The past experiences that Su Liang told Min Rou were similar to what her family members except Gu Ling knew. Time travel and superpowers were not mentioned at all.
Although Min Rou told her the biggest secret on the island that she knew, including the story of the time traveler Mo Yan. Firstly, Min Rou had no idea about "travelers", and secondly, all she talked about were other people's affairs, and
It's not her own secret.
Therefore, Su Liang's "exchange" was also measured, but he avoided some things, and what he said was almost all the truth.
After listening to this, Min Rou couldn't help but sigh, "You two are truly a match made in heaven."
She once thought that love was like that of her parents. Now the thought of it only makes her feel ironic and ridiculous.
After she came to the capital, she envied the marriages of her two cousins. She felt that they had found the right husband and lived a comfortable life.
But after listening to the story of Su Liang and Gu Ling, Min Rou felt that there was no matchmaking between them, which was ordered by their parents, and there was no love at first sight in the book. The love between them, knowing each other bit by bit, was really beautiful and beautiful.
It's interesting. In comparison, the stories in those story books all seem mediocre and boring.
In addition to love, Su Liang's hard work along the way, even if she didn't say it, judging from the results, Min Rou had to admire her deeply.
"Compared to you, my previous life was as plain as water." Min Rou laughed at herself.
Su Liang shook his head, "Your plainness is that you are calm and worry-free. This alone is better than most people in this world. It is precisely because I have no one to rely on that I need to rely on myself to keep moving forward.
Don't stop, don't be careless, otherwise you will be bitten and devoured by the sudden appearance of 'tigers and wolves'."
Min Rou was originally very naive, but carefree has the capital to be naive.
Min Rou understood what Su Liang meant, and felt even more ashamed, "You're right." She heard Su Liang talk about the past, and many interesting points were her superficial understanding as a spectator. In fact, those things were
Danger and opportunity coexist. Without enough strength and mind, you will fall into a desperate situation and be unable to stand up.
"From now on, I have no home..." Min Rou looked bitter. She had been avoiding thinking about what would happen to her parents today, but no matter what, the warm and harmonious home that was once disguised by the people around her was
, no longer exists for her.
Su Liang patted Min Rou's shoulder gently, "Aren't you envious of me? This is your chance to grow independently."
Min Rou: ...She has no confidence in herself and is full of confusion at the moment.
Zheng'er carried Gu Xiaonuan upstairs and said that her sister was hungry.
Su Liang fed her daughter milk, and Gu Xiaonuan made babbling sounds and pointed at the window with her little finger.
"The rain has stopped and Grandpa Lin hasn't come yet. Shall we take my sister out to play?" Zheng'er asked.
Su Liang put on the little hat given by Ji Yuexuan on Gu Xiaonuan, "It's cold outside, you and Xiaoshu should put on more clothes before going out."
Su Liang originally wanted to arrange for Min Rou to live in the courtyard closest to Yuanming Pavilion, but she took the initiative to sleep in the underground secret room at night. "I don't ask you what you will do with my mother in the end, but she is still alive now and needs someone to take care of her."
, I’m right down there and I won’t act rashly.”
"I believe it. But I want to remind you, put away your curiosity when you go back down there, don't walk around, and don't touch things down there, otherwise you will be in danger." Su Liang said. That was carefully planned by Master and Disciple Lao Mu and Gu Ling.
The maze was created by the maze. Although Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu occasionally went down to play, they carefully noted down where they couldn't walk and where they couldn't touch.
Min Rou said she understood.
Because of the rain, Lin Shuzhi arrived later than usual. He saw Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu pushing Gu Xiaonuan to play by the lake. Lao Mu looked at them in the pavilion, only smiled and said hello, and then told them that classes were closed today.
Ji Xiaoshu cheered, "Will classes be suspended tomorrow too?"
Zheng'er frowned, "Xiao Shu, you will be beaten by the master if you do this."
"Master is not at home." Ji Xiaoshu said, looking behind him and seeing no one. He was a little disappointed, "I was just wondering if Master had come back and was hiding next to me, waiting to lift me up and beat me up!
"
Zheng'er: ...So Ji Xiaoshu deliberately said that he hoped to suspend classes tomorrow because he wanted to test whether Gu Ling was back? In other words, he expected to be beaten? Speechless...
Lin Shuzhi entered Yuanming Pavilion with a smile and saw Su Liang coming down from upstairs.
"Master is looking for me or Gu Ling?" Su Liang asked.
"He's still not here?" Lin Shuzhi asked. In the past few days, he had never seen Gu Ling at home.
Su Liang nodded, "He's out."
"Is everything okay in the palace?" Lin Shuzhi pointed out.
Su Liang nodded again, "The Emperor is well."
Lin Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." Although he knew that even if Duanmu Chen died, the Qian Kingdom would not be in chaos, but he still hoped that Duanmu Chen would be well. After all, Duanmu Chen is indeed very suitable for sitting on the dragon throne.
Secondly, Gu Ling and Su Liang didn't want to be pushed into that position.
"There is no news from the north. I don't know if a fight has already started." Lin Shuzhi sighed deeply.
