The scumbags all want to turn back

Seeing her grandmother's gentle attitude towards Ning Yuanchen, Gu Zhaoting gradually relaxed.He just suspected that Gu Ye suddenly had something to do with him because he knew he was going to be with Ning Yuanchen, so he made things difficult for him. The moment he saw the Duchess of Royce, he thought that there was going to be a bloody drama in front of him, thinking that grandma was here to find Ning Yuanchen Stubble, let him retreat and leave himself.

Now, regardless of whether the Duchess of Royce is here to investigate the future princess for the emperor, she seems to love Ning Yuanchen very much, the love in her eyes is as strong as a mother seeing her newborn child, even Gu Zhaoting himself Never got such loving glances.But Gu Zhaoting didn't doubt anything, he attributed everything to the similarity between Ning Yuanchen and his aunt, Miss Madeleine, whom he had never met before.

Relatives like Ning Yuanchen so much, Gu Zhaoting is also a little proud, and his mind is spinning quickly.Ning Yuanchen's attitude towards his grandmother is much better than that of these men. Maybe he can save the country with a curve, and use his grandmother to narrow the distance between the two and make their relationship go further.

"Since my grandma is with me, I don't worry about it anymore." Gu Zhaoting said with a smile, "Yuanchen's invitation came from me, and the other guests got their invitations only after being friends with the master, so I'm afraid Sometimes someone would bully Yuan Chen when he saw his face."

"With me here, this kind of thing can't happen, so you should discuss your work with His Majesty," the Duchess said.

Gu Zhaoting nodded, asked Ning Yuanchen to put away the holographic projection, and then explained to him through the earphones: "Grandma is the mother of the queen. Although my relationship with the queen is very ordinary, grandma treats me very well. When I became the crown prince and moved into the palace, my grandma took care of me all the time. Grandma likes you very much, Yuan Chen, if possible, can you help me to accompany him?

Ning Yuanchen frowned slightly, and quickly wrote a sentence on the floating touch screen with his fingers: "Your grandma thought we were getting married?"

"Grandma doesn't like you for this reason." Gu Zhaoting hurriedly said, although Ning Yuanchen's attitude towards him was not bad, but Gu Zhaoting knew that Ning Yuanchen didn't really accept him. As a couple, with Ning Yuanchen's character, he will not push the boat along the way, but will just make a clean break.

"In addition to the queen, my grandmother also had a daughter named Madeleine, but Miss Madeleine passed away shortly after she became an adult. Grandma has never been able to get over the pain of losing her daughter. You and Miss Madeleine look somewhat similar , When grandma saw your photo before, she cried sadly because it reminded her of Miss Madeleine. At that time, I thought that if this is the case, I might as well introduce you to grandma, but she refused at that time. I don’t know why I suddenly figured it out now, and came to find you again... Yuanchen, you should be considerate of the feeling of a white-haired mother giving away a black-haired mother, and talk to her for a while, since Madeleine After Miss passed away, grandma seldom went out, and she didn't want to socialize with others. This is the first time I've seen her take the initiative to meet someone in so many years..."

Gu Zhaoting persuaded cautiously, for fear that Ning Yuanchen would be unhappy because he became a substitute for a dead person.The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and the more he spoke, the more disturbed he felt, because Ning Yuanchen's expression was very ugly, he pressed his lips tightly, and the breathing sound transmitted through the microphone sounded very long and deep, which showed that he was controlling his breathing , calm your emotions by taking slow, deep breaths.

Seeing that Ning Yuanchen's face had already turned blue, Gu Zhaoting hurriedly said: "Of course, it's okay if you don't want to, I'll let you find an excuse to pick you up later, you just need to feel wronged..."

Ning Yuanchen sent out a paragraph of text quickly again, because the speed was too fast, the handwriting was scribbled, and it was a bit difficult to read: "What's her name?"

Gu Zhaoting was worried for a long time, afraid that Ning Yuanchen would lose his temper, but he didn't expect that he only asked this question in the end: "Madeleine, Madeleine Royce."

