Chapter 481: Truth 245 (Second Update)_2 Chapter 481: Truth 245 (Second Update)_2 Prince Yu looked at the shoes in his wife’s hands: “You did a great job, he will like it, he’s an understanding child.”
“I an us!” Prince Yu’s wife glanced at him nervously, “We have not been by his side all these years, what if he doesn’t like us? What if he refuses to go back with us?”
Prince Yu took his wife’s hand, his eyes deep: “Don’t worry, we will definitely bring him back.”
Prince Yu’s wife cald her heart: “I want to build him a little courtyard… He’s still young, for now he can sleep with us, but he should also have his own courtyard, we can’t let people look down upon him… Can you postpone the construction of your sword training platform…”
Prince Yu’s wife kept on talking, her eyes full of longing for their life in Liang Country after taking their son back.
Prince Yu quietly watched her, occasionally responding to her.
Suddenly, a servant ca to report: “Your Highness, Your Highness’s wife, there is a person claiming to be Miss Gu outside.”
“Miss Gu? Is it Jingkong’s sister? Did you tell her about our identities?” The previous day, Prince Yu’s wife had fainted from excitent and regained consciousness to find herself back in their garden. She was well aware that Prince Yu must have had further discussions with Gu Jiao, as he had reassured her that everything was settled.
Prince Yu frowned slightly.
He had not revealed his identity.
About half an hour later, Gu Jiao appeared in the Flower Hall.
As Prince Yu looked at Gu Jiao, this ti his gaze contained a asure of scrutiny and examination.
He then realized that despite her damaged appearance, Gu Jiao did not show any signs of weakness. She was composed, dignified, and nothing like a lowly physician’s assistant.
Prince Yu’s wife was fond of Gu Jiao, so she greeted her with a smile: “Miss Gu, you’ve co so early. Haven’t you had your al yet? I’ll have so food brought in.”
“No need, I’ve already eaten.” Gu Jiao declined politely, “I ca here today because there’s sothing I need to discuss with you.”
She glanced at the couple, “You cannot take Jingkong away.”
Prince Yu’s wife was taken aback: “Why…? Is it because Jingkong doesn’t agree?”
Gu Jiao was straightforward: “He doesn’t agree, and neither do I.”
Prince Yu coldly said: “It’s not your place to make this decision, the Emperor of the Zhan Country will decide!”
Seeing the tensions rise between the two, Prince Yu’s wife quickly stepped in the middle. She berated Prince Yu: “Please mind your language!”, and then she said to Gu Jiao, “Miss Gu, please don’t be angry, it’s our fault for not giving you enough ti to prepare… If Jingkong doesn’t want to go, I can wait for him… I can stay in Capital City… Until he agrees, then I’ll bring him back… If you really can’t bear to part with Jingkong, if you’re willing, you’re always welco at Prince Yu’s residence. I will treat you as my own daughter…”
This was the greatest concession that Prince Yu’s wife could make.
She could wait, wait a day if her son did not agree, wait a year if her son did not agree.
But she would never give up.
Because he is her son, and she is a mother!
Gu Jiao paused for a mont, then said to Prince Yu’s wife: “You don’t need to wait.”
Prince Yu’s wife brightened: “You agree?”
Gu Jiao shook her head.
Anticipating what Gu Jiao was about to say, Prince Yu’s face changed drastically and he sternly warned: “Hold your tongue!”
Could Gu Jiao possibly be threatened by him?
Gu Jiao said to Prince Yu’s wife: “Jingkong is not your son, so, there is no need for you to wait.”
Prince Yu’s wife hurriedly shook her head: “No, he is my son! He is! Isn’t he four years old? Born in December? My son is too! Moreover… I liked him so much when I first saw him… so he cannot be not my son…”
Liking soone at first sight might simply be an instinct, or perhaps it was a projection of the inner heart.
Gu Jiao looked straight into Prince Yu’s wife’s eyes, not avoiding her gaze.
Prince Yu’s wife’s heart sank.
Prince Yu quickly stepped forward, blocking his wife from Gu Jiao’s sight.
He glared at Gu Jiao: “What nonsense are you talking about! He is the son of and my wife!”
“If he’s your son, then what is this?”
As she spoke, Gu Jiao pulled out sothing wrapped in an old swaddling cloth from her small bag.
Prince Yu’s face changed instantly.
His eyes, initially unfriendly, beca icily sharp. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he reached out to Gu Jiao, attempting to snatch the swaddling cloth.
But to his utter surprise, his swift attack missed! Gu Jiao, with remarkable agility, not only evaded Prince Yu’s attack, but positioned herself in front of Prince Yu’s wife: “Your Highness, you should be familiar with this swaddling cloth, right?”
