On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, there are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year.

There were snowflakes in the sky, and the whole capital was completely white.

The 'magic stick' Ren Qiu looked at the sky at night and came to the conclusion that this snow was the last snow in the first year of Jingming.

The next one will have to wait until the second year of Jingming.

Several carriages rolled over the snow-covered streets, making creaking noises.

The carriage traveled through the streets and alleys, and finally entered Gu's mansion, which is now Taiping Bo's mansion.

Standing in the wind and snow, Gu Ting saw the carriage entering the side door, so he hurried forward a few steps.

Ma'am!

The car door opened, and a hand stretched out. His slender and fair fingers had pink nails, neither nail polish nor make-up.

Gu Jiu stepped on the small stool and got out of the carriage.

She said to Gu Ting: Don't disturb others! I came here just to meet him and ask him a few words.

Father has been waiting in the study for a long time. Gu Ting lowered his head slightly.

The maid Ah Qing put the white fox cloak on Gu Jiu, Your Majesty, take care of your body.

Holding the brass hand stove in hand, Gu Jiu looked up at the sky, the snowflakes fell on his face, and there was a hint of coolness.

Let Mrs. Xie prepare, maybe I will meet her.

Yes! Gu Ting bowed in response.

The snow in the courtyard has been cleared away, and the ground is wet and slightly slippery.

Gu Jiu followed Gu Ting to the study.

Through the corridor, the study is in sight. But I heard movement from inside, bang bang bang, as if something was being smashed.

Gu Ting sighed, It's like this every day, either scolding or smashing, it doesn't stop for a day.

Gu Jiu asked, Have you talked to him?

Gu Ting shook his head, I want to talk to him, but I'm afraid that nothing will come out and your arrangement will be ruined.

Gu Jiu nodded, Brother, why don't you go in with me.

Is it suitable? Gu Ting was surprised.

Nothing out of place.

It is related to the cause of death of the biological mother, and the elder brother is qualified to attend.

The two siblings walked into the study.

The noise in the study suddenly disappeared, and there was a mess everywhere.

Xu Yousi immediately arranged for his servants to clean up the ground, and asked the servant girl to serve tea again.

The good study room was ruined by Mr. Gu.

The ground was cleaned up, the brewed tea was sent to the study, the charcoal pot was burning vigorously, and the room was quite warm.

After confirming that everything was okay, Xu Yousi bowed and retreated, and closed the door smoothly.

Old man Gu Zhili was panting, he wanted to question, he wanted to vent his anger, but the moment he met Gu Jiu's eyes, he was discouraged.

He was afraid!

He is not afraid of Gu Ting, an unfilial son.

But he was afraid of Gu Jiu from the bottom of his heart.

Just one look can make him calm down.

Come on, come on! Gu Zhili stammered in fear.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and poured tea herself, Let's drink tea!

She put the teacup on the other side of the table and tapped on the table.

Gu Zhili immediately sat down at the other end of the table when he heard the sound, and was so obedient.

Gu Ting secretly sighed, one thing falls one thing, these words are sincere and not deceiving.

No matter how ferocious he looks, he can't compare to his sister drinking tea lightly.

Seeing Gu Zhili sitting down, Gu Jiu said softly, Tell me!

Gu Zhili almost jumped up in panic, he trembled and asked, Tell me, what are you talking about?

The stuttering problem is getting worse.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, Tell me how my mother died.

She, she, she died of a serious illness. Everyone knows about it. You are a queen, so you can't listen to Xie's one-sided words. She is uneasy and kind, she is sowing discord, she just doesn't want to see our family and Harmony.

Gu Zhili said more and more smoothly, and pushed all the responsibilities on Xie's head.

Gu Jiu smiled, Based on Mrs. Xie's words alone, do you think I will talk to you in person?

What, what does this mean?

Gu Zhili was sweating profusely. Why is it so hot in the house? Is the fire in the charcoal basin too big? Should I open a window to let in some air?

He wiped the sweat from his brow, already nervous to the point of being at a loss.

Gu Jiu said casually: The people who served my father back then did not die. There is still one person who is alive and said something valuable. For example, the little cousin of the Su family.

boom!

Gu Zhili's head exploded and he became dizzy.

You're a queen, you wouldn't believe what a person who was kicked out of the Gu mansion said.

Why don't you believe it? He has no reason to lie. Like the little cousin of the Su family, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to make up such a story.

Gu Zhili broke out in a cold sweat, I, I, I...

Gu Jiu leaned back in the chair and said lightly, My patience is limited. Once my patience runs out, I will no longer care about the relationship between father and daughter.

Gu Zhili was terrified and burst into tears.

I'm your father! Why do you treat me as viciously as an enemy? I have nothing to do to you, and I prepared a dowry of 40,000 taels for you. Is there some misunderstanding between us?

He wept bitterly, crying like a two-hundred-pound child.