Su Liang felt that even if the war hadn't started yet, it was about to happen. The driving force behind it was Mo Yan and the portable space he had. After the turmoil in the capital subsided, she and Gu Ling had to quickly consider how to deal with the war in the north and solve Liang Guo's war.
Hidden danger.
Su Liang didn't take the initiative to say more about the current situation, and Lin Shuzhi didn't ask any more questions. They talked about the children for a while, then stood up and left.
…
Min Shangshu Mansion.
In the evening, Old Minister Min came to Min Rui's yard again.
Min Rui woke up once, moved a little, and before making any sound, he was dragged out from under the bed by Gu Ling, knocked unconscious again, stuffed with drug, and kicked back.
At this time, Gu Ling pretended to be Min Rui and sat opposite Mr. Min.
"Rui'er, have your wife and Rou'er returned to the place where you originally lived?" Old Minister Min asked.
Gu Ling nodded slightly and imitated Min Rui's voice, "Maybe I will go back, or maybe I will find another place to avoid the limelight."
Master Min sighed deeply, "I don't know if my father will ever see Rou'er again in his lifetime."
"Yes." Gu Ling said.
When Old Minister Min heard his affirmative tone, he was stunned for a moment, hesitated to speak, glanced at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Rui'er, what you said when you came back in the past twenty years are all true? No.
What are you hiding?"
Gu Ling remained silent.
Mr. Min's face became more and more uneasy, "You...don't be confused! If someone forces you to do something, say it quickly and don't hide it. Although our Min family is not more prominent than the Qin family, we are more important to Qin family."
The country is loyal and loyal, and the emperor is very lenient, but you cannot do anything that will harm the family and the country!"
"What will happen if we do it?" Gu Ling asked.
Mr. Min's face turned pale instantly, "If you dare to do something rebellious, my father will have no choice but to expel you from the house! We can't let the entire Min family be buried with you!"
Gu Ling nodded, "I understand. Don't be afraid, there is nothing like you always worry about."
Old Minister Min was a little annoyed and raised his hand to strike Gu Ling, but he pulled it back halfway and glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense! Remember!"
Gu Ling nodded again, indicating that he remembered.
After the old minister Min left, Gu Ling ate dinner alone. The dinner brought to Min Rui was very bland and not delicious. Gu Ling just wanted to fill his stomach. The sight of the children having a lively meal made him really want to go back immediately. But no, he had to stay here and wait for He Wei who might appear.
Cen Man came secretly to replace Gu Ling, but she didn't see Gu Ling. She thought about it and felt that things had changed, so she went home to discuss it with Su Liang.
"He's not there?" Su Liang frowned. She had been waiting for Gu Ling to come back and tell him the information she learned from Min Rou today.
Cen Man looked worried, "I didn't see anyone. Is something going to happen?"
Su Liang felt that the group's goal today was to blow up Duanmu Chen. He Wei acted cautiously. It was unlikely that he would kill Min Rui in broad daylight, but he might go to Min's house tonight.
So...Su Liang suspected that Gu Ling might be pretending to be Min Rui, waiting for He Wei to appear in the room and take him down?
"It should be fine." Su Liang said to Cen Man, "Master, please go there again and stay there to see if there will be any movement tonight. Be careful." If something happens, Cen Man and Gu Ling can join forces. Be more confident.
After hearing this, Cen Man went to Min Mansion again.
That night, many people had no sleep.
Duanmu Chen was still in the library. In order to avoid attracting attention, he did not light a lamp. He could not sleep or read. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned. As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the terrible smoke rising from the palace that exploded during the day. If it hadn't been for Gu Ling's recent I have been protecting him, and he has died more than once... Duanmu Chen thought, and tightened his grip on the nail gun in his hand. The cold iron bumps were warmed by his body, but it could not calm his uneasy heart.
Min Rou was sitting in the underground secret room, looking at Mrs. Min lying next to her. Her mind was thinking about things from her childhood, and then thinking about the present. It was so confusing and complicated that she couldn't figure it out.
Lao Mu didn't sleep either. When Gu Ling wasn't at home, he knew that things were getting more and more uneasy these days. He wanted to stay awake and watch over Su Liang and the children.
Su Liang was reading a book, waiting for Gu Ling to come back.
Gu Ling lay on Min Rui's bed and waited quietly all night. Cen Man was just across the wall and waited all night. But the Min Mansion was quiet that night, and no one came.
It's almost dawn.
Gu Ling sat up from the bed, frowning in thought. He had to leave, he couldn't spend time here all the time. Min Rui was not important, but he might know some useful information, but he couldn't be allowed to see He Wei sober. To alert the snake.
At this time, it was quiet outside. Gu Ling went out from the window and saw Cen Man.
Cen Man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Gu?"
Gu Ling nodded, "Master, go back first and tell Su Liang that I am fine here and I will go home later."
After hearing this, Cen Man left without asking any questions.
Gu Ling returned to the room, dragged Min Rui out from under the bed, and pricked an acupuncture point on him with a needle.
Min Rui woke up quickly and heard a cold voice coming from his ear, "Don't yell. Even if you attract people, your father won't go against me to protect you."
