Chapter 49: The Death of My Father

"Okay, I'll help you." Xiao Yu'an listened to Gu Wanchao's words, and he felt that it was very in line with the psychology of an eight-year-old child, because a person is good to himself, he wants to find out what happened to her death.

"Thank you, Xiao Yu'an." Hearing that Xiao Yu'an promised him, Gu Wanchao sincerely thanked him.

It's just that she still feels a little guilty in her heart, she deceived and took advantage of Xiao Yu'an's kindness to her, but she is now a child, and she can't do many things by herself, and Xiao Yu'an is the only one she can think of and help herself.

However, the only condition that Xiao Yu'an put forward, she couldn't do it.

"You don't need to thank me, just take it as a reward for letting me know that only when I am strong can I protect the people around me."

Xiao Yu'an looked at the obvious preoccupation in front of him, and said truthfully.

After the two separated, Gu Wanchao sat in the carriage, and remembered the scene she had just seen, her chest really hurt terribly.

Obviously, her mother in her memory is so gentle and virtuous, even if she was too strict and indifferent to herself after her father left, she always thought that her mother became like that because of her father's sudden departure.

But now everything tells her that what she saw in the past was an illusion. The mother she remembered may also be fake.

"Father, what the hell should I do?" Gu Wanchao muttered.

"Stop." Gu Wanchao suddenly poked his head out and shouted at the housekeeper in front of him.

"Phew." The steward tightened the reins and forced the horse to stop.

"Miss, what's wrong?" The housekeeper looked back at Gu Wanchao, not knowing why she suddenly stopped.

"I suddenly remembered that there was something left in the palace, you send me back to get it."

"Miss, if there is something, wouldn't it be good if Ming'er went to the palace again, if it gets late today, let's go back to the house first."

The housekeeper glanced at Caixia on the horizon, and persuaded Gu Wanchao with some embarrassment.

"No, this thing is very important, we have to go back and get it now." Gu Wanchao insisted on returning to the palace now.

After all, Gu Wanchao was his master, and the housekeeper could only nod obediently and return to the palace gate.

"I'll come out when I find something." Gu Wanchao got out of the carriage, and after saying this, he ran into the palace.

However, Gu Wanchao did not go to the palace, but came to a corner along the palace wall. There was a dog hole in that corner, and Gu Wan looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then he got out of the dog hole.

She was still in the palace, but after she came out of the dog cave, it was a different scene outside.

The place outside the palace wall was overgrown with weeds, and Gu Wanchao trotted along the path with his memory of when he was still Murong Zhao, and after a while, he ran to a spacious avenue.

She looked at the big words "Eldest Princess's Mansion" that suddenly appeared in front of her, she clenched her fists, but did not stop, but went around to the back of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and followed the path all the way to a tomb.

The big characters "The Tomb of the Deceased Husband Murong Jincheng" on the top told Gu Wanchao that this was her father's tomb.

It's just that now the grave is overgrown with weeds, and the front of the tomb is also full of piles of fallen leaves, which obviously looks like no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Gu Wanchao stepped forward and brushed off all the cobwebs and fallen leaves on the tombstone.

"Dad, forgive my daughter for being unfilial, I haven't been able to come to see you for so long." Gu Wanchao stroked the tombstone, tears clouding her vision.

Since her father died of illness, her mother has never allowed her to visit him, saying that it would only add to her sorrow.

So she usually sneaks out of the dog hole in the palace, and then quietly goes around the back mountain to worship her father.

But now it has been more than two years since she died when she was still Murong Zhao, and she hasn't come to see her father for more than two years, if it weren't for the adultery between her mother and that person, she almost forgot that today was her father's sacrifice day.

"This young lady, are you ......" Gu Wanchao was sad, and a man carrying a basket behind her walked up to her and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Gu Wanchao hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

She looked back at the subordinate who spoke up, and recognized this man as her father's former subordinate Li Xiang, and later after her father's death, he left the eldest princess's mansion.

"I'm a friend of Sister Murong Zhao. Come over for her to visit Uncle Murong. ”

Gu Wanchao lied.

"It's rare that someone still remembers Lord Murong, since Lord Murong died, no one has come to worship him, in the past, Miss would sneak over to take a look, but now Miss is gone......"

As he spoke, Li Xiang choked up, raised his hand to sweep away the fallen leaves at the head of the Oubei Bridge, took out the tribute from the basket and put it in front of the tomb.

"Since I'm here to worship the adult for the young lady, girl, burn some paper for the adult." Li Xiang handed the paper money in his hand to Gu Wanchao.

Gu Wanchao stretched out his hand to take it, and while burning, he said in his heart, "Father, if you knew that your mother killed her daughter, would you be sad for your daughter?" People say that tigers don't eat their children, but their mother can do it. ”

"At that time, the adult was a civil official, and he was also kind to him on weekdays, and he always put the people first, about when the young lady was six years old, the adult suddenly became seriously ill, and his body and bones were getting worse, but he lasted for a few months, and he went like this, and people said that the death of the adult was jealous of the talent, but I always felt that the death of the adult was strange."

Li Xiang suddenly talked about the events of that year.

"Later, I left the Eldest Princess's Mansion and wanted to find out how the adult died, but I was not capable enough, my lord, it was Li Xiang who was incompetent."

Li Xiang's emotions suddenly went out of control, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Wanchao looked at Li Xiang, who still remembered her father after so many years, and her nose was sour all of a sudden.

"Uncle, you just said that Uncle Murong died strangely?"

"Isn't that just, a good man. How could it be that you suddenly became seriously ill? In the days when the adult was sick in bed, I watched him get worse day by day, but the symptoms were like illness, and it was clearly like being poisoned. ”

Li Xiang wiped a handful of tears, and when he talked about Murong Jinhui's death, he was uncomfortable and indignant.

Hearing this, Gu Wanchao suddenly sat on the ground.

In the past, she only knew that her father died of illness, but she never knew that there were many strange reasons about her father's death.

"Uncle, are you sure that Uncle Murong's condition back then was more like poisoning? Could it be an emergency? ”

Even now, she still expects that what Li Xiang said is false, and she is still unwilling to associate her father's death with Li Yu.

"When the adult died, even the lips were not purple and black, isn't this poisoning?"

Li Xiang's words completely made her accept the reality, and she looked at the word "deceased husband" on the tombstone, and felt a little ironic for a while.
