1285: Disciple and Master

Disciple and Master

General Liu's wife, namely Liu Qingqing's mother passed away ages ago. There were not many concubines at the Liu Mansion, and General Liu did not have many children. Liu Qingqing was the only lineal daughter. And the Second Concubine who made a fuss in the yard had one son, who was younger than Liu Qingqing. There was no one else who was as young as this child.1

And if General Liu did have another child, the news would spread across the whole capital, or at least, Huaijin would know about this.

However, it seemed that no one had learned about this.

Upon hearing the sound of the crying baby, Gu Chaoyan frowned, wondering where the baby was from.

It was very confusing.

She looked at Liu Qingqing, but tried not to show that she cared. It was the inner affairs of the Liu Mansion, so she should not be involved. She could just pretend that she did not know about it.

Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking and took up the teacup and sipped the tea.

She stood up and was about to leave, but Qingqing suddenly said, "That child is mine."

Gu Chaoyan sat down again, as she looked at Liu Qingqing confusedly.

Her child? So it was Zhou Huailing's too?

She had not been divorced with Zhou Huailing for one year, so that could not be someone else's. How could that happen?

She thought for a while and felt that she had not yet seen Liu Qingqing for a long time. Maybe she was pregnant and gave birth to this baby?

"I was pregnant when I was still the Princess Consort of Lord Ling. I did not know about that, nor did I get a doctor to feel my pulse. Then he decided to replace me with Gu Ruxue, so the whole thing was delayed until we were divorced and I returned to the Liu Mansion."

"…"

"He is the Crown Prince and we are divorced, so I decide to raise the child alone. He will be left out of it."

"…"

"Chaoyan, please keep this secret for me," Liu Qingqing begged.

Gu Chaoyan felt very emotional. She could not tell if that was a good or bad thing… a child would always be a good thing except that it was Zhou Huailing's child.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. "General Liu is falling now, and you and the child may not be as safe as before. You have to arrange the child well. Zhou Huailing desires the Phoenix Girl and he will not accept this child."

"I got it. I will let Yun bring the baby away tomorrow," Liu Qingqing said.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

It was good that Liu Qingqing had her own plan. However…

Yun? That sounded quite familiar, yet she could not remember who that person was.

Gu Chaoyan got up.

She was heading towards the room where General Liu was lying. On the way there, she felt some coldness, so she was reminded of her visit to Lord Ling's Mansion. There was a Princess Concubine Yun, who had been forgotten to this stage. Could that be her?

She seemed to be in a good relationship with Liu Qingqing.

Gu Chaoyan did not dig into it, but walked into the room.

In the room, the doctor was still on his knees. He seemed determined to become her disciple.
