The queen's wife is too sultry

When Gu Zheng returned home, the magnificent mansion did not bring him warmth and satisfaction like ordinary people, but only the cold light reflected by the luxurious crystal chandeliers.

The servants at home stood there holding their breath, their expressions uniformly docile and obedient.

The housekeeper took the luggage from his hands, and without waiting for Gu Zheng to ask, he respectfully said: "Madam is on the balcony on the second floor, young master, can you go and see her?"

Gu Zheng remembered the dark night, and asked in a low voice, "Has she had dinner yet?"

The butler shook his head.

"Make a pasta and deliver it later."

"Yes, sir."

The butler watched Gu Zheng go to the elevator, and then went to tell the servants in the kitchen.

The layout of the second floor of the mansion is quite special. Catherine's most beloved wine cellar occupies two-thirds of the area. She always lives in seclusion on weekdays, and that is where she stays the longest.

Walking through the marble steps, the complicated lamps emit cold light, and the fuchsia carpet stretches to the end of the corridor. Everything that can be seen along the way, whether it is murals or trapezoidal shutters, are all typical classics. European style, luxurious yet elegant, flamboyant yet noble.

The door made of crystal glass is like a dream, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world, passing through the cold marble corridor, in the elegant and simple soft light, the glass cabinets made of mahogany on both sides are the ultimate luxury, neatly arranged Thousands of priceless red wines are placed. Under the illumination of the lights, these red wines quietly reflect the luxurious and enchanting light. The rich aroma of wine permeates the air, tempting people to taste it.

Catherine's wine cellar was two meters deep, and she had to step down the steps. The lights in the wine cellar were bright, illuminating a dazzling array of wine.

Without squinting, Gu Zheng walked through the room full of wine, all the way to the terrace.

The door of the terrace is not closed, the circular arched windows and the corner stone masonry are full of elegance and luxury. A polished mirror-like stone table surrounds two crimson sofas. The air was mixed with the aroma of wine, and the gauze curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were blown, and the gauze curtains danced in the air, brushing against Gu Zheng's cheeks, as if sending a quiet and soft kiss.

Gu Zheng stood still at the door. There was a woman lying sideways on the elegant sofa. She had long blond hair and was wearing a black gauze skirt. A blanket was draped around her waist, which could not cover her fair and graceful beauty. upper body.

With her eyes closed, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. On a small table on her right was a crystal goblet and a bottle of red wine.

Gu Zheng recalled what the butler said just now, that Madam has been alone on the terrace since the morning, and never came down until evening.

No one dared to go up and disturb her, so she just lay alone for a whole day, with only the red wine in hand to accompany her.

Xu Shi sensed that someone was coming, Catherine frowned uncomfortably, and murmured indistinctly.

Gu Zheng walked to her side, knelt down, covered her with the blanket, and called softly, "Mother, I'm back!"

After a while, Catherine slowly opened her eyes, the light blue eyes were exactly the same as Gu Zhe's, like a blue ocean.

The only difference is that the former is a gentle and calm shallow sea, while the latter is more like a cold and silent deep sea, where few things can cause waves.

"When did you come back?"

Seeing him, Catherine didn't have much surprise or surprise in her eyes. She got up, and her blond hair, which was as smooth as satin, was pushed to the other side.

Years of undefeated beauty, even though she is close to fifty, her exquisite and beautiful face is still like Vienna, the god of love in Greek mythology, which makes people dare not look directly at her.

"Half an hour ago."

Catherine draped the blanket over her body, sat with her legs bent, and leaned lazily on the sofa, pointing to the red wine beside her with her chin:

"Romanee-Conti, it was flown in yesterday, try it?"

Gu Zheng sat on the sofa opposite her, glanced at the remaining red wine on the middle line, and said calmly: "Mother, the housekeeper said you haven't eaten all day."

"Drinking too much red wine will hurt your health, you should pay more attention."

Catherine smiled indifferently, and didn't listen to the old-fashioned words. She picked up the goblet and sipped the red wine, and said casually, "Have you met your father?"

"not yet."

Catherine shook the red wine in her hand, smiled lightly and said, "It seems that in your heart, my status is higher than your father's."

There was a knock on the door, and the butler brought Catherine's dinner.

Gu Zheng took the red wine from her hand, "You haven't had dinner yet."

"William, it's been a long time since anyone cared whether I had dinner or not."

"Where's Lily?"
Catherine looked at the delicious dinner on the table, and was unmoved. She said lightly, "I think she's annoying. She had a fight with your father the day before yesterday, and she ran out to live by herself."

Gu Zheng was silent for a while, then said softly: "Mother, do you not want me to come back?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows, "Why do you say that? You are my son. How can any mother not want her son to come back?"

Gu Zheng pursed his lips, his light blue eyes remained silent.

Gu Zhe seldom came home. Gu Zheng knew clearly that his parents' marriage had been on the verge of disintegration since many years ago, and this family was getting colder and quieter.

He inherited Catherine's eye color and Gu Zhe's appearance, while Gu Love was the complete opposite.

Catherine got up, walked in front of Gu Zheng, raised Gu Zheng's chin, looked at his handsome face, and suddenly smiled: "Do you have something on your mind?"

"William, you have always been more sensible than your sister, but you are all my children, and I will not favor any one of you. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."

"Or tell your father, it's the same."

Catherine leaned over, kissed him lightly on the cheek, then turned and left the terrace.

Gu Zheng was startled, his gaze fell on the unmoving dinner on the table, he pursed his lips, and followed Catherine.

"It will be Lily's birthday in a few days. She always cares about saving face. It just so happens that you are back, go and coax her, and then hold her a beautiful birthday party."

Catherine was draped in a blanket, with a lazy and indifferent expression, her blue eyes reflecting the cold light of the glass drunkard. She paced in her wine cellar, seeming to be admiring and choosing.

"Arthur called me today and told me that he had the most votes in the election. If there is no accident, he should be able to be re-elected. You can help me choose a bottle of wine, and I will send someone to deliver it to him."

As a red wine lover, Catherine had all the wines in the wine cellar that were priceless, and some of them couldn't be bought even if she had money. She couldn't find fault with giving red wine as a gift to Arthur.

Gu Zheng didn't seem to hear her words, his eyes followed her figure all the time, and after a while, he said:

"Mom, I came back this time to ask you something."
