Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 179 After the Benefactor
Looking at Li Chongyang, Gu Sixiao's eyes were mixed, with gratitude and guilt at the same time. No matter what it was, the eyes made Li Chongyang feel that Gu Sixiao had really changed his mind about him.

"I always thought that I was the illegitimate daughter of my father, and I felt very inferior. But yesterday, I found out that I was not Xue Wen's illegitimate daughter at all. I was the daughter of an old man many years ago..."

When Li Chongyang heard this, he felt a "thump" in his heart.

ah!Did she know that too? !
I was shocked, but didn't make a sound, but looked at Gu Sixiao, waiting for her to continue.

"Before this, I also heard about my brother-in-law's life experience, but I never paid attention to it at that time. I even made fun of my brother-in-law because of this. Thinking about it now, I am really ashamed. It was obviously face-to-face, but I didn't know that my brother-in-law was actually the queen of the benefactor. I have been targeting you and embarrassing you all the time. Now that I think about it, it is really too much. If my biological parents know that I have treated you like this, they will definitely be angry with me and blame me for revenge."

Gu Sixiao wiped her tears, feeling really ashamed, "Brother-in-law, don't hate me, I really didn't know before..."

"How could it be?" Li Chongyang smiled gently, and patted Gu Sixiao's shoulder reassuringly, "I didn't know before that you were General Li, but now that I think about it, I would treat you badly. If my parents Knowing that the child they protect with their lives actually makes me so contemptuous, I'm afraid I'm also to blame..."

Hearing this, Gu Sixiao's tears flowed even more fiercely, "It's all my fault, it's my fault..."

"Silly sister, don't cry. At last, the matter is over. From now on, you and I will respect and help each other, and it will be fine. We must let the spirits of the elders in the sky comfort us..."

Smiling to appease Gu Sixiao, Li Chongyang is gentle and kind, really like a good brother.

Gu Sixiao nodded repeatedly, with a weak expression, but secretly sneered in her heart.

Li Chongyang, whether you really don't know anything about it or not, this news is thrown out today to ask you to relax your vigilance.

If you want to take it, you must give it first, Li Chongyang, what you want most, I will take it away.

Gu Sixiao had thought about it a long time ago, with Mrs. Xue's scheming, she would never let Li Chongyang take power as soon as she said it.

But now that Li Chongyang was released, it would be bad if the old lady didn't express anything, so the best way is to let the two of them take care of the Xue family's business together.

This time, she had already dug a hole and was waiting for Li Chongyang to jump in by herself.

Saying goodbye to Li Chongyang, Gu Sixiao transferred to Xue Wen's courtyard.

Aunt Yun was taking care of her seriously ill in bed.

This gentle woman, seemingly inconspicuous in the Xue family, although she is in charge of the affairs of the backyard, she is never the one who decides in the end.

But Gu Sixiao knew that if Aunt Yun was missing, the Xue family would really collapse in half.

Seeing Gu Sixiao coming in, Aunt Yun went out with an excuse.

Although Gu Sixiao didn't express it, she was as smart as Aunt Yun, so she naturally knew that the two father and daughter had something to say.

"Send your sister away?" Xue Wen asked in a low voice, turning his head, two lines of tears fell on the pillow.

If Mrs. Xue hadn't come to stop her in person, he would have personally sent Xue Wanhua off.

Looking at Xue Wen's expression, Gu Sixiao also felt sad, "Daddy, has Aunt Yun already told you?"

"say what?"

She knew that Aunt Yun would not talk about Li Chongyang.

Gu Sixiao took a deep breath, held Xue Wen's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Daddy, you have to trust me—no matter what you hear, keep calm and don't get angry."

Raising his eyebrows, Xue Wen looked at her, "You said—"

Pursing her lips, Gu Sixiao said in a low voice: "Li Chongyang was released."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Wen had already pulled his hand violently, his expression becoming agitated.

Holding Xue Wen's hand tightly, Gu Sixiao shouted anxiously: "Daddy, you said you believed me—you believe me!"

Because of Gu Sixiao's reassurance, Xue Wen panted and gradually calmed down, "Why? He killed Wanhua, and he will be released?! How does the Yamen do things?"

"Daddy, listen to me..." Focusing on the key points, he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

While talking, Gu Sixiao kept observing Xue Wen's expression, holding the medicine bottle Su Jingchun gave her in his hand, and would feed it immediately when Xue Wen's complexion was slightly wrong.

Fortunately, although Xue Wen was excited, he didn't faint like last time.Even at the end, his expression calmed down.

"What a Li Chongyang, to be so scheming—good! The government doesn't care. Even if he can't be brought to justice, I will make him pay for my daughter and son-in-law."

"Daddy," Gu Sixiao buried her face in Xue Wen's palm, and said in a hoarse voice, "Trust me! I will never let Li Chongyang go! I will let her pay for her sister's life!"

After falling silent, Xue Wen stared at Gu Sixiao for a long while before whispering: "Hua'er, there are some things you don't know..."

"I know everything! Daddy, I don't care who I was before, but now I'm just your daughter."

