I want to see the empress, I want to see Gu Ting!

Call Gu Ting to see the old man!

Unfilial son, doesn't he even listen to the old man? You go ask him if he still has my father in his heart.

Gu Zhili was furious, he was locked in the study room, guarded by Gu Ting's personal soldiers at the door, he couldn't move an inch.

However, the person he hates the most is Mrs. Xie.

He never expected that after decades, the Xie family would reveal the old things.

If he had known this, he should have dealt with Mrs. Xie early on, and would never let her live to this day.

This poisonous woman! Idiot! If the old man is unlucky, can she benefit from it? Doesn't he understand the principle that a husband and wife are one body, one prospers and one loses both?

Gu Zhili pounded the table.

A lot of age, quite able to toss.

Boom boom boom...

Someone knocked on the rear window.

Gu Zhili paused for a moment, then hurried to the back window, opened a crack, it was the butler Gu Quan.

Gu Quan was very nervous. In winter, his forehead was covered with sweat.

He breathed out, and whispered: Someone is watching, and the little one has to leave after saying a few words.

Say it! Gu Zhili reminded him to hurry up.

The housekeeper, Gu Quan, lowered his voice and said, This matter has alarmed the empress. The empress has sent Eunuch Qian to investigate this matter. She will probably ask the younger one for questioning. What can the old man say?

Gu Zhili's eyes were fierce, and he said word by word: What to say, what not to say, don't need me to teach you.

The housekeeper, Gu Quan, hurriedly said: The young one doesn't know anything. When my wife passed away, the young one was just an errand boy who didn't know anything.

Very good! Gu Zhili nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, Where is Mrs. Xie?

I was locked in the room, and my uncle arranged for someone to guard it. It's delusional for the little one to take a step closer.

Gu Zhili gritted his teeth, This unfilial son, does he know what he is doing? If this matter gets out, doesn't he know what the consequences will be?

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized.

It was decades ago again. Under normal circumstances, it is too late to cover up, and no one will take the initiative to lift the cover of the truth.

Sometimes it is a kind of happiness to be able to treat what happened as if you don't know it didn't happen.

This is the attitude that a mature family leader should have.

However, Gu Ting insisted on lifting the cover and investigating the truth, which meant that he even lost the face of the Gu family.

Does the truth matter?

Comparable to family honor? Is it as important as a living person?

What Gu Ting did, in Gu Zhili's view, was childish and completely unreasonable.

This is not what a mature head of a family should do.

Gu Zhili gritted his teeth, Ask for the old man, is the dead or the living more important? Even if he hates the old man, doesn't he think about the children? The reputation of the Gu family is not good for him or the children. Even if there is The empress protects him, and if his reputation is bad, it will be bad, and no one can change it. Don't forget to remind him that he can't rely on the Pei family now! The only thing he can rely on is the Gu family.

The butler Gu Quan nodded repeatedly, Is there anything else to say, old man?

Gu Zhili said angrily: Tell him again that, as the Gu family, he has the responsibility to safeguard the reputation of the Gu family. There is no need to dig out the past. Also, you tell him solemnly that the old man has never harmed anyone. The Su family is seriously ill. Everyone knows about the fact that he died without treatment. Tell him not to mess around. You can't believe what Xie's bitch said, Xie is clearly trying to sow discord, so she can't see the harmony of this family.

Someone is coming.

Gu Quan hurriedly said: Master, the little one is leaving. Master, take care of your health and wait patiently. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light.

After speaking, Gu Quan ran away.

Gu Zhili hurriedly closed the window, freezing him to death.

He rubbed his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the brazier to warm himself up.

snort!

The truth came out?

Where did the truth come from.

There is no such thing as truth in this world.

It was as if his heart was on fire, it was on fire, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Jiu is simply the nemesis.

Being a queen concubine didn't do him any favors.

If he knew today, why would he be happy for Gu Jiu that day.

However, Gu Zhili was always puzzled. In his memory, Gu Jiu was very well-behaved before he got married, and he was relatively close to his father.

I don't know since when, her attitude towards him has become more and more bad, more and more indifferent, and sometimes he can feel her disgust.

What went wrong?

When people are old, their memory is not as good as when they were young and strong.

Looking back at his memory, Gu Zhili couldn't figure out when the relationship between father and daughter began to be full of gunpowder.

Does the old man feel sorry for her?

The old man has prepared a dowry of 40,000 taels for her, and he has fulfilled his father's responsibility. What else is she dissatisfied with?

The old man has never troubled her, so why does she hate the old man?

Unfilial girl!

Gu Zhili cursed alone in the study, venting his anger.

I worked so hard to bring up my daughter, but I ended up raising a white-eyed wolf.

I don't believe it. The Gu family's reputation is bad, and she can benefit from it.

She treats this old man like this, isn't she afraid that everyone in the world will scold her for being unfilial?

Gu Zhili yelled.

