409 Do They Also Like Us a Lot?

The middle-aged guard’s att.i.tude was very respectful. He nodded and said to Gu Qingxue, “I’m Imperial Duke Zhan’s trusted aide. The duke and his wife knew that Miss Gu would pay a visit today, so they asked me to wait for you here.

“Grandfather and grandmother even specially sent people to wait for us outside the door. Do they also like us very much?” Lingbao raised her little head and asked with an innocent face.

The middle-aged guard hurriedly nodded. “Of course. The imperial duke and his wife are looking forward to your arrival. Miss Gu, please come in.”

Gu Qingxue held the three little children’s hands and smoothly walked through the Imperial Duke Zhan’s residence’s main gate.

Gu Qingxue’s front foot stepped through the threshold, and she suddenly felt a gaze fall on her from a distance.

Gu Qingxue turned around warily, but there was nothing behind her. The pedestrians on the street were all in a hurry, and their eyes did not stay on her.

Gu Qingxue did not understand. She was not sure if the feeling she had just now was an illusion.

“Mother, what’s wrong?” Gu Lin pulled Gu Qingxue’s hand and asked worriedly.

“It’s fine. Let’s go in quickly so that your grandfather and grandmother won’t wait for too long.” Gu Qingxue secretly paid attention and followed the middle-aged guard through the door, heading straight for the main hall.

The middle-aged guard was very enthusiastic along the way. He told Gu Qingxue about how happy the imperial duke and his wife were when they found out that she was returning to the capital.

Gu Qingxue listened quietly, her heart filled with antic.i.p.ation.

Finally, the middle-aged guard brought Gu Qingxue, her mother, and the other two to stand outside the hall. He lifted the heavy curtain, and the clear and moving scent of plum blossoms swept out. “Duke, Madam, Miss Gu is here.”

Gu Qingxue led her three little children into the house. When she saw the imperial duke and Madam Qiao, who had been sitting in their seats and drinking tea, she stood up.

Madam Qiao’s eyes immediately curved into crescents as she smiled. She stood up and ran straight towards Gu Qingxue.

“Xue ‘er, you’re finally home. Mother was just talking to your father about whether you would find the time to come back today. In the end, I didn’t expect you to come back so soon.” Madam Qiao took Gu Qingxue’s hand and said with heartache, “When mother saw you, I knew you’d suffered again. Look at your little face. How can mother not miss you? ”

Madam Qiao could tell at a glance that Gu Qingxue looked a little thinner than before. Her fair little face and sharp chin made her eyes seem even more dark and spirited.

“Mother, I’ve indeed spent a lot of energy to treat the plague. I plan to rest for a while and stay in the capital to spend the new year with you and father.” Gu Qingxue quickly consoled him.

“Haha, that’s great. Xue’er, are these your children?” From the moment Gu Qingxue’s group of four entered the room, the imperial duke’s gaze had been fixed on the three little ones.

His only son had never gotten married, nor did he have any children. This was the first time he had seen his grandchildren, and he had been looking at them.

The imperial duke was very tall, and with the aura he had trained on the battlefield for many years, he could usually scare children to tears with just a look.

Dumby and Lingbao were also very nervous. They seemed to have made an appointment to stand behind Gu Lin and hide half of their bodies. However, the two of them were still very curious about Imperial Duke Zhan, and they kept staring at him with big, watery eyes.
