1105: Chapter 1105: Shu Family (9) 1105: Chapter 1105: Shu Family (9) Gu Qingheng originally didnât want to visit the Shu Family so soon, but now he had already arrived at their doorstep, and he truly missed his uncle and grandfather, so he went anyway.
Shu Xing, the old master of the Shu Family, was over sixty, with two sons born earlier and then a daughter, Shu Manzhi, whom he cherished as if she were a treasure.
Especially after his wife passed away, that daughter became his intimate little cotton-padded jacket.
Who would have known that she would marry a non-human and then tragically end up sending a white-haired person to usher off a black-haired one?
âGrandfather,â Gu Qingheng, upon seeing the old man, could no longer maintain his composure and knelt down on the ground.
âGood childâŠâ Shu Xing came over and hugged Gu Qingheng, both crying like children, âI thought I would never see you againâŠâ The old man, once a wise Imperial Teacher and advisor to the empire, was now just an ordinary old man, crying tears of joy.
Shu Tongzhi and Shu Jingzhi found it hard to intervene, as they had shed tears themselves.
Besides, after holding back for three years, a release was needed, so they let the grandfather and grandson cry their hearts out before helping them back up.
âYour mother, sheâs been strong-willed and decisive since she was little,â Shu Xing sighed, leaning back into his chair with Gu Qinghengâs support, âWhen she decided to marry Gu Sheng, she wouldnât say if things werenât going well because it was her choice.
Later, when things became unbearable, she resolutely left a separation letterâŠ
She always had her own way of doing thingsâŠâ
Gu Qingheng simply listened; although he had heard these words many times before, he never found them tiresome.
âWhen you had your accident back then, I thought if I were to pass away and go below, your mother would definitely blame me.
Fortunately, you recovered, and even if I die now, I can do so with peace of mindâŠâ
âDad, what are you saying?â rushed Shu Tongzhi to stop him, âNow Qingheng is back, things will get betterâŠâ
âYes, Grandfather, you havenât even met your granddaughter-in-law yet.
Why talk about death?â Gu Qingheng nodded along, âYour granddaughter-in-law can cook many delicious dishes.
You donât know, Dao Xuzi, the old man, stayed at our house just because he couldnât resist her cooking and wouldnât leaveâŠâ
âReally?â Shu Xingâs eyes widened at the news, âBetter than your grandmotherâs cooking?â
âShe canât be compared to Grandmother, but she likes to experiment and always makes new dishes we havenât tasted before.â Gu Qingheng would never speak ill of his grandmother, but he wouldnât say Xinxin was second to anyone else either.
âWell then, I should meet her,â Shu Xing combed his beard thoughtfully, âand see what kind of girl has got my grandson so protectiveâŠâ
Gu Qingheng smiled.
âRight, youâre called Gu Qingheng now?â Shu Xing suddenly looked up.
âYes,â Gu Qingheng nodded, âSurname Gu, with the given name Yu and courtesy name Qingheng.â
âVery well,â Shu Xing nodded.
That was the name he had chosen, after all.
âSo whatâs your next move?â
âGrandfather, the deaths of my mother and grandmother were both very mysterious,â Gu Qinghengâs eyes narrowed slightly.
âRemember, no matter what you do, the Shu Family will always have your backâŠâ They too felt that the deaths were suspicious, but with the Gu Family involved, investigation was too difficult.
Tears welled up in Gu Qinghengâs eyes once again.
As for Yang Ruxin, though she didnât show it on her face, she kept track mentally; that kid had been gone for over thirty-six hoursâŠ
it was approaching seventy-two hours nowâŠ
Wasnât he supposed to come back within three days?
It had been three days already; why wasnât he back yet?
Damn it, could he have been bewitched by that little demon?
