Vol 2 Chapter 975: The truth emerges

"I want to see the empress, I want to see Gu Ling!"
"Call Gu Ling to see the old man!"
"Unfilial son, doesn't he even listen to what the old man said? Ask him if he still has my father in his heart."
Gu Zhili was in a desperate mood. He was locked up in the study room with Gu Ling's soldiers guarding him at the door. He couldn't move an inch.
However, the person he hates most is Xie's.
He never expected that after a few decades, Xie's would turn out the old things.
Knowing this, he should have dealt with Xie early and would never keep her alive to this day.
"This poisonous woman! Stupid! If the old man is unlucky, can she get a good result? He doesn't understand the truth that the husband and wife are one unit, and both are prosperous.
Gu Zhili thumped the table.
A lot of age, kind of tossing.
咚咚咚...
The rear window was knocked.
Gu Zhili paused, and hurriedly came to the back window, opened a slit, and it was the butler Gu Quan.
Gu Quan was very nervous. In the winter, his forehead was full of sweat.
He huffed and whispered: "Someone is staring, and the younger one has to leave after a few words."
"Say!" Gu Zhili reminded him as soon as possible.
The butler Gu Quan lowered his voice and said, "This incident has already disturbed the empress. The empress sent Mrs. Qian to investigate the matter, and she is likely to ask a small question. What can the old man have to explain?"
Gu Zhili's eyes were fierce, and he said word by word: "What should I say, what should not be said, don't need the old man to teach you."
The steward Gu Quan said hurriedly: "The little one doesn't know anything. In the year his wife passed away, the little one was a errand boy who didn't know anything."
"Very good!" Gu Zhili nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Where is the Xie family?"
"Being locked up in the room, the uncle has arranged for someone to guard it. It is a delusion for the little ones to move closer."
Gu Zhili gritted his teeth and said, "This unfilial son, does he know what he is doing. If this happens, doesn't he know what the consequences will be?"
The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, it was a matter of decades ago. Under normal circumstances, it is too late to cover up, and no one will take the initiative to uncover the truth.
Sometimes it is a kind of happiness to be able to regard what has happened as if not knowing that it has not happened.
This is the attitude that a mature head should have.
However, Gu Ling insisted on lifting the lid and investigating the truth, which was tantamount to losing the face of the Gu clan.
Is the truth so important?
Comparable to family honor? Is it more important than living people?
In Gu Zhili's view, what Gu Ling did was naive and totally unreasonable.
This is not what a mature head should do.
Gu Zhili gritted his teeth and said, "You ask him for the old man, is the dead important or the living important? Even if he hates the old man, shouldn't he think about the children? Gu's reputation is bad, and it doesn't do him any good to the children. Even if there is. The empress is protecting him, and his reputation is stinky, and no one can change it. Don't forget to remind him that he can't rely on the Pei family now! The only thing he can rely on is Gu family."
The butler Gu Quan nodded repeatedly, "Is there anything else the old man can explain?"
Gu Zhili said angrily: "Tell him again, as Gu's family, he has the responsibility to maintain Gu's reputation. You don't need to find out the old past. Also, you solemnly tell him that the old man has never harmed anyone and that Su is seriously ill. Everyone knows about this matter. He is not allowed to be stubborn. If you can believe what the Xie said, Xie is clearly instigating separation, so she can't see the harmony of this family."
Someone is here.
Gu Quan hurriedly said: "Master, the youngest is leaving. Master takes care of your body and waits patiently. Sooner or later the truth will come to light."
After speaking, Gu Quan ran away.
Gu Zhili hurriedly closed the window, freezing him to death.
He rubbed his hands, breathed, and walked to the brazier to warm himself.
Humph!
The truth is revealed?
Where is the truth.
There is no so-called truth in this world.
He seemed to be on fire, the fire was scorching, and he was very uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu is simply the nemesis.
Being a queen empress did not give him any benefit.
If I knew today, why would he be happy for Gu Jiu that day.
However, Gu Zhili has always been puzzled. In my memory, Gu Jiu was very well-behaved before getting married, and was relatively close to his father.
I don't know when she started to treat him more and more badly, more and more indifferent, sometimes he can feel her disgust.
What is going wrong?
When people are old, their memory is not as good as when they are young and strong.
Looking back in his memory, Gu Zhili couldn't think of when the father and daughter got along, and it began to smell of gunpowder.
"Is the old man sorry for her?"
"The old man has prepared a dowry of forty thousand taels for her and has fulfilled her responsibility as a father. What else is she dissatisfied with?"
"The old man didn't trouble her, so why does she hate the old man?"
"Unfilial daughter!"
Gu Zhili cursed in the study alone, venting his anger.
"It worked so hard to pull the girl up, and finally raised a white-eyed wolf."
"I don't believe it, Gu's reputation is bad, and she can benefit from it."
"She treats the old man like this, isn't she afraid that the world will scold her for being unfilial?"
Gu Zhili yelled.
