"Ah Qing, are you afraid?"
Gu Heng looked down at his little granddaughter with blond hair and dark skin. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his little granddaughter seemed a little whiter today.
Of course, for someone as knowledgeable and open-minded as him, he no longer cares superficially about appearance.
However, the little granddaughter's appearance has always been a small taboo for the Gu family.
Alas, the Gu family really doesn’t value these appearances, but among a group of handsome men and beautiful women, there is such a small, ugly girl.
It really was like a black crow flying in among a group of phoenixes.
They don't pursue overly delicate looks, but they can't be too ugly either.
Every time Gu Heng saw his little granddaughter, she was obviously the smartest, with the best talent and character among all the grandchildren, but only...
"Don't be afraid!"
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Gu Heng with burning eyes.
As smart and perceptive as she was, she certainly noticed the fleeting regret in her grandfather's eyes.
In fact, it’s not just my grandfather, but also my father, mother, brother, and sister. They are all like this.
They have never despised me, but they always look at me with regret and even guilt.
Little did they know that their looks also hurt her!
"My Wujun Gu family has its own pride!"
Gu Qingcheng pretended not to notice her grandfather's expression and said proudly, "Besides, I don't believe that Chen Jing would dare to become an enemy of all the noble families."
The powerful official Chen Jing just wanted to drive his grandfather out of the capital for refusing to surrender, rather than really doing anything to this famous scholar who was well-known throughout the country.
He is just arrogant, not stupid.
Killing Gu Heng or taking the opportunity to humiliate him would not benefit him much.
Instead, it will provoke a backlash from those aristocratic families who feel grief-stricken at the sight of the rabbit.
It was said to be a confiscation of property and exile, but it was more of a formality.
Gu Heng must have been so confident that he dared to stay.
Gu Heng is indeed a man of integrity, but he would not be so foolish as to gamble with his life.
"Haha! Great! Grandpa's grandson is really smart!"
What a smart child! He is not even six years old, but he can already think about things so carefully.
Alas, what a pity——
Gu Heng sighed silently in his heart again.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I can't see! I don't care!
I have a system, and as long as I complete the tasks, I can become beautiful!
Sooner or later, I will become a stunningly beautiful woman.
The grandfather and grandson were waiting in the main hall. Soon, a man dressed as a military general walked in.
He came in alone, and his soldiers were left outside.
Seeing this person coming alone, Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng both smiled faintly - they guessed right!
"Lord You'an, I, General Zheng Mo, have been ordered to escort you to Lingnan!"
When the General of the Central Army named Zheng Mo saw Gu Heng, he saluted with his fists clasped and was very respectful.
"I dare not! I'm sorry to trouble you, General Zheng!"
Gu Heng nodded slightly, "Now the Gu family only has me, my granddaughter, and a few loyal servants."
Gu Heng was reminding that not all the servants in the Gu family could be taken away, and some had to stay behind to guard the old house.
This is the root of the Gu family and cannot be abandoned easily.
"yes!"
In fact, Zheng Mo was quite "relieved" when he saw that there were only one old man and one child left in the Gu family.
He did not forget that the head of the Gu family was the saint's aunt, Princess Jiangling.
Although the saint became a puppet, he was still the representative of orthodoxy.
The powerful official Chen Jing has not yet reached the point where he will reveal his true colors. He still needs to disguise himself a little in front of the royal family and the aristocratic families.
If Chen Jing is like this, let alone a small fry like Zheng Mo.
He was really afraid that after entering the Gu family, he would find that the entire Gu family was there.
Zheng Mo felt overwhelmed just thinking about escorting so many people on the journey, including some wealthy women.
The current situation is still the best. There are only one old man, one young man and a few servants left in the huge Gu family. As a servant, he will not be in too much trouble.
As for where the rest of the Gu family went, it was easy to guess. Apart from Beichao, there was no other place.
Not to mention others, even Zheng Mo himself was not from the Southern Dynasty.
He was born into the Zheng family, a noble family in the Northern Dynasty. Because he was a concubine's son, he had conflicts with his family and came to the Southern Dynasty in anger.
Although the Northern and Southern Dynasties were hostile to each other for hundreds of years.
People on both sides want to swallow up the other side, but there is a lot of "communication" in private.
The aristocratic families of the Southern Dynasty, or even the emperors who were driven off the throne, might go to the Northern Dynasty and would be "valued" to a certain extent in the Northern Dynasty.
As for some people in the Northern Dynasty, if they are frustrated, they can also go to the Southern Dynasty to look for opportunities!
There is no real gap between the south and the north.
"Lord You'an, the Saint has issued an order for you to leave the capital within three days. Today is the third day. Look—"
Zheng Mo had a very good attitude, but he did not forget the important matter.
"I will never make things difficult for General Zheng. Give me some time, and we will set off later."
Gu Heng had made preparations in advance and had his children and grandchildren take away the family tree, book collection, and valuable items.
All that remained of the Gu family mansion were some bulky furniture and some unimportant items.
Gu Heng packed up some gold, silver, and pills, and arranged for the old servants to guard the old house, and he was ready.
Gu Qingcheng was very considerate. She silently calculated that Zheng Mo had left them, the grandparents and grandchildren, an hour.
A lot can be done in this hour.
Gu Qingcheng ordered the cook in the kitchen to light the fire and cook.
Wheat cakes, meat patties, dried meat, pickles, pickled meat...
