24, the twenty-fourth chapter of the only daughter recruited
In the main room in the front yard, before Chu Yunli stepped in, he saw a young woman standing at the door admiring the scenery. From behind, her figure was somewhat similar to Shen Qiuyan, but the difference was that this woman was wearing light-colored clothes. She wore a yellow dress with a dancing butterfly on her head. As she turned around, the butterfly danced, making her look even more delicate.
The woman turned around and saw that it was her, and her face suddenly burst into joy, "Doctor."
Chu Yunli stepped forward and looked inside the room, where Gu Yan was chatting with Zhou's father with a smile on his face.
Beside her, Shen Shenyan had already explained with a smile, "Doctor, my father brought me here today specifically to say thank you. Originally, my mother was also coming, but her leg was injured and she couldn't get out of bed for the time being. When she gets better, she will definitely come. Come to the door in person to say thank you. If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have found us.”
Chu Yunli was full of curiosity, "Is Mr. Gu really your father?"
Shen Shenyan smiled and nodded, "My mother has said since I was a child that my father's surname is Gu, and he is the second son of Weininghou Mansion in Beijing. The reason why he did not accompany our mother and daughter is because he has something to do when he returns to Beijing, and he will definitely come back to find him. Ours. I still believed it when I was a child. Later, life became more and more difficult for my mother and I, and we could only make ends meet by starching and washing clothes for others. I no longer believed it. If my father is really a prince of the Hou family, then I am also a prince. I'm a girl, so why do I wash my clothes... Later, when I got older, I became more sensible. I thought my father might be a liar, otherwise why didn't he come to us mother and daughter for so many years?" She said with joy on her face, "I didn't expect my mother. You really didn’t lie to me, my father really still remembers us, and when he saw my mother that day, he couldn’t help but cry."
Chu Yunli's eyes fell on the yard. There were two large boxes there, which looked new.
Seeing this, Shen Shenyan smiled and said, "My father heard that I owe you medicine fees. These are considered as a thank you gift."
Chu Yunli's eyes fell on the woman in front of him. The joy in her eyebrows did not seem to be fake. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." Shen Shenyan smiled, "Also, my father asked a doctor to examine my mother's injury. The doctor said that you treated her very well and the prescriptions were good. My father said that you are our family member. My benefactor, I will have to rely on you for my mother's injuries in the future." At this point, she smiled teasingly, winked and said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't default on the medicine this time."
Chu Yunli had nothing to say. Although she was curious about whether Shen Shenyan knew about the existence of Shen Qiuyan over there, she looked at her happy face and didn't ask.
In any case, as long as Gu Yan recognizes her, it should be a big blow to Shen Qiuyan.
Just as he was thinking this, the housekeeper hurried in from outside. He originally wanted to go straight into the house, but when he saw Chu Yunli at the door, he stopped and said with a salute, "Miss, Miss Shen is here outside and insists on coming in to see Mr. Gu. "
According to Chu Yunli's wishes, Shen Qiuyan was not allowed to come in from now on. However, they were looking for someone, mainly because they were officials. It was difficult to turn people away. He immediately said, "Go in." Ask Mr. Gu." Whether you see him or not is his business. Besides, with Gu Yan here, there is no need to worry about Shen Qiuyan going crazy.
The butler bowed again, hurried in, and then quickly went out to the door.
Because the rented yard was not big, a few moments later, the housekeeper already led Shen Qiuyan, who was dressed in plain clothes, in a hurry, to come in.
When Shen Shenyan saw the girl coming in, his eyes focused on her face, and he was a little confused, "Is her surname also Shen? What a coincidence!"
There is something even more coincidental.
Seeing her confused face, Chu Yunli asked tentatively, "Do you think she looks similar to you? When I first met you, I almost thought you were her."
Shen Shenyan touched her face, remembering that Chu Yunli had just asked the housekeeper to ask Gu Yan if he had seen the girl. His face changed slightly and he asked eagerly, "She is looking for my father? Do you know what the relationship between her and my father is?"
Chu Yunli: "...Well, it is said that she is Mr. Gu's lost daughter, and her mother's surname is also Shen."
Shen Shenyan's eyes widened slightly with surprise on his face as he watched Shen Qiuyan enter the door.
