Chapter 9

Gu Shiyan only felt an inexplicable warmth slide across his palm and was about to speak when Shen Qinghe brought Gu Xingyu out of the fitting room from behind.

Gu Xingyu was unaware what was happening outside. When she saw Gu Shiyan, she immediately ran over happily.

She glared at Lu Miao and pulled Gu Shiyan in front of her.

“Brother, you’re here. Hurry up and take a look at my new dress. Mom let me try it on for a long time just now.”

Shen Qinghe looked at the deformed clothes pole in the trash can and the hole in the wall. She could guess what had happened without asking.

She had specially brought Lu Miao out today and even called Gu Shiyan over to tell everyone that not only did the Gu family acknowledge Lu Miao as their daughter-in-law, but they also pamper her wholeheartedly.

From now on, the Gu family would be her strongest backing.

Qin Shuang and the others had deliberately stepped into the line of fire, so they only had themselves to blame.

In the past few days, the news of the Lu family using a country bumpkin to replace Lu Siyu for engagement had spread throughout Luo City.

Many people were waiting to see the Gu family make a fool of themselves. When they saw her bring Lu Miao out, they were all watching her.

Although Gu Shiyan had already cleared the place when he arrived, what happened in the shop still spread throughout the entire circle of socialites.

After Gu Shiyan accompanied them to buy things, he personally sent them back to the Gu family before leaving to do his own things.

All the clothes had been packed and sent back to the house.

When Gu Xingyu saw that most of the clothes packed in the living room were Lu Miao’s, she was about to explode with anger.

She now deeply suspects that she was the one who was mistakenly switched at birth with Lu Miao back then.

Ever since Lu Miao came to the Gu family, Shen Qinghe had treated Lu Miao hundred times better than her biological daughter.

Her brother was also smitten by her and sided with her in everything.

Seeing Lu Miao go upstairs, Gu Xingyu quickly chased after her.

She gritted her teeth and warned, ” Lu Miao, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. My Brother and Mom might be bewitched by you, but I’m not. I will keep an eye on you in the future and never let your schemes succeed. Sooner or later, I will reveal your true colors to everyone and chase you out of the Gu family.”

“Oh.” Lu Miao responded indifferently, pushed open her door and walked in.

This nonchalant reaction made Gu Xingyu feel as if she had punched cotton.

Not only did she fail to teach Lu Miao a lesson, but she made herself even angrier.

How despicable! Damned country bumpkin, just wait and see.

The next day, Lu Miao took a stroll around the entire Gu residence and carefully inspected it.

Other than the ancestral hall, there was nothing unusual.

However, Gu Xingyu stared at her as if she was guarding against a thief.

Not only did she keep an eye on her, but she also secretly instructed all the servants in the Gu family to help her keep an eye on her.

There were people watching the ancestral hall almost 24 hours a day.

She had no chance to go in and check.

During dinner, Gu grandmother, Zhou Yuying, who had not appeared all this time, finally appeared at the dining table with Gu Shiyan.

Back then, the marriage between the Lu family and the Gu family was decided by her and the grandmother of the Lu family.

Although Lu Miao hasn’t been born in Qin Shuang’s stomach back then, the engagement did indeed belong to her.

However, she was naturally dissatisfied that the Lu family had tricked her like this.

She did not even look at Lu Miao when she saw her coming downstairs.

Gu Shiyan stood up and pulled out the stool beside him like a gentleman. He said gently,”Sit.”

“Thank you.” Lu Miao sat down.

Shen Qinghe, who was at the side, introduced her with a smile, ” Miaomiao, this is Grandma. She had been praying in the mountain for Gu Shiyan and just came back today. ”

Lu Miao nodded and greeted politely, ” Good evening, Grandma Zhou. ”

Zhou Yuying replied indifferently and raised her hand to scoop a bowl of ginseng chicken soup for Gu Shiyan.

“Let’s eat. Your health is more important.”

