When the news of Gu Changqingʼs acquittal spread, it caused a great uproar in the capital. Too many details were not clear to people. For example, the torment that Tang Ming received in the Supreme Commander Estate. However, putting that aside, Gu Changqing still cut off one of Tang Ming’s arms.

How could he be acquitted?

Old Marquis felt strange too, afraid that Eunuch Weiʼs news was wrong.

He hurried back to the Marquis Ding’an Estate. As a result, he found that Gu Changqing really came back and was washing in his room.

After staying in the torture chamber for so many days, his heart was like dead ashes and he no longer care about his image. It was only after looking at the bronze mirror that he realized how terrifying his appearance was when he went to Bishui Alley to find Gu Yan that night.

In the middle of the night, not treating him as a ghost was due to Gu Yanʼs strong mentality

After Gu Changqing took a bath and changed clothes, washing his hair and shaving his face, the handsome and elegant Commandant returned.

Except there were small bruises on the corners of his mouth which were from Old Marquis’s lashes.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin also came over. They came directly after skipping classes at Qinghe Academy, but at this point, no one was going to criticize them.

”Eldest brother!”

Gu Chenglin saw Gu Changqing coming out of the washroom, and threw himself at him without thinking. He hugged him, breathing the familiar smell of his body and the gentle scent of honeylocust soap, and his nose felt sour, ”Eldest brother... I thought Iʼd never see you again... I heard that you were going to be executed... I can only think of wanting to kill Tang Ming... Itʼs all his fault...”

Hearing this, Gu Changqing and Gu Chengfeng both paused. Did Gu Chenglin know about Tang Ming’s matter too?

Gu Chenglin choked with sobs, ”Why must he bully the Gu Family Army when he had nothing to do? He’s a villain! He’s an asshole! He was taught a lesson, and it was his own martial arts that wasnʼt good. His skills are inferior to others, but he blames it on eldest brother... If it werenʼt for him, eldest brother wouldnʼt have been imprisoned... ”

Okay, he was talking about that.

The two people breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Changqingʼs obviously slimmer body, and his eyes dimmed. He was still upset with his eldest brother for all his efforts to safeguard Gu Yan in every way, but in the end, he couldn’t bear to see his eldest brother being tugged about by Gu Chenglin when he was still injured all over. He grumpily pulled Gu Chenglin away, saying, ”Come here, eldest brother has just come out and his body is still weak. Stop clinging to him all the time!”

”Oh.” Gu Chenglin wiped his tears, loosened his arms, and looked at Gu Changqing tearfully, ”Eldest brother, you’ve lost weight.”

Gu Chengfeng said, ”Then go to the kitchen and tell people to cook something delicious!”

Gu Chenglin finally recognized the rather unfriendly tone of Gu Chengfeng, asking, ”Second brother, what are you angry about? Shouldnʼt you be happy that eldest brother is back?”

Right? What was he angry about? Wasnʼt he just treating Gu Yan better than he and Gu Chenglin?

Gu Chengfeng stormed out!

Gu Changqing：“…”

Gu Chenglin：“…”

”You go out as well. I want to talk to your eldest brother.” Old Marquis told Gu Chenglin.

”Oh.” Gu Chenglin didnʼt dare not listen to his grandfatherʼs instructions. He gave Gu Changqing a reluctant look and whispered, ”Eldest brother, Iʼll come and see you again later.”

”En.” Gu Changqing nodded in response.

After Gu Chenglin went out, Old Marquis asked the servants to step down as well.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The pair of grandfather and grandson remained mute.

Looking at Gu Changqingʼs injuries, Old Marquis also felt a little uncomfortable. However, if he didnʼt let Gu Changqing suffer at that time, Tang Yueshan would be the one to do it.

He at least could control the damage that would be inflicted on him, but it was hard to say if it had been Tang Yueshan.

In fact, thanks to his injuries, Tang Yueshan believed that he could not be the assassin who cut off Tang Mingʼs sac that night.

However, both grandfather and grandson were of the same disposition. They had a strange sense of self-esteem, and never defended themselves.

Old Marquis cut to the chase, ”What on earth is really going on with Tang Ming? Why did Tang Yueshan release you all of a sudden? Why did he even hold on to you before?”

As for why Gu Changqing broke Tang Mingʼs arm in anger, and why he escaped from prison, Old Marquis had given up questioning the former, while for the latter, Old Marquis believed that Gu Changqing chased after the assassin.

Of these three questions, Gu Changqing only answered the second one, ”Tang Yueshan caught the assassin who broke into the military camp that night and found clues from the assassin. He learned that I was innocent, and that the person behind everything was trying to sow discord between the Marquis Dingʼan Estate and the Supreme Commander Estate. He didnʼt want to fall for the other party’s trap, so he released me. ”

”How do you know about it?” Old Marquis asked.

”He told me himself.” Gu Changqing answered.

This was the truth.

However, not all of it.

Tang Yueshan also told him that he was drugged before he attacked Tang Ming, and reminded him to see a physician quickly. .

At the time, he was at a loss. He simply had no idea why Tang Yueshan made this statement.

Tang Yueshan also said that Tang Ming didnʼt mean to do what he did as he was also drugged by others. He hoped that the two of them wouldn’t fall for the treachery of the mastermind behind the scenes and turn against each other.

Gu Changqing knew all too well what kind of person Tang Ming was. His actions could never be the effect of being drugged.

It was only on his way back home that he gradually figured out that it should be his sister who had used some method to deceive Tang Yueshan.

Regarding the assassins, Gu Jiao found Gu Changqing and asked him to set fire to the torture chamber and create an illusion that he had escaped, luring the assassins to frame him.

Tang Yueshan told him this morning that the assassin had been disposed of, and Gu Changqing only thought that Tang Yueshan had caught the real assassin.

Gu Changqing didnʼt tell Old Marquis about Gu Jiaoʼs involvement in the matter.

Old Marquis had never fought with the assassin. He had no idea how cunning the assassin was. Naturally it didn’t surprise him that Tang Yueshan could catch the other party with his ability, so he didnʼt suspect anything.

Although Old Marquis was eager to know what the contradictions between Gu Changqing and Tang Ming actually were, Old Marquis could only feel helpless as Gu Changqing refused to talk.

After urging him to take a good rest and not to go to the military camp for a few days, Old Marquis got up and headed out.

With such a major thing happening, not only did Tang Yueshan want to find out who was behind all this, he also wanted to figure out who was stabbing him in the back.

Not long after Old Marquis went out, Gu Chengfeng came again.

After being depressed for a while, he remembered his business and came to ask Gu Changqing for clarification.

”Eldest brother, do you know that our sister knows the Empress Dowager?” He asked.

Gu Changqing was wiping his long sword. When he heard this, he looked at him, and his eyes stayed on him for a moment. He then continued to wipe the long sword with his head down and said, ”En, I know.”

…That was it?

Could you be a bit more generous with your answer?

Can I still get out that girlʼs secret?

”I saw it in person!” Gu Chengfeng said poutily.
