The whole capital thinks I'm a lone star

Chapter 267
Giving hope and letting hope shatter, it is better not to agree from the beginning.

Gu Feng didn't answer, he just said: "Go out and think about what you should do as the heir of Duke Dingguo."

At this moment, Gu Moxuan was suddenly disheartened. He didn't know what he was in his father's heart.

After leaving the study, Gu Moxuan endured the sadness in his heart and went to see Xiao Shu'er.

In a small courtyard in central Beijing.

"Brother Xuan, you're here." Xiao Shu'er saw the person coming, and immediately went up to meet him, with anticipation in her eyes.

She carefully observed Gu Moxuan's expression, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Brother Xuan, what did Uncle Gu say, is my father coming out soon? Father's health is not good, and the prison is cold. He has been in it these days. It must be suffering, as long as Shu'er thinks that his father is suffering, Shu'er will feel extremely uncomfortable, wishing that he can replace him."

Gu Moxuan was moved. He held Xiao Shu'er's hand, with distressed eyes, "Shu'er, Marquis Kang Ding must be very pleased to have a daughter like you. You may not know, Shu'er, that Marquis Kang Ding is serving as the young master of Dali Temple. During the Qing Dynasty, I did some illegal things, this time it is the Prince of England who wants to thoroughly investigate these things, and behind the Prince of England is His Majesty."

Understanding Gu Moxuan's implication, Xiao Shu'er's heart couldn't stop sinking, she looked at Gu Moxuan with full eyes, "Brother Xuan, Shu'er knows that his father is not a bad person, he must have just been confused for a moment when he did those things, can you tell me?" Help him, help Shu'er? Father must know that he is wrong."

A crystal teardrop fell.

Gu Moxuan felt distressed, and made a decision while helping her wipe away tears, "Don't worry, Shu'er, brother Xuan will definitely help, but this matter is indeed very difficult, and I can't guarantee anything."

"It's okay Brother Xuan, it's good if you are willing to help," she leaned closer to Gu Moxuan's shoulder, "Brother Xuan, you are the best for Shu'er, with you, Shu'er feels at ease."

Feeling her attachment, Gu Moxuan moved his fingers, wanting to hug her, but felt that his hand weighed a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift it at all.

The more Shu'er said that, the more guilty he felt.

It is almost a certainty that Kang Dinghou will be convicted. Prince Ying may not even give Ding Guogong face, let alone he is only the eldest son.

When Gu Moxuan left, his heart was extremely heavy. In the academy, he has always been the favored child of heaven, as long as it is what he wants to do, he can do anything, but now, he can't marry the girl he loves, and it is difficult for him to help her.

He had been watching the carriage of Duke Dingguo leave, and the moment he turned around, Xiao Shu'er's tearful expression disappeared.

Just now Brother Xuan never said Dingguo Guild would help. There is only one possibility, and that is Dingguogong refuses to help.

Xiao Shu'er knows what kind of person her father is. However, during the years when King Shun was around, his father's behavior became more and more perverse and careless. As long as the Prince of England wanted to investigate, he would be able to find a lot of things. Those things are enough to destroy the Kangding Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Kangding's Mansion is here, and I am the lady of the family. If the Marquis of Kangding's Mansion is gone, what am I?In the upper class, the reputation of the students in the inner courtyard of the academy can only be icing on the cake, without a family background, it is impossible to stand firm.

I worked so hard to be admitted to the academy, entered the inner courtyard, got close to Gu Moxuan, and paid so much, I absolutely can't just end it like this!

Xiao Shu'er clenched her fists, her nails dug into her palms, and suddenly remembered a letter she received a few days ago.
