No matter how strong the hatred in Wanning's heart is, when she sees Gao Ziang's tears, she will still be soft-hearted, so she will not refuse and avoid intimacy with him.

She pulled out her handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

Gao Ziang felt that Wanning at this time was very precious, and only said, "Thank you, Wanning." ”

"Why don't I want to be in love with you, without any barriers? However, that doesn't mean I think your father is innocent. Wan Ning said resolutely.

Gao Ziang understands Wanning's mood and won't blame her. Although she didn't figure it out, she spoke out the doubts in her heart. This just shows that Wanning regards herself as the closest person. He thinks that his father is not enough to kill Uncle Li, but it is also true that he has done something sorry for the Li family.

Wan Ning said that once it was confirmed that her father planned to poison Uncle Li, she would never forgive the Gao family. Hearing this, he seemed to be even more excited than Wan Ning, who was burdened with hatred.

That night, he stayed in Wanning's room until Hai and then remembered to return to Gaofu. As before, he stayed until Wanning fell asleep. Wan Ning knew that he had also spent a lot of effort tonight, so she persuaded him to go home early to rest.

But he really didn't want to go, or even dared to go, as if as soon as he left, Wanning was going to leave him.

Gao Ziang and Yi'er returned to Gaofu, and when they were about to walk to the door, they saw a stranger coming out, and the two slowed down. The man did not seem to see them, and quickly turned on his horse, as if to hurry.

After the man rode away, Gao Ziang turned his head and said to Yi'er, "It seems that there have been a lot of strangers recently. ”

Yi'er pondered for a moment and said, "Eighty percent of them are here to ask for officials. ”

"Yi'er, you also found out?"

"Young master, the little one doesn't understand anything, maybe it's just a normal exchange."

In Su Ri, whenever an official came to the house, his father would ask him to see him. At this time, Gao Ziang thought that there must be something wrong with his father not asking him to see these officials.

It's been this hour, and his father didn't even leave him to rest in the house, and he insisted on hurrying, sneaky, and it was not a thing that could see the light.

Gao Ziang felt that his father was very busy, probably because of the accumulation of money.

This night, Gao Ziang, who was asleep in his bed, was quite unquiet in his heart, and he felt that Wanning was far away from him. This scared him very much.

Although Gao Ziang insisted that his father would not kill him for money, and tried his best to protect his father in front of Wanning, he was still a little weak-hearted.

The property matter can still be remedied, but if his father really poisons Uncle Li's life, Wan Ning will not forgive herself, let alone marry her. Thinking of this, his heart is not to mention how depressed he is.

The next thing he had to do was to make sure that Zuo Linghong did not poison Uncle Li according to his father's instructions, but he did it alone, so he was more confident in front of Wanning.

It's better to ask your father directly and see what he has to say.

At noon the next day, Gao Ziang absentmindedly had lunch.

After having lunch, Gao Junming rested in the bedroom, and then came to the study, but saw that Gao Ziang was already waiting in the study.

Seeing his father's Gao Ziang, he knelt down with a "plop".

Gao Junming saw him, although he was shocked, he didn't say anything. I was not surprised, I sat on the chair and was silent for a while, and then I looked at him again, a little helpless: "What's the matter with you?" Don't tell me, it's because of Wanning again? ”

"Knowing the son is better than the father", in the end, it is the father, or with a little tacit understanding between the father and son, you can understand what he is thinking. Gao Ziang had no choice but to ask boldly: "Father, are you the mastermind who killed Uncle Li?" ”

When Gao Junming heard this, he suddenly got up and looked at him, and said angrily: "It's really for Wanning, and you will also detain such a big sin on your father's head!" You have questioned your father for a woman, and you have been disrespectful to your father! How did I raise you with such a thing that eats inside and out! ”

"Father, it is precisely because of your blessing that some people have the courage to attack the officials of the imperial court. There are also the emperor's holy decrees, from Uncle Li's demotion to the final raid, are you really not involved at all? Otherwise, how could the emperor be so unclear? Uncle Li is not guilty, he should not be demoted, let alone die, and the Li family should not be raided. ”

Gao Junming's low and slow voice contained sternness: "You are disrespectful to your father and disloyal to the emperor for the sake of a woman?" ”

Gao Zi raised his head: "My son is not for a woman. Although the king is respectful, white is black, and the minister cannot listen; Although the Father is dear, black is white, and the Son cannot obey! ”

When he said this, he knew that he was more than lucky, and his father had already been enraged. But he still complained about Li Zhenghang, and at the same time really cherished Wanning and hated fate for being unfair to her.

"That's a long job!" Gao Junming sighed.

He paced a few steps and reprimanded, "I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!" You know what black and white! And you actually lost the lives of two of your subordinates for the sake of Li Wanning, and you didn't dare to tell me afterwards. If it weren't for their parents, you would have wanted to hide it from me! Do you think you'll be able to seal your mouth by giving that little bit of silver? It seems that if I don't teach you today, I will have to see you ruined at the hands of women. ”

Gao Junming glanced outside the house and shouted, "Someone! On the family law! ”

Seeing that the old man was so angry, the subordinates outside the door did not dare to delay or delay in the slightest, and set up the torture instruments as quickly as possible. He helped the young master up and made him lie on the bench.

The executioner took the stick and hit Gao Ziang painlessly. Gao Junming, who was sitting on the chair, became more and more popular the more he looked at it. I had to get up by myself: "You haven't eaten, give me the stick!" ”

Gao Junming snatched the stick and hit it hard. "A bastard with no king and no father in his heart!"

Gao Ziang, who was still enduring the pain just now, couldn't hold back anymore this time, and a deep and rough voice came out of his throat.

The subordinates around him saw that this was an opportunity to report to Madame, and he glanced at the little servant who was standing at the door. The little guy immediately turned around and walked away, intending to go to the upper room. As soon as he turned the corner, he met Xie Xiwen's personal maid Jin'er, and he stopped him and said, "Jin'er, go and inform Madame, the master is beating the young master!" Then, he whispered a few words in Jin'er's ear.

Jin'er trotted all the way to Xie Xiwen's bedroom, and saw the master who had just taken a nap sitting quietly at the round table, as if he had just drunk a few sips of tea. The panicked Jin'er knelt down in front of Xie Xiwen: "Madam, go and save the young master, the master is beating the young master!" ”

Xie Xiwen suddenly became energetic and asked eagerly: "Because of what?" ”

"The old man said, 'No king and no father', which is probably not a trivial matter. Go check it out. ”
