Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and wrote swiftly: "Big brother, is your throat uncomfortable?"
The old Marquis glanced at it and nearly exploded on the spot!
What big brother!
Your cover was blown long ago!
Cheeky Jiao: As long as I don’t admit it, my cover hasn’t been blown.
Gu Changqing rarely saw his grandfather at a loss, and couldn’t help but smile as he said to Gu Jiao, "Are you just here to see your adoptive father?"
Gu Jiao thought for a moment: "I already had dinner with General Xuanyuan last night... Well, seeing him again wouldn’t hurt."
Gu Changqing glanced at his grandfather, whose face was ashen, and asked his sister, "Anything else?"
Gu Jiao’s eyes darted around: "Hmm... Liao Chen?"
"Humph!"
The old Marquis snorted in anger and walked off without looking back!
Gu Changqing watched his grandfather leave in a huff and sighed, "Grandfather, since you’re already here, why not pay a visit to the Duke of An? Didn’t you just promise His Majesty in the palace that you would entertain the Duke properly?"
The old Marquis didn’t pause for a second, making a sharp turn and marching directly into the Duke of An’s residence.
Gu Changqing twitched the corner of his mouth: Your reaction is way too fast... Were you just waiting for me to say that?
As he brushed past Gu Jiao, the old Marquis gave her a very noticeable sidelong glance.
As if to say: If you’re going to disguise, do it right—no mask, bad review!
Steward Zheng welcomed the grandfather and grandson warmly, smiling as he invited them in.
Gu Jinyu was left outside all alone, feeling as if the entire world had abandoned her.
The development of the situation was completely beyond her expectations, and she couldn’t regain her composure for a long time.
The gaze people directed at her carried a hint of strangeness.
Originally, everyone thought that the young lady wasn’t acknowledged by the Marquis Residence. Who would have guessed that she was the one not recognized? The young lady was cherished by her grandfather and elder brother while she got scolded by the old Marquis just for calling him grandfather.
"That’s right, I heard that the Marquis’ daughter was mistakenly swapped with a country girl from an early age. The second young lady is the one who came from the countryside."
"A pheasant is just a pheasant; it can’t turn into a phoenix on the branch."
"Exactly. If they truly considered her a sister, why wouldn’t they tell her about becoming the Duke of An’s adoptive daughter?"
"She dares to say anything. Didn’t she just come here to tattle?"
Men aren’t really blind to the act; it’s just that some men happen to fall for it.
Gu Jinyu’s face burned, more embarrassed and humiliated than ever before.
