At this moment, the waiter from the bookstore quickly walked out and greeted the few of them happily. “Madams, Little Master, Little Miss, do you want to buy books? Please come in.”
“In our shop, we have a comprehensive collection of books. This includes the Confucian classics, historical and astronomical texts, geography and hydrology materials, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist classics, agricultural and medical books, music scores, and various other works. We have everything you could need.”
As the waiter spoke confidently, Gu Yanfei and the other three entered the bookstore.
On the first floor of the bookstore, four to five scholars were choosing books and reading. The waiter was afraid that the scholars would offend the women, so he hurriedly said, “Madams, you have to go to the second floor. There are few people on the second floor.”
Wei Jiaoniang also felt that this idea was good and immediately echoed, “Let’s go to the second floor.”
When the group walked to the stairs, Wei Jiaoniang bent down to carry little Chu Zhen and suggested warmly, “Zhen’er, I’ll carry you up, alright?”
“Aunt, I’ll walk myself.” Chu Zhen shook her head obediently. She pursed her pink petal-like lips and smiled.
The jade statue-like little person blinked her black eyes, making one’s heart tremble.
Chu Yun hurriedly said, “Aunt, Sister and 1 will walk ourselves.”
When the two children smiled and looked at Wei Jiaoniang, they were as obedient and cute as they could be.
Wei Jiaoniang felt like a little person was screaming in her heart. She really wanted to hug the two children left and right. Wei Jiaoniang sighed in her heart. They were both other people’s children!
Her eldest son was a brat that even dogs despised. Every day, he flew into the sky and entered the ground. He was extremely energetic, making her have a headache. She wished she could stuff him back into her stomach and never have a second son again.
“Alright, alright, you guys walk yourselves.” Wei Jiaoniang let the two children hold the railing of the stairs and slowly went upstairs. She then cast an envious look at Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang followed behind the twins.
The second floor was very spacious. Apart from rows of bookshelves, there were also a few small private rooms. Some people were reading in the private rooms, some were copying books, and some were drinking tea to rest.
The twins happily went to look for books themselves.
Wei Jiaoniang’s gaze glanced at the twins from time to time, and her gaze was extremely gentle. “Yanfei, why don’t we bring them to the flower and bird market and the horse farm to play after shopping?”
Wei Jiaoniang thought, ‘What’s so fun about a bookstore? Its boring:
“Next time.” Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but laugh. She casually took out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. “Once the two of them enter the bookstore, how can they still be willing to come out? It’s not a problem to be here for a day.”
“Yanfei, your two children are too obedient!” Wei Jiaoniang sighed. “My eldest son isn’t good. He’s been hit in the palm by Mister every day in the clan school… My mother even said that he’s like me in this aspect! Hmph, when was 1 so disobedient when I was young?”
The two of them chatted happily, and their voices clearly reached Yu Chaoyun, who was hiding behind a certain bookshelf.
Yu Chaoyun’s nails sank deeply into her soft palm, and her eyes were dark.
When Gu Yanfei and the others went upstairs just now, she subconsciously hid, not wanting Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang to see her.
She was afraid to see disdain, sympathy, and even disgust on their faces.
She inexplicably remembered the golden necklace inlaid with seven gems that had been crushed by Gu Yanfei. Now, she felt like that crushed golden necklace. Even if she had once shone brightly, she could never return to the past.
Yu Chaoyun pinched her palm even harder. Her entire body was cold and numb, and her heart felt like it was soaking in a cold quagmire.
It was impossible for her to make a comeback again!
Looking at Chu Yun, who was 60 to 70% similar to Chu Yi, and thinking of her three-year-old son’s fat and stupid appearance, a thought clearly and cruelly appeared in Yu Chaoyun’s heart.
A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix… the child of a snake and a rat was still a snake and rat.
A line of hot tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes, blurring her vision. Yu Chaoyun’s plump body trembled continuously. She heard the little girl’s soft voice coming from ahead. “Mother.”
She wiped her tears with her finger and secretly stuck half of her face out from behind the bookshelf. She saw the little Chu Zhen holding an old book with both hands and walking towards Gu Yanfei, smiling like a flower.
Chu Yun followed behind the twin sister like a shadow, as if she was her most loyal guardian.
“Mother, 1 found a very interesting old book.” Little Chu Zhen handed a blue-covered book to Gu Yanfei, her black and white eyes shining..
