2693 Chapter 2692-peaceful mind
“Wait a moment, I’ll get the Butler to prepare. That child must have left in a hurry and didn’t have time to bring snacks! I heard from her uncle that she likes to eat snacks the most out of the four sisters!” The country guarding Duke said as he turned around and asked someone to prepare food for Gu Xin.....
Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to wait for the defender Duke to get his men ready.
As for the country guarding Duke’s intention to treat Gu Xin well, Lu Zheng would not object. Anyway, it was useless even if he objected.
In her past life, the country guarding Duke had never harmed Gu Xin and he passed away not long after Gu Xin entered the capital.
He didn’t know if the country guarding Duke was still alive in his previous life, would he have treated Gu Xin the same way the Lin family did because of his status? but in this life, he could tell that the country guarding Duke liked Gu Xin from the bottom of his heart and was satisfied with her.
How should he put it?
This level of affection was not entirely because Gu Xin was the granddaughter of the Gu family, the princess of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu Zheng always felt that his father looked at Gu Xin as if she was his own daughter.
He was about the same age as his sister, Lu Xue. As far as he could remember, his sister was also young, so he remembered how his father had looked at his sister.
His son was an eyesore, but his sister was not. Therefore, his father was quite good to his sister.
There were many times when he saw the way his father looked at Gu Xin. It was really the same way his father looked at Lu Xue. He didn’t know why it was like this but he never asked. As long as his father didn’t affect him and Gu Xin, it was fine.
The country guarding Duke was afraid that Lu Zheng would not listen to him, so after instructing the Butler, he ran over to keep watch over Lu Zheng.
“Father, have you been in contact with uncle recently?” Lu Zheng rubbed his forehead and asked.
“Yes, I am. What, I can’t?” He blurted out with a very authentic uncle Gu accent.
Lu Zheng,”Yingluo.”
The country guarding Duke,”Huanhuan.”
Then, the father and son couldn’t help but laugh. As they laughed, they suddenly thought of something and immediately felt embarrassed again. They stopped smiling and looked at the sky and the earth.
big brother Gu is quite fun, ” the defender Duke said. I’ve always thought he was fun. Your mother and I even brought him and second brother Gu to mess around. Anyway, it’s second brother Gu who comes up with bad ideas every time. It’s definitely big brother Gu who gets scolded when he gets home. Big brother Gu hasn’t changed at all, but second brother Gu has changed a lot.”
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.
He didn’t expect his father to suddenly mention his mother. If it was in the past, he would definitely sneer at him or ignore him. Now, he was much calmer and only looked at his father quietly.
The country guarding Duke then remembered that his son didn’t like him to mention his deceased wife. He carefully observed Lu Zheng’s expression and saw that Lu Zheng’s expression didn’t change. He heaved a sigh of relief and continued,”At that time, big brother Gu didn’t want your mother to marry me. He even wanted to fight me one-on-one. Of course, I lost. After your mother found out, she gave me a good scolding. Then, she turned around and scolded big Gu and second Gu. He scolded old Gu for being stupid and going up alone. He scolded old Gu for being boring and not helping his brother. They were blood Brothers! In the end, I told them that I would give them a chance and that they could just come at me together. In the end, I was scolded by your mother again, and then she chased me and beat me up. At that time, big Gu and second Gu knew to hit me. Anyway, I was afraid of hurting your mother, so I didn’t dare to use too much force.”