Gu Jiu looked at him indifferently, Are you sure you want to waste time? I'm here today, just to ask about my mother's death. You've been avoiding talking about it all the time. Could it be that you're guilty of guilt?

No! I was wronged and I didn't do anything.

What's the matter with the little cousin of the Su family? Gu Jiu ignored his defense and only asked the core question.

Gu Zhili said angrily: That's a little slut who deliberately seduced me and wanted to come in to take your mother's place.

Fart! The Su family is a scholarly family, how could it be possible... Gu Ting was so angry that he jumped.

The Su family is indeed a scholarly family, but it is the direct branch of the Su family. As for the offshoots of the Su family, they are a group of shabby households who rely on the direct branch to make a living. Young girls love to lean on the old man.

When Gu Zhili interrupted Gu Ting, in his eyes Gu Ting was a brainless reckless man.

Gu Jiu knocked on the table to remind the two not to quarrel.

She asked: You mean, the little cousin of the Su family approached you on her own initiative?

Yeah! Then your mother found out and got angry at me, saying that I was attracting bees and butterflies, insulting her, disrespecting her and so on. I couldn't talk to her, I was too lazy to listen to her nagging, and ignored her for a long time she.

Later, do you still have any contact with the little cousin of the Su family in private? Gu Jiu asked calmly.

Well, just, just, I have been in private a few times. Later, the little cousin's family was driven out of the capital by the Su family's direct branch, and they broke up.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and sneered, According to what I know, the little cousin of the Su family disappeared suddenly, no one was seen alive, no dead body was seen. It's not like you said she was kicked out of the capital.

You don't believe me, but you actually trust a servant? Gu Zhili had an angry expression of being hurt and wronged.

Snapped!

Gu Jiu slapped the table with a slap, and said sharply, The Su family is alive, and you can't hide what happened back then.

Gu Zhili slumped down, as if his energy and energy had been drained.

Tell me, what happened back then? Gu Jiu's voice was very soft, but it seemed overwhelming.

Gu Zhili's last resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by her.

He sighed and wiped his face, It's a long story.

I have time today, so you can talk slowly.

The old man of the Su family, that is, your grandfather, is a tough guy. He offended many people in the court. Many people disliked him and wanted to get him out so that he would not be an eyesore in the court. Someone found me at that time and asked me to Find a way to find out the flaws of old man Su.

You agreed?

Gu Zhili nodded heavily.

Gu Jiu frowned, Why did you agree? The Su family is your wife's family, what good will it do you if you harm the Su family?

I have something in someone else's hands. Gu Zhili roared angrily, looking very painful.

Gu Jiu sneered, I'm afraid it's not the only reason. As far as I know, the marriage between you and your mother was not what you wanted. After getting married, the relationship between your husband and wife has been at odds. Let me ask you, before the Su family fell into trouble, did you Have you ever thought about killing your wife?

You, you, are these human words? I am your father! Gu Zhili roared with a ferocious face.

Gu Jiu sneered, It seems there are.

No! I didn't. Don't blame me.

Snapped!

Gu Jiu patted the table, Continue talking about going back to the Su family, who threatened you? What did you do?

I don't know who threatened me, and the other party never showed up.

Threatening you with what?

I, I, I, I was drunk and scolded Emperor Wu Zong Kaiyao, and I was heard. I even wrote poems mocking Emperor Kaiyao. I also paid back, and secretly touched the noble daughter of the clan.

Gu Zhili really died on a woman's body in his life.

Emperor Wu Zong Kai Yao often punished officials for defamation. Gu Zhili scolded, wrote satirical poems, and even touched the noble daughters of the clan, no wonder he was manipulated by others.

It can only be said that Gu Zhili was also an angry youth when he was young.

What's even more stupid is that written evidence was left behind.

He is afraid of death!

Someone threatened him, and with his fear of death, he would definitely choose to submit, without any hesitation.

What did you do? Gu Jiu continued to ask.

Gu Zhili hesitated, as if it was difficult to speak.

Gu Jiu sneered and said, What else can't be said now?

Gu Zhili's eyes wandered, and he was very guilty, The little cousin of the Su family posted it and wanted to be my concubine, so I will go along with the flow and use her to stimulate your mother. Your mother was really angry and couldn't stand it and ran back to her mother's house. I promise your mother and The little cousin broke up with her, but kept in touch with her in private. Because I went to the Su family to make amends several times, Mr. Su changed his opinion of me. So I used Mr. Su's trust to create an accident.

What accident?

Gu Zhili covered his face, unable to speak, very embarrassed.

Even though it had been many years, he didn't want to mention it.

What accident? What did you do?

Gu Jiu was furious.

She had a premonition that what Gu Zhili did was directly related to the downfall of the Su family and the death of the Su family.

Gu Zhili choked up several times, and kept his head buried, refusing to speak.

boom!

Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground.

Say!

There was only one word, but it hit Gu Zhili's heart like a heavy hammer.

He is quite old, his hair is already gray, but at this moment he is like a wronged child, crying uncontrollably.
