Immortal style and temperament is not only an adjective, it is also a special noun in Taoism.

Gu Lingze endured the most uncomfortable stage with great difficulty. After practicing his mental method, he suddenly found that he could move.

Just as he was about to open his eyes, Xie Qingwan placed her hand on his face and rubbed it slowly.

"If you can wake up, I will shorten my life..."

Gu Lingze sat up abruptly, "Madam Gu, you can't say that!"

Taoism has always had the concept of borrowing one's lifespan. If Xie Qingwan's words were heard by someone with ulterior motives or a passing ghost, once one's lifespan is "borrowed", it would be difficult to get it back.

"Lingze, you're awake!" Xie Qingwan hugged him tightly in her arms, almost ecstatic.

Gu Lingze was a little embarrassed.

He has never had a mother and envied other children when he was a child, but he has a master who gives him the warmth of a family.

After coming here, his mother was just like him without a mother, she left him and ran away without a trace, but he never cared.

But because of this advancement, he accidentally discovered that Madam Gu was his biological mother. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what emotion it was.

Xie Qingwan hurried to inform others. Everyone was very happy to see him wake up, but they did not dare to stay any longer and told him to have a good rest.

"Cheng Mo, I have something to ask you."

After everyone else went out, only Zhao Chengmo stayed.

"General Gu and Madam Gu are my biological parents. Have you known about this for a long time?"

Zhao Chengmo suddenly looked up at him. Although Gu Lingze had no expression on his face, he knew that this was a sign of anger.

"You know?"

"Yes, I know. You all knew it before, but you kept it from me alone." Gu Lingze became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. Even Zhao Chengmo kept him in the dark.

Zhao Chengmo tried to shake his hand, but Gu Lingze dodged him.

"If I can hear what you say when I'm lying down, how long do you plan to keep it a secret from me?"

Zhao Chengmo didn't dare to look him in the eye, and said with his eyes lowered: "I never thought of hiding it from you. I wanted to tell you as soon as I got the confirmation, but your eldest brother stopped me."

"sorry."

Gu Lingze didn't want to hear his apology. He lay down angrily and covered his head with the quilt. A muffled voice came from inside, "Get out!"

Zhao Chengmo sat beside the bed, looked at him silently for a while, then closed the door and went out.

Gu Lingze couldn't help but feel annoyed. He told you to go out so you went out. When you were hiding it from him, you didn't think about how he would be angry. But now you become obedient.

As soon as Zhao Chengmo came out, he went to the front hall, where everyone was sitting and talking. Although their complexions were not very good, their expressions were very happy.

"He knows his own life experience." Zhao Chengmo said something shocking as soon as he came in, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Gu Feirui immediately stood up and asked cautiously, "What did he say?"

"He was very angry and kicked me out."

Zhao Chengmo didn't know the specific reason why Gu Lingze was angry. Was he angry that he had kept it a secret from him? Or was he angry that the general and his wife had abandoned him? Or was it both?

Gu Feirui was a little frustrated, "Lingze doesn't want to recognize us."

Gu Xiuyi patted his shoulder and said, "Our brother is not that kind of person."

"If it were me, even if I didn't feel resentment, I would definitely not accept the idea of ​​the legitimate son of the general's mansion being assigned to a country farm before I knew the truth."

Gu Tianhua stood up and walked outside. Xie Xiru sat beside him and sighed.

At the beginning, Gu Xiuyi only stopped Zhao Chengmo from telling Gu Lingze, but he didn't have time to tell him the truth. Now that everyone knows it, it's time for him to tell it.

Xu Mingyan wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Xie Xiru. He knew that to Gu Lingze, Xu Mingyan was like a family member, so there was no need to avoid him.

Gu Tianhua walked all the way to Gu Lingze's door, but when he was about to go in, he hesitated.

He was afraid that Gu Lingze would hate him.

I raised my hand to push the door and put it down several times, but unexpectedly the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Gu Lingze thought that the person wandering back and forth in front of the door was Zhao Chengmo, so when he opened the door, there was still a bit of anger on his face. He didn't expect that it was General Gu who came.

The two stood there awkwardly for a while, neither of them looking into the other's eyes.

Finally, it was Gu Lingze who spoke up, "General Gu, please come in."

After Gu Tianhua sat down, he took a deep breath slowly.

"I was the one who decided to treat you as a concubine and give birth to your son when you were born. I was also the one who had you sent to a farm in the countryside."

"If you have hatred in your heart, then hate me. Don't hate your mother and your two brothers. They can't change my decision."

"Your mother cries bitterly every time it's your birthday."

"If you turn over the wooden planks under the bed in the room, you will see all the clothes, shoes, pants and socks she made for you, but she never had the chance to put them on for you herself."

Gu Tianhua spoke intermittently for a long time, and Gu Lingze felt his nose sore and his heart ached.

Rather than saying that he was suffering, General Gu and his wife were also suffering.

"So what was the reason in the first place?" Although Gu Lingze knew that both of them must have had their own difficulties, he still wanted to find out the truth.

"When your mother first became pregnant with you, I took her to the palace banquet..."

At first, Gu Tianhua was just like Gu Feirui now, and was given the title of General Mingwei of the fourth rank.

Originally he was just an unknown military general, but unexpectedly he married Xie Qingwan, the jewel in the crown of the current imperial tutor.

Later, in the battle with Qianhan Kingdom, Gu Tianhua was extremely brave and was awarded the title of Second-Rank Dragon and Tiger General when he returned to the court.

There are always rumors that Gu Tianhua is just relying on nepotism to climb up the ladder, but Gu Tianhua himself doesn't care at all.

Being both a second-rank general and the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor, he was extremely popular for a time.

Unexpectedly, at the palace banquet for awarding honors, Concubine Yu looked at Xie Qingwan's belly and actually asked the emperor to issue an order to grant a marriage between the third prince and his unborn child.

The emperor thought she was joking, but he didn't expect Concubine Yu to take the matter very seriously.

The emperor was a little embarrassed for a moment, and Gu Tianhua stepped forward and politely declined, saying that he didn't know the gender of the third son yet.

But Imperial Concubine Yu was particularly stubborn at the palace banquet that day, and she said that if it was a son, he would enter the palace as a study companion; if it was a daughter, she would be made the principal wife; and if it was a boy, he would be taken in as a concubine.

But Gu Tianhua still declined, as he didn't want his child to be tied to the royal ship as soon as he was born.

The emperor also felt that it was inappropriate and was about to refuse this matter, but unexpectedly, Concubine Yu had someone carry out the third prince. It was unknown what the emperor saw in the third prince. When Concubine Yu spoke again, the emperor issued the decree to grant the marriage.

Gu Tianhua and Xie Qingwan did not return home that day, but went directly to Xie Xiru to discuss the matter.
