Chapter 307: Recognizing Relatives II

Gu Qingli took the box, which was indeed heavy, and motioned for Wuqing to take it. After Wuqing placed it with the box Old Master Gu had given earlier, she stood watch. These were all her young miss’s belongings, so she had to guard them well.

Next was Gu Qingping, who directly handed over a bank note for 100,000 taels of silver.

"I’m just a boorish man, Sister. I hope you won’t mind that it’s not much."

"Of course not. Thank you, Big Brother," Gu Qingli accepted with a beaming smile.

Down at the banquet, when the Gu Family’s concubine-born children saw Gu Qingli receive so many fine things, every one of them clenched their teeth in jealousy. Being a legitimate daughter truly makes a difference! We all grew up in the Gu Family, but we never received so many wonderful items.hereal temperament, not at all like maids from an ordinary family.

Their hearts sank. Looking at our own daughters, their appearance is inferior even to her servant girls!

"AHEM..." Third Aunt Ms. Wu feigned a couple of coughs. She retracted her gaze, looked at Gu Qingli, and said, "I didn’t expect Li’er to have blossomed so beautifully, and even your maids are such budding beauties. Third Aunt had thought you were suffering in the countryside. It’s good that you’re back now. Our family’s Qingshuang has gained another older sister."

Gu Qingli didn’t respond. She lightly tapped her fingers on the table and simply smiled at them.

Another sister? They’re already setting their sights on Xiao Yunjing so quickly. Unfortunately for them, they’re bound to be disappointed. In the future, they’ll have to keep calling him ’brother-in-law.’

Ms. Wu, having been snubbed, found herself at a loss for words. She picked up a pastry from the table and took a bite. As the pastry melted in her mouth, her eyes lit up. "This pastry is delicious! Li’er, where in Capital City can one buy such tasty pastries?"

Gu Qingli replied indifferently, "I made them myself."

These were all made by Wuyou’s hands, and products from the Space—how could they not be delicious? Wuyou was getting restless in the Space, so she started making pastries in there.

"Oh, Li’er, and your triplets? Why haven’t we seen them?"

As she spoke, Ms. Wu glanced around, clearly running out of things to say, and thus thought of Gu Qingli’s triplets.

Gu Qingli pointed to the bedroom and whispered, "They’re all sleeping. The nurses are watching them."

"Oh, Li’er, you are truly blessed, having triplets all at once, and all boys too! It’s a pity they’re asleep and we can’t see them. Otherwise, we could all bask in their good fortune."

Gu Qingli was displeased by these words. An adult wanting to bask in a child’s good fortune? Isn’t that wishing for my sons to have bad luck in the future? Besides, it was *she* who gave birth to these three boys; it wasn’t as if some insignificant child gave birth to *her*! If anyone is to bask in good fortune, it should be from her. How did it get twisted to the children? Moreover, is good fortune something that can be casually shared with just anyone?

Gu Qingli had absolutely no favorable impression of this Third Aunt. She’s a fool.

She glanced at Ms. Qian. Second Aunt Qian was watching their conversation with composure, an occasional smile on her face, but she hadn’t uttered a single word.

Comparing the two, Gu Qingli had a good idea: Ms. Wu’s rambling was likely instigated by Ms. Qian. No doubt, they’re here to probe for information.

Gu Qingli looked back at Wuqing.

Wuqing had long disliked the Second Madam and Third Madam. Without Gu Qingli’s signal, she couldn’t very well leave to fetch Madam Su. Now that her young miss had signaled her, Wuqing immediately understood and nodded, heading out of the courtyard.

Gu Qingli had indeed sent Wuqing to invite Ms. Su. These people were here spouting nonsense, which annoyed her greatly, but it wasn’t proper for her to openly ask them to leave.

Before long, Ms. Su arrived. Upon entering and seeing Ms. Qian and Ms. Wu, her expression changed. "Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, you two certainly are idle. Father and Mother were just looking for you outside, and yet you’re here at Li’er’s place."
