Gong Cheng stared at Chen Tang's back.
Lips whispered: "I'm sorry about this..."
The extermination of the Shen family is inseparable from the Gong family.
He was supposed to protect the last bloodline of the Shen family, but he failed to do so.
This made the upright young man feel tormented and indescribable guilt and shame when facing his "brother-in-law" Chen Tang.
"What's the point of you saying sorry to me?" Chen Tang seemed to have just come back to his senses. He turned around and looked at Gong Cheng, who was full of shame, with his black eyes that were filled with thousands of words. "I know who my enemy is very well! What's the point of taking my anger out on you, who is also a victim?"
Gong Cheng was stunned.
The misty water vapor carries a blush and spreads from the corners of the eyes.
He almost choked up and said, "Thank you."
In just two months, his life was turned upside down. From a noble family who was once rich and powerful, he suddenly became a prisoner of his entire clan. Not to mention saving his clan members, even his own life was saved by an old friend.
When he saw Chen Tang, he was mentally prepared to be grabbed by the collar, beaten and scolded, but he didn't expect that the other party did not blame him.
"Zheng Qiao is the one who deserves to die!" Chen Tang paused, then added with murderous intent, "You don't need to apologize!"
She hates to see others cry.
Especially those who are young and good-looking.
Whenever she cried, her head would hurt and she was afraid that her tears would drown her.
This powerful sentence was like a sharp blade, cutting through the confusion, decadence and depression that had accumulated in Gong Cheng's heart over the past few days - yes, Zheng Qiao, the current ruler of Geng State and the former favorite "female vassal", was the culprit and the initiator - his wooden and dead eyes fluctuated for a moment, and the emotion called "hatred" gave rise to new motivation, spreading to every inch of his limbs.
The hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist little by little, repeating Chen Tang's words word by word, as if he was speaking to himself.
"Yes, you're right... Damn it's Zheng Qiao!"
When the waiter saw this, his heart finally settled down.
Gong Cheng was dismissed from his post and forced to walk in shackles for more than a month. He witnessed his fellow soldiers being humiliated by the escorting officials, some of whom died of their injuries, some of whom died of illness, and some of whom died of hunger and starvation... Although he survived, he did not have much desire to live.
The heart is depressed, the vital energy collapses, and the body's foundation is destroyed. Even with the best medicine, the patient can only survive.
If he is willing to think positively, he should be able to recover soon.
Chen Tang: “…”
OK┓(´∀`)┏
His brother-in-law is his brother-in-law, as long as you like him.
Her gender is really Schrödinger's gender. Ordinary people call her "little lady", while those who are talented and brave call her "little gentleman".
Everyone agreed that the other person had eye problems.
The young man, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at Chen Tang with his peripheral vision, as if he was thinking about something, and asked her: "Excuse me, Zheng Qiao ordered the extermination of the entire Shen family, and the action was as swift as thunder, and the news was not leaked. How did Young Master Shen escape?"
Chen Tang: "I was not there at the time, so I took advantage of the chaos to save his life."
The young man thought: "Oh?"
Chen Tang sneered coldly and responded sarcastically.
"Why, the fifth doctor of Gong's family can still escape, but I am not worthy of being lucky enough to save my life?"
This statement brought out the meaning of "yin and yang" to its fullest, and it also stabbed Gong Cheng in the heart. He quickly interrupted the young man and said, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Shen's family are all loyal and brave, not afraid of power or death, and they will never be like you guessed."
The young man's face darkened: "..."
Does Gong Yunchi know what he guessed
Do you think he suspected that the young master Shen in front of him was afraid of death and ran away faster than a rabbit when he heard the wind, abandoning his entire clan
Questioning his character and morality
shallow!
He clearly felt that there was something wrong with Gong Yunchi's "brother-in-law"! He had mentioned several times that the Shen family had been exterminated. With such strong hatred and hundreds of lives owed, even if one controlled his emotions well, there would be flaws. But this person's heart was blank!
Is this a beaver
This is unreasonable!
It would be fine if she used the spirit of words to resist his mind reading, but she did not mobilize the spirit of words. In other words, this young master Shen deliberately emptied his mind, not thinking or thinking, and was always on guard against him.
With such caution, how could there not be ghosts
The waiter did notice a detail.
"Is the fifth doctor of Gong's family on the run?"
Chen Tang nodded: "This is what I heard, but this is news from a month ago, I don't know if he has been caught now."
Gong Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly grabbed the waiter and said, "Fifth Doctor... Mr. Weng Zhi, Mr. Gu, that must be my second uncle!"
Although the Fifth Doctor is only the ninth rank among the Wudan, Gong Cheng's second uncle is still young and his talent is recognized as good. He is a model of young fame and has great room for growth. If there had not been this incident, his future achievements would have been no less than the fourteenth rank!
This was the best news he had heard in days.
As long as his second uncle is still alive, there is still hope for the future!
Chen Tang didn't have the heart to pour cold water on him. The words she wanted to say rolled around in her throat for several times, but she finally swallowed them back.
"If there is nothing else, I won't bother you anymore."
The young man named Gu could read her mind. She felt uncomfortable being in the same space and breathing the same air with him.
Gong Cheng said: "Brother-in-law..."
Chen Tang suppressed the throbbing veins and the violence that was about to break out in his heart, and smiled very reluctantly: "Since the three bows were not completed, and she has passed away, let's forget about this title."
Gong Cheng's face turned pale: "But..."
"My name is Chen Tang, my name is Youli, you can call me whatever you want." Chen Tang had a blank expression. You can call me whatever you want, as long as you stop calling me "brother-in-law". There was no need to remind her over and over again that it was too sad to be mistaken for a boy every day with a pretty girl's face.
Gong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Youli."
Chen Tang bowed perfunctorily: "Goodbye."
"Wait a moment!" Gong Cheng struggled to get up, looked at Chen Tang sincerely and said, "If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
He wanted to tell Chen Tang that he could come to him if he had any troubles. This former brother-in-law was good-looking and young. He didn't know how many difficulties he would encounter wandering alone. Not to mention other things, food, clothing and other expenses would be enough to give him a headache. But he changed his mind and realized that he was even more destitute than him. At least his former brother-in-law's Dan Mansion was intact, and even if his Wenxin rank was not high, he could barely make a living. But what about himself
There is one injured person who still needs help and care from old friends.
If we really get into trouble, it’s hard to say who will help whom.
So he could only give a promise for the future.
Shen Tang paused, his expression complicated.
"Okay, I'll take note of what you said."
As soon as she left, the young man asked, "Yun Chi, how much do you know about the Shen family? How many people are there in the family head's lineage?"
With the help of the two, Gong Cheng returned to the bed and lay down.
"Why is Mr. Gu asking these questions?"
"Your brother-in-law said that these paintings..." The young man handed the secret pictures that made men and women imagine to Gong Cheng, who looked confused, "They were all painted by the 'brother' mentioned by your brother-in-law. So, how many descendants does the Shen family have?"
Gong Cheng took it and opened it without any psychological preparation.
The impact was overwhelming.
The next moment, his fingers seemed to be licked by flames, and he was so scared that he quickly threw the painting away with an expression as if he had seen a ghost and was shocked.
