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

148 Leaving Jing City Together With Her Grandmother

Madam Kou said with a smile, “What a pity. I like those three children very much. Xue’er, mother asked you to come over for a meal today mainly because she sympathizes with a woman like you. You have to work hard every day to take care of the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan. It’s really too tiring.”

Gu Qingxue picked up the chopsticks and said with a faint smile, “To be trusted and appreciated by the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan, I naturally have to do my best.”

“But as a younger brother, I feel sorry for you when I see you so busy,” Gu Chengbin said quickly.

“Yes. Recently, every time Lil’ Bin mentioned the imperial duke’s wife to me, he felt sorry for her,” Gu Lingyue said.

Hearing this, Gu Qingxue understood why the family asked her to come here today.

It seemed that these people were really not afraid of death. After being beaten up by the imperial duke’s wife, they still dared to have such thoughts.

Treating it as if she did not understand anything, Gu Qingxue smiled and asked, “What do you think I should do?”

“Big sister, we are a family, we should help each other. How about from tomorrow onwards, let me help big sister take care of the imperial duke’s wife’s body? I promise, I will listen to big sister and not give you any trouble,” Gu Chengbin said with a bright smile.

Gu Qingxue raised her eyes to look at Gu Chengbin.

Gu Chengbin also met Gu Qingxue’s clear black and white eyes, and his heart could not help but tremble.

Those eyes were pitch-black like an endless abyss, and one could not see the end of it at a glance, making it difficult to understand.

Not only that, but her cold gaze also carried a trace of oppression, making Gu Chengbin’s breathing somewhat difficult.

Just when Gu Chengbin was sweating nervously, Gu Qingxue actually smiled.

“That’s a good idea.”

Madam Kou looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise.

Did she agree so easily?

In contrast to Gu Chengbin’s surprised expression, Madam Kou felt it was inappropriate for Gu Qingxue to agree so decisively.

“So, big sister agreed?” Gu Chengbin had prepared a lot of words to persuade Gu Qingxue, but he did not expect them to be useless.

“Of course. You said just now that a family should help each other. Coincidentally, I also have something to discuss with you.” Gu Qingxue put down her chopsticks and glanced at the three people.

Madam Kou said gently, “Yes, a family should be like this. Xue’er, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as we can do it, we will help you.”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that I see that grandmother has nothing to do in the mansion, so I want to leave Jing City with her and go back to my former residence. In the future, I will take care of grandmother,” Gu Qingxue said, she observed the Kou family’s expression.

If she guessed correctly, Madam Kou was the one who poisoned her grandmother. In this case, Madam Kou would not want her to leave with her grandmother.

She had come here today to test Madam Kou. If Madam Kou did not agree, she would have to deal with her in a tough way.

Madam Kou did look surprised, but her expression was calm as if she wanted to get rid of the burden. This reaction was completely different from what Gu Qingxue had imagined.

Was she wrong?

Madam Kou could control her emotions freely. After a moment of happiness, she returned to her usual gentleness. “But I’ve taken care of mother for many years. Now that she’s suddenly going to leave, I feel really uncomfortable.”
