"Eldest brother." On their way back, Gu Chengfeng suddenly spoke, "Have you met that girl before? You didn't ask who she was just now."
Although that girl had already visited the estate several times, she only went to Yao shi’s place, and never paid her respects to the Old Madame and them, three brothers.
He met her because of that incident with Gu Jinyu and Ling Shuxian breaking his eldest brother's porcelain vase. At that time, she accompanied Yao shi to his eldest brother’s courtyard to pick up Gu Jinyu.
But back then, his eldest brother was training his swordsmanship in the back hill.
When his eldest brother finally returned to his courtyard, that girl had already left the estate.
Was it really that time that the two of them knew each other? And he even made his enemy into a friend?
Today, he didn't feel the slightest rejection towards that girl from his eldest brother.
Gu Changqing stilled and said, "Yes."
Gu Chengfeng: "When?"
Gu Changqing: "Why are you asking about this? I haven't even asked you yet, how come you suddenly appear on the back hill with her? Were you two fighting?"
Gu Chengfeng cleared his throat and replied, "How could I fight with her? I’m at least the older brother, so how can I bully her?"
Gu Chengfeng: But if she’s not my sister at all, that’s another matter.
After that, the two brothers didn't speak again.
Gu Chengfeng's courtyard was relatively closer, so he arrived first.
A moment after crossing the threshold, he suddenly turned around and looked meaningfully at Gu Changqing,"Eldest brother, didn't you say before that we only have a younger brother and no younger sister."
Gu Changqing pupil constricted.
Gu Chengfeng flashed a cold smile, "Eldest brother, have you already forgotten how our mother died?"
Gu Changqing opened his mouth to say something but hesitated.
Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly and turned into the courtyard.
Gu Chenglin fell asleep on Gu Chengfeng's bed. Clearly, he got too bored waiting for the fruit to arrive and fell asleep.
Gu Chengfeng looked at him with a complicated look and went over to cover him with a quilt.
A moment later, the servant boy reported that Concubine Ling had come.
The First Madame left early and Concubine Ling had been the one taking care of the three brothers all these years. Gu Changqing was more independent and had often been at Old Marquis’s side growing up. Therefore, he wasn’t much closer to Concubine Ling compared to Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin.
Concubine Ling entered the room with a smile and a box in her hand.
When she saw Gu Chenglin on the bed, she said in surprise, "Oh, how come Lin’er is asleep?"
Gu Chengfeng invited her to take a seat at the table before answering, "It's so cold today, why has Aunt come to visit?"
Concubine Ling smiled softly and responded, "They roasted venison in the kitchen, so I came to send you some. By the way, you didn't look well the other day, are you missing your mother? The anniversary of my sister's death is coming; I was wondering when I can take you three brothers to her tomb so we can burn incense for my sister."
Gu Chengfeng nodded his head, "Everything is up to Aunt."
In fact, when Concubine Ling first entered the Marquis Estate, the three brothers rejected her. However, Concubine Ling told them, ‘I didn't enter the estate to replace my sister as your mother, but to look after you guys for my sister. From now on, I will treat you as my own flesh and blood. I won't give you any annoying younger brothers and sisters. I will only have three children in my life, and that is you guys."
Concubine Ling did just as she said.
All these years she had poured out her heart to the three of them, and had been more of a mother to them than their own mother.
It was just that because the position of mother in their hearts was already occupied, they couldn’t get themselves to treat Concubine Ling as their mother. However, because of this, they also felt guilty and thus wanted to make up for Concubine Ling from other aspects.
Gu Chengfeng once asked Concubine Ling: Do you want anything?
At that time, he thought that Concubine Ling would ask for the position of Madame as soon as she opened her mouth, and he would get it for her.
However, Concubine Ling shook her head, patted his head and said softly, ‘Aunt doesn't want anything. As long as the three of you are well, Aunt will be satisfied.’
Such a selfless and kind woman was much better than that poisonous woman, Yao shi.
Yao shi killed their mother, robbed their father, and gave birth to an annoying sister and brother with his father.
There were no more of them in the eyes of his father.
There was this saying that seemed to be right. Having a stepmother is also having a stepfather.
Whenever Gu Yan argued with them, whether it was their fault or not, his father would only punish the three of them.
His father was never willing to touch even a strand of Gu Yan's hair.
When his mother was still alive, she once said that she loved plum blossoms best.
His father thought it was troublesome so this statement went in one ear and out the other.
After Yao shi entered the estate, it only took her one look at the plum blossom for his father to specially make a plum blossom garden for her.
To Yao shi and her children, Gu Chengfeng was jealous and resentful.
However, his father didn’t seem to like Yao shi's own daughter, but rather loved Gu Jinyu, who had been raised around him since childhood.
This was really interesting.
"Feng’er, Feng’er!" Concubine Ling called out to him.
"Huh?" Gu Chengfeng regained his senses.
Concubine Ling smiled, "What do you think of what I just said?"
Gu Chengfeng said with a resolute tone, "Aunt always does things properly. Let’s just do as Aunt says."
Concubine Ling stood up and said in a warm voice, "Alright, then I'll have someone prepare the offerings."
This was a great opportunity to take back the right to manage the household, and she would certainly do it beautifully!Raz P.'s Thoughts
