Gu Shouxin patted Gu Xin on the back: "Well done, Xin Xin, you avenged your sister. Don't be afraid, Father is here, and Father won't let them get away with this."
...
The Prince Qu's Mansion was sealed off that very day.
Apart from Prince Qu, who was recuperating in Tongzhou, everyone in Prince Qu's mansion was imprisoned.
The people had a very good impression of the Qu Prince's Mansion. In their hearts, the Qu Prince was a great benefactor who often cared about the lives of the people, did good deeds, and helped those who had been wronged to seek justice.
Although the grandchildren of King Qu were a bit unruly, King Qu was a good man!
People couldn't help but ask, what serious crime has the Prince Qu's mansion committed? Why is it being sealed off?
The officers explained, "We discovered a secret room and a secret passage at the Quwang Villa. A dragon robe was hanging in the secret room, and the secret passage led into the deep mountains. Inside were private soldiers being trained, but their numbers are currently unknown."
In short, it was a rebellion in the Qu Prince's Mansion.
The people refused to believe it: "Prince Qu hasn't even taken up any official post in the court. He's always been kind-hearted, using his family's wealth to help those in need. He's charitable and has the Great Zhou Dynasty in his heart. How could he possibly rebel? Could it be a misunderstanding?"
Officers and soldiers: "I don't know. I'm just following orders. Three days later, when the case is clear, the Dali Temple will hold a trial!"
Then all the people in the capital knew about it and planned to go and watch the court hearing.
Xue Qianyu escorted the Gu sisters home, and Princess Jinghe accompanied them.
Upon arriving at the Gu family home and seeing the sisters enter, Xue Qianyu finally felt at ease.
The servants of the Gu family came out and carried Bai Jiu inside. Gu Nian also came out after them. She looked at Xue Qianyu and said, "Thank you for today."
Xue Qianyu dismounted and handed something to Gu Nian—a bracelet. He took Gu Nian's hand, and she flinched, but he grabbed it, saying, "You don't need to avoid me like this. I don't have that much time to bother you."
Gu Nian frowned.
Xue Qianyu added, "So, I can only give you some self-defense items. Press this button, and it will release three poison needles. Once you've used them all, you can put them back on."
Gu Nian bit her lip as she looked at Xue Qianyu.
Xue Qianyu smiled and said, "There's only one of these, and it takes a lot of effort to make. If we make three more, it will take a year. I've asked the craftsmen to prepare them. I'll ask Lu Zheng for money for Xin Xin's, and I'll ask her husbands for money for Hui Hui and Si Si's after they get married."
Gu Nian rarely saw Xue Qianyu smile; when he smiled, he was a completely different person from when he didn't.
Xue Qianyu put the bracelet on Gu Nian's wrist, released her hand, and wiped away the blood that hadn't dried under her ear. He then smoothed her hair and tucked it behind her ear. "You silly girl, you only like handsome men. Have you only just realized how handsome I am? Unfortunately, I have to go to the palace. The Emperor will be asking me questions later, so I can't stand here for you to see. I'm leaving."
Gu Nian: "..."
Reaching the horse's side, Xue Qianyu turned back, looked down at Gu Nian, and said earnestly, "Gu Nian, like everyone in the Gu family, I love seeing you laugh carefree. I love seeing you yell and curse, I love seeing you confident, I love seeing you fiery. Life is full of ups and downs; once you overcome them, everything will be alright. No matter when you overcome them, the sky will still be blue, the clouds will still be white. There are no insurmountable obstacles; it's just a matter of whether you're willing to overcome them. Once you overcome them, there will be someone better waiting for you on the other side. He will be with you through life, accompanying you to see the sunshine, to shelter you from thunder and lightning, and to experience all the joys and sorrows of the rest of your life. Gu Nian, believe me, he will be waiting for you."
At this moment, Gu Nian felt an unprecedented sense of emotion. She looked up at Xue Qianyu's bright eyes, which seemed to hold a bright future.
