"Grandpa Guo's thank you?" Duchess Qi asked in surprise, she really didn't know about this, and when she took the title deed of the shop that Yudong presented, her face changed immediately.

"It was a thank you gift to thank our young lady for finding the jade finger of Grandpa Guo, and our young lady didn't dare to accept such a heavy gift." Yudong said respectfully.

There was silence for a while, and it took a long time to hear the smile of the Duke of Qi Guo: "Thank you young lady, you young lady don't accept these, but our thank you gift is indispensable." ”

After speaking, the Duchess of Qi Guo shook her hand to a mother-in-law behind her, the mother-in-law came over, she whispered a few words, the mother-in-law looked at the Duchess of Qi in surprise, and the Duchess of Qi Guo nodded.

The mother-in-law went out, and after a while, she came in with a gift box.

"This is our thank you gift to your young lady, and we can't stop accepting it this time." The Duchess of Qi said to Yudong with a smile, and called a maid ring to guide Yudong.

Yudong didn't refuse again this time, as long as it wasn't the title deed of these hot shops, he thanked the Duchess of Qi after receiving the gift, and left with the maid ring who led the way.

After Yudong left, the Duchess of Qi's face sank.

"Ma'am." The mother-in-law waiting on the side said cautiously.

"Let's go, go see Grandpa Guo." The Duchess of Qi stood up and walked out, holding these land deeds in her hands.

In the study, when Duke Qi heard that his wife was coming, he nodded and asked Xiao to invite Mrs. Qi Guo in.

The Duchess of Qi Guo entered the door alone, leaving all the mothers-in-law and maids outside the door, and after entering the door, she first saluted the Duke of Qi Guo, and then looked up at the positive color of the Duke of Qi's face: "Grandpa Guo, what does this mean?" ”

She took out the contract in her sleeve and put it on the bookcase in front of Qi Guogong.

"Where did it come from?" Seeing the things on it clearly, Qi Guogong frowned and said displeasedly.

"Doesn't Grandpa Guo know?" Duchess Qi Guo stared at Qi Guogong and said with a displeased face.

"This is a thank you for finding my jade wrench." Qi Guogong was silent for a moment and explained.

"How did I not know something so big? Grandpa Guo's jade wrench finger was given by the emperor, right, and he has always worn it on his hand, when did he not see it? Duchess Qi's gaze fell on the hand of Duke Qi Guo, and on the thumb of that hand, she was wearing the jade spotted finger.

"I lost it before, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't say it, so I found another one and put it on first." Qi Guogong leaned back and said a little impatiently.

The room was quiet, and the Duchess of Qi did not speak for a long time.

Qi Guogong opened his eyes, but what he faced was a reproachful expression on the face of the Duchess of Qi Guo.

"Grandpa Guo, I know that you must have something to hide from me, we have been husband and wife for so many years, although we can't say that we live and die together, but we have also experienced a lot of things to get to where we are today, at that time, if it weren't for your credit, we would not have survived, let alone this title."

Duchess Qi said.

These words evoked the memories of Qi Guogong, the look on his face was not so cold, but there was a trace of sadness in his dim eyes, at that time, the Qi Guogong Mansion was going to be prosperous, in addition to him, there was also a big brother, and the eldest brother was like a father, even if he learned martial arts, at the beginning, it was also taught by the eldest brother.

"Grandpa Guo, at that time...... The uncle listened to the words of the sister-in-law, and almost affected the entire Guogong Mansion...... At that time, we were a little closer, and I was frightened to give birth to a daughter, a premature child...... That sister-in-law was also pregnant with a child, and finally ......" Duchess Qi Guo had tears in the corners of her eyes, lowered her head, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

When I raised my eyes again, I saw that Qi Guogong's eyes were also red.

Those days were the most overwhelmed times, whether it was the Duke of Qi or the Duchess of Qi who had just given birth to a child, this was also the last thing that the Duchess of Qi was most reluctant to mention.

For so many years, the husband and wife have almost forgotten this past.

Now that she mentions it again, the Duchess of Qi only feels full of sourness, also because she was born prematurely, and her daughter has been in poor health since she was a child.

"You...... Don't talk about it......" Qi Guogong's voice darkened.

"No, Grandpa Guo, what I want to say, for so many years, we husband and wife are of the same heart, and everything is discussed, even when it is difficult, Grandpa Guo has everything close to me, every time I think about it, I am grateful to Grandpa Guo countless times, and I also thought about it at that time, even if I was implicated at that time, it doesn't matter if I died with Grandpa Guo, at least our family is together, close and close, and we can be a companion under the Yellow Spring......"

When the Duchess of Qi said this, she couldn't go on, tears fell, and she couldn't hold it down no matter how she reached out and took the handkerchief.

"Don't say it, I know...... It's me who is sorry for you! The corners of Qi Guogong's eyes were also wet, how could he be willing to think of that past again.

Only by pressing your hand on the corner of the table can you suppress the pain in your heart.

