Chapter 2191 Shuang'er
Yun Dai stared at the tea cup and listened quietly.
When Gu Chengan saw that she didn't speak, he continued: "That was an old woman. She said that twenty years ago, she worked as a servant for a beautiful woman, doing rough work like washing clothes. I took out my mother's portrait and showed it to her. She said it was the mother."
At this point, he took a deep breath.
Even though he had known the news for so long, he was still a little excited when he talked about it again.
Compared with him, Yun Dai was as calm as listening to other people's affairs.
"Then what?" she asked casually.
"The old woman only worked for her mother for three years, and then her mother moved away without any servants. I asked her to think about it for a long time, and then she remembered that when her mother left, she took a little girl with her. .”
"Little girl? How old?"
"The old woman said she couldn't remember clearly. She was probably...about ten years old? Anyway, she didn't have any hair, she was still young."
Yun Dai thought for a while and asked, "Does she remember the girl's name?"
"She doesn't know at all. She doesn't even know her mother's name. She only says that she doesn't interact with other people and always wears a hat when going out. It's very mysterious." Gu Chengan frowned.
"Does she know where Ming is going?" Yun Dai asked again.
She directly called her mother Ming, so distant and cold that Gu Chengan couldn't help but look at her.
But her expression was not indifferent, but she was thinking very seriously.
However, she looked too rational and calm, and it didn't seem like she was talking about the people closest to her.
After thinking about it, Gu Chengan felt normal again.
After all, she had just been born when her mother left, and she had never even seen her mother. I don't have any impression of my mother in my heart.
Naturally, I have no feelings for my mother.
Thinking of this, Gu Chengan felt guilty again.
Yun Dai lost her mother when she was born, but he and Yun Wu still enjoyed their mother's love and care for a few years.
Not only did she never receive maternal love, she was even regarded as the bane of her mother and was despised by the whole family.
At first, Sister Yunwu took care of her, which was quite manageable. Later, after Sister Yun Wu was married off by the Ye family, little Yun Dai no longer had any protection.
As his biological brother, not only did he not protect her, he even got close to other concubines.
So much so that when she was only fourteen years old, she was killed and gave birth to a child.
If she hadn't met the emperor, both mother and son would be gone.
Thinking back on these things, Gu Chengan felt regretful and found it difficult to forgive himself.
He lowered his eyes, forced back the sourness in his eyes, tried to calm down, and whispered: "The old woman doesn't know, she only said that she went south."
Yun Dai nodded and asked, "Besides these, what else have you heard about?"
"I followed the old woman's clue, spent some time, and finally found another clue. But it was not about the mother, but about the girl who was taken away by her mother."
"tell me the story."
"The girl seemed to have been abducted by Hanako and rescued by her mother. When my mother left Beiqi, she rented a carriage. I found the tooth shop and finally found the coachman who was driving the carriage for my mother."
Yun Dai said: "It looks like you have put in a lot of effort."
Gu Chengan smiled and said: "After all, it is to find my mother. No matter how difficult it is, we must work hard."
"Go on."
"Yes." Gu Chengan took a sip of tea and continued, "The coachman is also very old. Twenty years have passed and he doesn't remember many things. But he remembers one thing. He overheard his mother I called that child...Shuang'er."
