She was not familiar with Shao Xingjian, but most of what she had heard in her past and present lives were rumors about his integrity, so she did not dare to make a conclusion about this man easily.

But she didn't believe Shao Xingjian, but believed Shao Wei.

When she came back, Shao Wei told her that she could go to Shao Xingjian if she encountered any difficult problems, so this person was trustworthy. Gu Qinghe thought that maybe when she met Shao Xingjian again one day, she could ask him about the details of Lin Cong's death.

"What about the Yao Mansion?" Gu Qinghe thought of Aunt Liu when she asked, "How is the baby in Aunt Liu's belly?"

"Yao Shiliang has hired many doctors to take good care of the baby. It seems that Madam Liu is planning to give birth to the child. I haven't heard of any commotion in the Yao Mansion these days."

Uncle Fu thought for a moment, "However, Yao Fangzhi left the capital after Lin Cong's death. It is still unknown where he went. Yao Shiliang said that he felt that Yao Fangzhi's character was not stable enough, so he sent him out to gain experience."

Whether it is for experience or to avoid disaster, I am afraid only this father and son know.

Gu Qinghe came back to his senses from his thoughts, only to see Uncle Fu had a strange look on his face, as if he had something else to say.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghe was puzzled. "Is there anything else?"

Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "During the time when the young lady was in Chizhou, the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion went to the Duke's Mansion many times. A few days ago, I saw the Prime Minister's wife go to the Duke's Mansion to pick her up. The old lady personally saw the mother and daughter off."

The reason why he hesitated was that he felt that Shao Wei was a good person and could be considered a reliable person.

Before he found his wife, Uncle Fu was ready to die for the Chen family at any time. But if he died, the girl would be alone in the world.

Therefore, he would confidently observe and consider every person who approached Gu Qinghe.

After going back and forth, only Shao Wei caught his eye. Of course, this was based on the fact that his girl also had feelings for him.

Now that he has found his wife, Uncle Fu feels a little relieved. Even if he dies, the girl and his wife will be able to keep him company and he won't be alone.

So she thought about it again. If the people in the Duke's Mansion favored the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the girl would definitely suffer a lot if she married into their family in the future. Instead of that, it would be better to give up the idea as soon as possible.

As soon as Gu Qinghe saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking.

He chuckled, somewhat helplessly, "What are you thinking about."

She said softly, "Let's not talk about what happened between me and Shao Wei. The people in the Duke's Mansion can't affect me at all. There is no point in fighting for some things. Whoever it belongs to will get it without fighting for it. If I have to spend a lot of effort to fight for it, then I would rather not have it."

"Besides, the Chen family's affairs have only revealed the tip of the iceberg. Before my brother is vindicated, my love for him will not hold me back."

Uncle Fu heaved a sigh of relief, "I feel relieved when the girl said that."

However, after hearing what Uncle Fu said, the old lady understood why she wanted to bring Luo Feng to her place.

I think it was to mention Li Qiulian from time to time in front of Luo Feng, to increase her presence, so that the impression she made in Luo Feng's mind would gradually improve, and he could get closer to her slowly.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see how much Shao Wei values ​​Luo Feng.

Li Qiulian attributed Shao Wei's concern for Gu Qinghe entirely to Luo Feng. It must be because Luo Feng liked her that Shao Wei cared about Gu Qinghe.

Gu Qinghe didn't really want to guess the old lady's thoughts. After all, she was the only person in the entire Duke's Mansion who was kind to Shao Wei and the only person Shao Wei cared about.

After leaving her residence, Gu Qinghe went to Yuexin Tower to find Huo Shibei.

When she took out the token that Princess Wu had given her, she clearly saw the ripples in Huo Shibei's eyes.

He almost snatched the token from Gu Qinghe's hand, clenching his teeth so tightly that Gu Qinghe could even hear the sour, crunching sound of the teeth rubbing against each other.

"Where did this come from?" He stared at Gu Qinghe.

"The Princess of Wu gave it to me. She said she found it in the study of the King of Wu."

Huo Shibei knew basically everything about their affairs in Chizhou and their next plans, but he did not doubt the reason why Princess Wu gave the token to Gu Qinghe.

He held the token in his hand for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "This token was the one my father wore when he was first appointed as a general. He has been in the military camp for so many years, and he has changed many tokens. The troops he led have changed many times, but this token is the only one he still carries with him, even though it has long been useless."

"After he got into trouble, I went to Bazipo and searched for a long time, but I never saw the token."

It is not difficult to guess why this token appeared on King Wu.

Princess Wu must have known about this middle layer, which is why she gave the token to Gu Qinghe.

She was worried that Gu Qinghe's power alone would not be enough to eliminate King Wu, but with the addition of Huo Shibei, who had murdered his father, that might not be the case.

It seems that the Princess of Wu really hates the King of Wu now.

Huo Shibei clenched the token tightly, and the scene in front of Bazipo flashed in his mind.

He seemed to see the scene of his father being attacked from all sides. While his father was leading the soldiers to fight desperately, the King of Wu was waiting and watching carelessly in the dark, as if the blood and lives were just a big show performed for these people.

After the show, he walked up to his father and took the token from him as if he was searching for trophies. Perhaps it was to remember the joy of this moment, or perhaps he wanted to keep a souvenir and take it out to look at it from time to time to relive the excitement inspired by the blood.

After leaving Huo Shibei, Gu Qinghe was in a gloomy mood all the way.

Speaking of hatred, it is impossible that she hates King Wu less than Huo Shibei.

Although the King of Wu had the token, he might just be the knife that killed General Huoqiu, and the real mastermind behind the scenes might be someone else.

But the one who harmed her mother to this state was indeed King Wu.

When she returned to the general's mansion, as soon as she reached the door, the servant whispered to her, "Miss, the owner of the Beijing Medical Hall wants to see you."

The shopkeeper? Gu Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where is he?"

"The butler has taken him to the front hall and told me to wait for you here. If you don't want to see me, I will tell the butler to drive him away."

"No need." Gu Qinghe waved his hand and walked towards the front hall.

If her guess was correct, the person who wanted to see her was not the shopkeeper.

As she expected, when she arrived at the front hall, Gu Qinghe saw two people sitting and drinking tea.

The shopkeeper stood up immediately when he saw her, with a familiar smile on his face, "Doctor Gu."

The person sitting on the other side, dressed as a medicine boy, also stood up. That face was obviously Qi Mingyue, whom Gu Qinghe had met last night.
