Chapter 44 Chapter 44 What is the truth of the previous life? ...
==Chapter 44==
Gu's house.
Gu Yuci waited for several days before he saw his brother squatting at the door. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he immediately went forward and said, "Brother!"
The young man's face was filled with unconcealed joy. Gu Yushi's gaze swept across his face, and he paused for a moment before stepping into the mansion. His voice was light:
"What's up?"
Gu Yuci couldn't help but say, "Three days ago, the imperial physician came to my house and said I could go out more often."
His mother had a difficult time giving birth to him, and he was born with a chronic illness. Therefore, his mother always felt guilty about him and became increasingly worried about him. She almost never let him go out alone. People who have been trapped for a long time are always full of expectations for the outside world.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Yuci got the imperial physician's approval, he couldn't wait to tell his brother the news.
He had an inexplicable admiration for Gu Yushi. Perhaps it was because he lost his father at a young age and had a shallow memory of him. From the time he could remember, it was Gu Yushi who supported the entire Gu family. To him, Gu Yushi had always been both a brother and a father.
Gu Yushi finally stopped.
Gu Yuci couldn't help but look at him expectantly. Gu Yuci's eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated. After a long while, he said:
"If mother agrees, you can go out."
Hearing this, Gu Yuci felt a little depressed. He would tell his eldest brother the news first, because he knew in his heart that his mother would definitely not allow him to go out for a while. Only with his eldest brother's nod could he use this opportunity to persuade his mother.
Now his elder brother obviously asked him to ask his mother for her opinion. Gu Yuci was a little disappointed, but he still didn't dare to make any more requests.
The two brothers separated on the veranda.
Gu Yuci lowered his head somewhat dejectedly. He actually wanted to get close to his elder brother, but his elder brother went out early and came back late every day, and it was difficult to wait for him today. The two of them didn't even have time to talk, so how could they get close?
Mu Fan turned his head to glance at the young master, then looked up at his master, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:
"I heard from the housekeeper that the young master has been waiting for you for three days."
Gu Yushi didn't look away, his voice was filled with a coldness that was almost indifferent: "So?"
Mu Fan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what the adult meant and didn't dare to respond.
Gu Yushi didn't look at Mu Fan, nor did he want to know what Mu Fan was thinking. Gu Yuci had been waiting for him for three days, so should he appear in front of Gu Yuci so early?
He already carries too many expectations from the Gu family, does he still need to satisfy his own emotional needs?
Mu Fan secretly glanced at the master. The moon was already high in the treetops. The emperor had asked the master to return home very late, and the master was only wearing a thin cloak. The old lady was worried about the young master's health all day long. She was pleased with the master's responsibility and steadiness, but she seemed to have forgotten that the master had just reached adulthood.
When the master left the house, it was still quiet and had not yet woken up. When he returned home, the house was still dark. The master was always alone when he came and went.
Is it because the timing is wrong? So there is a lack of care?
But he remembered that whenever the young master had a headache or fever, the old lady would always stay up all night to take care of him. Even on normal days, she would give the servants all kinds of instructions and personally take care of all the young master's affairs.
It’s like... this is the young master’s home, but it’s just a place for the adults to stay for a while.
Mu Fan suddenly felt a little regretful for speaking too much.
To make amends, he hurriedly brought up another matter: "By the way, sir, you asked me to send someone to keep an eye on the Jiaofangsi. Today, one of our people saw Miss Feng!"
Gu Yushi's footsteps stopped without warning, and Mu Fan almost bumped into him. The wind blowing around seemed even colder at this moment, and the icy wind was biting.
Feng Wenyu, Jiaofangsi, when these two words came into his mind at the same time, Gu Yushi's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightened by several thin strings, and there was a stone hanging below, trying to drag him into the lake, making him almost unable to breathe.
It was a long time before Mu Fan heard the adult's voice: "She went to the Jiaofangsi?"
It feels light and heavy, making people feel a blockage in their hearts.
Mu Fan hurriedly shook his head, "No! I heard from our people that Miss Feng seemed to have followed Miss Qiao. She only saw Miss Qiao enter the Jiaofangsi and then turned back."
The stone seemed a little lighter, but it was only enough to allow him to float on the surface of the lake, giving him a moment to catch his breath.
Mu Fan looked at the master in confusion. From the beginning, he didn't know why the master asked him to send people to keep an eye on the Jiaofangsi. When he learned today that Miss Feng was entering and leaving the theater, he was shocked. Later, he was relieved when he heard that Miss Feng did not enter the Jiaofangsi.
He almost thought that his master could predict the future!
Mu Fan scratched his head again. "But I still haven't found the Young Master Lin Yu that the Master asked me to investigate. It's as if this person doesn't even exist in the Jiaofangsi."
Mu Fan's voice became a little smaller. He felt bitter in his heart. The adults only gave him a title, but he almost searched the entire Music Bureau and could not find anyone named Master Lin Yu in the Music Bureau.
Gu Yushi's eyes darkened slightly.
No Master Linyu?
He didn't know Shen Jingchen very well. The first time he went to check on Shen Jingchen was when he knew that Feng Wenyu had the idea of redeeming Shen Jingchen.
At that time, he once thought that Shen Jingchen was from Southern Xinjiang, and that the reason why Feng Wenyu was so obsessed with him was that he had put a poison on Feng Wenyu!
Later I learned that Shen Jingchen was from the Central Plains and his ancestral home was Qi and Lu.
