Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: Stealing a Kiss
Mrs. An saw off the old woman and once again memorized the remedy she had told her. Besides this remedy, Mrs. An had also found two other different ones. With these three remedies, Mrs. An believed that once Little Tiangua took them, he would surely recover completely. Mrs. An happily turned around to head back inside, but suddenly noticed someone standing behind her.
She was startled suddenly.
“Who?” Due to her fright, Mrs. An’s voice trembled slightly.
Hongzhu laughed, pretending to be friendly, “Ma’am, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I am Hong…” Hongzhu almost revealed her real name but quickly caught herself. Mrs. An looked closely at the person in front of her and saw it was a young girl she didn’t recognize, staring at her in surprise.
“Young lady, how did you come to be in my home? I don’t think I’ve seen you before?” Looking up and down at Hongzhu, Mrs. An noticed her clothes were worn and tattered, like a beggar’s, and suspected the girl was there to ask for food. Hongzhu smiled again, “Ma’am, I’m Xiaocui, you can call me Cuicui.” Hongzhu casually made up a name for herself, borrowing from a maid at the Prime Minister Residence named Xiaocui.
Hongzhu directly used her name. The name Xiaocui was common enough that no one would suspect. Mrs. An still wanted to ask when Gu Changshun emerged from the house, “Oh, young lady, you’re here? I’ve been looking all over for you.” Upon seeing Hongzhu, Gu Changshun immediately went over.
Mrs. An noticed that Gu Changshun seemed to know the young lady in front of her and mused internally whether the girl had been deceived by her grandson. “Changshun, what’s going on? How did this young lady end up in our home?” For original chapters go to n0velfire.net
“Ma’am, please don’t be angry. Brother Gu here kindly brought Cuicui and her sister to the Gu Family.” Hongzhu said, putting on a grateful expression as she looked at Gu Changshun.
Gu Changshun straightened up proudly, “Grandma, this young lady and her sister came here to seek refuge with relatives, but unfortunately, the relatives had moved away. Seeing that they had nowhere to go and were quite pitiable, I brought them here for a meal.” Gu Changshun chuckled to himself, delighted to have two pretty young women suddenly in his life.
However, Mrs. An frowned. She was well aware of her grandson’s character and, looking at this well-behaved young girl, felt that if she truly ended up with her rogue grandson, she would be ruined. Fearing her grandson would harm a girl from a good family, Mrs. An quickly said, “Cuicui, if you and your sister have finished eating, you should leave quickly! You are both young ladies, and you don’t want to damage your reputations needlessly by staying at our home.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changshun objected immediately.
“Grandma, what are you saying? These two young ladies have nowhere to go now. If you send them away, where can they go?” Having deceived these two young beauties to his home with great difficulty, how could Gu Changshun let them leave so easily? He blocked their way, preventing Hongzhu and her companion from leaving. Luchou came out, and Hongzhu signaled her with her eyes.
Luchou understood Hongzhu’s meaning and immediately looked at Mrs. An with a pitiable expression, “Ma’am, we two sisters have nowhere to go. Could we stay for one night? We will leave early tomorrow morning.”
“This…?” Mrs. An hesitated.
Hongzhu continued, “Ma’am, I just heard you are looking for a remedy for a child’s cough, and it happens that there is a method back in my hometown that is very effective for children’s coughs.”
Su Yunjin’s face turned red after being kissed by Gu Ya. Gu Ya looked at the woman in his arms with a smile in his eyes, and Su Yunjin chided Gu Ya softly.
“Rascal.” He said he would buy her something but tricked her into stealing a kiss.
