Chapter 259: It is impolite not to reciprocate
There is a bright crescent-shaped birthmark on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
Du Mei's eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears.
Can’t be wrong!
Although she was not around when her granddaughter was born, her servants told her that her granddaughter had a crescent-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.
If Su Xiaoxiao in front of her is her biological granddaughter, then who is Gu Feiyao who has been raised at home by Gu Gaoxuan?
Or is the birthmark on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder just a coincidence?
She thought quickly.
Seeing Du Mei staring at her blankly with tears in her eyes, Su Xiaoxiao thought Du Mei was sad because she was thinking of her deceased daughter again, so she softly comforted her, "Old lady, are you thinking of your daughter again?"
Du Mei finally came to her senses, feeling a little guilty.
"Hey! Look at me, I'm old and my mind wanders easily, so please don't be offended! I just think you're too thin. You should eat more and gain some weight!"
Su Xiaoxiao bent one arm, clenched her fist, and made a strongman's move to show Du Mei the not-so-obvious muscles on her arm.
"Old man, I'm healthy, don't worry!"
Du Mei was amused.
"Okay, okay, you're healthy. Hurry up and change into new clothes. Don't catch a cold!"
"Hey!"
Zhuier and Dieyi quickly helped Su Xiaoxiao change into new clothes.
After changing into new clothes, Su Xiaoxiao turned around to show Du Mei.
"Does it look good?"
Du Mei looked it up and down and said, "It looks good, very good!"
Su Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth and walked to the bronze mirror to look at herself.
The clothes fit her well and the style was nice, she liked them very much.
"Thank you, old man!"
"do you like it?"
"I like it! I'm going to wear it out tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it!"
"Old man, you gave me beautiful clothes. What should I give you as a gift? Old man, what do you like?"
As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao came to Du Mei, squatted down, and put her hands on Du Mei's legs, like a well-behaved granddaughter asking her a question.
Du Mei almost lost her mind again when she saw the similarities between Su Xiaoxiao and Li Manhui.
She held Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "I don't lack anything. You don't have to give me anything. It's good enough for me to come and see you often!"
Su Xiaoxiao disagrees.
"How can that be possible? I can't take advantage of you. It's rude not to reciprocate!"
Du Mei looked at Su Xiaoxiao's serious expression and couldn't help laughing.
"It's enough for me to know that you are a good kid!"
"By the way, old man, where do you live? If I'm free, I'll come visit you so you don't have to travel back and forth!"
Du Mei didn't want to reveal her true identity, and she didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to know that she lived with Wei Fu.
She pretended to suddenly remember something urgent and stood up.
"Oops, I forgot something important. I need to do it right away. I'll talk to you next time I'm free!"
After saying that, she walked out.
Su Xiaoxiao stood there in a daze. Why did he just leave like that?
Seeing this, Zhuier immediately chased after him.
"Old man, let me take you there!"
Du Mei did not refuse, and left Youlan Garden with Zhuier's support.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Du Mei's departing back and always felt something was strange.
She said to Dieyi beside her, "Do you think there's something wrong with this old man?"
Dieyi scratched his head, looking worried.
"Madam, I don't see anything different about this old lady. Maybe all older people are like this!"
Su Xiaoxiao felt that what Dieyi said made some sense. After all, the old man met her because he was confused and got to the wrong door.
Nanny Shen, who had been waiting in the alley, kept rubbing her hands and pacing back and forth beside the sedan chair.
She looked towards the entrance of the alley from time to time, and when she saw Du Mei, she quickly walked over to her.
"Madam, how is it?"
Du Mei's face showed no emotion, but her heart was already surging with anger.
"There's a birthmark!"
Hearing these three words, Nanny Shen felt her scalp tingling and her pupils shrank slightly.
"Could it be that……"
"No decision can be made before the matter is thoroughly investigated."
"The old lady means to take another look at the young lady's condition?"
"Ok!"
"The old lady means to send the young lady a new set of clothes?"
"Correct!"
"I know what to do now!"
As they were talking, the two came to the sedan chair. Nanny Shen lifted the curtain and let Du Mei sit in the sedan chair.
At that time, Li Manhui and Gu Gaoxuan's concubine Qiu Rui became pregnant at the same time and gave birth at the same time.
Li Manhui died of illness a few days after giving birth to Gu Feiyao, and Qiu Rui's child was stillborn.
Seeing that Qiu Rui was immersed in the pain of losing her son all day long, Gu Gaoxuan sent Gu Feiyao to Qiu Rui to take care of her after Li Manhui passed away.
Qiu Rui treated Gu Feiyao as her own daughter and took good care of her. Seeing this, Du Mei and the Li family felt relieved and said nothing more.
Even when Qiu Rui was later promoted to second wife, the Li family did not object at all.
They only have one request, which is to be nice to Gu Feiyao.
After so many years, Du Mei only remembered seeing Gu Feiyao changing clothes when she was little.
At that time, she clearly remembered that Gu Feiyao had a birthmark on her shoulder.
I don’t know if the birthmark is still there.
……
Gu Feiyao went to look for Du Mei, and found that Du Mei was not in the room again, so she asked the servants.
"Where's Grandma?"
"Replying to Miss, I don't know!"
"What about Madam Shen?"
"Madame Shen should have gone out with the old lady!"
"Where have they gone?"
"This servant really doesn't know."
Gu Feiyao frowned and had to leave because she couldn't find Du Mei.
After walking out of Du Mei's yard, she complained to the maid beside her.
"Where did your grandmother go? She wasn't here every time I came to look for her."
"I don't know either. Why don't you wait until the old lady comes back and ask her?"
Gu Feiyao was very dissatisfied with this answer and scolded: "If that's the case, why would I ask you!"
"I was wrong, please forgive me, young lady!"
Just as Gu Feiyao was about to teach the maid a lesson, she saw Du Mei coming back with the support of Nanny Shen.
She was overjoyed and no longer paid attention to the maid who had made the mistake and ran straight towards Du Mei.
"Grandma! Grandma! Where have you been? Feiyao is looking for you!"
Looking at Gu Feiyao running over, Du Mei's face remained kind.
"Run slowly, don't fall. I was just bored in the mansion, so I went out for a walk. What do you want from me?"
"Fei Yao just misses her grandma and wants to come and talk to her!"
As she spoke, Gu Feiyao came to the other side of Du Mei, habitually put her arm around Du Mei's arm, and walked into the yard together.
Du Mei patted Gu Feiyao's hand and asked, "What do you want to say to me?"
"It's just some interesting things I saw in this mansion. Would you like to hear about them, Grandmother?"
"I want to hear it! I want to hear it! Let's go back and tell me about it!"
"Ok!"
Du Mei looked at Gu Feiyao's innocent face and really hoped that her guess was false.
