Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Xiaoyu is dead.

Or he died in a tragic way, with no body left and burned to ashes by the raging fire.

Who can accept this?

The sky is falling and the earth is falling, that's all.

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi could no longer hold on and fainted.

When she woke up, it was already late at night.

There was still a candle lit in the bedroom. Wei Ci was lying on a table not far away, breathing shallowly, as if he was asleep.

Gu Huanxi lay there without moving and closed his eyes again. Everything that happened before he fainted echoed in his mind again, causing a dull pain in his heart.

She kept adjusting her breathing and cheering herself up. Now that Xu Huaiyi was gone, she was the pillar of the family. She couldn't fall down, as she still had many things that needed her to handle personally.

She still has a daughter. If she collapses, what will happen to her daughter? And the entire Bo Mansion will become a mess.

The most important thing was Xiaoyu's matter. It happened so suddenly that she was so shocked and sad that she didn't have time to think about it carefully. All her rational emotions were taken away. Only now did she vaguely feel that something was wrong.

She and Xu Huaiyi were just struggling with how to arrange for Xiaoyu to restore her identity in the future so that everyone would be happy and no one would be hurt, but then something happened to Xiaoyu. This moment was really too coincidental.

And all coincidences are often intentional.

But why?

She was sure that Gu Xiaoyu's identity had not been exposed. After all, for safety reasons, Han Jun had been guarding Xiaoyu in the name of martial arts master. Even King Qi was not told that Xiaoyu was living in Gu's family, so no one else would know.

Therefore, those masked men who caught the small fish could not have been sent by the King of Chu or the King of Qin.

Since it wasn't them, Xiaoyu shouldn't have been silenced.

After all, he is just the adopted son of the Gu family now. If he is really Xu Huaiyi's enemy, he should directly capture A Li in order to avenge him.

If the purpose of kidnapping is to get money, then killing is even more inappropriate.

Moreover, she thought carefully about what the Sun family's secret guard had said. The masked man only targeted Gu Xiaoyu and did not attack the other children. If he was a real kidnapper, would he treat them so differently?

Obviously not for the money.

That person is Tu Gu Xiaoyu.

But no matter how I explain it, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense that anyone would want to kill Gu Xiaoyu.

Also, she was aware of Han Jun's abilities. When it came to protecting the little fish, he was very tight and no one could get in. How could such a big mistake happen?

He is the only one who protects without hesitation?

Both the Sun family and the Lu family arranged secret guards to follow, how could Han Jun be unprepared?

To be honest, she didn't believe it.

Even if he really didn't have any, Han Jun should have some means to save his life. He is an old hand in this world. Moreover, when he took Xiaoyu away from Prince Qi's Mansion, he was chased all the way and he managed to escape death. How could he not be able to survive this situation now?

Also, Han Jun has privately trained so many people for Xiaoyu. At the critical moment of life and death, couldn't he be reluctant to call them for rescue?

All signs indicate that Han Jun's behavior is very wrong.

The more Gu Huanxi pondered, the clearer her mind became. If her guess was true, then Han Jun was really...

After lying down for a while, she adjusted her mood, slowly sat up, and began to put on her clothes.

Wei Ci heard the noise and rushed over excitedly, her voice still tearful, "Madam, are you finally awake?"

Gu Huanxi asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Wei Ci looked at her cautiously. "It's been more than three hours. Doctor Jiao has examined you and said it's okay. It will be better for your health if you rest more..."

"Well, where's A-li?"

"Don't worry, the young lady has already fallen asleep. Before going to bed, Doctor Jiao made a bowl of soothing soup for her."

"What about the rest?"

"Everything is fine..."

Wei Ci didn't know how to explain it in detail. Everything was fine, but everyone was in a heavy mood. They were so sad that they couldn't eat or sleep. They were immersed in grief and couldn't extricate themselves.

Gu Xiaoyu has been in this family for three years, and everyone around him dislikes him.

The news of his death was a nightmare that no one wanted to face.

"Where's Han Jun?" Gu Huanxi asked, trying to control herself, her voice still trembling slightly, "Is he back?"

Wei Ci said with difficulty, "He's back. He was carried back. He's bleeding a lot. But don't worry, Doctor Jiao has taken care of him. He said his life is not in danger. He just needs to rest for a few days..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and she didn't know how to continue.

Fortunately, Gu Huanxi did not ask any further questions, but said, "Accompany me to meet Han Jun."

