I am stable

Chapter 58 Meeting
Scholar thought about it, and felt that what the lady said was right. If there was any danger, it would be useless to follow the lady. On the contrary, it would be different to go back and ask for help.

So she nodded mysteriously, lowered her voice, and assured with a volume that could be heard by two people, "Miss, don't worry, Shuxiang will definitely bring someone to rescue you." She said it quite heroically and generously, as if it was a matter of life and death Like a martyr.

Gu Qingwan: "...I like you."

So under Gu Qingwan's earnest eyes, Shuxiang strode towards Gu's house with great strides.

Gu Qingwan: ...

Then he got into the rickshaw and said calmly, "Let's go."

The coachman acted like an outsider from the beginning to the end, watching Gu Qingwan interact with Shuxiang, neither urging nor anxious, calm as an old monk.

Gu Qingwan took a look at him, then looked away, shook his head and smiled, and said nothing.

When Gu Qingwan came to Mingzhu Tower, someone immediately led her upstairs, she was slightly taken aback, a little surprised, she didn't expect the other party to be quite thoughtful.

But she didn't say anything, and followed the waiter to the door of a private room. After knocking on the door, a man's deep voice came out, "Please come in!"

The waiter made a gesture of invitation to her, watched Gu Qingwan close the door after entering, and then stood guard at the door to obey the arrangement.

The man in the private room is indeed the man Gu Qingwan saw that day, still wearing a suit, slender, handsome, with a cynical smile on his mouth, giving people a vile yet fatal attraction, This is a dangerous man, as charming and deadly as a poppy.

This is Gu Qingwan's most intuitive impression of him. Such a man is a disaster for women, but he is the type of person that Gu Qingwan wants to avoid, but now she has to interact with him and she is always vigilant.

She looked at him, "May I ask what you can teach me, sir?" She asked the purpose directly.

The man has been watching her since Gu Qingwan came in, and when he heard her question, he smiled and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Miss Gu, please sit down." He pointed to the seat opposite him, and poured her a glass Tea.

Looking at his posture, Gu Qingwan knew that it wouldn't end so soon, since she wanted to know the situation, she could only do whatever she wanted, so she sat down casually, and then looked up at him.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Xiao Musheng." He casually picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then watched as the smile on the corner of Gu Qingwan's mouth deepened, "The person who has a marriage contract with you." He added.

When Gu Qingwan heard his last words, she frowned fiercely, not understanding what he meant, "I believe you should know that I'm married." She then looked at him inquiringly, and said her own Puzzled, "And I have never heard of the fact that I have a marriage contract, let alone your existence."

Gu Qingwan knew in his heart that the man opposite did not come to let her fulfill the marriage contract, and even whether the marriage contract existed was a question, he must have other purposes.

And even if the marriage contract is true, Xiao Musheng didn't intend to marry her, otherwise he wouldn't wait until now, if he didn't meet him that day and let him recognize him, he probably didn't even know that there was another one of her. .

So her voice-over is, since there is a marriage contract, why doesn't the Gu family know about it?And where have you been all these years?
Xiao Musheng smiled slightly after hearing her words, "Indeed, it's a pity, I'm a step late." He said regret, but Gu Qingwan didn't see any regrets in him at all.

Not wanting to continue arguing with him, she said directly, "You know my father." In an affirmative tone.

Xiao Musheng nodded without denying it.

Gu Qingwan took out the note, stared at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally, Xiao and Gu Sanye have a relationship." The note said, "Do you want to know about your father?"

When Gu Qingwan heard him say this, she suddenly felt tricked. She thought he would say that he knew the cause of Gu Sanye's death or other secrets, but she didn't expect him to mean that he and his father knew each other.

As if seeing Gu Qingwan's dissatisfaction, he continued: "The marriage contract was the result of negotiations between Gu Sanye and my father. It's just a pity..." He shook his head and didn't say the rest.

Gu Qingwan knew that it was a pity that Gu Sanye failed to return to Beiping safely, but died in the riots.

She had always been skeptical about his words, so she asked, "So, what is your purpose this time?"

Xiao Musheng looked at the woman in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I originally planned to come to fulfill the marriage contract, but it's a pity that Xiao came a step late, and now I just want to see you."

Gu Qingwan: ...Who would believe this?

