Sure enough, the puppet-turned-"Gu Muyue" definitely couldn't hide it from her grandfather, whose blood was thicker than water and hurt her to the core. She knew she had been exposed!
Gu Muyue lowered her eyelashes and did not answer, and kept glancing at Gu Yuan with even more guilty eyes.

It wasn't that she was heartless, she could deeply feel every concern Gu Yuan showed for her. It was true that she didn't take into account her grandfather's mood when she sneaked out this time.

And Gu Yuan had no intention of letting go of Gu Muyue and continued to mutter in her ears.

"You are still young and have no cultivation to protect yourself. Grandpa does not want to trap you in the Gu family and prevent you from going out for the rest of your life. He just hopes that you will be safe for the rest of your life."

"Last time someone from the Bai family attacked you, grandpa failed to protect you in time. If you have another accident this time, what should grandpa explain to your parents in the future?"

The faces of his son and daughter-in-law suddenly appeared in Gu Yuan's mind, his eyes were red, and his usually straight and broad back suddenly bent slightly at this moment, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

In the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Gu family has always been an upright hero. Zeyun City used to be a relatively backward town in Tianjin Kingdom. It was Gu Yuan who led Zeyun City to great heights.

In the beginning, the Gu family did not own such a large mansion as it does now, only a dilapidated thatched house and a few acres of land.

The young Gu Yuan had lofty ambitions in his heart. He was not willing to accept mediocrity, so he took his brothers to fight in Tianjin Kingdom, and finally joined the army as he wished, and spent his whole day fighting the enemy on the battlefield.

But later, as Gu Yuan's official position became bigger and bigger, he climbed up from a small soldier to the position of general. At the same time, his heroic achievements were also spread to the emperor's ears one after another. Everyone knew that the Tianjin Kingdom was An invincible general.

For a time, Gu Yuan's reputation among the people was so loud that it even slightly overshadowed the emperor. As expected, this rising star was destined to arouse the emperor's deep fear.

He was very afraid that Gu Yuan would be superior to his master, so he started from Gu Yuan's bad temper and stubborn character, and cooperated with the sanctimonious officials to deliberately pick on him and let him resign and return to his hometown.

Gu Shen was forced to stay in Xuandu to replace his eldest brother and became a general. Although it sounded nice on the surface, Gu Shen's title of general had no real power at all, and his life in Xuandu was also in dire straits.

When Gu Yuan returned to Zeyun City, he was not depressed because of the emperor's targeting. Instead, he worked harder and began to concentrate on being the head of the Gu family. He continued to develop the Gu family, and in the process even led to the development of the entire Zeyun City.

Although the emperor was filled with hatred, he had no choice. Zeyun City was still far away from Xuandu. He had so many things to do and had no time to deal with Gu Yuan. He could only watch the Gu family getting better and better.

But he didn't expect that a few years later, the Gu family would produce an amazing genius who shocked the entire Eastern Continent, namely Gu Muyue's father - Gu Yan!
At a young age, he had already shown his impressive talent. At the age of 20, he entered the realm of Spirit King. He was the youngest Spirit King in the entire Eastern Continent. For a time, the name of the Gu family was resounding all over the world.

Zeyun City suddenly became one of the four major cities in Tianjin Kingdom, and the Gu family even squeezed into the top five aristocratic families in Tianjin Kingdom, becoming the well-deserved number one family!

For a time, the Gu family was extremely prosperous, and everyone envied Gu Yuan for having such a powerful son.

The emperor shamelessly arranged for the son of his most beloved concubine, He Jingwei, to be married to Gu Muyue while he was still in his belly, and even let him live in Zeyun City since he was a child, so as to facilitate the cultivation of relationships in the future. .

However, all this turned into bubbles when Gu Yan and his wife both mysteriously disappeared.

Gu Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't even get sick. When he woke up, he was even more depressed. He stayed in his room every day as if he was lost in thought. He didn't eat or drink, and he didn't pay attention to things at home. He was alone and depressed for a long time.

Until one day, he suddenly started managing the Gu family again as if nothing had happened, like a tireless puppet who seemed to want to use tedious affairs to forget the grief of losing his son and daughter-in-law.

But no one knows how he spent those days in the room and what he was thinking about. "Grandpa." Gu Muyue felt uncomfortable as if something was blocking her heart when she saw Gu Yuan showing such a lonely and sad expression.

This was the first time that grandpa mentioned the original owner's parents in front of him.

In Gu Muyue's memory, every time she asked her grandfather where her father and mother were, her grandfather would just smile and change the subject, never answering her directly.

Not only to himself, grandpa has never mentioned his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law in front of anyone for so many years. Everyone has even forgotten that grandpa has such two children.

Everyone also had a tacit understanding not to mention it in front of Grandpa. These two people seemed to have become a hidden taboo in the Gu family, until they were gradually forgotten.

But this time, grandpa actually took the initiative to reveal the pain in his heart in front of him, and once again bloodyly mentioned his son and daughter-in-law who had been missing for a long time and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Gu Muyue knew that her grandfather had already been burdened with too much, and as the orphan of the two of them, her grandfather devoted himself wholeheartedly and gave everything he had to himself.

Not only because she is his only granddaughter, but also because she is the only child left by his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and is their last thought in the world!

He has already experienced the pain of losing a son, the decline of his family, and being besieged on all sides. If his only granddaughter suffers another accident, the heart of this old man who is over fifty years old may really be unable to bear it.

Seeing the grief, forbearance, helplessness, sourness, love and other complex emotions in Gu Yuan's eyes, Gu Muyue's heart was drawn to her early and she was moved by it.

In the past, she was too eccentric, habitually taking everything on her shoulders, bearing it and completing it alone, which made her family members who really cared about her feel uneasy in the unknown and fearful for their own safety.

She decided to tell her grandfather the facts and the truth. At the very least, she would reassure him that she was truly a changed person, instead of just a nestling that could only hide under his wings and receive protection all her life.

Gu Muyue took a deep breath, retracted her fists, looked at the old man in front of her seriously, and said word by word: "Grandpa, there is something I haven't told you yet."

Although I can't confess that I somehow borrowed the body of the original owner to revive, I can still talk about other things. For no other reason than to facilitate my various actions in the future, I have to explain it sooner or later.

What's more, telling him directly now can make grandpa feel more at ease!

The tears in Gu Yuan's eyes had not dried up yet. When he suddenly heard this, he looked at his granddaughter in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"

Not knowing what he thought of, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened slightly, he pinched Gu Muyue's thin shoulders anxiously, and looked left and right, with a frightened look on his face.

"It's not like you accidentally provoked someone outside these days and is planning to hurt you! Don't be afraid! Grandpa is here! No one can touch my granddaughter!"

Gu Yuan was very domineering. As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and a strong aura erupted from his body. The calligraphy and paintings hanging behind him even moved automatically without any wind, making a lot of noise.
