With this thought in mind, Cen Yunong reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, got up and quietly got out of bed, wearing rabbit plush slippers, and slowly went downstairs.
The strange thing is that the clock on the wall clearly told Cen Yunong that it was already after eight o'clock in the evening, but the living room was still empty and no one was setting food.
The little girls didn't know where they had gone, and there was no one in the hall.
This is really unconventional: usually he has dinner on time at 7:30. After dinner, Lin Shiyin naturally wants to accompany Gu Han downstairs to talk for a while or meet the guests.
Why is it so quiet today?
Cen Yunong was confused and walked around the living room when he suddenly heard the faint sounds of a quarrel.
While listening, she quietly walked towards the place where the quarrel came from.
It turned out that the quarrel came from a remote room on the third floor.
Cen Yunong stood secretly at the door, listening carefully to the quarrel inside. Then he heard Lin Xianyin's tired voice: "Mom is old, can you give her some peace of mind?"
Gu Shaoqin's cold voice came out immediately: "She is pregnant now, and the mother has fulfilled her wish. The son's mission has been completed. Should the mother follow the previous agreement and let her son find the person she likes?"
"Presumptuous!" Lin Xianyin's voice suddenly became serious. He slammed his hand on the table and said coldly, "What does it mean to complete the task? Is the child in her belly not your child? Don't you have any?
Do you care about the relationship between father and son? What does it mean to like someone? The one you should like is the one in your family! Don’t be the vixen outside..."
"Ru Ya is not a vixen, she never has been!" Gu Shaoqin's voice had a trace of ups and downs that was difficult to conceal. He rarely spoke in such a fierce tone. No matter how angry he was, he was always lazy and teasing.
I'm afraid he's really angry now.
"Ruya? Haha, you really are still thinking about that little bitch Shen Ruya!" Lin Shiyin's tone became even colder, "Their family has been defeated a long time ago, and she has gone abroad a long time ago! Shaoqin, don't be stupid.
, their family was defeated by our family in a fight, how could she love you, it was too late for her to hate you, you..."
"Mom, stop talking. My son has made up his mind, and nothing can change it. Besides, didn't mother know about this a long time ago? You were the one who gave it to Uncle Shen in person..." There was some thin sarcasm in Gu Shaoqin's voice.
, it sounds so hurtful.
"Shut up!" Lin Shiyin shouted to stop him, with a slight tremor in his voice, "How do you know so much about what happened back then?"
Gu Shaoqin sneered: "Why don't I know? Mother, I have such a wise and powerful mother like you, what else can't I learn, what methods can't I learn? Besides, my mother is so calm about this marriage.
Calmly, if my father finds out, I'm afraid..."
Cen Yunong's heart twitched, knowing that this was about her. But for some reason, when she heard Gu Shaoqin suddenly talking about herself in private, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.
The sounds in the room gradually died down, and Lin Shiyin didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something very serious.
After a long time, she sighed softly: "Shaoqin, why don't you understand your mother's painstaking efforts?"
Gu Shaoqin said coldly: "Of course I know your painstaking efforts, mother, but my son has a special liking for you and is not interested in other people."
Lin Xianyin smiled helplessly: "Is this the only way?"
Gu Shaoqin said coldly and decisively: "This is the only way."
After a long time, Cen Yunong heard a long sigh coming from the room, and Lin Shiyin's voice became even more tired: "No more, it's useless to talk more. You have already made up your mind to go, and I can't stop you. There's just one thing. You must write a guarantee to your mother. Promise that you will never tell this matter. Otherwise, no matter where Shen Ruya is, she will never be alive to see you again."
Gu Shaoqin sneered twice: "If I sign this guarantee, if mother has any other requests, just tell me."
Lin Shiyin pondered for a moment: "Go home at least once a month to visit your wife. You are not allowed to bring that woman into the house before she gives birth, and you will never be allowed to do so in the future unless I die."
Gu Shaoqin's sneer rose again. He leaned over and signed the paper happily, returning to his carefree expression: "I can do all these, but mom, the night she was pregnant with the child, we accidentally We have all drank the good wine you prepared for us. If the child is born by then, how will you explain it to the father?"
His words reminded Cen Yunong of the aphrodisiac-laced wine Lin Shiyin prepared for them on the night of their wedding.
But luckily she wasn't conceived that night, so she wasn't afraid.
Lin Xianyin was heard saying coldly inside: "Don't worry, I will never let the Gu family have another Gu Shaoze!"
Gu Shaoze?