Not only did Gu Qingwan not believe what Xiao Musheng said, he was also skeptical about the marriage contract, "Do you have any tokens?" Just by saying that there is a marriage contract, anyone can say a few, the key is It can be believed.

Xiao Musheng seemed to know that she would definitely ask such a question, so he took out a silver peach-shaped pendant, opened the pendant with his thumb, and inside was a photo of Gu Qingwan when he was a child, and he showed it to Gu Qingwan.

When Gu Qingwan reached out to take it, he took it back, "This is your father's personal belongings, and no one else can get it without his permission. Now you finally believe it."

Gu Qingwan looked at him, "Doesn't matter if you believe it or not?" What's the point of saying this because she's already married?Moreover, Mr. Gu had an accident in the south at that time, and all his belongings were lost after that, so of course this one would not be spared.

Thinking of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him, if her father's death had something to do with him...

Looking at her suspicious eyes, Xiao Musheng knew what she was thinking, "I was only ten years old at that time." He was quite helpless when he said it.

Gu Qingwan still looked at him, if it wasn't his relationship, wouldn't it be his family?
Xiao Musheng solemnly explained: "My father is a soldier. At that time, Mr. Gu and my father had contacts in medicinal materials. They are a cooperative relationship and have been friends for many years."

Friends for many years?Gu Qingwan scoffed at this statement. If it was true for many years, why hadn't he seen them appear after his father's death?
But she didn't come to inquire about the crime, she just wanted to know what the purpose of these people was, but she also wanted to know some details of Gu Sanye's accident, so she lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Father, when he left Is it painful?" Although he didn't show any sadness, such a question made people feel unexpectedly heavy.

Xiao Musheng also put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, he rarely looked at her seriously, although he really wanted to tell her something, but unfortunately, he didn't know, so he shook his head, "I don't know, wait for my father Your father was no longer there when the news was received, and all he received was a box of ashes."

Gu Qingwan looked up at him, with no sadness or joy on his face, because in her memory, there was indeed only a box of ashes sent back, and it was already separated forever without seeing him for the last time,
Looking at her like this, Xiao Musheng would rather she cry, it's more uncomfortable than crying, he suddenly softened, maybe he really shouldn't bring up this topic again, "I'm sorry, I reminded you of sad things At that time, my father suspected that there was something wrong with Uncle Gu's death, and sent people to investigate in many ways. There were indeed doubts, but there was no progress or evidence to prove that this matter was intentional."

Gu Qingwan took a deep breath, "Did my father leave something behind? Something you want to get." She looked at him with burning eyes and spoke in an affirmative tone.

Xiao Musheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he smiled knowingly, how could Third Master Gu's daughter be so stupid?He didn't intend to hide it from her, so he simply said: "Yes, Uncle Gu does have something that others want in his hands. My father also suspected that this incident caused his accidental death, but after many investigations, there is still nothing. Any clues, after Uncle Gu left, I thought they would be in your hands, but later found out that they were not, so the clues were cut off."

Although Gu Qingwan already knew this was the result, but he couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he said it himself, "Then why are you here now?" Isn't it already confirmed that it's not on them?Why do you still want to see her?

Xiao Musheng shook his head and smiled, "I originally thought so, but the attitude and behavior of the Lu family made me realize that maybe our direction has been wrong all along."

"So you suspect that the clue is in me?" Gu Qingwan narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Xiao Musheng nodded, and then said sincerely: "Yes, so Xiao hopes for your cooperation, this thing is very important to us." This is why he told her directly, he believed that Lu Yan's purpose was the same as his, but he Never dare to tell her directly.

Whether it is not wanting her to misunderstand, or wanting to protect her for her safety, Lu Yan will not let her know, but in this way, the problems they face will be difficult. After all, can they find this person in the end? The key is to take care of things at night.

"Are you so sure that I must know, or that I will definitely find the clue?" Gu Qingwan didn't quite understand, obviously they couldn't find it after so many people searched for it. Where did the confidence come from that made them think that she would definitely be able to? Did you find it?

Xiao Musheng shook his head, "You don't know how cautious your father is. Before, we thought you were too young to think about it. Later, even though you thought about it, you really didn't know anything. , and no other actions no matter how difficult life has been these years, it makes us feel that you really don't know."

He looked at Gu Qingwan, "However, this may be your father's brilliance. He must have put clues on you, but it is something that even you don't know or is so common that people can easily ignore it."
