Chapter 319 They raised you very well.
The wheels were rolling, and the noise outside was very light.
Yu Ting didn't say much after getting off the carriage at night. There were few passers-by on the street, and occasionally there were children laughing wantonly.
She gently lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. She saw the child's father covering the child's mouth in panic, looking back and forth.
"You kid, how many times have I told you that you can't laugh outside these days. If the constables of Jingzhao Prefecture see you, they will punish you for disrespecting the East Palace, which will be troublesome."
The child was not afraid at all.
He was still young and didn't understand much, and he didn't know how insignificant the people were in front of the powerful.
"But don't we still have daddy!"
"Can't daddy protect me? Daddy bought me a windmill, bought me sweet cakes, and let me ride high. Daddy is the most powerful in the world!"
The child's words seemed to be able to merge with the conversation in memory.
A classmate once showed off in front of her.
【“My father is the accountant. Do you know what an accountant is? He is in charge of money!”
Yaoyao raised her chin high.
【“What’s so great about being in charge of money? The money in the accountant’s office is not named after your father. Can your father steal it and give it to you?”】
【“My father is the best. He is capable.”】
She was very proud.
【“No one can beat him. He can make money outside, but he never cares about money. He gave it all to my mother. My mother saved it and said it was all for me!”】
The classmate was dissatisfied.
【“My father also saved money. He said he would find a wife for me in the future.”】
Yaoyao didn’t understand: 【“Finding a wife requires money?”】
She climbed to the desk and stood there, proudly with her hands on her hips.
【“It seems that it is better to raise a daughter. When I grow up, others will use money to marry me.”】
Yu Jingcheng came to pick her up from school at this time. He picked up the cloth bag on the little girl’s seat and tidied her drawer with ease.
The drawer was very messy, with all kinds of things in it.
Half-eaten cakes, lanterns bought on the street, a hairband used by the girl, and several books that she had almost torn.
If it were someone else's father, he would have scolded her long ago. She
doesn't look like she's reading at all.
But Yu Jingcheng asked.
["Why didn't you finish the cakes? Don't you like it? Dad will buy you something else tomorrow."]
After he cleaned up, he held the little person in his arms and went home.
He was very strong, holding the child with one hand, and walked very steadily.
Yaoyao hugged his neck with her arms.
["You are still young, why do you want to marry someone?"]
In the reflection of the sunset, Yu Jingcheng held her, as if they could walk together until the end of time.
["No matter how much those people give, Dad can't bear to give it away."]
I don't know what the girl thought of, she curled her lips in a daze.
Gu Fuju brought the boiled tea to her.
Yu Tingwan came back to her senses, slowly lowered the curtain, and looked at the person opposite. He took it and thanked her again.
Gu Fuju's throat tightened slightly.
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
Yu Tingwan stroked the dark pattern on the teacup with his fingertips, saying nothing.
"Has Wei Zhao ever mentioned to you that I was born into a poor family?"
"Yes."
Gu Fuju's gentle voice came, as if chatting.
"Your grandfather died early, and you and your mother were in a difficult situation. The one or two acres of land left in the family were taken away by your uncles. It was your grandmother who relied on her tofu-making skills to support my studies."
"Dad was the first place in the provincial examination when he was eighteen years old, and he won the second place in the imperial examination the following spring. After the palace examination, he won the first place and entered the Hanlin Academy. Later, he was transferred to the Imperial Censorate by the late emperor to work."
The censor was the most offensive official position.
Yu Tingwan did not interrupt him when he said this.
He listened quietly.
"Dad had just entered the capital at that time, and his experience was not much. He only knew what he had seen and heard in books. He had a lot of ambitions, but he didn't know how muddy the court was. He didn't know how to adapt, and therefore offended many people."
"Fortunately, he later became your grandfather's disciple. He supported him."
It was Jiashan and He Xuran's father, Qingyuan Bo.
"At that time, the late emperor was still alive, and the current empress dowager was only a concubine. Your mother was of high status and arrogant since childhood. Because the concubine had a miscarriage, she was made a princess by the royal family."
