Gu Qingyuan originally thought that people like her could face any disaster.
After all, her life for more than ten years was really not a good one.
I have seen so many joys and sorrows.
But that’s not the case. Other people’s affairs are other people’s affairs. You can never empathize with other people’s grief.
Only when this happens to you can you really feel the pain.
Her heart quickly cooled down. People always need to think about things while they are alive.
She thought she always needed an honest reason to live.
If Mrs. Ruan is really not her mother, if the Zhenguo Palace is really not her home.
If her life is not her life.
Then she is always qualified to know the truth.
Gu Qingyuan didn't hide anything and asked Ruan openly.
Listen to Ruan's explanation of why she wanted to buy an orphaned baby.
That year, Duke Zhen Guo and Mrs. Qin had been married for many years but had not yet given birth to a child. After she gave birth to her eldest son, she became pregnant with twins.
At that time, the old lady of the Gu family was still alive. She wanted to take a concubine for the Duke of Zhen, but she was rejected. It was really hard.
Duke Zhen simply said that regardless of whether Ruan was pregnant with a boy or a girl, the baby would be adopted by the eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, the old lady took it seriously. Ruan agreed at the time.
Who would have thought that during the birth, Mrs. Ruan only heard a cry, and the newborn child died as soon as it was born.
Looking at another baby girl who was born with difficulty, Mrs. Ruan was worried that the old lady would really adopt the baby, and her heart felt like a knife.
Just two days ago, my companion picked up a baby girl in the backyard of Zhenguogong Mansion.
So Ruan asked her companion to bring the baby girl, and when the old lady said she wanted to adopt her, she threw her away.
Ruan's calculation was very good. Her biological daughter did not have to leave her, and the one she picked up could help her grab the big house's property.
Originally, Mrs. Ruan planned to hide it for the rest of her life, but the older Gu Qingyuan got, the less likely she was to get close to her.
At this time, something happened to the Duke of Zhen on the front line.
The secret was known to Gu Yunniang again.
After Ruan finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at everyone's expressions.
Gu Yunniang was excited, as long as she exposed Gu Qingyuan's life experience.
She would no longer be able to be the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
She not only made it impossible for Gu Qingyuan to return to the Gu family, but also prevented her from being with Lu Wenze.
Even in the Pei family, she, Gu Qingyuan, doesn't want to stay.
Since he is of low blood and a bastard of unknown origin, he should live a low life.
This thing is bad for almost everyone, but it is a good thing for her.
Without Gu Qingyuan, she would be the only girl in the Zhenguo Palace.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunniang even felt a little sympathy for Gu Qingyuan.
I don't know how she can bear the sudden decline from the eldest daughter to a bastard.
"Gu Qingyuan." Gu Yunniang said softly, "You must remember that this is the last day you will be called Gu Qingyuan."
"No more."
How could a bastard of unknown origin deserve the surname Gu?
"Thank you Miss Gu Er." Gu Qingyuan smiled lightly at her.
She didn't look at the way everyone looked at her, she just said,
"For so many years, you only thought that you were Gu Yunniang's mother."
"Now it seems to make sense."
Gu Qingyuan straightened her back, raised her head, and looked at Lu Wenze with a sneer.
"In the past eighteen years, I have enjoyed the blessings I deserve, and I have no objection to returning to my roots.
At that time, did you think that if you promoted all this, you would be able to achieve what you wanted?"
She didn't need any more blood tests to find out the truth.
Lu Wenze dared to bring Ruan and her daughter to the door, but he must beat her back to her original form.
"I just did what I had to do." Lu Wenze lowered his eyes.
But when Shuangzhi left the front hall, she knew the situation was critical and ran towards the study room in the outer courtyard.
It just so happened that He Zheng was not with Pei Jinting today.
For the sake of my brother He Fang.
Because he tried to hide the fact that Gu Qingyuan went to the study and revealed the news to Chen Zhao.
He Fang was completely kicked out of the team protecting Pei Jinting.
I went to the outer courtyard and became an ordinary boy.
This is all for the sake of He Zheng's loyalty.
Seeing Shuangzhi, he hurried over in a hurry. Then he heard that Lu Wenze and the government officials came to arrest Gu Qingyuan.
He Zheng was stunned and stood up suddenly, his steps were fast and urgent, he was running out of the house.
Pei Jinting went on patrol outside the city today. It's a long way to get there.
He pays attention to efficiency in doing things, and he knows that no one knows in which direction things will develop once he comes back again and again.
The horses in the stable were riding one and leading the other. They told the people around them, "Watch the front hall. No matter what happens, watch carefully."
"Especially the young lady, you must know where you are going."
Since Lu Wenze brought the officials to the door, it would not be a good thing.
Before Shuangzhi came, He Fang was trained like a dog by his brother He Zheng and could not turn over even if he wanted to.
By coincidence, news of Gu Qingyuan's accident came.
He Fang rolled his eyebrows and watched He Zheng's figure disappear outside the door.
After a while, He Fang grabbed the message left by He Zheng, quietly went to the study, and walked to the backyard.
Gu Qingyuan was taken to the government office, and officials from Jingzhao Mansion surrounded her for interrogation all afternoon.
No matter how you ask, force or threaten.
Gu Qingyuan refused to admit that she had known about her life experience for a long time.
She was sent to a cell and guarded.
Sitting in the corner of the prison, Gu Qingyuan kept thinking about the scenes in the lobby of the Pei family.
The eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gray, dull and numb.
Looking at the faces that were wearing masks, calculating, and provocative, she instinctively felt ironic.
Finally, Mrs. Cheng'en threw her a piece of tissue paper, which landed lightly at her feet.
"I used to think that you were a girl from the Zhenguo Palace. Jing Heng did something scandalous. Because of your identity, we just pinched our noses and recognized you."
"But now, you are just a bought orphan girl. You will definitely not be able to occupy the position of the third young lady of the Pei family."
"Take it. When Jingheng comes back, I will explain it clearly to him."
Gu Qingyuan bent down and picked up the piece of paper. It was a letter of divorce written by Mrs. Chengen.
This letter of divorce means that from now on, she has no relationship with Pei Jinting.
She lowered her head slightly and unfolded the ball of paper she had been holding in her hand.
That big divorce letter had two words.
She smiled and her eyelashes became wet.
It's good that the reason for making the alliance with Pei Jinting was to resist the Gu family and to embarrass Lu Wenze.
Now, her status can be achieved without this covenant.
He Zheng rode his horse and ran forward quickly. Finally, he arrived at the military camp, but he had not yet dismounted from his horse.
He couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the governor?"
Originally, it was not Pei Jinting's turn to patrol the military camp. After the morning court today, the emperor suddenly called on Pei Jinting and asked him to visit the army after the morning court.
The two soldiers guarding the camp looked at each other, and one of them replied,
"The Governor is not in the camp and has gone to another place for inspection..."
He Zheng shouted sharply, "How long ago."
The soldier said, "About two sticks of incense ago."
He Zheng threw down the tired horse, held the reins and rushed to the next place.
I hope the young master can go back in time to save the young lady.
