164 Her Daughter Was Beautiful, Sensible, and Highly Skilled in Medicine!
Gu Qingxue looked at the back of Madam Qiao, and then at Qiu Yan, who was not far away, “The imperial duke didn’t want to worry the Madam, but he didn’t expect that all of you could see it.”
Qiu Yan shook her head with reddened eyes, “None of the servants noticed that the imperial duke was not well, and thought that he had gone out for training. However, the Madam was always concerned about the imperial duke’s health, so she could naturally see that the person next to her was not well.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingxue could not help but sigh.
If they were not truly in love, the husband and wife would not have worked so hard for each other.
Even Imperial Duke Zhan endured the pain to heal his wounds, partly because he wanted to be with his wife for a longer time in the future.
She had never had such a loyal and unwavering relationship, nor did she have any extravagant hopes. However, when she saw this scene, she could not help but be moved.
Gu Qingxue turned around and walked into the room. She walked to Madam Qiao, who was sitting by the bed, and handed her a handkerchief. “Don’t worry, Madam. The imperial duke’s body can recover. He only needs time to recuperate. He will be fine.”
Madam Qiao’s face was full of tears. She took the handkerchief from Gu Qingxue’s hand. “Xue’er, thank you very much. If it weren’t for you, my husband might not have been able to recover.”
Madam Qiao had already gotten the truth from the attendant, so she naturally knew that Imperial Duke Zhan had seen many doctors before, and everyone said that he had no medicine to cure him.
“I only did what I could. Madam, the imperial duke was also afraid that you would be worried, so he deliberately hid it. He will have a hard time tonight, so please don’t blame him,” Gu Qingxue advised patiently.
It was rare for these two people to have such deep feelings for each other, so they could not be unhappy because they cared too much about each other.
Madam Qiao smiled helplessly, “How could I bear to do that?”
Madam Qiao was originally complaining that her husband was hiding something from her, but when she found out the truth, the dissatisfaction in her heart turned into heartache.
Hearing this, Gu Qingxue was touched, “It seems that I worry too much.”
“You weren’t overthinking it, but you were kind-hearted. Xue’er, I know you’re a good child, that’s why I wanted to take you in as my adopted daughter. Anyway, I’ve already decided that you’re my daughter. No matter how long it takes in the future, I’ll definitely let you see my sincerity,” Madam Qiao said firmly.
“Actually, I wanted to agree to Madam last time, but the imperial duke was unwilling,” Gu Qingxue said with an embarra.s.sed smile.
Madam Qiao liked her, and she also liked Madam Qiao.
Moreover, she had witnessed their deep love today, so she was even more touched.
Madam Qiao’s eyes lit up. “So, you agree to take me as your foster mother?”
Gu Qingxue was also delighted. “Yes, G.o.dmother, I’m willing.”
“Good child, I really didn’t love you for nothing.” Madam Qiao immediately pulled out an expensive suet jade hairpin from her hair and stuck it in Gu Qingxue’s hair. She said with a smile, “From today onwards, you are my daughter. Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet and introduce you to everyone in Jing City!”
She wanted to tell everyone that her daughter was beautiful, sensible, and skilled in medicine!
She also wanted to tell everyone that the imperial duke’s manor would be her daughter’s backer in the future. Anyone who dared to bully her daughter would first have to know their position!
Gu Qingxue held Madam Qiao’s hand and shook her head. “G.o.dmother, I don’t want to make such a big fuss. As long as our family members know about this, there’s no need to tell others.”
She agreed with Madam Qiao’s words not because she was greedy for power.
What she yearned for was a free life in the countryside. She agreed to Madam Qiao’s request because she was touched by their true feelings for each other, and she did not want to betray Madam Qiao’s true feelings for her.
