Qin Niang led Bu Shuyuan into the Gu Mansion, although the Gu Mansion where Gu Chen lived was also very large, but compared with this century-old mansion, after all, it still lacked a bit of flavor.

Although Bu Shuyuan knew that the Gu family had a deep heritage before coming to the capital, and that the previous three generations had been high-ranking officials, and they must be high-ranking families, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still deeply shocked in her heart.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart, if her grandfather was not so ruthless, then she is also a celebrity lady in the capital today, even if her father's status is lower, but there is a grandfather with a transcendent status, her identity can always be raised.

Thinking of this, her heart became more and more unbalanced.

She was half a step behind Qin Niang, quietly looking at Qin Niang's back, the handkerchief hidden in her sleeve couldn't help but be twisted into a ball by her, looking at Qin Niang's words and deeds were full of a breath of the nobility of the family, her heart couldn't help but burst with jealousy.

Pingping is the child of an official family, this world is so unfair!

"Second young lady, the old lady heard that you were coming back, and she was already waiting in the study." The maid who led them to the outside of the study, pushed the door open for them, and made a "please" gesture.

Qin Niang nodded and walked in first.

Before she decided to take Bu Shuyuan back, she had already sent someone to the old mansion to report that Old Man Gu should be in the academy at this time on weekdays, but after receiving the news from Qin Niang, he immediately rushed back from the academy.

Because it was a private matter of the Gu family, and before Old Man Gu nodded, Qin Niang didn't dare to tell Bu Shuyuan's identity to others casually, so she could only let someone inform Old Man Gu that the Gu family had distant relatives coming, and she couldn't decide, so she asked Old Man Gu to come back and take a look in person.

Old Man Gu knew that the matter was not small as soon as he heard it, and he didn't dare to delay, so after receiving the message from the people in the house, he immediately rushed back.

At this moment, Old Man Gu had just had lunch, and the next person made him a pot of tea, so he sat on the edge of the desk in the study, reading the students' homework while waiting for Qin Niang to come over.

"I've seen my grandfather." Qin Niang walked to the table and bowed to Old Man Gu.

Old Man Gu raised his smiling face and asked kindly, "No need to be polite, you hurriedly sent someone to call me back today, is there something wrong?" ”

Qin Niang smiled brightly, leaned sideways, and revealed the figure of Bu Shuyuan, who had been shrinking behind her, and said in a shallow voice: "Grandfather, this is Bu Shuyuan, she took Gu Chen's jade pendant to Gu's house in the morning, and said that it was Gu Chen's cousin, your own granddaughter, Sun Xi couldn't be sure, so he had to lead the person to his grandfather and let you recognize it in person." ”

As she spoke, she handed over the jade pendant that Bu Shuyuan had given her before.

Old Man Gu took the jade pendant, and the old eyes suddenly burst out with a fierce light, and he looked at the girl who was standing a few steps away.

The girl's clothes were obviously retouched, but since she walked into this study, she has been hanging her head, looking very timid, feeling the gaze of Old Man Gu directly on her, and the girl's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Your surname is Bu?" Old Man Gu asked in a deep voice.

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, grandfather, my name is Bu Shuyuan, the lady of the lady." ”

Although she doesn't look like a lady at all, it doesn't prevent her mother from expecting such an expectation from her.

"Don't be busy calling me grandfather, tell me first, who are your parents' names, where you came from, and how you came to the capital." Old Man Gu is not the kind of person who can climb relationships at will, and before he fully confirms that the person in front of him is the bloodline of his Gu family, he doesn't want people to take advantage of it.

Bu Shuyuan immediately accumulated two tears in her eyes when she heard this, she raised her face, looked at the old man for a while, and then reached out to untie the jade pendant hanging around her neck, held it in the palm of her hand, stretched it forward, and said: "This is the pendant that my mother wears, I heard that you carved it for her back then." ”

Seeing this, Qin Niang immediately stepped forward and took the jade pendant, then walked up to Old Man Gu and handed it to him.

Old man Gu's eyes shrank, grabbed the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, this was indeed carved by his own hands back then, the shape was a lazy kitten, he got a good piece of jade back then, so he divided it into four parts, he carved a pendant for one of his three sons and one daughter under his knees, and even the rope of the pendant was woven by himself.

In this world, the things he carved with his own hands are all unique, and no one can imitate them.

So, this jade pendant is real.

Old Man Gu's gaze shot at the girl standing a few steps away from him again, between her eyebrows and eyes, there was indeed a bit of the outline of their Gu family, except for those eyes.

Those eyes were the eyes of the businessman surnamed Bu back then.

