Chapter 124 The Secret of the Gu Family

After seeing off the Gu brothers and sisters, Song Shiwei hurried into the room.

As soon as she opened the door, she was pulled towards him, and then a tall body pushed her against the door.

Before she could react, the man's passionate kiss came down on her.

Xiao Jingheng seemed to be stimulated and kissed her fiercely. It took a long time for his restless heart to calm down.

The fierce kiss turned into a gentle caress.

After a while, Jamel Xiao let her go. He seemed a little annoyed with what he had done, and said with guilt in his eyes: “I’m sorry, I lost control, did I scare you?”

Song Shiwei was indeed a little confused, but she could also feel that Xiao Jamel was not in the right mood, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jingheng touched Song Shiwei's head, looking unhappy: "My dear is being targeted by a wolf."

"Wolf?"

Song Shiwei's eyes rolled, and she realized belatedly: "Are you talking about Gu Yucheng? How is this possible? Are you overthinking it?"

Xiao Jingheng snorted: "Who is Gu Yucheng? If he had no other thoughts about you, would he accompany Gu Tinglan to visit the mansion in person?

And he smiled at you. Everyone in Beijing knows that Gu Yucheng has a stinky face all day long. Who have you seen him smile at?"

He gnashed his teeth in hatred: "I saw it at the banquet in the Marquis' Mansion. His attitude towards you is not ordinary, as expected!"

Song Shiwei: "..."

She really didn't realize that Gu Yucheng had any unusual feelings for her.

No wonder Xiao Jingheng was discovered for no reason. It turned out that he was jealous and exposed himself.

Song Shiwei was both angry and amused: "Why, are you afraid that someone else will snatch me away?"

Xiao Jingheng opened his mouth. How could he not be afraid? After all, his Qingqing was so dazzling, and there was no man who would not like her.

He sighed and said, "You have no idea of ​​your own charm. I'm just afraid that my face can't confuse you."

Song Shiwei chuckled, she held Xiao Jingheng's face and said: "You can't confuse me, you forgot that the Ah Mo I like is ugly and dumb."

Xiao Jingheng laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "I am just making trouble for myself."

Song Shiwei knew that only those who truly cared about someone would worry about gains and losses. She said, "Since you don't like him, I'll just keep my distance from him in the future, so that you won't be jealous again."

Xiao Jingheng took Song Shiwei's hand and said, "Do you know why I'm worried?

Because Gu Yucheng is far more than what you see on the surface. It is true that he is a wolf.

Being targeted by a wolf is a very dangerous thing.”

Song Shiwei said curiously, "Tell me about it."

Xiao Jingheng pulled her to sit down at the table and said, "Do you know that Gu Yucheng was not born to Madam Hou, but has someone else as his biological mother?"

Song Shiwei was a little surprised that Gu Yucheng was not born to Madam Hou. She asked, "Then who is his biological mother?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "She is the childhood sweetheart of Yongning Marquis Gu Mingan.

Gu Mingan, the top student in high school, was favored by Sun Ruoxue, the second daughter of the Sun family. Gu Mingan refused the marriage proposal on the grounds that he was already engaged.

But who are the Sun family? Gu Mingan was just a top scholar who had just entered the official career. If the Sun family wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

I don’t know what means the Sun family used in the end, but Gu Mingan compromised anyway.

He married Sun Ruoxue, the second daughter of the Sun family, and became the son-in-law of the Sun family.

However, Gu Mingan could never forget his sweetheart, so he secretly kept her outside, and this woman became pregnant with Sun Ruoxue.

Somehow Sun Ruoxue found out about this, and in a fit of rage she had a miscarriage and lost the baby in her belly.

Later, she seemed like a different person and took the initiative to ask Gu Mingan to bring the woman to his house to help with the pregnancy.

Gu Mingan thought Sun Ruoxue had come to her senses, so he took her back, but he ultimately underestimated Sun Ruoxue's viciousness."

Song Shiwei was shocked and asked, "That woman was killed by Sun Ruoxue?"

Xiao Jingheng nodded: “No one knows how that woman died.

In short, her son became Sun Ruoxue's son, who is now Gu Yucheng.

This matter is a secret, and no one else knows about it except the parties involved.

It’s just that Qin Muyan is in charge of the intelligence of the capital, and he knows some of the secrets of the officials in the capital.”

He looked at Song Shiwei and said, "Do you know the secret behind the painting 'Bank Reeds and Orchids' that you gave to the Yongning Marquis?"

Song Shiwei blinked her eyes, and an idea flashed through her mind: "Could it be related to Gu Yucheng's biological mother?"

"Guessed it right."

Xiao Jingheng tapped Song Shiwei's forehead and said, "Gu Yucheng's mother's surname is Chu, and she is a descendant of the painter Chu Lian of the previous dynasty.

The painting "Bank Reeds and Orchids" should have been a family heirloom from Gu Yucheng's mother, but it was lost for some unknown reason.

This is also why Yongning Hou is so grateful to you."

"I see."

When Song Shiwei thought of the origin of Gu Tinglan's name, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

She murmured, "It seems that Sun doesn't know the secret of this picture."

If Sun knew that the painting was Gu Mingan commemorating his deceased wife, how could she let her daughter be named Tinglan?

She suddenly felt that Marquis Yongning was terrible, because at the banquet he and his wife looked so loving, and who could have imagined that there was such a story behind it.

Song Shiwei asked: "Does Gu Yucheng know his own life experience?"

Xiao Jingheng narrowed his eyes and said, “Of course I know, and Sun Ruoxue hates this son.

When he was a child, he was either beaten or scolded, which is also the reason for Gu Yucheng's gloomy personality.

In order to protect his son from Sun Ruoxue's abuse, Gu Mingan had to pretend to be in love with her.

As long as Sun Ruoxue is happy, she won't vent her anger on Gu Yucheng."

Song Shiwei was horrified when she heard this. On the surface, the Marquis' Mansion seemed to be a harmonious family, but how much love, hatred and vengeance were hidden behind this?

She frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "In other words, the Yongning Marquis hates the Sun family so much that they may not really support the Crown Prince?"

Jamel Xiao nodded: “There is one more thing.

I have always suspected that the Sun family father and son did not die on the battlefield. They were most likely killed by Gu Mingan. "

Song Shiwei was shocked and couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "Why do you have such doubts?"

Xiao Jingheng said solemnly: "Because it was Gu Mingan who led the troops to support the Sun family back then."

Back then, the Huo family colluded with the enemy and leaked military intelligence, which led to the defeat of the Nanli army and the fall of Pingyang Pass.

The father and son of the Sun family led their troops to fight to the death. At that time, Gu Mingan was ordered to lead the troops to support them.

However, both the father and son of the Sun family died on the battlefield.

In the end, it was Gu Mingan who defended Pingyang Pass, and because of this, he was named Marquis of Yongning.
