Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 142 etc.

Three shifts have passed.

Before leaving, Xue Lan said that she would come to the backyard of the tea shop to look for Gu Qingyou as soon as she left the palace, but sixteen hours had passed since she entered the palace, but the back door of the tea shop had never sounded.

Gu Qingyou's state of mind at this time was even more panicked than when she traveled over on the first day.

My mother entered the palace alone, and in case of any accident, she didn't even have a helper.

But she quickly denied this point. After all, their identities are different. In order to avoid suspicion, the emperor will not let the dignified Duke and his wife have accidents in the palace, and the mother's personal safety can still be guaranteed.

So what could delay it for so long?

Shuang Jiang picked out the wick over and over again, seeing her fidgeting, advised: "Miss, don't worry, maybe Madam has already returned to the house safely, she didn't come here because she was afraid of disturbing your rest, you should sleep for a while , When it is dawn, I will accompany you to the Duke's Mansion."

After the reconciliation, Gu Qingyou regained her freedom, Xue Lan specially ordered Shuang Jiang and a few other little girls to go out of the house with her.

Because the original owner didn't have sex with Song Chengye, she changed her bun back to her boudoir style, and Shuang Jiang called her Miss.

"No, if mother leaves the palace, no matter how late it is, she will definitely come to me first."

Gu Qingyou looked at the yard anxiously. The ancient nights were not like the camouflage and rainbows of modern times. In addition, it was raining heavily, except for a few inches outside the door, which could be illuminated by candlelight, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a deep darkness. In the black hole, just like her current mood.

Fearing that the sound of the wheels would be covered by the sound of rain, she didn't even dare to close the door, so she just sat at the door and guarded, letting the night rain wet the hem of her clothes and embroidered shoes.

Seeing this, Shuang Jiang grabbed the umbrella on the table and opened it to cover her feet, and then took the cloak and put it on for her.

Wiping the fabric with both hands, the cotton padded coat that was stained with water vapor was already icy cold, pressing heavily on Gu Qingyou's shoulders.

She couldn't help but said distressedly: "If you wait like this, the madam hasn't come yet. I'm afraid you fell ill first. If the miss is really worried, the servant will go to the gate of the palace to guard now. When she sees the madam, she will be the first Time to report back."

In fact, she didn't understand why Gu Qingyou was so sure that his wife would come here as soon as she left the palace.

I'm afraid that it will be late when Madam leaves the palace, and I feel inconvenient to disturb and go back to the Duke's mansion. Isn't that young lady waiting in vain?

Gu Qingyou shook her head lightly: "You don't understand, she will definitely come."

Shuang Jiang didn't speak any more, seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, he moved a pony and sat beside her, and together they quietly stared at the rain curtain outside the door.

"Woo~woo~"

In front of the carbon basin in the room, a certain round little guy was awakened by the cold wind blowing in from the door, got up and turned around a few times in dissatisfaction, and saw Gu Qingyou sitting at the door, half asleep and half awake walking towards her Come over, habitually snuggle and lie down at her feet.

Unexpectedly, the ground under her feet was covered with rainwater, the dog jumped away in a jerk after lying down, raised its head and barked at her.

Normally, Gu Qingyou would have picked it up and played with it a long time ago, but right now he was really not in the mood, so he raised his foot and pushed it into the room: "Don't make trouble."

Shuang Jiang quickly picked it up and put it back into the house, and said in a low voice: "Stop barking, you should sleep well, and I will give you stewed meat bones tomorrow."

Gouzi moved his ears, and suddenly broke free from her embrace, and ran back to Qingyou's feet again, this time directly biting the hem of her clothes, jumping left and right and pulling back and forth.

Reluctantly picking it up, Gu Qingyou rubbed its dog's head: "What's the matter, Yuanzi, don't tell me you're hungry again?"

The dog whined a few times, its big eyes were fixed on the outside, and its tail was wagging quickly. Shuang Jiang was a little frightened. Everyone said that the dog's eyes could be psychic. It kept staring outside. Could it be that there was something dirty in the yard?
Although this courtyard is on the busiest street in Shangjing, it is only limited to daytime, because it is surrounded by shops. Once the shops are closed, except for the occasional shopkeeper and the guys who go home, the whole street will be empty.

Moreover, Gu Qingyou has now nominally severed ties with the Duke's Mansion. In order not to arouse suspicion, when she came out, she rejected Xue Lan's proposal to bring the mansion soldiers, and only selected a few clever servants to serve her.

There are two entrances to the courtyard, she, Shuangjiang and a few girls live in the inner courtyard, while the boys are in charge of security and porter work in the outer courtyard.

Seeing Xiaoyuanzi staring at a certain place in the darkness, a layer of rice grains formed on Gu Qingyou's body. He wanted to find out, but he was afraid that he would really see something scary, so he rubbed his arms and said, "Don't you?" To scare us, if we are hungry, there will be snacks on the table."

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind suddenly rushed into the room with rainwater, blowing out the burning candles, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

The dog's barking became more and more urgent, and his body struggled to move out. Gu Qingyou was caught by it without paying attention.

After Gouzi landed, he rushed into the rain without hesitation and disappeared.

Shuang Jiang was frightened, the room was pitch black, and he wanted to light the candle, but he couldn't find the fire pocket after fumbling for a long time.

With a flash of lightning, she stood in front of Gu Qingyou tremblingly and said, "Miss, should we go in and close the door?"

"Little Yuanzi!"

Gu Qingyou didn't dare to chase out rashly, and shouted a few times, but the dog didn't respond, and he couldn't see his fingers in the yard, even if he wanted to look for it, he didn't know where to look.

There are only a few women here, for safety's sake, although Gu Qingyou was worried, he hurried back to the house with Shuangjiang and closed the door.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the courtyard had been unoccupied for a long time. When we moved here in the afternoon, there were some leaks on the roof. Gu Qingyou didn't have the heart to find someone to repair it, so he temporarily found a few pieces that were removed from the old carriage. The iron sheet covers it.

At this moment the rain was raging, and the iron sheets were clanging on the roof, making people flustered.

The two held hands tightly, and did not dare to change their wet clothes. They stood in the dark and held their breath, for fear that something would break into the door.

However, the more he was afraid of something, the more something would come. After a thunderstorm, the room was suddenly illuminated by lightning, and with a bang, the door was pushed open vigorously.

His eyes hadn't adapted to the darkness yet, so Gu Qingyou could only look directly at the door, and then there was the sound of boots kicking against the rain, accompanied by an anxious male voice: "Young Madam, Miss Shuang'er, are you there?! "

"Budu?? Is that you?"

The hanging heart suddenly fell down, Shuang Jiang finally touched the fire pocket, lit the lamp, and a man who looked like a soaked chicken stood at the door.

Bu Dian touched the rain on his face, and obviously heaved a sigh of relief: "So you are all here, and no one responded after shouting for a long time, so I thought something unexpected happened."

"Why did you come here suddenly? But mother is out of the palace?"

Gu Qingyou looked out while asking, but he couldn't see anyone else, so he stared at Bu Du closely and said, "Where's mother?"
