The person in front of me has long been wasted by time and has lost his former charm.

But his eyes were still as kind as ever, especially when he was looking at her.

Gu Ming had a lot of things he wanted to ask Qing Shu.

Qing Shu noticed that Gu Ming was hesitant to speak, and hurriedly sat down next to him.

"Zhanyan, go and guard outside."

Zhan Yan knew that Qing Shu and the other two must have a lot to say, so he bowed and left.

"Now, Uncle Gu can ask with peace of mind. Zhan Yan is a trustworthy person."

Gu Ming looked at the graceful girl in front of him, tears already filling his eyes.

“Miss, you have suffered all these years.”

Gu Ming uttered this sentence tremblingly.

"No, Uncle Gu is the one who is suffering."

Qing Shu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Time had already left indelible marks on him.

"Miss, you haven't told me what happened to your face yet."

"Actually, it wasn't me who died at that time."

"It's not you, it's..."

"It's Qingniang's child."

Qing Shu vaguely remembered that it was a purgatory.

Late that night, she had just fallen asleep after being coaxed by her nanny.

But she never imagined that her life would change drastically after she woke up.

"Miss, Miss, wake up."

Qing Shu was woken up by his wet nurse.

She opened her sleepy eyes and spoke in a baby voice.

"What's wrong, Nanny?"

"Miss, put on this dress quickly."

Qingniang helped her get dressed while carefully watching what was happening outside.

"What's wrong, Qingniang?"

"Shh." Qing Niang covered Qing Shu's mouth and signaled her not to speak.

After she put on her clothes, Qingniang picked her up and went outside.

Qingniang hid herself in the study, told her not to make any noise, and then walked out.

Just when Qing Shu was about to shout out in fear, Qing Niang came back.

She was holding Xiaoyue in her arms, and her mother was following behind her.

As soon as the mother came in, she grabbed Qingniang's hand.. 0

"Qingniang, I'll leave Zhiqi to you."

Her mother looked at Qing Shu deeply.

At that time, Qing Shu didn't understand the emotions contained in that complex look.

All she heard was Qingniang crying and begging her mother not to go.

"Ma'am, you can't go."

"Qing Niang, you know I am worried about Gu Lang."

"What about the lady?"

"Miss, I'll leave it to you."

Her mother squatted beside her and gently kissed her forehead.

"Azhi, you must listen to Qingniang. As long as our Azhi behaves well, mother will buy you a dough figurine."

At that time, she could not understand that light kiss, nor could she understand the tears in Qingniang's eyes.

She just knew that as long as she behaved well she would have noodles to eat, so she nodded vigorously.

"Azhi, you're so good." Her mother touched her head and walked out.

So Qingniang took the two of them out of the secret passage.

They walked through the secret passage to the suburbs, and when they came back, the Gu Mansion was already engulfed in flames.

She looked in the direction of Gu Mansion and asked Qingniang, but Qingniang did not answer her, but just shed tears silently.

From that moment on, she understood, she understood everything.

I was already grinning from ear to ear.

Chapter 421: The Destruction of Gu Mansion

Looking at the flames in the direction of the Gu Mansion, Gu Zhiqi stood in a daze on the outskirts of the city.

Qingniang went over and called her, but she didn't say anything.

She understood that light kiss and that reluctant look.

But she was powerless to do anything about it.

She couldn't understand why the little girl was in her father's arms and was asking for the noodle figurine just a moment ago.

How did I become an orphan in the blink of an eye?

"Qing Niang, father and mother are still in there."

At that moment, she didn't know where she got the strength from, and she broke free from Qingniang's arms.

"I want to go back to find my father and mother."

Qingniang looked at her and quickly chased after her and hugged her.

"Miss, you can't go back."

"No, my mother and father are still here. I have to go save them."

Gu Zhiqi hit and kicked in Qingniang's arms, but Qingniang refused to let her go.

She opened her mouth and bit Qingniang's wrist. Knowing the taste of blood in her mouth, Qingniang did not let go.

Gradually she became motionless. Qingniang looked down at her and found that she had fainted from crying.

"What's wrong with my sister? Mother."

"Sister is tired and fell asleep."

Qingniang carried Xiaoyue on her back and held her in her arms as they walked into the woods.

In this way, they hunted when they were hungry and drank from the stream when they were thirsty.

When I was tired, I slept under a big tree and wandered in the woods for three days.

Qingniang thought they were safe, so she led them out of the forest.

But as soon as they got out of the forest, they found that those people had not given up chasing them.

"Master, why did you send us here to hunt them down?"

"Wildfires cannot be extinguished, spring breezes will bring new life. Do you understand? The master has her own plans. You should get to work quickly."

When Qingniang heard their conversation, she immediately told them to hide and not come out.

Unexpectedly, the two men seemed to know that they were hiding here and walked straight towards them.

Looking at the two people getting closer, Qingniang ordered her and Xiaoyue to change their clothes.

Looking at Xiaoyue putting on her clothes, she understood what Qingniang was going to do.

"Qingniang and Xiaoyue must come back safely.

Zhiqi is waiting for you here."

Qingniang reached out and hugged her, then stood up and ran out with Xiaoyue in her arms.

She still remembers Xiaoyue's excited look at that time.

Sure enough, the two men were fooled. They chased Qing Niang, and she was waiting for them here.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Knowing that Gu Zhiqi had fallen asleep, Qingniang still hadn't come back.

She knew at that time that Qingniang and Xiaoyue were probably in danger.

Also, she started walking in the opposite direction.

But she felt that hiding like this was not a solution.

She suddenly thought of the ancient play about the cat replacing the prince that her father was going to give her.

So, she had an idea in her mind that she wanted revenge.

So she found a pointy rock in the woods and scratched her face with it.

It hurt so much. She almost cried at the time, but when she thought about what happened in the past few days, she didn't feel the pain anymore.

Just like that, she scratched her face.

After hearing this, Gu Ming had already burst into tears.

But Qing Shu, who was sitting opposite him, did have a calm expression on his face.

"and after?"

"Later, I dragged my broken body and continued walking.

I thought it would be better to die like this, so that I could be reunited with my father and mother.

Just when I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, Zhu Wushi saved me."

In this way, with the help of Zhu Wushi, she learned a set of skills, changed her identity and survived.

In fact, she had told Zhu Wusi a long time ago that she wanted revenge.

But Zhu Wusi said that she was still young and it was not the time to take revenge.

Chapter 422 Qingshu's Letter

During that time, he gave her fatherly warmth, which made her dependent on him.

The original Qing Shu couldn't tell the difference between the two kinds of feelings.

It wasn't until he sent her to work undercover with Chen Xiaonian that she understood.

To her, Zhu Wusi was like a father, giving her warmth.

"Miss, I'm sorry for you."

Seeing that there was no sign of the conversation ending, Zhan Yan gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

"Master Qing, the food you requested."

"Bring it in." At this time, Gu Ming had already wiped away his tears and returned to his previous expression.

Zhan Yan put down the food in his hand, turned around and walked out.

"Uncle Gu, I guess you haven't had a very satisfactory life in the past eight years."

So while eating, Gu Ming told Qing Shu about his experiences in the past few years.

In the capital, Chen Mansion.

These days, Chen Xiaonian and Li Deyun accompanied Mu Xiaoyan to travel around the capital.

Moreover, the emperor heard that Chen Xiaonian had solved the Qinjilou case.
