Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Imperial Duke Zhan had to carry out his responsibilities to the end.
“You don’t have to worry about us. Even if Ye’er often comes to the palace, I have Xue’er and her family of four by my side. I won’t be as lonely as I was before.” Madam Qiao could not bear to see the Imperial Duke Zhan sad, so she smiled and comforted him.
How could Imperial Duke Zhan not know that Maam Qiao was pretending to be strong? However, he had no other way. The only thing he could do was to reach out and hold Madam Qiao’s hand.
“Don’t worry, Godfather, ” Gu Qingxue said. “I’ll come back often to keep Godmother company.”
“Speaking of which, the place I’m stationed at isn’t far from the Qi family. Xue ‘er, do you have anything you want me to tell the Qi family?” Imperial Duke Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue and asked.
When Gu Qingxue heard this, she could not help but fall into deep thought.
She did not know how to respond to her Godfather’s sudden mention of the Qi family.
She did not have any feelings for the Qi family, but her grandmothers condition was getting better by the day. She was only worried that the people in Jing City were cunning, so she delayed her grandmother’s treatment.
However, sooner or later, the poison in her grandmother’s body would be cured and she would return to normal. At that time, it would be inevitable that Madam Qi would have to contact the Qi family’s granduncles, uncles, and brothers.
Instead of testing it out when the time came, it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to test it out first.
“Then, I’ll have to trouble Godfather to inform the Qi family of my father’s innocence after you meet them,” Gu Qingxue said with a light smile.
If the Qi family was truly concerned, they would naturally express their feelings when they received the news.
If they did not do anything, then she would naturally know how to treat them in the future.
“Xue ‘er, are you going back after today’s meal?” Madam Qiao’s tone changed, and she looked at Gu Qingxue with anticipation. “Mother wants you to stay at home. I’ve already ordered people to help you tidy up your room.”
“This … I’m afraid I can’t. Mother, I agreed to go to the prince regent’s residence for the New Year to repay His Royal Highness’ help. I can’t break my promise.” Seeing Madam Qiao lower her eyes in disappointment, Gu Qingxue also could not bear to see her like this. She quickly added, “I’ll stay in the prince regent’s residence for a few more days. After the third day of the new year, I’ll definitely come over with the children often.”
“Hmph, Xue ‘er, you’re giving too much face to the prince regent. I don’t think he has any good intentions. You shouldn’t have agreed to go to the prince regent’s residence from the beginning.” After Imperial Duke Zhan mentioned Rong Zhan, he snorted coldly.
Zhan Liuye shook his head helplessly. “Father, it’s fine if you say this at home.
If His Royal Highness hears about this, it’ll inevitably cause a misunderstanding.”
“Do you think I’m afraid of him? He’s indeed the prince regent, so others might be afraid of him, but I’m not! Who asked him to abduct the daughter I’ve finally acknowledged?” Imperial Duke Zhan’s tone sounded particularly resentful.
Gu Qingxue had just picked up her teacup and was drinking some tea. When she heard this, she almost could not hold back and spat out the tea in her mouth. “Godfather, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have that kind of relationship with His Royal Highness.”
“Ah? Wasn’t it? I thought mother definitely liked Uncle Fairy, and that’s why you brought us to stay at Uncle Fairy’s house.” Lingbao had been listening attentively, but she was extremely disappointed when she heard Gu Qingxue say that she did not like him.
It was not just the Lingbao, even the Dumby was a little disappointed.
However, before he opened his mouth, he looked at his big brother. Seeing that his big brother did not say a word, he also obediently closed his mouth..