"Ah? Now?" Wei Ci was shocked and wanted to say something, but when she saw Gu Huanxi's cold expression, she swallowed the words she wanted to persuade him and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Madam is already feeling so uncomfortable, what else is inappropriate?

Isn't it just meeting a stranger in the middle of the night? With her by his side, who would dare to gossip?

Furthermore, the lady must have met Han Jun to ask about the young master. This is human nature. As a mother, she certainly doesn't want to wait for a moment.

Wei Ci thought it through, and walked with ease, leading the way with a lantern in hand.

Gu Huanxi was walking behind, and as she got closer to Han Jun's yard, she became uncontrollably nervous.

What if she guessed wrong, what if the bad news was true, what if it wasn't acting, then how should she face it?

As if he expected someone to come at night, the door to Han Jun's yard was not closed. As soon as the master and servant entered, the room on the east side of the main house became lit.

The person who stayed here to take care of Han Jun was not an outsider, but Hu Yingjie.

He and Wei Ci had been married last winter, and because Wei Ci didn't want to leave the Gu family, he had been living in the Jingning Earl's Mansion.

The young couple met, exchanged glances, and then tactfully waited outside the door.

Gu Huanxi took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

Han Jun was dressed neatly and sitting in a chair, obviously waiting for her.

If it weren't for the smell of medicine in the room, the bandage on his arm, and his extremely pale and ugly face, Gu Huanxi would have thought that he was not injured at all.

"You..." Gu Huanxi looked at him with a complicated look, "You knew I would come?"

Han Jun nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and asked, "I heard that you fainted. Are you okay now?"

Gu Huanxi did not answer but asked, "I heard that you were stabbed several times. What did Doctor Jiao say?"

Han Jun coughed, picked up the cup and drank a sip of herbal tea. "They are just superficial injuries. You won't die. But you, Doctor Jiao said, are mentally injured..."

Gu Huanxi looked at him straight in the eyes, not caring about the differences between men and women, "How can you not be heartbroken when you lose your son? I didn't spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, which means I'm strong. But you, as your uncle, seem to have accepted it very calmly..."

She tested it tentatively, with one heart hanging in the air and one foot on the cliff. Life or death depended on only one answer.

Han Jun turned his face away slightly, thankful that he was wearing a mask, otherwise, he really couldn't bear it. He coughed a few more times, and then whispered carefully, "He's fine, you don't have to feel bad."

It is self-evident who he is.

Gu Huanxi's mood at this moment was like a death row prisoner who was suddenly declared not guilty and released. After all the ups and downs, he felt a little dizzy.

"You, are you okay?" Han Jun was startled when he saw her holding up her head and her body swaying. Fearing that she didn't understand, he quickly added, "Jin'er is fine. His arrest was a show I arranged. Those masked men are my people. How could they hurt Jin'er? Don't worry, he is safe now."

Gu Huanxi closed her eyes and finally heard the answer she wanted, which confirmed her guess was true. Xiaoyu was not dead, and everything was just a play directed and acted by Han Jun himself. But after she knew the truth, apart from the momentary excitement and surprise, her feelings afterwards were really indescribable.

She understood Han Jun's purpose, but at the moment, she couldn't feel grateful at all.

This plan is too risky. If you are not careful, it will cause irreversible consequences. Moreover, the people related to Xiaoyu are really heartbroken. Are the tears shed in vain? How long will it take to get through being kept in the dark?

But she couldn't blame him, after all, Han Jun was helping them.

In this way, she and Xu Huaiyi will be able to get out of this situation, and the reputation of King Qi and Xiaoyu will not be tarnished, and everyone will be happy.

Their previous conflicts were resolved in one go, and as the beneficiary, she was too embarrassed to blame others.

but……

Gu Huanxi took a few deep breaths, trying to hold back, but still couldn't hold back any longer. She stared at him and asked through gritted teeth, "Couldn't you have told me in advance? At least give me a hint so I could be mentally prepared!"

He had to stab her with a knife out of the blue. Even if she was not his biological daughter, the pain at that moment would have been like being pierced by a thousand arrows. Otherwise, she would not have fainted.

Han Jun suppressed his guilty conscience and explained confidently, "If you knew in advance that you were acting, would you still be able to react so realistically?"

"I, I can pretend..."

