With the status of Minister of Dali Temple and the emperor's acquiescence, Gu Ming closed the case in just two days and cleared Liu Ruling's father's innocence.

And Liu Ruling naturally recovered her status as an official daughter, and the compensation money from the court was enough to allow her to live a prosperous life.

In this regard, Liu Ruling was not interested in the court.

Of course, there are more or less factors of pity for flowers and jade, after all, there are not many women like Liu Ruling who are beautiful and versatile.

Gu Ming's third act of fire...was to pay for his own money and invite his colleagues from Dali Temple to have a drink at the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.

After all, as the leader of Dali Temple, his future work still needs the active response and support of the people below.

He is different from other officials. When other officials take office, the first thing they think of is to make prestige, meritorious service and so on.

What Gu Ming needs is a harmonious atmosphere. It is easy to make his subordinates fear, but it is not easy to make his subordinates respect him sincerely.

After familiarizing himself with the affairs of Dali Temple for a few days, Gu Ming took a leave of absence and prepared to return to his hometown for the New Year.

It stands to reason that when a new official takes office for the first time, the more years pass, the more he has to stay and guard.

However, this was granted by the emperor before, so Gu Ming was naturally happy to go home and relax for a while.

……

Yasukuni Mansion.

Gu Ming came to visit with a lot of gifts, after all, the year is over, so he has to express it.

Under the guidance of his servants, Gu Ming visited Luo Xiao first, and after chatting for a while, he couldn't help asking: "By the way, Mr. Luo, I wonder if Miss Luo is in the mansion?"

"Yes, yes, it's just..."

"What's the matter, Duke Luo?"

"Cough, nothing..."

"The junior will take his leave first, and will visit Lord Luo later."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite..."

Not long after, Gu Ming found Luo Yan who was hanging a lantern in the courtyard under the leadership of Luo Mansion servants.

"Young master, why are you here?"

Seeing Gu Ming, Jin'er greeted him with a face full of surprise.

Gu Ming couldn't help laughing and said: "Why? From your tone, it seems that I don't welcome me?"

"Hee hee, how come..." Jin'er stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

This question was indeed wrong, and she was only a little surprised for a moment.

"Don't be surprised, Mr. Gu, this girl has always been like this..."

Luo Yan came forward with a smile, blessed her first, and then explained with a smile.

"It's okay...Miss Luo, why are you still hanging the lantern yourself?"

Gu Ming looked at many large and small lanterns hanging in the courtyard and asked.

"Anyway, it's okay to be idle...By the way, Mr. Gu, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away. Where do you plan to spend it?"

"Well, I'm planning to tell you about it. I'll go back to my hometown in the afternoon, and go back to my hometown for the New Year."

"Oh... I also said, if you have time, we will go to a play together."

"After the new year, I will invite Miss Luo to the theater."

"Alright, let's read the Legend of the White Snake you wrote..."

The two walked and chatted.

While chatting happily, Mrs. Luo suddenly walked into the courtyard.

"Mother!"

When Luo Yan saw her mother's figure, she stepped forward to greet her.

"Meet Mrs. Luo!"

Gu Ming also stepped forward to greet him.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu for his promotion!"

Mrs. Luo returned a salute with a smile.

"Thank you ma'am!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Gu, the speed of your promotion is simply unprecedented and unprecedented..."

"Where is it, it's just luck..."

After a few words of politeness, under Mrs. Luo's gesture, the three of them went to the corridor and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Luo said with a straight face: "Master Gu, since you came to see Yan'er again today, I have something to say... I want to ask Mr. Gu, but I hope Mr. Gu will not be offended."

"Mother!"

Luo Yan seemed to have guessed what her mother wanted to ask, and couldn't help but frowned.

"Yan'er, it's not an option for you to keep avoiding like this. Today, while Mr. Gu is here, we might as well open the skylight and speak honestly."

"Madam Luo has something to say, but it's okay to ask."

Gu Ming smiled.

In fact, he also guessed Mrs. Luo's intentions.

"Master Gu, please forgive my bluntness, after all... this is related to Yan'er's life.

You also know that Yan'er is not young anymore, because of her marriage, everyone in the Luo family is worried.

However, this girl disagrees no matter which family you say, as for the reason, maybe you know it well...

Then I would like to ask Mr. Gu, what do you think about this matter? "

"This……"

Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at Luo Yan.

The two sides exchanged glances.

"Madam Luo, please forgive me for being straightforward, Miss Luo...it is indeed impossible to marry someone else."

Mrs. Luo's eyes widened immediately: "Ah? Mrs. Gu, you... what do you mean by that? What do you mean it's impossible to marry someone else?"

