Yuezhou. Along the way, she escaped many dangers with the help of kind-hearted people. She finally came to the capital, but before she could enjoy the life of a noble lady of wealth, she was poured into a cold water pouring on her heart.
Her years of savings were defeated by Gu Hengjin as early as in Yuezhou. Now that she came to the capital, she didn't dare to find Gu Zhiyuan, for fear of being silenced. Even if her son came to the capital, he didn't know how to restrain himself. He still took his home to the casino, thinking about making a profit, but he lost all of them again and again. Not to mention the money left by kind-hearted people, even her previous jewelry was almost completely taken away.
Gu Hengjin's face was covered with fat, and the fat on his cheeks trembled as he spoke, looking very ferocious.
"What's wrong with going to the gambling house?" Gu Hengjin waved his hand, very casually, "My real sister is the third prince's concubine. Not to mention going to the gambling house a few times, even if you want to buy that gambling house..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Yun said annoyedly, "Even if she has that money, I won't let you spend it! You are the eldest master of the Gu family. You should write a book and make a fuss. In the future, you can rely on fame and glory to the ancestors!"
However, Gu Hengjin's face was filled with impatientness when he heard these words: "Mom, why are you still as petty as before and have no knowledge at all? My brother-in-law is the third prince of the dynasty. It's not easy to have him give me a job?"
As he said that, he patted Qiu Yun on the shoulder again and persuaded, "Mom, you have been tired for most of your life. Why not take advantage of this time to have a good rest and leave the rest to me."
"What do you want to do?" Qiu Yun felt an ominous premonition when she heard him speak, and looked at him with vigilance, "I want to tell you clearly that your father was bullied by the Pei family and he dare not recognize us at all. If you and I want to recognize our ancestors, we have to wait for the third prince to inherit the throne..."
"Don't worry about this." Gu Hengjin waved his hand, lifted the straw from the cellar, and shouted, "When I come back next time, it must be when my father carried the sedan chair and asked you to go home!"
When Qiu Yun heard this, she felt a trembling fear in her heart.
She hurriedly followed Gu Hengjin. However, although Gu Hengjin was fat, he was much faster than her. In addition, she was worried that she would startle others. After chasing Gu Hengjin for a few steps, she could only stay where she was, looking at Gu Hengjin's back panting.
Oops.
Qiu Yun's eyes were full of anxiety. She was so anxious that she was wandering around in place. She gritted her teeth and walked towards the direction of the capital.
"Did they go to Beijing?"
Gu Ning was extremely surprised and immediately stood up from the chair.
Chunyu nodded and whispered, "Our people can see clearly, but the fat man went to Gu's mansion, while Qiu Yun went to the Third Prince's mansion."
Hearing this, Gu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly and smiled meaningfully: "Qiu Yun has only been to the capital once, why did she find the Third Prince's Mansion so smoothly? Is it..."
"You guessed it right. It was the second prince's man who deliberately led Qiu Yun to the third prince's mansion. Calculate the distance. She should have seen Gu Qingqiu now."
Gu Ning touched his chin and was stunned: "This second prince is straightforward and neat. I thought he would wait for a while."
"
But thinking about it, the person in the palace was getting weaker and weaker." Gu Ning chuckled and raised an eyebrow at Chunyu, "Go to invite the Lord of Xinyue, and I will invite her to Huixianlou for dinner."
"As the end of the year approaches, it's better for everyone to get together. Huixianlou has released a few new dishes, asking her to call more sisters. It's still so crowded and lively in the snow."
Chunyu immediately understood Gu Ning's intention. She suppressed the smile on the corner of her lips and said seriously: "I will ask someone to invite the Lord of Xinyue."
In the Third Prince's Mansion, Gu Qingqiu woke up today, feeling her right eye twitching, and her uneasy emotions enveloped her whole body.
Seeing that the sunlight outside became more and more dazzling against the snow, her temper became more and more irritable: "Didn't you ask you to tell people to sweep the snow? Why is there so much snow on the ground?"
Banxia half-kneeled and said uneasy: "I have swept through it a long time ago, but it has just snowed again..."
Before he finished speaking, the porcelain cup thrown out of Gu Qingqiu's hand came straight towards Banxia's face. Banxia did not dare to hide, and endured the blow, and a big bag immediately swollen from his forehead.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu's anger dissipated a lot. She personally helped Banxia up, half comforting and half warning: "You have worked a lot these days, and you must be tired. You will have a good rest these days and don't have to come to me to serve you again."
Banxia nodded quickly, not daring to say a word.
She stood up and walked out in small steps. Just when she was about to reach the servant's room, she heard the nannies from the royal palace discussing privately.
"That woman is here again, and she keeps saying she wants to see the princess!" Chinese website
"The princess has a noble status, how could she meet a woman of unknown origin? I think she was crazy. Maybe she heard that the princess is good, so she wanted to come to ask for benefits."
"But I looked at... she is a bit similar to the princess!"
"Shh!" An older nanny quickly interrupted the man, "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful of being heard and complained to the princess!"
"I'm just talking casually. If you meet, you will definitely have the same idea as me!" The nanny said terribly, but she still didn't dare to speculate anymore.
Banxia leaned against the corner of the wall, her eyes full of fear. She covered her mouth and ran to the main yard like a few nannies left.
"Princess! The princess is in trouble!"
Banxia was out of breath and leaned against the door frame and panted.
Gu Qingqiu was even more impatient, and his eyes were filled with displeasure.
However, Banxia's next words made her feel as if she was in an ice cellar, and the coldness swept her whole body at this moment.
