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

Gu Boqing used too much force and the legs of the chair were broken.

The tip of the wood pierced into Gu Xingcheng's eyes, and in an instant, tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

He covered his eyes and howled heartbreakingly, "Ah! My eyes, my eyes!"

Sang Xiaowan broke through the guards and saw that her son's eyes were blinded. She ran over like crazy and threw herself on Gu Xingcheng.

"Xing Cheng, Xing Cheng! My son!"

"Gu Boqing, you are too cruel. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could you have the heart to do such a cruel thing to our son!"

Gu Boqing threw away the back of the chair he was holding with a guilty conscience. He stiffened his neck and said:

"He was the one who stole the money from our family first, and then he failed to frame someone else and got framed instead. How can I not beat him up for being so stupid?"

"He won't be able to take the imperial examinations in the future. He's no different from a waste. He's just blind. It won't affect anything."

He felt guilty about injuring his son's eyes, but not too much.

Gu Xingcheng can no longer be an official, and he and Sang Xiaowan are in this situation, so his love for their child naturally decreases.

After the doctor examined him, he shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, Master Gu, your son's eye was stabbed too deeply and he bled too much. He will definitely not be able to see from now on."

When he heard that he was blind, Gu Xingcheng's heart was completely broken.

He lay powerlessly on the bed like a lifeless puppet, with tears and blood streaming from the corners of his eyes.

When Gu Xu heard the news, the palace examination had already ended and he was the top scorer.

At this moment, there is a sense of pleasure in revenge.

In his previous life, he was blinded, locked up and tortured, and his wife was killed by Gu Xingcheng.

He walked out of the door, looked at the sky where the dark clouds had dissipated to reveal the sun, and felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

"It turns out that there really is a cycle of cause and effect in this world."

Ever since he overheard Yuanyuan's thoughts, those words have been surrounding him like a nightmare.

He was always tense, not daring to make any wrong step. He studied harder than ever before. Although he was not good at speaking, he tried hard to make friends and build good relationships with others, just because he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

Now that the dust has settled, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to be so tense.

"Mr. Number One Scholar, the time has come. Let me help you change your clothes, as you will have to parade through the streets soon." The young eunuch held the brocade robe worn by the number one scholar and waited respectfully with his head lowered.

"Okay, get undressed." Gu Xu smiled easily. Except for the time when he married Duan Shuhe, he rarely smiled so sincerely since then.

On the street, Jin Yuanyuan was riding on Ding Mo's shoulders. When she saw the team beating drums and gongs, she pointed excitedly to the front.

"It's big brother, it's big brother! Big brother looks so good in the top scholar robe, mother, sister-in-law, third brother, come and look."

Gu Xu was wearing a bright red top scholar robe with patterns embroidered with gold thread, which showed his noble status. The top scholar hat on his head seemed to carry countless expectations of glory.

He was full of ambition and had studied hard for decades just for this moment.

Looking at Gu Xu who was full of vigor and vitality, Duan Shuhe was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Xu saw them and waved to them. When he saw Duan Shuhe, he threw the red silk in his hand into her hands so that she could share in the joy.

The little girls around saw this scene and were extremely envious.

Such a handsome top scholar only has eyes for one person, making others envious.

Duan Shuhe was holding the red silk, her face blushing and her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man sitting on the tall horse. That was her man.

When Jin Yuanyuan saw this, she laughed foolishly.

Hehe~ She bumped into me again.

The parade of the top scholar was extremely lively, and Gu Xu was so handsome that a lot of people gathered to watch, and the scene was packed with people.

Gu Boqing looked at Gu Xu who was surrounded and admired by everyone, and he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If he had known that Gu Xu was so promising, he would have been nicer to him.

The next day, Jin Chi came down from court and a colleague came to talk to him about military affairs.

"General Jin, Liaodong is ready to make a move again. Do you have any good ideas? The national treasury is tight, and it is impossible to send troops to deter them. Do you have any good ideas?"

Jin Chi straightened his robe and held his head high like a fighting rooster.

"Hahaha, yes that's right, my grandson Gu Xu is the new top scholar this time."

Colleagues: "There are a few foreigners circling outside the city, refusing to leave. They look shifty and aggressive, could they be spies sent by other countries?!"

Jin Chi: "Hey, Lao Zhang, how do you know that my grandson is the new top scholar~"

Colleague: "It's my grandson's full moon celebration, Lao Jin, you must come."

Jin Chi: "Your grandson is just celebrating his first month of life, but mine is already the top scholar in the imperial examination, hahahahahaha."

These days, no matter what his colleagues talked to him about, he would always talk about Gu Xu.

There was no other way. His family had been a long line of military generals, and there was only one civil servant. He had to show off.

At the Jin family’s dinner table, Gu An looked at Gu Xu expectantly.

"Brother, are you going to work for the palace in the future? When you come back in the evening, can you bring me some hemp flowers from West Street?"

Jin Yuanyuan poked his head and said, "Third brother only knows how to eat. Big brother is going there to do serious work, not to play!"

She turned to look at Gu Xu with a flattering look on her face.

"Hey, brother, the crystal shrimp dumplings, lotus leaf chicken, and fried eel noodles in Yu Man Lou on West Street are also good. If you pass by, just take these."

Gu An pouted and muttered softly, "You only think about eating, and you're still blaming me, huh."

Gu Xu held back his smile and patted his younger brother and sister's heads.

"Haha, big brother has remembered everything and will definitely bring it back to you."

Jin Ruoyun picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks and gave him instructions.

"Xu'er, you can't be as comfortable in the palace as at home. The emperor has taken a liking to you and given you a sixth-rank editorial position, so you will be closer to the emperor. You must be more careful with your words and actions and don't make any mistakes."

Serving the king is like serving a tiger. She hoped her son could go a long way, so she gave him a few reminders.

These are all good advice. Gu Xu looked much more serious and nodded.

"Yes, mother, your son has noted it all down."

In fact, his ambition is to be an official in a remote area, understand the people's sentiments, and start from the grassroots.

But for now, I have to do my job well. If I can't even do a good job of editing, how can I be transferred to another position?

He has plans and ideas for the future. In fact, Jin Ruoyun is most confident in her eldest son. He has never given her any worries since he was a child.

It was Gu An who made her really worried.

"An'er, mother wants to ask you, did you skip school again to steal bird eggs yesterday?"

Gu An shrank his neck guiltily, "Mom...you...how did you know?"

Could it be!

He looked at Yuanyuan beside him, suspecting that she was the one who told the secret.

Jin Yuanyuan was speechless and rolled her eyes.

[Why are you looking at me? I told mom that, Third brother, don't be a scoundrel to a good person. You skipped school and got yourself covered in mud, and you still want to be a scoundrel to me!]

After hearing his sister's thoughts, Gu An knew it wasn't her, but it didn't matter at the moment.

Jin Ruoyun said while eating.

"You are too impetuous and have no fixed mind. I am going to the Taoist temple to practice meditation and provide relief. An'er, please come with me."
