Gu Bochuan clenched his fists. His career needed the help of the Qiao family. This was why five years ago, when his biological mother was still alive, he had to be adopted into Qiao Lanxin's lap.
His biological mother was a slave. Although she was loved by the old lady, she could not call her mother openly, which was always a pain in Gu Bochuan's heart. When he was young, he still didn't understand that since they were all his father's children, his mother should at least be named an aunt. Later, when he grew up, he realized that his mother had good intentions. She wanted him to have the title of legitimate son and rely on the power of the Qiao family, so that his future would be smoother.
The biological mother is like this. If he doesn't work harder, her hard work will really be in vain.
So as soon as he arrived at Qingyun Residence, Gu Bochuan knelt in front of the door and said loudly, "My mother is ill. I would like to kneel in front of Qingyun Residence and pray for my mother."
He must become the most filial child in the world and make Qiao willingly give everything for him.
But of course this was just talk. He knew Mrs. Qiao loved him the most and was reluctant to let him kneel for a long time. Secondly, he was worried that it would delay his homework.
Although Biluo didn't know what happened, she subconsciously helped Gu Bochuan up...
"Since Bochuan has such filial piety, let him kneel." Qiao Lanxin's voice suddenly came from the room.
Not to mention Gu Bochuan, even Biluo was stunned.
Gu Bochuan had no choice but to kneel down. The pampered young master could not stand kneeling like this. After a while, his knees started to hurt.
Gu Shengsheng also laughed happily when she saw her mother punishing the bad guy Gu Bochuan so easily.
[Wow, my mother is so domineering and handsome. 】
Just, wait! Gu Shengsheng's expression suddenly changed: "It's not good, mother, daddy brought that woman to investigate." 】
That woman is naturally Cuizhu.
It would be a lie to say that Qiao Lan is not sad at all. Whether it is Gu Bochuan or her husband Gu Jing'an, she has given her sincerity.
If Gu Bochuan is really Gu Jing'an's son, they have only been married for more than ten years, Gu Bochuan is already 12 years old, and the child was born before their marriage.
I thought she was the daughter of a first-class university scholar. At that time, Gu Jing'an was just his father's most proud disciple.
At that time, the Gu family had long been in decline, and the Qiao family was full of glory. She married innocently.
Regardless of family status, Qiao's father insisted on marrying his daughter to Gu Jing'an, all he wanted was Qiao Lanxin's lifelong happiness. Who knows, this was a scam from the beginning.
Thinking of the past, Qiao Lan leaned on the couch sadly. As soon as Gu Jing'an came in, she still said softly, "Husband, you are back."
Qiao Lanxin thought that he would look after the child first. After all, you have to put on a show, but she didn't expect, "Why did you let Bochuan kneel outside in such a cold day? He is still wearing such thin clothes."
An ice cellar-like chill filled her heart, and Qiao Lanxin turned pale, "Husband, I just gave birth after a narrow escape, and you questioned me first without even looking at the child?"
Gu Jing'an was stunned. Qiao Lanxin, who used to look like a little bird when seeing him, seemed different today.
In ancient times, it was a big mistake to have no children. Qiao Lanxin has been unable to achieve anything for ten years since she was married. She felt guilty and had lost all the edge in her body, leaving only her submissiveness.
"Master, that's not what he meant," Cuizhu from behind quickly interjected.
"Oh?" Qiao Lanxin raised her head and looked at Cuizhu, "I don't know what the master means. You have become a roundworm in his belly and you know him better than I do. So tell me, what does the master mean?"
"It's such a cold day. The child didn't wear enough clothes and had to kneel in the wind. I just feel sorry for him," Cuizhu said.
"Is it you who feel distressed, or the master?" Qiao Lan looked at Cuizhu with heart-wrenching eyes.
At this glance, Cuizhu's heart almost jumped out of her throat. Cuizhu quickly lowered her head and said, "Madam, I don't dare."
Qiao Lanxin looked at the two people working together in front of her, "Well, it's just the child's filial piety. This is my fault. Let him get up."
"You go down." Gu Jing'an waved Cuizhu to go down. Cuizhu quickly went out to help Gu Bochuan and helped him all the way to the west wing.
"Lan Xin, are you angry with me? Do you think I came back late? I'm sorry, can I admit my mistake to you? Please hold our daughter and show me." Gu Jingan sat on the bed with a smile on his face. Warmth.
His apology was always useful to Qiao Lanxin. Even on their wedding night, he made Gu Lanxin wait for him all night on the pretext of worshiping his ancestors. His apology immediately earned her forgiveness.
How stupid she was before, how hateful she is now!
[I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping, I don't want to be hugged by my scumbag father. 】
Qiao Lanxin said, "The child just fell asleep and woke up when she moved."
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Gu Jingan smiled.
[He lied, he didn’t want to hug me at all. Cuizhu is about to send someone to call the scumbag father. They are gangsters and they are ganging up to deceive their mother. 】
As soon as Gu Shengsheng finished speaking, Mrs. Li's voice beside the old lady came from outside the door, "Sir, the old lady asked you to go to the study. She said there is something important."
"Lan Xin, you should also sleep for a while. I will come to see you later." Gu Jingan said and left.
Qiao Lanxin looked at the man's back, so familiar yet so unfamiliar. No matter how hot the charcoal fire in the room was, it could no longer warm her heart.
[My beautiful mother won’t cry, but my scumbag father and Cuizhu are eyeing my mother’s dowry, hoping to pave the way for Gu Bochuan’s official career. It's not too late to keep the money first, and then take care of the two old men. 】
Sixth child?
Qiao Lanxin touched her face and realized that she was crying. She quickly wiped them away because it was not worth shedding another tear for that bitch man.
The Gu family fell into decline. Although it relied on the Qiao family, it has improved slightly, but its financial resources are still thin.
When Qiao Lanxin got married, the Qiao family gave her several shops as dowry, and the annual revenue was more than ten thousand taels, all of which was used to subsidize the Gu family.
In the past few years, Gu Jing'an took in two more aunts. As the family grew, the expenses became even greater. There were always times when the money was not available, so Qiao Lanxin had to supplement her own gold and silver jewelry. It was really stupid.
That sincerity is given to each other, but all that sincerity is fed to the dog.
"Biluo, go and find Uncle Xu for me." Qiao Lanxin suddenly spoke.
Biluo didn't know what happened to Madam today. Ever since she gave birth to the little lady, she had become very strange.
Biluo couldn't help but ask, "Madam, did something happen?"
[Sister Biluo was a good person, but she died miserably in the end. She accidentally ran into Zhazha’s father and Cuizhu having an affair, and wanted to tell her mother, but she was strangled to death by Cuizhu and thrown into a mass grave. 】
Qiao Lanxin suddenly felt distressed. Biluo was her dowry maid. She had followed her for many years and she knew her character best. Qiao Lanxin decided to tell Biluo what happened.