Originally, he thought that he could resist it, but he didn't think that he was actually just afraid, and he was actually a coward by ignoring it to express fear.

A coward who can't face himself.

"Grandpa Guo didn't feel sorry for me!" Duchess Qi shook her head.

"No, I'm sorry for you, even if you are under Jiuquan in the future, I ...... I'm sorry for you too. Qi Guogong's voice became more and more guilty, looking at the Duchess of Qi Guo, almost word by word.

It can be seen that what he said is not a lie.

Duchess Qi wiped away her tears with a handkerchief: "Grandpa Guo, I really haven't been sorry for me, since that incident, I have lived very well, for so many years, the only concubine in the house is still the aunt before, Grandpa Guo has not accepted any more concubines since then, even if it was sent by the emperor, you also pushed it on the pretext." ”

In fact, in the early days, there were still a lot of concubines around Qi Guogong, and at that time, Qi Guogong was still a gentleman who did not need to inherit the family business, and there were naturally many women around him.

But I didn't expect that after experiencing that incident, Qi Guogong seemed to be a different person.

Not only did he drive away all the concubines who had never given birth to children, but since then there have been no other girls around him, and he is also wholeheartedly good to the Duchess of Qiguo.

"Grandpa Guo, I won't talk about these past events, those things...... After so many years, we have all forgotten! Duchess Qi wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and raised her red eyes again, "What you did today, I don't understand what it means, why do you want to be so good to this fourth lady of Qufu, and even make a way to send her a shop?" Grandpa Guo don't talk about the jade wrench, I'...... I don't want to listen to these empty words. ”

Qi Guogong's head lowered, and he clenched his fist a little irritably, then released it again, and then clenched it again, and only said after a few times: "Don't ask the reason, wait for later...... Later, when I find the right one, I will definitely say it to you, and I won't let you be unable to figure it out all the time. ”

"Grandpa Guo has something to hide from me?" Duchess Qi said tentatively.

"It's one thing, one old thing." Qi is fair.

"Miss Qu's biological mother?" The Duchess of Qi said tentatively again, her eyes suspicious.

Qi Guogong was inexplicably annoyed, his hand slammed into a fist on the table, and the teacup on the table jumped a little, but fortunately there was not much tea in it.

"It's not what you think, that kid is one of our juniors, a very close junior...... It's me who didn't take good care of her...... They...... It's all good, it's me who is wrong. Qi Guogong lowered his head, his eyes were closed, and tears slipped down his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Duchess of Qi was startled, for so many years, she had never seen the Duke of Qi so sad, even if the uncle's family was executed back then, after knowing the news, the Duchess of Qi just went to the study alone, how sad, the Duchess of Qi had never seen it.

At the moment, Qi Guogong lost his temper so much that he actually cried in front of her.

What does this Miss Qu Si have to do with Grandpa Guo, and looking at it like this, the most important thing is Miss Qu Si's biological mother, that Xiao Yue.

In fact, when she saw that Xiao Yue's family was also very close to her, she would invite her to sit down from time to time, and she was quite close to Qufu, but then Xiao Yue's family died of dystocia, and the two mansions had no contact.

Is there anything else you don't know?

"This is a thank you gift from the Duchess of Qi?" Qu Moying looked at the small and delicate rockery on the table and asked, this is a rockery decorated with agate, if the value is of course a few shops are valuable, but if you talk about rarity, this agate rockery is even rarer.

"Duchess Qi Guo, please Miss must accept this thank you gift." Yu Dong was also taken aback, he didn't expect the Duchess of Qi's return gift to be so precious, "Miss, what should I do now, will the slave and maid still take a trip?" ”

Qu Moying shook his hand: "No need!" ”

Since the Duchess of Qi Guo gave such a gift, and it is indeed a gift, not as nondescript as the shop, she can't say anything about refusal, and she will repay another gift when she looks for a loan in the future.

"Miss, the slave maid also heard that this is what the Duchess of Qi originally planned to give to Jingyu County." Rainy Winter Road.

The girl who sent her out was a talker, and she was chattering with Yudong all the way, which made Yudong hear some unexpected news.

"For Jingyu County-kun?" Qu Moying's eyes fell on the agate rockery, Liu Jingyu became the future crown princess, as the grandmother of the Duchess of Qi to give a generous gift, naturally it should be, such a generous gift is also worthy of Liu Jingyu, but now he has let himself cut off his beard.

The corners of his lips hooked silently, Liu Jingyu must know about this.

The matter of Qingmei before, Qu Moying has already let people check, this Qingmei actually came out of the Qi State Mansion, and the most hostile person in the Qi State Mansion is really no one else except this Jingyu County Jun.

She knows, in fact, it is also good......

"Miss, Third Miss, please come over!" A mother-in-law was outside the house, reporting inside.

Qu Moying raised her eyes slightly, it just so happened that she also had something to find Qu Qiuyan......