"How can you hide it from others? Don't forget, Doctor Jiao is a miracle doctor. Whether you are pretending to faint or you really fainted from grief, he will know it after taking your pulse. Then what's the point of all my arrangements?"

"That was too sudden..."

"It's not sudden. I have been preparing for this day for more than two months."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

For Han Jun, it was not sudden, as it was the result of careful planning. But for her, it was like a bolt from the blue without any preparation or foreshadowing.

She really didn't want to argue with Han Jun, so she suppressed her temper and asked, "Where is Xiaoyu now?"

"It's on my farm. Don't worry. It's very safe there. There are hundreds of people protecting it."

"Did he know about it?"

"I don't know. If he knew, he would most likely not cooperate."

"What are you going to do after that?"

"Gu Xiaoyu is gone. He died in a fire and was burned to ashes. I have personally packed a jar of ashes and brought it back. I will use that jar of ashes to bury him. You and Huaiyi have the final say on where to bury him.

As for the identity of the masked man, it has been found out. He is the remnant of the palace coup that night. His purpose is to capture Gu Xiaoyu and threaten Huaiyi to murder King Qi. But Gu Xiaoyu refuses to cooperate. Huaiyi raised him, so how can he put Huaiyi in a dilemma?

So he deliberately angered the masked man, who tried to teach him a lesson, but accidentally killed him, and finally simply burned him to death to vent his anger.

Do you think it's okay to continue like this?"

"Okay, that's great. Your arrangements are really thorough!"

Han Jun pretended that he didn't hear her sarcasm and smiled, "As long as you agree, I'll tell you in advance this time so you're prepared. You have to act more realistically later to avoid people getting suspicious."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

"Oh, by the way, in order not to distract Huaiyi, let's not write to him about this matter. It's not easy to tell the truth in a letter. How many days will he be miserable? What do you think?"

"You're right." Gu Huanxi slowly stood up and changed the subject, "Where's the jar? I'll take it back."

Han Jun bent down, took out a white porcelain jar from under the table, and casually pushed it in front of her.

Gu Huanxi stared at him for a moment before hugging him in his arms. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality and absurdity. Did three years of getting along really exist?

After more than a thousand days and nights, all that was left for her was this small jar?

Han Jun suddenly struggled to stand up. He had a leg injury and it was difficult for him to stand up, but he still managed to hold on and bowed to her solemnly. "I am very grateful for your kindness. From now on, if you need me, Han Jun, I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation."

Gu Huanxi didn't want to stay here anymore. He said calmly, "I adopted Xiaoyu not to get anyone's thanks." Then he turned and left.

After returning to the bedroom, Gu Huanxi sent Wei Ci to bed, and she went into the RV.

Unexpectedly, my daughter also sleeps here. She has her own small bed in the car, but she rarely spends the night here.

Gu Huanxi didn't wake her up. Instead, he went to the kitchen to boil a few eggs, wrapped them in a towel, and carefully rolled them around her eyes.

After that, she leaned against the head of the bed and waited. She was not sure whether Xu Huaiyi would come, but she didn't want to do anything except wait.

Fortunately, at five o'clock, Xu Huaiyi appeared in the RV, but his hair was messy, his face was covered with blood and dirt, his clothes were tattered, and he looked in a dishevel.

Gu Huanxi was shocked when he saw this. He didn't even bother to tell him about Gu Xiaoyu. He quickly jumped over from the bed and asked, "What happened? Did you fight with the assassin again? Are you injured?"

"Well, another group of assassins came. Don't worry, I'm fine. It was someone else's blood. The assassins used explosives this time, which made it so embarrassing." After Xu Huaiyi explained, he cursed again, "They always choose the middle of the night to assassinate. They are all night owls. They don't sleep? It's endless. It's enough. If the King of Qi doesn't die, you can't live anymore, right? How fucking naive! Even if the King of Qi dies, Emperor Jianxing will not adopt the lineage of the King of Qin. Will he support his own grandson?"

The King of Qi's sons did not die out. His newly married wife gave birth to a son, and he is now protected very well.

"Is the King of Qi okay?"

"It's okay, he's very lucky, but several of his personal guards died..." Xu Huaiyi said as he went to the bathroom, "I'll tell you in detail after I wash myself. I'm so uncomfortable with this dirty body..."

"Well, go ahead, I'll get you something to eat."

"Let's have wonton stew, wife. There's some ready-made in the refrigerator. Just boil it and season it."

"it is good……"
