Chapter 589 Why ask this question?
However, she really didn't know the origins of these two siblings.
When she married into the family, her two children were already this big.
Aunt Gu didn't try to control or torment her, so she seemed to have never asked who the two children's biological mother was.
I never thought about what to do if my birth mother came looking for me in the future.
But wouldn't you know it, someone actually came knocking on our door.
Lin Chang'er said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I can't answer you about the origins of the goldfish and the deer. I'll have to ask Aunt Gu to come."
She thought that even if others didn't know, her ex-husband must have mentioned it to Aunt Gu.
Soon, Aunt Gu was invited over by the nanny.
Sister-in-law Gu was also with them.
The two of them were still wearing their aprons when the nanny led them to her, and they had to bow as usual.
Princess Zhenbei dared not accept it, as she had originally been living in the other party's house.
Furthermore, the other party had helped raise her children. Although the matter was not clearly explained, she was still certain that the deer and the goldfish were her children who had been taken away.
“We’re all family, so please don’t stand on ceremony. Come and sit down.” Princess Zhenbei excused herself from the kneeling ceremony.
The old woman, being perceptive, quickly moved an embroidered stool to the bedside.
Sister-in-law Gu helped Aunt Gu sit down. Although the two women had seen some of the world in the past six months, they were still quite different.
But he was still a little nervous in front of the Princess of Zhenbei.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both holding onto the edges of their aprons, remained silent for a long time.
It was originally Princess Zhenbei who spoke first, but she was very particular about etiquette and was afraid that she might offend her by speaking rashly.
Even Madam Huo felt it was inappropriate for her to speak up.
For a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Chang'er also noticed the concerns of both sides, so she simply played the good guy. "Mother and sister-in-law, the Princess Consort has a few questions she wants to ask you. Don't be nervous, just speak the truth."
Now, Aunt Gu trusts Lin Chang'er the most, so she naturally nodded when she heard her say that.
Sister-in-law Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did the Princess Consort of Zhenbei dare to speak gently, saying slowly, "To be honest, this may be a bit abrupt, please forgive me, Madam and First Madam."
"No, no!" Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Gu waved their hands in unison.
"May I ask who the mother of the little goldfish and the little deer is?"
Aunt Gu's eyes widened instantly, thinking to herself, "Is this the maternal relatives of my two grandchildren coming to visit?"
But looking at it this way, you can't see any resemblance between the grandchildren and the other party.
In the past, when her family rarely had enough to eat, she did hope that her grandchildren's maternal relatives would come to visit, not because she wanted to receive any financial assistance from them.
The idea is that if someone's family has enough chopsticks, they can feed their child and send them to school. Even if the grandchildren take the maternal family's surname, it's still better than having them bear the Gu family's surname and starving to death.
But given the current situation, if their maternal family came knocking and tried to take the child away from them, they would naturally be unwilling to give it up no matter what.
Although that's what I think in my heart, I naturally can't show it on my face.
Not knowing the other party's true intentions, Aunt Gu only said, "But I don't know why the Princess asks such a question?"
Princess Zhenbei was startled, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Lin Chang'er was also taken aback, thinking to herself that her aunt had become quite shrewd; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her entire prison sentence just because someone casually asked her.
But she still smoothed things over, saying, "If it's convenient, Mother will tell the Princess!" If it's not convenient, then there's nothing she can do...