His self-deceiving excuses were exposed, and Gu Yushi had to face the reality - his legally married wife intended to redeem an actor and even wanted to place the actor in her dowry house.
The laws of the Otsu Dynasty stipulated that a woman's dowry belonged to her and no one else could touch it.
But Gu Yushi never thought that she would arrange her dowry in that way.
Gu Yushi didn't want to think about his embarrassment when he first got the news. He didn't understand that even if Feng Wenyu was fickle, he shouldn't have chosen Shen Jingchen.
In terms of age, Shen Jingchen is even older than him. In terms of appearance, what kind of beauty can Shen Jingchen have at such an old age? In terms of talent, he won the top three prizes at a young age, suppressing his peers and making them dare not compete. How can Shen Jingchen compare with him?
Therefore, Gu Yushi could only speculate harshly that Shen Jingchen relied on his brothel style to deceive Feng Wenyu.
At that time, he didn't care whether Feng Wenyu would hate him even more, and secretly put pressure on the Music Bureau, and finally the matter of redeeming his freedom was left unresolved.
If Gu Yushi were reborn, he would hate Gao Dang and Zhou Chiyu to the core, and would be extremely disgusted with Shen Jingchen.
Even Yan Yunhe, or later Xie Zhujing, could not make Gu Yushi so disgusted.
Does Young Master Lin Yu not exist, or has Shen Jingchen not yet had time to earn this title?
Mu Fan asked cautiously, "Besides the name of Master Lin Yu, do you have any other clues?"
Other clues? Of course Gu Yushi had them.
He knew that in terms of age, Shen Jingchen was three years older than him, and should be twenty-three now. He loved to wear white clothes for show, but there was a gap of twelve years between them, and Gu Yushi had no idea what Shen Jingchen looked like now.
Even the name Shen Jingchen was something he had spent some effort to find out.
When this man became famous, he was known as Master Linyu. Later on, he never mentioned his own name. I guess he was too afraid to see anyone.
Gu Yushi suddenly asked, "Who did you say she went with?"
Mu Fan didn't know what was wrong with the adults, and quickly replied:
"She's the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, the same Qiao family that belongs to the Queen's mother's clan."
Qiao Anyu?
He had an impression of this person. He and Feng Wenyu had a special conflict when they were still together. He got married a year after Feng Wenyu and remembered it so clearly because Feng Wenyu had complained to him at the time, saying that he was stupid and didn't even know to carefully choose a partner for such an important matter as getting married.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and the Qiao family gradually declined. Qiao Anyu was no longer the center of attention in the capital, and she went to the local area with her husband's family to take up a post.
Before Qiao Anyu left Beijing, he came to the mansion to meet Feng Wenyu.
Even though ten years had passed, Gu Yushi still remembered the incident vividly. After that meeting, Feng Wenyu was absent-minded for a long time.
It's impossible for someone like Qiao Anyu to go in and out of the Jiaofangsi for no reason.
Gu Yushi suddenly had a question - how did Feng Wenyu get in touch with Shen Jingchen?
The two of them were worlds apart. For someone of Shen Jingchen's status, it was almost impossible to meet Feng Wenyu.
In his previous life, his emotions overwhelmed his rationality, and he had never realized that there was something wrong with the mere fact that they knew each other.
Gu Yushi's face darkened slightly. He remembered something. When he was in and out of the Dali Temple, he flipped through a file from a year ago. Among them, the previous chief academic officer of the Imperial College was named Chen.
In his previous life, when he had access to the Dali Temple files, the Shen family had already become a piece of history during the previous emperor's period, and he would never associate Shen Jingchen with the Shen family.
He vaguely remembered that the file recorded the fate of the Shen family - the entire family was executed.
If Shen Jingchen was really a member of the Shen family, he should have died a year ago, so how could he still be alive?
It clearly shouldn't happen, but Gu Yushi already had the answer in his heart.
Only Shen Jingchen is a member of the Shen family, so he can connect Shen Jingchen, Qiao Anyu and Feng Wenyu together.
Gu Yushi felt a slight pain in his heart belatedly, and he was a little confused, so what?
So, what is the truth about past lives?
What role did Qiao Anyu play in this, and what is the relationship between Feng Wenyu and Shen Jingchen?
Is that truth worth Feng Wenyu going to the Jiaofangsi again and again, regardless of his reputation?
What position was he placed in it?
The night was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the chill came with the wind. Gu Yushi had too many questions to ask. The shadow under his feet was twisting and rising, like the emotions that were about to burst out of his chest, but he could only stand there stiffly.
Because he knew that no one could give him an answer.
Everyone in this world is moving forward, except him, who is trapped in the memories of his past life.
"My lord...my lord?"
Gu Yushi was barely called back to his senses. He seemed to glance at Mu Fan, but it seemed as if he didn't look at him at all. He walked towards the front yard with a pale lips.
Mu Fan moved his lips silently, and worry flashed in his eyes. At that moment, he didn't know why he felt that his master seemed particularly lonely.
He always had an illusion that there was a barrier between adults and the world, and he couldn't fit in, and others couldn't get in either.
Only news about Miss Feng would cause the adults to have some emotional fluctuations.
Mu Fan couldn't help but feel a little frightened when facing such an adult. People in this world should always have something they care about. This is the rope that holds them together. Once this rope is lost, they will be like a kite with a broken string, with nowhere to rely on and nowhere to return to.
Mu Fan thought more than once - it would be great if the Lord and Miss Feng hadn't broken off the engagement.
