Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 104 Who Am I?

He was sure, but Gu Sixiao couldn't help laughing, "Young master Su is really good at joking, how can you tell me that I am the little lady of the Gu family? Didn't you touch my face? There is no human skin mask..."

Looking up at Su Jingchun, she smiled so much that her brows and eyes were crooked, the tears on her eyes and cheeks were still wet, she looked somewhat ridiculous, but the smile on her lips and tears at the corners of her eyes made this girl look so bright and charming.

It is said that the young lady of the Gu family is a beauty, but she is indeed a beauty—although, it is quite different from what he imagined.

Su Jingchun calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "I trust my intuition! Although it is indeed different from what I thought before, there are many mysterious and difficult things in this world. Even if you don't wear a human skin mask, I can still be sure of it. , you are Gu Sixiao!"

Heart agitated, Gu Sixiao pursed her lips and just smiled.

This was her name, and she was called out again. When she first heard that long-lost name, she was so excited that she almost immediately admitted that it was because she suppressed the excitement forcibly, and she was afraid that she would really call out. "

"The young master is a capable person. He should have checked my background a long time ago. How can he be so confident? Although I am just a little beggar and don't attract attention, there are always people who vaguely remember a couple in the Songjiang Mansion. Difficult brothers and sisters, who used to beg on the street. One is a weak boudoir, the other is a homeless beggar, how could it be possible that the little beggar suddenly became the little lady of the Gu family?"

With a sneer, Gu Sixiao said in a deep voice: "My son said something mysterious and difficult to understand, but it just doesn't make sense, just find an excuse to deceive yourself and others."

"It's you who deceived yourself!" Su Jingchun's voice was still gentle, but very firm, "You also said that you were waiting for a beggar. How could a beggar suddenly become able to write and count? And also He is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and even knows the Gu family's paint formula."

"My lord, I forgot. I'm a girl in the Gu family. Although the Gu family is not a family of officials, they have produced a scholar. As for calligraphy and painting, the master I worship is from the Gu family..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Jingchun laughed, "The more you talk, the more flaws you get! Which study room waits on a girl who can't read big characters? Doesn't it mean that you can enter the study room because you knew how to read before you entered Gu's residence? Besides, That old master, I heard that he only knows how to make fans, but not how to paint them. Also, the art of calligraphy and painting can’t be accomplished overnight. If you can really learn such a painting skill within a year, it’s really amazing. Genius! Miss Gu, I don’t know what you have experienced and how you became such a beggar, but since you said to help each other before, shouldn’t you be sincere?!”

After being silent for a long time, Gu Sixiaofeng still opened his mouth, "Since the young master has identified me as the young lady of the Gu family, it won't help if I try to tell the difference again, right?"

She leaned closer and looked at him with a smile, "Who I am is up to you, even if you say I'm a ghost who resurrects his soul from a dead body, I'll admit it!"

She consciously teased her like this, Su Jingchun must not believe it, but she didn't expect Su Jingchun to say immediately: "Oh, so it's a resurrection of the dead - I've heard such a story before, but I don't want it to be true..."

"You... I, I'm just talking nonsense, why do you take it seriously?"

"There are no unintentional words in this world. Since they are said, there must be a reason..."

Su Jingchun looked at her with such serious and focused eyes, as if he had seen the hidden soul inside through the appearance.

Inexplicably, Gu Sixiao's heart trembled, and for a moment, she seemed to be an evil ghost hiding under the human skin and was about to be caught, feeling extremely guilty.

Confused, she shouted a little irritably: "Young Master Su, just talk to yourself, why bother to ask others, anyway, you won't believe what I say!"

She became angry from embarrassment, but she didn't want Su Jingchun to bear it like that. Not only did she not get angry, but she gave a deep bow and responded solemnly, "Miss Gu, although I have never met Brother Gu, I have been in love with him for a long time. It is a pity that he was wronged." It is a great pity in my life that I could not help you at that time..."

He spoke sincerely, although he didn't pretend to be sad, but Gu Sixiao unconsciously had tears all over his face.

"You, do you believe that my elder brother was wronged?!" Asked in a low voice, she had admitted her identity inadvertently.

Su Jingchun's heart trembled, and he looked at Gu Sixiao, his heart agitated.

Although he believed in it and believed in his intuition, it was too absurd to say it after all, and he was actually not that confident.

But now this woman admitted in front of him that it was Gu Sixiao, a woman who somehow became another little beggar.

Unconsciously pursing his lower lip, Su Jingchun's voice became a little hoarse, "Yes, I believe Brother Gu was wronged! A person who can draw such majestic landscapes will never be a villain with evil in his heart... You know people by looking at paintings, I believe in Brother Gu's character."

"Or intuition?" Before the tears were shed, Gu Sixiao laughed out loud.

"Master Su is indeed Mr. Su. Others only believe in those so-called evidences, but you believe in invisible characters..."

Sucking her nose, Gu Sixiao wiped away the tears on her face, her mood gradually calmed down.

She just said who she was so easily, it was really—after all, it was too useless, and she was cheated out of the truth like this.