"Mother, don't make things difficult for Mr. Gu, let your daughter speak.

To put it simply, it is absolutely impossible for a daughter to marry anyone except Young Master Gu. "

Hearing this, Gu Ming's expression didn't change a bit.

Although the two never mentioned the matter of marriage, not even a word of love.

However, there is a tacit understanding between the two.

The two of them will come together sooner or later. This is a kind of fate, and no one can change it.

If Mrs. Luo hadn't made it clear to her face, Luo Yan would not have spoken calmly and proactively.

"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about, you dead girl? What on earth...what are you two thinking?

Mr. Gu, I know that you are proud of yourself and have a bright future, but our Yan'er..."

"Mother, this has nothing to do with Mr. Gu's identity, whether he is an official or an ordinary scholar, his daughter's fate is already tied to him.

In fact, I know what you and your father are worried about. It's not that you can't accept Mr. Gu, but the fact that he was married. "

"Isn't that right? To be honest, your father and I are quite satisfied with Mr. Gu. It is our Luo family's blessing to have such a son-in-law.

But, he's married, my daughter, won't you become a concubine when you marry?

You don't need to care, but the Luo family does. If it spreads... Isn't our Luo family a joke? "

At this time, Gu Ming couldn't help but smiled and said: "Madam Luo, what you said is actually a secular view..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but said: "Master Gu, I know that you are not an ordinary person, so you don't need to care about the worldly eyes.

But even if our Luo family is the Duke's mansion, it is still an ordinary family in the final analysis, and Yan'er is also..."

"No, Mrs. Luo, now that I've said this, I can only reveal one thing, your daughter is not an ordinary person."

"what?"

Mrs. Luo froze for a moment, subconsciously glanced at her daughter.

Luo Yan sighed and nodded to her mother.

"Daughter, you... What's the matter with you? What are you hiding from your mother?"

Gu Ming took the initiative to reply: "Madam Luo, Miss Luo is not hiding from you, she is indeed your biological daughter. However, she is different from others, and the specific reason is not convenient for the younger generation to disclose, after all, it involves a secret.

However, there is one thing I can tell you clearly, in ten years, 20 years, 50 years, or even a hundred years, she will still look like this...

Also, if you think about it carefully, is there anything different about Miss Luo since she was a child? "

"This this……"

Mrs. Luo looked messy.

What Gu Ming said had a great impact on her.

According to Gu Ming, in another 100 years, my daughter...wouldn't be old?

Of course, Mrs. Luo might not believe just this sentence.However, the last sentence reminded her.

Since Luo Yan was a child, except for the symptoms of catching a cold and coughing when she was one or two years old, after that... it seems that she has never suffered from any illness again, not even a minor illness such as a cold or a cold.

In the past, Mrs. Luo always thought that her daughter was lucky and in good health, and she was always grateful for it.

But now that Gu Ming reminded her, she finally realized that her daughter's life experience might not be simple.

How could it be possible for a normal person not to suffer from a little bit of pain?

Which one of the young ladies of other people's family is not pampered?After walking a few more steps, he began to pant.

However, Mrs. Luo recalled carefully...it seemed that every time she went out for an outing, her daughter always looked tireless, and the intelligence she displayed since she was a child was also amazing.

"Mother, Mr. Gu didn't lie to you..."

Luo Yan took her mother's hand and said softly.

"Daughter, you...you...tell mother, what's going on with you? Tell mother, okay?"

At this moment, Mrs. Luo's heart was extremely heavy.After all, her daughter was her heart and soul, and so many mysteries came out all of a sudden, which made her very upset.

"Mother, you don't have to think too much. In short, you should remember that at least in this life, your daughter is your biological daughter, and you are her biological mother."

"My good daughter..."

Mrs. Luo couldn't help holding her daughter in her arms, tears rolling down her face.

This is not sadness, but an indescribable and unclear exclamation and emotion.

"Mother, you should treat this matter as a secret, and don't tell it, including your father... at least don't tell it now."

"But... you... If you really want to marry Mr. Gu, how should mother explain it?"

"It's okay. At least for a few years, my daughter will still stay at home and won't get married."

After hearing this, Mrs. Luo finally felt better.

Things have come to this, and it can only be delayed for a few years...

"Then what does Mr. Gu mean?"

Mrs. Luo looked at Gu Ming with some anxiety.

"Hehe, Madam Luo, don't worry, what Miss Luo means is the meaning of the younger generation."

"You two really don't intend to reveal a little bit? Even a little bit is fine."

"This……"

Gu Ming hesitated.

"Mother, don't ask Mr. Gu, and my daughter will tell you a little later, okay?"

At this time, Luo Yan's face became a little shy.
