Chapter 261 The Unknown Secret
Tu Suminfei took a deep breath, trying to suppress the complex emotions surging in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Grandfather, do you mean to investigate this matter thoroughly first, and then make overall arrangements?"
"Exactly."
The old grandfather glanced at him meaningfully with a deep gaze and scoffed, "If I'm not mistaken, your father might be involved in this matter. Do you know why I want to keep you here?"
The old lady had been living in seclusion for a long time and had little contact with the villagers. In this situation, if she wanted to take any action, she would be greatly restricted and extremely inconvenient.
However, she has another son in the outside world, a son who shares her values.
Tu Su Minfei's expression changed again.
The old grandfather's eyes were as calm as water. "I have no intention of pursuing your father's death for his crimes. He is my blood after all, so it's not difficult to keep him alive. But the whole story must be thoroughly investigated. I need to know how they plotted against me, how they framed me."
"As for your grandmother... I will never tolerate her existence."
If there were a little more compassion, these words could have been kept implicit instead of being spoken directly.
There is no need to let Tu Su Minfei intervene in this. It is also fine if Tu Subo alone takes responsibility.
However, the old grandfather pondered for a long time and always felt that this move was not appropriate.
Tu Su Minfei and Tu Subo have very different personalities, and they compete secretly with each other.
The grandfather didn't take the minor arguments between the younger generations to heart. Under the protection of the Tusu family, no matter how fiercely Tusu Bo and Tusu Minfei fought, they would never betray the family. The grandfather had no doubt about this.
But if a revenge for the murder of his father is involved, even if that is the good-for-nothing father whom Tu Su Minfei himself despises, the situation will not be optimistic.
The old grandfather decided to let Tu Su Minfei know the whole truth to avoid the brothers turning against each other in the future and causing a family tragedy.
Tu Su Min Fei was extremely intelligent and understood everything immediately. He deeply understood the hidden meaning of his grandfather's words. He lowered his head and said in a serious tone: "Grandfather, please rest assured. I know very well that I am a member of the Tu Su family."
"That's great."
The old grandfather straightened up with difficulty and placed his hands gently on the shoulders of Tu Subo and Tu Su Minfei. Although his movements were light, they seemed to contain invisible power, which made people feel awe.
"I've worked hard all my life, and I've made many mistakes in parenting, but I've been blessed with a good marriage and have raised several wonderful children."
"Your Third Uncle has an unstable temperament. The burden of the Tusu family can only fall on the shoulders of you two. If I pass away one day, I will no longer be able to share this burden with you. You must learn to bear it on your own."
"After returning, Bo'er will try to reassure Xuanxuan and not let her notice anything unusual. The others will do their best to cover it up and not let them get involved too much."
"As for other matters... I'm still ill, so there's no need to rush."
At this critical moment, if the old lady made any mistake, Gu Yuexuan would definitely become suspicious. Grandfather didn't want her to suffer such a fear innocently.
In the quiet of the night, Gu Yuexuan's innocent hands were clasped tightly together, loyally guarding the bedside. The old grandfather did not mind it, but showed mercy to the life that should have been punished, allowing it to linger on.
The old grandfather's thoughts were exactly the same as Tu Subo's, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
This kind of disgusting thing is a despicable scandal no matter where it happens, and it makes people feel disgusted when they hear about it.
Tu Subo knew very well that he didn't want Gu Yuexuan to get too involved in these troubled areas.
Unexpectedly, Tu Su Minfei had the same idea as them.
Tu Suminfei quickly closed his eyes. After experiencing a huge shock, his voice became rough and hoarse, as if he had swallowed countless grains of sand: "If big brother already has a reason to explain to big sister-in-law, you might as well notify me first."
Even in the most filthy and dark corners, there should be a piece of pure land that is carefully guarded. Behind the insignificant wooden door of the Tu Su family, there is a person they must protect.
Tu Subo stepped into the house again. Although his grandfather tried hard to stay awake, he could not resist the fatigue and fell asleep.
Gu Yuexuan had been waiting in the house. When she saw Tu Subo and Tu Su Minfei carrying their grandfather in one after another, she couldn't help but sit down on the stool and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Finally, they came back.
Gu Yuexuan drooped her eyes weakly, rubbed her cheeks with her hands, and said in a slightly dull voice: "Where is the doctor you invited? Has he examined Grandpa? What did he say?"
Tu Su Minfei slightly tightened the corners of his lips, and his expression revealed a hint of unfathomableness.
Tu Subo settled the old grandfather down, gently pinched Gu Yuexuan's cold earlobe, and whispered softly: "Tu Suminfei will take care of this place, you come back with me to rest."
All the details will be discussed back in the bedroom.
Gu Yuexuan glanced at Tu Suminfei who had taken over her position with ease, tightly grasped the warm big hand extended by Tu Subo, and slowly stood up.
"That's it, then."
"Minfei, if anything happens, go to the backyard and ask your uncle for help. If your uncle isn't here..."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know what's going on." Tu Su Minfei said in a firm tone, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
Gu Yuexuan was indeed extremely tired.
She herself could not understand the fluctuations in her heart. When Tu Subo had not returned, her body and mind seemed to be bound by a taut bowstring. Any slight movement could touch the most sensitive nerve in her heart, putting her in a state of extreme tension.
However, the moment Tu Subo's figure came into view, the invisible anxiety quietly dissipated like smoke, and even the imperceptible nervous hair seemed to be gently smoothed by an invisible big hand.
An indescribable conviction welled up in Gu Yuexuan's heart. As long as Tu Subo was by her side, nothing would go wrong.
She could completely relax.
Gu Yuexuan, whose body and mind were finally relaxed, felt her eyelids heavy. Like a child, Tu Subo held her hand and half-dragged and half-pulled her back to the stable.
As the door closed slightly, Tu Subo increased his strength and gently placed Gu Yuexuan on the soft bed, gently taking off her outer clothes and shoes and socks.
Gu Yuexuan struggled to open her heavy eyelids and mumbled, "I think my grandfather's condition is quite strange. What does the imperial physician you invited have to say?"
"The medicinal residue... all the residue from the decoction has been cleared away, leaving not even a trace. I can't be sure if there are any unknown secrets hidden in it..."
Gu Yuexuan turned over as she spoke, her eyes blurred and complicated as she looked at Tu Subo: "If the imperial doctors can't detect any clues, then am I really causing trouble for no reason and being overly suspicious?"
"How is that possible?"
Tu Subo gently stroked the shadows of youth under her eyes, staring into her bloodshot pupils. He said softly, "You're wise to be suspicious of the old lady's late-night contact with the mysterious man. This concerns our grandfather's health and safety, so we should remain vigilant."
