Xiao Liulang was not working overtime tonight, so the two of them walked home to Bishui Alley together.
As soon as they arrived at the front door, a small figure slithered out, pounced on Gu Jiao, hugged her leg and called out in a tone tinged with grievance: "Jiaojiao!"
It was Little Jingkong.
He had been away from Jiaojiao for two days and two nights, and he missed her so much that his little heart ached!
Gu Jiao picked up the little guy from her leg: "Did your great-grandma ask you to come back?"
Little Jingkong replied: "I came back on my own accord!"
It was because Empress Dowager Zhuang could no longer tolerate this little chatterbox. Without Gu Jiao by his side, he would chatter non-stop, so much so that even the little turtle raised by the eunuch Qin became depressed.
Having a great-great-grandson was indeed important, but living to see him was even more important.
