C10 Truth

Gu Qishao knew that his brother and mother truly cared for him. His heart warmed as he nodded affirmatively, "It's true. Second Master Lu only opened a bookstore, while Eldest Young Master is in politics. For a political family like the Lu family, Second Master Lu is nothing to look at."

In truth, deep down, she had no idea how difficult life was for her. Although her life had not been as good as it seemed, her innocence had not changed into an accident. Gu Qing Wan thought about it sometimes and found it inconceivable.

"If it really is like this, then there's no need to worry so much about getting married into the second branch. We'll go buy clothes for you in two days and dress up properly. No one will dislike us being so beautiful late." She was always so optimistic.

Gu Qinglang and Gu Qingchen looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was rare to see a mother like her!

Gu Qingshui and Madam Guan were very satisfied. Madam Guan stroked Gu Qing's hair and said lovingly, "In the future, we'll have to marry a eldest son. When we become the housekeeper, we'll see who dares to give you face."

She knew that the Lu family's eldest daughter-in-law came from a prestigious family, and her family was also from an extraordinary background. Gu Qinglang hadn't even gotten married yet; his family background couldn't even compare to theirs.

She didn't want her daughter to live like that. Her daughter had been to the academy, and although she wasn't as good-looking as Gu Qing Wan, she was also very outstanding. Furthermore, she was working at the back, so she didn't believe that she couldn't find a better student.

In the future, the Gu family would be their concubine, and her sons and daughters would be given the best ones. Wasn't he worse off than his own daughter! At this thought, she felt at ease.

Gu Qing gave a smile and nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was still thinking about his senior brother. His senior brother seemed to be the eldest son of the family, so his mother should be satisfied, right?

In the Lu family's living room, after the servants had left, only Lu Yan, Master Lu, and Lady Jiang remained.

"You want to marry the fourth lady of the Gu family?" Master Lu asked first.

"This item might be related to that batch of medicinal ingredients from back then. As for where exactly it is hidden, we still don't know." Lu Yan's expression was serious at the moment, "But what's certain is that no one in the Gu family knows about this, including everyone in the third branch."

"Then why do you still want to marry the Gu family's daughter?" Master Lu asked puzzledly as he looked at his second son, whom he had never understood before.

"The clues must be on them. They just don't know it yet." Lu Yan spoke confidently. The confident look on his face made Master Lu's teeth hurt.

Suddenly, Master Lu turned to look at Lu Yan, "You mean that the clue went to that girl in the third branch of the Gu family?"

Lu Yan smiled and nodded, returning to his gentle and refined appearance.

"How can you be so sure it must be her?" Master Lu was even more puzzled. How old was that girl back then? How could Third Master Gu leak such an important thing to her?

This is something that Master Gu would never tell her. At that time, Gu Qingchen was still too young, so it was impossible for him to remember, and Master Gu would not entrust such an important clue to a child who did not know anything. Therefore, there was only one choice, and that would be the Gu Qingwai who had already remembered things. Lu Yan spoke slowly, as if this made a lot of sense.

"He could have entrusted the clues to someone else." Master Lu couldn't help but retort. Although he knew that taking care of San Ye's personality meant that he had to leave a way out for his family, he just couldn't stand to see his second son like this! If there were these things, even if you had been in the third wife's room for so many years, you wouldn't have been living such a miserable life. "

Lu Yan looked at his father with a gentle smile, but didn't say anything. To Master Lu, however, it was more ticklish than saying anything, so he decided not to look at him anymore.

But at this time, Lu Yan opened his mouth to explain, "I mean the clues are on them, but maybe they don't know it themselves? And isn't that the most likely scenario? "

Madame Jiang, Lu Yan's mother, was a gentle and magnanimous woman. She was in her forties, and because she was properly maintained, she looked like she was in her early thirties. She wore a simple and unadorned cheongsam, and wore a white fox fur cape.

At this moment, he frowned as he looked at his second son. "Do you really have to marry her?" Although he had to investigate this matter, there was no need for him to spend a lifetime on it.

Old Master Lu looked at his son as well. He refused to believe that this fellow would sacrifice his entire life for the sake of something that wasn't real. He wasn't that noble!

As if he knew what his father was thinking, Lu Yan smiled and said, "The clues are with Gu Qing Wan, of course we'll marry her and have a good exploration." Even though he spoke so brazenly, hearing those words made Old Master Lu want to gnash his teeth in pain once more!

