Chapter 84: The Gu Family
This question made Gu Mianzhi silent for a while.
In the imperial court, things were calm on the surface, but in reality there were undercurrents and endless fighting.
Now in the court, there is a faction that supports the emperor, and there are also many people from the prime minister's faction.
He doesn't belong to any camp yet, nor is he a high-ranking official. To put it bluntly, in these two camps, he is more and less, and less than him is more.
But he still prefers the emperor, but it's not so obvious.
Enemy? Gu Mianzhi thinks it is unlikely.
His Gu family had also been promoted from local officials in recent years, and then came to the capital and became Minister of the Ministry of War. It had only been less than ten years since he came to the capital.
He asked himself that he usually restrained his sharp edge in his dealings with others, would not show off his prowess in anything, and had no enemies.
Gu Mianzhi looked at the secret agent, his face covered with white gauze, only his eyebrows and eyes were exposed, his eyes were calm and unruffled.
He sighed and said, "I care about my family and never have any grudges with others, so naturally I don't have any enemies."
"What about Mr. Gu?"
"That's even more impossible!" Everyone in Luo City doesn't know that his Tingxuan is a talented person, and he is a well-known good boy in Luo City. That is to say, his official rank is not high, and this threshold must be met by that person.
The matchmaker was trampled to death.
Seeing the old Gu's vow, she suddenly felt that Gu Lingxi's death was not worth it.
That yard reminded her of some memories that did not belong to her, but belonged to the original Gu Lingxi. Among those memories was that the original owner was abandoned by her own father and allowed to be bullied.
Seeing the person in front of her protecting her son, Gu Lingxi said coldly: "Do you still remember how your eldest daughter died?"
Gu Mianzhi raised his eyes and stared at her, and said in a deep voice: "This has nothing to do with the case, so I have no comment."
"Ha~" Gu Lingxi chuckled, causing Gu Mianzhi to frown. "It's best to have nothing to do with it, but my daughter's death is unclear and she doesn't even investigate. Don't wait until there's a fire in the backyard.
It would be too late then.”
There was obviously something in his words. Just when Gu Mianzhi was about to have a fit, Gu Lingxi stood up and left.
Gu Mianzhi was left sitting there in a daze...
It's so funny, she actually hoped deep down in her heart that this father would remember him, or that mentioning the dead Gu Lingxi would be a little sad, but now it seems that this is all her delusion.
There is no memory of why she committed suicide, but based on her previous experiences, her final suicide by throwing herself into the lake was definitely not a simple accident.
As soon as Gu Lingxi left the door of Gu Mansion, a carriage stopped at the door behind her.
Just listen to the guard salute, "Mrs. Gu! Second Miss!"
She turned around in a flash and saw a lady and a woman helping each other up the stairs. The golden hairpins on their heads were very eye-catching.
So Gu Lingxi has been bullied by these two people for so long?
In my impression, just after the eldest lady died, Gu Mianzhi married a second lady.
It was also from that time that the relationship between her and her father became worse and worse. Gu Lingxi did not remember the appearance, she only knew that she had such a vicious stepmother! She felt so aggrieved and secretly swore that she would help that Gu Lingxi one day.
Get your place back!
Today, she only saw their backs. She suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around to leave.
Today's trip is not without harvest. The next thing is to invite Mr. Li Shengli to appear.
She went back to the government office again, hoping that Li Sheng could take her for a walk around the Ding'an Hou Mansion.
Li Sheng expressed his embarrassment. Now the Ding'an Marquis Mansion is suppressing the fact that the second lady is dead! It is not known whether the funeral arrangements have been taken care of, so it is not appropriate to visit at this time!
Gu Lingxi thought about it and realized that the Marquis could execute them in minutes. It was indeed dangerous, so she decided not to go there yet.
In this way, Gu Lingxi had no choice but to ask Li Sheng for advice and asked some questions about the court and civil and military officials.
She always felt that this man poisoned and killed someone on the wedding day just to prevent the marriage between the Ding'an Marquis Mansion and the Gu Mansion.
But what's the benefit of stopping it in a big way? She needs to know who is the beneficiary behind this happening!
After listening to what Li Sheng said, she felt that the most likely person was someone from the Prime Minister's group.
This marriage is a gift from the Emperor! If it is screwed up, the Gu family will not be able to enter the Emperor's camp, and they will still have a chance to win over...
When Gu Lingxi thought of this, her mind suddenly got stuck. She couldn't figure it out. Is there anything to fight for in a Gu family like that?
Is it because the emperor wants to destroy it?
The red panda had already fallen asleep in her arms. Gu Lingxi was also a little hungry, so she left the government office.
As soon as she got on the street, Gu Lingxi noticed that the red panda was awake and moving around in her arms.
"Don't move!" she whispered, and the red panda stopped when she heard the sound.