Closing his eyes, Xue Wen was both excited and emotional, gently stroking Gu Sixiao's hair, and said in a low voice: "You shouldn't have cared about these things, you were supposed to get married in the summer, but now it's like this ..."

"I've already told Jing Chun," Gu Sixiao looked up and smiled, "Jing Chun will help me, Daddy, you don't have to worry about me, really, you just need to take good care of your body and wait to see if the wicked do evil. Just report it."

Xue Wen nodded, but sighed after a while, "Your third sister—that's all, don't pay attention to her."

Although he felt sorry for his daughter and didn't want her to lose her husband, nor did she want her granddaughter to have no father, but thinking of the dead daughter, son-in-law, and the future of Xue's family, Xue Wen also made up his mind.

With his backhand, he took out a key from his body and put it in Gu Sixiao's palm. "Go to Manager Zhang, this key is everything in the Xue family. Before, this key was kept by your second sister, but now, it is kept by you."

"How does this happen?" Gu Sixiao was startled, and hurriedly stuffed the key into Xue Wen's hand again.

Xue Wen shook his head, turned his head to the side, and ignored Gu Sixiao.

Helpless, Gu Sixiao had no choice but to leave with the key.

It was a brass key, which seemed to be an ordinary key, except that it was heavier and had more serrations, other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.

I don't know what kind of warehouse key this is.

Curious in her heart, Gu Sixiao thought about it and decided to go to Zhang Guanshi.

Seeing Gu Sixiao showing the key suddenly, Guanshi Zhang was taken aback.

He stared fixedly at Gu Sixiao for a long time before he got up to salute.

She has been helping in Jinlou for a long time, and Manager Zhang has never paid her such a big gift.

Gu Sixiao was taken aback, and hurriedly moved away.

"Guan Zhang, don't be so polite, I can't stand it."

"Affordable!" Manager Zhang said solemnly, "Since the boss has given you all the keys, then you are representing the boss."

Looking at Gu Sixiao, Guanshi Zhang was very emotional.

There is a sentence that he didn't say.This key has been passed down for several generations, and whoever gets the key will be the next generation head of the Xue family.

Their Zhang family has been the treasurer of the Xue family for generations.Earlier, there was also Zhang Zhang who was in charge of his own business, but in his generation, he can only be the steward of the Golden Building.

But even so, the old club and the young club have always treated him kindly.

Just because, similarly, another key has also been passed down in the Zhang family for several generations.

The Zhang family may not be so shrewd and capable, but they are absolutely loyal.

Leading Gu Sixiao all the way around, passing through the workshop behind, entering a small door, and turning into another dwelling.

Before that, Gu Sixiao didn't even know that there was another door to enter this residential house.She didn't even know that this residence also belonged to Xue's family.

"Here is the treasury of the Xue family!"

When they stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary study room, Gu Sixiao was really surprised.

this room? !It doesn't look like a vault at all!

Ignoring what she thought, Manager Zhang pushed open the door and led Gu Sixiao in.

After entering the door, it turned out to be an ordinary study room, but manager Zhang reminded him that Gu Sixiao also felt that there must be some mechanism here.

Sure enough, after Guanshi Zhang opened the mechanism, a door was cracked in the wall. When he entered the door, it was a cloud ladder. When he went down the ladder, he entered an underground warehouse.

The surroundings are made of copper, and the copper door is so thick that it is daunting.

"Please borrow the key, my lady."

Guanshi Zhang reached out, took the key from Gu Sixiao, and untied one of the large bunch of keys from his waist.

The two keys were put together, and it was a new key. Steward Zhang inserted the key into the lock, and only heard a slight sound, and the solid copper door opened automatically.

"Please, lady." Steward Zhang separated the key and returned that one to Gu Sixiao before inviting her in.

"this way please."

After walking only a few meters, there was another copper door in front of it. Although it was not as thick as the previous door, it was still very strong.

Signaling Gu Sixiao to come forward and open the door with the key, Manager Zhang took a step back.

Gu Sixiao stepped forward according to her words, her hands were trembling for some reason.

According to Guanshi Zhang, this is the treasury of the Xue family.Inside—is it all gold? !

After pulling the lock, she exhausted all her strength to push the copper door open.

At that moment, she felt the dazzling golden light, and she couldn't help turning her eyes away, and it took a while before she could look directly at Kuzhong.

Sure enough, it was a treasury. Gu Sixiao had never seen so much gold in his life.

This vault is only the size of two rooms.But on the shelves in the warehouse, there are all gold bricks.

Under the reflection of the night pearl inlaid on the top of the head, the rows of gold bricks exude an indescribable brilliance.

Even if it is Zhang Guanshi, who is so loyal, at this moment, he can't help but turn his head away.

In this world, the most alluring thing is gold.He always felt that he had been subjected to this kind of test and torture all his life, what about this little lady? !
Was it a mistake for the owner to choose to hand over the key to her? !

Looking at the girl staring at the gold treasury, Guanshi Zhang squinted his eyes, still a little uneasy.
