Chapter 276 Mother, Do I Have a Father?
Gu's mother thought that she was an ordinary woman, petty-minded and jealous, and could not pretend that it had not happened.
"I'd rather he came to me to divorce me." Gu's mother leaned against the car wall tiredly, not knowing what she was thinking of, and sighed: "That's fine. He's still alive and living a good life. I The burden on my heart was lifted, and I felt relaxed. Although what happened to him made me sad, it faded away over time."
If after he became successful and famous, he had Mrs. Liu and the child by his side, but still came to Xinghua Village, even if fate played a trick on him, he still hadn't seen their mother and son, and she would have accepted her fate.
At least his words and deeds are consistent, and he attaches great importance to their mother and son.
Gu's mother took out her handkerchief and blew her nose, "Huaizhi and Baozhu want to recognize him, I won't stop them."
Su Wan felt sorry for Gu's mother and hoped that she would be relieved as soon as possible, but Gu Qingsong didn't seem to be someone who gave up so easily.
"Huaizhi feels the same as you."
Gu's mother didn't speak anymore, thinking of Baozhu asking her when she was a child, why she didn't have a father when her other friends had dads. After Gu Qingsong comes back, will Baozhu be happy knowing that he has a father?
Back at Gu Mansion, Gu's mother returned to her room.
Su Wan felt uncomfortable when she saw the cloth placed on the table by the secret guard.
"You didn't go to see your mother?" Gu Huaizhi came back and saw Su Wan standing by the table, staring at the cloth on the table with a complicated expression. He stepped forward and hugged her: "There was an accident?"
"I picked up my mother and was about to leave the capital. I met King Changxing on the way." Su Wan described the scene to Gu Huaizhi and said worriedly: "My mother's character is also very extreme. The relationship between her and King Changxing is either pure or pure. Flawless, if there are flaws, she will never want it again."
Unless Gu Qingsong appeared by Gu's mother's side during her most difficult time, she might have forgiven him for the sake of her children.
"Mom said you and Baozhu would repair your relationship with him, and she wouldn't stop you."
Gu Huaizhi frowned, "I'll arrange for someone to pick up the orb and bring it back."
Su Wan thought for a while and nodded. He suppressed his worries about Gu Qingsong and asked Gu Huaizhi, "Are you okay here?"
"Don't worry, there's no problem." Gu Huaizhi pinched her face, which was so thin that there was no fleshiness at all: "Have you taken the medicine?"
"You don't need to take medicine starting today." Su Wan took Gu Huaizhi's arm and the two of them went back to the courtyard together: "Have you eaten? If not, can I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
"Have eaten." Gu Huaizhi returned to the courtyard and ordered Mo Yuan to personally take Gu Baozhu back to his home.
——
Gu's mother sat by the bed for a while, then stood up and dug out a pair of underwear from the bottom of the box. It was the last year of the family's reunion. She pulled a piece of fine cotton and sewed it stitch by stitch.
Gu Qingsong's clothes were changed into better ones for Gu Huaizhi to wear, or they were sold.
Someone took pity on her and paid some money to buy it, in exchange for the medicine that would hang on Gu Huaien's life.
She only had this piece of clothing, which she was reluctant to sell and kept by her side for thought.
Mother Gu's eyes were hot, and she continued to rummage and found Gu Qingsong's hunting bow and arrows, as well as a very old wooden hairpin. She found a piece of floral cloth, put all these things in, and opened the door. , hand it over to the secret guard guarding the door.
"If you know where Gu Qingsong lives, return this thing to him." Mother Gu's voice became hoarse, and after thinking for a while, she ordered: "You go and get the orb back."
Everyone has the right to know things about themselves.
She couldn't accept Gu Qingsong, but she also had no right to deprive Gu Baozhu of knowing the truth about her biological father's existence.
"The master has arranged for someone to pick up the third lady."
Mother Gu was stunned for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
The secret guard went to find Gu Qingsong with the things.
——
Gu Qingsong was very unfamiliar with the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Apart from the Gu family, he didn't know anyone, so he had to find an inn to stay.
