Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This time, Judge Wu did not try to be brave. Instead, he looked at Gu Qingxue with a complicated gaze. “How did you know about my relationship with your father?”
“I have many friends in Jing City. It is not difficult to find out who my father was good friends with,” Gu Qingxue said with a light smile.
Seeing Judge Wu’s expression gradually turn serious, Gu Qingxue maintained a calm expression, but her heart was not as relaxed.
She had also learned about the friendship between her father and Judge Wu from her godmother.
Back then, Judge Wu was too honest, and had accidentally offended someone. He had been framed for poisoning a palace maid in the palace and was once imprisoned in the punishment hall for execution.
However, he was a tough nut to crack and refused to admit it no matter what. He would rather die than be framed by others. He was beaten black and blue by the executioners of the punishment hall.
It was her father who had examined the palace maid’s corpse, obtained the truth, and returned Judge Wu innocence.
Judge Wu had always been a vengeful person, and later on, he had eliminated those who had deliberately framed him one by one.
People like him valued friendship the most. Although he did not show it on his face, after her father’s accident, Judge Wu was the only one who disregarded his own safety to try to find out the truth of what happened that year. Although he did not succeed in the end, his sincerity was enough to explain everything.
Judge Wu saw the sharp glint in Gu Qingxue’s clear black and white eyes, and his lips suddenly curved into a light smile. “Heh, I really didn’t expect that a gentle person like your father would raise a daughter like you.”
Gu Qingxue noticed that the aura exuding from Judge Wu’s body was less cold, so she walked back to his side and sat down again. She smiled and said, “I’ll just take it that your words are a compliment. Judge Wu, I would like to ask you to tell me, how did my father die that year?”
The judge looked at Gu Qingxue. He did not know why, but Gu Qingxue’s clear eves made him think of her father. Gu Ye-
He could reject Gu Qingxue, but he could not reject Gu Ye’s daughter.
“I don’t know how your father died that year. I was incompetent and didn’t find out the truth. I don’t think you have the ability to find out the truth. You’re Gu Ye’s daughter, so you have the right to know the truth back then. However, I’m warning you, even if you know the truth, don’t do anything. You’re only a third-rank official. The person who wanted your father’s life back then could also easily get rid of you.” Judge Wu’s words were sharp and merciless.
Gu Qingxue observed Judge Wu’s expression and realized that this person was just as the rumors said. His words were sharp and incisive, as if he was holding a spear in his hand.
However, the more straightforward he was, the easier it was to get along with him. She seemed to have understood why Judge Wu was able to get along so well with her gentle father.
“Thank you, Judge Wu. I will do my best.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she looked at Qin Yun. “Go stand guard outside the door. Don’t let anyone get close.”
Qin Yun left the back hall obediently.
Gu Qingxue poured a cup of tea for Judge Wu, who reached out to take it. After he finished it in one gulp, he looked at her with a complicated gaze. “How much do you know about your father?”
Gu Qingxue shook her head, her tone calm. “I know almost nothing about my father. I have even forgotten what he looks like..”
