Chapter 92 Reunion of Father and Daughter
After dinner, Qiaoyu accompanied Zhu Gaoshou to taste tea in the study. Rongjing reported outside the door, "The prince, the little master, the Duke of Guizhou has arrived and is already in the front hall."
Qiao Yu put down the teacup excitedly, stood up, and looked at Zhu Gaosuo happily. Zhu Gaosui put down the teacup with a smile and said to Rongjing, "Go over and reply first, and say that we will be there soon."
"Yes, my lord!"
"Brother Sui, I..." Qiaoyu was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Zhu Gaoshuai took Qiaoyu's hand and comforted her, "Yuer, let's go to the front hall now."
"Brother Sui, I want to go back and change my clothes before I see my father."
"Good! I'll go there first. Don't worry. Let's wait for you in the lobby." After saying that, Zhu Gaosumi took Qiaoyu's hand and walked out of the study and left separately.
Qiaoyu returned to the room, asked Xianglian to help her change her light blue dress, took off the gold chain on her neck, put it in a big red brocade box with the jade pendant, put it in her sleeve, and hurried to the front hall accompanied by Fuhai.
Yahuan Xianglian was brought by Haoxuan from Zhenjiang a few months ago. Huize thought that the lily was also big. When he got married in the future, Qiaoyu lacked a satisfactory maid, so he asked Haoxuan to bring his favorite Xianglian to Qiaoyu. Coincidentally, Qiaoyu To Enze told Haoxuan to bring the lily back to Zhenjiang. By mid-September, Qiaoyu returned to the other courtyard, and Xianglian was already familiar with everything. Qiaoyu is very grateful to Hui Ze's sister's consideration, so she is particularly good to Xianglian.
The front hall was brightly lit, and Qiaoyu heard her father talking and laughing with Zhu Gaosui behind the screen.
"Gao Sui, now you have Yuer. Our relationship is also very different. What will you call me in the future?
"Brother Sheng, what's so difficult about this?"
"How to say this?"
"Forwardly, you are still the Duke of Guizhou, my brother of the opposite sex, and the brother of my concubine. Yes, you are my father-in-law." Zhu Gaosugi stood up from the chair and respectfully bowed to Mu Sheng, "My father-in-law is on the top, I will be worshipped by my son-in-law!"
Mu Sheng looked at Zhu Gaoshui and finally couldn't help laughing. The arrogant cold-faced prince also has such a time! Hahaha! It seems that my Yuer has subdued you! Hahaha!"
Zhu Gaoshui sat back in the chair and said carelessly, "Brother Sheng, you can make fun of me!" What else can't I bear to get Yuer!?"
When Mu Sheng heard Zhu Gaosui say this, he smiled and said seriously, "Gao Sui, I separated from their mother and daughter when Yuer was six years old, and I haven't taken care of them for more than ten years. Please take good care of Yuer for me in the future. After saying that, Mu Sheng stood up and saluted Zhu Gaosugi deeply.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaosuo quickly stood up and saluted respectfully. Brother Sheng, you don't have to do this! Please rest assured that Yuer is my heart and will take good care of her.
"That's good! That's good!"
Qiao Yu wiped her tears before turning the screen and bowing her head and daring to look at people.
Mu Sheng walked over and stood in front of Qiao Yu. His voice trembled and shouted, "Yu'er!"
Hearing the call, Qiao Yu slowly raised her head, and the tears in her eyes fell down. He knelt on his knees and cried, "Father!" Mu Sheng walked over crying, holding Qiao Yu with both hands, and the two looked at each other sadly.
The father is old, and the wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes are faintly visible, but the brilliance in his eyes is still there. It should be because he has been in the army for many years. My father's figure has not yet been fat, and he is still straight and strong, just like in my memory.
"Brother Sheng, I have something else to do, and Yu'er will accompany you. With all due respect, I'll leave first!" Zhu Gaoshuai saluted with a smile and turned the screen to the back.
There were only two father and daughter left in the front hall. Mu Sheng said excitedly, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Yuer has grown up now and is more beautiful than your mother at that time."
Qiao Yu asked Mu Sheng to sit on the upper chair, knelt on his knees, respectfully kowtowed three heads to Mu Sheng, took out the brocade box from his sleeve, handed it over with both hands, and looked at Mu Sheng with tears in his eyes, "Father, my mother is no longer there."
Mu Sheng took the brocade box, opened it, took out the gold chain inside tremblingly, looked at the jade pendant hanging on it, and thought of the days when he got along with Qiaoyu's mother and daughter. With tears on his face, he put the chain back into the brocade box and handed it back to Qiaoyu. Yuer, I gave this chain to your mother when you were born. Now that she is gone, you should take care of her. When Hui Niang left, I asked the emperor to go to Zhenjiang, but I couldn't make it because of the busy military affairs.
"If my mother knows under the spring and understands your heart, she will also smile."
"Yuer, you owe too much to your mother and daughter for your father. Have you ever resented your father?
Qiaoyu smiled and shook her head, "Father, mother only misses and worries you, and so does Yuer. We know that you have too much helplessness and involuntarily.
"Yuer," Mu Sheng said excitedly, "I did something for my father to hurt your mother. I thought that one day, I would explain it to Hui Niang. Now I have to tell you."
"Father, please tell me!"
"In those years, in order to protect your mother and daughter, I added abortion medicine to your mother's tea after your mother became pregnant again." When Qiao Yu heard this, she looked at Mu Sheng in surprise. Yuer, you should understand that if you have a younger brother, I will give your mother a name. You must still remember the aggeration of Princess Nankang. She will not tolerate that your mother has children, and she will be killed. Yuer, the fight in the emperor's family has always been cruel and ruthless. Can you understand?"
Qiao Yu bowed her head and was silent. She understood that it was her father's helpless choice, but she still couldn't accept it emotionally. It turns out that what the old fairy said is indeed true.
Mu Sheng saw Qiaoyu's silence and said faintly, "When I left home, if I could expect that part for my father, it would be more than ten years. From then on, I would not leave anyway. Even if we will be desperate, at least our family can be together. This is the greatest regret for my father in this life!"
"Father!" Qiao Yu threw herself into Mu Sheng's arms excitedly.
