Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 99

In the 25th year of Xuanyuan, eight-year-old Gu Fangling was secretly sent out of Yancheng.Not knowing that the direction of the carriage was actually Yecheng, Gu Fangling curled up in the carriage with tears in her eyes, hoping that her brother would show up immediately and take her home.

Grandpa died, and so did mother.She has only one family member left in this world, her brother, but his brother didn't come to save her.She didn't want to leave Guhou's mansion, and she didn't want to leave her brother.

Even though her grandmother and father don't like her, and even though her stepmother is the Aunt Chen she hates the most, Guhou Mansion is her home, and she wants to live at home with her brother...

Just when Gu Fangling was sad, the carriage drove into the territory of Yecheng.

Suddenly, there was an emergency stop, and the carriage bumped and shook several times before it calmed down.

Is it brother who came to pick her up?Gu Fangling wiped away her tears and poked her head out curiously.

"What's going on?" The guard who escorted Gu Fangling all the way shouted impatiently.

"There's a child in front who fainted on the road." The groom driving the carriage was just an ordinary person, soft-hearted and sincere.Seeing a child lying in the middle of the road, he stopped immediately.

"What do you care about so much? Let's go, hurry up. If there is a delay, who will be responsible?" The guard did not have that kind of sympathy, and shouted at the groom to drive away.

"Wait." It wasn't Gu Changlin who came, and Gu Fangling couldn't help being a little disappointed.But it was heard that a child fainted, and hurriedly got out of the carriage.Without waiting for the guard and groom to react, they jumped out of the carriage.

"Girl!" The guard stepped forward dissatisfied and wanted to carry Gu Fangling back to the carriage, but Gu Fangling resisted.

"Didn't you see someone fainted? Why don't you send him to the nearest hospital right away!" Taking a closer look, he turned out to be a strange child.Gu Fangling ordered to the guard without hesitation.

The guard was already extremely reluctant, but because many people surrounded him, he could only obediently obey his orders, and honestly carried Wei Qingmo into the carriage.Anyway, Gu Fangling's death was imminent, so there was no need to worry about the so-called difference between men and women.

When going out, there are not so many rules and particularities.This is what my grandfather often taught Gu Fangling.Ever since, Gu Fangling did not object to the arrangement of the guards, and allowed Wei Qingmo to be sent into the carriage she was riding in.

Sending Wei Qingmo to the nearby medical clinic, Gu Fangling didn't stay long. Under the repeated urging of the guards, he only left enough money for the diagnosis and treatment of Wei Qingmo, and then turned around and boarded the carriage.

And Wei Qingmo, who was in a daze, only remembered the jade gourd hanging on Gu Fangling's waist, and Gu Fangling's vaguely chubby face.

Because of the timely arrival of Deputy General Wang Jing and his party in Yecheng, Chen Ziyun's vicious plan failed.Gu Fangling, who was extremely tired, couldn't help but fell asleep after a long journey.Even the danger that happened that night, she was not aware of it at all.

When Gu Fangling woke up again, the carriage had already sailed to Licheng smoothly.It was only when she stood firmly outside the gate of the other courtyard in Licheng that Gu Fangling finally realized that she had really been abandoned.

At that time, Gu Fangling was still young, and she was pampered by her mother since she was a child. She had never seen the darkness outside, and she was very willful.The elder brother who was looking forward to it never showed up, and when he finally despaired, Gu Fangling and Gu Changlin were also included in the category of bad guys.

In the third year of Xuanqing, Yancheng, Guhou Mansion.

Gu Fangling, who was missed by Gu Changlin and Wei Qingmo, was already terminally ill, and there was only a trace of breath left.

"Miss, just wait a little longer, the young master will be back soon. The news of the victory of the army has already been sent back to Yancheng, and the young master is now on his way back, and will arrive in a day or two. Miss, please Don't give up, Mrs. Xiaohou is still waiting for you to avenge her and the little master..." Lying beside Gu Fangling's bed, Lan Yan couldn't help crying, her face was as pale as paper, and she begged tremblingly.

"Lan...Lan Yan, tell my brother for me, I don't blame him...let him avenge his sister-in-law and little...little nephew, I...I have tried my best to wait for him to...come back..." Gu Fangling There was no trace of blood on the thin face, but when he heard the news about Gu Changlin, he showed a bright smile, and his dry eyes shone with a frightening light.