"Yan'er, have you thought about it properly? This is something that will happen to you for the rest of your life. Mom doesn't want you to feel wronged for the sake of something you don't have." Madame Jiang knew that her son had his own opinions, but she still couldn't help but remind him, "Mother heard that the Third Branch's lady had an honest and stiff personality. Are you sure you want to marry her?"

When Gu Qingcheng's personality was described as honest and stiff, Madame Jiang had already shown mercy. According to her original personality, she couldn't be described as simple and honest. She was cowardly, cowardly, and petty!

However, upon hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but think back to the investigation report he had seen previously. I don't think so. Normally, she would just submit and let things go, but that was because she didn't really do them any real harm. When it really came into contact with her own interests, she would reveal her sharp claws and start scratching people!

He was very interested in Gu Qing Wan. He really wanted to see how many hidden sides she had. Since he was interested, then he might as well marry her. So far, she was the first woman he was interested in.

Looking at his son's slightly raised lips, Madame Jiang knew that he had made up his mind. She did not say anything more, as long as he knew what she was doing. Thus, this conversation came to a successful conclusion.

When they walked out of the living room, Madame Jiang still looked worriedly at Lu Yan. Lu Yan knew what his mother was thinking, so he took the initiative to say, "Mother, don't worry. The children of the Gu family are all good people. They won't disgrace your son." With a handsome, refined face and a gentle and cheerful voice, Madame Jiang could not help but laugh as she shook her head, no longer paying attention to him.

He even asked Madame Bai to go shopping, so he let them handle their own matters.

Gu Qing Wan first met Lu Yan in an unexpected situation. Gu Qing Wan accompanied her mother to a jewelry store that day, but she wasn't very interested in these things, she just wanted to buy a few books from a bookstore nearby. At the same time, she waited for her mother to pick up the right things and leave, then entered Lu Yan's small bookstore.

There weren't many people in the store. Lu Yan was sitting behind the counter and reading some documents. When he heard someone enter, he looked up and saw Gu Qing Wan, his fiancee.

Gu Qing Wan didn't know Lu Yan, nor did she see what the person behind the counter looked like. After entering, she started looking for the novel she wanted, but Lu Yan knew her, so her information was still on the table in her study!

Seeing Gu Qing Wan coming in by herself and looking for the book without saying a word, Lu Yan smiled slightly, sizing her up. Gu Qing Wan was dressed in a blue and white embroidered qipao, fresh and elegant, with a pink handbag in her hand. Her hair was black, her skin was white and delicate, and her figure was well-proportioned and slim. Standing there, it was like a painting scroll!

Her long, curvy eyelashes fluttered like a fan as she blinked, hiding the light in her eyes. She had a straight, small, and delicate nose, and her pink lips were slightly curled up, looking sexy and seductive, as if she was inviting a kiss. Lu Yan knew that the girls in the Gu family were all good girls, but he had no choice but to admit that Gu Qishao was definitely the Gu family's most outstanding beauty at this moment.

Seeing this, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he quietly walked up to her, "May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

Gu Qingwan, who was seriously looking for a book, was startled. She abruptly raised her head to look and was then shocked and pleasantly surprised! Why is senior brother here? But looking at him wearing a moon-white robe, standing there with his hair in three to seven parts, his voice gentle and refined, looking at you and smiling, and his voice gentle and gentle, yet not losing its magnetism, Gu Qingcheng knew that this person was not his senior brother, although sometimes he was also very gentle, but he was definitely not like this person, always feeling that his gentle surface was just a disguise to hide his true personality.

Seeing Gu Qing Wan staring at him in a daze, his bright eyes filled with unconcealable shock, then turned into joy, then into contemplation, then finally into disappointment as he lowered his eyes. Lu Yan narrowed his eyes in contemplation.

Not wanting to see her continue to be disappointed, he interrupted her again, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" His voice was still gentle, and even his tone remained the same as before.

Although she knew this person wasn't her senior brother, she still couldn't help but feel weak in her heart. It was just that she had no way of resisting this face, but then she realized that she was already engaged, no matter how much she liked it, it was useless, so she didn't want to interact too much with this person. She simply shook her head and said, "Thank you, I'll take a look myself." Then he turned and walked away, to the bookshelf on the other side.

The first time she saw him was when she was in her first year of university. Not long after the new students entered the school, there was a change in the student union, while their first year of university had already been filled in with new students. They had just arrived at the university, and everyone was still quite new.