Ning Yuanchen didn't speak for a long time, but gradually his tense expression relaxed, he smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your grandma."

Gu Zhaoting was a little puzzled, but still said: "Thanks for your hard work." Then he hung up the phone.

Ning Yuanchen turned around and looked at the Duchess of Royce, his eyes carefully identified the face of the elderly woman.

The sun shines through the dense bamboo forest, mottled on her face.Gradually, another familiar face emerged and overlapped with the woman in front of her. They were so dissimilar, one was an old woman with plain facial features, and the other was a mixed-race beauty with deep eyes and high nose. There are so many similarities overlapping together, as if the latter was carved out of the former's mold, although younger and more beautiful, but a faint outline of the past can still be vaguely seen.

Duchess Royce smiled at him: "What's wrong?"

Ning Yuanchen smiled decently and said, "I once met Her Majesty the Empress, you and the Empress..."

"It's a bit different, isn't it?" Duchess Royce said clearly, "She looks like his father. If you don't stand side by side for comparison, there is indeed a big difference."

Ning Yuanchen nodded, and raised his hand to pour a glass of water for her: "It's not just your appearance, Your Majesty the Queen is majestic, but you are very amiable."

"Maybe it's because I don't shoulder so many responsibilities like her." The Duchess lowered her eyes, "As a queen, she always has to face many people, and if she is not majestic, she can't suppress those who have evil intentions. And I'm dealing with cute little things every day. Did I tell you about my little ones? They're the best-behaved babies in the world."

The Duchess suddenly became emotional again, and turned on her brain to show Ning Yuanchen her pets.The two chatted from the topic of pets to the tapestries and paintings in the background of the photos, to the decoration style of modern buildings, and finally to the library in the Duke Royce's mansion.

"Although e-books are more convenient and cheaper, the reading experience brought by paper books cannot be replaced by virtual electronic screens." The Duchess looked at him expectantly, "If you want, you can come to my house to read with me Several collections of poetry and novels, and I also collected some paintings and calligraphy."

Ning Yuanchen was a little hesitant, his mind was a little messed up now, and he had received too little information so far, so he couldn't judge whether the old woman in front of him was an enemy or a friend, but his instinctive vigilance made him refuse to put himself in a situation that he couldn't control. Dangerous situation may be encountered.

However, before he could think of a suitable excuse to refuse the invitation, the Duchess of Royce had noticed his hesitation and immediately said: "Ah, maybe you are more interested in this place. I know a very good artist , he has a profound attainment in calligraphy, and likes to make friends. He often holds various gatherings at home, inviting people who also love art to appreciate masterpieces together, or to remember creations. I have always had limited understanding of calligraphy. Every time When he holds a calligraphy event, I can only find excuses not to go. These harsh old guys often laugh at me because of it. If you will accompany me, then I can show up at the party with confidence. Good boy ,Do you want to?"

Ning Yuanchen only considered for a second: "Of course, this is my honor."

Ning Yuanchen accompanied the Duchess of Royce all day, because these porcelain works were held in the author's private mansion, and all the relatives and friends the author knew were invited, so although lunch was just a simple buffet, dinner was It's a formal dinner.Ning Yuanchen originally planned to leave early to avoid embarrassment because he was not accompanied by Gu Zhaoting, but after getting acquainted with the Duchess Royce, he stayed with her until the dinner was over and did not leave.

The Duchess personally sent Ning Yuanchen back to school, and did not let the car leave until he walked into the school gate and could no longer be seen.

As soon as the car started, Gu Ye's phone call came in. As soon as he got through, he asked eagerly: "Mom, how is the kid? He..." He opened his mouth, as if he had a lot to ask, but he didn't know what to do. Knowing what to say first, I can only be tongue-tied.

"Yuanchen is smart, mature, and knowledgeable, not at all like a child of his age." The Duchess smiled all over her face, her face was almost shining, even her suppressed black dress could not cover it, "I recorded the whole process How about sending them to you?"

