Chapter 607 So you already discovered it.
So she kept telling herself to be as firm as a rock, but whenever she saw the Princess of Zhenbei showing such careful concern for her two children...
She felt uneasy, always feeling like the villain in a play.
She knew she was right to protect the child left behind by San'er, but she didn't understand and didn't know how to tell others.
She didn't know if they would think she was selfish, or something else.
She even started to dislike herself.
Although only a day and a night had passed, it felt like a lifetime of torment to Aunt Gu.
She didn't know how to comfort herself, or perhaps this was God's punishment for her, and she had to endure it.
That way, the children won't be taken away.
But a faint voice in her heart told her that the child's biological mother was not wrong either.
They are also very pitiful.
After pondering it over and over again for a long time, Aunt Gu finally came to find Lin Chang'er.
The eldest daughter-in-law is honest and does whatever the family tells her to do. The second daughter-in-law is also indecisive and doesn't know who else she can turn to besides Chang'er.
"Chang'er, Mother has something to tell you."
"Please tell me!" This was exactly what Lin Chang'er expected. Why would he come looking for her for no reason?
Aunt Gu twisted her fingers. "It's about the Awakening of Insects and the White Dew."
Lin Chang'er was taken aback. This was somewhat unexpected. Judging from Aunt Gu's reaction last night, she shouldn't have said anything more. But now she took the initiative to bring it up with her. There must be something inside that outsiders don't know.
Lin Chang'er looked at her, her heart relatively calm. "Little Goldfish and Little Deer, is something wrong with them?"
Aunt Gu pursed her lips, took a deep breath, but the words seemed to deflate as she spoke, and her head drooped down.
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and said, "Have you not decided how to say it yet? You can think about it some more. You don't have to say it today. If you've decided tomorrow, you can come and talk to me tomorrow. If you've decided later, you can come and talk to me the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter. We're family and live under the same roof. There's no rush."
Aunt Gu shook her head, "I can't tell you, it's making my heart ache."
Lin Chang'er said helplessly, "Then please tell me slowly?"
He poured her some more tea, saying, "Take a break."
Aunt Gu picked up her teacup and took a big gulp.
As if he had used tea as wine to embolden himself, he put down the bowl and finally spoke, "I lied to the Princess of Zhenbei last night."
Lin Chang'er's eyes widened. Could it be that Aunt Gu already knew that the twins weren't Gu family children?
Aunt Gu took a breath and continued, "As his mother, I know Xingzhi better than anyone. Even if the children's mother died in childbirth, he would carry her to the ancestral grave. But that time, he only brought back the two children."
“I had my doubts, but he told me that since he brought the child back, it must be a child of the Gu family.”
“Since he said so, I went along with him. Other families who have no children either adopt or take in someone else. I’ve had my own plans since I was little. If I’m delayed in getting married, someone will take care of me in my old age.”
"We just told everyone that the children were born outside the village, and the mother died in childbirth. In the countryside, it's a novelty for a while, and then nobody talks about it anymore. It's a time of hardship, and nobody has the time to gossip about other people's affairs. There are too many women who die in childbirth because of this gossip, so for so many years, no one has ever suspected that the two children weren't Gu Jia's..."
Lin Chang'er tilted her head and looked at her, "So you already knew that the little deer and the goldfish weren't Gu family's children?"