Min Rui's face froze. It was Gu Ling, and he knew that what Gu Ling said was true. Not to mention that Min Rui himself had a fatal problem, even if he was innocent and did not make any mistakes, Old Minister Min would not do anything to take the overall situation into consideration. It might offend Gu Ling. Even if Gu Ling wants Min Rui's life.
"What am I going to ask you next? Answer me honestly. I can consider sparing your life for your father's sake. Otherwise, I can kill you just because you want to kill Mr. Qin." Gu Ling said coldly.
Min Rui looked panicked, "You...what do you want to know?"
"About that island. Who is the owner of the island?" Gu Ling asked.
Min Rui suddenly remembered what Gu Ling said yesterday before he fell into coma, "Your father-in-law wants to kill you." Thinking of Mrs. Min who lied to him about coming back but left, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gu Ling and said, "I'll tell everything I know." You, will you really let me go? I was arrested back then, and I have no control over what happens next."
Gu Ling nodded, "That depends on whether you can provide useful information."
"I believe in your character, and I believe you will not break your promise." Min Rui said this to Gu Ling, also to comfort himself. At this point, he has no other choice. Compromise to Gu Ling, and there is still hope to save his life. .As for his wife and daughter, he has no time to care about and can't count on them.
"That place is called Xingluo Island, and the owner of the island is named Mo Yan. He is about the same age as my father." Min Rui started talking and began to explain what he knew.
But as a live-in son-in-law and not liked by his father-in-law, Min Rui's status on the island is much lower than that of his daughter Min Rou, and he has no contact with Mo Yan.
The most important thing is that Min Rui doesn't know the location of the island, and he doesn't know anything about Mo Yan's portable space. "Mo Yan has a very powerful treasure. I don't know what it is, but my father-in-law He Wei He knows it, and he wants it, but he doesn't intend to kill Mo Yan, maybe because he can't."
Gu Ling thought that this should be the kind of portable space that Su Liang mentioned. It might not be an object that could change ownership. It might not exist after Mo Yan died.
"Why did you say you wanted to kill Su Liang?" Gu Ling asked.
Min Rui was stunned for a moment, and finally told a key piece of information, "It's because of her appearance. When He Qianqian saw Su Liang for the first time that day, she told her father that she must kill Su Liang because Su Liang Liang looks a lot like Mo Yan’s daughter, and if Mo Yan is allowed to see her, they may not get what they want.”
Gu Ling stared, was there such a thing? Shen Qingxue followed Mo Yan back then?
"I have never seen Mo Yan's daughter. When I went to the island, she was no longer there, and she seemed to be a taboo. No one on the island was allowed to mention her, which led me to think that Mo Yan was never married and had no children. "Min Rui continued.
In the end, Min Rui began to talk miserably, telling how he was arrested back then and how he had been looked down upon by the He family over the years. He also said that his desire to kill Mr. Qin was just an impulse and was bewitched by Mrs. Min. He regrets it now.
Gu Ling took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured two pills out of it, held Min Rui's chin, and stuffed it into his mouth with his frightened eyes.
Min Rui soon became stiff and developed symptoms similar to those of a stroke. He could open his mouth but could no longer speak clearly.
Then Gu Ling pulled Min Rui up from the ground, put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, turned around and left.
I won't kill Min Rui for the time being, just because I don't want He Wei to notice something is wrong, but it doesn't mean I'll let him go.
…
When Gu Ling returned home, his two young apprentices were doing morning exercises.
Gu Ling completely ignored Ji Xiaoshu's enthusiastic call across the lake and returned directly to Yuanming Pavilion.
"Elder brother, Master seems to be in a bad mood, and he didn't even come to beat me!" Ji Xiaoshu shared his findings.
Zheng'er was speechless, so Gu Ling beating him up meant he was in a good mood? Although that was almost the case, it still felt weird...
When Gu Ling went upstairs and saw Su Liang, she had just fed Gu Xiaonuan.
The couple looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were bloodshot.
"Wash up, have breakfast, and then take a nap." Su Liang said and put Gu Xiaonuan back into the cradle.
Gu Xiaonuan saw Gu Ling and stretched out her little hands, babbling for a hug.
But Gu Ling opened his arms and hugged Su Liang into his arms.
"Master, you've been working hard lately." Su Liang patted Gu Ling's back gently.
"It's okay." Gu Ling sighed slightly, "I just miss you so much."
Su Liang chuckled, "We have been separated for less than a day. Be good, wash your hands and go eat. Min Rou told you a lot of important things yesterday, I will tell you later."
Gu Ling let go of Su Liang, "Let's talk now. Min Rui also confessed, but he doesn't know much."
Then Su Liang took out yesterday's drawing and showed it to Gu Ling, and the two exchanged the information they had obtained.
Su Liang originally thought that the information she learned from Min Rou completely covered what Min Rui knew, until she heard Gu Ling talk about the reasons why He Wei and his daughter wanted to kill her.
Su Liang was stunned immediately, "Maybe I am Mo Yan and Shen Qingxue's...granddaughter?"
