Gu Chengxuan led Qian Qian around the street, making Qian Qian very happy. After playing for most of an hour, Gu Chengxuan had already led Qian Qian far away, and bought Qian Qian candied haws, sugar figures, and various other things. A neat little gadget.
Qian Qian ate the candied haws and said to Gu Chengxuan, "The street is so fun, you are so kind!"
She smiled when she was happy, her eyes were like crescent moons, and they were so beautiful.
"As long as you are happy, I will take you to another place."
When Gu Chengxuan suggested it, Qian Qian immediately nodded in agreement and followed him.
Not long after, we arrived at the place.
"Where is this?" Qian Qian asked curiously.
On her left was the bustling market, and on her right was the entrance to a deep alley, like a black hole, with some beggars lying inside. Their greedy eyes were exposed at the entrance, which looked a little scary.
Qian Qian accidentally saw a pair of eyes, and subconsciously leaned closer to Gu Chengxuan, saying in a soft voice, "I'm afraid..."
Gu Chengxuan coaxed nicely, "Don't be afraid, just wait here and I'll buy you some delicious pastries."
Qian Qian immediately tightened his clothes and said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Chengxuan pulled the clothes back without leaving a trace, "It's too far, you can't walk, just wait here for me, I will be back soon."
Qian Qian curled her lips and said, "Okay then, come back soon."
Gu Chengxuan nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I'll be back when your candy and candied haws are finished."
He glanced at the candied haws and the not-so-big candy man in his hand, and immediately became happy, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
Gu Chengxuan walked away, walked a few steps, then turned around and waved to her.
Qian Qian was eating happily without seeing him at all.
Gu Chengxuan turned around and walked faster.
She was a very pretty little girl, soft and waxy, fragrant and sweet. It was a pity to throw her away like this, but who told her to have anything to do with Yu Jinxi?
Anyone who goes against him and his mother will die.
Gu Chengxuan said he was going to buy pastries, turned around and ran in the other direction. After turning a few corners, he went straight to Tongluo Alley.
Gu Chengxuan walked for another half an hour before knocking on the door of a house in Tongluo Lane.
After a while, the courtyard door opened, and a girl came out with her head peeping out. When she saw Gu Chengxuan, she was even more surprised, "Young Master, why are you here?"
"I can come whenever I want, how dare you, a slave, interfere with my affairs?"
With an angry look on his face, Gu Chengxuan kicked the girl away and walked inside.
The girl was unprepared. She was kicked by Gu Chengxuan and sat on the ground without daring to make a sound. She quickly got up and locked the door.
Gu Chengxuan walked directly into the room. A woman was resting on the imperial concubine's couch, and the girl next to her was gently pressing her head.
Hearing the footsteps, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Chengxuan keenly.
"Xuan'er, why are you here at this time?"
She looked surprised and sat up quickly.
"Mother, my son misses you."
Gu Chengxuan put away his anger and walked towards her with an aggrieved look.
"Son, have you been wronged? Tell your mother that she wants to settle the score with your father."
Liu Ruyan pulled Gu Chengxuan to sit next to her. Although she had gained weight, her figure was still the same. Her face was fair and delicate, and her skin was soft and delicate. Her black hair was pulled into a woman's bun, with a beaded flower hairpin on it. .
Wearing a long gown with dark red lines and a long white skirt, she was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, looking pure and tender, like a budding hibiscus, with spring in her eyebrows and eyes.
It's no wonder that Gu Qiheng couldn't forget her. He had seen so many men in the building, and Liu Ruyan knew best what men liked about herself.
So even though she was pregnant, she never tired and dressed herself up carefully every day. No matter when Gu Qiheng came over, he could always see her most beautiful side.
Gu Chengxuan told Liu Ruyan what happened today aggrievedly, "Mom, dad would never treat me like this before. Now Yu Jinxi doesn't like me, and dad dotes on Xiaoniang Yin. No one in the house cares about me at all."
"Mother, why don't you come into the house? If you're not with me, that hidden little mother will almost take away my father's soul."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's pretty face was troubled, "But if I enter the house now, I will be a concubine. Xuan'er, mother has worked hard for so many years not just to be your father's concubine."
"I know."
Gu Chengxuan said quickly, "You go to the mansion first and take care of Yu Jinxi first. She was about to die, but she invited a great immortal. It was inexplicable. Now the little girl that the great immortal placed in her town house has been lost to me. , you can go into the house and use your skills a little, you don’t have to worry about Yu Jinxi not dying."
"As long as she dies and dad steps in to straighten you out, you will no longer be a concubine. If you delay any longer, I'm worried that Miss Yin will really lure dad away."
Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, then put her slender hands on her belly, "But mother is pregnant. If she enters the palace, the secret will definitely be revealed soon."
Gu Chengxuan said, "Mother, you have to use your pregnancy to enter the house now. Otherwise, when your younger brother and sister are born, it will be even harder to carry the child into the house."
Although what Gu Chengxuan said made sense, Liu Ruyan didn't want to be so aggrieved when entering the palace. She had been aggrieved for so many years, and finally waited until Gu Qiheng became a high official. She just thought that one day Gu Qiheng would be able to carry eight sedans, and he would be so glorious. married her.
Once you become a concubine, you will never even think about it in this life.
Gu Chengxuan saw her hesitation, and immediately held Liu Ruyan's arm and started acting coquettishly, "Mother, please come into the house. Without you to protect me, even dad doesn't care about me anymore."
Seeing her son's aggrieved look, Liu Ruyan softened her heart, touched Gu Chengxuan's head, and agreed with a wry smile.
"Okay, Mom promises you that she will accompany you soon."
Hearing Liu Ruyan's personal promise, Gu Chengxuan laughed. At noon, Gu Chengxuan was having lunch with Liu Ruyan. The girl outside the door who had just finished eating hurried in and said anxiously, "Madam, someone is knocking outside. Door."
Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
The girl quickly said, "It's from the Xie family next door. She said she came to see the young master."
Upon hearing that it was the Xie family, Gu Chengxuan immediately became energetic, "Mother, it should be Xie Yao who came to see me."
Liu Ruyan hummed, and then said worriedly, "Xuan'er, Xie Yao is a bastard, and his father has nothing to do with the Duke's mansion now. Do you... still want to continue to have contact with him?"
Gu Chengxuan said, "How could mother think so? Didn't dad say that? Xie Yao's dad and the Duke's Mansion have broken bones and tendons, and there are other interests at stake. We don't want to take advantage of them to build a good relationship while they are down. , when they come back, where can they get involved?"
Liu Ruyan thought about the same truth. If his son made more friends, he would never suffer.
Gu Chengxuan walked quickly towards the door, but hesitated when he opened the door. He asked the girl to go out and deal with it first, while he hid aside.
Xie Yao is a concubine, and now that his relationship with the Duke's government has faded away, he can't be stupid and be always available as before.
As soon as the door opened, before the maid could speak, the person outside said, "I am Xie Yao, there is a little girl here looking for Gu Chengxuan, where is your master?"
"I'm Qianqian, I'm here to see Gu Chengxuan."
The familiar voice set off alarm bells in Gu Chengxuan's heart. How did this girl find herself here?
