Chapter 1188: Confession

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan hurriedly left the school with the two little kids.

They went to Dongyi Academy to fetch the Niu Dan brothers before rushing back to Yongfu Village.

As expected, the moment she entered the village, she saw Gu Xiaoxi’s newly built house with the word ‘Happiness’ pasted in red. There were also red lanterns hanging in front of the door. The entire house gave off a happy vibe.

It was the same for the Gu family. Tomorrow was the big day so there were busy people everywhere.

Eldest Aunt Gu stood at the door and gave instructions. “Why isn’t there a red cloth covering the wine jar? Shuitao, is the red cloth with you? And that chair, who’s in charge of the red cushions? Oh my, my memory, I…aEUR

As she spoke, she turned around and saw Gu Yundong and the others. She was elated and ran over.

“Yundong, Qingyuan, are you finally back?”

“Eldest Aunt.” Gu Yundong alighted the carriage. “Sorry to make you worry.”

“Of course I was worried? If Qingyuan didn’t say that you were busy with business, your uncle wouldn’t have the heart to get married.” Eldest Aunt Gu patted her. “Oh right, your father came back yesterday too. He’s inside.”

They walked in as they spoke.

As expected, Gu Dajiang was standing in the central room. He was looking at a list in his hand, but he was frowning.

He raised his head abruptly when he heard the commotion. The worry in his eyes subsided a little when he saw Gu Yundong.

After a pause, he said to Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan, “Follow me.”

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan exchanged glances with each other and followed Gu Dajiang into the study.

“Tell me, what happened?” The moment the door closed, Gu Dajiang raised his head and looked at them with a stern expression. “I asked Shuitao, and she said that you followed a middle-aged man and never came back. I went to look for Master Qin later, and he said that you were helping him on a task and it’s nothing serious. What’s the matter?”

Gu Yundong was stunned. Gu Dajiang had just reached home yesterday afternoon. The moment he came back, he asked Tong Shuitao and then he went to look for Qin Wenzheng again. He must be extremely anxious.

However, Qin Wenzheng didn’t tell them about this. He didn’t know where she went either. He probably told Gu Dajiang a lie to comfort him.

He must have sent someone to look for her and Brother Shao.

Gu Yundong felt warm in her heart.

She walked to Gu Dajiang’s side and held his arm. She smiled and said, “Dad, you’re the best.”

Gu Dajiang couldn’t maintain the stern expression on his face anymore. He pushed her head and said, “Tell me quickly.”

Gu Yundong coughed lightly. She didn’t plan to hide it from Gu Dajiang.

Her father was going to take the imperial exam. This was something he should know. The things he met in the future might be even more troublesome and serious. He should be mentally prepared.

What’s more, after these two years of experience, his father was no longer the ordinary villager who was suppressed by Leader Gu and the others in the Gu village.

Thus, she told him the entire story of the Tao and Zhang families. Gu Dajiang was stunned when he heard it.

This was such a serious matter?

He didn’t know what to say for a long time. After some time, he finally digested all the information. He patted Gu Yundong’s shoulder and said, “You did well. This kind of treasonous and rebellious person who tried to destroy the peace of our country should be eradicated as soon as possible.” He paused for a moment before frowning. “However, Qingyuan is right. You can’t take the risk alone the next time something like this happens.”
