Chapter 293(1/2)
Zhou Xiaomeng had a feeling in her heart that this encounter with Wang Qiang was just the beginning.
Perhaps, the news that she is still alive will soon be hidden.
But she didn't know why, but she didn't feel much panic in her heart. Instead, she felt a little expectant.
Perhaps, deep down in her heart, she no longer wants to live such a hidden life. She also wants to return to the sun and stay with the people she cares about.
But she knew it wasn't that easy to achieve.
With helplessness, she met Chu Qingmei.
Also with her was the little girl named Chu Duoer. When she saw this face that was very similar to the old man again, she was still in a trance.
Fortunately, she had already heard Qingmei mention that the regent had a daughter, but why didn't she ever tell her that this girl was so similar to her husband?
Of course, she is not blaming Qingmei. She can understand Qingmei, and she must be worried that she will be sad when she sees something.
"You, I recognize your clothes. Are you the masked man who saved us just now?"
Chu Duoer originally didn't pay much attention to Zhou Xiaomeng, but when his eyes fell on her, she suddenly remembered it.
Zhou Xiaomeng was startled for a moment, and before she could speak, she heard Chu Duoer talking to herself again.
"And your face, I remember seeing you somewhere."
"I saw you in the closet of my aunt's study. Your portrait, yes, it's this face, but the one in the portrait is dressed in women's clothing."
It was too late for Chu Qingmei to cover Chu Duo'er's mouth. She looked up at Zhou Xiaomeng with a slightly embarrassed expression, but Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes were still on Chu Duo'er, which made her feel relieved, but immediately
Feeling a little lost again.
"Oh, I understand, auntie, auntie, you deliberately painted her to look like a woman, right? In this way, even if she is discovered, no one will suspect it." Chu Duo'er developed his imagination and explained on his own,
While giving Chu Qingmei an expression of approval.
Chu Qingmei was a little helpless. She raised her hand and placed it on Chu Duo'er's forehead: "You little kid, why are you thinking so much?"
"My aunt is very thoughtful. No wonder she has never been willing to get married. It turns out that you have someone outside for a long time. Unfortunately, I was worried that my aunt didn't like men. I thought she was just like the two old girls from the Shi family."
"Ahem, Duo'er, aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will punish you?"
Chu Qingmei decided to use her trump card.
Sure enough, upon hearing the regent's name, the light in Chu Duo'er's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon she regained her vigor, holding Chu Qingmei's hand with a hint of prayer.
"Auntie, good auntie, just let me play outside for a while, and then I will tell my mother-in-law that she will take me out to collect my thoughts. Yes, Master has said that to write good articles, you can't just write behind closed doors."
"You, I really can't do anything about you."
Chu Qingmei still loves Chu Duoer very much. Besides, no one can bear the coquettishness of a beautiful doll.
What's more, Chu Duo'er was the only warmth he had experienced in the Regent's Palace in the past few years.
He loved her no less than the regent Chu Rong.
After comforting her aunt, Chu Duoer's eyes and attention were focused on Zhou Xiaomeng again. She didn't know why, but she liked this uncle very much. Well, she liked him very much. It was a weird, indescribable feeling.
She thought maybe it was because this uncle saved her today?
Thinking of the two little girls she met today, she was also very happy. Although she was studying in Taixue, she couldn't say much. They mostly laughed at her for being an illegitimate daughter, so she beat them up a lot.
People, but children all need friends. Even if she pretends not to care, there is still a little bit of loss somewhere in her heart.
She decided that she would be friends with those two little dolls from now on.
Of course, that's assuming they don't make fun of her life experience.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou Xiaomeng carefully and then spoke.
"You, you look very similar to the little girl today. Do you know each other? Did you show up today to save her?" Chu Duoer's soft and waxy voice seemed to have a burst of magic power, which made Zhou Xiaomeng
My heart feels warm.
She looked at this face that was very similar to her husband. Although she had guessed that she was Gu Tingzhi's child, she still couldn't help but want to get close to her.
Before Zhou Xiaomeng could answer, Chu Duoer was slightly unhappy and glared at her with a frown: "Hey, I'm talking to you, and you don't answer. It's very rude."
"Really? Do you think we look alike?"
Zhou Xiaomeng opened her mouth and found strangely that her voice was a little unstable.
