The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

143 I Want to Take You In as My Adopted Daughter

“What do you know? How can the fate between mother and daughter be broken so easily? When I was young, I had calculated that I was destined to have a daughter, but I’ve seen forty years of age, and my body is weak, so it’s impossible for me to have another daughter. Therefore, I think that the daughter they mentioned back then must be the fate of my previous life.” Madam Qiao became more and more delighted as she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Gu Qingxue’s hand. “Xue’er, I’ve always hoped to have a daughter. I feel that you’re the daughter that God has given me. If you’re willing, I want to take you in as my adopted daughter.”

Gu Qingxue was very surprised. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.

However, Madam Qiao’s gaze was too gentle.

She could tell that Madam Qiao had no distracting thoughts in her heart. It was just that Madam Qiao liked her too much, which was why she made this request.

This made it very difficult for her to refuse.

From Madam Qiao’s eyes, she could see a mother’s pity for her child.

In her previous life, her parents had died early and she had never enjoyed the love of a mother. It was her grandfather who had raised her from a young age.

After being reborn, the previous owner of this body had also lost both her parents. She had even thought that she did not deserve the love of her parents.

However, she did not expect that this loss would actually be made up for by Madam Qiao.

“My wife, how could you offend Eldest Miss Gu like this? It’s fine if you’re just wishful thinking, but you still have to listen to Eldest Miss Gu’s wishes. It’s not right to force it.” Imperial Duke Zhan was not as agitated as Lady Qiao, he looked at Gu Qingxue, his eyes devoid of any warmth. “Eldest Miss Gu, if you feel that it’s inappropriate, you can reject it.”

Gu Qingxue looked at Imperial Duke Zhan. She could tell that he was not very happy about it.

It made sense. What kind of place was the imperial duke’s manor? There were so many people who wanted to be related to this place. Everyone had their own thoughts.

Imperial Duke Zhan had always been on guard. He probably could not accept the sudden appearance of a daughter.

Gu Qingxue looked at Madam Qiao, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.

She had thought that she would be able to get the love of a mother, but when she calmed down and thought about it, it didn’t seem appropriate.

Thus, Gu Qingxue let go of Madam Qiao’s hand.

After Madam Qiao’s hand was let go, the light in her eyes dimmed. “Xue’er, are you unwilling?”

“Thank you for your love, Madam, but things can’t be forced.” Gu Qingxue glanced at tImperial Duke Zhan, then retracted her gaze.

Imperial Duke Zhan’s gaze moved slightly.

He understood what Gu Qingxue meant.

It was not that she was unwilling, but she saw that he was not willing, so she rejected Madam Qiao.

She did not want to be wronged, and she was even less willing to force Imperial Duke Zhan to accept her.

Gu Qingxue’s pride made tImperial Duke Zhan look at her in a different light.

He originally thought that Gu Qingxue would not let go of this opportunity to climb up the social ladder, and would immediately find ways to climb up the social ladder.

However, from her reaction, he could tell that she was cold and arrogant in her bones, and she disdained to do such a despicable thing.

Imperial Duke Zhan was a little depressed.

Could it be that he was thinking too much? Was Gu Qingxue really getting close to Yi’er out of a moment of kindness, and not because she and the Gu family had planned it together and wanted to curry favor with their family?

Madam Qiao also noticed the look in Gu Qingxue’s eyes, and could not help but glance at Imperial Duke Zhan.

“Madam, I still have some private matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll come back to treat my lady at the same time tomorrow.” Gu Qingxue stood up, carrying the medicine box she had brought with her and striding away.

Imperial Duke Zhan felt it was a pity when he saw Gu Qingxue leaving.

However, he had always been proud. Even though he realized that he had misunderstood Gu Qingxue, he could not lower his head and admit his mistake. He could only watch Gu Qingxue leave.
