Chapter 227 Come, go home
At the same time.
Go to the capital.
Because of Qing Tan's suicide, many officials involved were trembling with fear.
The fifth prince Ying Yin knelt outside the imperial study to plead for mercy.
Emperor Ying Qian was very angry and refused to see anyone.
People in the palace dared not breathe, for fear of being implicated.
Gu Fuju was wearing an official uniform embroidered with a crane pattern, holding a book from the library in his hand, and walking on the palace road.
Walking beside him was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery: "It's also strange."
A few days ago, he was still talking to Qing Tan.
As the uncle of the fifth prince, he is so arrogant.
"The news of his death has spread so much outside, and the news is more informed than you and me. Do you think it has anything to do with the East Palace?"
"If it really counts, it would not be too much to execute the entire Qing family. Is it possible that the emperor will let him go for the sake of the fifth prince?"
If the Qing family is gone, it would be a small matter for the fifth prince to be implicated, but it would be a big deal if most of his power was cut off.
"You said..."
Gu Fuju frowned and interrupted: "Be careful with your words." " The emperor will
make his own decision on how to deal with Qing Tan."
The loyal and brave marquis who was talking excitedly sneered.
"What are you afraid of?"
He looked around and saw no one, so he lowered his voice.
"Wei Fengxing was cautious in his words
and deeds, but he died. Wei Xiaozi was well-behaved and respectful, but he also died." He felt that Wei Zhao's death was related to the one on the dragon throne. Otherwise, how could the war be won, so why did it go wrong!
"I know it in my heart, and you know it in your heart too."
At this point, he sighed.
"Before, when my son learned that Wei Xiaozi had an accident, he was so distraught that he wiped his tears several times behind his back, as if I, his father, had died."
"But I don't know what happened. After transporting the coffin back from Ze County, he was like nothing happened. When mentioning Wei Xiaozi, he even cursed him as a dog."
The loyal and brave marquis felt that his son Xiao Huaiyan was quite a bastard. I thought he and Wei Zhao had some brotherly love.
Gu Fuju has broad shoulders and deep eyes. He has been in a high position for many years and is intimidating without being angry.
He looked forward: "The mouth is the source of trouble. You should understand this truth."
The loyal and brave marquis wanted to say something else: ...
He has never seen a particularly strong emotion on Gu Fuju's face.
This person seems to be sure of success in everything he does.
He was scared when he saw his face stern.
The loyal and brave marquis did not care about him.
After all, Gu Fuju is just like this.
I don't know what kind of person he is at home. He
should be gentle to his wife and daughter.
The wife of the loyal and brave marquis complained to the loyal and brave marquis more than once, saying that every time the wife of the Taifu went out, the Taifu would go to pick her up when he was free. A few days ago, she even put down her official duties and accompanied her to the temple to pray for blessings.
Usually, Gu Fuju thought he was noisy when he said a few words. He
was patient when he accompanied his wife.
After leaving the palace, Gu Fuju said goodbye to him and got on the carriage back home alone.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Sir, we're here."
Gu Fuju lifted the curtain of the carriage, stepped on the footstool, and climbed up the steps. As soon as he stepped over the threshold and walked in, he saw the housekeeper rushing out.
The housekeeper saw him and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master."
"You are so irritable. What happened?"
"The girl has a fever and is very hot all over. I'm going to find a doctor."
Gu Fuju, who wanted to go to the study, paused and changed direction to the back house.
But after a few steps, he was stopped again.
It was the servant who served the pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the study.
"Master, someone came from the He cousin's side and said he wanted to see you. He looked very anxious and asked you at least five times if you had come back. I'm afraid it's something important."
Gu Fuju frowned.
He said, "Let the nanny who serves Awu be more attentive. I will go to see her later."
"Yes."
Gu Fuju returned to the study.
When He Xuran's confidant saw him, he bowed deeply.
Gu Fuju: "Is your son okay?"
"My uncle, everything is fine."
The confidant held the letter with both hands: "The son has repeatedly told me to deliver this letter to you."
What letter can't pass through other people's hands?
Of course it can't be a family letter.
Gu Fuju took it.
The confidant lowered his head and continued, "Young Master said that if it is a misunderstanding, it would be the best. If not, you will know it after reading it."
"His affairs are waiting for the emperor's decision. It is estimated that he will be back soon. See if he stays for a few more days or something."
Even though Gu Fuju is knowledgeable, he was confused.
After completing official duties, he naturally returned home, Ze County...
Thinking of that place, Gu Fuju's eyes darkened.
He opened the letter.
There were only two lines of words written inside.
——The Yu family in Ze County had suffered a strange fire. The person behind it wanted to kill them. The reason is unknown and there is no clue.
——There is a portrait of the adopted daughter, Ajie, who is the same age as Awu.
Gu Fuju, who has always been calm and composed, suddenly changed his expression.
The hand that went to take the teacup shook violently, and the tea set fell down, fragments all over the floor, and boiling hot tea splashed everywhere. But he stared at the letter as if he didn't feel any pain.
Veins popped up on the back of his hand, he couldn't believe it, and looked at it again and again.
————
It was dusk when he returned to Ze County from the bamboo forest in the suburbs. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the fields, and everything around seemed particularly soft.
Yu Tingwan lay on the carriage, unaware of what was happening outside.
Looking at the scene outside.
She was in a good mood.
But soon she found something wrong.
"This is not the way home."
Wei Zhao hadn't rested for a day, and his face was a little tired.
"Yes."
Yu Tingwan:? ?
She pursed her lips and asked: "Do you think my eyes are bad or my brain is bad."
Wei Zhao thought for a while.
The girl didn't think he was handsome, which showed that his eyes were not good.
As for the brain, who is smarter than her, but she often pretends to be stupid.
Seeing him silent for a long time.
Yu Tingwan was stunned and couldn't figure it out: "Do you still want to consider it?"
Wei Zhao said slowly: "I'm afraid of offending you."
"But you... have already offended me."
The couple looked at each other.
Yu Tingwan sat up straight and said angrily: "It's so obvious, why don't you make up for it?"
Wei Zhao soothed her gently: "Wait."
Yu Tingwan: ???
Do we have to wait for this?
She felt that Wei Zhao was more or less spoiled.
The scene outside was unfamiliar.
Yu Tingwan was in no mood to look at it anymore, and the corners of her mouth slid down a little bit.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Tingwan saw that the man hadn't made a move, and couldn't help but argue with him, so the carriage stopped.
Wei Zhao: "We're here."
He got up and got out of the carriage, and then lifted the curtain and waited for her to come out.
Yu Tingwan was puzzled.
The girl bent down and got out of the carriage. She looked around, and she was stunned.
Then she became confused.
What came into view was a house that was neither big nor small, with two lanterns hanging on it and two small stone lions standing outside the door.
It was a little strange, but familiar.
She seemed to see a delicate little girl who once held a bowl and ate the meat inside. She ignored Hu Yu Niang's dissuasion and insisted on sitting on the stone lion, swinging her feet and waiting for her father.
Wei Zhao's voice was in her ear.
"I gave a sum of money to the people who lived here before and asked them to move out."
"This place was rebuilt, and the layout is very different. After I bought it, I invited Aunt Li from the clothing store to come and help with the repairs and furnishings. Try to follow the previous ones as much as possible."
But Aunt Li was not a member of the Yu family after all, and too many years had passed, so she couldn't be particularly detailed.
"I estimate it's only 50% similar."
The girl's eyes slowly raised up.
It was the newly replaced storefront, with the words Yu Family written on it.
Wei Zhao stretched out his hand to her.
"Come."
He smiled.
"Go home."
