Chapter 70
Qingyun Kingdom, Yandu
Gu Xiangfu, backyard
"Miss! Miss! Something bad is going to happen!" the maidservant shouted in panic.

"Hush!" Gu Fengxi grinned and gestured for silence, raised the fishing rod with her white hands, and whispered, "The big fish is going to take the bait!"

The maid Chunmei almost fainted from anxiety, seeing her young lady's innocent and happy face, she cried "Wow!" in anxiety!
"Miss...Master is in prison!"

Gu Fengxi was startled and threw away the fishing rod in her hand!
"Chunmei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The maid hurriedly nodded, wiping her tears and sobbing.

"Miss, it's true! It's absolutely true! The news from the big house! The master was detained by His Majesty in the palace early, and then he went to prison for some reason!"

Gu Fengxi was confused.

"Then why did you go to jail? What did Dad do wrong?"

Chunmei stomped her feet anxiously, "This—how does this servant know! Miss, stop playing and go to the front hall to see Madam! Madam fainted immediately after hearing the bad news!"

"Ah?! Old lady!" Gu Fengxi raised her skirt and put it on her knees, and ran wildly.

Chunmei hurriedly chased after her, shouting: "Miss! Slow down! You lifted your skirt again. Madam will be angry when she sees it! Madam is already fainting, you can't make her faint again!"

When Gu Fengxi rushed to the front hall in a hurry, Mrs. Gu had already woken up and was wiping her tears with her sleeves, crying very sadly.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Madam Gu raised her head, tears were dripping on her gentle face.

"Axi, come here quickly, my mother has something to tell you."

Gu Fengxi blinked her bright eyes and asked worriedly: "Mom, dad, is he... okay?"

"You don't understand government affairs." Mrs. Gu sniffed, and grabbed her daughter's hand nervously, "Axi, your father is in jail right now. Sentenced to exile. Most of the female family members in the mansion will fall into prostitution, you pack your bags quickly and escape from the dog hole in the backyard."

Gu Fengxi said "Huh?", dumbfounded.

"I... ran away? Can I go into exile together? My mother, I don't want to be separated from you! Father also promised me that he would accompany me to the pond to fish for food."

Gu Xiangye and his wife have only one son. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu gave birth to a pearl, and she gave birth to a little daughter Gu Fengxi when she was over forty.

The prime minister and his wife taught their son Gu Hengzhi to be outstanding in both literary and military skills.The son made great contributions on the frontier battlefield at a young age and was the world-famous Lord Gu who guarded the border.

The prime minister had a daughter in his old age, and he doted on her very much, and because Feng Xi was not in good health since she was a child, she almost grew up in the palm of her parents' hands.

Excessive protection made her innocent and ignorant of the world.

Mrs. Gu was also reluctant to part with her daughter, but she really couldn't help it.

"No! It's no small matter for your father to annoy the Holy Majesty this time. If it wasn't for your brother's military exploits, our family would have suffered a long time ago. You can leave now, and you won't be able to leave after the imperial decree comes down."

Gu Fengxi asked pitifully: "Then where are you and dad going in exile? I will look for you when the time comes."

"I can't find it." Mrs. Gu said in a low voice: "When the Holy Spirit dies, he will naturally let me and your father go. I have already sent a message to your elder brother Feige, and he will find a way to rescue us soon. The most important thing right now It is to protect you from leaving and not falling into slavery or prostitution."

"Then where should I go?" Feng Xi asked with a confused look on her face.

Mrs. Gu replied: "Our mansion just bought two new maidservants the day before yesterday, and they have not yet been enslaved. I will let them replace you and Chunmei, and you will not be wanted by then. Let Chunmei take you to Yancheng in the south Go to your father's sworn brother, and wait for the family to be safe before picking you up."

"That--"

"Stop asking!" Mrs. Gu pushed her hurriedly, "Chunmei, have you packed your baggage? Send the lady away quickly!"
