After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

"The Jin family will... be executed entirely?! What's the reason?" Jin Chi looked at his daughter and his heart stopped.

His Jin family has protected the emperor for generations since their ancestors.

What kind of crime could lead to the beheading of an entire family?

Jin Ruoyun shook her head. "Yuanyuan didn't tell us the reason. We can't always hear her inner voice. We don't know the reason either, but it has something to do with Gu Boqing."

This matter has always been a thorn in her heart. She is not afraid of the result, but the reason that caused this result.

If you don't know the reason, you can't avoid it.

It's like there's a sharp blade hanging over your head, ready to chop you down at any moment.

Jin Chi knew that this matter was too serious, and fearing that the two would be too anxious, he comforted them:

"Don't worry for now. Maybe they will overhear us later. What we need to do is to be careful in what we say and do, and not give those who are secretly watching our Jin family a chance to take action."

The current emperor is a benevolent monarch, and he knows that he will not do anything to rebel against his authority.

So if it wasn't treason, then it must have been a frame-up.

How was he framed?

Gu Xu: "The mastermind may not be Gu Boqing. He doesn't have such great ability."

"It should be the Third Prince. Gu Xingruo's poison at the palace banquet today was originally intended for Grandfather. I accidentally learned that he wanted to harm Grandfather, so I switched the medicine."

"Grandfather is the emperor's man, and will be the prince's right-hand man in the future. If the third prince wants to overthrow the prince, he will first eliminate the Jin family to pave the way for the future."

"Yuanyuan also said that the Third Prince has always wanted to get rid of our Jin family, and the Third Prince often discusses countermeasures with Gu Xingruo."

Jin Chi felt that his analysis made sense and it might be the third prince who did it.

"Xu'er's idea is correct. Fortunately, Xu'er was not spoiled by your father."

"Don't worry about this matter. I will find someone to keep an eye on the Third Prince."

"What your father is most worried about right now is you, Yun'er. Why don't you divorce Gu Boqing and go home so that your father can support you!"

Seeing his daughter suffer, he wished he could chop that unfaithful man Gu Boqing into two pieces.

He couldn't bear to say a harsh word to his daughter, yet he treated his precious daughter like this!

Jin Ruoyun shook her head, "No, now is not the time for a divorce. Dad, don't worry, I have my own plans and I won't let myself suffer any more losses."

Divorce is certain, and she will take the children with her.

If Sang Xiaowan were to become a stepmother, she dared not imagine how she would treat her children.

Also, she had to get back all the money she spent on Gu Boqing.

She wanted him to spit out whatever he ate!

Jin Chi knew that his daughter always had her own ideas, so he left the matter to her.

"Master, Miss, someone from the Gu family came and asked you to go back. They said that your son-in-law was beaten with a stick and asked you to go back and take care of him." The maid said outside the door.

"Hmph! Do you think my daughter is a nanny? Going back to take care of Gu Boqing? He's not worthy!" Jin Chi was so angry that his nostrils spurted out and he paced back and forth in the study.

"Dad, calm down. It's getting late. I should go back. You and mother should take care of yourselves. I will come back to see you when I have time."

Jin Chi knew that now was not the time to fall out, so he could only let his daughter go back first.

After getting on the carriage, when Ding Mo was about to drive to Gu's house, Jin Ruoyun stopped him.

"Change the route and go to Jiang's house."

She didn't want to go back so early.

Looking at Gu Boqing's donkey face, she felt it was unlucky.

[The carriage is shaking. I want to sleep. I am so sleepy. I want to sleep.]

Jin Yuanyuan was in a daze. She had eaten too much at the Jin family. Now her eyelids were trembling and she was drowsy.

"Aren't you going back home?" Gu Xu asked doubtfully.

Jin Ruoyun looked at her son meaningfully, "Xu'er, you are eighteen years old this year, and it is time to discuss marriage. I think the daughter of the Duan family is good. I plan to go to the Jiang family to ask about Shuhe's situation. What do you think now?"

In fact, there was no need to ask, she had already seen through what kind of person her son was.

Ever since he met the young lady from the Duan family at Taiqing Temple, his silly son has been in a daze all day, absent-minded.

Once, he was holding a book without reading, staring out the window and smiling foolishly.

He must have fallen in love with that Miss Duan but is too embarrassed to say it.

[If you guys want to talk about this, then I won't be sleepy anymore! Big brother, big brother, please tell me what you think? ]

When Jin Yuanyuan heard that she was going to discuss her eldest brother's marriage, her eyes lit up.

His eyes wandered over Gu Xu, waiting for his answer.

Hearing his sister teasing him in her heart, Gu Xu felt unusually embarrassed.

He pursed his lips and lowered his head, the tips of his ears slightly red.

"Since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. Marriages... the mother should make the decision."

This is what it means to be willing.

Jin Ruoyun had expected this, and she immediately decided, "Okay! Then I'll go and ask around and ask what the girl thinks."

When they arrived at Jiang's house, Gu Xu was too embarrassed to follow them in, so he waited in the carriage.

Jin Ruoyun carried Jin Yuanyuan in.

Sister Jiang was particularly happy to see her coming.

"What a rare guest! Why are you here? Since you got married, you rarely go out. You stay at home to take care of your Lord Gu every day and have no time to get together with me." The elder sister of the Jiang family pulled Jin Ruoyun's hand and scolded her.

When they were still in the boudoir, they had a good relationship and would often make plans to go out to appreciate flowers, go for outings, and attend poetry gatherings and temple fairs.

Ever since Jin Ruoyun got married, she seldom went out. She said that her husband did not allow her to show up in public, so she was obedient and had been doing so for more than ten years.

Jin Ruoyun thought about the stupid things he had done before.

She really wanted to slap herself twice.

"I was wrong. If you organize any poetry gatherings in the future, you must send me a post and I will be there!"

"The sun is rising in the west. You've become a different person, completely transformed. You said it, so don't go back on your word!" Feeling the changes in her good sister, Sister Jiang was really happy for her.

They are all good sisters, Jin Ruoyun didn't want to beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"I'm here today for no other reason than to ask you to find out for me what your niece Shuhe thinks of my family background."

"I see. You have other intentions than drinking. I thought you came here because you missed me. My sincerity was misplaced after all."

Just from hearing this one sentence, Jiang's elder sister understood that he had taken a fancy to Duan Shuhe and wanted her to help mediate.

She teased her on purpose, wanting to see her anxious.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense and help me ask. If this succeeds, you will be the hero."

"You've always been coveting my violet jade hairpin, right? It's yours!" She paid a huge price for it.

When I said I would give it to her, I felt a little painful, but for the sake of her son, she would be willing to give me a hundred more sets.

Seeing that she was investing so much money, Sister Jiang couldn't afford to be a hindrance and agreed immediately.

"Okay! Prepare the hairpins for me and put them in the box. I'll take care of it!" She was not only after the hairpins.

Her father was a first-rank official in the court, so it was easy for him to buy a jade hairpin.

I helped to mediate because I knew Duan Shuhe was also interested.

Ever since she came back from Taiqing Temple that day, she noticed that her niece often smiled foolishly.

From time to time, she looked shy and asked her about the Gu family's situation.

There must be something interesting about this.

The elder sister of the Jiang family has a straightforward and outspoken personality. Jin Yuanyuan likes her very much and stares at her without blinking.

[Aunt Jin is such a nice person. I feel so sad when I think about her committing suicide in the future.]

[It’s all her fault. If the maid hadn’t climbed into her husband’s bed, she wouldn’t have committed suicide.]
