Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 220 Giving Gifts

He gently patted Su Yue's hand to comfort her, then pointed to two people not far away and introduced them: "Look, that's your fourth brother, Gu Chuan, and that's your fifth sister, Gu Yu. I wonder if you still remember them?"

"Grandfather, I remember now." Su Yue nodded slightly, her gaze slowly shifting to the two people standing behind Madam Gu and Jiang Ying.

One of them was not tall, but had a handsome face and a heroic air about him.

The other person is petite and has a cute and playful appearance.

At this moment, the old Marquis Gu spoke up, "You two, why aren't you coming over to call for help?" His voice was loud and authoritative.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chuan and Gu Yu exchanged a glance, and then looked at their mothers simultaneously.

Only then did he step forward and walk up to Su Yue.

"Hello, Third Brother." Gu Chuan spoke first, his voice clear and loud, yet carrying a hint of arrogance.

Immediately afterward, Gu Yu also called out, "Hello, Third Brother." The smile on his face was also very fake.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue couldn't help but smile and replied, "Fourth Brother, Fifth Sister, how are you! It's truly delightful to meet you today."

After saying that, he waved his hand gently, indicating that the two of them did not need to be so polite.

Lord Gu gazed at Su Yue with tender eyes, his gaze filled with affection and joy, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

He slightly raised his hand and slowly reached into his sleeve to grope around, and soon pulled out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was perfectly round, radiating a warm luster, and was delicate and smooth, with a bright red color that was even more eye-catching.

Old Marquis Gu gently placed the jade pendant in Su Yue's palm and said earnestly, "Yuan'er, this is a little compensation from your grandfather for you over the years. You must keep it safe and never lose it!"

Su Yue looked down at her palm and saw the jade pendant lying there quietly, warm to the touch, even a little hot.

She couldn't help but examine the jade pendant closely, discovering that its carving was exquisite and the patterns on it were lifelike, clearly making it a rare treasure.

Meanwhile, the brother and sister standing to the side stared intently at the jade pendant in Su Yue's hand, their eyes filled with jealousy, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

They felt wronged; they had asked their grandfather for the jade pendant, so why wouldn't they be given it back?

Now that this kid has returned, his grandfather has given him the jade pendant, which makes people even more jealous.

Although the extraordinary nature of the jade pendant was immediately apparent, Su Yue remained extremely humble and polite. She quickly returned the pendant to Lord Gu, saying, "Grandfather, this jade pendant is far too precious. I feel unworthy to accept such a generous gift."

However, the old Marquis Gu's face darkened, and he shoved the jade pendant back into Su Yue's hand with some displeasure, saying firmly, "Silly child, you should just accept what your grandfather gave you. How can you allow others to gossip about it!"

Seeing this, Su Yue quickly thanked the old Marquis Gu, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Grandfather. Actually, I had prepared a gift for you a long time ago. Please wait a moment, Grandfather, and I will go and fetch it for you."

That being said, Su Yue hadn't actually prepared any gifts at all.

Fortunately, she had many good things in her space, so picking out any one item to get by wouldn't be a problem.

Su Yue walked up to Dali and saw her reaching into the shoulder bag that Dali was carrying and rummaging around inside.

This appears to be searching for something in a bag, but in reality, the bag is used as a cover to take out a small jar from inside the bag.

“Grandfather, look! This is peach blossom honey.” As she spoke, she handed the small jar in her hand to Old Master Gu, her face full of smiles.

Then, she explained softly, "You only need to take a small amount of this honey each day, mix it with water, and drink it. This has the effect of prolonging life."

These words were not empty words, because this jar of peach blossom honey was produced in his own space and contained wisps of spiritual energy.

If you can take a small amount every day, even if it cannot guarantee a long life, it will definitely be very beneficial to your health.

Lord Gu was a man of rich experience and wide knowledge; he had seen all sorts of good things in the world.

However, he was still filled with joy and emotion at his grandson's act of filial piety.

He accepted the jar of peach blossom honey with a broad smile, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction. He opened it, took a sniff, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good, good, good! My Yuan'er is so thoughtful!"

Then, he happily instructed the servants beside him to properly store the jar of peach blossom honey, and smiled as he promised his grandson, "Grandfather will certainly follow Yuan'er's advice and drink some every day, and will never let down my grandson's good intentions!"

Lord Gu was also looking forward to receiving a gift, but when the meal was served, he still hadn't heard anything about it.

As time ticked by, he grew increasingly dissatisfied and finally couldn't help but let out an angry snort.

If it weren't for the fear of angering the old Marquis Gu, he probably would have already been unable to contain his rage and tied that arrogant brat up and taught him a lesson.

At this moment, the scene in the dining room was quite different.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious as Lord Gu and Su Yue sat at the dining table.

The two ate and chatted about interesting things that happened outside, making quite a scene.

Among them, the old Marquis Gu was the most delighted, his face beaming with a kind smile.

In stark contrast were the gloomy-faced Lord Gu, and his wife Jiang Ying, who also looked unwell, along with her two children.

After lunch, Lord Gu personally escorted Su Yue to the courtyard that had been prepared in advance.

After seeing off Old Master Gu, he slammed the wooden door of the courtyard shut with a loud bang.

As soon as her third brother sat down, Su Yue pushed the warm and smooth red jade pendant in her hand toward Gu Yuan and said softly, "Here, take this. After all, it was a special compensation from your grandfather." As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Yuan with clear eyes.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan did not reach out to take the jade pendant. Instead, he expressionlessly pushed it back to Su Yue and said firmly, "There's no need for that. From now on, you don't need to hand over anything to me."

Now I'm nothing more than your personal maid, Yuan Yue. As for Gu Yuan... just pretend he's no longer alive.

After saying this, he slowly lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Su Yue.

Seeing how serious Gu Yuan was, Su Yue stopped refusing. "Then I'll return it to you after I leave the Gu family. Don't say no, alright. You must be tired. Go back and rest!"

Su Yue noticed that Gu Yuan's face had turned pale since he returned to the Gu family, so she told him to go and rest.

"Okay, I'll go rest now. Call me if you need anything." Gu Yuan returned to the next room with mixed feelings.
