Chapter 70: The Past

Sun Yanbo coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said: "Gu Yu, this time Xiaoman is thanks to your help, otherwise, with Xiaoman's temperament, let alone let her go home, even if she is difficult to see me." ”

Gu Yu's face softened slightly, and he was noncommittal to his words, "I'm not all about helping you, if it weren't for my aunt's trouble this time, I would never let Xiaoman follow you back so easily." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Sun Yanbo's face, this descendant, he really didn't show mercy at all, although the whole thing was indeed missed by him, but it didn't need to be said so bluntly.

"Yes, no one thought that the eldest princess would have an accident, and the eldest princess disappeared before, and fortunately you informed me here, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen again in the palace not long ago."

"Is there an investigation into who did it?" Gu Yu asked, the eldest princess was poisoned in the palace, this is not a trivial matter, it must have been done by someone in the palace, although he already has a suspicion in his heart, but now that the evidence is insufficient, it is not easy for him to make a decision.

Thinking of this, Sun Yanbo had a headache, the maid involved had already killed herself by biting her tongue, but she couldn't find any clues, and the emperor was particularly furious when he learned about the eldest princess, and ordered a thorough investigation of the murderer, and the poison in the eldest princess was relatively rare, and the imperial doctors were all helpless, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come directly to Gu Yu for help, and he was dressed so hidden.

"No, just because no clues were found, there is chaos in the palace now." The individual was panicked and frightened, for fear that the emperor would be angry with him.

"Gu Yu, why don't you go back and help—"

As soon as Sun Yanbo's proposal was finished, Gu Yu was interrupted, "Old General Sun, I am only the Pavilion Master of the Phoenix Immortal Pavilion now, and I have nothing to do with anyone else, especially the one in the palace. ”

Looking at Gu Yu's resolute eyes, Sun Yanbo was also very helpless, why should the grievances of the previous life be derived from the juniors, but it is a pity that such an outstanding talent, if it is used by the court, it will definitely make a great difference.

"Well, since you have said so, I am not good at making it difficult for others, I only hope that through this homecoming, Xiaoman can have a better impression of us, and I also hope that she can recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors as soon as possible, so that I will be worthy of her father." seemed to think of the old man, his eyes were moist, Sun Yanbo turned his face, not wanting the juniors to see this side of him and make jokes.

Gu Yu didn't say much, General Sun Lao, as a member of the court, although he is old, but his prestige is still there, when he was young, he led his subordinates to guard the frontier for the emperor, fight against thieves, and make great contributions to the court, all say that it is difficult for Qing officials to break family affairs, not to mention a military attaché, General Sun Lao has a love for Sun Hao, the Sun family has practiced martial arts for generations, but unfortunately Sun Hao only loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and does not like to fight and kill, Sun Lao General hates iron and steel, once tied Sun Hao to the battlefield, but he saved the enemy's daughter, and the woman also fell in love with Sun Hao at first sight, The two quickly fell in love for life, General Sun Lao was furious when he knew, and wanted to tie up the woman to force the other party to surrender, and Sun Hao secretly let go of the woman that night, and eloped with the woman, and then there was no news, and it caused a sensation in the government and the opposition at that time, which became a shame for General Sun Lao for a lifetime.

I didn't think that two years later, the woman fell at the door of the Sun Mansion with the baby in swaddling clothes, the woman was terminally ill, and then General Sun Lao learned that Sun Hao had been unfortunately killed three months ago, thinking that all this was caused by the woman, after the woman passed away, she also ignored the baby, and in the last breath, she actually sent the baby to Jingshan, the baby is now Xiaoman, maybe the old General Sun now feels repentant, so he inquired about the place where Xiaoman is, and now wants Xiaoman to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but Xiaoman has remembered, I don't recognize him as a grandfather at all, although he reconciles the relationship between the two in the middle, but the effect is not good.

"General Sun, you go back first, and I will send someone to send Xiaoman back to his house later." Gu Yu proposed, thinking of Xiaoman's state just now, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Sun Yanbo bowed his head, it seems that he can only do this, if there is no Gu Yu as a lobbyist in the middle, probably he will not think that his granddaughter can go home once.

Ling's small room.

As soon as she returned to the room, Ling Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, squinting her eyes and preparing to rest, but her mind always appeared about today's events in the gambling house, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, and after a moment of entanglement, she still decided to go to Moying first and check on the person named Ah Qiang.

She made up her mind and was about to find someone, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw a crying Xiaoman pounced on her.

Since she met Xiao Man, Xiao Man has always been a cheerful and lively girl, and she has never seen her so sad, which can frighten Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Ling Xiaoxiao asked, why did she go to the study happily just now, and after a while, she turned into tears and ran back.

Xiao Man hugged her neck and cried loudly.

As soon as her mind turned, Ling Xiaoxiao immediately asked: "Could it be that the pavilion master bullied you, isn't it, I'll go for you-" Speaking of this, she automatically stopped talking, even if the pavilion master bullied people, she didn't seem to be able to stand up for her, she was still under the roof of others.

Fortunately, Xiao Man, who was sad, didn't notice this, but cried even louder when he heard Ling Xiaoxiao mention the pavilion master.

Sure enough, this time Ling Xiaoxiao confirmed her guess, but then she was a little worried, how to comfort Xiaoman.

Gently patting Xiao Man's back, Ling Xiaoxiao comforted: "Xiao Man, don't be too sad, the pavilion master may also be kind, you see that the pavilion master is usually so good to you, how can he bully you, you must be thinking too much." ”

Xiao Man sobbed and replied, "But he spoke for that man, and he didn't stand on my side." "That guy used to treat her dad like that, and she hated him.

Ling Xiaoxiao didn't understand who the person in Xiao Man's mouth was, but she didn't ask any further, just continued: "Think about it, you and the pavilion master are your own people, and outsiders are present, you have to take into account the pavilion master's position, and the pavilion master can't embarrass the guests, right?" ”

Maybe it was the outsider in Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth who pleased Xiao Man, Xiao Man smacked twice, and then withdrew from Ling Xiaoxiao's arms, with suspicion on his face: "Is it really because of the presence of outsiders?" ”

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, at this time she didn't dare to say no, looking at the tears swirling in the girl's eyes, Ling Xiaoxiao felt distressed for a while, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped Xiaoman's face clean.

"Look at you, you're about to cry like a little cat, just an outsider, don't be so sad."
