The real daughter has a good way to support her husband, and the small peasant girl has caused a sen

Back in the room, Gu Feiyao began to tell Du Mei the stories she had seen and heard as usual.

Du Mei spoke in a very exaggerated and vivid way, looking at Gu Feiyao with a loving face.

In addition to listening to the story, she was mostly observing.

She looked at Gu Feiyao carefully and could see that she had similarities with Gu Gaoxuan, but not with Li Manhui.

Looking more closely, one could actually see some of Qiu Rui's demeanor in Gu Feiyao's voice, appearance and smile.

Her heart was suddenly startled, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed across her eyes.

Nanny Shen had been with Du Mei for decades and knew Du Mei's thoughts well. She spoke appropriately, "The old lady went out today and ordered a dress for the young lady. The dress will be ready tomorrow."

When Gu Feiyao heard that she had new clothes to wear, and that they were made for her by Du Mei herself, she smiled like a flower.

She leaned over Du Mei's legs and looked up at her. "Grandma loves Feiyao the most. Feiyao will definitely be filial to her in the future."

Looking at Gu Feiyao's innocent and clear eyes, Du Mei seemed to be lost in thought.

Although Gu Feiyao is not like Li Manhui and is a little spoiled and domineering, she was raised by her after all.

She really hoped that all her speculations would not be true.

She quickly regained her composure and patted Gu Feiyao's hand as she did in the past.

"You are my only granddaughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? I just hope that you can grow up safely and happily, and get married and have children in the future."

Gu Feiyao lowered her head shyly, revealing the shyness of a little girl.

"What did grandma say? I don't want to get married. I want to stay by your side forever."

"Nonsense, it's natural for a woman to get married when she grows up. Besides, you're past the age of marriage, so it's time for you to talk about marriage. I don't know what your father is busy with all day, and he doesn't even care about your marriage."

When Gu Feiyao saw Du Mei blaming Gu Gaoxuan, she immediately explained.

"Grandma misunderstood Daddy. Daddy mentioned this to me before. It's just that I don't want to get married so early!"

Du Mei suddenly understood.

"So this is ah!"

She looked at Gu Feiyao and thought of something.

"Do you already have a crush on someone?"

Gu Feiyao's little thoughts were exposed and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Du Mei asked patiently.

"Don't be afraid. If you like someone, just tell me. Even if your father won't make the decision for you, I will. A girl like Feiyao is so noble that no man can be unworthy of her."

Gu Feiyao's face turned even redder.

"Tell me, which man do you like?"

Gu Feiyao hesitated for a long time, but finally said it.

"Grandmother, Feiyao...Feiyao likes the Second Prince. I wonder if Grandmother agrees?"

"Second Prince?"

"Yes!"

When talking about the suave and handsome Second Prince, Gu Feiyao's eyes were filled with stars.

A hint of disbelief flashed across Du Mei's brows, but she quickly regained her composure.

"A member of the royal family is not beyond our reach, but... involving someone from the royal family can be quite troublesome, especially with such a major matter as marriage. When we return to the capital, I'll discuss this matter with your aunt!"

Hearing that there was hope, Gu Feiyao couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, grandma, thank you, aunt!"

"I don't know if this will work out yet, but I'm so happy for you!"

"As long as my grandmother and aunt come forward, the matter will be almost certain!"

"You kid!"

The next day, Nanny Shen brought the new clothes back and asked Gu Feiyao to try them on.

Gu Feiyao came here with great joy.

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful clothes, Gu Feiyao liked them very much.

She picked up the dress and measured it against her body.

"It will look great on me!"

Du Mei smiled and said, "Come, I'll help you change your clothes."

Gu Feiyao was a little surprised.

"Just ask the servants to change it for me. Why bother grandma to do it herself?"

"That's fine. I'll change your clothes myself this time."

Seeing Du Mei's doting expression, Gu Feiyao nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

When changing clothes, Du Mei kept paying attention to Gu Feiyao's shoulders, but Gu Feiyao's shoulders were clean, there was nothing on them!

Could it be that the birthmark at birth disappears as you grow up?

impossible!

When she thought about the birthmark on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder, her previous guess became more and more serious.

Su Xiaoxiao is her biological granddaughter, Gu Feiyao is fake!

It was like a bolt from the blue for her!

She was so frightened that she almost fell down. Fortunately, the maids beside her were quick-witted and supported her, so she did not fall.

Gu Feiyao was frightened and didn't care about putting on her clothes. She and the maids helped Du Mei sit down on the chair.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? I'll send someone to find a doctor right away!"

Du Mei waved her hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. As you get older, it's normal to have some minor problems occasionally. Don't make it public. After you return to Beijing, don't mention it to your uncle and aunt, understand?"

"This……"

Gu Feiyao had no choice but to obey Du Mei and nodded in agreement.

Nanny Shen also agreed to be frightened. After Gu Feiyao left, Nanny Shen came to Du Mei.

"Madam, what should we do next?"

"Only by finding the midwife who delivered Manhui can we confirm whether the birthmark on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder is real."

"If we find a midwife and confirm that Miss Su is the real young lady, then the young lady now..."

"There must be some secret that we don't know about. I must find out the truth."

Du Mei tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and looked ahead with a cold gaze.

When Li Manhui gave birth, she was unwell and it was inconvenient for her to visit Li Manhui.

At that time, Li Muyuan was in the military camp. Without the emperor's summons, he was not allowed to return to Beijing privately, nor could he see Li Manhui.

As for Li Mu's wife Zheng, she not only had to take care of herself as an old woman, but also had to take care of young children, so she was unable to get away.

When Li Manhui was giving birth, there was no family member around her and no one knew what she was going through.

A few days after giving birth, they heard the news that Li Manhui had died due to postpartum weakness.

Such bad news made Du Mei, who was already ill, even worse and she became bedridden.

Although Zheng was busy with Li Manhui's funeral arrangements, her energy was limited. In addition, the incident happened suddenly and she was immersed in grief, so she did not notice any clues.

At that time, the child was already being taken care of by Qiu Rui. Zheng went to see her several times and saw that Qiu Rui took good care of the child and treated her as her own, so she didn't think much about it.

Afterwards, when people thought of Li Manhui, they would only sigh that Li Manhui had a short life, and no one suspected that there was any problem.

Du Mei knows Li Manhui best. Her daughter has always been in good health. How could she not survive giving birth?

For a woman giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, but Li Manhui had clearly given birth to the child safely. Why did she suddenly die of illness a few days after giving birth?

It seems that there must be something fishy about this matter!
