Gu Yanfei looked at Gu Yuan in a daze, her eyes turning red.
From her previous life to this life, she didn’t know that her father’s bones were incomplete.
It had always been her eldest brother, Gu Yuan, who carried this burden alone. Perhaps it was because in her previous life, they had never had the chance to avenge her father, so her eldest brother had never mentioned this to her, afraid that she would be sad.
In front of her eyes, the sorrows of her past life flashed like a revolving lantern. In that moment, a mighty and intense surge rushed into her heart, causing her chest to rise and fall uncontrollably. A tinge of red flickered in her teary eyes, filled with a sense of bitterness.
Suddenly, she grabbed Gu Yuan’s sleeve and pinched the material of his sleeve tightly.
Fortunately, she had returned to this small world.
Gu Yuan picked up the teapot and poured tea for his sister. He toasted her with tea instead of wine. His handsome and cold face showed off one’s ability as he said firmly, “As long as Father’s case can be overturned.”
Back then, his father had been buried hastily. He hadn’t even held a proper funeral or been buried in the Gu family’s ancestral grave. The clansmen were afraid of angering the late Emperor.
It had been nine years. Gu Yuan had waited for a full nine years before he finally had the chance to avenge his father.
Gu Yuan’s long and narrow eyes were filled with blood vessels. He said bitterly, “When we overturn Father’s case, I want to bury Father’s corpse again with Mother.”
He planned to personally go to Yangzhou and Tailing City. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to find his father’s corpse.
In the past, he didn’t dare have any hope for this. But now, he suddenly felt that this wasn’t impossible.
“Okay!” Gu Yanfei toasted Gu Yuan with another cup of tea, as if he had seen through his thoughts. “When the time comes, can you bring me to Tailing City?”
“I want to see where Father and Big Brother live in Tailing City…”
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment and nodded firmly. “Okay!”
Because of Gu Yunrong’s existence, Gu Yuan has always tried not to mention the past in Tailing City. He felt that even if he told his sister, it would only increase his sadness and unwillingness.
His eyelashes fluttered, and the sadness and sorrow were all hidden in his eyes. He smiled and promised solemnly, “Let’s go to Tailing City together.”
He stretched out his pinky to Gu Yanfei and almost wanted to pinky swear with his sister. At this moment, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside. Juan Bi rushed in through the curtain and reported, “Eldest Young Master, Second Lady, someone from Duke Chang’an’s Mansion is here.”
“It’s Uncle Chang’an, Second Master Lu, and Second Madam Lu.”
The smile on Gu Yuan’s lips instantly disappeared. He frowned and said angrily, “What are the Lu family doing here?”
The Lu family didn’t believe in my sister and despised her for being a busybody Why are they here now?!
Juan Bi coughed dryly and explained awkwardly, “Imperial Duchess Wei accompanied them here.”
“Please bring the person to Chaohui Hall.” As Gu Yanfei looked up at Juan Bi, her emotions had mostly returned to calmness, although her voice still carried a subtle hint of hoarseness.
Gu Yuan didn’t say anything else. Whether he saw the Lu family depended on his sister, and he wouldn’t interfere.
Then, the siblings moved to the outer courtyard’s Chaohui Hall.
The sky was bright outside. It was obvious that today would be a sunny day.
The sun shone warmly on people, making them feel bright and happy. All kinds of sadness were swept away.
Imperial Duke Wei’s Madam and the Lu family arrived very quickly. The former was full of smiles, while the latter was rather reserved.
“Yanfei, All Qin’s mother is apologizing to you today.” Imperial Duke Wei’s Madam was a straightforward person. The first thing she said was to get straight to the point.
“It’s my fault.” Second Madam Lu was ashamed. Her face was red as she apologized repeatedly. “It’s all my fault!”
“Miss, you’re a magnanimous person. Don’t argue with an ignorant person like me!”
Yesterday afternoon, after the Hua family went to the Lu family to make the betrothal, the unconscious Lu Qin woke up. At that time, Second Madam Lu only thought that her daughter had recovered and was overjoyed. She thought that she could prepare for the marriage as soon as possible until this morning, when the Second Master’s eldest sister, Madam Lu, rushed back to the Duke’s Mansion and scolded her.
Only then did Second Madam Lu know that the Hua family planned to let the eldest son marry his daughter. Not only did they want to murder his daughter, but they also planned to use his daughter’s life to bless the Hua family. This was confirmed by the Daoist Xuan Cheng himself.
Only then did she know that what Gu Yanfei had said previously was true. It turned out that the Hua family really had ill intentions. This time, she almost made a huge mistake and killed her biological daughter..