"Grandfather, I am really Gu Ping's daughter, this jade pendant was also handed over to me by my mother before she died, I dare not lie, you can send someone to the south to check, these years, our family of five has been living in the south, originally I had two younger sisters, but the South Vietnamese army broke through the city and slaughtered them on a large scale, they were too young to hold their breath, they were found to be hiding, and if they did not protect the Ming Festival, they died."

As she spoke, her tears fell like beads with broken threads.

In the morning, when she faced Qin Niang's inquiry in the Gu Mansion, she could still stabilize her emotions, but at this moment, she was facing her own maternal ancestor, everyone in the family died, and she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, how could she bear it?

"Grandfather, I know that my mother should not have followed my father insistedly back then, if she stayed in the house honestly, waiting for her parents to give her a good family, she would not have betrayed her relatives for so many years, left her hometown, and finally died in another country, and she couldn't even find her bones, but, for so many years, she has regretted it, and now that she is dead, she will only have one daughter left, please grandfather's mercy, just take me in."

As she spoke, she knelt down with a puff, her head slammed down, and then she fell to the ground, not intending to get up for a long time.

A teenage girl, who had just witnessed the death of her loved one, fled all the way back to the capital from the border, which can be said to be all kinds of sourness along the way, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but be moved.

Qin Niang is also a woman, she can imagine how dangerous it is for a woman to go on the road alone, if Bu Shuyuan doesn't have some fists and feet, she is afraid that she will not be able to arrive in the capital safely.

If she is really Gu Chen's cousin and what she says is true, she is indeed very sympathetic to her.

It's just that a cousin who has never heard of it ran back to join her relatives at this time, and she always felt that it was a bit too coincidental, so that she really couldn't sympathize with the girl in front of her.

After experiencing all the things in her previous life, Qin Niang found that she would no longer be as easily compassionate as before, and she would no longer be easily soft-hearted.

"Alright, get up." Old Man Gu took a deep look at the kneeling person on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Let someone take you down to settle down for a while, and you will live in the mansion for the time being, but I will never disclose your identity to the public, you must understand that your mother lost the face of the Gu family back then, and she died more than ten years ago." ”

How can a person who has been dead for eighteen years have blood in the world?

Regardless of whether this Bu Shuyuan's identity is true or not, the Gu family can't recognize her, she can only live in the Gu family as a distant relative, otherwise, once the things of the year are dug up, the Gu family will become a joke again.

Although the things of that year had been suppressed by him with thunderous means, and the servants who knew about it back then were also sent away, how could there be a wall in the world that was breathable?

Although the Gu family is not in the court now, it still has an extraordinary status in Beijing, and if people with a heart want to check, they can still find it.

The mother-in-law who was guarding the door heard Old Man Gu's call and immediately walked in.

"This is the daughter of a distant relative of the Gu family, now she has no relatives and no reason, she has come thousands of miles to join the Gu family, you take people down to settle down, and then send a few people over to serve her, don't be careless." Old Man Gu explained.

"Yes, old lady." The mother-in-law answered, led Bu Shuyuan and retreated.

Qin Niang knew that Old Man Gu still had something to say to her, so after Bu Shuyuan was taken down, she did not say goodbye immediately, but stood there for a while.

Old Man Gu kept rubbing the jade pendant with his fingertips, and his eyes changed several times, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Niang thought that the Gu family liked her daughter so much, and the woman named Gu Ping should have been quite favored back then, so Old Man Gu would carve a jade pendant for her with his own hands, and even the rope of the pendant seemed to be woven by him.

Because, she heard Gu Chen say that Old Man Gu's method of braiding rope is a little different from others, he uses a combination of tying and braiding, which is more complicated, but it is very durable, and it is said that it will not be scattered for ten years.

Now looking at the rope that has long been colored, I know that what Gu Chen said is true.

It's just that he was so pampered back then, and how disappointed he was when he found out that his daughter had done such a reluctant thing, so he would deal with it mercilessly, and in the past ten years, he has never heard anyone mention that the Gu family once had a daughter.

Presumably, he didn't even want to mention this person's name, so he gave a death order and didn't let people mention it.

Thinking of this, Qin Niang couldn't help sighing, and she didn't know how he felt when he knew that Gu Chen and her were in a hurry to talk about marriage when they first had the reality of husband and wife.

Retracting her thoughts, Qin Niang broke the silence and asked, "Grandfather, what doubts do you have?"

If he didn't have doubts, why was he so entangled?

"You can also see it, so do you think, this Bu Shuyuan, suspicious?" Old Man Gu didn't go around the bend, and asked directly.
