In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

The important thing is, why did my mother do this? ! My mother wanted to pawn the jade pendant, what on earth did she want to do? ! ! !

How could Gu Liang, who is so smart, not understand why Zhao Cuicui did this...

It's just that he doesn't want Gu Liang to fly to the tree and become a phoenix again.

She wanted Gu Liang to continue being Zhao Cuicui's son and be a pheasant again...

Gu Liang just felt uncomfortable, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with pheasants.

Although Zhao Cuicui had a bad temper and was greedy for money, she raised me after all.

As Zhao Cuicui's son, Gu Liang naturally has to help Zhao Cuicui in her old age and see her to the end of her life.

Even if he followed An Guogong to recognize his ancestry in the future, he would still take care of Zhao Cuicui until the end of her life... How could things have come to this point? !

Gu Liang wondered what Zhao Cuicui was thinking. Why did she feel that the son she had carefully nurtured was a man who forgot his principles when he saw profit?

How could she think that he would not support her and actually sell the jade pendant...

Although Gu Liang was angry that Zhao Cuicui made it impossible for him to return to his roots, he was even more angry that Zhao Cuicui actually thought of him like this...

Gu Liang felt very sad because of the betrayal from his adoptive mother.

The affection and support that Zhao Cuicui and I had for each other over the years had gradually faded.

As they walked, Bai Lu stopped quietly.

Bai Lu gently pulled Gu Liang and whispered to him, "Let Sun Nanxing go ahead. Let's stop for a while. I have something to say to you alone."

Seeing Sun Nanxing walking further and further away, Bai Lu pulled Gu Liang into a small garden.

Gu Liang opened his mouth somewhat bitterly, and said to Bai Lu with difficulty: "If you have anything to say...if you want to talk to me alone, just say it."

"What do you think?"

Gu Liang was stunned, feeling very uncomfortable, "Guess?"

"I don't know what to guess..."

"Bai Lu, stop teasing me and tell me what you want to say."

Bai Lu nodded, looking a little indifferent, and said to Gu Liang: "What I want to tell you is that you don't have to be so sad. Zhao Cuicui is not an ordinary person either."

"what?"

Gu Liang was stunned.

Bai Lu said, "Although she raised you, I later found that many things are not as simple as you think."

“Many things are not coincidences.”

"Have you ever wondered why she raised you?"

"!!!"

Gu Liang's face suddenly changed. Thinking of the quarrel he and Zhao Cuicui had in Lianhua Town, Liangzhou Prefecture, he felt like his soul was about to fly away.

Seeing Gu Liang's expression change drastically, Bai Lu smiled slightly and said to Gu Liang: "Now, you know what to do."

"You don't need to think about other things... The most important thing is to get the jade pendant back and quickly acknowledge your relationship with Lord Anguo."

"Now, do you want to tell Duke Anguo?"

Gu Liang looked at Bai Lu and blurted out.

Bai Lu whispered, "That's fine, but I'm afraid Duke Anguo may not believe you. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Gu Liang nodded, thoughtfully.

He took a deep breath and said, "I was stupid."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "It's not that you are stupid, but you are too nervous now, so many things are messed up..."

But Bai Lu actually felt that Duke Anguo should be trustworthy, because Duke Anguo and Gu Liang looked so much alike.

Moreover, the blood bond between true relatives is something that others cannot understand.

As long as Duke Anguo sees Gu Liang, he will definitely understand that Gu Liang is his biological son.

You know, now Anguogong may have mistaken Gu Liang for the son of the Qingzhou governor, but even so, Anguogong and Gu Liang get along very well, the two of them are like close friends regardless of age...

"The reason I told you this in advance is to let you know what you should do next."

Bai Lu looked at Gu Liang seriously and said to him, "If you pass the imperial examination in Kyoto, you can not only climb up the ladder by relying on the relationship with the prefect of Qingzhou, but also by relying on the relationship with the Duke of Anguo."

"As long as you climb up and succeed, all your hard work in studying these years will be worth it..."

"As for Zhao Cuicui, if she interferes with your work, remember to stay away from her."

Hearing this, Gu Liang's expression turned a little ugly.

Bai Lu smiled at Gu Liang, with helplessness flashing in her eyes, "Although Zhao Cuicui and I have a grudge, I am not such a petty person. We have a grudge, but Zhao Cuicui has no grudge against you. Zhao Cuicui is actually very nice to you."

"I don't mean to say bad things about her, the point is that you have to understand...what kind of person she is."

"Is she really the good mother in your heart who thinks about you every day?"

"..."

Gu Liang was silent.

Bai Lu patted his shoulder and said, "I can't say too much about this. If I say too much, it will seem like I am trying to drive a wedge between you two."

"I can only tell you to be careful."

"Ah."

Gu Liang nodded, roughly understanding.

He understood Bai Lu's intention in saying these words to him.

It's nothing more than telling yourself to be more careful.

After that, if he was recognized as a member of the Duke of Anguo's family, he should be careful that Zhao Cuicui might cause trouble for him.

Not far away, a man ran over quickly. Sun Nanxing said to them angrily, "You two are really amazing. You ran away secretly!"

"As soon as I got to the yard and turned around, you two disappeared. I thought I had seen a ghost... My God, you two are really amazing. You ran so far away without telling me."

Hearing this, Gu Liang and Bai Lu were a little embarrassed, but they had to avoid Sun Nanxing.

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Sun Nanxing thought that they had reconciled, and said to them with a smile: "Well, that's how it should be. We are all family, why should we be so unfamiliar with each other?"

"Now that Qingzhou is facing a great enemy, the two of you are still quarreling like that. Your father will probably have a headache later."

Gu Liang and Bai Lu laughed at the same time after hearing this, and nodded to Sun Nanxing and said, "Okay, okay, we won't quarrel, and you don't have to worry, Mr. Sun."

Sun Nanxing nodded, smiled and pulled them both to his yard, "You haven't been to my yard for a stroll before."

"Come, play in my yard, and I'll get you some goodies..."

"These are all my mother left for me. Let's go and take a look together."
