Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Chapter 40: Doctor Gu is avoiding me

There were so many people around that He Shumin pulled Gu Qinghe to a small pavilion where no one was around before she spoke in a low voice, "I heard that Li Qiulian fell in love with General Shao, but General Shao loves Luo Feng. I guess she wanted to start with Luo Feng, but Luo Feng rejected her very much."

If it were just that, it would be fine, but she probably heard that Luo Feng was very dependent on Gu Qinghe, which made her feel a sense of crisis.

Shao Wei is good-looking, and there are many girls in Beijing who are attracted to him. However, almost all of them who show admiration for Shao Wei are targeted by Li Qiulian.

After the two of them talked for a few words, the fat woman who had just followed He Shumin also came over. This woman was the daughter-in-law of Censor Liu, her name was Yueqi.

Censor Liu and Prime Minister Li are notoriously at odds with each other, but Yueqi is a bit timid and fearful by nature, so naturally she doesn't dare to stand up for Gu Qinghe.

Gu Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, his own affairs had nothing to do with other people.

Yueqi came over, looking a little guilty.

He Shumin waved at her, "Come and sit down."

As soon as she came over, He Shumin immediately asked, "I remember you said last time that Li Qiulian was not the biological daughter of the Prime Minister's wife, right?"

Yueqi was startled and looked around hurriedly, "Keep your voice down!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she lowered her voice and said: "I also heard it from my mother, I don't know if it's true or not."

"I heard that the prime minister's wife was kidnapped by his enemies when she was pregnant. She gave birth to the child while fleeing. It is estimated that the child did not survive. Later, the prime minister sent people to look for it, but they only found the blood-stained clothes that wrapped the child. The child must have been taken away and eaten by a wolf."

"After the prime minister's wife found out, she became ill and attempted suicide several times. The doctors she asked for a check-up said it was a heart attack. Later, the prime minister found a child from somewhere and gave it to the prime minister's wife to raise. That child was Li Qiulian."

Yue Qi pouted as she spoke, "Li Qiulian is also very lucky. The Prime Minister's wife gave her the nickname Mingzhu, which shows how much the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion value her."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw that Gu Qinghe's expression looked a little strange.

"In which year was the Prime Minister's wife kidnapped?"

Yue Qi was not really sure, but she quickly said, "Li Qiulian is the same age as the daughter born to the Prime Minister's wife."

He Shumin suddenly looked at Gu Qinghe. She vaguely guessed what Gu Qinghe meant, but she felt that it should not be the case.

Because the place where the Prime Minister's wife was kidnapped was in Luocheng, not close to Liangtuo, and the place where Lu Zhiyao picked up Gu Qinghe was not far from Liangtuo.

Gu Qinghe obviously thought of this as well, he lowered his brows and said nothing.

"Why are you here? It's really hard to find."

This vigorous and carefree voice immediately made everyone in the pavilion look over. Mingxuan was sitting down next to Gu Qinghe, holding up the edge of her skirt.

She only heard that the eldest princess had also sent a message to Gu Qinghe, but she didn't know whether Gu Qinghe had come or not, so it was difficult for her to look for her after she got here.

Before she could find the person, she heard that Gu Qinghe was being bullied by Li Qiulian.

"What are you doing here? Those young masters are preparing for an archery competition. Let's go and take a look."

Gu Qinghe was about to refuse, but saw Mingxuan winking at her.

She didn't quite understand what Mingxuan meant, and said thoughtfully: "Let's go and take a look?"

He Shumin glanced at Mingxuan from front to back and asked, "Have you recovered?"

"Nonsense, do you think that a minor illness like yours requires you to stay in bed for half a year?" The two of them grew up bickering with each other.

He Shumin was not angry after hearing this. Instead, she circled around Mingxuan and said, "You know what, you've changed a lot now."

After taking the medicine prescribed by Gu Qinghe, Mingxuan lost a lot of weight. Her originally beautiful facial features gradually became more prominent, but the miscarriage incident made her almost unrecognizable.

But Mingxuan was a person who could let go of things easily. She was reluctant to separate from Zhao Wang because she cared about the relationship between them. In addition, she was confused by the situation and always felt that she and Zhao Wang were very much in love, and their problem was because she couldn't get pregnant, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Wang.

She even tolerated the ridicule and sarcasm of the Zhao family and forced herself to accept Zhao Wang's concubine and the birth of a child, and she endured it again and again.

If this miscarriage had not made her see Zhao Wang clearly, she would have been stuck in that quagmire.

She has been recuperating in the Ming family these days. She is doted on by the Ming family and served with delicious food and drink every day. Her cheeks have become more fleshy again. Coupled with the thoroughness she has gained after experiencing life and death, she seems to have been revived.

That kind of bold and unrestrained feeling returned to her, and it was very dazzling and eye-catching.

There was an acquaintance behind Yueqi, so she went to say hello. As soon as she left, Mingxuan immediately winked at Gu Qinghe and asked, "Did Li Qiulian bully you just now?"

Without Gu Qinghe saying anything, He Shumin was already indignant, and directly imitated Li Qiulian's sarcastic expression just now, "I'm so pissed off."

"She's in the front hall now. I heard that those young masters are going to compete in archery. General Shao is probably there too. Let's go over there too."

Everyone else is concerned about Li Qiulian's identity, but Mingxuan is not afraid.

The Ming family has been in business for generations. Although they have no connections in the officialdom, no one dares to look down on the Ming family. In addition, Mingxuan's aunt is in the palace and is deeply favored by His Majesty, so no one dares to look down on her.

I heard that Zhao Wang angered the emperor for some reason the day before yesterday and was beaten with twenty sticks.

How could a mere tutor like him offend the emperor? It was simply Mingxuan's aunt who whispered in his ear and wanted to vent her niece's anger.

Gu Qinghe had no way of refusing and was dragged by the two men to the front hall. There were quite a lot of people in the front hall and as soon as she arrived, she met eyes with Wei Yanzhou who was standing next to them.

This man was shameless. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Gu Qinghe. He seemed to realize that Gu Qinghe was avoiding him, so he walked straight over and asked, "Doctor Gu, are you avoiding me?"

Gu Qinghe curled his lips, "How could it be."

"That's true. When I think about it carefully, it seems that I haven't offended Doctor Gu."

Wei Yanzhou smiled charmingly, followed Gu Qinghe's gaze and looked over at a group of young men over there. He waved his fan and asked, "Doctor Gu is interested in archery?"

"No."

She just thought that Shao Wei's archery skills should be the best among these people, no wonder he said this kind of occasion was so boring.

His archery skills should have been used on the battlefield, not here to listen to the surprised shouts of the young ladies.

Wei Yanzhou glanced at her, then looked at Ming Xuan, whose eyes were almost popping out of her head, and grinned, "Miss Ming, is your eye twitching?"

Mingxuan rubbed her eyes and said, "The wind is too strong and my eyes are sore."

"Is that so? I thought Miss Ming had something against me." He continued to invite Gu Qinghe with a smile, "They are painting over there. Doctor Gu, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Before Gu Qinghe could say anything, Mingxuan saw from afar Li Qiulian sitting in the pavilion watching the men shooting arrows.

His eyes lit up immediately, "There, there."

After saying that, she dragged Gu Qinghe somewhere and He Shumin smiled awkwardly behind them to smooth things over. Fortunately, Wei Yanzhou was not angry. Instead, he followed them slowly.
