Chapter 136 - 136 I Miss You
136 I Miss You
Gu Qingxue closed her eyes. She heard Gu Lin exhorting her worriedly.
“Mother, you mustn’t peek. Dumby, Lingbao, hurry up.” As Gu Lin spoke, he ran over with Dumby and Lingbao.
Gu Qingxue sensed the auras of the three children. They stood in front of her together and put a fragrant ring around her neck.
“Mother, you can open your eyes now!” The three children said in unison.
Gu Qingxue opened her eyes and saw the garland of flowers that the three children had put around her neck.
The garland was made of flowers. At first glance, the flowers were so beautiful that it was unbelievable.
Gu Qingxue was pleasantly surprised. She could not believe her eyes. “Where did you get so many flowers at this time of the year?”
“There’s a hot spring in the hot spring villa. The flowers are in full bloom because the temperature is suitable. The Master of the manor saw that the three children were cute, so he allowed them to pick flowers and make garlands for you,” Lan Wen explained with a smile.
“Mother, do you like the gifts we gave you?” Lingbao asked expectantly on behalf of her brothers.
Gu Qingxue felt extremely soft inside. She hugged the children one by one and kissed them. “I like them. I really like them.”
“Hehe, if mother likes it, we can go to the villa next time to play. We can make more beautiful garlands for mother then,” said Dumby with a smile.
Gu Lin saw the joy on Dumby’s face and could not help but sigh, “I finally see second brother smiling. Mother, you have no idea how much second brother misses you. He has been crying ever since we arrived at the villa.”
“That’s right. I’m the youngest. I haven’t even cried yet. Second brother, you’re a Little crybaby!” Lingbao covered his mouth and snickered.
Dumby’s face instantly flushed red with shame. Even the little goofy hair on its head seemed to stand on end, “You guys are so annoying. We agreed not to tell mother about this!”
“Dumby, you’re the older brother. Why are you still crying?” Gu Qingxue reached out and scratched Dumby’s nose.
Dumby raised his chubby little hand to cover his red face and mumbled, “Mother, I miss you.”
“I miss you too, mother. Let’s go see great-grandmother together, shall we?” Lingbao hugged Gu Qingxue’s neck, acting coquettishly in her baby voice.
“Okay, let’s go find your great-grandmother and have dinner together.” Gu Qingxue had not seen the Old Madam for two days, so she didn’t know how she was doing.
Gu Qingxue led the three little ones to see the Old Madam together. When she entered the room, she saw that there were many people standing in the room. There were also a few mahogany chests on the ground, and among them, there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal herbs, and other treasures. It was obvious at a glance that they were worth a lot.
“Nanny Sheng, where did these treasures come from?” Gu Qingxue asked curiously.
Nanny Sheng was so happy that she could not close her mouth. She quickly explained, “Reporting to the Eldest Miss, these are all gifts sent by Imperial Duke Zhan to you. He said that they are just for you to enjoy. If you have time, please go to the imperial duke’s manor to treat the Madam.”
“So many treasures. Are they all for mother?” Gu Lin held his younger brother and sister’s hands, his face full of shock at the treasures in front of him.
“That’s right. Imperial Duke Zhan sent someone to invite the Eldest Miss today. When he found out that the Eldest Miss was not at home, he sent someone to send gifts over first.” Nanny Sheng moved closer to Gu Qingxue, she lowered her voice and said, “The Eldest Miss might not know this. At first, the Eldest Madam thought that Imperial Duke Zhan was sending these gifts to the Gu family and even came to greet the commander sent by Imperial Duke Zhan. She did not expect that these things would not be given to them. Instead, they were given to the Eldest Miss alone.”