"The first time I met your mother was in the Qingyuan Bo's mansion."
Gu Fuju couldn't go to the backyard where the women of the He family lived.
He always avoided it every time he visited. He was always taken to Qingyuan Bo's study by a servant.
"I was talking about official business with your grandfather, and your mother barged in and questioned your grandfather, asking why her monthly salary was always not enough."
How could the He family be short of money for their children? Jiashan was just spending lavishly, but she was unwilling to admit that she was wrong, and wanted Qingyuan Bo to subsidize her.
"Yaoyao, you look a lot like your mother."
"You are sitting in front of me now, and I seem to see her young."
Yu Tingwan asked tentatively: "Are you just here to tell me this?"
"Daddy knows that you want to see me for a very clear purpose, which is to find out about the fire in the Yu family, not to recognize each other."
Yu Tingwan slowly raised her eyes, met Gu Fuju's eyes, and admitted.
"Yes."
Gu Fuju smiled lightly: "They raised you very well."
He said.
"You are a filial child."
Yu Tingwan blinked.
I think there is nothing wrong.
She said seriously: "It was really strange back then. The weather was not dry, and it rained a few days ago. Logically, there would be no fire."
Speaking of this, she obviously talked more.
"It just happened to start."
"I happened to be at home that day and didn't go to school."
"My mother and I were taking a nap, but we didn't fall asleep. I smelled a pungent burning smell and realized something was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I saw fire all over the sky. The fire was so fierce and terrifying. The neighbors who came outside to put out the fire with water made it more and more fierce."
She was choked and couldn't speak, but she was young and could only cry out of fear.
The fire started suddenly.
It was big from the beginning.
Yu Tingwan: "I'm afraid it was premeditated."
"It's not easy to investigate my husband's side after so many years. There is a force that wiped it out early, and He Yushi has no clue either."
"My husband said when he sent me out just now that you will give me an answer."
No wonder.
No wonder Wei Zhao was weird every time he saw him. He seemed respectful, but every word was heartbreaking.
Gu Fuju would not hide anything from Yu Tingwan.
He said in a hoarse voice.
"That power... is under my name."
Yu Tingwan looked over suddenly: "The way they erased clues is exactly the same as my husband's attempt to find out my background, the time when Taifu's wife gave birth in Ze County, and how I went to the Yu family."
"These were also done by Taifu?"
She didn't understand.
But Yu Tingwan was shocked.
Gu Fuju: "The last one is not."
Yu Tingwan nodded.
Yu Tingwan tapped the ground with her toes to digest this fact.
"Gu Wu is your illegitimate daughter?"
She knew.
Back then, the He family did not despise Gu Fuju for his low official position and unstable foundation. Princess Jiashan's marriage to him was a marriage of inferiority.
People outside said that Gu Fuju never took concubines, and he loved his wife and daughter over the years.
Yu Tingwan's eyes changed when she looked at Gu Fuju.
For the sake of an illegitimate daughter, he threw away his own daughter?
Gu Fuju hurriedly said, "No."
"You are my only biological daughter."
"We are here."
"It's hard to explain in a few words. Go in and sit down. Dad will tell you everything you want to know."
Old readers should know that my works are not all the same.
But I'm sorry, because I don't have the habit of writing an outline, let alone keeping a draft. As a result, I found something wrong after writing it and made a revision.
I have written so many books, and this situation should not happen.
Preconceived impressions are very important. If the description was changed at the beginning, I don't think everyone would strongly express that it should not be changed.
I hesitated for a long time when I was revising it. If the description is different, the character's personality and image will change greatly.
But please believe that the author is responsible for the works and characters.
The plot will definitely be smoother.
If there are any contradictions, they will be rounded up.
The story that was typed out word by word and the small world that was created are very cherished by me.
There is no suspicion of deliberately whitewashing Gu Wu.
It will not be changed back.
I bow to everyone gently.