"Mr. Su, aren't you afraid? They say that I have resurrected my soul from a dead body! That is an evil ghost. What if it suddenly possesses your body and takes your soul? You are not afraid that I will harm you!"

"If you are afraid, why am I alone with the young lady at this moment?"

Su Jingchun smiled faintly, and instead of looking at Gu Sixiao, he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.

He was a little nervous before, but Gu Sixiao admitted that he didn't feel nervous anymore.

When he figured out her origin, he really only thought of her as a disguise, thinking of a little lady, why should he be afraid, and never thought of letting Su Zhu and others come into the tent with him.

However, thinking about it again, in his selfish heart, he also felt that the little lady of the Gu family was also pitiful, her family was ruined, and she wanted to pretend to be a beggar, not wanting to expose her in front of everyone.

But I didn't want this question to ask such a ridiculous thing!Ha, resurrecting the soul with a dead body? !
"Is it God's pity or did the little lady do too many good things in her previous life? There is such a mysterious thing!"

Looking at his eyes, he didn't seem to be malicious, Gu Sixiao also relaxed a lot.

"Young Master's question is also a question in my heart, or it is because the world is too dark, so I want to give me a chance to find out the murderer who ruined my family!"

Now that the truth is out, Gu Sixiao relaxed, "Mr. Su, now you know that what I told you that day about the murder of the young lady of the Gu family was not false. Not only was it not false, but I experienced it myself. That day , I went to the old house to find evidence, but I didn't want to be murdered..."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, she stopped her mournful voice and said in a deep voice: "The person who killed me is the same group who killed Commander An that day. I have to ask you, who is that person? Is it the new one?" At that time, he was punished by the young master?"

Turning to look at her, Su Jingchun was a little surprised, "It seems that the little lady has thought a lot, and she can guess what Su did..."

"Although the young master is gentle, he is not the kind of person who wants to avoid others who come to kill him. Besides, Commander An died tragically. The young master must give the prince an explanation!"

Surprised by Gu Sixiao's calm words, Su Jingchun looked at Gu Sixiao silently, and after a while, he said: "What the little lady said is that I did ambush the man in black that day, but unfortunately it was only a serious injury. In the end, he was allowed to escape. A few of his subordinates were left behind, but unfortunately, none survived in the end..."

After a pause in his voice, he suddenly laughed again: "After hearing the news from the young lady that day, I did investigate Brother Gu's case..."

As soon as he said this, Gu Sixiao leaned forward to face each other. Although he tried his best to suppress it, his hands were still trembling with excitement.

"Young master, what did you find out? The person who harmed my brother..."

"No solution!" Seeing her excited, Su Jingchun said the result in a deep voice.

Gu Sixiao stared at Su Jingchun in a daze, feeling lost.

"At that time, the one who pressured He Zhi County, which is now the He Zhi Mansion in Jinan Prefecture, to close the case quickly was the present-day sage, so it cannot be ruled out that He Zhi County went to the doctor in a hurry and identified Brother Gu as the murderer in order to escape himself."

"Then after he killed my murderer, he was immediately promoted and became the prefect of Jinan. What's going on?"

"Although the term of office has not expired, it is not impossible to be promoted due to merit..." Su Jingchun smiled, and when he saw Gu Sixiao's face turned cold, he said lightly: "However, I have found out that after Brother Gu was arrested Before the verdict was executed, there was a letter sent to Songjiang Mansion from Beijing..."

"Who? Who wrote the letter? The murderer is that person, right?!"

"Wen Zhongshu, the servant of the official department - an old courtier who is almost sixty years old..."

"It's not him..." I was a little disappointed, but Gu Sixiao immediately ignited hope, "Who is behind him? I know that there are crony disputes among the ministers in the court. Which party he belongs to, he will definitely fight for it." Who will come out?"

"An old fox is the best at flattering people. Last year at Prince Rui's birthday banquet, he even gave a pair of white marble bottles half a person's height. If we talk about who is behind him, there are probably several involved."

Su Jingchun smiled wryly, looked at Gu Sixiao, and said in a low voice: "Don't be anxious, little lady, at least you have some clues now, don't you? As you said, you and I have common enemies, and mutual help is also what we should do."

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, before Gu Sixiao smiled wryly, "What do you mean by helping each other, the young master gave me face. Speaking of which, I am nothing, powerless, powerless, and moneyless. What can you do to help the young master?! I said those words before, because I was too arrogant..."

Looking at her, Su Jingchun remained silent.

Standing up, Gu Sixiao turned her head and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Su, if you find out who is behind the scenes, please let me know. Although I have nothing..."

Without going on, she just smiled and turned to leave.

It was just such a faint smile, but it faintly brought out such determination and sadness.

At that moment, Su Jingchun understood what she hadn't said.

Even if he was smashed to pieces, he would just let that person go!

Is that what you mean?It's just a little girl, as she said herself, without power, power, money, or power, but she has such a determination to die.

"Gu Sixiao——" For some reason, he just called out her name like that.

When she turned her head and looked at him indifferently, his heart throbbed inexplicably.

"Maybe, I can help you..."
