Chapter 178: The Xiao Family
"What are you asking for?"
Gu Xuan frowned and looked at Shen Qiao puzzled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What? Can't you say? ”
Shen Qiao wondered, when he said Mrs. Shen, he could say it well, why couldn't he ask her maiden family?
Gu Xuan stared at Shen Qiao and didn't speak.
He was thinking, why did Shen Qiao suddenly remember to ask Mrs. Shen's mother's family?
Could it be that Mrs. Li said something to her?
But no, Mrs. Li doesn't know some things, even Aunt Liang doesn't know.
So why did she ask?
Is it just curiosity?
Out of curiosity, why didn't she ask when she knew that she was similar to Mrs. Shen?
Shen Qiao also looked at Gu Xuan, waiting for him to speak.
"Mrs. Shen's surname is Xiao, and she is from the Xiao family of Jiangmen."
In the end, Gu Xuan still spoke.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask Mrs. Shen if she has any brothers and sisters?"
Shen Qiao said.
Gu Xuan was stunned.
He understood, Shen Qiao should still be doubting that she had something to do with Mrs. Shen, since Mrs. Shen was beheaded while holding her daughter who was born not long ago, then she thought of Mrs. Shen's brothers and sisters.
That's right, after all, there are very few similar people, and most of them are blood relatives.
Gu Xuan secretly scolded himself for being suspicious, and his mood improved.
smiled: "How can there be no brothers and sisters." However, Jojo, the thoughts in your heart are definitely going to come to naught. ”
"How?"
Shen Qiao couldn't understand why Gu Xuan's attitude changed all of a sudden.
"At that time, General Xiao had two sons and a daughter, all of whom were older than Mrs. Shen. Later, because of the Shen family's affairs, Mrs. Xiao saw her daughter and granddaughter beheaded with her own eyes, she couldn't stand the stimulation, fell seriously ill, couldn't survive, and died. After the death of his daughter and wife one after another, General Xiao handed over the talisman and retired. The eldest son and youngest son of the Xiao family also left the capital with General Xiao. ”
Gu Xuan paused for a moment, and then said: "After more than ten years, everyone knows the traces of their father and son, and no one knows whether they are still alive. ”
"Didn't Mrs. Shen's two elder brothers become biological sons?"
Shen Qiao said.
She vaguely felt that the man in the dream was Mrs. Shen's brother, but she didn't know if it was the eldest brother or the second brother.
Among them, the eldest of the Xiao family was married, and when their family left, his wife had not yet given birth to children, and before leaving with General Xiao, the eldest of the Xiao family left with her wife. The second child of the Xiao family has not yet married. ”
Gu Xuan looked at Shen Qiao and said.
"And left?"
Shen Qiao was surprised.
They followed their father into seclusion, why did they choose to leave?
From this point of view, the retreat of Old General Xiao should not be so simple, and I am afraid that the Shen family's full door is not so simple!
"Yes, and left. After Mrs. Xiao left, she did not return to her parents' house, but went to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. It's been more than ten years, and that lady is still in that nunnery, if Qiao Qiao doesn't believe it, and goes to the capital, you can ask. ”
Gu Xuan said.
Shen Qiao glanced at Gu Xuan, and when she heard the unhappiness in Gu Xuan's tone, she didn't think much about it, and said, "I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else." ”
The atmosphere cooled down for a while.
"The slave has seen Gu Shizi, girl."
At this time, Huanhuan came in to break the cold scene.
"Is there something wrong?"
Shen Qiao asked.
Huanhuan has always followed Princess Qi, and when she came over, it was estimated that Princess Qi was looking for her.
"Girl, the maid knows that the girl has woken up and eaten, so she asks the slave to come and ask the girl to come and talk for a while."
Huanhuan said.
"Oh, good. You go first, I'll clean up for a while and I'll go." ”
Shen Qiao nodded and said.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Huanhuan saluted and withdrew.
"Qiaoqiao, there are some things I can't tell you for the time being, when I get to the capital, I'll talk to you slowly when I have the opportunity, okay?"
After Huanhuan left, Gu Xuan hesitated for a while and said.
"Okay." Shen Qiao nodded, and then said, "Gu Xuan, in fact, you don't need to tell me everything, follow your heart, tell me if you want to tell me, and don't force yourself if you don't want to tell me." ”
"I'm not unwilling, I'm ......"
"Alright, I'm going to change my clothes."
Gu Xuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Qiao.
"Okay. Then I'll wait for you outside. ”
Gu Xuan's lips moved, and finally he didn't continue, stood up, and said.
Shen Qiao nodded.
After Gu Xuan went out, Shen Qiao found a clean dress to put on, then combed his hair and went out.
Gu Xuan was waiting for her outside.
The two walked side by side towards Princess Qi's room.
It's just that there is no word all the way.
Princess Qi didn't change her house far, she was still in the same courtyard.
The two arrived at Princess Qi's house, where Princess Qi was still lying on the bed, looking a little weak, and when she saw the two coming, she asked Mama Xu, who was waiting on the side, to help her up.
"Mother-in-law, if you don't feel well, just go to sleep, you don't have to get up."
Shen Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to hold her up.
"Out of the way, out of the way."
Princess Qi held Shen Qiao's hand, and when Mama Xu saw this, she also stepped aside and took a cushion and put it behind Princess Qi.
"Ah Xuan is here too? Is everything out there over? ”
After sitting firmly, Princess Qi looked at Gu Xuan and asked with a smile.
"It's over. That Zheng Dong had already pleaded guilty and committed suicide in fear of sin. ”
Gu Xuan replied.
"Well, it's good that this matter is settled. My body is useless, but it drags down everyone's schedule. ”
Princess Qi sighed and said.
"Whatever Aunt Liang said, I have been on the road for more than half a month, so it's good to rest for a day or two."
Gu Xuan answered.
"Well, I don't want to stay here for a moment. However, Caiyue said that I still have to raise it for a day or two before I can get on the road. You said, now that Zheng Dong is in the law, should we go to live outside? ”
Princess Qi asked.
Gu Xuan didn't answer, and glanced at Shen Qiao, obviously wanting to hear Shen Qiao's idea.
But this time, Shen Qiao didn't answer when Gu Xuan looked at him as before, but took Princess Qi's hand and sat quietly, as if this matter was none of her business.
Seeing this, Princess Qi was stunned.
Are these two kids at odds?
"Let's just live here, back and forth, I'm worried that Aunt Liang, your body can't stand it."
Seeing that Shen Qiao ignored him, Gu Xuan sighed in his heart, and then replied.
"Well, if that's the case, then stay here. But, Jojo, you have to come to my room and stay with me at night, okay? ”
Princess Qi nodded, then held Shen Qiao's hand and asked.
Shen Qiao raised his head, looked at Princess Qi, and said, "Okay, I'll let Xiaoxiao find Mrs. Li to make a soft collapse in a while, and I'll sleep next to my stepmother's bed." ”
"Good, good. It's different to have a girl, and at night, we can talk for a while. ”
Princess Qi said happily.