The waiter brought two dishes and two jars of wine.
Gu Qingsong drank one glass after another.
Reviewing what Liu Guixiang said over and over again, it was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
He knew that his youngest son died in infancy, but he didn't know that it was that day.
"Knock knock——"
There was a knock on the door.
"Master, I am Qin Luo."
Gu Qingsong swallowed a sip of bitter wine and said, "Come in."
Qin Luo pushed the door open and came in. He was stunned when he saw Gu Qingsong looking lonely. He quickly reacted and told him what he had learned: "Liu Mao has come to Dazhou. His subordinates have not found out where he is hiding." , arranged for people to protect Gu Liu, Qin Yang also came to Dazhou, and he was kidnapped by Gu Liu. "
Gu Qingsong frowned, "What's the situation of the Gu family in Dazhou? When did the regent become his father?"
"When you left Xinghua Village, their mother and son's life was very difficult. They never gave up looking for you. Gu Huaizhi fell ill and was not in good health. He almost died when he took the provincial examination. Since then, he has not taken part in the imperial examination. He left his hometown to seek medical advice and was unexpectedly appreciated by the regent, who adopted him as his adopted son. "
Qin Luo explained all his subsequent experiences clearly, and mentioned Gu Huaizhi's current situation: "Emperor Jing was unconscious, the prince was imprisoned in the clan mansion, and the court was controlled by the regent's people. Some time ago, the Queen Mother After returning to the palace and fighting against the forces of the regent, he will have a lot of resistance if he wants to completely control the imperial power. "
Gu Qingsong looked solemn and said: "How to say?"
"Gu Huaizhi was in Jiangnan before, and he was on good terms with Cao Guangyi, the governor-general of Liangjiang. He was transferred to the capital to support the prince, and he was already planning to rescue the prince." Qin Luo's expression was complicated. Cao Guangyi's power should not be underestimated.
Gu Qingsong clenched the wine glass in his hand, wanting to help Gu Huaizhi, but he had no power in the Great Zhou, only an intelligence network.
With the power of the regent in the Great Zhou, they also had no shortage of intelligence networks.
"You keep an eye on Cao Guangyi. If Gu Huaizhi needs anything, you will do your best to help him at all costs."
"Yes."
Qin Luo left the inn.
Gu Qingsong couldn't drink any more wine. Whether Gu Huaizhi recognized him or not, he would find a way to meet him tomorrow.
——
The next day, at dawn, Gu Huaizhi got up and changed into a court dress.
Su Wan opened her eyes and stared at Gu Huaizhi's clothes sleepily, unable to react at all.
"Aren't you a juren? And you have an official robe? Are you going to the morning court?"
Su Wan got up from the bed and tidied up his official robe.
"My other identity is Tingyuan, and I have an official position in the court." Gu Huaizhi thought of the relationship between Cao Guangyi and the queen mother, frowned, and held her cold hand: "You sleep a little longer."
"Okay." Su Wan kissed him on the face, hugged the quilt and fell down, watching him leave the room.
After lying down for a while, she couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to the front hall.
Mother Gu was already waiting in the front hall, and her complexion was not very good.
"Mother, you didn't sleep all night?" Su Wan touched the blue shadow under her eyelids with her fingers.
Mother Gu hadn't spoken yet, but heard the sound of brisk footsteps. She looked up and saw Gu Baozhu running in quickly, calling out energetically: "Mother! Sister-in-law! I'm back!"
"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much!" Gu Baozhu ran towards Su Wan.
Su Wan opened her arms and hugged her, kissing her on the top of her head: "I miss you too."
Gu Baozhu giggled, let go of Su Wan, and dived into Gu's mother's arms again: "Mom, why did you only pick me up? Are you celebrating the return of my eldest brother and sister-in-law? My brother also wants to come back together!"
Gu's mother was silent for a while, and under Gu Baozhu's puzzled eyes, she slowly said: "Your father is back."
"Ah?" Gu Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Mom, do I have a father?"
