Prosperous advisors

Chapter 100 The Rejection of Master Xiuting (4)
Mu Qingyi asked Feng Zhishui and Rong Jin to tell Gu Xiuting what Feng Zhishui and Rong Jin had told her in a low voice. While listening to Mr. Xiuting, she couldn't help but change color, and looked at Mu Qingyi with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak.Just by looking at his expression, Mu Qingyi knew that Gu Xiuting must know something that she didn't.Hastily said: "Brother, please tell me. I...I can't let mother die in ignorance."

Gu Xiuting looked at her helplessly, and sighed softly: "This matter... I shouldn't have said it in the first place. My aunt has passed away, and we as juniors shouldn't have said such things. But...you know, Marquis Su Cheng is kind enough to the present emperor to save his life."

Mu Qingyi nodded, knowing that most people in the capital knew about this matter, so it was not a secret.So although Emperor Hua was violent and suspicious, he had always treated Suchenghou's mansion pretty well.

Gu Xiuting said: "I don't know much about... that year. I was just born at that time. My aunt and Marquis Su Cheng were not yet married, but they had already made an appointment. In the early spring of that year, Su Cheng Hou invited his aunt to go out for an outing. Every spring, there are many unmarried couples who invite them to go out for an outing. Naturally, no one takes it seriously. Grandfather and grandmother agreed. It was during this outing that Su Chenghou rescued Weifu at the time. The Emperor Hua who came out of the palace and was assassinated."

Mu Qingyi's heart moved, and she said in a deep voice: "So, it was my mother and... who saved Huahuang together."

Gu Xiuting glanced at Mu Qingyi, nodded his head and agreed with his guess.Then continued: "Not long after that, my grandmother came to visit my mother in the prime minister's mansion, and told my mother that Emperor Hua had secretly signaled to my grandfather that he wanted my aunt to enter the palace as a concubine."

Mu Qingyi couldn't help but took a deep breath. Although she was startled and made a guess, she couldn't help being shocked when the truth was confirmed by her eldest brother, "Grandpa didn't agree?"

Gu Xiuting nodded and said: "Grandfather will naturally not agree. My aunt has already betrothed to Marquis Su Cheng, and Marquis Su Cheng respects her aunt very much even though he can't say he is wholehearted. In any case, it is better than ruining his reputation and going to the palace to be a concubine for the rest of his life." It is much better not to be free. However, since the Emperor Hua has asked his grandfather for an aunt, how can this matter be resolved without his grandfather's consent? In the end, it was the aunt who spoke up on her own. If the Emperor Hua insisted on her entering the palace, she was willing to retire. The marriage with Marquis Sucheng's mansion went into the empty door, and he would never step into the palace door. In the end, Emperor Hua was helpless, and his aunt was on the side to persuade him, so let's forget about it. I just didn't expect..."

No one expected that after more than ten years, Emperor Hua still remembered this incident.What was even more unexpected was that Mu Changming would actually send his wife into the palace, and in the end he killed her.

"Mu Changming! Mu Feiluan!" Mu Qingyi couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said inwardly.

"Qingyi..." Gu Xiuting raised his hand, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Don't be so popular..."

Mu Qingyi raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "I just thought... that my mother suffered so much suffering and wronged, and still died like that... I wish I could burn Suchenghou's mansion to death. Burn it clean!"

"Silly girl." Gu Xiuting sighed softly, "So what if it's set on fire? At worst, they can rebuild it. What they value most, let's destroy it one by one before their eyes, and destroy it completely. In this way, my aunt You can sleep peacefully under the Nine Springs. It's just... Yi'er, Mu Changming is your biological father after all, you really..."

Mu Qingyi said bluntly: "Qingyi only has a mother, not a father! People in the Suchenghou Mansion have nothing to do with me." Looking into Gu Xiuting's worried eyes, Mu Qingyi said firmly.She didn't know how she would choose if it was her cousin, but this was Gu Yunge's choice!Even if her cousin hates her in the future, she will never change in the slightest.

"It's been hard for you these years." Looking at her indifferent face, Gu Xiuting whispered.In the past, Qingyi was a simple child who didn't know the world, and was doted on by everyone.Even though he was not favored in Suchenghou's mansion, both the Zhang family and the Gu family loved this innocent and introverted child very much.In contrast, Yun Ge, who is two years older, is so good and independent that people forget that she is not really old.Even the then Prince Murong Xi treated Qing Yi well in terms of Yun Ge and his face.What kind of environment can hone an innocent girl into her current appearance?
Mu Qingyi smiled faintly, "Qingyi is fine, brother is suffering." Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Qingyi quickly pulled out the jade pendant that she wanted to give to Gu Xiuting last time from her cuff and said: "Brother, this Back to you."

Gu Xiuting shook her head and pushed her hand back.Mu Qingyi looked at her suspiciously, Gu Xiuting said with a light smile: "Back then, grandfather left a rule that whoever gets it first will get it, and it cannot be transferred."

"But, this belongs to the elder brother. And... if it is convenient for the elder brother, he will definitely get this before me." Mu Qingyi insisted, "These belong to the Gu family. After handing them over to the elder brother, revive the Gu family. Is it a matter of course?"

"Reviving the Gu family?" Gu Xiuting's eyes were far away, and the hideous scar on his face was even more shocking because of his thin but handsome face.After a long time, Gu Xiuting slowly shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether the Gu family can be revived or not. Yi'er, you can use these to do whatever you want."

Mu Qingyi couldn't help being stunned, and seemed unable to understand what her elder brother said for a moment.If the eldest brother is really gone as she thought at first, then it really doesn't matter.How can we talk about revival when people are gone?But the eldest brother is still alive, isn't it a matter of course to revitalize the Gu family?

Seeing her stunned and stunned look, Gu Xiuting smiled and said leisurely: "Yi'er, have you thought about how to revitalize the Gu family? Re-support a prince or King Ping, fight for power and wait until the new emperor ascends the throne. The Gu family can be rejuvenated. But... so what? Maybe... decades later, it will be another disaster. My grandfather promised that if no one takes it within five years, all the wealth of the Gu family will be scattered among the people all over the world. .Yi'er can understand why?"

Mu Qingyi wanted to refute Gu Xiuting's words, but she didn't know where to refute.As the eldest brother said, in addition, the support thought that the prince would fight for the throne, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would rehabilitate the Gu family, and then the Gu family would be revived again?But just thinking about it, Mu Qingyi felt that she didn't want to, whether it was assisting other princes or even Murong Xi who was a cousin, she didn't want to.The Gu family was destroyed, and Murong Yu, who framed the Gu family, must be the culprit.However, if Emperor Hua had even the slightest trust in the veteran who had assisted him for decades, it would be absolutely impossible to convict the Gu family with such clumsy evidence.Why do the dignitaries in the capital dare not talk about the Gu family, because everyone knows in their hearts that it is not King Gong who really wants the Gu family to die, but the emperor on the Jiuchong throne.
