Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 89 Investigation
Gu Zhao's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

"If I go by what you said, it is possible." Gu Zhao thought for a while: "But I feel that if it is just Liang Yuqi, it is not worth spending so much effort."

In the last life, the eldest prince wooed Liang Yuqi not only to let him make a knife, but also for the Lin family's industry.

In this life, Liang Yuqi really had nothing to plot.

"Could it be... some reason that we can't think of?"

The atmosphere became somewhat silent.

Gu Zhao smiled, broke the silence, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, even if he follows the eldest prince, so what? Now, they can't do anything to me."

Gu Zhaocai said such big words just to comfort Lin Miaofu. He had been taught since he was a child not to speak too fullly and to leave room for himself.

"But what if... what if the eldest prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor?"

"what?"

Gu Zhao was startled by Lin Miaofu's words. He looked around and saw that several maids were standing in the corridor. They probably didn't hear what Lin Miaofu said.

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

Lin Miaofu said calmly: "I'm just worried. If this matter is really his fault, it shows how deep his scheming is... Moreover, when a prince ascends the throne, he will not only look at the legitimate concubines, but also the elders and children..."

"Ordinary families can turn against each other in order to fight for family property, let alone the position of emperor..."

Gu Zhao was a little silent when he heard it. He was also an experiencer, so he naturally understood what Lin Miaofu meant.

In this world, there are not only brothers fighting each other, but also father and son fighting each other.

He originally thought that there were never any secret affairs in his family, but now he can only say that he is too young to see things clearly.

Lin Miaofu didn't seem to notice Gu Zhao's expression, and said to herself: "My father was deeply hurt by my grandfather. When my mother was pregnant with me, he didn't want me. He was worried that it would be a son, and there would be another fratricidal war in the family. scene."

"But my mother forced her to die and gave birth to me." Lin Miaofu's eyes were slightly moist, but there was still a smile on her face.

"After knowing that I was a daughter, my father breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt very guilty about me, so he thought of letting me marry into a prominent family to make up for it."

Speaking of this, Lin Miaofu couldn't help but smile: "It's a pity that after careful selection, I still chose a wealthy wolf."

Gu Zhao listened quietly without saying much.

Lin Miaofu was immersed in memories. After a while, she seemed to remember that the topic had somehow deviated from the original track, and said hurriedly: "Sorry... I seem to have digressed."

"I like to hear it." Gu Zhao didn't say anything else, he just expressed his most intuitive feelings. He wanted to understand her.

But I have to respect her and not investigate her past.

He had been waiting for Lin Miaofu to tell her story personally.

Fortunately, his waiting is not completely meaningless. He will know the past things little by little, and he will face the future things together with her.

Lin Miaofu was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red, like the morning glow on the horizon, which was really cute.

"I'll tell you about the past things later. Let's talk about business. What are you going to do about the Liang Mansion?"

"Let's check first. There are always traces to follow." Gu Zhao looked at Lin Miaofu and suddenly thought of that time she was kidnapped inexplicably.

At that time, he and Mr. Xie discussed this matter and felt that someone was deliberately trying to sow discord between him and the prince.

What if this is just one of the reasons?

Perhaps, he also wants to test his feelings for Lin Miaofu...

According to their position, the Gu family are pure ministers who are only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and will never form cliques for personal gain.

The eldest prince and the prince are opposites.

He broke up with the prince, and it was also the eldest prince who was proud. I despise Lin Miaofu, but Liang Yuqi is proud of her.

If Liang Yuqi is really related to the eldest prince... I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the eldest prince.

Turning the rosary beads in his hand, Gu Zhao thought for a while and expressed his guess.

Lin Miaofu thinks it is very possible.

As for why he didn't kill himself, there is another explanation. Once he dies, the matter must be reported to the emperor.

The people behind the scenes didn't want to alarm the emperor, so they spared themselves.

"It seems I have to check it out carefully." Gu Zhao had a cautious look in his eyes.

"Even if you want to investigate, you must not do it yourself, lest you get involved."

In fact, Lin Miaofu was still worried that she could not change Gu Zhao's fate.

"Actually, it's okay not to investigate... Just be wary of them and let them fight with each other. We don't want to get involved."

Lin Miaofu said with a frown.

Although the skill of Conglong is good, Gu Zhao does not need it. With his ability, no matter who ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will have a place.

The corners of Gu Zhao's mouth curled up slightly.

He liked hearing Lin Miaofu say "we" very much. Even though he knew that Lin Miaofu didn't mean anything else, it still made him feel happy.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Gu Zhao cleared his throat and said, "Leave the affairs of the inner house to you...Leave the affairs of the outer courtyard to me...The male protagonist Wai Lin Miaofu has a clear division of labor."

Seeing him like this, Lin Miaofu suddenly stopped worrying. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Since you know what's going on, that's fine, I won't worry about you too much."

He looked at the sky again and said, "Second uncle and his family are still guests at my house. Why don't you go back early?"

"Since it's almost noon, why don't you leave me to eat?"

Gu Zhao's words were only out of curiosity, but not angry.

Lin Miaofu muttered for a long time and said: "He is related to me by blood and is my father's brother. It doesn't matter if I call him uncle. It's what I should do, but you have nothing to do with him. Why should I hold the junior ceremony in front of him? And respect him as an elder? "

"You don't want me to recognize him?"

"Why should you recognize him?" Lin Miaofu snorted coldly: "Why do you think he came here at this time?"

"First of all, he came to show off that his son is expected to take the imperial examination and become an official. He came to my house to show off his power."

"Secondly, it's because I want to marry you and they want to be related to you."

"Since I know all this, who am I to let them get what they want?"

"Okay, since you don't like them, then deny them."

Gu Zhao's tone was very gentle, as if he would do whatever Lin Miaofu said.

Lin Miaofu's heart skipped a few beats inexplicably, and she always felt unreal.

Let her have the illusion that she is being carefully cared for.

"Did I just...be particularly unreasonable?" Lin Miaofu looked into Gu Zhao's eyes with some caution.

"Do you think it's too much for me to do that? After all, they are also relatives and elders..."

"No." Gu Zhao said: "Since I am the one asking you to marry me, I will naturally protect you and make you happy...all the people and things that make you unhappy can be left to me to deal with."
