Chapter 525 I Remembered It All
The two of them were lying on the bed, and Gu Qingyuan stared at General Gu without blinking.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" General Gu asked her helplessly.
Gu Qingyuan shook his head, approached General Gu and explained his purpose.
"Mom, I was actually worried that you came so late."
"worry about me?"
General Gu was a little puzzled.
What could have happened at her home that would make Gu Qingyuan, who had already gone home, come back so late at night?
"Yeah, I was afraid that Mom would be upset, so I came here to keep you company."
General Gu remained silent.
It was this period of silence that made Gu Qingyuan even more worried.
She knew that her mother was still blaming herself for Luo Jin's matter and felt sorry for her father.
Could it be that my mother really intends to commit suicide?
Because when Ji Mingzhao talked to her, she was only worried about her mother and didn't think about anything else.
She grabbed her mother's hand and felt the thick calluses on her mother's palms from holding the sword. Those hands were slightly rough, but it was these hands that carried the entire general's mansion and the Daning Kingdom.
When General Gu came out of his hometown he had nothing, but he built up his current status with his own hands.
"Don't think blindly."
Finally, General Gu said.
She pulled the quilt up and closed her eyes again to sleep.
Only after General Gu fell asleep did Gu Qingyuan finally sleep peacefully.
In the next few days, Gu Qingyuan found ways to stay in the general's mansion and accompany General Gu.
Seeing the person who was almost inseparable from him, General Gu asked helplessly, "Why aren't you going back yet? Don't you have anything to do?"
Gu Qingyuan shook her head and said, "Anyway, Ah Bai is responsible for the family affairs, so I just want to spend more time with my mother."
Afterwards, she accompanied General Gu to train troops and handle some military affairs.
The day came when Xixi and Xiaonian returned from the academy.
This time, Gu Qingyuan went to pick them up in person.
The two men saw Gu Qingyuan waiting there and ran towards her at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Qingyuan opened her arms and hugged both of them in her arms.
"How are you doing in the academy? Especially Xiaonian, are you used to it?"
Xixi was the first to speak: "Don't worry, mother. Xiaonian and I are doing well in the academy. Especially Xiaonian, who often praises the teacher!"
"Really?"
Gu Qingyuan looked down at Xiao Nian and noticed a hint of embarrassment on her face.
She took the two of them into the carriage. Xiao Nian asked curiously, "Why is it Mom who came to pick us up today?"
"Aren't you happy that I came to pick you up?" Gu Qingyuan pretended to be angry.
Xiao Nian quickly said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that Aunt Chunfen always came to pick up my sister before, and I thought she would come to pick us up today too."
But they were very happy to see their mother.
On the way back, Xixi insisted on going downstairs to buy something to eat as usual.
Gu Qingyuan asked her to open her mouth and found that the lower front tooth that Xixi had lost had already grown out.
However, at this time she had a big tooth that was broken and looked shaky.
"Your teeth are already like this, why are you still eating sweets?"
Xixi cried out, "I want to eat it!"
The carriage's wheels rolled over a stone, causing the carriage to jolt suddenly.
Xixi's head hit the carriage, making a "bang" sound.
"Ouch my head! I'm going to be hit silly now."
The woman driving the carriage in front stopped the carriage in fear and asked inside, "Second Miss, are you okay? I didn't see the rock in front of me just now. I'm sorry, sorry."
Gu Qingyuan glanced at Xixi and answered for her: "It's nothing, just continue driving the carriage."
After hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, the woman driving the carriage in front pulled the rope and continued driving the carriage.
Xixi looked at Gu Qingyuan with resentment.
She could even smell the sweet aroma of chestnuts.
She wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, sugar-fried chestnuts, candied haws, and Liu Ji's pastries.
Xiao Nian was sitting there quietly. Just now, Xixi said that she hit her head, so she reached out her hand to rub Xixi's head, but was rejected by Xixi.
Suddenly, the scene before she was kidnapped slowly emerged in Xixi's mind.
She remembered that she and Xiao Nian went to follow the man surnamed Luo, and that man was talking to the Sixth Princess and said that he almost succeeded.
And before, when she was in the general's mansion, she saw that person trying to sneak into grandma's room.
She immediately grabbed the arm of Gu Qingyuan, who was sitting opposite them, and said, "Mom, let's go to grandma's house."
"What? Are you going to complain to grandma that I didn't buy you food? Don't you see what happened to your teeth?" Gu Qingyuan said helplessly.
It’s not that her mother is cruel, it’s just that Xixi has eaten so many desserts since she was a child, and now her teeth are changing earlier than her peers.
Xixi shook her head and said seriously, "No, I have more important things to do."
She remembered it all.
While there is still time, she must go back and tell her grandma.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."
Gu Qingyuan said to the woman in front of him, "Let's go to the General's Mansion first, and then go home."
However, before reaching the general's mansion, Gu Qingyuan discovered that a group of soldiers had surrounded the mansion.
Her eyelids twitched and she had a bad feeling.
"Stay in the carriage for now. I'll go see what's going on."
Gu Qingyuan gave instructions to Xixi and Xiaonian.
The two of them pulled open the curtain and saw the general's mansion surrounded by heavy walls.
"Mom, we have to go too."
"No, you must stay."
Gu Qingyuan took a firm stance and asked the woman driving the carriage to keep an eye on them.
Xixi struggled and was unwilling to stay in the carriage.
Gu Qingyuan walked closer and found that the door of the general's mansion was sealed!
"What are you doing? Who gave you the courage?" Gu Qingyuan shouted harshly.
The leader in front heard Gu Qingyuan's voice and sneered, "We are here to search the General's Mansion on the orders of His Majesty. General Gu intends to rebel and should be executed."
In other words, it was the Sixth Princess who asked them to come.
At this time, more and more people came to watch the excitement, and Gu Qingyuan went inside with a gloomy face.
The general's mansion was in a mess.
The maids and servants were all under control, and people were coming in and out of the study and General Gu's room.
"Stop, do you know what you are doing?"
By placing charges like treason on people, these people want to completely eradicate the General's Mansion!
"Please forgive me, Young Master Gu. We are only following orders."
General Gu stood there with a pale face, and Gu Qingyuan hurried towards her.
"mother."
These people suddenly broke in and wanted to seal off the general's mansion. Everything happened so fast that people couldn't react.
"General Gu, what is this?"
