There was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of the maid's footsteps.
Gu Qingyuan sat in front of the desk, looking at the hairpin in her hand and the text message.
The hairpin looked familiar to her at a glance.
It can be said that it is exactly the same as the one left to her by her adoptive mother Qin.
She took out the hairpin from the dowry box. This pair of hairpins was supposed to be a pair.
For unknown reasons, it was split into two pieces and ended up in the hands of different people.
And that text message, before she finished reading it, Gu Qingyuan’s fingertips were trembling.
I read it slowly, word by word, and my mind became confused.
If the person who sent them had no malicious intent, then these things would be enough for her to slowly explore and find her biological parents.
It is said to be a text message, but the amount of information is enough to make people feel frightened.
Who sent this letter? What do you want to do?
It's a pity that the person who sent the letter didn't want her to know. After sending the letter in, he disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qingyuan read the letter carefully over and over again, and took out the jade lock piece she left that day.
There was a mark printed on it, and she put the pattern on the hairpin and the mark on the jade lock piece together.
The blurry shadow in her mind suddenly became clear.
And when she rubbed the patterns on the hairpin and the patterns on the jade lock piece together.
Gu Qingyuan felt a little cold all over...
She couldn't believe what she saw with her eyes, and her mind was buzzing.
Inside the house, it was so quiet for a moment that it made people panic.
Gu Qingyuan stared at the pattern on the rice paper for a long time.
The letter was delivered to her by a mysterious person.
It should be expected that the things in her hands are complete, so if they are given to her, will they alienate them, or will they alienate the Pei family and the Gu family?
Or maybe it's the eldest prince and the prince's line?
And are these messages true?
Gu Qingyuan doesn't know.
She stopped at the sentence at the end of the text message: If you want to know more details, please talk in detail on the top floor of Linjiangxian at three o'clock in the morning.
Not everyone can go up to the top floor of Linjiang Fairyland.
Either rich or noble.
Gu Qingyuan subconsciously looked at the carvings in the corner of the room.
There is more than enough time to go to Linjiangxian at this time.
Thinking that Pei Jinting seemed to be coming back soon, I left him a letter and told him about going to Linjiangxian.
She changed her clothes and went out, and soon went to Linjiangxian. As soon as she entered, the shopkeeper saw her and took her directly to the top floor without saying a word.
In the lobby, the storyteller was talking about an important point, saliva flying everywhere, and the onlookers below stared at the storyteller closely.
As the steps went up step by step, Gu Qingyuan, who was a little impulsive before, calmed down now.
Is this a trap?
Should she believe it or not?
Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, but she wanted to find out whether what she said above was true.
Once it is true, how will she feel?
The door to the top floor was open, and someone was already waiting for her inside.
It looked like a man dressed as a woman, with his back to her.
Seeing that the woman was alone, Gu Qingyuan relaxed her vigilance.
In the end, he paused for a while by the door and asked,
"I don't know..."
The woman sitting on the couch with her back to her turned around, with a beautiful face and neat clothes.
She could still vaguely remember that this person was the steward aunt who used to serve Concubine Lu.
I followed Concubine Lu when she was young, and later entered the palace. I don’t know which year, but after she left the palace, she disappeared without a trace.
Why does she appear here? And can she go to the top of Linjiangxian?
Gu Qingyuan felt that there was a strange silence in the room.
She seemed to smell the smell of rotting wood again when Ruan and the others were still in the Gu family.
The steward's aunt took Gu Qingyuan's stunned look into her eyes, curled her lips, and sighed compassionately, she said,
"Speaking of which, she looks a little different from your mother. After all, she is young and ignorant."
Gu Qingyuan was horrified to see the sympathy for her in the eyes of the steward aunt.
Just listen to the aunt say coldly,
"My husband's family is in Shandong and I haven't been to Beijing for a long time. I heard that you married the third son of the Pei family."
Gu Qingyuan was brought up to the Qin family as a child. Later, the Qin family passed away. She longed to get some love from the Ruan family, the so-called biological mother.
Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed.
Later, her identity was revealed by Mrs. Ruan and Gu Yunniang. She had high hopes for this, but all she got was disappointment.
She didn't feel uncomfortable about that reality.
Perhaps this is the fate God gave her.
It doesn't matter, she still has her father and Pei Jinting.
She was dubious about the letter sent by the mysterious man today. She didn't want to find family ties, she just wanted to find a place for herself.
When Gu Qingyuan came today, she never expected to hear such a secret.
She couldn't forget what the aunt in charge of Concubine Lu said,
"You should know, Imperial Concubine, no, the current Imperial Concubine, Lu, lived in the Qin family for a period of time."
"I had a close relationship with your adoptive mother Qin. Later one entered the palace and the other married the Duke of Zhenguo..."
"Did you know that the person who entered the palace was supposed to be your adoptive mother, but for some reason, it turned out to be Concubine Lu?"
Gu Qingyuan's whole body was cold. She didn't know such secrets, but what did these have to do with her birth?
"Your mother was just a victim of the imperial power. On the eve of her entry into the palace, she lost her innocence... This matter was covered up."
She only felt that her aunt's face was like a cannibal abyss, and her mouth opened and closed like a bloody mouth.
"The person she lost her virginity to was Duke Chengen..."
Duke Cheng'en? Pei Jinting's father?
Gu Qingyuan trembled all over and just wanted to plug her ears with something. Standing by the door, she just wanted to escape.
Her feet were one step ahead of her brain, constantly retreating.
The steward's aunt watched her movements, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said nothing.
After recovering from the initial shock, Gu Qingyuan's voice trembled, "No...how is this possible?"
If the adoptive mother lost her virginity to Duke Chengen, then the person she should marry should also be Duke Chengen. Why did she marry her father instead?
This incident is indeed bizarre and unbelievable, but what does it have to do with where she was born?
At first she didn't understand why the text message lured her here.
Now I know it.
It is necessary to separate her and Pei Jinting.
The aunt in charge of Concubine Lu suddenly appeared and was able to go to the top floor of Lin Jiangxian.
Is it the eldest prince or concubine Lu?
Is it to take revenge on Concubine Lu for causing her to lose her title of imperial concubine and for causing her to be grounded by another emperor?
She looked straight at the aunt in charge, took two steps forward,
"This is a grudge between the elders. It has been going on for many years. So what if it is revealed now?"
"Your Highness, King Qin, I wonder what you want to do?"
Gu Qingyuan passed over the aunt in charge and directly called out the title of the eldest prince.
That momentum was a bit aggressive.
Her back was straight.
The palace is a place that can eat people. For the sake of the supreme power, you can do anything.
How dare she believe what these people say?
Sure enough, a figure appeared from the screen behind the steward's aunt.