Who is that?
Cen Yunong thought for a while and understood. This Gu Shaoze was probably the second young master of the Gu family who was born disabled as the sister-in-law said.
Listening to Lin Siyin's tone now, she is still so sad. It seems that this incident has indeed left an indelible shadow in her heart.
I never imagined that a queen-like woman like Lin Shiyin would feel such pain in her heart.
While he was deep in thought, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and the bright light in the room suddenly poured out, illuminating the dark corridor and Cen Yunong standing in the darkness.
She closed her eyes suddenly, unable to adapt to the sudden strong light.
At this moment, Gu Shaoqin's usual mean and careless smile sounded in his ears: "Why, I didn't expect that my dear wife has a special hobby of eavesdropping on other people's speeches!"
Before Cen Yunong could refute, he heard Lin Shiyin sigh: "My child, it's so late, why did you come up here? Well, you should have a few words with your husband. It will be difficult to see him in the future."
When Cen Yunong heard what she said, he snorted coldly, opened his eyes, looked at Gu Shaoqin with great disdain, and sneered: "If he does such a thing, how likely is he to be my husband? Also, I think he There is no need to come back to visit our mother and son once a month. Seeing him always makes me feel bad. I have been feeling nauseated recently, probably because I see him so often."
"You!" Cen Yunong's sharp words successfully aroused Gu Shaoqin's anger. He almost forgot what a powerful mouth this woman who looked like Xia Xinghai had!
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Cen Yunong sneered and approached Gu Shaoqin without any fear. He raised his head and stared at him coldly, "I study hard and make progress every day. I have a clear conscience and all roads lead to Rome! I
How about it, you don’t need to remind me, a person with a defective personality! As for you, I advise you to use Dabao morning and night. I see you have looked a lot haggard recently. I think Young Master Gu also defeated all the invincible opponents in the world with his beauty. Now
I really can't bear to see your little face look so haggard. At least you should dress up properly, otherwise, what if you meet Ruya, the one you miss so much, and she doesn't recognize you?"
"You!" Gu Shaoqin was really angry at Cen Yu, but at the moment he didn't know what to say to retort. He just looked at her coldly, sneered, and then walked away: "Hello, you are very good!
"
Cen Yunong sneered and stood there coldly, looking down at Gu Shaoqin's leaving back.
She just kept standing like this, until his figure completely disappeared at the end of the stairs, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around with a slightly depressed look.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Cen Yunong said apologetically, noticing that Lin Shiyin's face looked a little ugly.
"It's nothing." Lin Shiyin's dignified and noble face was a little gray at the moment, and her face suddenly looked ten years older. "You are right, you are not wrong. If you are wrong, it is his fault alone."
"Mom..." Cen Yunong was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Shiyin waving his hand, "I'm tired and I'm going to take a nap. You should also go to bed early."
"Yeah." Cen Yunong stood aside and watched Lin Xianyin slowly go downstairs.
The housekeeper walked out of the house and saw Lin Xianyin's appearance. She sighed softly, but finally said nothing. She just whispered to Cen Yunong: "Young madam, you are hungry. The kitchen has prepared some for you."
Let’s go down and eat dinner.”
"Hey." Cen Yunong followed the housekeeper downstairs and came to the restaurant, but seeing that she was alone there, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's dad? Why didn't you come back for dinner today?"
While serving the dishes, the housekeeper said, "The election is coming soon, and there are constant disputes among the forces in the city. In addition, a foreign monk has arrived. The master is very busy."
"A foreign monk?" Cen Yunong took a sip of milk porridge and frowned, "Is he called Gao Feng?"
"How does the young mistress know?" the housekeeper asked while serving her dishes.
"Oh, it's nothing." Cen Yunong quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, who made this milk porridge? It's sweet and quite delicious. But I want to eat something salty."
"Yes, there are salty things too." The sister-in-law brought over a plate of dishes and smiled, "These are pickled quail legs. They taste good and are tender."
"Well, let me try it." Cen Yunong was eating the quail legs while quickly recalling the appearance of Gaofeng in his mind.
In fact, Cen Yunong has always had a profound memory for beautiful men.
This peak was naturally a handsome man, even a handsome uncle, so Cen Yunong effortlessly recalled the part of him in his memory.
Strangely, what Cen Yunong remembered first was the priceless watch on his wrist. Under the dim lights of the imperial capital, it shone with a cold light. Just like his eyes, they looked
The smile, in fact, behind the smile is unfathomable indifference.
