Chapter 2683 Fortune and Misfortune



Gu Xin knew that the Wang family doted on this son; otherwise, they wouldn't have raised Wang Pangzi to be such a bad person.

However, overnight, the person who loved you the most in this world was gone, which would be a devastating blow to anyone.

Wang Pangzi is already married and has children, but he hasn't learned how to take responsibility or how to be an adult, because there are always people above him who support him and protect him from the wind and rain.

Gu Xin once heard her grandparents say something about a person's growth.

The luckiest thing is to grow up in an ordinary way, doing what is appropriate for each age, without experiencing setbacks or great storms, and living a peaceful and uneventful life until old age and death.

The most unfortunate are people like Fatty Wang, who had a smooth life for twenty years, only to have fate play a cruel joke on him, causing him to lose everything that had sheltered him overnight, leaving him to bear it all alone.

Another kind that is also heartbreaking is that they understand the ways of the world at a young age, know how to read people's expressions, know how to get along with others, and know how to control their temper. They live with a mask on from childhood.

Grandpa and Grandma Gu once said that in their Gu family, if Gu Shouxin hadn't turned back from the wrong path, who knows what would have happened to the second branch of the family.

But now, everyone in the Gu family has grown up in a very ordinary way, doing the right thing at the right age.

During childhood, family members sheltered us from the wind and rain, providing us with a safe haven, allowing us to grow up carefree. In the process of growing up, we also learned about responsibility and commitment.

The two elders also said that even if God wanted them to go to heaven and leave this world now, they would have nothing to worry about.

"This humble monk played chess with Lord Wang all afternoon. In the evening, Lord Wang went to the front hall to copy scriptures. Around 9 PM, Lord Wang left the front hall and returned to his courtyard. They planned to leave today and instructed their young disciple to call them if they hadn't made any noise by 5 AM this morning. When 5 AM arrived, their courtyard wasn't even lit, so the young disciple knocked on the door, but no one answered. The young disciple informed the disciple in charge of the worshippers, who came over and discovered the tragedy. He immediately reported it to this humble monk. After this humble monk came and saw it, I immediately ordered the temple's warrior monks to ride down the mountain to inform Lord Xu. Then I ordered the temple disciples not to wander around and closed the temple." The abbot continued, then looked at Lord Xu.

"When Master Yuanhe arrived, it was already the hour of Mao (5-7 AM). I happened to wake up just then and heard that Lord Wang had an accident. I dressed quickly and went to see Master Yuanhe. After hearing the general situation, I remembered that Shoucheng worked for Your Highness, so I took it upon myself to have Constable Jin rush to the capital immediately. After Constable Jin left, I gathered the constables from the yamen and we came to Hongyuan Temple together. I took a quick look around, and the monks in the temple had indeed not moved anything; everything was normal. Therefore, I took it upon myself to have the constables simply prepare Lord Wang's remains, and we are waiting for Shoucheng to return and for Your Highness to come," said Lord Xu.

"During this period, did Lord Xu investigate the whereabouts of everyone in the temple from the time the Wang family went to bed last night until the incident was discovered this morning?" Gu Xin asked.

"Your Highness, I have investigated this matter. I have had the whereabouts of everyone in the temple compiled and recorded. Would Your Highness like to review this information?" Lord Xu replied.
