Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 332

Of course, the business on the first and second floors was so good, mainly due to the popularity of “Story of Love”. 

So Gu Yin was actually teasing him, and seeing his face slumped again, she couldn’t help laughing. 

“Well, I won’t tease you. Anyway, I don’t expect you to take the imperial examinations and I don’t need to wait for Eldest Master Wen’s approval. Half a day then half a day!” 

Gu Ye then smiled, leaning to his mother’s side, a rainbow of farts was about to come. 

(Rainbow farts: describe questionable qualities as virtues It implies that even your idol’s flatulence looks and smells like rainbows)

Gu Yin covered his mouth and said, “You can save it. The ugly words come to the fore, although it’s only half a day, but you still have to write your homework. If the teacher says that you are not good at studying, then you can learn the same way as Wu’an- all day long.” 

“I will study hard!” Gu Ye rubbed his face on his mother’s shoulder in a pleasing manner. 

After discussing that matter with the little brat, Gu Yin turned her head to look at Wu Qingyi and asked, “Is there something wrong?” 

He had two jobs outside, and he was a daily manager, but he rarely brought his emotions home.

Wu Qingyi nodded, Gu Yin saw that he had something to say, and was about to let the two children go out first. But Wu Qingyi opened his mouth and said, “Xiao Ye stays, it has something to do with him.” 

“Then Wu’an can also stay.” Gu Yin got up and asked the servants at the door to retreat to the corridor, and then closed the door. 

Wu Qingyi relayed to the family what Emperor Zhengyuan had said to him. 

Before Wu Qingyi said that the matter had something to do with Gu Ye, Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang thought it was Gu Ye who caused trouble outside. 

The little guy hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, saying that he had been obedient recently and never caused anything.

Mrs. Wang was already working on the draft, and wanted to start with “New Year’s Day” to help the eldest grandson to plead for mercy. 

After listening to Wu Qingyi talking, the whole family couldn’t smile, they were all frightened by that thunderous news. 

Wu Qingyi took out two portraits and put them together. 

Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang naturally remembered what the kid looked like when he was first adopted. Looking at the portrait of him when he was two or three years old, compared with his current appearance, they naturally have nothing to say. 

“I was the one who was ordered to find Xiao Ye at that time, but I didn’t expect to go round and round while he was at home,” Wu Qingyi sighed. 

Mrs. Wang also sighed and said, “It’s my fault too. Earlier, I only told you that Xiao Ye was adopted, but I didn’t say the specific circumstances.” 

Back then, Gu Ye ate on the pier like a stray cat. Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin were heartbroken. 

After getting along with each other later, Gu Ye finally forgot all the hardships in the past, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not want to mention that past, for fear that he would remember the bad days.

When everyone mentioned the tragic condition of the child in those days, wasn’t that like rubbing salt on the child’s wound? Neither Gu Yin nor Mrs. Wang could do such a thing. They only told Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi that the child was adopted and nothing else was mentioned.

Wu Qingyi shook his head and said, “Even if you had said it, I wouldn’t necessarily think of such a coincidence.” 

At that time, he knew that the child was lost by someone from an ocean-going ship, so he led people to look for him along the way. There were also fifty or more such piers. The world was very chaotic outside. In those piers, who would have thought that the child would be left at the pier where Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin set up a stall and just got adopted by them. 

“Then His Majesty wants to recognize Xiao Ye back now?” Gu Yin embraced Gu Ye and asked aloud. 

Wu Qingyi nodded. 

“The one who kidnapped Ye back then was the person from the Ocean Shipping Line. The person in charge of the operation fled south with those people in the past, but now they have been arrested, and these people will be escorted to Beijing later. His Majesty said that their confession and portrait of Xiao Ye can testify for Ye but it will cause troubles in the future. So he can say to the public that he asked me to find him back then, but he was not in good health and so he was first fostered in our family.” 

That evidence was only the first level, the Duke Ying’s house’s protection for Gu Ye was the second level. Under the double protection, no one would dare to doubt Gu Ye’s bloodline in the future. 

“Tomorrow morning, Ye will enter the palace with me.” 

After saying that, everyone was speechless. 

If Gu Ye was a child of an ordinary family, even if his parents were to find him, the two families could always meet as if they were relatives. 

But if it was the royal family, who would dare to be relatives with the royal family? Especially since ancient times, underage princes had lived in the palace, which meant that they would be separated from him. 

They would have to wait for him to leave the palace and build a mansion in his teenager years.

If he was crowned as a prince, he would have to live in the East Palace, and they wouldn’t be able to see him anytime they wanted. 

Everyone’s faces were not very good. Even the most strong hearted  Mrs. Wang couldn’t help crying softly when she thought of being separated from her eldest grandson. Gu Yin also clung to Gu Ye’s hand.
