Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A moment later, the carriage came to a stop outside the Gu residence.
The housekeeper quickly came up to welcome her, and hurriedly got someone to put down the small stool on the sedan chair. “Welcome back, Eldest Miss.”
At this time, many people had gathered on the street to watch the show. They were standing not far away and were now pointing at the carriage and discussing.
“Look, this is the carriage of the eldest daughter of the Gu family.”
“Gu Qingxue is back? Hasn’t she been unwilling to come back ever since she got married?”

“She has stayed in the countryside for five or six years. This eldest daughter of the Gu family has brought three children into Jing City. She has really embarrassed the Gu family...”

Just when everyone was waiting to see how exhausted Gu Qingxue was after being tortured for the past few years, a cold and pleasant voice came from inside the carriage.
“Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work.”
Then, a soft and fair palm gently pulled open the curtain of the carriage. Gu Qingxue was wearing a long crimson dress. The moment she bent down and stepped out of the carriage, the jeers around her quieted down.
For a moment, everyone thought that they had seen a fairy descending into the mortal world.
Her skin was like snow and her face was like Jade. Even though Gu Qingxue wore a veil, it was not difficult to see that she was even more beautiful than before she got married. Her pair of clear black and white eyes shone with a cold light, like the surface of a frozen lake, anyone who took a glance at her could not help but feel a sense of awe.
Where was the village woman that they had talked about? Gu Qingxue was clearly even more beautiful than the young ladies of the various families who had yet to get married!
Ignoring everyone’s gazes, Gu Qingxue carried the three children out of the car separately and followed the housekeeper, Uncle Li, into the Gu residence.
Holding the hands of the three children, they entered the Gu residence. Gu Qingxue observed everything in the Gu residence silently along the way. There was not the slightest hint of excitement on her face, but some indifference.
Nanny Zhou followed behind Gu Qingxue, observing her expression the whole time.
Logically speaking, Gu Qingxue should be very excited to be able to return to her mother’s home after going through so many things. Moreover, Gu Qingxue had never dared to raise her head and walk in the past, afraid that her eyes would meet with others. She had never looked so confident before.
Nanny Zhou gritted her teeth. Looking at Gu Qingxue’s gorgeous clothes, she felt even more nervous.

“Eldest Miss, the Old Madam is waiting for you in the hall.” The housekeeper, Uncle Li, led Gu Qingxue to the outside of the hall. As he spoke, he lifted the thick curtain of the door.
Suddenly, a warm fragrance of flowers came out of the room. The three children could not help but take a deep breath.
It was so warm and fragrant. It was like spring in this room.

When she raised her head, Gu Qingxue realized that there were more people in this room than she had imagined.
Not only was the Eldest Madam’s room full of people, but even the wives and mistresses of the second and third branches were also present. The room was filled with people comparing themselves with each other, almost dazzling to the eyes.
The three children had never seen so many people before.
Gu Lin held his younger brother and sister’s hands tightly.
Lingbao hid behind Gu Lin, a little afraid of strangers.
Only Dumby was relieved after he took a closer look at the group of women curiously.
Sure enough, none of them were as good-looking as his mother!

“Eldest Madam, I’ve brought the Eldest Miss here,” Nanny Zhou went up and reported.
Gu Qingxue followed Nanny Zhou’s direction and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a red peony robe and a stone face.
