1316 Chapter 1316-unimaginable
Gu Hui and Peng ze were both stunned.
How, how could this be possible?
Gu Hui even suspected that she had lost the jade pendant that her grandmother had given her.
Holding the jade pendant, Queen Dugu turned around and sat down on a chair. She poured herself a cup of tea and said, ” “Tell me, where did you get it? You’d better tell the truth and not lie like before. I have no ill intentions towards the people of the great Zhou. If you are not lying to me, I can let you go!”
Gu Hui looked at Queen Dugu in bewilderment.
Queen Dugu ignored her and took a sip of tea.
“Is Your Highness’s jade pendant a family heirloom?” Gu Hui asked after a moment of silence.
“You little girl,” Queen Dugu laughed,”am I the one asking you a question, or are you the one asking me a question?” Right, Yan Mo said that you’re probably in disguise, so let me see your real face!”
Thus, Queen Dugu called for a servant girl to fetch some water and wash away the various cosmetics on Gu Hui’s face.
Gu Hui’s true face was revealed bit by bit.
Gu Hui looked very much like uncle Gu, especially her eyes.
Apart from his eyes, uncle Gu looked exactly like grandma Gu.
As soon as her face was revealed, Queen Dugu asked her servant to leave.
Gu Hui looked at Queen Dugu and remained silent.
“Don’t you think I look like your father or mother’s sisters?” Queen Dugu asked.
“No,” Gu Hui shook her head.
Queen Dugu pursed her lips.
The room was eerily quiet.
After a while, Queen Dugu walked to the bookshelf and took out a scroll of painting from a long vase. She walked to Gu Hui and unrolled it.
She did not look at the painting but at Gu Hui’s expression.
No matter how strong Gu Hui’s mental fortitude was, she could not hide the shock on her face when she saw her grandmother’s appearance in the painting.
Peng ze, who was beside him, was also surprised.
“Is the person in the painting your grandmother or your maternal grandmother?” Queen Dugu asked.
“It’s my grandmother,” Gu Hui replied.
“Is she alright?” Queen Dugu asked with relief. Is it in kun city?”
“What does the man in the painting have to do with you?” Gu Hui looked at Queen Dugu.
Queen Dugu squatted down, feeling uncomfortable. She sat on the ground and looked at Gu Hui at eye level.”The person in the painting is my mother. My mother was born in the great Zhou Dynasty. My grandmother was once mischievous and went out to sea to play before she disappeared. When she was found, she had just given birth to a pair of twin flowers. Because of her grandmother’s disappearance, the dugu family had no heir, and other families wanted to replace her. Fortunately, the people who went out found my grandmother and brought her back. At the same time, they also brought my mother back. Do you think that my mother looks exactly like your grandmother? Their jade pendants just happened to be put together, which meant that they were the Twin flowers. Child, you’re my aunt’s granddaughter. You can call me aunt. I’m your father’s cousin. Come, tell me, who are the people in your family?”
Queen Dugu accepted it readily, but Gu Hui was not.
This grandfather was the older brother of the late Emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty, and his grandmother was the younger sister of the late King of the goddess Kingdom. The two of them were also one of the twins.
Gu Hui felt that this matter was too, too unbelievable.
Queen Dugu smiled and said, ” “Your grandmother might not know that she has an elder sister, an elder sister who looks exactly like her, but my mother knows everything. My maternal grandmother had told my mother everything that happened in the great Zhou, so my maternal grandfather must have told your grandmother. If you do not believe me, I will personally send you back and you will know after asking.”
