Zheng Quchi took a step back and handed him the Black Qi Token: "Here you go. I've already used it once. Although you harmed me, you also helped me in some ways. Now I just want to know how your Gongshu family plans to deal with the fact that I killed Gongshu Lan?"
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jiruo paused slightly: "Don't worry, no one will know that you killed Gongshu Lan. She had the intention to harm others first, so it is not unjust for her to die at your hands. You do not need to take responsibility for this matter."
Zheng Quchi was confused: "How could no one know? What does it mean that I am not responsible? Does the Gongshu family really not investigate or ask questions after the death of a daughter of their direct lineage?"
So many people were there when it happened... Oh right, all those people were Yuwen Sheng's men, along with some remnants of Mo Ye's troops. If Yuwen Sheng silenced everyone who knew and ordered all his subordinates to keep this secret...
But the Gongshu family isn't stupid; wouldn't they investigate?
There will always be some who slip through the net whenever an investigation is conducted.
Unless they don't investigate...
Did you do this?
Did he cover up all the evidence for her, or did he take all the blame and pressure for her so that she wouldn't have to bear the responsibility?
Gongshu Ji roughly understood her meaning, but although he had done it, he did not take full responsibility. After all, the Gongshu family was a large family and not a place where he could make his own decisions. There were layers of rules and regulations that even he could not escape.
The death of Gongshu Lan will inevitably require an explanation from the Gongshu family, as it concerns their prestige and authority. Therefore, he will give them an explanation to quell this storm.
"All you need to know for now is that the Gongshu family is not your enemy; there's no point in delving into the rest. So, what are your plans now?"
After giving his conclusion, he immediately changed the subject.
With one major worry resolved at once, Zheng Quchi breathed a long sigh of relief.
He asked her what her plans were next. She had already finished what she needed to do, so naturally she was going home.
She said, "I want to go back to Fuxian County."
However, Gongshu Jiruo said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for the time being."
Zheng Quchi asked, "Why?"
"Because Ye is about to fall into a state of continuous war, you will be safer anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms than if you stay in Ye."
