It took a long time for Gu Chengfeng to suppress the anger and jealousy at the bottom of his heart, but he was still upset, "Who is it? Just who is scheming against us? Not only did they set up my eldest brother, they also framed me! If I find out who the other party is, I will definitely cut them in half!"
This matter was indeed very strange. Setting a trap for Gu Changqing alone wasn’t strange. After all, there were many people who wanted Gu Changqing dead. However, impersonating Fei Shuang to trap Gu Changqing was somewhat thought-provoking.
Was it not the intention of the other party to pretend to be Fei Shuang, or did the other party deliberately pretended to be Fei Shuang knowing who Fei Shuang was?
Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng were each preoccupied with their own thoughts when suddenly, a tall and powerful figure walked towards them.
Gu Chengfeng raised his eyes and momentarily froze, "Grand, Grandfather!"
Old Marquis had just finished arguing with Tang Yueshan without reaching any resolution and was currently in the worst mood. When he saw Gu Chengfeng walking with a little girl, he came over with a cold face.
As he got closer, he saw that it was the little medical woman who had treated the Emperor's head in the street.
Old Marquis didn’t have a good impression of this little medical woman. Back then, this little medical woman accused someone of harming her but instead of handing over the other party to the authorities, she personally punished the person. Then, when he tried to arrest her, she resisted, so he ended up striking the Emperor on the head with a whip.
"What are you doing with a medical woman?" Old Marquis asked Gu Chengfeng with a stern voice.
Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth and then remembered that the two of them had never met before. He hesitated for a moment before introducing Gu Jiao, "Grandfather, she is Gu Yan's sister, the other of the twins." Turning to Gu Jiao, he added, "He’s my grandfather and also your grandfather."
Gu Jiao didn’t call him ‘grandfather’.
Old Marquis's eyebrows twisted.
This girl... was his granddaughter?
Old Marquis didn’t think that Gu Jiao recognized him long ago. After all, as far as he could remember, Gu Jiao only met him once, and at that time, neither the Emperor nor Marquis Xuanping called him by his identity.
However... Now that Gu Chengfeng had introduced them to each other, could she not even call him grandfather?
Anyway, Old Marquis didn't care about this granddaughter. Without any expectations, there weren't any disappointments. If she didn’t want to address him as grandfather, then so be it. He really didn’t care.
“What are you doing here in the military camp?” Asked Old Marquis.
"Delivering medicine." Gu Jiao answered.
That’s right, she was a medical woman ah.
If this granddaughter had grown up on the Marquis Estate, he would not have allowed her to become one.
Old Marquis was deeply troubled by Gu Changqing’s matter and didn't have time for a granddaughter who was not even close to him. He asked Gu Chengfeng, "Who allowed you to come to the military camp? Without my orders, you are not allowed to come here again!"
"But..."
“No buts!”
Old Marquis forcefully interrupted Gu Chengfeng’s words, "What time is it now? Stop coming over to cause trouble!"
"How did the talk with Supreme Commander Tang go?" Gu Jiao asked all of a sudden.
The meaning of these words was obvious, she knew the situation of Gu Changqing and she cared about this matter.
Old Marquis always thought that this granddaughter didn't want to associate herself with the Marquis Ding’an Estate whatsoever, but now it seemed that this wasn’t the case at all. Her appearance here with Gu Chengfeng and the delivery of medicine to the military camp on the day of Gu Changqing's accident were no coincidence.
Of course, Old Marquis wouldn’t stop her from seeing her stepbrothers, but the consequences of this matter were too serious for even himself to intervene, let alone a girl like her.
"This is none of your business." He said in a deep voice. "Hurry back after delivering the medicine!”
He had no time to deal with a little girl right now. He had to find a way to stop Tang Yueshan as soon as possible, otherwise Gu Changqing’s life couldn’t be saved.
"I'm just in the Miraculous Hands Hall." Gu Jiao stared at his departing back and said, "If you need something, you can come find me."
Heh, what could a little girl like her do to help?
Simply didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Old Marquis took Gu Chengfeng with him and left without looking back.
Gu Jiao waited for the medical officer to finish examining the jinchuang medicine, and then got on the carriage to leave.
Perhaps because she slept too late last night, Gu Jiao fell asleep inside the carriage.
Then she had a dream.
In the dream, the Gu Family never found the real culprit. As a result, Gu Changqing was forced into a desperate situation. With both human and material evidence, Tang Yueshan ordered Gu Changqing to be dealt with by military law. Gu Changqing was to be executed three days later.
In order to prevent his eldest brother from being executed, Gu Chengfeng resolutely went to the military camp the same day to reveal his identity, saying that he was Fei Shuang, the one who killed those soldiers, and that Gu Changqing escaped from prison in order to capture him.
As punishment for cutting off Tang Ming's arm during a fight, Gu Changqing was flogged a hundred times and was stripped of his official position, he was then released afterwards.
What no one expected was that Tang Ming would be killed the same night Gu Changqing returned to the Marquis Estate.
Tang Ming didn’t die earlier or later, but was killed as soon as Gu Changqing came out of imprisonment. It was too much of a coincidence.
Regardless of what others believed, Tang Yueshan believed that it was Gu Changqqing’s doing. He was convinced that Gu Changqing was the one who killed Tang Ming.
Thereupon, the irrational Tang Yueshan rushed into the Marquis Ding'an Estate with his men and stabbed Gu Changqing in the heart with a sword...
Gu Jiao awoke with a start.
Everything in the dream was frighteningly vivid. Even the blood that flowed out of Gu Changqing's heart and dripped onto her fingertips, she seemed to still feel its warmth.
This tragic event would take place tonight.
Right after noon, Tang Yueshan would announce the execution of Gu Changqing in three days.
In the afternoon, Gu Chengfeng would go to the military camp to "turn himself in".
Tang Ming would then be assassinated in the night.
Preventing the tragedy from happening was actually simple. As long as Gu Chengfeng did not go to the military camp to confess his crime, Gu Changqing would not be released, then he couldn’t be blamed for Tang Ming’s death.
However, there was a drawback to this course of action. They still didn’t know the culprit’s reason for killing Tang Ming, whether it was out of personal vendetta or to frame Gu Changqing.
If it was the former, then the other party would probably still assassinate Tang Ming tonight; If it was the latter, so long as Gu Changqing didn’t come out, the other party wouldn’t take action.
But if the culprit didn’t take action, how was she going to catch him?Raz P.'s Thoughts
