Lin Ruan asked Gu Xin'er to help her up, "It's not that I don't want to help, but this matter involves the royal face, and I'm also very embarrassed." ”

Xiao Shi was so anxious that he cried: "Ah Ruan, please help Xin'er, she has nothing now, and she is already very pitiful." I just want her to live well. ”

Lin Ruan glanced at the mother and daughter: "Actually, you can go back to the house for help, although the Gu family is declining day by day, but in the end there is still a title, they can go into the palace to find the emperor." Xin'er is the bloodline of the Gu family, and no matter how selfish the Gu family is, it is impossible to watch her have an accident. ”

Gu Xin'er was shocked suddenly, a little suspicious of what she heard.

Xiao's expression changed abruptly, and he desperately denied it, "Ah Ruan, what are you talking about?" How could Xin'er be the bloodline of the Gu family, she was just ......"

Lin Ruan interrupted her: "Madam, are you still going to hide it from Xin'er?" She's going to use herself to block the horse for you. How can you bear to see her in the dark all the time? ”

Xiao Shi's heart was so weak that he didn't dare to raise his head, so he just said vigorously: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Seeing her like that, Gu Xin'er hurriedly pulled her and asked, "Mother, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Am I really the bloodline of the Gu family? ”

Xiao didn't dare to answer, but he couldn't deny it, he desperately lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

Lin Ruan said: "Xin'er, don't force her." Your mother didn't dare to say it, she had kept this secret for fifteen years, and if she did, the Gu family would not let her go. ”

Gu Xin'er looked back at Lin Ruan: "You know the truth, right?" Ah Ruan, no, county lord, please tell me. ”

Xiao Shi looked up at Lin Ruan as if begging, begging her not to say anything.

Lin Ruan said: "Madam, it's already here, don't you say it?" Even I know, do you think there's still a need to keep that secret? ”

Xiao's face was frighteningly pale, his mind was blank, and there was only one thought left: It's over!

Lin Ruan didn't embarrass the Xiao family much, and only said to Gu Xin'er lightly: "You are the biological daughter of Gu Lian and the Xiao family, and your birthday is only more than two months younger than me. Later, my mother died, and I was disposed of by the Gu family, and you were taken back to Kyoto by the Gu family from your mother's hometown, and you were given the identity of Gu Ruan. Ten years later, when I returned to Kyoto, the Gu family recognized me for various purposes, but you were named an adopted daughter because you didn't dare to let the Shen family know the truth. ”

After Gu Xin'er listened, she was stunned on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.

"It's not true, it's not true! Is that right? Mother, this is not true! ”

Xiao couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it's not true, you're not the daughter of the Gu family, no." ”

She didn't dare to admit it, Lin Ruan's words just now revealed too much information, she knew Gu Xin'er's life experience, and the reason why she was exiled back then, and she also said it, was that Shen's death, she also knew?

She didn't dare to think too much, she just desperately denied it, as if only in this way could she continue to cover up the truth.

Lin Ruan said lightly: "It's useless to deny it, Xin'er's face is the best evidence." The reason why the Shen family has never doubted her identity in the past ten years is because of that face that is somewhat similar to Gu Lian. ”

Gu Xin'er reached out and touched her face, yes, she ignored this for a long time. Because she never suspected that her identity was related to the Gu family, she didn't notice at all that she had the fact that Gu Lian looked very similar.

Lin Ruan continued: "Haven't you always wondered, why is the Xiao family so good to you, no matter what your identity is, she treats you as if she is out? Not because she's a really good person, but because you're her daughter. After you were born, the Gu family was afraid that the Shen family would find out, so they sent you back to the Xiao family's hometown. If it weren't for the mystery of my mother's death, and they had to deal with me to cover up the truth, you would have grown up in the countryside as a shady identity for the rest of your life. ”

The more Xiao listened, the more frightened he became, and desperately denied it: "It's not like this, it's not!" ”

Lin Ruan smiled faintly, "Third Madam Gu, even if you deny it, I won't force you." After all, you are Gu Lian's wife, and you want to protect the Gu family, and you also use this to protect yourself. But I can also tell you the truth and understand that I have all kinds of doubts about my mother's death, otherwise I would not have returned to the Gu family. Every move of the Gu family is under my control. Including the killers you once bought, all of them were taken down by me, and now they are enjoying special treatment on the Jinyi Guard's side. I have a way to find out the truth about my mother's death, and the reason why I am willing to spend time with you is just because I don't want to hurt the innocent. And this innocent includes you, Gu Xin'er, and Gu Qi. ”

Xiao Shi suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, his expression was both frightened and incredulous.

Lin Ruan still had that expression, "You don't have to doubt the truth of my words. When you first started, you were just Gu Lian's outer room, and you couldn't know any decisions made by the Gu family. So I can conclude that my mother's death shouldn't have much to do with you. But I know that you know part of the truth about what happened back then. So, you want me to help, I can help, but there are conditions. ”

Gu Xin'er said bluntly: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will agree to any conditions, even if it is to tell the truth of the year." ”

Xiao hurriedly stopped: "Xin'er, you can't do this!" ”

Gu Xin'er sneered: "Why not!" The Gu family can use me to protect themselves, why can't I use them? ”

She has no feelings for the Gu family at all now, especially after knowing that she is Gu Lian's biological daughter, her disgust with the Gu family has deepened.

Xiao has many concerns, she is the wife of the Gu family, she also has a son, if the Gu family falls, what will her son do? So she made up her mind that she would not admit what Lin Ruan said.

Lin Ruan didn't force her, "Third Mrs. Gu, whether you tell the truth or not, I can find out." But your children will be directly affected by your attitude. Oh, by the way, the third prince has dealt with Gu Xin'er several times without any effect, and now you and she are here with me again, what do you guess his next move? ”

Xiao's heart burst out: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "I don't mean anything else, I just remind you that Gu Qike is still in the academy, and it is easy to become the target of the third prince." If you are willing to tell the truth of the year and let me have less effort, I can help you get him safely and reunite your mother and son. And promise that after cleaning up the Gu family, I will make sure that you really did not participate in the killing of my mother, and I will rearrange a new identity for the three of you, mother and son, and send you to a place where no one knows each other, and start a new life. Otherwise, I will just sit idly by, and then find out the truth and then inform the Shen family. When the time comes, do you think the Shen family will spare you and your children? ”