"Well! Lan Yan knows how to report to the young master. Miss, you can just wait for the young master to come back. When the young master comes back, everything will be fine." I don't know that Gu Fangling is just a fleeting flashback at this moment , Lan Yan nodded vigorously, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a relieved smile.The dark clouds hanging over their heads were finally about to dissipate.

In the fourth year of Xuanqing, under the wise governance of Wei Qingmo, the country of Yan successfully quelled the war, and the lives of the people became more and more comfortable.

As for Gu Changlin, ever since he returned to Yancheng, he has been in an unprecedented state of rage.Not only Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao, but also Gu Houye and Su Shi were all hated by Gu Changlin.

Regarding Gu Changlin's actions, Wei Qingmo saw everything in his eyes, not only did he not stop him at all, but from time to time he made things easier for Gu Changlin, helping Gu Changlin with a helping hand.

"Gu Changlin, are you crazy? Isn't it just a woman who can remarry after death. You are the real master of Guhou Mansion now, what else can't you get?" Gu Changlin resisted like never before. Unable to resist the blow, Su Shi lay on the bed, pointed at Gu Changlin and cursed bitterly.

Gu Changlin didn't answer, his indifferent face was full of hatred towards Su Shi.Su Shi has controlled him for so many years, although he didn't like Su Shi's actions, but he never thought that Su Shi would have such a murderous intent on Qi Yan and Gu Fangling.

Now Gu Changlin, no matter what Su said, he would never forgive what he did.This unfeeling was exchanged for the lives of Qi Yan's mother and son and Gu Fangling's life. Gu Changlin couldn't be indifferent, let alone forget it cruelly.

Although the Su family has the friendship to support him, it is not worth three fresh lives.The current Gu Changlin would not hesitate to make an enemy of the whole world.

Su couldn't understand his pain, nor could he feel his despair.Even in the face of death at any moment on the battlefield, he would not frown.But when he returned to Guhou's mansion, the joy of triumph disappeared in an instant, leaving him with endless pain.

Lan Yan told Linger's last words verbatim, but Gu Changlin didn't feel relieved at all.As long as Ling'er is still alive, it doesn't matter even if she continues to hate him.As long as Ling'er is alive, he wants Qi Yan and the child in her stomach to be safe and well.

"Do you care about the child in that woman's womb? Changlin, grandma is also very distressed that the blood of Guhou's mansion is gone like this. But this is the end, grandma hopes that you can calm down and don't be confused by anger. Grandma has already I personally selected a suitable marriage for you, and the wedding date has already been negotiated, and we can get married immediately after you come back. You..." Facing Gu Changlin's unusual silence, Su knew that a tough attitude was useless, so he had no choice but to change. Strategies, eagerly changing the subject.

Seeing all of Su's intentions, Gu Changlin sneered: "Qi Yan and the life of the child in my stomach, I will naturally take back. But, in Grandma's heart, does Ling'er have no place at all?" Was it? Grandmother forgot, in order to bring Ling'er back from the Chen family, I wouldn't stop even if I beat Chen Junbao into trouble?"

"You... You really did it on purpose." Pointing at Gu Changlin with trembling fingers, Su raised her voice in disbelief.

Chen Junbao couldn't explain this matter humanely anymore, at first Su only thought that Gu Changlin did it by mistake.Unexpectedly, as Chen Ziyun and the Chen family thought, Gu Changlin deliberately wanted to vent his anger on Gu Fangling.

In this way, she let Chen Ziyun get rid of Qi Yan, but she was right?At least an explanation to the Chen family also dispelled the anger of Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao.Is it wrong for her to do this?
The bigger picture matters.Gu Fangyao is now the fifth prince's concubine, a member of the royal family, and has won the attention of the sage.Su Shi didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice.After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Yan's sacrifice is necessary and worthwhile.

Gu Changlin pursed his lips tightly, neither admitting nor denying it.In fact, he really didn't mean it.At that time, he was only focused on taking Ling'er back to the mansion, and in a fit of rage he beat Chen Junbao hard.

Because of being angry, Gu Changlin really didn't spare any energy, except that he couldn't remember the killer, he just hit wherever he saw, and kicked Chen Junbao a lot of feet one after another.Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that Chen Junbao, who had been severely beaten by him, would no longer be able to spread his wings for the Chen family.At this point, the Chen family's way to have children has been cut off.

