famous eldest daughter

Chapter 76
The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating Gu Yuqing's delicate little face in alternating light and dark.

Yes, how come!
During countless sleepless nights, she wetted her pillow with tears, curled up in a corner of the bed, covered with quilts, and asked herself over and over again how could this happen!
How could such a kind person like a mother die suddenly overnight with a two-month-old fetus in her belly?

It can be seen that God is not fair.

Looking up again, Mother Gu looked at Gu Yuqing with eyes filled with great distress, "The eldest lady is only eight years old..." When Mother Gu thought about the suffering that Gu Yuqing may have suffered due to the loss of her mother over the years, Mother Gu felt a twinge in her heart. "Then...has Mr. Hou renewed his string?"

It has been said since ancient times that the stepmother's heart is the most vicious.

Although Gu Yuqing was a legitimate child, an eight-year-old child was not at the mercy of his stepmother.

Mother Jiang's concern made Gu Yuqing's eyes heat up. She shook her head and said with a smile, "Father did not marry another man."

Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and at the same time sighed in her heart that the Marquis was really deeply in love with his wife.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it." Mother Jiang muttered, suddenly remembering something, patting her leg, and asked: "What about the young master? Madam is not here, who will discipline the young master? Miss this time Come out, why didn't you bring the young master with you?"

Gu Yuqing was stunned for a moment.

Young Master?Where did the young master come from?

Her father had no concubines, and the Chinanhou Mansion only had two children, her and Gu Yuhe.

Mother Jiang must have remembered it wrong.

Seeing Gu Yuqing's slightly sluggish expression, Mother Jiang's face suddenly became solemn and she said anxiously: "Is the young master okay? Is he sick or something?"

Hearing her confident words about a young master, doubts flashed through Gu Yuqing's mind, and she asked tentatively: "Is the young master Jiang's mother is talking about my brother?"

Gu Yuqing asked, and Gu's mother's heart, which had just relaxed a little, started to tighten again, "Of course I am talking about the eldest daughter's biological brother, who is a sibling of the same mother. Could it be that the Marquis has taken concubines and given birth to a bastard in the past few years?"

Just now, she had lamented that the Marquis was deeply in love with his wife. At this moment, Jiang’s mother was worried about the consequences, thinking, could it be because of the concubine that the Marquis did not renew their relationship?Is it to straighten the concubine's room?
Since ancient times, concubines have been just a plaything. In terms of upbringing and moral character, they are naturally inferior to the head wives, especially the head wives from high-ranking families. Which one has not been raised by the family in various ways.

The wife who has been rehabilitated by a concubine might as well renew her marriage!

The methods used by the concubine are all dirty and treacherous, and even more abominable!More vicious!
Gu Yuqing knew that Jiang's mother had misunderstood her, but she had no intention of explaining.

To her, Mother Jiang's words were like a thunderbolt, which made her confused.

Gu Yuhe was delivered by Mother Jiang herself. How could Mother Jiang call her a young master?Shock and doubt arose in her heart, but Gu Yuqing's face became calmer and calmer. Her face, as white as gelatin, remained calm, and she followed Mother Jiang's words and said, "He is fine, nothing happened."

This is also thanks to her helping Xiao Duo win the heir in her previous life, and she has developed the ability to hide her thoughts from others.

Before Mother Jiang could respond, Gu Yuqing asked first, "Can Mother Jiang tell Ah Qing what happened when her mother gave birth? Ah Qing really wants to know."

When Gu Yuqing asked suddenly, Jiang's mother thought she was missing her mother and wanted to know the story about her mother, so she didn't have any doubts in her heart, she just sighed and said: "The madam gave birth to the young master back then, it can be said that she narrowly escaped death."

The past events came to mind, and Mother Jiang's eyes became erratic and confused.

"The young master is not the first child, and my wife's pregnancy has always been stable, so there is no big problem. But for some reason, my wife was stimulated, so that she had a lot of fetal gas and came on early. But our young master is also very annoying, so unexpectedly It comes out feet first.”

"The midwife invited by the house to deliver the baby was not the experienced one originally appointed. At that time, the wife was in a panic, and the lady went to another house to deliver the baby. The Marquis had no choice but to hire the midwife from the palace. come out."

"I don't know if it's because the nanny has little experience or for some other reason. By the time the slave came in, the nanny was already so frightened that her legs were weak and her face was ashen. She was too busy taking care of herself that she still had the strength to help the lady deliver the baby. No wonder she had to let her go. The woman who was midwifery went out and asked the Marquis whether he wanted to protect the adult or the child. It seems that she was not responsible at all."

Gu Yuqing was frightened when she heard this, and her face became more solemn.

"It's also because the madam and the young master are lucky. The ancestors of the servants have been delivering babies for several generations. They have been exposed to it since childhood. In addition, before going to the house to be the eldest lady's wet nurse, they also delivered many babies. They are quite experienced."

"Madam is very strong. She suffered from early morning until night. She lost a lot of blood and the mattress and sheets were soaked. She didn't say a word of giving up. This slave girl still remembers that Madam grabbed the clothes under her with all her strength. Shanzi gritted his teeth and said to the slave: If it is really impossible, you must save the marquis's flesh and blood for me. At that time, my wife's face was sallow, but her eyes were unshakable."

"At that time, I thought, no matter what, I can't let anything happen to Madam."

"Mrs. Ji, people have their own destiny. Although the heat is a bit difficult, at least the adults and children are safe."

Mother Jiang talked slowly, but Gu Yuqing was filled with doubts as she listened.

According to Mother Jiang, she was not the only one in the room when she delivered the baby to her mother. Logically speaking, if the mother really gave birth to a boy, Mother Jiang should be the only one who knows why no one has mentioned it in these years.

"Mother Jiang, when Yu... when my brother was born, were you the one who carried him out with your own hands?" Gu Yuqing asked calmly.

Mother Jiang nodded, "Yes, because the young master was born prematurely, he was born red and small, like a newborn kitten. He didn't even have the strength to cry. He just chirped a few times, not as loud as the birds on the porch. Loud.”

Mother Jiang's words were clear and precise, which showed that she still remembered the matter clearly and could not be wrong at all.

Then...since the mother gave birth to a boy, where did Gu Yuhe come from, and where did her brother go?
Gu Yuqing was frightened and confused, as if a mess wrapped around her heart, getting tighter and tighter, strangling her until she couldn't breathe.

In two lifetimes, she had never doubted that Gu Yuhe was not her biological sister, never!

Did the mother and father know that the mother's child was not Gu Yuhe at all?

"Mother Jiang, you brought your brother out. Did mother look at him? Did the midwife in the delivery room look at him? Did father look at him?"

Mother Jiang smiled and said, "He was born two or three months prematurely. He was so weak that he couldn't bear the slightest wind. Not to mention the midwives and maids in the delivery room, even the Marquis didn't take notice of him right away." As soon as the young master came out, the servant hurriedly wrapped him tightly with the quilt that had been prepared long ago."

"It's a pity that I was sick at that time. I collapsed after delivering my wife's baby. Before I could fully tell the Marquis the good news, I fainted. When I woke up again, it would be three or four days later. .”

"It also happened that something happened at home at that time. The slave and his wife took leave and hurried back. They didn't bother to look at the young master when they left. Who would have thought that the separation would last for several years. I'm afraid that the young master would be separated at this time. The young master is standing right in front of the slave, and the slave cannot recognize him. Fortunately, the young master has a circular black and blue birthmark on his left foot, and the slave still remembers it."