"Well, it's very similar, just like me and that charming bitch..." Chu Duoer stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
Probably realizing that she almost made a mistake, she thought for a moment, looked around, and scolded the guards with a straight face: "Don't say that. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will beat you to death."
The guard bowed and shouted yes, and then Chu Duoer looked at Chu Qingmei and Zhou Xiaomeng again.
"I mean, you guys are really similar. It's strange. I didn't find so many similar-looking people in the world before. Recently, there are more and more people who look alike. Moreover, those who look alike may not be relatives. This
It’s really weird.”
Zhou Xiaomeng frowned when she looked at the tall and slender little baby, who seemed to have a million questions that she couldn't figure out. She was so adorable.
She and Qingmei found a quiet teahouse again, and decided to have a good cup of tea. After all, they were a little tired from the fight just now.
Chu Duoer could only follow the guards back home.
It's just that seeing Chu Duo'er like that makes me feel aggrieved.
Chu Qingmei didn't speak until the people walked away.
"She is my sister-in-law's daughter."
"I know."
Zhou Xiaomeng was startled for a moment and answered briefly.
"What I mean is that she is not Gu Tingzhi's daughter. On the contrary, she seems to hate Gu Tingzhi. She even went to quarrel and was punished by her sister several times. She just refused to change despite repeated admonitions. However, she has not been looking for trouble recently. Maybe she is afraid of being punished.
Punish me."
"She's not from Gu Tingzhi and the Prince Regent?" Zhou Xiaomeng was a little surprised. After she arrived in the capital, she knew the title of the Princess of the Prince Regent's Palace from many people. Although it was the first time she met her today, she had already thought about it a lot.
In addition, I heard from hearsay that the father was unknown, so I decided that it might be Gu Tingzhi.
Although she thought it might be impossible due to Gu Tingzhi's physical condition, she used to think that he wouldn't live long and would still be alive now, but she didn't expect that it was not the case.
He's not Gu Tingzhi, but he looks so much like him, right?
The hope for a moment was extinguished.
Even if her husband is alive, how could he possibly give birth to a child for someone else?
She really lost her head.
"I'm not very sure. I'm not very involved in my sister's affairs. I just vaguely heard that he was a person who looked very similar to Gu Tingzhi. Maybe my sister wanted to be with Gu Tingzhi but she couldn't get it. Later I met a very similar person.
Chu Duo'er is a human being, but a substitute is a substitute after all, so Chu Duo'er's father could not enter the house.
Don’t worry, I’ve investigated and found out that that person can’t be the doctor’s wife.”
Having said this, he paused and looked at her with some confusion.
"I will keep checking and I will definitely help you find someone, but don't be too sensitive. Maybe there are many similar people in the world."
As he spoke, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but suddenly retracted it.
Zhou Xiaomeng nodded. Over the years, only he knew what was on her mind, and only in front of him would she be unguarded.
She understood how he felt about her, but there was always a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie or let go of. She knew that if she couldn't find the whereabouts of the great husband, she probably wouldn't be able to live a good life in this life.
Sir, where are you?
Why, no news?
Chu Qingmei saw the flash of loneliness in her eyes. Although she pretended to be calm, her heart still throbbed uncontrollably.
Still can’t let go?
If you can't find it, can you really not live a good life?
Seeing her like this, he realized that all her forced smiles and nonchalant expressions over the years were just superficial calmness.
Whatever, then he will definitely help her find someone.
In fact, he has found some clues, but he can't tell her yet.
But if that's really the result, can she bear it?
Sir, you must live. Do you know that there is someone who is always worried about you?
After just drinking a pot of tea, someone came to report that there was something going on in the house and told Chu Qingmei to go back quickly. Seeing Chu Qingmei's bad expression, Zhou Xiaomeng swallowed the words as she spoke.
Although she felt very sorry for Qingmei, those things were family matters after all.
It's just that Qingmei looks like this, which really makes people feel distressed.
She really wanted to meet that crazy side husband.
What kind of father would force his son to dress up as a woman from an early age, and then force his son to marry a man?
After this meeting, she and Qingmei didn't see each other again for a while.
But she would still go to the teahouse to sit for a while after reading and writing storybooks.
To be continued...
