Gu Shirong was stunned. "Yes, yes, it's all over, it's all over."
Chang'an's smile grew even brighter, but there was no trace of a smile in the depths of his eyes. Was it all over now? How could that be possible? No, it definitely wouldn't be over now!
Chang'an pushed Gu Qingfeng away, and everyone in the hall lost their appetite.
Gu Shirong confessed what happened in the Gambling Pavilion, but he just confused right and wrong and put all the faults and conspiracies on others in order to gain sympathy.
Who knew that the old general would say that it was all his own stupidity that made him do it.
Gu Qingfeng and Chang'an left the central hall in silence until they arrived at Chang'an's courtyard.
Gu Qingfeng slowly spoke, "Gu family has a daughter, named Chang'an, also known as Lekang."
Changan was surprised, "Dad, do you know my daughter's courtesy name?"
"I know." Gu Qingfeng smiled bitterly. "Although your courtesy name isn't recorded in the family tree, your mother wrote to me before you were born, mentioning your name and courtesy name. As for Le Kang, did you hear Wanxin mention it?"
"No." Wan Xin, who was standing by, was also surprised. "This servant has never mentioned the word Le Kang to Miss."
"It's me. A few days ago, when I was looking through my mother's old things, I saw something she left behind and learned that the name Chang'an was given by her. She also gave me a courtesy name at the time, but no one knew about it."
Changan had a faint smile on his lips, "Dad, can you blame Changan for what happened today?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't say anything. He didn't blame his daughter at all. He was just heartbroken. There were too many dirty things hidden between their flesh and blood.
"There's no blame or blame." Gu Qingfeng looked at Chang'an, "Life in this world is not easy. Your father hopes that you can live a happy life in this life. Don't miss the beautiful scenery for unworthy things and unworthy people."
Changan understood, especially the three words 'this life'. "Dad, I understand what you mean. As you said, I will definitely live a happier life. But there are some things that must be done. They are the tribulation of the heart and the obsession. Only by doing them can I live up to the blessing of heaven."
"Dad understands." Gu Qingfeng said, "It's just... that's all. It's up to you. As long as my daughter is happy, everything is fine."
"Thank you, Dad." Chang'an smiled knowingly. "I guess you didn't eat well just now. I'll make you a dish. Would you like to try it?"
"Okay." Gu Qingfeng's eyes were full of smiles.
After a while, Chang'an returned to the room with the prepared food.
But I didn't expect Bei Mingxuan to be there too. "Why are you here? Are you trying to eat for free? I didn't cook for you."
"No way!" Bei Mingxuan pretended to be surprised, "I came here because I smelled the delicious food. So you don't have any food for me?"
"Oh?" Chang'an smiled knowingly, "Following the aroma of rice, feelings are no different from dogs?"
"..." Bei Mingxuan was completely confused. He had gotten himself into trouble.
"Chang'an!" Gu Qingfeng said immediately, "Even if it's a joke, you should be tactful."
"Dad, you are biased." Chang'an pretended to be jealous, "I, Gu Chang'an, am your biological daughter, and my last name is Bei Ming.
If outsiders saw my father being so partial, they would think that Bei Mingxuan was your child and I was just a girl picked up from outside.
"Haha." Gu Qingfeng laughed, "You kid, do you think your father is easy to bully?"
"I wouldn't dare. If I bully my father, my mother will definitely crawl out from the ground and scold me." Chang An served porridge to Gu Qingfeng and Bei Mingxuan respectively. "Ninth Prince, try it, okay? What do you smell?"
The smile on Gu Qingfeng's face froze and disappeared in an instant. He said casually, "Don't worry, your mother is a gentle and virtuous woman who never scolds anyone."
Neither Chang'an nor Bei Mingxuan noticed the flash of pain in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
On the contrary, Wan Xin, who had just walked in, saw it clearly. She knew that the look in Gu Qingfeng's eyes was probably because he was thinking of his own princess.
Coincidentally, Chang An glanced and saw Wan Xin staring at Gu Qingfeng in a daze, so he joked, "Aunt Wan Xin, are you so overwhelmed by my father's extraordinary handsomeness that you've become stupid?"
"..." Wan Xin was surprised by Chang An's teasing and blushed. "You are getting bolder and bolder, girl. When did you learn to make fun of your aunt?"
"It's a bit of a joke." Chang'an glanced at his father, then turned to look at Wanxin again. "Aunt, it's been so difficult for you to stay by Chang'an's side for so many years. Have you ever thought about starting your own family? What do you think of my father?"
"..." Wan Xin subconsciously looked at Gu Qingfeng, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. I haven't said anything to the young lady. Please don't misunderstand me."
Wanxin was a little nervous and seemed incoherent.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his daughter helplessly, shook his head without saying a word, and just drank the porridge in front of him with peace of mind.
"Aunt." Chang'an suddenly became cheerful. "Do you really have feelings for my father? How about I bring you two together?"
"No, no." Wan Xin became even more nervous, "Miss, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,
The master has always had your mother, Princess Qiuya, in his heart. Miss, please don't say anything nonsense. I treat the master just like I treat Princess Qiuya.
"Master is my master, and I don't have the slightest improper thought. I consider the place where the young lady and the master are as my home. I...this servant...young lady, please don't have any extravagant thoughts."
"Haha." Chang'an walked up to Wanxin with a smile, "Aunt, look at how scared you are. Look at my father's indifferent expression. You and I have been together for so many years, but Aunt doesn't understand me as well as Dad does."
At this moment, Wan Xin looked at Chang An again and realized that she had been fooled by this girl. "You!"
Chang'an smiled, "Okay, let's get down to business. Today, Auntie asked you to find out which big Buddha Yin Chujiu relies on in the court. Did you find it?"
Wanxin hadn't expected Chang'an to ask directly in front of Bei Mingxuan, "It's the Crown Prince, but it's strange, it seems that it's not just the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince Bei Mingye also seems to have some connection with Yin Chujiu."
"Boyi Pavilion, Yin Chujiu?" Bei Mingxuan asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you curious, or are you looking for something?"
"Curious." Chang'an glanced at his father. "Just now in the central hall, Gu Shirong lost a game of dice with someone in the Gambling Pavilion. Someone from the Gambling Pavilion sent a letter asking Gu Shirong to pay them some money.
So I'm curious, who in the court backs the owner of Gambling Pavilion? Otherwise, a man with only money but no power wouldn't dare to pursue gambling debts among the powerful."
Gu Qingfeng understood Chang'an's words. He said them to Bei Mingxuan as well as to himself.
Chang'an was not willing to let Bei Mingxuan know that she was using the identity of Nangong Lekang.
"Yin Chujiu," Bei Mingxuan said, "He started from scratch and worked as an escort for many years. When Gambling Pavilion opened, he gave a lot of silver to the prince. But this action was instructed by Bei Mingye."
