Chapter 935
935 Are you being hunted down?
On the sixth day of the Gu family’s arrival in the capital, other than the old couple and third aunt Gu, the rest of the family met the Empress Dowager by chance.
Today, Grandpa and Grandma Gu went to third aunt’s place to see how she was tidying up and whether the children had gotten used to it.
It was just the two of them. They didn’t bring their two daughters-in-law, nor did they bring their grandchildren.
The moment she stepped out, she saw an old lady standing outside.
The old lady looked at the two of them with a smile.
Grandpa Gu’s body stiffened.
Grandma Gu sensed his emotions and looked at the old lady in surprise.
Grandpa Gu trembled as he walked forward. He looked at the old lady who was a head shorter than him and had half a head of white hair. He opened his mouth but could not call out.
The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to touch his face,”My son is back!”
Tears streamed down grandfather Gu’s face as he knelt down.”Mother,”
He had called out for his mother, the Imperial mother he had called for ten years in his youth. Before the Li Palace, he had called out for his mother every night. At the time, all the Imperial physicians had said that he did not have many days left to live.
The Empress Dowager hugged his head,”my son is back!” My son has finally returned!”
Even if a mother and son had not seen each other for decades, they would still be able to recognize each other at a glance when they met again.
Just like when the Empress Dowager saw Gu shouxin, she firmly believed that he was her grandson because he looked so much like her son.
When grandfather Gu saw great emperor and great Empress Dowager, he didn’t need to ask. He could tell at a glance, because there would be no other old ladies in this world who would look at him with that kind of gaze. It was just like when he was young, when she smiled and encouraged him by his bed, he would definitely get better.
Tears welled up in grandma Gu’s eyes as well. Finally, there was one more person in this world who cared about her brother Chuan.
……
In the courtyard of the two elders, everyone had been chased out, leaving only the two elders and the Empress Dowager in the house.
“Lan lan, come, this is our mother. Mother, this is lan lan, the wife I married.” Grandfather Gu took grandmother Gu’s hand and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager.
This could also be considered as making up for the lack of respect between husband and wife during the marriage.
“Good, good child, quickly get up! I prepared this for my daughter-in-law back then. I thought I wouldn’t have the chance to give it to her, but now I’ve finally found a partner.” The Grand Empress Dowager held grandma Gu’s hand and put a chicken blood jade bangle on her.
Grandma Gu was not used to it. After her father’s death, no one had called her a good child for decades.
However, she did not reject the bracelet.
“You’ve worked hard all these years. Yi ‘er’s health isn’t good, and you’ve been taking care of him for decades.” The Empress Dowager patted grandma Gu’s hand.
“Big brother Chuan also takes care of me.” Grandma Gu had no experience with her mother-in-law, so she only said this in a low voice.
“Yes, you’re all good children. You’re all considerate and good children. I’m relieved to see you like this.” The Grand Empress Dowager liked grandma Gu very much, and she felt very regretful. If only she had found them when she was younger!
Unfortunately, at that time, she had sent people to search everywhere, but who knew that her son had changed his name and married into the family. Didn’t she miss it?
The three of them sat down to calm their minds before the Empress Dowager asked, ” “Yi ‘er, it’s been so many years. Why haven’t you thought of entering the capital?”
Grandpa Gu pursed his lips and didn’t want to say it. “Mother, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about the past, okay?”
The Grand Empress Dowager frowned, ” I can’t figure it out. Why can’t the guards I’ve assigned to you deal with the refugees? is it because someone is after your life? ” I’ve been looking for you.”
