Chapter 286: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 14
Chapter 286: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 14
"Uncle Gu, everyone will always encounter difficulties in their life that they cannot solve by their own ability, right? Although this jade pendant is valuable, you can't use it outside because no one dares to accept it. Its only function is to represent your identity..."
"But we can't use your jade pendant to..." What a fraud!
Gu Yong didn't dare to say the rest.
"That's not what I meant. I meant that if you bring it to the Lin Mansion in Kyoto, it can help you solve the difficulties or injustices you encounter. This is a promise I made as a prince. It will only be used once, and it will be invalidated once used!"
Seeing that Gu Yong was still hesitating, Li Xiuqin pulled him aside and took the jade pendant with both hands.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, if he didn't accept it, I would. You are right. If we ordinary people really encounter some injustice, we have nowhere to seek justice. With your promise, we can live more peacefully in the future."
"Aunt Li is still sensible. Next time I should tell her directly." Cheng Shangyu said with a smile.
"That is, that is."
"Okay, I'm almost done and I have to go, Uncle Gu and Aunt Li, I hope you are in good health and everything goes well."
"You too, have a good trip."
Cheng Shangyu was just about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Qian, who was standing aside with little sense of presence.
"Little Gu Qian, see you again if we are lucky."
Gu Qian was speechless. She was still young, and the prince was not much older than her.
He acts like an old man all day long, and his words are always flawless.
As expected, people in the royal family mature precociously.
No matter how she complained in her heart, Gu Qian still put on a well-behaved look, waved her hand and said, "Goodbye, brother."
Seeing this, Cheng Shangyu touched Gu Qian's head and got on the carriage with satisfaction.
Gu Yong pulled the cart aside and watched Cheng Shangyu leave together with Li Xiuqin and Gu Qian.
"Alas, I hope that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince will be safe and sound in the future." Looking at Cheng Shangyu's receding back, Li Xiuqin couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes!" Gu Yong nodded, having the same expectation in his heart.
After hearing what they said, Gu Qian felt that this might be very difficult.
Although no one knew what exactly happened, it was very strange that a prince, so young as he was, ran to a place some distance away from Kyoto and was inexplicably injured.
In short, it is nothing more than some struggles within the royal family.
If it succeeds in the end it will be fine, but if it fails... the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, Gu Qian suddenly thought of this jade pendant... Could it be that this jade pendant cannot be used before it is used? It seems that I have to use it sooner rather than later. The prince's promise is very valuable!
"Qianqian, Qianqian?" Li Xiuqin shook Gu Qian and looked at her with a strange expression, feeling a little puzzled.
"Ah? What's wrong with mother?" Gu Qian, who was immersed in fantasy, was awakened by Li Xiuqin.
"Qianqian, are you daydreaming again? Mommy wants to ask you if you want to sit on the cart?"
"Okay, okay!" Of course it's good not to leave!
As soon as Gu Qian finished speaking, Gu Yong immediately said, "Then daddy will carry you up."
As a result, Gu Qian was bumped as soon as he sat on the cart.
"Hiss! Daddy, there's something underneath. It hurts. I don't want to sit here anymore."
"Is there something?" Gu Yong asked doubtfully. Just as he was about to open it to take a look, he was stopped by Li Xiuqin.
"Brother Yong, have you forgotten what the Fifth Prince said? Let's go back and look at it again."
"Oh, yeah! Then we can't open it, Qianqian, how about Daddy carry you on his back?"
"Forget it, Qianqian can walk by herself." Gu Qian didn't want her father to be too tired. After all, he still had to push the cart!
"If you can't walk anymore, tell daddy and he will carry you."
"Ok!"
"Xiuqin, let's put these bags in and leave one outside." In addition to clothes, the bags they brought back also contained some silver.
This amount of silver alone was something their family had never had before.
"Okay, there are some wild vegetables here. We can pick some and put them on top to block the fire."
"Xiuqin, you are so smart!"
The two men decorated the cart again and pushed it back to the village entrance.
At this time, there were still quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the village, and all of them looked like they had survived a disaster.
Gu Yong was pushing the cart and was in a dilemma.
"Brother Yong, let's go. They won't have the extra time to pay attention to our cart now. It's just..." Li Xiuqin didn't say the rest of the words.
In fact, what she wanted to say was that she was afraid that Gu Yong would not know what to do and be exposed.
However, her worries were obviously unnecessary.
Soon someone discovered the family of three.
"Gu Yong, come and take a look! This family will depend on you to support it in the future..."
"Xiaoyong, your brother...ah..."
Everyone tacitly made way for them, and at this time Gu Yong finally saw the scene inside.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!" Gu Yong put down the cart and ran over crying.
"Mom and Dad, this...how could this happen?"
No one answered him. Gu Ming and Zhao Mei were so busy crying that they had no time to pay attention to him.
Li Xiuqin stood outside the crowd, watching the scene inside, which would not end for a while.
Just in case, she glanced at the cart on the ground, took a deep breath, and lifted it up with all her strength.
"Qianqian, let's go back first."
"Okay!" Seeing that Li Xiuqin was struggling, Gu Qian used her spiritual power to gently help her share some of the weight.
Sure enough, Li Xiuqin immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
On the way back, they met almost no one.
Most people were watching the excitement at the entrance of the village, and a small number of people did not dare to come out or had difficulty moving.
So, Li Xiuqin pulled the cart back home smoothly.
She took out everything inside and locked it in the cabinet in the room without even looking at it.
"Come on, Qianqian, let's go find your father." It's time to act.
Li Xiuqin is not like Gu Yong. He still feels some genuine sadness about the death of Gu Zhi and Zhao Yue'er, but she is calm and even a little happy.
No matter how badly Gu Ming and Zhao Mei treated her, they were her elders, her parents-in-law. Bound by filial piety, she could only endure it. There was nothing she could do.
But what qualifications do Gu Zhi and Zhao Yue'er have to bully her?
Since she got married, she took it for granted to enjoy her service, eat the food she cooked, wear the clothes she washed, and even complain to Zhao Mei that the food was not tasty or the clothes were not washed clean.
He tried to trip her up everywhere and find excuses for Zhao Mei to beat her.
Even when Zhao Mei was beating and scolding her, she was still watching and mocking her.
These two people deserved this fate!
Haha, she was almost dying of laughter. Gu Ming and Zhao Mei must be feeling very uncomfortable too. It was really a relief!
Alas, the only bad thing is that Gu Zhi and Zhao Yue'er are dead, and these two people are likely to rely on their family.
But it doesn’t matter, she is no longer the original Li Xiuqin. If you want to make a living under her, you must first learn to lower your head!
