Chapter 357 The emperor’s sister-in-law?
Chapter 357 The emperor’s sister-in-law?
There was confusion in his green eyes, but he was still extremely happy that she had come.
Gu Qingyuan asked him seriously, "Do you remember when I asked you if you wanted to see your family again?"
"Are they... coming to see you again?"
The first person Lu Rui thought of was Zhang's father and mother who had come to him to ask for money before. When he heard Gu Qingyuan ask this, he immediately became nervous.
"No," Gu Qingyuan shook her head. "It's hard to explain this matter in a short time. Just come with me later."
"Oh."
He stood next to Gu Qingyuan and looked to be about the same height as her.
Before Lu Rui's leg was not fully healed, he could not stand straight. Now that it has been completely healed, he can stand side by side with her.
He would listen to whatever she said.
Gu Qingyuan led him out of the courtyard. Wen Shubai hadn't returned to the house yet. Seeing Gu Qingyuan bringing Lu Rui, he first glanced at them and then asked, "My wife came back in such a hurry just to take Lu Rui out?"
"Well, something happened."
At the general's mansion, her mother and two princesses from the Holy Land were waiting, so she had to go there as soon as possible and not let them wait too long.
"What's the matter?" Wen Shubai asked.
"It's about Lu Rui's relatives."
After talking to Wen Shubai, Gu Qingyuan took Lu Rui and got on the carriage to the general's mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Rui clasped his hands together, feeling uneasy.
He had just heard that Gu Qingyuan took him there, and it was about his relatives.
Could it be that she will send herself away after finding her relatives?
Thinking of this, Lu Rui couldn't help but look at Gu Qingyuan, his voice a little hoarse.
"My wife..."
"I'm here."
Gu Qingyuan was sitting opposite him. Noticing his nervous expression, she smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous. You'll understand when you come with me to the General's Mansion."
The more she acted like this, the more worried Lu Rui became, especially since she looked so relaxed.
Lu Rui said, "I will not leave my wife. The Gu family is my home. Wherever my wife is, there I will be."
Gu Qingyuan realized that he was showing his loyalty?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Rui felt even more uneasy. There was tension on his face. When he thought about leaving her later, his heart suddenly felt extremely sour.
"I don't want to leave my wife, so can we go back?"
His words were almost pleading.
Gu Qingyuan kicked him and pretended to be angry, "Who said I was going to send you away?"
She just wanted to take Lu Rui over to confirm it and let him recognize her as a relative.
Lu Rui was a little confused, but knowing that she was not going to send him away, he felt a lot more relaxed.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Gu Qingyuan knew that they had arrived at the general's mansion.
She was the first to open the curtain and jump down, then she reached out to Lu Rui in the carriage and helped him down.
Lu Rui was held by her hand, and he looked up at the huge sign with "General's Mansion" written on it.
The person at the door bowed to Gu Qingyuan and said, "Greetings, Young Master."
Gu Qingyuan walked around them and went in with Lu Rui.
inside the house.
General Gu had a lot of snacks prepared and placed on the table to entertain Bai Xuan and Bai Shao.
Looking at these two lively little girls, she seemed to see Gu Qingyuan when she was younger.
While eating, the two of them looked outside the door, expecting Gu Qingyuan to come with his men.
Until Gu Qingyuan's voice sounded outside.
"Mom, I'm here."
Bai Xuan and Bai Shao jumped off their chairs and ran to the door.
Gu Qingyuan took Lu Rui into the house. Lu Rui followed her closely, fearing that she would leave him behind.
When Bai Xuan saw Lu Rui coming with Gu Qingyuan, she felt a sense of closeness to him.
Lu Rui felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.
Instead, Bai Shao asked directly, "Are you our royal brother?"
Royal brother?
Lu Rui was stunned by the address and waved his hand, saying, "You've got the wrong person."
General Gu looked at Lu Rui and the two princesses from the side. They had the same green eyes, and his appearance was similar to that of the eighth princess Bai Xuan.
She already understood something in her heart.
Bai Xuan and Bai Shao surrounded Lu Rui, scaring him so much that he grabbed Gu Qingyuan's clothes tightly. If he could get in, he would probably have gotten into her clothes.
Gu Qingyuan grabbed his hand at this time and gave him strength.
"Sit down and talk."
The servants of the general's mansion brought a stool, and Lu Rui sat next to Gu Qingyuan, while Bai Xuan and Bai Shao were looking at them.
Lu Rui's head was lowered, letting his hair cover part of his face.
The way he was so afraid of relying on Gu Qingyuan made Bai Xuan feel heartbroken. What on earth had the emperor been through here?!
Bai Xuan said, "Brother, don't be afraid. Father and Mother miss you very much."
Only then did he raise his head and look at Bai Xuan who was talking to him.
The girl's eyes were full of seriousness and sincerity. After he saw Bai Xuan, he realized that her eye color was the same as his.
In the past, people thought his eyes were ominous because they were different from those of ordinary people, which made him feel inferior.
Only now did he realize that there were people in the world with the same eyes as his.
I took another quick look to the side and saw that the other girl also had green eyes.
He said to Gu Qingyuan: "Wife..."
Gu Qingyuan said, "These two are princesses from the Holy Land Kingdom who are visiting. They are coming to Daning Kingdom to look for their relatives, and you are the one they are looking for."
Lu Rui didn't understand what he heard, but he vaguely understood something.
Are these two his relatives?
Bai Xuan and Bai Shao didn't need to say much at this time, they had already determined that the person next to Gu Qingyuan was the one they were looking for.
"Great, we've found our brother! Let's go back and tell our fifth sister."
They felt that they were so lucky. They had just come out for a stroll today and found the emperor. The fifth sister would definitely praise them then!
The two people chattered excitedly.
Bai Xuan then turned to Gu Qingyuan and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, it's really all thanks to you!"
This title inexplicably made Gu Qingyuan's mind go blank for a moment, but then she thought, if Lu Rui is their royal brother, then logically speaking, she should be their royal sister-in-law.
She coughed lightly and said, "By the way, didn't you just say you were going to report to the Fifth Princess? Why don't we bring her along today?"
From what she observed, the people from the Holy Land Kingdom seemed to be taking orders from the Fifth Princess.
So, I might as well take this opportunity to meet her today.
"But our fifth sister went out today, and I don't know if she's back yet."
As she spoke, Bai Xuan was still a little depressed.
"It's okay. It's not too late to wait until tomorrow."
Bai Xuan looked at Lu Rui again, as if she wanted to say something to him.
Gu Qingyuan stood up and said, "Then you two can chat first."