If the Chen family hadn't sternly suppressed the news, Gu Changlin wouldn't have left Gu Fangling alone in Gu Hou's mansion with such peace of mind.I thought that the current Ling'er was no longer taken seriously by those people, but who would have thought that all the peace was just pretending to show him.In order to make him take it lightly, Chen Ziyun, Gu Fangyao and the entire Chen family put on a play in front of him.

The so-called reconciliation is just an expedient measure.The Chen family never thought of letting Ling'er go, and Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao even took advantage of his absence in Yancheng without hesitation, and murdered Ling'er, Qi Yan's mother and son.

"Originally, I was still regretting the life of the child in Qi Yan's womb. He was the heir of our Guhou Mansion, and shouldn't be ruined by Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao so cruelly. But it turns out that everything is your own fault, The one they really want to take revenge on is you." Qi Yan's life, Su Clan doesn't care.Su Shi had expected the child in Qi Yan's womb.

After all, Gu Changlin was brought up by her alone. It is impossible for the Su family to be completely indifferent to Gu Changlin's first son.Even though, she extremely dislikes Qi Yan, the granddaughter-in-law.But there is no way, who made Qi Yan a marriage bestowed by the Lord.No matter how courageous Su Clan is, he would not dare to challenge the royal family.

Therefore, upon learning of the bad news coming from Qi Yan's courtyard, Su's face did not show it, but he couldn't help sighing a few times in his heart.It was destiny to lose a great-grandson just like that.

However, for Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao, the Su family did not want to offend.Simply fulfilling the wishes of the two of them, it can be regarded as an explanation to the Chen family.Anyway, Gu Changlin is still young, women and children will be indispensable in the future, Qi Yan and the child in her belly will become less expensive.

The only thing that Su Shi didn't expect was that Gu Changlin, who returned triumphantly, would be so concerned about the death of Qi Yan's mother and son, that he even took her into a grudge.Then, the reputation of the entire Guhou Mansion was ruined, wasting the foundation and origin of the Guhou Mansion for so many years.

If she had known that Gu Changlin would be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, she shouldn't have softened her heart back then, let alone helped him become so powerful.

Su's words fell into Gu Changlin's ears, it was really unpleasant.Gu Changlin really didn't know how to show off his quick-talking temperament, let Su Shi talk about it to himself, but he didn't move at all.

He is not only for Qi Yan and the child in his stomach, but also for Ling'er.His three most important relatives in this world were murdered to death for no apparent reason. Gu Changlin would not let it go, and he would never let things go.

Therefore, his hatred must be borne by someone.Even if Gu Hou Mansion is destroyed, Gu Changlin will not be merciful.

Gu Changlin originally thought that as long as he made military achievements this time, he would be able to protect Ling'er from being wronged and bullied.On the way back to Yancheng, the reunion with Ling'er, Qi Yan and the child was always in his mind.Unexpectedly, the reality would be so cruel, all his thoughts were severely cut off, and he had no more expectations.

The former Gu Changlin, because Gu Fangyao was the fifth prince's concubine, had to avoid him and try not to conflict with him.But now, Gu Changlin didn't care about anything else, he just reported all the crimes committed by Chen Ziyun and others to the Holy Listen, and vowed to seek justice for his dearest and most beloved family members.

Before Gu Changlin and Wei Qingmo came back, Gu Houfu casually and perfunctorily determined the deaths of Qi Yan and Gu Fangling as accidents.They said so, and outsiders believed it.But as soon as Gu Changlin came back, he set off a turbulent wave, which was well known to all.At this point, everyone really began to pay attention to the successive murders in Guhou's mansion.

Gu Fangyao didn't care at all.With her friendship with Wei Qingmo, how can she be afraid of a mere Gu Changlin?In Wei Qingmo's heart, she is the greatest life-saving benefactor, a kindness that needs to be repaid thousands of times.

However, Gu Fangyao's complacency did not last for half a day, and was shattered by the sudden imperial decree.Wei Qingmo personally ordered that the fifth prince and concubine must fully cooperate with the investigation, and no evasion or resistance is allowed.Otherwise, it must be dealt with strictly.

punish severely?What are you kidding?Wei Qingmo actually wants to punish her severely?Just because of Gu Fangling's death?No, there is also Qi Yan mixed in.