Gu Yan in the room frowned slightly when he saw Shen Qiuyan still dressed in plain clothes. In fact, the daughter's family in the capital usually likes to dress in a flamboyant way, and there are not many people who are so plain. At a glance, others thought he was Gu Yan was reluctant to spend money on his daughter. However, he would not say this in front of Zhou's father. He planned to give some advice to the mother next to Shen Qiuyan when he returned. "Yan'er, what are you doing here? ?”
Shen Qiuyan didn't care about anything else and just asked, "Dad, I heard that you brought two women into the inn?"
In fact, she wasn't such an eager and straightforward person before. This incident had such a huge impact on her that she just chased her regardless.
Gu Yan nodded, "They are my family members, and they are also your family."
family?
Shen Qiuyan had already heard about the situation at that time. No one would believe that Gu Yan had nothing to do with the woman. She had already made assumptions in her heart, but no matter how prepared she was, Gu Yan's direct admission had a huge impact on her. Not as big as usual, her mind suddenly went blank, with a confused look on her face, she murmured, "Didn't you say that you and my mother were in love back then? Where did they come from?"
Not only Chu Yunli, but also Father Zhou over there is actually quite curious about this matter.
Gu Yan's expression was not good-looking, "These are elder matters and have nothing to do with you. Just remember that you are my daughter, and I will take you back to Beijing in the future..."
Shen Qiuyan's face was pale and her body was shaky. She vaguely guessed the truth. You must know that the woman in her thirties was still alive, and Gu Yan would never admit the wrong person. She did not dare to say anything at the moment. She never wanted to go back to Sannan Village. Wu's mother cursed her and took advantage of her.
She stopped asking questions, but Shen Shenyan couldn't accept it. She walked in the door and looked Shen Qiuyan up and down, feeling more and more similar to herself, "Dad, who is she? Why are you and my mother so happy that you are still in love?" Have a daughter as old as me?"
Gu Yan was speechless.
Zhou's father coughed slightly and picked up the teacup to drink tea. Chu Yunli stood at the door. Although he tried not to look at Gu Yan, his ears were raised.
After a long while, Gu Yan said, "I was really in love with your mother back then, and I planned to report to the elders in my family that I would come to ask for my hand in marriage after I returned to Beijing."
Shen Qiuyan lowered her head. She didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, but after hearing this she couldn't help but said, "You said it was my mother who proposed to marry you."
"It's not your mother." Gu Yan looked at her and said seriously, "When Yun Niang and I were in love, we couldn't help but... ahem... make an appointment to be together. But I don't know when Yun Niang's sister also fell in love with her. When she pleased me and expressed her feelings to me, I had already made a life-long commitment to Yun Niang, and promised that when I returned to Beijing, I would tell my father that someone would come to propose marriage. I immediately rejected her, but I didn’t expect that she would plot against me, and she would wear the same clothes as me. Yun Niang's similar clothes appeared at the place we agreed on. The room was dark and I was drunk...that's how I got you."
"These things are not glorious to talk about, but since you ask, I will naturally make it clear that yesterday's events are gone and your mother is no longer here, but you are indeed my daughter and I will take care of you. I know very well, The one I want to marry from the beginning to the end is Yun Niang."
Zhou's father opened his mouth slightly in surprise. After hearing this, he quickly closed it and lowered his head to drink tea. Chu Yunli just felt thunder rolling from the sky. This kind of thing... If you take care of Yan, it would be easy for the two sisters to fall in love with the same person. occurring.
The most unacceptable thing is probably the two girls who look alike in front of me.
Shen Sheng's eyes were red due to the smoke, "Why? Then aren't you and my mother being plotted by the villain in vain?"
Shen Qiuyan couldn't hear this. Originally, she was the daughter Gu Yan had worked so hard to find, but now she became the daughter they didn't want. She thought that if she wanted to live a good life in the future, she would have to look at other people's faces. Waiting for someone to give alms, and then hearing Shen Shenyan's words, he immediately said angrily, "Then my mother took the blame for your mother. My mother was killed by people from the Hou Mansion. If she hadn't died, how would the Hou Mansion have done it?" Let you be at ease?"
"We, mother and daughter, are kind to you, even my mother lost her life!"
