Chapter 146 The Unspeakable Secret



It seems that if you leave it on any longer, you will lose this rare warmth.

"Brother Bao? It sounds like a burp."

Zhao Manxiang forced a smile and teased, trying to hide the loss and uneasiness in her heart.

She knew she shouldn't say such things at the moment, but she couldn't help but let the sadness in her heart show through her words.

Fu Yu glanced at Zhao Manxiang coldly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame, which made Zhao Manxiang immediately feel that her husband's approval of her attitude at this time had dropped to the lowest point.

"Brother Bao... burp..."

The Duke's wife whispered the name several times, then looked at the little one sleeping in her arms, "Then let's go with Bao Ge'er. It's a good thing to love eating. Our Bao Ge'er will never be afraid of going hungry in his life."

She said to herself, her voice full of love.

Hearing this, Zhao Manxiang had no choice but to lower her head and remain silent. Although she was very unwilling in her heart, she was powerless and could only silently endure the grievances and hurt brought about by all this.

Afterwards, Fu Yu went into the next room to visit Wen Zhu who had just given birth.

Although exhausted physically and mentally, he decided to go see the woman he loved most and the new life they had welcomed together.

Although extremely tired, Wen Zhu couldn't fall asleep at this moment because he was both excited and nervous about the upcoming changes in his life.

Her cheeks were lightly flushed, and she looked very weak but also full of anticipation.

"Wen Zhu, you've worked hard."

Fu Yu comforted her softly and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, trying to give her more care and protection.

"Is the young master okay now?"

Wen Zhu asked with concern, her eyes flashing with maternal love, obviously caring more about her than her own physical condition.

"Very good, he's sleeping soundly in Mom's arms. Oh, by the way, I named him Bao Ge'er."

Fu Yu told the other person the good news with a smile, hoping that it would make her feel better.

"Brother Bao? That's good. Since it was given by the prince, it's naturally good."

After hearing this, Wen Zhu also smiled happily, full of infinite longing and beautiful yearning for the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuru said firmly, "If we leave like this, what will happen to Xueni and the others? They are helpless and have no one to rely on. How will they survive this long night? And how can the other people in the village survive? They have no resources and no ability to protect themselves. These are real lives!"

"There's so much injustice in the world. Are you going to deal with all of it?"

Her companions looked at her in confusion.

Gu Yuru frowned and replied, "I can't solve all injustices, but I will address anything that's wrong when I encounter it. Even if my power is small, I will do my best to bring a little light to this land."

After saying this, she took her daughter's hand and continued, "Li Yuan, delayed care is worse than no care at all. It cannot heal the wounds in people's hearts. Late help is meaningless to those who died in vain. Their lives are gone, and no amount of effort can bring them back to life."

When the Li family saw how vicious the bandits were, they clamored to retreat.

Their voices rose and fell, full of panic and anger.

There was no need for the Gu family to stop them, as the villagers had already stopped the group of people on their own initiative.

They formed a circle and resolutely blocked the Li family's progress.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the trouble was caused by these people, so how could they leave without solving the problem?

Don’t even think about it!

For the villagers, it doesn't matter which family they are members of.

Regardless of their identities, they all hate those who bring disaster.

The Li family members complained that the Gu family should not meddle in other people's business, but they immediately quieted down under Gu Mingjing's gaze.

They had witnessed with their own eyes before how terrifying the power of this gentleman was, which allowed him to kill his opponent with just a twist of his neck.

The cold aura left them with lingering fear.

At this moment, Gu Mingjing clenched his palms and made a crackling sound: "What's going on? What qualifications do you have to shout here?"

Afterwards, the Li family fell completely silent. Only the occasional sound of the breeze and the barking of dogs in the distance remained. The entire night seemed to pass in silence...

Tian Xueni then took a piece of clean cloth and handed it to Gu Mingjing, "Third Brother Gu, your hand is injured, please bandage it."

She gently handed over the cloth, her eyes full of concern and anxiety.

Gu Mingjing took a look at the wound. It was a scratch of medium depth with blood oozing from the edge. "It's okay. It's nothing. I've suffered much worse injuries on the battlefield before."

He smiled calmly, his tone revealing the tenacity of someone who had experienced the hardships of the battlefield.

Tian Xueni looked at him gratefully and said, "Everyone is right. This matter has nothing to do with you. You could have left here safely. If the government didn't intervene, I might..." Her voice trembled a little, and she felt a chill at the thought of that possibility.

"no."

Gu Mingjing raised his voice, as if to reassure her, "Miss Tian, ​​don't be afraid. We are here and will never let them bully you! Our Gu family has been committed to ensuring everyone lives in peace for decades, and this time will be no exception!"

His firm gaze and calm words made Tian Xueni feel endless sense of security.

Looking at the tall man in front of her, Tian Xueni felt that he was the most responsible person she had ever met.

He remained undeterred in the face of such difficulties and stood firm for justice, which is admirable.

"General Gu, you are such a good person, and your whole family is also good people. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, you are all great benefactors to our Tian family."

Tian Xueni said sincerely, her words filled with gratitude, "Although I don't know why you are in trouble, I believe you must have some unspeakable reasons."

Gu Mingjing smiled gently, "Don't call me that, I'm really embarrassed. Good people make mistakes, and bad people do good things sometimes. There is no absolute right or wrong."

There was a hint of humility in his tone, yet it held profound truth.

Tian Xueni nodded. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, she thought they sounded good and gave her an indescribable warmth and comfort.

When she entered the house, she saw her parents sighing and looking very unhappy, as if their worries had not yet subsided.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn, and everyone was in a bad mood.

"What do they say, child?"

Old Man Tian asked, a hint of uneasiness in his tone, "We didn't commit the murder, so they shouldn't cause us any trouble, right?"

Tian Xueni frowned, her expression very solemn. "Dad, even though we didn't kill him, why did those people kill him? Wasn't it to protect me? If they heard you say this, they would be so sad."
