6. Father interrogation
Gu Qianxue didn't have the slightest liking for this cheap father, just because he sacrificed her without hesitation just now.
But at the same time, he was very disdainful of Gu Shangshu himself - this Gu Qingze was born as an official, his ancestors were all officials, but they were all small officials in the capital, and now Gu Qingze's generation actually took the position of Shangshu, which can be described as unprecedented glory. But it's not because of Gu Qingze's own strength, but because of his appearance.
Back then, Gu Qingze was a well-known handsome man with a refined temperament. He was admired by many famous ladies in Beijing, the first of which was Gu Qianxue's idiot, the Zhao family.
The Zhao family has been loyal and good throughout the generations, and the Grand Marshal of Zhenyuan, Zhao Yuanzheng, has a large army in his hands. His jewel in the palm, Zhao Ruolan, is more than enough to marry a prince and become a princess. Marshal Zhao had no choice but to follow the Zhao family. At the same time, he also married Shili Hongzhuang.
Similarly, the Pei family in the backyard of Gu's mansion, whose father is the prime minister and whose aunt is the current empress, has a prominent family background. If he hadn't entered the mansion later, the name of Mrs. Gu might have fallen on Pei's Pei Yurui. For the dowry, in addition to the huge dowry, there is also a huge backing of the Pei family.
In addition to these two heavyweight ladies, there are other daughters of courtiers, big and small, in the backyard of the Gu mansion. All the daughters are fascinated by Gu Qingze's appearance and bow down under his court robes.
Even in middle age, Gu Qingze is still handsome, with an air of refinement that is as ethereal as a fairy.
And Gu Qianxue's appearance also resembled this cheap father.
It can be said that Gu Qingze got to this point mostly because of nepotism, which is also what Gu Qianxue disdains for him.
"Does Master Shang Shu have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, Qianxue will go to rest first." Gu Qianxue had a faint smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Rest? Do you still have the face to rest?" Gu Shangshu was furious.
Gu Qianxue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head, her face full of confusion. "Qianxue is puzzled, why is Lord Shangshu so angry?"
Gu Shangshu wished he could strangle this daughter who had a sudden temperament change with his own hands, "Do you still have the face to ask? If you hadn't pushed His Royal Highness Li into the water, Gu's residence would have been so dangerous?"
"Who said I pushed Wang Li into the water? Did Lord Shang Shu see it with his own eyes?" Gu Qianxue asked without answering.
"You are still sophistry under the eyes of everyone?" Gu Shangshu shouted.
Gu Qianxue slowly got up with a sneer, patted her wet skirt, "Whoever saw this lady push Wang into the water with his own eyes, stand up." As she spoke, she raised her eyes to scan the crowd around her.
People were stunned by this question, and no one answered, they just wondered in their hearts, why is Miss Miss different from the past? Usually, the eldest lady is simple-minded, has a bad temper, and speaks a lot of swear words, but today's eldest lady feels that there is something deep in every word she says, which is strange.
The crowd was silent, and the incident happened so suddenly that they did not see clearly how King Li fell into the water.
At this time, there were two people at the end of the crowd whispering to each other, looking furtively.
Gu Qianxue glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye, and said unhurriedly, "From the beginning to the end, His Highness Li Wang himself did not say who pushed him into the water. I advise you to consider the consequences before speaking, and weigh whether you are afford it."
In a word, it warned the two people who were about to move, and gave Gu Shangshu hope.
"Xue'er, how did King Li fall into the lake?" Gu Shangshu suddenly changed his address.
"Slip." Gu Qianxue spread her hands.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Are you sure?" Gu Shangshu narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Believe it or not."
Gu Shangshu didn't know what he was thinking about, and after a long while, he said, "Okay, Xue'er, you are also shocked, go back and have a good rest, change your clothes, we will talk about this later."
"That's great, that's great, your father forgave you." As soon as Gu Shangshu's voice fell, Mrs. Zhao began to be overjoyed.
"..." Gu Qianxue held her forehead, feeling a desire to faint, "Mother, don't you see that it doesn't matter whether Shang Shu forgives me or not, what matters is whether King Li forgives me?"