I heard that Qi Yan is a doctor with excellent medical skills?But so what?Qi Yan is Gu Changlin's wife, but not Wei Qingmo's sweetheart.How could Wei Qingmo treat a benefactor like this for a random strange woman?

There must be something hidden in this.Thinking of this, Gu Fangyao's first reaction was to meet the Holy Majesty.She wanted to ask Wei Qingmo face to face to see what happened.

Unfortunately, Gu Fangyao never saw Wei Qingmo again.Even she couldn't figure out what happened to her.Why did Wei Qingmo ignore her after just going to fight?

It was also at this time that Gu Fangyao gradually felt a sense of crisis, and thought of Gu Changlin who was on the expedition with Wei Qingmo.

However, it doesn't make sense!Gu Changlin had never been to Yecheng back then, so it was impossible to know about the entanglement between Gu Fangling and Wei Qingmo, and it was even more impossible to know what she did in it.

If not, how could she have let Gu Changlin accompany him on the expedition?God knows what she was thinking at the time was that it was best for Gu Changlin not to come back, and she was waiting to hear the sad news that Gu Changlin died on the battlefield.At that time, she will definitely applaud and take her mother back to Chen's house to celebrate together.

However, what Gu Fangyao didn't know was that Gu Changlin had never really cared about her matters, nor was he interested in her relationship with Wei Qingmo.But Gu Changlin cared about Gu Fangling far more than she imagined.As long as the topic involves Gu Fangling, who can guarantee that there will be no flaws?
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Gu Fangyao has woven a dense net for several years, but in the end, a long and wide opening was cut, and she could no longer hold her glory and wealth.

With Wei Qingmo's hint, many little-known things were quickly revealed.Among them is the fact that Mrs. Gu Houfu secretly sent someone to assassinate Gu Fangling in the 25th year of Xuanyuan, and the fifth concubine actually helped her mother and uncle's family murder Mrs. Xiaohou and Gu Fangling. Horrible mysteries.

It turns out that Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao deliberately spread Gu Fangling's notoriety back then!It turned out that Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao were responsible for Gu Fangling's resignation at the Prime Minister's Mansion!It turns out that Gu Fangling has been treated harshly after marrying Tanhualang, and it was also instructed by Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao?

What's even more frightening is that Gu Changlin went to Chen's house to bring Gu Fangling back. Did he know the truth and even cut off Chen Junbao's chance to have a child?And in order to avenge Gu Changlin, the Chen family deliberately took advantage of Gu Changlin's battle to poison Qi Yan's mother and son, and also got rid of Gu Fangling?
It is said that the Hou Men's deep house is much darker, but such an earth-shaking reversal really surprised everyone.They have all heard the rumors about Gu Fangling, discussed them in person or behind their backs, and even embarrassed Gu Fangling.

Looking back and thinking about their pursuit and praise of Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao on weekdays, many people vomited blood in their hearts, and felt that they were slapped in the face in every possible way.Had they known this was the case, they would not have helped the tyrant to do evil, and would have been invisible accomplices.

Gu Changlin's moves were so quick and accurate that even Gu Fangyao and Chen Ziyun panicked and almost couldn't hold back.Especially Wei Qingmo's sudden change of attitude made Gu Fangyao and Chen Ziyun incapable of turning the situation around.

Once ascended to the sky, once fell into the abyss, Gu Fangyao and Chen Ziyun deeply understood.

In the tenth year of Xuanqing, standing alone in front of Gu Fangling's tombstone, Wei Qingmo's face was condensed and his eyes were like torches.

Only when you really stand at the peak, you will know what it means to be too cold at a high place.Wei Qingmo always remembered his responsibilities clearly, and never shirked them.However, Gu Fangling in front of him has become an indelible trace in the deepest part of his heart.

If it wasn't for admitting the wrong person and repaying the wrong kindness, Gu Fangling would not have passed away early.If he could have recognized her earlier, Gu Fangling would not have suffered so much suffering and sin in vain.At this moment, standing in front of Gu Fangling, Wei Qingmo swears with the promise of the king of a country that if there is an afterlife, he will find her and repay her for saving her life.
