Chapter 878
878 Chapter 878-Shen Mama
“Big brother, big brother Yuanyuan, hurry up and eat! What are you looking at?” Gu Xin realized that her brother and sister were not eating properly, so she followed their gaze.
She saw an old lady and her sister looking at them in a friendly manner, and she could only smile back.
The old lady finally saw Gu Xin’s face clearly. Even if the shock in her eyes only lasted for a moment, it did not escape Lu Zheng’s eyes.
Lu Zheng frowned. He suddenly felt that the old lady and the young lady looked familiar.
Gu Xin whispered,”why is that old lady and sister smiling at us?” Did we not dress up well as men?”
“Maybe!” Lu Zheng replied. However, it didn’t matter. There were many girls outside who dressed up as men. Maybe they think you two are pretty.”
Gu Xin was overjoyed. She looked at the old lady and the young lady again with a bright smile on her face. old ladies, you guys have good taste!
What she didn’t see was that the old woman’s hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, were clenched tightly, and her body was trembling slightly.
Seeing her so excited, the girl who followed her poured her a cup of tea worriedly. “Shen Mama, have a sip of tea.”
The old woman called Mrs. Shen took a sip of her tea and slowly calmed down.
Gu Xin and the other two quickly finished their meal, paid the bill and left. When they reached the entrance, Lu Zheng bumped into a big man with a big knife.
The burly man was in a hurry and apologized with cupped fists, ” “I’m sorry, little brother. I have something urgent to attend to. Did I hurt you?”
Lu Zheng came back to his senses and shook his head.
Gu Xin quickly asked him if it hurt, mainly because the man was too strong. He was so big that he could block three of her.
Lu Zheng smiled, indicating that he was fine. He turned back to look at the burly man who bumped into him and found that he was sitting at the table of the old lady who was smiling at them for no reason.
He was a little surprised.
He recognized this burly man. He was one of the Empress Dowager’s men, Shen Feng.
In his previous life, not long after the third Prince had ascended the throne, the third Prince had asked him to find a way to get close to Shen Feng. At that time, he had not asked why he was close to Shen Feng. He only knew that Shen Feng was someone who worked for the Grand Empress Dowager.
The surname “Shen” was not common in the great Zhou Empire. The current Grand Empress Dowager’s closest servant had the surname “Shen,” and she was Shen Feng’s aunt.
So, when he heard the young lady call the old woman as Shen Mama, she was the Shen Mama by the Grand Empress Dowager’s side?
Then why was she looking at Xinxin like that?
Lu Zheng had checked in both lifetimes. Xinxin was definitely a child of the Gu family. She wouldn’t have been carried away by mistake and abandoned.
With his hands behind his back, Lu Zheng looked at Gu Xin, who was happily pulling Gu Hui to buy things from various stalls. He was a little worried!
The most unfathomable person in the great Zhou Dynasty was the current Grand Empress Dowager.
The Zhou Dynasty was currently the fourth Emperor. The first emperor was the uncle of the current Grand Empress Dowager. Her cousin married her uncle’s cousin and they were childhood sweethearts. The two of them accompanied the first emperor to conquer the country. When the second emperor ascended the throne, she became the Empress and gave birth to a son. He was born as the Crown Prince, but unfortunately, the Crown Prince was weak and fell ill at the age of ten. He was saved with great difficulty and died at the age of twenty. When the second emperor passed away, she chose a good-mannered Lord to return to the capital and ascend the throne, which was the previous emperor.
She assisted the late Emperor, and she was the first in the late Emperor’s Affairs.
She had personally educated the late Emperor’s son, who was the current Emperor.
It was only ten years ago that she stopped caring about the affairs of the court, because the Emperor she had personally raised was still so capable.
This Grand Empress Dowager was already over seventy years old. In her previous life, she had lived to ninety years old, the longest living person in the great Zhou.
Why was her personal nanny in Liangzhou? Why was he smiling so strangely when he was looking at Gu Xin?
