Gu Qiancheng had no time to guess Qin Jiyan's thoughts, nor did he want to guess...
On the way back home, Gu Qiancheng was still thinking about the Goddess Tower case, but there were too few clues and lack of important conditions. Gu Qiancheng really couldn't connect the cases...
"The statue of the goddess, the statue of the goddess, there is definitely something wrong with the statue of the goddess. I don't know how many believers of the goddess there are in the capital. It would be great if I could see the little statues of the goddess in their hands."
Gu Qiancheng tapped the table once and then again, and the frequency was as chaotic as her heartbeat!
The case at the Goddess Tower was so unusual. Gu Qiancheng smelled danger, but didn't want to retreat...
It is a very fulfilling thing to be able to uncover the whole story of a mysterious case with your own hands. Even though he knew there was danger, Gu Qiancheng still wanted to uncover the secret of the Goddess Tower with his own hands...
Gu Qiancheng was thinking about the Goddess Tower case all the way until he arrived at Gu's house and a servant came to invite him: "Miss, the old man has invited you."
Old Master? Why are you looking for her at this time?
"Lead the way." Gu Qiancheng paused, quickly retracted his thoughts, and sorted out his mood to avoid making mistakes.
"Grandpa." Gu Qiancheng walked into the old man's study.
The old man had been waiting for a long time. He stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at the opposite position: "Sit."
"You and His Highness Prince Qin went to the Goddess Tower?" Thanks to Gu Qiancheng, the old man also knew what cases the Six Gates were investigating recently.
"Yes." Gu Qiancheng nodded lightly, thinking that the old man would ask about the case of the Goddess Tower, but he didn't want the old man to directly ask about her injuries.
"Is your injury okay?" the old man asked with concern. Gu Qiancheng was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Nothing is wrong." If the skin is broken a little, just go back and apply some medicine and it will be fine. It will not affect the movement of the fingers.
.
"It's okay." The old man nodded lightly and looked at Gu Qiancheng, hesitating to speak...
Gu Qiancheng frowned and said proactively: "Grandpa, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Concubine Gu and the fifth prince are causing trouble again?
Ahem...
Gu Qiancheng thought too much. The old man came to Gu Qiancheng purely because he was concerned about her... personal issues.
Gu Qiancheng spoke, and the old man stopped hiding and said directly: "Qiancheng, what are your plans for the future?"
The old man looked at Gu Qiancheng, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became: His granddaughter must be handsome and dignified. If it hadn't been for what happened to Prince Chu, who wouldn't be worthy of his granddaughter?
I thought I would never find a good family in Qiancheng, but I didn’t expect...
Now it's spring again.
The old man became more and more satisfied as he watched, but Gu Qiancheng felt frightened by the old man's observation. He asked rather cautiously: "In the future? Plans? Grandpa, what do you mean by this?"
Can you just say it if you have something to say? She used her brain too much today and is a bit dull.
"Ahem..." This was the first time for the old man to talk about this kind of thing with his granddaughter. He coughed uncomfortably and said: "Qiancheng, you are not young anymore. There was nothing you could do before. The situation is different now. You
You have to be a little more cautious and pay attention to the impact. It's best not to go out during this period, right?"
The old man asked the last sentence a little cautiously. After all, he had agreed to Qian Cheng and Qin Jiyan's going out. Now that the situation has improved, he regretted it. He is really a villain.
"Grandpa, you are worrying too much." Thinking of Qin Jiyan's words today, Gu Qiancheng had already guessed what the old man meant.
The old man just wanted to take advantage of her good reputation to choose a good family to marry her to.
However, this matter is not what the old man wants to do...
Gu Qiancheng lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Grandpa, everyone in the capital knows about my marriage to Prince Chu. No one in the capital would risk offending Prince Zhao's palace by proposing to marry me."
This is a fact. The old lady would not have thought about it before, but now that there is a good candidate, the old lady has to be tempted...
The old man continued: "Qiancheng, we can't reach the Feng family. Prince Pingxi is also a military commander, and Prince Pingxi only has an only son. This is really a good candidate."
The old man is not blind. What is Princess Pingxi's plan? He couldn't guess it before, and he can't guess it now?
The old man was afraid that Gu Qiancheng would not be happy, so he thought for a while and added: "Qiancheng, my grandfather is thinking about you. A woman will eventually get married in this life."
The old man admitted that he had selfish motives in this matter, but this matter only benefited Qiancheng and had no harm.
"Grandpa, I know you do it for my own good, but this is really not okay." Gu Qiancheng refused without thinking.
"Grandpa, based on my current reputation, whoever I marry will be a high-ranking person. I will have no status at all in my husband's family in the future." A blind marriage means that the couple has no feelings at all and relies on their respective status...
It's okay to be well-matched, but the disparity between the husband and wife is too big. The one with the lower family sibling is destined to have to compromise. Gu Qiancheng doesn't want to live that kind of life...
She didn't care about the momentary grievance, but she had to compromise for the rest of her life, which she really couldn't accept.
"Qiancheng, His Majesty has decreed that no one will say anything bad about you." The old man didn't want Gu Qiancheng to belittle himself. Except for what happened at the wedding, Gu Qiancheng didn't do anything bad at all.
Of course, this was only what they said in the Gu family.
Gu Qiancheng was a little irritable. He suppressed his helplessness and said in a good-tempered manner: "Grandpa, I know you do it for my own good, but I don't want to get married yet."
Gu Qiancheng couldn't say that she had never met Yan Qing and had no feelings for Yan Qing. Marriage in this era did not require feelings.
"Don't want to marry now? When do you want to get married?" The old man was also a little angry at this time.
He had always thought that Qiancheng was the most sober and savvy member of the Gu family, and the one who knew best what was best for him, but what about now?
"Qiancheng, don't be too willful. You should understand that if you miss the Prince of Pingxi County, it will be almost impossible for you to find a better family." The old man said seriously, his cloudy eyes sparkling...
The marriage at the Hepingxi County Prince's Mansion will be of great benefit to the Gu family. It can even help the Gu family escape from the whirlpool of competition for the heirloom.
If it was before, the old man wouldn't care about this, but now?
The second generation of the Gu family is all gone. Duke Gu is useless, the second master is incompetent, and the third master is talented, but he is rejected by the old emperor. The Gu family can only rely on the third generation.
The third generation is still too young, so the old man doesn’t want to bet on anyone now, but...
Things cannot all revolve around the will of the old man. The Gu family has already entered the water and trying to get out is simply a joke...
After secretly sizing up the old man, Gu Qiancheng knew that if he continued to refuse, he would only make the old man angry, so he had to say to the old man: "Grandpa, it's too early for us to talk about this now. The Prince of Pingxi County has not made a clear statement on the matter.
Before it becomes clear, please grandpa think about it carefully, and of course I will think about it carefully too."
After Gu Qiancheng said this, without waiting for the old man's further persuasion, he stood up and left on the grounds that he was tired from running around for a day...
She really didn't like it when the old man interfered with her marriage. She could tell Princess Zhao that the emperor allowed her to have her own marriage, but it would be of no use to the old man...
The old man wanted to stay, but when he saw that Gu Qiancheng's face was really not very good, he could only sigh: "Qiancheng, think about this carefully, grandpa will not harm you."
She is going to get married after all. Doesn’t the old man think that Gu Qiancheng can find a better family than Pingxi County Prince’s Mansion?
