Chapter 1824 Aftermath

The assassination of Qingshu was not a secret, and it was soon spread. Because the time was too coincidental, many people speculated that this storm was caused by her.

After hearing this rumor, Qingshu suddenly felt a headache.

Hong Gu said strangely: "Madam, this matter outweighs the disadvantages, so that the officials in the court will know that you have such a heavy position in the hearts of the emperor and the empress, they will never dare to look down on you."

"Even if it wasn't for this incident, they wouldn't dare to look down on me, but now they're in big trouble."

"What trouble?"

At this moment, Bajiao said outside, "Madam, the old lady is here."

Qingshu couldn't help but rub his temples, and trouble came.

Mrs. Gu didn't even let her help her walk in. When she saw Qingshu, she asked, "I heard that you were assassinated. Is this true?"

"It's true."

Mrs. Gu walked up to Qingshu, held her hand tightly and asked, "How is it hurt?"

"No, the assassin's methods are too clumsy and I have identified them."

Confirm that she was not injured, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but curse: "How can you hide such a big thing from me? No matter what, you hide it from me."

Gu Xian interrupted, "If we hadn't heard it outside, we wouldn't know."

Qingshu looked at her and said with a cold face: "Have I ever said you are not allowed to enter the door without my consent? Why, is it a fart for me?"

Gu Xian's face was flushed red.

Mrs. Gu frowned and said, "Qingshu, how could you speak to your mother like this? She was also worried about you, so she hurriedly rushed over with me."

In the past, I always felt wronged for Mrs. Gu, but now she doesn't. Qingshu looked at Gu Xian and said indifferently: "Worry about me? When I went to Jinling at the age of six, when were you? When I went to the Cui family in the capital at the age of nine, it was not good for me several times. Where were you then? Later, because of my appearance, King Qin sent people to kidnap me twice. What were you doing at that time? And Qingluan, when she was bullied by someone, she was a wild child. Where were you?"

"When Qingluan and I need you the most, you have no time to take care of us for other men and children. Now I have the ability to protect myself and you run away and worry about me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Gu Xian said, "Qingshu, you didn't tell me all this."

Qingshu said disdainfully: "Tell you what to do, so that you think I attract butterflies? If you stay in the Gu family peacefully, I don't care how long you want to stay in the capital. But if you insist on running to me from time to time to disgust me, then no one can think of it."

Mrs. Gu covered her chest and said, "Qingshu, why have you never told me these things?"

Qingshu was actually very angry with Mrs. Gu. If she hadn't indulged Gu Xian without any principles, how could she have the courage to run to her?

So, this time she couldn't bear it and asked, "Grandma, what's the use of telling you this? You will only let me drop out of school and go to Fuzhou with you, but I won't drop out of school, and I won't go to Fuzhou. I don't want to be the fish that can be slaughtered by people on the chopping board."

Seeing her face turned gray, Qingshu sighed, slowed down and said, "Grandma, I'm really fine. I did have a hard time with Jingen a few years ago, but now we have enough ability to protect ourselves. So, you don't have to worry about us."

"Grandma, I have something to deal with. You can go back first! When I have time, I will take Fu'er and Yaoyao to see you."

Speaking of the two children, Mrs. Gu said, "Qingshu, Mr. Fu will go to Pingzhou in a few days, and no one will take Yaoyao. Qingshu, I will bring you Yaoyao in the past two days."

Qingshu didn't agree, but she also explained the reason: "Not yet. Yaoyao's eating is not restrained. I am setting rules for her now."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, I will wait until she corrects this bad habit."

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Okay, wait until Yaoyao corrects her bad habits before moving them over."

Qingshu did not object, but said, "You can only move here alone."

Gu Xian looked gloomy.

After leaving the Fu family, Mrs. Gu saw Gu Xian hanging her head and said in a depressed look: "Axian, you'd better go back to Jinling!"

Gu Xian looked up at her.

Mrs. Gu said, "Axian, Lord Guan is a good child. Although you were a little cold to him before, he was still filial to you as always. Axian, you have already hurt Qingshu and Qingluan's hearts, so don't hurt the child's heart again."

Gu Xian understood: "Mom..."

"Qingshu cannot forgive you, just let your heart die! Instead of fighting to the death with Qingshu, it is better to cherish what you have in front of you. Otherwise, if you continue like this, not only will Qingshu hate you more and more, but even Shaozhou will be disgusted with you."

Holding Gu Xian's hand, Mrs. Gu burst into tears: "Axian, just listen to whether your mother is good this time, just beg you."

After hearing what you said just now, she no longer had the shame to ask Qingshu to forgive Gu Xian because even her grandmother was very incompetent.

Gu Xian lowered her head and said, "But I can't bear to leave Fu'er and Yaoyao."

In order to make her give up, Mrs. Gu said, "Fu'er's temperament is exactly the same as his father. I don't like you now. When he knows that everything you did to Qingshu back then will only hate you even more. Axian, if you don't want to listen to your mother's words for the rest of your life, otherwise my mother will be uneasy to close her eyes."

Gu Xian said with red eyes: "Mom, then you go back to Jinling with me. Qingshu is so busy. She has no time to take care of you at all. I don't feel at ease to leave you in the capital."

Mrs. Gu said, "I am going to return to Taifeng County after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Then I will go back to Taifeng County with you. Mom, I have been worrying about you over the years because I am unfilial, so I will make up for it in the future."

Mrs. Gu sighed and said, "Well, when the weather is cooler, we will go back to Jinling. When you discuss with Shaozhou, you will accompany me to Taifeng County."

Gu Xian nodded and said, "Before going back, let Qingshu take Fu'er and Yaoyao to the house, so that I can see my two children for the last time!"

Mrs. Gu nodded and agreed.

The evidence of Wu Shuchen's case was conclusive, so the result was soon revealed, and his home was confiscated and exiled. However, it was unexpected that when Feiyuwei confiscated their home, he only found more than 30,000 gold and silver, and not many valuable items such as gold, silver and jewelry, shops and fields.

Qingshu got news on the second day after the case was sentenced that Wu Shuchen died of illness in prison.

Qingshu was a little disbelief, and when he saw Yi An, he asked, "Has he really died of illness?"

"He died of illness. After the case was sentenced, he vomited blood and wrote a memorial to apologize in one breath."

Although Qingshu hated the Wu family, he heard that Wu Shuchen's ending was not only unhappy, but his heart was heavy.

Yi An keenly felt that she was in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that things in the world are impermanent."

"Who said no? The emperor is the most generous, but no matter how generous he is, he cannot tolerate a minister with two hearts. When he saw his apology, the emperor issued an oral order to pardon the female members of the Wu family for their guilt and allowed them to help their spirits and return home."

Qingshu smiled and said, "The emperor is kind and generous, and it is a blessing for us to be ministers."