"Thank you." Gu Ye nodded slightly.

Last week, he ordered someone to find an excuse to arrange a medical examination for the students of the mecha department. After getting Ning Yuanchen's blood, he immediately conducted an identification. It turned out that he was the child of himself and Madeleine.Thinking of Madeleine's strange anxiety and nervousness at that time, maybe it was caused by pregnancy, Gu Ye regretted it and wanted to kill himself to apologize to his lover.It may be the physical discomfort caused by pregnancy, or it may be because Madeleine panicked. After all, pregnancy before marriage is not good news for the conservative royal family. Even the long-awaited heir will arrive after marriage. That's good news.

Thinking of the rumors that Ning Yuanchen had just lost his mother at the beginning of the year, Gu Ye and Mrs. Royce hugged each other and cried.Although they had long given up hope that Madeleine was still alive, when the news of her death really came, the pain that they had been used to and numb to had stung them deeply.

However, it is not hopeless. Madeleine left her blood, left Gu Ye a chance to make up, and left the Duchess Royce as a medium to remember her children.

At present, Gu Ye has no way to make Ning Yuanchen recognize his ancestors, but neither he nor Duchess Royce can bear to see their sons and grandchildren who are close at hand.Therefore, they designed Gu Zhaoting to invite Ning Yuanchen to participate in the exhibition, and Gu Ye deliberately delayed Gu Zhaoting so that the Duchess of Royce could have a chance to meet Ning Yuanchen alone.

Although there are a lot of gossip about Ning Yuanchen on the Internet, good and bad are mixed, and there are a lot of one-sided or fictitious news, which is difficult to distinguish.The two had guessed Ning Yuanchen's character and made a lot of psychological preparations, but the final result was overjoyed. After watching the video sent to him by the Duchess, Gu Ye burst into tears with excitement. It was far better than he thought, hardly something a sinful person like him could have.

Gu Ye cried bitterly in the room, but a strong thought arose in his heart: He owed Madeleine a queen, and he would never owe their children any more. He must personally put the crown on his head , making him the master of the empire.

This night, Gu Ye stayed up all night, staring at Aiko in the video.And Ning Yuanchen was also unable to fall asleep. He refused Wen Jin and Alan's request to sleep with him, locked the door, opened the sound insulation barrier, sat at the table, turned on the desktop brain, and searched for the Duke of Royce's family. Information.

It is not difficult to search, although the latest information is only the duke and the queen, and no one has been discussing the fourth member of the noble family with the closest relationship with the royal family in recent years, but if the news time is set to 20, Twenty years ago, sporadic news could be found.

If these news have not been cleaned up, it means that Madeleine's privacy has been deliberately protected, because Ning Yuanchen searched all night and only found a few news about royal scandals, some of which were of no newsworthiness like "Inventory of the Empire" The aristocratic lady of the university", the Bar Mitzvah banquet and the first social season of the Duke of Royce's youngest daughter, and the news of her death in a car accident.

With so little news, there must be problems, but Ning Yuanchen is not in the mood to care about these at the moment.He stared at the news photos on the screen, the thousands of thoughts he had been suppressing during the day, and his mixed emotions roared like a tornado, destroying his consciousness.I don't know how long it took, until his eyes felt dry and his whole body was sore from too much tension, he didn't wake up, and found that his fists were clenched so tightly that he could hardly straighten his fingers.

His own mother turned out to be the queen's own sister?With such a prominent status, how did she fall into such a situation?Why no one came to her?Why no one can find her?Why is the Duchess of Royce approaching herself now?Did she already know his identity?Does she want to recognize him back, or not?Who is his father? ...

Countless questions made his brain ache like a needle prick.

It was already late at night, and he had to get up early for training the next day, but Ning Yuanchen did not rest. He seemed to be masochistic, searching for any information about his mother Madeleine, all the gossip, rumors, and even He refused to let go of just a few words, until a piercing scream came out of his mind.
