章 751: 347 Mother and Son United (An update)_3

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in her heart: "Weren't there eight? Why are there only five now?"

If she normally ate three a day, and she was told she could have an extra five, wouldn't that make eight?

Well, she had held back today, and hadn't eaten a single one.

With her mouth full of candy, Gu Jiao ambiguously replied, "There are only five... If you don't believe me, try to think again..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang replayed her earlier words in her mind.

"Eat three candies a day?"

She hadn't agreed to it at the time.

Then the lass said—

"Four?"

"Hmm... five?"

It seemed that she indeed didn't add "more" to those last two sentences.

Empress Dowager Zhuang slammed her fist on the petition!

...How careless she had been!

Gu Jiao treated her grandmother gently, primarily respecting the older woman's opinions. She explained everything transparently, without hiding anything from her.