The soldiers were afraid that if they heard something they shouldn't hear, they would cause trouble to their upper body, so they hurriedly reported it to Gu Ting, the new Taiping uncle.

Bang!

Gu Ting kicked the small stool over.

He held back his anger, At this point, he still doesn't stop. He even dared to let Gu Quan send a message to warn me. I don't think he has any remorse at all.

The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so don't worry. Pei Man advised him.

boom!

Gu Ting slammed his fist on the table, What is he concerned about? What reason does he have to hate his mother? No, I have to ask him personally.

Pei Man stopped him, Don't go! If you go to ask him now, you won't be able to find out anything. It's better to wait for Eunuch Qian's investigation results.

Gu Ting looked like a trapped animal, You told me to do nothing but just wait?

Why don't you go back to Beijing Daying to practice.

If there is anger, practice a lot, and it will all be vented.

Pei Man's plan was perfect, but Gu Ting was not happy.

I asked for leave, and I don't have to go back to Daying before Lantern Festival.

Pei Man frowned, Then you go to the school grounds to practice your own soldiers, anyway, don't be idle.

It's easy to think wildly when you're free.

Gu Ting took a deep breath, ran out without saying a word.

...

It's not easy to find out the truth about what happened decades ago.

Those servants back then were basically all dead.

Qian Fu went through all the relevant household registers, mobilized all his spies, and finally found a former Gu family servant who was still alive and who probably knew the truth of the year and had changed his name and surname.

After some coercion and temptation, the old man's mouth was finally pried open.

...The second son is very feminine and likes women to take the initiative... The young mistress comes from a scholarly family, dignified and elegant, but the second son thinks she is dull and boring. Since the two got married, their relationship has not been harmonious... The most serious time, The young master started thinking that he shouldn't have, and the two quarreled extremely fiercely... For a long time, the second young master didn't enter Young Mistress's room...

The young master in the old man's mouth refers to Gu Zhili when he was young.

The second young lady is the Su family when she was young.

Qian Fu asked, You just said that your young master has thoughts that he shouldn't have? Let's ask, what is on his mind?

The old man was very old, his teeth had fallen out, and he was senile, as if he would pass away at any time.

These young people live incognito and live in poverty.

He put the weight of his body on the crutches, and said while recalling: My son fell in love with the cousin of the second young lady who has not yet given five clothes, and took advantage of the banquet to make a fuss. The second young lady knew about it...the quarrel was very loud... ...that cousin who hadn't released the fifth server...then disappeared...

It's gone, is it dead?

I don't know. You don't see people when you're born, and you don't see a corpse after death... After a while, the young master started to enter and leave the second young lady's room again. At that time, the second young lady was pregnant with the empress.

Why has this matter never been mentioned before? Is there no one to say anything about the disappearance of a girl in the Su family?

I don't know! Maybe the Su family didn't dare to speak out for fear of losing face.

Did your young master have a concubine back then?

never heard of that.

The little girl of the Su family has an affair with your son. Why doesn't the aunt of the Gu family know that there is such a person? If our family did not miscalculate the time, the Xie family had already entered the Gu family at that time.

The second son and the young mistress didn't say anything. The second son is wronged. The young mistress comes from a scholarly family, so it's embarrassing. Naturally, she can't tarnish her natal family's reputation.

Is it possible for your young master to hate the Su family because of this?

Young Master is not a broad-minded person, and it is not surprising that he does anything.

Did the Su clan be poisoned and killed by your young master?

do not know!

How come you don't know. You were his personal servant back then, can he keep things from you?

The old man pulled his tattered voice like a leaky bellows.

He let out a few meaningless roars, I forgot everything about that year, I don't remember, you are asking the wrong person.

Old man, don't think about yourself, you should also think about future generations. Su is the empress's biological mother, and the empress is determined to find out the truth. Do you think you can handle it without knowing it? You are old and dying. , Our family really can't do anything to you. But your descendants, crushing them to death is like crushing an ant. Are you sure you want to play tricks with our family?

Qian Fu's tone was very soft, his eyes were soft, but the words he said were full of murderous intent, which made people's liver and gallbladder split.

Truly intimidating language never needs to be yelled at.

A single word is enough to make one's heart tremble.

The old man tightly grasped the faucet of the cane, I, I... I only know that during Su Shi's bedridden period, the young master has been very hyperactive, and he personally told another servant, Gu Cong, to find medicinal materials for Su Shi to take care of his body.

Where's Gu Congren?

died.

How did you die?

Drunk and fell into the water to die.

When did this happen?

That's right, it was half a month before Su's death.

It turned out that he died before Su's death?

Yes! Gu Cong loves to drink a few sips, but he never thought he would fall into the water drunk.

No one suspects the cause of death?

no no……

to be frank!

Not at first. When Su Shi died of illness, I saw that Young Master was excited, laughing in private, drinking and celebrating, so I was vaguely suspicious. But I didn't tell anyone about it, and I didn't mention it all these years.

Is there anything else?

No, no more. I was just an errand boy back then, that's all I know.
