"I'll take you to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Your grandmother." Gu Changfeng paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, this grandmother may only be in name. ”

"Nominally?"

"You'll know when you see it." Gu Changfeng clenched Yan Suwen's hand: "There are too many secrets hidden in that palace city, some secrets can be seen, and some cannot. As smart as you are, you know what I'm referring to. ”

Yan Su lowered his eyes, looked at the hands of the two of them overlapping in one place, and did not say a word.

The carriage was moving very slowly, as if she was deliberately giving Yan Su time to adapt and think, and just when she was about to fall asleep, Gu Yunfei's voice came from outside the car.

"Master, madam, the Li Mansion has arrived."

"Arrived?" Yan Suwen had a hint of sleepiness in his eyes.

"It's here!" Gu Changfeng stroked her forehead and said softly, "If you are sleepy, let's come back another day." ”

"It's fine." got up and took a few deep breaths, Yan Suwen's gaze immediately became clear: "I found that I am not suitable for riding in this kind of high-standard carriage, because it is too comfortable, and it is easy to get sleepy if I am not careful." ”

"Isn't it because of me?"

"Oh?"

"Isn't it because it's too comfortable to lie in my arms?"

Not...... How can this man say such ambiguous words anytime and anywhere, which is not at all consistent with his original personality.

Avoiding Gu Changfeng's gaze and deliberately ignoring his questioning, Yan Suwen lifted the curtain and jumped off the car.

Fortunately, what she saw was not a big house, but a small courtyard.

"My mother's surname is Du, why is it written by my rented house that is Li Mansion?"

"Because your grandmother's surname is Li, this is your grandmother's own yard." Gu Changfeng stared at the Li character: "Your grandmother is probably the first woman in Yecheng to divorce from her husband's family." ”

"Merge?" Yan Su asked, "Look at this, it's more like Hugh." ”

"Almost." Gu Changfeng replied while motioning for Gu Yunfei to shoot the door of the Li family. After a while, the door opened, revealing the face of a little girl who looked a little confused. Seeing Gu Yunfei standing at the door, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Li Lanzhi lives here?"

"Li Lanzhi? We don't have this person in our family. The little girl dozed off as she spoke, and was about to close the door.

"Xiao Ning, who is outside the door?" Another voice came from behind the door.

"It's a man, who came to find Li Lanzhi, but what is called Li Lanzhi in our family." The little girl pouted as she spoke.

"Li Lanzhi?" The voice came to the door, "It's been a long time since anyone mentioned this name. ”

"Little girl, tell your old lady that Yan Suwen, the daughter of Du Ruo of Yanjiazhuang, has come to visit her grandmother." Knowing that the person he was looking for was standing behind the door, Gu Yunfei still deliberately talked to the confused little girl first.

"Ruoruo's daughter?" The door of the Li family was pulled open from the inside, "What you said is true?" ”

"Old Madam Li!" Gu Yunfei took a step back and bowed.

Old Madam Li's gaze crossed Gu Yunfei and fell to Yan Suwen, who was standing beside Gu Changfeng, and with just one glance, a loving smile appeared on her face: "It's Ruoruo's daughter, no need to ask, I know that she must be Ruoruo's daughter." ”

"Grandmother!" Yan Su asked and stepped forward and called obediently.

"You came to me to inquire about your mother Du Ruo, right?" In the front hall of the Li family, Mrs. Li put down the teacup she was holding in her hand, looked at Yan Su and asked slowly.

"Su Wen just came to visit my grandmother."

"Silly boy, in front of my grandmother, you don't have to say these false, polite, coping words. Tell your grandmother, are you okay? ”

"Okay, everything is fine with my mother, but it is inconvenient for her to enter Beijing, and she can't go to her grandmother to fulfill her filial piety."

"If you're a good boy." Old Madam Li glanced at the corner of the front hall: "I know her difficulties, and I also know her filial piety." Over the years, although she has been in Yanjiazhuang, she has never forgotten my mother for a day. During the holidays, there are always letters, and in those letters, there are always silver tickets. ”

"That's what a mother should do." In my memory, my mother-in-law Du Ruo did ask Uncle Yan to bring some things to Yecheng every once in a while, but now I know that those things were sent to Mrs. Li.

"There is nothing in this world that should or should not be. When I was young, I was not kind to your mother, Du Ruo. Old Madam Li lowered her hand and smiled, but the smile was a little reluctant. Your mother was brought back from outside by Du Zhiheng. ”

"Outside?" Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng glanced at each other: "What my grandmother means is that my mother was born to my grandfather and a woman outside. ”

"When he first brought your mother back, your mother was still a little doll who only knew how to cry in her infancy, but I liked her at first sight. She's probably the best-looking little doll I've ever seen. Old Madam Li narrowed her eyes, with a warm light in her eyes: "I, because of physical reasons, I can't be a mother anymore in this life." Du Zhiheng is a doctor, and he is still a doctor with some reputations, but even he can't cure my stubborn disease. When he brought your mother back, he said that he had bought the child. said that your mother's biological father and mother disliked her because she was a girl, and there was no way to pass on the family lineage, so she was sold shortly after birth. I used to like your mother, but when I heard this, I felt more and more distressed, and secretly swore in my heart that I would treat her as my own daughter. ”

"But grandmother, why do you and your grandfather ......?"

