135 – Rumours!

Luo Qi felt extremely helpless with her daughter's situation but she could not explain to her their predicament.

Although Miss had already said to call her sister but can they really be sisters?

Not only was she the lady of the Lu family and the wife of a governor, her father-in-law was also important and powerful. He is fighting for the lofty position of the left government minister, who is second in position only to the emperor. The Gongsun family was already one of the strongest n.o.ble clan of the West Wind Kingdom; the land and wealth they possessed exceeded that of the Lu family. There is a saying in Tiandu: First emperor, Second Jia, but they are all inferior to Gongsun.

In other words, the richest in Tiandu is the royal family and the second is the Jia family. But both the royal family and the Jia family were inferior to the Gongsun family.

Otherwise, back then they would not have formed a marriage alliance with the Lu family.

What about them?

Regardless whether she's a bakery shop owner or a servant of the Lu family, in front of the lady she's still small and insignificant no matter what.

It's not that she could not accept the difference in their status. After all, the Gongsun family saved her father; she was determined to serve the Gongsun family ever since.

However, fate just likes to torment her, making her become Li Muyang's mother——

In other words, from the standpoint of mothers, she and Gongsun Yu are equal.

She did not want Li Muyang to know that his biological mother is a wealthy and n.o.ble heiress in the kingdom and she's just a little servant of the heiress——-

She's worried that would make her son have no self-respect.

Just as every child wants to be the best in their parents' eyes, she wants to be one of the most outstanding mothers in her son's eye.

But very evidently, she can't.

Everything in front of her now can easily destroy her self-confidence.

And to make matters worse, she understands Li s.h.i.+nian's personality very well. She is someone who would rather die than lose. If things were peaceful she would take the initiative and stir up trouble; if there's trouble, she will not be afraid of getting involved.

If Li s.h.i.+nian and the young master of the Lu family really were to get into a conflict, I'm afraid things would become quite problematic—-this little master was not the same as Li Muyang.

Having her daughter's a.s.surance, Luo Qi nodded and said earnestly and sincerely: “s.h.i.+nian, you've grown up, you can no longer stir up trouble—-this is Tiandu, not Jiangnan. We're unfamiliar with the place and the people, we must be aware of our safety.”

Gongsun Yu grasped Luo Qi's hand, saying: “Since we're sisters, your child is my child and my child is your child. Now that s.h.i.+nian is in Tiandu, just treat here like you're back at home. Do you think our Lu family would let outsiders bully our children?”

“Lady—–” A wry smile tugged at the corner of Luo Qi's mouth.

Without knowing exactly why, but the moment she returned to the Lu family, a feeling of losing something important has been troubling her ever since. It was as if the Lu family only needed to extend their arm, then the son she had raised all these years would be taken away.

The scenery back then still felt familiar but that feeling of home was not present anymore.

After all, this was not their home.

That child, was someone she most likely could not keep with her forever.

“I said don't call me Lady.” Gongsun Yu gazed at Luo Qi with wise-looking eyes as she said sincerely: “Call me sister—–sister is really grateful to you. Thanks to you, otherwise—-”

Gongsun Yu's eyes reddened and could not continue anymore.

But Luo Qi understood, Li Yan also understood.
