Chapter 28: Saving Mother
Gu Jinxi was taking off the small bag he had been carrying and said casually, "I don't have a father."
Gu Jinxi explained, "Mother said that Dad went out to fight before I was born and never came back. He must have died on the battlefield."
Shen Hechuan's breathing stagnated.
The image of Gu Jinxi's mother suddenly appeared in my mind.
A weak woman raised the child alone, doing her best and giving the child all the good things she had.
But because the child eats so much, we have to live frugally and have a hard time.
Chen Hechuan suddenly felt a little more pity for Gu Jinxi.
But Gu Jinxi continued: "But I don't believe it. I think it was Daddy who abandoned Mom."
"Why do you say that?"
Shen Hechuan was puzzled.
"That's what the storybook says."
Gu Jinxi said: "Dad went out to serve as a soldier, won the war, was promoted by his superiors, was made a general, and then was chosen by the daughter of a high-ranking official.
In order to gain power and status, Daddy concealed the fact that he was married and married someone else."
Gu Jinxi sighed as he spoke.
"Usually at times like this, Daddy would meet Mom again and humiliate her in every way."
"From then on, Mother saw through Father and became independent and strong. In the end, she met another man who was even better than Father and who protected her.
At this time, Daddy regretted abandoning Mom and wanted to ask for her forgiveness, but Mom ignored him and lived happily with the new Daddy.
Gu Jinxi said this with a look of certainty on his face.
"That must be it."
"Otherwise, I really can't understand why my father abandoned my mother, who is so beautiful. He must be disgusted by her background."
Chen Hechuan couldn't help but twitched his lips, "Where did you hear all this from?"
"I learned all this from picture books."
"How old are you? You're already reading a storybook?"
Hearing this, Gu Jinxi stretched out her finger and made a "hush" gesture on her lips.
"I watched it secretly. This is our secret. Please don't tell my mother."
Chen Hechuan nodded in agreement.
Gu Jinxi nodded in satisfaction and then opened the package.
"Uncle, you saved me, took me out to eat, and bought me so many candies.
Then I'll give you a few things, okay?"
As he spoke, he took out a few strange things from his small bag and pushed them in front of Shen Hechuan.
Chen Hechuan didn't care at first, but when he saw what was on the table, his eyes widened.
"What's this?"
Gu Jinxi explained, "This is a crossbow arrow, but it's smaller than normal and can be hidden in your sleeves. It can save your life in critical moments."
Chen Hechuan certainly knew that this was a crossbow arrow, and he was surprised at the ingenious design of the crossbow arrow.
Previously, the crossbows used by the army were too heavy to carry, and they were also extremely difficult and inconvenient to use.
However, this one is not only small, but also extremely exquisite.
Seeing that Chen Hechuan was interested in the crossbow, Gu Jinxi couldn't help but explain a few more words.
"This is something my mother improved. A typical crossbow requires redrawing the bow after each shot, but this one doesn't require that at all. It can fire continuously, which is very convenient."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to a few other things and said, "This is poison, colorless and tasteless. Once you eat it, there is no medicine to cure it. You will explode and die immediately."
"This is a hidden weapon. Just a slight twist can fire countless silver needles. It can kill anyone in a matter of minutes, no matter how many people there are."
"As for this..."
Gu Jinxi introduced them one by one in a torrent of words.
And Shen Hechuan was shocked.
He was a little surprised at first, but as more and more things came out, his shock could no longer be described in words.
"These...were all made by your mother?"
Gu Jinxi nodded.
"Well, but my mother said that these things are for self-defense. They can't be bought or sold, and you can't tell anyone about them."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
He also understood how difficult it was for a woman to raise a child in this world, so he gave up the idea of wanting to see his mother.
After all, with these things, he could give them to the craftsmen, who would surely be able to imitate them.
However, he is now becoming more and more curious about the child's mother.
What kind of woman could make something like this?
But Gu Jinxi sighed again.
"Hey, I originally wanted to use these things to save my mother."
As Gu Jinxi spoke, her eyes instantly turned red and she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Shen Hechuan became a little nervous and asked quickly: "What happened to your mother?"
"My mother was captured by bad guys."
Gu Jinxi was just a child after all. When he thought about the danger his mother might encounter, he could no longer hold back and sobbed softly.
"They wanted to kill my mother. I wanted to save her, but I couldn't even get there. In the end, I was almost kidnapped by the bad guys."
Gu Jinxi started crying as she spoke.
"What about my mother?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan tried to calm Gu Jinxi down while asking him where his mother was imprisoned so he could go and rescue her.
At this moment, Tianji winked at Shen Hechuan.
Upon seeing this, Shen Hechuan quickly took off a jade pendant from his body.
"Don't cry, keep this jade pendant. As long as you have it, there will be no place in the world that you cannot enter."
"Wait for me here for a while. When I'm done, I'll take you to rescue your mother, okay?"
When Gu Jinxi heard that she could go anywhere, she immediately took the jade pendant.
When Shen Hechuan saw that he had finally stopped crying, he left.
"Master, there's something going on at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."
"A woman dressed as a maid came out. She seemed to be buying groceries, but she was secretly contacting a lot of people."
"Maid?"
Shen Hechuan frowned.
"Who is it?"
"We're still unclear. The other party's abilities are no less than ours, so we, the subordinates, dare not follow too closely and can only watch from afar."
"Keep guarding."
After Chen Hechuan made the arrangements, he returned to the elegant pavilion.
Unfortunately, Gu Jinxi was no longer in the room.
At this moment, there was a piece of paper on the table with a line of neat words written on it.
"Uncle, thank you for the jade pendant. I'm going to save my mother."
And in the palace on the other side.
After seeing the signal, Gu Jingchun turned his attention to Chu Qianlan.
She has now regained some of her sanity and is now kneeling before the Queen Mother to repent.
Although she was extremely reluctant to let Gu Yunjin marry the Third Prince, the Third Prince had already decided on her, and no matter what anyone said, it was useless.
Since the matter was already done, even if Chu Qianlan was reluctant, she had to put on a smile and discuss the marriage with the Queen Mother.
When Chu Qianlan finally finished discussing everything and came out of the Queen Mother's Palace to urinate, she was suddenly blocked by Gu Jingchun.
