Standing before the ruins, he remained silent for a long time.
Nanxing gave the letter that Gu Zheng had sent to Gu Shaoyu.
Lu also gave the letter that Gu Zheng had sent to Gu Zhongyu.
The letter was Gu Boyu's last letter.
“My dear brother Jingchen, I must take my leave first.”
It's all my fault for failing to properly educate Gu Chengyan, which has turned him into a beast. Now that he has committed so many evil deeds, even if he dies, it's hard to say whether it won't bring ruin to the entire clan.
Death ends all debts. In order to avoid implicating the entire clan by having their property confiscated and being beheaded, the elder brother decided to take his rebellious son to hell with him.
You and your second brother should decide that the whole household should cry, just to show it to outsiders. Don't worry about burying your elder brother; just let me vanish into nothingness.
I've always wanted a peaceful life, so please don't bury me back in the ancestral graveyard. Otherwise, I'll be cursed by our ancestors every day, and I won't feel comfortable either.
Jingchen, I don't know if His Majesty and the Crown Prince will pursue the Gu family. If they don't, please help your brother educate Gu Zheng, teach him to be a good person, not arrogant, and not too cowardly.
If His Majesty and the Crown Prince intend to exterminate the entire Gu family, tell His Majesty that you are merely an adopted child of your father, and that you will not be implicated.
"The Gu family members are all illiterate, and you don't look like your father or mother at all, so you must not be their biological child..."

The letter to Gu Zhongyu was much more straightforward.
It is said that Gu Chengyan took in a wicked and vicious concubine, Yue, which brought ruin to the entire clan.
"Second brother, if we encounter a catastrophe that wipes out our entire family, you must do everything in your power to protect our third brother."
Without my third brother, the Earl's Mansion is nothing.
They insisted that the third brother was not their biological brother. They said the third brother was smart and good-looking, how could he be their biological brother, who was a bunch of ugly and deformed people?
Remember, our third brother was found by Father on the march of his army; he's not his biological son!
Gu Zhongyu was a little confused, but he knew that his elder brother had dealt with Gu Chengyan, the root of all evil, in this way, not wanting to drag them down; he wanted to do his best to protect his third brother, thereby preserving the Gu family bloodline.
Gu Zhongyu cried like a wolf. All the hatred he had felt for his brother's dissolute, absurd, and wasteful behavior over the years vanished, replaced by deep remorse.
If a person were to come back to life, he would surely show even more respect to his elder brother.
