Chapter 1169: The Lady, Qiuqiu III
Qiuqiu listened carefully to Gu Yiyi’s words.
“Second Uncle is mine. I will be Nan Xian’s Second Aunt in the future… Unfortunately, there is no other eligible bachelor around Xiao Qing.”
Gu Yiyi frowned and sank into contemplation. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
“Sure enough, you could never be Xiao Qing’s lady. However, the old master has not taken a second wife. You could be Feng Ruqing’s grandmother! Nan Xian will address you as his grandmother! That is so awesome. Haha!”
“What is a ‘grandmother’?” Qiuqiu asked in bewilderment.
“A ‘grandmother’ is…”
“Gu Yiyi!” A depressing voice sounded behind Gu Yiyi.
Stunned, Gu Yiyi’s body stiffened. She turned her head around stiffly only to see Mu Qingyin was standing not far away.
“S-second Uncle…Did Xiao Qing and vixen not look for you just now? Why are you still here? Well, I have not just tried to get you a stepmother. I haven’t!” The corner of Gu Yiyi’s lips twitched.
“I heard everything that you have just said. Don’t put this lady into trouble. Don’t you know how old my father is? He is not even capable of going to bed with someone anymore. Do you want to ruin this lady’s life by telling her to marry my father?”
This lady looked so gullible and unworldly. She might believe in everything that Gu Yiyi said. If she really listened to Gu Yiyi, her entire life would be ruined.
“Second Uncle, don’t worry. I will tell the old master everything that you have just said.” Gu Yiyi broke into a bright smile. Her eyes were more dazzling than the starry sky.
“I am just telling the truth.” A faint smile plastered on Mu Qingyin’s cold and stunning face.
Qiuqiu had finally regained her senses. Her gaze swept past Gu Yiyi and was fixed upon Mu Qingyin. She seemed a little indignant.
“I am not a fool. I won’t trust her. I only trust my master.”
Qiuqiu would only trust one person in her life, just like the way she trusted the You family. Currently, she trusted no one but Feng Ruqing.
“Second Uncle, when are we leaving here? I used to think that my father was annoying back then, but after leaving home for more than a year, I miss him.” Suddenly, Gu Yiyi felt a little dejected.
Perhaps, it was true that children always found their parents annoying when they were around and would miss them badly when they were separated for a long while.
This was the first time Gu Yiyi had left home for such a long while.
Mu Qingyin’s eyes darkened.
“There is a place not far from Tian Yue Kingdom that might have connection with the world outside. However, I cannot break the barrier with my current strength. Let me discuss this with Nan Xian and the rest later. We will leave this place no matter what.”
Qiuqiu stared at Mu Qingyin and Gu Yiyi. She bit her lower lip a little, lowered her head, and did not say anything.
‘Master and the rest want to leave this place? Will Master leave me behind? Will I go back to square one and live on my own again?’
When one got used to being on her own, loneliness was not a big deal. However, having once had the feeling of warmth, being alone no longer held any appeal.
‘It would be so great if Feng Ruqing could stay here forever…’
Simply no one noticed that Qiuqiu’s face had changed. No one ever paid attention to her, let alone notice her pensive look
