Mr. Dong realized something was wrong when he heard that Prince Gu was frightened.
After serving as an official for so many years, he has always been careful and cautious, and nothing happened in Taipu Temple.
Before the peony feast, he carefully inspected the entire palace, and the carriages and horses were also taken care of by special personnel.
Gu Shizi was startled, and he subconsciously thought of his eldest son.
After pushing his subordinates out to deal with the eldest princess, he hurried home.
As expected, the eldest son Dong Changmao disappeared.
He disappeared for a whole night.
He also stayed up all night, knowing that this matter was not a trivial matter. He did not dare to report the case to Jing Zhaoyi, so he searched secretly.
In the early morning, Dong's Mansion delivered a coffin with a totem with an eye of fire attached to it.
After the death of Duke Zhen Guo, the military power of the Gu family army was taken over by the Holy Master and later given to Shao Taiwei by Shao Wuji.
The Gu family has always kept a low profile, and they haven't seen this totem again for many years.
People from the Gu Mansion said: "Master Dong has been properly placed. Master Dong does not need to open the coffin for an autopsy. It is no use disturbing Master Dong's purity."
After the people left, Mr. Dong knelt beside the coffin and cried bitterly.
But I really didn’t dare to open it and take one last look at my eldest son.
Although I still don’t know what happened, it seems that my son has completely touched the bottom line of Gu Shizi this time, and even the totem of the Duke of Guo was brought out to suppress him.
Before he could cry for long, the people around King Xiaoyao knocked on the door of Dong Mansion again.
A taciturn man dropped a broken ring finger.
There is also a sentence that says: "You should have an idea of what you should do and what you shouldn't do."
Due to pressure from both parties, Mr. Dong could only mourn his eldest son secretly.
He had many concubines and concubines, but the eldest son was the only one who excelled in learning. He originally had a great future, but he ended up like this.
There was no time to grieve, so he had to write the beggar's bones and a letter of divorce to his wife before the court meeting today.
Every word on the paper was filled with tears, and Mr. Dong burst into tears.
I didn’t know for a moment whether I was crying because of the sadness of a white-haired person leaving a black-haired person, or the sadness of decades of ruined business.
Mrs. Dong always got up late. When she woke up, she was surprised that her husband was not ready to go to court, and a divorce note was placed in front of her.
Mrs. Dong cried: "Master, what do you mean by this? Since I married you, I have served my parents-in-law and been loving to my children. I have never done anything wrong. Why do I only get a divorce letter in the end?"
Mr. Dong explained the stakes to his wife and said seriously: "I have heard you say that Changmao has a sinister temper. I didn't pay attention to it. Now that it is difficult to recover, I know that my wife has foresight."
"I have come to the end of my life, and I cannot cause you to suffer. You and Changfang should go back to your natal family in Lingxi. If possible, let Changfang join the Zhang family in Lingxi as an official. Although I have retired, I still have some in my hands.
The connections will be left to Changfang to use in Beijing in the future."
Mrs. Dong burst into tears, took the divorce letter, and immediately ordered people to pack her things and set off.
Dong Changfang heard these words outside the door, and before he had time to digest them, he rode his horse to Gu's house.
Lan Yan was very good at Qinggong. Just after she came back from the eldest princess's mansion, she saw Dong Changfang riding a horse to knock on the Gu family's door, and she couldn't help but feel deep displeasure in her eyes.
Dong Changfang dared to come to Gu's house at such a sensitive time, it was just looking for a fight.
Thinking of Dong Changfang's sincerity for her, Lan Yan had a rare kind thought and stopped him in time and took him to a deserted alley.
In a few days, Dong Changfang lost a lot of weight, but still looked honest and honest. He just heard him say: "Miss Lanyan, I'm just here to find you."
Lan Yan said impatiently: "I have become a concubine, what do you want Mr. Dong to do with me?"
Dong Changfang said awkwardly: "It is rumored that Prince Gu is very fond of girls. I came to see if Miss Lanyan is doing well. If it is true as the rumors say, I can leave with peace of mind."
Lan Yan didn't want to say these meaningless words to him, and said with a cold face: "I'm living a good life, Master Dong should not come to Gu's house easily. If there is nothing important, Lan Yan will leave first."
Dong Changfang said hurriedly: "Miss Lanyan, I am going to Lingnan this time, and I don't know when I will come back. But don't worry, I will study hard, and I will definitely impress you when I return to Kyoto."
These words are very touching, but Lan Yan always feels that everyone has his own destiny, and Dong Changfang's destiny was not to study and become an official.
After staying in Fei Restaurant for so long, she has already developed the ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts.
Even if he still didn't believe it in his heart, he still said perfunctorily: "I look forward to the day when Mr. Dong returns to the capital in fine clothes. There is a difference between men and women. Mr. Dong will cherish it from now on. Lan Yan bids farewell."
Lan Yan left without mercy, and Dong Changfang looked at her back with a feeling of loss.
After a short farewell, he embarked on his journey back to Lingxi.
...
Junze drove all the way to Yangkang Bookstore and saw Gu Yu in a green shirt among the crowd.
She was chatting with someone else, and she didn't know what they were talking about. She smiled slightly and her posture was elegant.
There was no trace of haze on Leng Chuchen's face, as if everything yesterday was gone.
Junze's hands hidden in his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.
The more Gu Yu is like this, the bigger the matter is.
How is it possible that someone could be so seriously injured and suffer such a big blow and still be able to talk and laugh happily the next day?
It's obviously the same clothes and the same appearance.
But Junze just felt that the high-spirited Gu Yu, who was riding a horse and shooting arrows, rode away on a strong horse and went to a place where no one could find him.
What's left is just an empty shell.
Suddenly, the student who brought flowers to Gu Yu at the peony banquet yesterday, who had a mediocre appearance, mediocre temperament, and seemed not very bright, actually said something to her and patted her on the shoulder.
Junze's eyes were sharp and he saw that the expression on Gu Yu's face was stiff for a moment.
Junze's eyes were so angry that he was about to spit out fire.
Is she crazy?
He didn't know he was injured and let others touch him casually.
With a stern look on his face, Junze walked quickly into the crowd, took Gu Yu's hand in front of everyone and walked to a deserted place.
Gao Huai and the others recognized this person as King Xiaoyao and did not dare to stop him when they saw him.
Normally, Gu Yu could still fight with him a few times, but now she was seriously injured, and the slightest movement would cause the wound to be torn.
Let Junze pull her to a side room, and then he said coldly: "Your Majesty has many things to do, so he pulled me here in a hurry. I don't know what important things to explain."
Junze's nose was very sensitive, and he could smell the smell of blood emanating from her body as soon as he got close.
He immediately said angrily: "Gu Yu, do you want your life?"
Gu Yu lazily raised his eyes.
Junze doesn't even want to pretend anymore. He already knew the consequences of what she suffered last night.
Lan Yan was a fig leaf for the game between the two of them.
She really couldn't figure out why Junze lifted this fig leaf now and said such strange things.
She said disapprovingly: "I don't understand what the prince said. He is busy with the talks. If the prince is free, he might as well go on more inspections. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the talks. Don't let anything scare the horse again."
"Stop pretending to be confused for me." Junze said angrily, "It won't be a problem if you are missing from the talk party. On the contrary, if you are injured and don't take good care of yourself, why are you here?"
