The Gu family is only so big, and Gu Qiancheng's eyes and ears are everywhere. It couldn't be easier for Gu Qiancheng to find out who said those right and wrong things in front of Chengyi.
On the evening of the next day, the secret guard put the found information in front of Gu Qiancheng, "Girl, Mrs. Gu often went out privately in the past few days and had contact with a gangster from Linghua Street several times. We went to see him last night.
That gangster died at home. Mr. Gu Erye and his wife have not been out during this period, so they must have been taken advantage of."
"You will be punished if you do it." Gu Qiancheng did not read the news of the secret guard's investigation, and threw it to the secret guard intact, "Leave it to the old man." To deal with Mrs. Gu, she didn't need to take action at all.
"In addition, find out who ordered the people who came into contact with her?" The capital is really chaotic. Under Qin Jiyan's layer of defense, people actually sneaked into the capital to cause chaos. This shows the ability of those people.
big.
"Yes." The secret guard lowered his head and responded. Seeing that Gu Qiancheng had no other orders, he retreated. He turned around and sent the found information to Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu has been frightened these days. He is worried that the Immortality Sect will come to the Gu family, and he is also worried that the emperor will suspect that someone in the Gu family has contact with the Immortality Sect.
Well, even Mrs. Gu himself is suspicious, otherwise how can we explain who cast the loyalty poison on everyone in the Gu family?
This must be an internal conspiracy involving an outsider! Someone in the Gu family must have been in contact with the Immortality Sect. So Mr. Gu was afraid that the emperor would investigate. If the Gu family was really found to be related to the Immortality Sect, the entire Gu family would be in misery.
At this time, the secret guard presented the news about Mrs. Gu's contact with suspicious persons. Old Mrs. Gu was almost frightened. When he saw the message written by the secret guard, Old Mrs. Gu almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
No matter how you look after Mrs. Gu, you are extremely suspicious.
"I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Mr. Gu has never been a soft-hearted person. No matter who Mrs. Gu went out secretly before and who she came into contact with, Mrs. Gu can no longer stay.
Such a woman is a disaster.
When the secret guard got the answer he wanted, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Mr. Gu didn't dare to delay for even a moment. As soon as the secret guard left, he invited Gu Chengzhi over. "See for yourself, what a good thing your mother has done."
"Pa..." The not-so-thick booklet hit Gu Chengzhi directly in the face. Gu Chengzhi remained motionless and let the book hit him. Then he squatted down, picked it up, and opened the booklet.
"No, it's impossible. Grandpa, my mother would never do this, no way!" Gu Chengzhi's face changed drastically when he saw what was written above, and he shook his head in disbelief.
After the panic, Gu Chengzhi quickly calmed down and explained eagerly: "I am still in the Gu family, and I have also been infected by the loyalty poison. How could it be my mother? How could she...how could she do such a thing? And she also
She can't do it, she doesn't care about the house now, and she doesn't have access to our food, so there is no way she can poison us."
"So what if she didn't do it? She went out quietly at this time and came into contact with unknown people. What do you think she was going to do? Simply talk to that gangster? And that gangster said a few words to your mother.
He died at home in two days?" Mr. Gu also didn't believe that Mrs. Gu could poison all of them, but Mrs. Gu was indeed very suspicious and had bad intentions. Such a person... cannot be allowed to stay.
"Grandpa, my mother has no intention of harming the Gu family. Please find out clearly." Gu Chengzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently.
He only has his mother as a relative left, and for this relative, he is willing to do anything.
"Chengzhi, can you guarantee that your mother doesn't have any bad intentions? If it were in the past, I could still tolerate her. No woman can cause any trouble, but now my grandfather really doesn't dare to take it lightly. You can't take the situation of the Gu family either.
You see, if I leave your mother alone, your mother... I'm afraid she will make a bigger mistake." The Gu family is now being watched by all parties, and the Immortality Sect is biting them. If the Gu family does it themselves
Without unity, something will happen.
"Grandfather..." Gu Chengzhi's throat felt sweet and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
He knew his grandfather too well. His grandfather wanted to give up on his mother. His mother had already been given up by the Zheng family. If the Gu family drove her away again, she would really have no way to survive.
"Alas...I'll give you two choices. One is to let her die of illness, the other is for you to take her to your hometown in Lingjiang and guard your father's grave." The Gu family did not live in the capital from the beginning. The Gu family's ancestral land
In a remote town in Lingjiang, the Gu family has lived in the capital for several generations. They have long taken root in the capital and have long since stopped returning to their ancestral homeland.
"Grandfather, you...are you going to give up on me?" The Gu family has never been back to their hometown in Lingjiang for several generations. They say that there is not even a piece of land in their hometown, and they will never think of coming back again.
"Grandpa gave you a choice." Mr. Gu closed his eyes and did not look at Gu Chengzhi.
He once had high hopes for this grandson and thought about leaving the Gu family in his hands, but now?
He has great ambitions but little talent, he is too ambitious, he is greedy and he lacks the talents and backing to match them.
Among the entire third generation of the Gu family, he is probably the most unpromising one. His literary skills are not as good as Chengyi's, his martial arts skills are not as good as Chengzhi's, and even Gu Qiancheng's happiness cannot be compared to that of the newly born Chengchen.
It would be better to leave the Gu family to any one of the three children than to leave it to Cheng Zhi.
"Grandpa, did you give me a choice?" Gu Chengzhi burst into tears.
Does the so-called choice mean to let him watch his mother die?
If he really chooses this option, I am afraid that his grandfather will not hand over the Gu family to him. The reason is simple: a person who can watch his mother die, will he care about his family brothers? And a person who does not care about his family brothers,
Can you take on the important responsibility of being the head of the family?
It was said that he was given a choice, but no matter which choice he made, there was only one path he could take in the end.
"Chengzhi, my grandfather once gave you a chance." Mr. Gu looked at Gu Chengzhi and felt unbearable, but when he thought about the Gu family, he had to harden his heart.
The Gu family is in turmoil. If he doesn't make a decision, he will harm the rest of the Gu family.
The Gu family also has Cheng Huan, who is favored by Shang Feng in the northwest battlefield, and Cheng Zhi, who has made friends with the young master of the Feng family. He cannot let Cheng Zhi destroy these two people.
"My grandson understands." Gu Chengzhi endured his grief and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu.
The old man had made a decision, and he had nothing to say. Instead of trying to beg the old man to change his mind, it was better to take advantage of this opportunity and give him more benefits when the old man felt guilty about him.
Gu Chengzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at the old man, and said, "Grandpa, my mother and I still have the Loyalty Gu. What if we go to the old house and are targeted by someone from the Immortality Sect?"
Without the protection of the Gu family and the protection of Gu Qiancheng, if the Immortal Sect came to their door, mother and son simply couldn't refuse, right?