"That's because I found out he lied to me." Mrs. Li's eyes changed, and there was some indescribable pain in her eyes: "I thought that I had a deep relationship with him. I thought he wouldn't mind if I couldn't have children. But later, I found out that he often met a woman behind my back, and that woman was most likely Ruoruo's biological mother. ”

"Even if it's my mother's biological mother, it doesn't mean that my grandmother must have a relationship with her."

In the previous life, Yan Suwen had heard a lot of similar things. Some families give birth to children, because they dislike that it is a girl, or because the family is difficult and unable to raise it, so they give the child away, but after a period of time, they will feel remorse and want to get the child back. When a child is conceived in October and given birth in one day, it is usually not the father who is only related by blood, but their mother.

"If I didn't have full proof, would I say that about him?" Old Madam Li's hand clasped: "I have secretly followed him a few times, and every time, they will make an appointment to meet at a different inn." Every time they met, they would hug and cry, and he always comforted her softly. I have never seen such gentleness, such thoughtfulness, and such carefulness. I heard them talk about Ruoruo, and I heard him say to her that he would take good care of this daughter and would not fail her to live up to her heart for him. Even if they can't stay together in this life, in the next life, he will definitely protect her and take care of her. ”

Old Madam Li snorted coldly, followed by a few sneers.

"They are so affectionate, so affectionate, what am I? A woman's heart is the softest and the most easily injured, but after being injured, this heart will become hard and cold. I went home and asked him for a separation, but at first he didn't agree. But when I told me what was going on in the inn, he agreed, and his attitude became very tough. Such a cold and ruthless face is something I have never seen before. ”

"After that, grandmother, did you leave the Du family?"

"My daughter of the Li family still has a bit of backbone in the end." Old Madam Li's hand let go: "Originally, I was also a little reluctant. No matter how Du Zhiheng deceived me, and no matter what relationship Ruoruo's biological mother had with Du Zhiheng, she was always the child I raised single-handedly, and she also called me my mother since she learned to speak. But Du Zhiheng didn't allow me to take her away, nor did I allow me to see her again, and after another two years, I heard that Du Zhiheng found a relationship and sent Ruoruo to the palace. ”

"So, you don't know about my mother's situation in the palace, grandmother."

"The things in the inner garden of the deep palace are not something that we ordinary people can spy on. However, when your mother first entered the palace, she often came to see me, but seeing that she and Du Zhiheng did not have any similar eyebrows, I always felt a little uncomfortable, and my attitude towards her became worse and worse. At the beginning, I wondered if Ruoruo's biological mother deceived Du Zhiheng, but when I knew that he died, I knew that if it wasn't for his daughter, he knew it in his heart, but he was willing to admit this child who was not his own for another woman, and was even willing to give up his original wife for that woman, leaving himself alone. After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Yan Suwen, and said in a very slow tone: "Your mother, Du Ruo, is very likely to have been born in the palace. Her biological mother, although I have seen her, I don't know who she is, but just because she can enter and leave the palace freely, I know that she must have some status in the palace, and she may also be a palace maid with some status. As for Ruoruo's biological father, your real grandfather, I don't dare to guess, and I hope you don't guess. ”

Coming out of the Li Mansion, Yan Suwen was in a trance, and it wasn't until she got into the carriage that she held Gu Changfeng's hand and asked urgently, "Do you understand what your grandmother said?"

"Hmm!"

"My mother, she ......"

"It's most likely a princess, but it's a princess who can't be known to outsiders." Gu Changfeng looked at Yan Suwen's eyes: "Your father and mother can't enter Beijing, maybe it's not because of your father, but because of your mother." ”

"Am I going to tell my mother?"

"No need." Gu Changfeng pressed Yan Suwen's hand and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to be a princess or a county lord?" ”

Yan Su didn't want to think about it, so he shook his head: "Just the hat of a prime minister's wife, I feel panicked, and the princess is still the princess?" When I think about it, I feel a cold sweat on my body. Such supreme glory is not uncommon to me. ”

"That's really embarrassing for Madame." Gu Changfeng hugged him into his arms without a trace, "Mother-in-law estimates that she has the same mind as you. Think about it, can a daughter of an ordinary family easily enter the palace? A girl who grew up in the palace can ignore the rules and walk sideways in the Tai Hospital, do you really think that can be done casually? ”

Yan Suwen blinked his eyes, and suddenly understood what the Queen Mother said. Her mother's life experience is only more complicated than what Mrs. Li speculated.
