When Gu Xu and Su Yingjian were alone together, the expressions on their faces were not as obedient and pretty as before.

It was hard to tell what expression it was, he seemed to be smiling. Su Yingjian looked carefully and saw that he looked calm but slightly doubtful.

"Who? I don't know him." said Gu Xu.

"You don't have to be afraid. Gu Dashi is outside. He can't hear us talking." Su Yingjian said. He really regarded Gu Xu as his own. "I am your... your mother's third brother's son. My name is Su Yingjian. Your cousin."

Gu Xuxin said, do I look like I'm scared of Gu Dashi?

"I don't know who my mother is." Gu Xu said, "My father is Gu Dashi."

"He is not! He is my adoptive father. I know you have suffered a lot." Su Yingjian wanted to hold Gu Xu's hand, but was easily avoided.

"So what if he's my adoptive father?" Gu Xu looked at him.

"You were deceived by him so quickly?" Su Yingjian was a little angry. "His kindness to you was all fake. The last time we met, he wanted to sell you to a brothel. Have you forgotten that?"

"I'm fine." said Gu Xu.

"I know he has been beating, scolding and abusing you for many years. Aren't you curious why he suddenly became a better person?" Su Yingjian said.

Gu Xu thought, I am really curious.

But he said, “I don’t care.”

"You really are!" Su Yingjian was angry.

But he soon convinced himself. Gu Xu grew up in a farmer's family, so it was normal for him to be simple-minded. As long as the interests were made clear to him, he would naturally be alert.

"Your mother is Su Huaiyue, the youngest daughter of the Su family. She died eight years ago in the case of Prince Shen's rebellion. You are her only bloodline left." Su Yingjian said, "Our Su family... values ​​you very much. Therefore, your attitude may determine how the entire Su family stands and whether they will participate in the power struggle."

"For me?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes." Su Yingjian said, "You...you don't know how much Grandpa values ​​​​young aunt. Your attitude can really influence his decision..."

"I don't understand." Gu Xu lowered his eyes.

The Su family... has it reached the point where they have to fight?

It may seem ridiculous to get involved in a power struggle for a child, but if Su has already intended to wade into this muddy water, his safety can indeed influence some things.

I think there are many people who can see this. The emperor's attitude is very clear.

"That Gu Dashi treats you well because he wants to use you!" Su Yingjian was a little anxious again. "The news from Luoyang says that King Yin has colluded with this Gu Dashi. He treats you well just to take advantage of your identity and get some benefits."

Gu Xu's eyes moved slightly.

...It's possible.

He only cared about what Gu Dashi had been doing to the prince, but did not consider other possibilities.

King Yin...

They met the fake Wen Qing in the forest that day, and King Yin's magical soldiers descended from the sky and helped them to some extent, and they also got to know Gu Dashi and Gu Xu.

It’s a pity that the premise for this incident to become a suspicion for Gu Yue was that King Yin’s arrival at that time had nothing to do with Gu Xu.

"Where's the evidence?" Gu Xu didn't believe it at all.

"King Yin said it himself, that Gu Dashi had a friendship with him." Su Yingjian didn't give too many details.

That's strange, Gu Xu thought.

Why did King Yin confidently reveal to the Su family that Gu Dashi was his insider?

Gu Xu didn't think that King Yin could be sure that Gu Dashi had defected to him just based on the conversation in the woods that day.

Do they keep in touch privately?

"Master Su Yingjian, I don't understand what you said." Feeling a little uncomfortable, Gu Xu said lightly.

"You——" Su Yingjian was speechless.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Su Yingjian said dejectedly: "I hope you really don't understand. Don't tell Gu Dashi about our conversation today, otherwise, your life may be in danger."

"Okay, I understand." Gu Xu said.

Su Yingjian lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The carriage was not moving very fast, so Su Yingjian jumped off the carriage and stood still. Luo Dao drove the carriage to his side and pulled him up with one hand.

Gu Yue quickly shouted to Wu Feng to stop the car, he wanted to go find Gu Xu.

He really wanted to jump down like others, but his broken leg was really disappointing, so forget it.

Good health should come before career.

The convoy stopped briefly, and Gu Yue got on the car before starting again.

The curtain of the car was opened, and Gu Yue saw Gu Xu leaning against the wall of the car, wondering what he was thinking.

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment before sitting next to Gu Xu.

"...um...Xiao Xu." Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu saw Gu Yue coming up and reached out his hand.

The two hands were clasped together again.

"That Ying Jian...what did he...say to you? Is he your relative?" Gu Yue asked.

"That's what he said, but I don't remember it." Gu Xu replied.

"Oh." Gu Yue stopped talking.

After a long silence, Gu Yue asked again: "Then...what is he doing here? Does he want you to go back with him?"

"Yes." Gu Xu answered quickly, observing Gu Yue's reaction.

"You can't go back with him!" Gu Yue's rationality disappeared for a moment.

"Why?" Gu Xu wondered why this person didn't ask what kind of family it was.

"They came to you at this time, obviously they are here to take advantage of you." Gu Yue felt bad after saying this. Gu Xu... Gu Xu's blood relationship, isn't it bad for him to smear it without any basis?

Su Yingjian's purpose only stopped at his guess. He didn't even know who this person was, so how could he say that he was being used?

If he was being used, wouldn't it have been better to take Gu Xu away from the beginning?

...Gu Yue didn’t dare to look into Gu Xu’s eyes.

He admitted that he had some selfish and despicable thoughts. Now that Gu Xu had found his blood relative, would he abandon his adoptive father who had abused and beaten him for many years?

And, and.

The investigation all led back to Gu Xu, so Gu Dashi's deeds could not be concealed. The fact that Gu Dashi once wanted to sell Gu Xu to a brothel would definitely be reported to his family by Ying Jian.

It seems obvious who Gu Xu will choose.

"...If you really want to go back, it's not impossible, but you have to do a thorough investigation. Did he tell you who your family is? They shouldn't be ordinary people. He dresses well, so his family should be quite wealthy." Gu Yue analyzed seriously, "You said that the guards around him are not easy to mess with, so his family must be quite prominent."

But the more he spoke, the more his nose felt sore. Gu Yue paused and a big tear fell.

The two people in the carriage were stunned.

...No future, really no future!

Gu Yue scolded himself, quickly raised his sleeve to wipe it, and hurriedly explained: "I just feel a little reluctant. If you want to go back..."

Gu Yue forced himself to return to reason. Gu Xu might have found his family now, and this family seemed to be very prominent. He had to carefully confirm their purpose, so that Gu Xu could provide an extra layer of help or take advantage of it depending on the situation...

The tears kept falling, and finally there was only a mess in Gu Yue's head, with one sentence circling in his mind: Gu Xu will have his own real family.

The next moment, the fabric on his chest was pulled tight, pushing his shoulders down, and a warm kiss covered his lips.

Gu Yue widened his eyes.
