She went to bed too early at night, the crimson gauze curtain fell, and Gu Qingyuan still didn't feel sleepy.
She tossed and turned on the couch, feeling empty for some reason, as if a big piece was missing.
Before the incident in the pavilion, Pei Jinting originally wanted to take her to the old residence of the old Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty to explore the situation.
Later, it was delayed because of Qin Lu's matter.
She can't go with her, but things have to be done.
Pei Jinting was very busy these days, sometimes going out with Prince Jing, sometimes going out alone, and he always came to her house in the middle of the night.
Before going out today, he specially sent a letter and did not reply in the evening.
As time went by, the poison in her body seemed to be resolved, becoming weaker and weaker, and not as hot as before.
If she gets bumped into each other, she can pass.
She looked at the empty bed beside her.
The surging emotions gradually calmed down.
The curtain was lifted and lowered to the ground. The moonlight filled the sky with the half-opened window lattice, covering the whole room.
It dispelled the boredom in Gu Qingyuan's heart.
Now that the Qin family's affairs are almost settled, she should also make plans to go to the border to join her father.
It's just what happened back then. She didn't care who her biological father was, but she still wanted to find out who designed the Qin family back then.
When it was time to go to the room to greet Mrs. Qin, she asked about it over and over again.
"Grandma, how did my mother marry my father back then?"
Although the Qin family was not considered a high-ranking family, it was not considered a small family in Kyoto back then. For a young lady, it took half a year from engagement to marriage.
My mother got married in such a hurry, what happened before and after she was born?
She did not doubt the affection between her mother and father. When so many things were mixed together, she realized that they might not have fallen in love at first sight, but had grown in love over time...
Mrs. Qin twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and when she heard Gu Qingyuan's question, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Withered hands caressed the top of Gu Qingyuan's hair, her voice was a little intermittent,
"Your mother used to..."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but think of her daughter's situation back then.
She was the only daughter she gave birth to with all her might. She was well-behaved and well-behaved. At first, she was favored by the emperor and selected into the palace. The Qin family's ancestral graves were filled with smoke.
In those days, my daughter stayed at home obediently and waited for the day to enter the palace.
Who would have thought that once at a banquet, someone else got in the way and his innocence was lost.
That man was actually the eldest son of the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty was already married. How could an innocent daughter be a concubine?
Fortunately, Gu Shao, who was still the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen at that time, stepped forward and married his daughter and returned home.
On the emperor's side, in order not to offend the emperor, the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty proposed to help the Qin family create another noble concubine.
At that time, apart from their daughters, the Qin family only had one cousin, who is now Concubine Lu.
It was okay to live like this.
But who would have thought that that year when Gu Shao went to Beijing to fight against bandits, his daughter went to the palace alone for a banquet, and she would meet that beast again, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty.
When she heard about it, she was trembling with rage.
She went to the Ming family to seek justice, but was stopped by her husband.
"So what if I go to find her? Should I let others know that my daughter has lost her virginity? What will happen if my son-in-law comes back? I can bear it once, but who would be willing to do it a second time?"
"Do you want the entire Qin family to accompany you? How can you compete with the Ming family?"
That time, she slapped her husband bitterly.
I just felt like my anger was about to explode. What kind of father could say such things?
How can a person who has read the books of sages and comes from a famous family be so shameless as to covet other people's wives?
She felt that her blood vessels were going to burst. What made her even more frightened was that her daughter lost her innocence for the first time, and it was actually caused by a mole in the family.
The inhumane medicine was brought back by her eldest son.
While the world was spinning, she gritted her teeth and asked her husband, "Where is your integrity? Will you dare to meet the ancestors of the Qin family in the future? Your daughter has been bullied by a beast. Not to mention revenge, you don't even dare to beat the beast."
In order to prevent her from causing trouble to the Ming family, her husband locked her in the yard and did not let her go out until much later.
After that, their daughter gave birth to a dead baby, and the Ming family promised the third son of the family an official position as compensation.
In the following years, she watched with cold eyes as her husband was used as a pawn by the Ming family, bossed around.
Fortunately, my daughter and her son-in-law were on good terms, and the son-in-law did not dislike her. When he learned that his daughter could not have children, he adopted a daughter from his second wife.
However, the successive blows made the daughter's body become weaker and weaker day by day. In the end, the world and the world were separated forever, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person.
Mrs. Qin's mood fluctuated violently, with a moist light in her eyes. Gu Qingyuan was sensitive and naturally noticed it.
"Your father met your mother once in his early years, and then he fell in love with her at first sight. Something happened in the family at that time, and it was hard for your father to marry your mother and treat her like a jewel."
Mrs. Qin stroked Gu Qingyuan's hair and said, "From now on, you must be filial to your father. Don't care what others say, you are your parents' child."
What does blood mean? For the sake of the future of the family, didn’t his biological father sell his daughter anyway?
Fortunately, she didn't make things easier for the old man who was worse than a beast. After returning to Rencheng, she added chronic medicine to his meal, so that the old man could only lie in bed all year round.
There is no way to stir up trouble anymore.
"My father said that my mother once had a child. If it survives, will it be as big as my granddaughter?"
Gu Qingyuan's heart moved slightly and she tried another way.
Mrs. Qin was still immersed in the past and couldn't calm down. After hearing her words, she sighed,
"Yes. If he survives, he will be about the same age as you."
She looked at Gu Qingyuan for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt sad. Perhaps after raising her for so many years, A-Yuan had somehow become tainted with her daughter's aura. Now that A-Yuan is older, the mother and daughter are somewhat similar.
Maybe, this is God making up for it.
The grandfather and grandson sat in silence for a while, and then Gu Qingyuan left, looking gloomy on the way back.
However, when passing by the waterside pavilion, he bumped into Qin Lu smiling broadly.
Qin Lu seemed to have never been so happy since her cheek injury.
She was sitting in the pavilion of the waterside pavilion. When she saw Gu Qingyuan, the tail of her eyes slightly raised.
"Sister Ayuan, do you want to come over for tea?"
Gu Qingyuan glanced at Qin Lu, who was dressed up. Sitting opposite her was a strange girl.
There was an indescribable sense of familiarity between his eyebrows.
It's not right to say she's a girl. The woman's hair is that of a woman. She's delicate and beautiful, and her dressing style is somewhat similar to her in the past.
With slim shoulders and a slender waist, charming eyebrows and charming eyes, she has an alluring air without even saying a word.
Gu Qingyuan was wondering why such a woman felt familiar to her.
Shuang Wu behind her also exclaimed a little,
"girl……"
Gu Qingyuan looked back at Shuangwu in surprise.
This is the first time I've seen Shuangwu lose his temper.
Even when she first told Yu Shuangwu about her relationship with Pei Jinting, she never saw her being so glum.
The sound was not quiet, and as soon as it hit the ground, Qin Lu in the waterside pavilion looked over.
Qin Lu smiled secretly, extended her hand to Gu Qingyuan and said,
"Sister Ayuan, let's come and have tea together. It's fate that we met."