“That’s right, Brother. You lost weight. Hurry up and eat more.”

Gu Xingyu glanced at Lu Miao proudly and chattered coquettishly with Gu Shiyan and Grandma Zhou.

As long as Grandma didn’t like this country bumpkin, she would have to get out of the Gu family sooner or later.

Because of his health, Gu Shiyan has not had much appetite recently.

Shen Qinghe racked her brain and thought of countless ways for this problem. She even hired a bunch of cooks at home, but it was useless.

Seeing him take a sip and put down the bowl in his hand, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Lu Miao glanced at the soup in front of her. The ginseng was at least a hundred years old, and there were some other rare herbs. It was indeed good stuff.

She turned her head to look at Gu Shiyan and said casually,”Drink more. Don’t waste it.”

She meant what she said literally. Her master had taught her since she was young not to waste food.

Gu Shiyan raised his eyebrows slightly. He reached out to take the bowl in front of her and scooped a bowl for her.

He placed it in front of her and smiled. ” You’re right. We can’t waste it. I can’t drink so much by myself. You should drink it too. ”

Smelling the thick smell of Chinese medicine in the bowl in front of her, Lu Miao’s usually calm expression finally cracked.

In her previous life, she was an abandoned baby picked up by her master. When she was young, her body was weak. The Taoist temple was filled with the strong smell of medicine all day long, and she took medicine three times a day.

If there was a smell that she hated the most in this world, it would be the smell of medicine.

This bowl of ginseng chicken soup was mostly filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs. It was no different from taking medicine.

Gu Shiyan must have deliberately tricked her.

Beside them, Shen Qinghe was very happy to see the ” loving ” interaction between the two.

Gu Shiyan had always had a cold personality. For so many years, he did not even look at other women, let alone take the initiative to care about them.

Previously, she was afraid that he would be too cold to Lu Miao and hurt her. Now that she saw that the two of them were getting along so well, she even thought of names for her grandchildren in the future.

She said happily, ” Yes, yes, Miao Miao is too skinny. She needs to eat more to nourish her body. ”

As she said that, she put a chicken drumstick into Lu Miao’s bowl.

“I personally brewed this ginseng chicken soup for a long time. Every piece of chicken has thick ginseng soup in it. It’s the most nourishing. Eat more.”

Lu Miao…

Looking at her completely cracked expression, a smile flashed across Gu Shiyan’s eyes behind his glasses.

He picked up his chopsticks and took the chicken drumstick from her bowl and placed it in his own bowl.

“She doesn’t like chicken.”

” Oh, oh, I was careless. Have some fish then. ”

Shen Qinghe smiled as she picked up the most tender piece from the fish belly and placed it in her bowl.

She was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Gu Shiyan, this disobedient brat, needed someone who dared to control him and could control him.

The other girls only wanted to please him and obey him. Only Miao Miao was sincerely thinking for him.

Most importantly, she was not afraid of him at all.

“Mom, have you forgotten that I’m your biological daughter?”

Gu Xingyu turned around and pulled Zhou Yuying. She complained unhappily, ” Grandma, look. My mother only knows how to favor Lu Miao. If you were to come back a few days later, I would have been kicked out.”

Shen Qinghe raised her hand and knocked her head. ” You said you didn’t like fish. Now you want to eat it even when you see others eating it. When will you be like Miao Miao and become more mature?”

Gu Xingyu failed to complain and was scolded instead. She was even criticized by her own mother, so she could only glare at Lu Miao angrily.

Seeing that she was eating with her head lowered as if it had nothing to do with her, she wanted to splash the chicken soup in her bowl on her face immediately.

Grandma Zhou was calm and composed as if she hadn’t seen anything.

She put down her chopsticks, took a tissue, and wiped her lips elegantly.

She said to Shen Qinghe, ” I heard that the Lin family recently found a master who has some real skills and helped them a lot. Contact the Lin family and find out more.”
