Chapter 61: True Identity
"Now that there is not so much time to cultivate Liu'er, I am worried that the longer it drags on, the greater the danger." Gu Jinshu frowned, he was very worried now that someone would blatantly send a killer.
He didn't bring a lot of people, and if he really faced a large number of killers, it would be truly lifeless.
Jiang Chengli was taken aback, "It's me who thinks wrong, what you said is reasonable, we should set off immediately, but Liu Er doesn't know her identity yet, how can we make it clear to her?" “
Gu Jinshu looked at Jiang Chengli with deep eyes, "This matter has to bother my father-in-law, Liu'er believes in you, and she can't trust Liu'er without your words." ”
"This ...... Good. Jiang Chengli's eyes were resentful, this was a big problem for him, Liu Er seemed reasonable, but in fact he was very stubborn, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince.
So, Jiang Chengli said to Gu Jinshu with a smile: "It's better for you and me to go together, I'm stupid, and I want your help when the time comes." ”
Gu Jinshu was slightly stunned, then nodded, and then said in a cold voice: "Deal with this mother-in-law, don't let people know." ”
The gray person who had no sense of existence in the room walked over, nodded respectfully, and stuffed the cloth strip into Li's mother's mouth to prevent her from howling, and then broke the person's neck at once, the means were neat and merciless, obviously often doing murderous deeds.
Jiang Chengli gasped when he saw this, but then his heart settled down a lot, Gu Jinshu had such capable people under him, and it was much safer for them to return to Beijing.
After dinner, Jiang Yuanliu saw that his father and Gu Jinshu heard about it, and asked Teng to go out to guard the door every month.
Jiang Chengli opened all the windows and doors, and suddenly the situation outside the house was clear, and there would definitely be no eavesdropping.
Seeing Jiang Chengli's movements, the corners of Jiang Yuanliu's mouth twitched slightly, when I used to watch costume dramas, there would always be situations where two people were talking secrets in the room, and someone was eavesdropping outside the window, but now it doesn't seem reasonable at all.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yuanliu was confused, and then thought of the poisoning incident that happened this afternoon, and a glimmer of clarity rose in her heart that her father might be telling her about Gu Jinshu's identity.
Sure enough, Jiang Chengli said with a solemn expression: "Liu'er, what Daddy is going to say next may be very shocking, but Daddy will never lie to you, you have to believe me!" ”
Jiang Yuanliu nodded, "Daddy, please say, my daughter believes that only my father in this world will not lie to my daughter." ”
Jiang Chengli was very moved by Jiang Yuanliu's unreserved trust, but then fell into sorrow, he raised his daughter too purely, how could he deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards when he returned to the capital.
Jiang Chengli hesitated for a long time, and finally relentlessly and said in a deep voice: "Liu'er, you are not my biological daughter. ”
"What? Daddy, don't laugh, how can I not be your daughter, you see how similar our father and daughter look, if I am not your daughter, who can be your daughter! Jiang Yuanliu didn't believe it at all.
Jiang Chengli looked at Gu Jinshu for help, Jiang Yuanliu noticed Jiang Chengli's gaze, and snorted angrily, "Daddy, what do you think he does?" Could it be that the two of you are deliberately trying to fool me? But what happened at home? ”
"Liu'er, what my father-in-law said is true." Gu Jinshu's expression was very solemn, and his tone was quite serious.
Jiang Yuanliu was slightly stunned, "What do you mean by this?" How could I not be the daughter of the Jiang family! I don't believe it, but is it because someone poisoned me in my tonic soup today? Who did the Jiang family offend? So you want to kick me out of the Jiang family for refuge? ”
"Liu'er...... I have never lied to you, I am indeed not your biological father, your biological father is the protector Jiang Fengmao, I am a close confidant of the protector, when the Qing Qi country was in turmoil, the protector ordered me to take you to escape, in order to take refuge I fled back to my hometown with you. ”
Recalling the events of that year, Jiang Chengli's face was full of sadness, the situation was tense back then, and the wife and children of the protector of the country were poisoned, so he had to take the little master incognito and leave the country.
"Daddy, I only recognize you as a daddy!" After listening to Jiang Chengli's story, Jiang Yuanliu was even more grateful in her heart, if it weren't for Jiang Chengli's politeness to save her, she would have died a long time ago, so although she and Jiang Chengli are not related by blood, Jiang Chengli has the grace of life for her, not her father is better than her father.
Jiang Chengli hurriedly persuaded, "Liu'er, don't say that, the Lord Protector is thinking about you, so he ordered Jinshu to come and escort you back to Beijing." ”
Jiang Yuanliu looked at Gu Jinshu, who was silent on the side, knowing his life experience, and only then did he understand Gu Jinshu's purpose, it turned out that Gu Jinshu came to Hulan County, a poor and remote place, to cover up his identity, for her.
"The Protector is my father-in-law, and the Protector has been secretly investigating your whereabouts for so many years, and I have only recently had an eyebrow, worried that someone will not leave you in the secret, so I specially ordered me to come and pick you up." Gu Jinshu told a lie, in fact, the Protector didn't know that he had found Jiang Yuanliu.
First, he was worried that the Protector would miss his whereabouts because of his happiness, and second, he was not sure if Jiang Yuanliu would be able to adapt to life in Kyoto, once Jiang Yuanliu raised a small family in the poor countryside, he would not dare to bring people back to Kyoto.
So after knowing Jiang Yuanliu's news, he didn't tell the protector, and he was overjoyed.
It's just that Jiang Yuanliu has a deep affection for Jiang Chengli, his adoptive father, and it would not be beautiful to alienate the protector because of this, so he told a small lie.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuanliu was reluctant to return to Beijing.
Jiang Yuanliu shook his head, "I have lived in Hulan County since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to it, even though the capital is prosperous, it is not a place I am familiar with, so you go back and tell the Protector that I am very good in Hulan County." ”
She didn't want to go back to the capital, knowing her life experience, she understood the reason for the poisoning in the afternoon, and she hadn't gone back yet, so exciting, wouldn't she have no bones left when she went to Kyoto!
"Liu'er, don't be willful, Hulan County is not a place to stay for a long time, I have already instructed the housekeeper to count the family property and leave for Beijing in a few days!" Jiang Chengli very much disagreed with Jiang Yuanliu's idea.
Jiang Yuanliu frowned, she held back a glance at Gu Jinshu, it was all at this time, and Gu Jinshu was not ready to confess her identity.
"Okay, everything is up to Daddy." Gu Jinshu snorted coldly, unwilling to deal with Gu Jinshu.
Jiang Chengli and Gu Jinshu came out of the room, and Jiang Chengli asked, "Jinshu, have you had a conflict with Liu'er?" Liu Er is stubborn, but she is pure-hearted, if she does something wrong, you mention her, don't be angry with her. ”
Hearing this, Gu Jinshu was slightly stunned, a little dazed in his heart, and a little bitter that could not be checked, "No, I have a good relationship with Liu'er." ”
