I

    don’t know why Gu Xiao is not as happy as she thought she was. She has been waiting for such a promise for many years. She is not doubting or distrusting. She just feels empty in her heart and doesn’t know where to start.

    The Powerful and Scheming Young Queen Mother (20)

    After a few days, when Gu Xiao saw Chen Sao mending clothes for Brother Chen in the house, she suddenly remembered that Bizhu had teased that whoever found her to be the mistress would be unlucky.

    At that time, she chased Bizhu with the round fan in her hand. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help laughing, which made Chen Sao put down her needlework and look over.

    Gu Xiao touched her head in embarrassment, approached to greet her, and then talked about herself.

    "I'm not good at sewing, and people around me used to tease me about this."

    Mrs. Chen was still a little reserved, but her eyes still revealed surprise. After all, women in our dynasty, whether they were daughters of officials or common people, had to sew their own wedding dresses when they got married. Now that Gu Xiao seemed to be chatting and talking to her about this, she didn't know how to continue.

    "Have you never given the young master a purse?" Mrs. Chen's tone was slightly puzzled, and she seemed to be a little unconvinced.

    Purses have always been regarded as tokens of love, and there is a folk custom of giving purses before getting married. Gu Xiao was stunned by this question. She was marrying as a queen, not Su Shendi, and she was not the first queen, so naturally there was no such content.

    She thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Mrs. Chen: "I haven't given a purse, but I did make a hairpin. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

    Mrs. Chen knew very well about their hesitation about their relationship. Although she didn't say too much, Gu Xiao also understood that there were too many things hidden in her heart, so she simply opened the conversation.

    "There were many women who admired him at that time, and I didn't want to give him purses and sachets like them. Besides, he rarely used these items, and ornaments were even more boring."

    "Why can't you give him ornaments?" Chen Sao was a little surprised by Gu Xiao's attitude, and she also found her interesting, so she asked.

    "Oh, isn't it obvious that this is giving other girls the opportunity to give him something as a personal item?" Gu Xiao's confident way of saying "personal item" made Chen Sao couldn't help laughing.

    Gu Xiao continued, "Although I'm not good at needlework, I'm different from others. I secretly learned woodworking and carved a hairpin for him."

    Not to mention noble ladies, even ordinary women don't know much about woodworking. Chen Sao didn't know whether the gap in her heart was magnified or reduced, but no matter what, her attitude was indeed closer, and such a straightforward treatment made people feel embarrassed to be on guard.

    As they were chatting, Su Shendi followed Chen Haiying back. Mrs. Chen came forward and told her about what she had seen and heard about Gu Xiao. Su Shendi looked at him in surprise when he heard Gu Xiao talk about the wooden hairpin.

    Chen Haiying's hearty laughter was heard, and then he said to Mrs. Chen: "I said that Brother Su always changed the hairpin on his head every time he went out with us. Ah Hu next door also said that Brother Su always replaced the wooden hairpin with a valuable jade hairpin. I don't know why. Now it seems that it must be Madam's intention."
