It's just that in this mansion, Gu Chengqian's words are always useful.

Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't keep it any longer, she just squeezed Jinpa and wiped the tears on her face, and then she put the medicine bowl aside: "This medicine has just been boiled, and it is no longer hot, Master remember to drink it, I Retire first."

When Lu Jinxi was led in by the servants of the Grand Master's mansion, Tang Shi just went out, and just met him. It's just that Tang Shi didn't say much, just smiled reluctantly, and after a few words of greetings, let her into the room.

The strong medicinal odor came to me immediately.

When Lu Jinxi heard it, she suddenly remembered that when she first arrived in Lu's body, it was also such a strong smell of medicine, and she felt bitterness in her mouth and heart when she smelled it.

This is the first time she has really come to meet the legendary Zaifu who is powerful and powerful, the first rank of Daxia civil servant, and the grand teacher Gu Chengqian.

Although she was mentally prepared, she was still surprised when she saw what the other party looked like at the moment.

The Grand Master Gu, who was seen at the birthday banquet that day, was not very healthy, but his complexion was still good. In front of the many guests, he talked and laughed freely, no matter how he looked at it, he was the real Grand Master of the dynasty.

But only for a few days?

The man was leaning on the couch, lost his energy, and looked frighteningly old. Only those eyes that seem to have seen through the world can still see a bit of a sense of arrogance.

"Jin Xi, the younger generation, meet the Grand Master."

Knowing that the original father, Lu Jiuling, was on good terms with Taishi Gu, Lu Jinxi humbly called "Junior" and bowed down.

Because the weather was not bad today, she wore a light lake blue spring shirt, and the snow-colored pleated skirt spread out gracefully. She only had a thin makeup on her face, and she looked very pure and elegant.

Gu Chengqian raised his head and looked at her, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Standing in front of him is Lu Jiuling's precious daughter Lu Jinxi, the second grandmother of Lu Er who is now in charge of the General's Mansion, and Xue Kuang, who used to gallop on the battlefield...

Widow.

Many years ago, he hugged this little girl, grew up and got married in the blink of an eye, but the years didn't seem to leave too many traces on her.

So, Gu Chengqian remembered in a trance—

Yeah, how old is she now?

The full count is only twenty-seven, but he is already a widow.

At this moment, he could not help but feel sad.

Six years ago, when Xue Kuang died on the battlefield, he was only twenty-seven! It was the time when he was in high spirits.

But what about now?

The iron-blooded loyal soul died in a foreign country, with no bones left!

The hand on the quilt was suddenly clenched tightly, but it was still shaking.

Gu Chengqian gritted his teeth so that he could control the grief that came out of his heart. Just looking at Lu Jinxi like this, he seemed to see Xue Kuang in the past.

He has a cold and solemn face every day, and rules the army strictly, but when he walks with the brothers in the army, he is rarely happy.

Calm and self-sufficient.

Only when the uniform is covered and the sword is in hand can one glimpse the heroic spirit...

"You get up..."

Gu Chengqian blinked, the phantom in front of him disappeared, and his voice was slow and sluggish, as if he had lost his strength.

Lu Jinxi was only going to visit the Tang family, but did not expect to be met by the old lady. She is someone who has seen the big scene, so she is not afraid, but she doesn't understand the purpose of Gu Chengqian calling her to see her.

Somehow, all she remembered was Gu Juefei's old nonsense "marry you" and so on.

For a while, he felt a cold sweat in his heart.

Hearing Gu Chengqian calling her to get up, she respectfully thanked her, then got up, folded her hands in front of her, and stood dignifiedly.

Gu Chengqian looked at her like this for a long time, until Lu Jinxi thought he was actually going to fall asleep before he spoke.

"Brother Lu has raised a good daughter. Your father and I are old friends. You should call me 'Shibo'. In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed..."

eleven years?

Isn't that the time when the Lu family was ordered to marry Xue Kuang?

Listening to Gu Chengqian's words, Lu Jinxi always felt that something was wrong with this old lady, but because she knew so little about the past, she couldn't guess.

She remained silent.

Gu Chengqian didn't notice this either, he just turned his eyes, looked at a certain point in the void, and said slowly: "My eldest son, who has been away from home and went up the mountain for six years, really doesn't sound like a good word. Listen. Said that yesterday he was in the Yuewei Museum and accepted that child from your family as a student..."

Inexplicably, Lu Jinxi's heart froze.

There should have been some feud between Gu Taishi and Gu Juefei, but after Gu Juefei returned from the Taishi birthday banquet, everyone in Beijing felt that this old account was over.

But she remembered Gu Juefei who appeared in the alley when the birthday banquet was over.

He was covered in embarrassment, and there were some scars on his neck.

That appearance, it was obvious that someone had smashed the medicine bowl.

In this huge Grand Master's mansion, who would dare to treat Gu Juefei, the eldest son of Gu, in such a desperate way? The answer actually doesn't need to be thought about at all.

I just don't know what Gu Taishi means when he mentions it now.

She had a sudden change in her heartbeat, but there was already a little smile on her face, just like the most common kind mother and junior in the world, she only said: "Hui Shibo, this is indeed the case. Brother Chi is five years old this year, and his temper is also naughty. Being able to get the eldest son's blue eyes, I am afraid that the eldest son is looking at the general in the face of the spirit of the sky. Jin Xi is grateful..."

"..."

In the face of Xue Kuang in the spirit of heaven?

Gu Chengqian couldn't really tell what it was like in his heart. In his mind, only the confrontation with Gu Juefei in the ancestral hall last night kept flashing back and forth.

"In your heart, I am so sinful, so unbearable. Even accepting a student has become a full of conspiracy! Father, why don't you think that it is I who sees his talent, intelligence, sincerity, and wants to give it all Of?"

"……You do not deserve!"

"It's not worthy...it's not worthy anymore, then if I tell Master Taishi you-I still want to marry Lu Jinxi?"

Gu Juefei's words soaked in hostility, chill and malice appeared beside his ears like thunder, and he suddenly couldn't restrain himself, and his lips trembled.

Lu Jinxi...

That renegade son actually told him that he was going to marry Lu Jinxi!

It's not enough to kill Xue Kuang, now he has accepted Xue Kuang's only son as a student, and he wants to marry Xue Kuang's widow!

He wanted Xue Kuang to have no peace in the spirit of the sky, and wanted him to die without resting his eyes!

The evil in this world has been occupied by Gu Juefei alone.

Gu Chengqian has never regretted it so much. Maybe he shouldn't have gone up the mountain. Six years ago, since Gu Juefei left the house, he should have never had a son like him.

Perhaps, there would be no such thing as today.

Looking at Lu Jinxi standing in front of him, Gu Chengqian only felt that he had a pair of eyes, looking at him through her, making him want to tell the truth about everything at this moment.

But such a big conspiracy at the beginning, involving the internal and foreign affairs, was secretly promoted by the eldest son of his Gu family, and supported by the 95-year-old on the dragon chair today!

How could he say it, how dare he say it?

After all, this is the guilt committed by Gu Juefei, and it is also the guilt that Gu's family will eventually bear, just like the ones he committed thirteen years ago when the palace changed...

In my heart, a storm surged.

But in the end, it finally slowly returned to a deep silence.

After a long time, Gu Chengqian asked a very abrupt question: "What do you think, let's go first?"

Lu Jinxi was stunned.
