Chapter 236: Smashed 140! (One more update)_2
“Thank you, Miss.” Fang Momo was a person who greatly valued discipline, but she really couldn’t hold on any longer. She sat down on the stone bench next to Gu Jiao and said, “The flowers in the flower room were planted by the gardeners of the residence. Whatever flower the old lady likes, the gardeners would plant. Usually… there are mostly peonies, with some Chinese Peonies, Orchids, and Water Lilies. There are also other flowers, like West Residence Begonias, but I don’t often go to the flower room. This information is all from the servants in the residence.”
After a pause, as if recalling something, Fang Momo added, “However, Madam Ling is also good at planting flowers, even better than the gardeners. The old lady mostly leaves her to take care of these tasks now.”
Gu Jiao peered into the distance: “I see, where is she now?”
Fang Momo sensed something and asked, “Miss… why are you suddenly asking about this? Is there something wrong with the flower room?”
“There is indeed a problem, and as for who did it, we need to find out.” Gu Jiao had never considered whether it was intentional or unintentional. She didn’t believe that there are so many coincidences in this world. Otherwise, the Yao Family wouldn’t have been poisoned in the manor.”
Someone resented the Yao Family and wanted to get rid of them.
Fang Momo naturally thought of this as well, but she didn’t expect it to be related to the flower room.
“I will go and find out.”
Fang Momo went to inquire about Madam Ling’s whereabouts, and found that she wasn’t at the residence at this moment, as she had gone to visit her parents’ house.
“I’ll come again another day.” Gu Jiao picked up the flower, “These few days, don’t let the lady come out for fresh air.”
“Yes!” Fang Momo complied.
She looked at Gu Jiao and felt a surge of emotion.
Perhaps she’s still somewhat disapproving of some of the Miss’s actions, but it’s undeniable that when the lady is in trouble, the one who is truly reliable is the Miss.
On the other side, Gu Changqing returned to the Marquis Residence.
He just arrived and heard that the old lady Gu had an accident, so he went to her courtyard.
The old lady Gu had been hit hard by the flower pot, her body was bruised and her forehead was bleeding.
“What happened?” Gu Changqing asked.
The trusted Momo said: “An unknown girl from nowhere charged at the old lady, causing the old lady to fall in the flower room.”
Just listen, it was her own fall, but she insisted on blaming it on others.
The old lady Gu, pressing the gauze on her forehead, yelled angrily: “It must be a thief! You must catch her!”
If it’s indeed a thief, then of course one should be caught.
Gu Changqing ordered to seal off the residence.
Gu Jiao’s carriage had just arrived at the entrance of the residence when it was stopped by a guard.
The guard said, “A thief has broken into the residence. The heir commands that no one is allowed to freely enter or leave the Marquis Residence!”
Fang Momo said sternly: “Are you blind! This is the lady’s carriage! Could there be a thief on the lady’s carriage?”
The guard replied: “I’m sorry!”
Gu Changqing’s personal guard listened to him alone, no matter whether it was the carriage of Yao Family or the old lady, none could pass.
During the dispute between the two sides, Gu Changqing heard the commotion here and came over with a cold expression.
Fang Momo gave him a salutation: “Heir.”
Gu Changqing looked at the carriage behind her: “Does the lady want to leave?”
Fang Momo opened her mouth but was uncertain how to respond.
Gu Jiao lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked at the authoritative Gu Changqing: “It’s me who wants to go out.”
Gu Changqing was immediately taken aback.
Ever since he found out that the young man was Gu Yan, he of course guessed Gu Jiao’s identity as well. It can’t be denied that he was shocked at first, but it would be overly dramatic to say that he was still shocked after so many days have passed.
He looked at Gu Jiao with a complex expression.
However, Gu Jiao had just realized that this person was actually her half-brother from the same father but different mother, Gu Changqing.
No wonder she dreamed of him.
And no wonder he hasn’t come for so many days.
He must have guessed her and Gu Yan’s identities.
This is really… don’t know what to say.
The people of two rival houses who were not in good terms have bizarrely become involved- he saved Xiao Jingkong, she then saved him, and he saved Gu Yan again.
Gu Jiao leisurely watched her half-brother, her hand propping up her chin: “Not letting me go?”
Gu Changqing was slightly stunned by her calm and composed tone.
Doesn’t she have any burden?
About the identity between them.
“No.” Gu Changqing came back to his senses, and said to the guard, “Let them go.”
“Yes!” The guard didn’t ask any further, respectfully stepped aside.
Fang Momo was very doubtful. It seems that the Miss and the heir… do they know each other?
Gu Jiao put down the curtain and the carriage had just moved a few steps when she suddenly asked the carriage to stop again. She lifted the curtain again and threw that bunch of white flowers out from inside.