The soldiers were afraid that they would cause trouble to their upper body if they heard what they shouldn't, so they quickly reported to the new Chengping uncle Gu Yu.
哐!
Gu Wei kicked over the Xiao Xiao stool.
He suffocated his anger, "At this time, he still doesn't stop. He even dared to let Gu Quan pass a message to warn me. I don't think he has any regrets at all."
"The matter hasn't been found out yet, don't worry first." Pei Man advised him.
boom!
Gu Ling slammed a fist on the table, "What is his heart? Why does he hate his mother? No, I have to ask him personally."
Pei Man stopped him, "Don't go! You can ask him in the past, but you can't ask anything. It's better to wait for the results of Father Qian's investigation."
Gu Ling was like a sleepy beast, "You told me to do nothing and just wait?"
"Or go back to Beijing to practice."
If there is anger, practice a lot, and it will all vent.
Pei Man's plan was perfect, but Gu Ling was not happy.
"I took time off, so I don't have to go back to Daying before the Lantern Festival."
Pei Man frowned, "Then you can go to the school to practice a soldier, don't just be idle anyway."
It's easy to think randomly when you are free.
Gu Ling took a deep breath and ran out without saying a word.
...
It is not easy to find out the truth about things decades ago.
Those who were laid off at that time were basically dead.
Qian Fu flipped through all relevant household registration registers, activated all his spies, and finally found a former servant who is still alive, who may know the truth of the year and has changed his name.
After some coercion and temptation, he finally opened the old man's mouth.
"...Second son is lustful, and likes women to take the initiative... Young grandmother is born, dignified and elegant, but the second son thinks she is dull and boring. Since the two married, the relationship is not very harmonious... The most serious time, the son got up. Thoughts that shouldn't be there, the two quarreled extremely fiercely...for a long time, the second son never entered the door of the young lady's room..."
The son of the old population is talking about Gu Zhili when he was young.
The second grandmother was Su when she was young.
Qian Fu asked, "You just said that your prince had thoughts that he shouldn't have? Let's ask, what thoughts did he think?"
The old man was very old, his teeth fell out, and he was very old, as if he would die at any time.
In recent years, the old people have been incognito and lived in miserable lives.
He placed the weight of his body on the crutches, and recalled as he said: "The son took a fancy to the second grandmother's cousin who was not out of the five clothes, and took advantage of the banquet to move his hands. This matter was known to the second grandmother... It was very noisy... …The cousin who hadn’t appeared in the fifth server... Then she disappeared..."
"It's gone, dead?"
"I don't know. No one is born, no corpse to die... After a while, the son began to enter and leave the second young lady's room again, that is, at that time, the second young lady was pregnant with the empress."
"Why have you never heard anything about this? The Su family didn't see a girl, so no one said anything?"
"I don't know! Maybe the Su family didn't dare to speak out for fear of embarrassment."
"Does your son have a nursing room back then?"
"never heard of that."
"The little girl from the Su family had an affair with your son, why didn't the aunt of the Gu mansion know that there was such a character? If our family didn't count the time wrong, the Xie family had already entered the Gu family by that time."
"The second son and the young grandmother are silent. The second son is wrong, and the young grandmother is born with a face, so naturally she can't corrupt her family's reputation."
"Is it possible for your son to hate the Su clan for this?"
"The son is not an open-minded person, he is not surprised to do anything."
"Did the Su clan poisoned by your son?"
"do not know!"
"Why don't you know. Back then, you were a close servant by his side, how could his affairs be hidden from you?"
The old man pulled his tattered throat like a leaking bellows.
He let out a few meaningless screams, "I forgot all of the things that year. I don't remember. You asked the wrong person."
"Old man, don’t think about yourself, you should also think about future generations. The Su family is the birth mother of the Queen’s Empress, and the Queen’s Empress is determined to find out the truth. Do you think you can deal with it without knowing it? You are old and dying. , Our family really can't help you. But your children and grandchildren, pinching them to death is like pinching an ant to death. Are you sure you want to play with our family?"
Qian Fu's tone is very light, his eyes are soft, but the words he utters are full of murderous intent, which makes people scared.
A truly deterrent language never needs to roar.
A light and fluttering sentence is enough to scare people.
The old man clutched the cane faucet tightly and said, "I, I...I only know that the son has been very excited when Su was in bed, and he personally told another servant to find medicinal materials for Su to restore his body."
"Where is Gu Congren?"
"died."
"How did you die?"
"Drunk and fell into the water to death."
"When did this happen?"
"That is, half a month before Su's death."
"It turned out to have died before Su's death?"
"Yeah! Gu Cong'ai takes a couple of sips, but he didn't expect to get drunk and fall into the water."
"No one doubts the cause of death?"
"no no……"
"to be frank!"
"Not at the beginning. When Su passed away, I saw the son's emotions and excitement, and laughed privately, and drank to celebrate. I was vaguely skeptical. But I never told anyone about it, and I haven't mentioned a word in these years. "
"Anything else?"
"No, no more. I was a errand boy back then, that's all I know."
