Luo Xuening didn't understand what was going on at first, but when Gu Shuchang mentioned his father, some memories suddenly flooded into Luo Xuening's mind.
That was Gu Shuchang's father, Gu Hang, who always teased little Luo Xuening with a serious face. Every time he made little Luo Xuening cry or laugh, he would laugh out loud.
But Luo Xue Ning had to admit that Gu Shuchang's father was much tougher than Gu Shuchang. He was a righteous general who was not afraid of power and was dedicated to defending his country.
Such a heroic character, although his life was not satisfactory and he was suppressed by the people from the eldest branch of the Gu family in the first half of his life, he lived a life with integrity.
Now, hearing Gu Shuchang's tone, Luo Xue Ning realized that General Gu Hang might be in trouble. Such a righteous man was slandered as a murderer. Luo Xue Ning couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Luo Xuening sighed. To be honest, she didn't really want to get involved in this matter because Gu Hang represented the third branch of the Gu family.
The mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Gu, is from the eldest branch of the Gu family, and she has the Empress behind her to support her. Although Luo Xuening is Gu Shuchang's fiancée, she still has to obey the Gu family on the surface. If Luo Xuening helps Gu Hang this time, it means that she is an enemy of Mrs. Gu and the first and second branches of the Gu family.
Considering Gu's petty nature, seeing Luo Xue Ning going against her right under her nose, it's hard to say how she will treat Luo Xue Ning.
She was not afraid of Gu, but she had a crazy aunt at home, and she was afraid that Gu would vent her anger on aunt Ye.
However, having said that, now that Luo Xue Ning and Gu Shi have fallen out, even if Luo Xue Ning does not intervene in this matter, can Gu Shi let go of her so-called fiancée of Gu Shuchang?
Luo Xue Ning analyzed her situation. Although she was in a dire situation now, it seemed that helping Gu Shuchang investigate the case would not make her situation worse. Moreover, although Gu Shuchang was a stubborn person, he was kind-hearted and clear about gratitude and grudges. If she helped him, Gu Shuchang would owe her a favor in the future. If Luo Xue Ning really couldn't live in Nanshao Country one day, she could find a refuge there.
Thinking of this, Luo Xuening had already made up her mind, but she didn't want to have anything to do with this moody and tyrannical Lord Jing.
Well, we have to stay away from Prince Jing, Luo Xu Ningru thought to herself, gathered her thoughts, and said solemnly to Gu Shuchang.
"Gu Shuchang, I don't know the interests behind this, but if General Gu is really wronged, I am willing to find out the truth for him."
Luo Xuening's tone of voice was very calm, as if she was just chatting about daily life. However, from avoiding the case at the beginning to taking the initiative to take on the responsibility now, he
She had her own conflicts in her heart, but she never showed them to others.
"But first you have to tell me what happened."
After listening to Gu Shuchang's narration, Luo Xuening finally understood that the deceased was named Liu Jing, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Liu Jing and General Gu had always been at odds with each other. This time, just before Liu Jing died, Gu Hang, for some unknown reason, went crazy and rushed to the Liu family compound, and started fighting with Liu Jing. The two fought very hard. Liu Jing was weak and naturally suffered a lot of injuries. He was still holding on at the time. Later, as soon as Gu Hang left, Liu Jing fell into a coma. A doctor was called to treat him, but the rescue was ineffective and he died.
In this way, Gu Hang became the direct murderer of Liu Jing. This case angered the Emperor Dalu, who originally wanted to punish Gu Hang. However, the Minister of Justice Yang Mingzhong was reluctant to draw a conclusion.
Yang Mingzhong was also a stubborn person. In the past, when a case came into his hands, he would only make a judgment when there was solid evidence. However, in the case of Liu Jing, the evidence was solid in the eyes of outsiders, but in Yang Mingzhong's view, there were many doubts.
The current emperor is at his wits' end with the quarrel between the three parties. On one hand, the Liu family is making accusations, on the other hand, the Gu family is crying out for injustice, and Yang Mingzhong is still adding to the chaos. These three parties represent not only ministers, but also the battle between the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice.
The three-way confrontation, leaning towards any side, would bring uncertainty to the rule of Nanshao. The emperor had no choice but to send a town of people who lived on the scene to investigate the case.
The best candidate is Prince Jing Long Moxun, because this Prince Jing has always been cruel, never participated in court struggles, and even always rebelled against the emperor, but this did not prevent him from thoroughly investigating the case. It is also the most convincing to have Prince Jing investigate.
Gu Shuchang originally didn't have much hope. After all, what he had done to Luo Xue Ning in the past was too much. But at this moment, hearing Luo Xue Ning's promise, Gu Shuchang was still deeply moved.
He pulled Luo Xuening's sleeve excitedly, his face full of emotion: "Ning'er, thank you, you are so amazing, I think our father can be saved."
“……”You wish.
At one point, Luo Xuening wanted to beat Gu Shuchang to death. How stupid was this guy? Didn't he realize that she hated him at all?
Our father, you pushed your own fiancée to death with your own hands, don’t you have any idea of the situation?
Although, the original owner's death cannot be entirely blamed on Gu Shuchang, as it was Gu who deliberately planned everything. He first used drugs to damage the original owner's physical foundation, and then was pushed by the brainless Gu Shuchang, causing her to die from excessive blood loss. However, if Luo Xuening were to forgive Gu Shuchang, she couldn't do it.
Presumably, the original owner would not want to forgive him.
Luo Xuening glanced at Gu Shuchang indifferently, having already made up her mind, and said indifferently.
"Don't worry, once your father is cleared of all charges, he will no longer be our father."
"What?"
Gu Shuchang was stunned and simply couldn't figure it out, while Long Moxun had a sullen face as he watched the interaction between Gu Shuchang and Luo Xuening. For some reason, when he heard Luo Xuening say this, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.
Although, Long Moxun himself didn't know why he was so happy about the couple's divorce. Well, he probably just wanted to see Gu Shuchang's ferocious look.
After looking at the corpse, it was already very late. Luo Xue Ning yawned and asked Long Mo Xun with her eyes, "Can I go back now?"
Long Moxun understood immediately. He clearly saw the fatigue in Luo Xuening's eyes. He opened his mouth but warned her: "The emperor only gave me three days. Now there is still one day and one night left. Do you think you can go back and rest now?"
