"Duo'er, why don't you come with your mother to the capital to find your father, okay?"
After hearing Gu Ying's report, Zhou Huiyu learned that the person who wanted to kill her daughter in the womb had secretly put a bounty on her head. She was worried and couldn't help but want to persuade her daughter to go back to the capital with her to find her husband.
Although Qingping County could be considered part of her husband Gu Shaoyong's territory, there were far too few truly capable people there. They were simply too far away to effectively control the situation…
Although she was willing to risk her own safety to protect her daughter, she couldn't disregard her husband's safety. Therefore, it was impossible for her husband to actually send all his men over.
After much thought, I decided it would be better to persuade my daughter to come to the capital with me.
So, after getting started, before Yun Duo objected, Zhou Huiyu quickly continued speaking.
“My child, it’s not that I’m going back on my word or breaking my promise, it’s just that… the situation has changed.”
“Your Uncle Ying told me before that someone has accepted the bounty and is looking for me everywhere. Although I can hide and not be seen, but... since they have already come to Qingping County, it means they have already made progress. No matter how I hide, I can't hide for long. Besides, if I send people to protect me, I will be discovered.”
“I was thinking, let’s go back and make your identity public. That way, if anyone tries to harm you again, they’ll have to think twice about the consequences. We won’t be in such a passive position as we are now.”
"child……"
Before Zhou Huiyu could finish speaking, Yun Duo frowned, interrupted her, and asked, "Mom, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"Sigh..." Zhou Huiyu sighed deeply, pulled Yun Duo to sit down in front of her, and whispered, "Child, I've never told you this before because I didn't want you to have any prejudice against the Gu family, but... they've gone too far. They can't even tolerate a child like you from the common people. I won't hide it from you anymore."
"Your father's father, your grandfather, was one of the four most powerful people in our country besides the royal family. Our Gu family is also one of the four major families in the capital."
“You have two uncles who died in the war. Now, in the Gu family, besides your father, only one of your uncles is still alive.”
“Your Uncle Ying found out some things before, and your father and I suspect that the person at the hospital was arranged by your uncle.”
“Your eldest uncle is now the deputy minister of the General Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission. He has considerable influence in the military, especially in the Sichuan Military Region. Your father’s influence is not in this area, and we are inherently weaker than him. Moreover, your father insisted on marrying me because he went against the wishes of the old man, that is, your grandfather. He can’t use the Gu family’s influence… but your eldest uncle can.”
"So... Mom hopes you can come back to the capital with us and get through to your grandfather. That way, at least your uncle won't be able to use the Gu family's influence to deal with you. We won't be caught in a pincer movement..."
"Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to protect you..."
"So, what you mean is that when you couldn't even provide me with the most basic security, you acted rashly and came to me, exposing my existence to your enemy so that he would discover I hadn't died before, and then make me die again?"
