The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670: The Old Fox (2)

Gu Sheng was singled out by the big boss for questioning, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was indeed about that rebellious son. Why hadn’t that rebellious son died? How could his life be so fortunate? But after all, being an old fox, no matter how cruel his heart was, his face seemed unaffected, and he hurried to his feet to salute: ”Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, for gaining another good general.” Although inwardly he was seething with anger, he had no choice but to utter such words, ”Our Daxuan is vast and rich in resources, and naturally blessed with outstanding talents, this is all heaven’s protection for our Daxuan, the Emperor’s fortune.”

After all, the hot topic was Gu Qingheng, and people hadn’t said he was Gu Ye. Even if he didn’t change his name, he hadn’t admitted it was his rebellious son, so he naturally wouldn’t claim it onto himself.

However, he couldn’t believe the Emperor didn’t know the truth, but since everyone was feigning ignorance, he could only go along with the act.

It seems like he must think of a way to deal with that rebellious son; he doesn’t believe the other party simply wants to be loyal to the Imperial Court, surely intending revenge on the Gu Family, he must quickly consult with his father on a strategy.

”Haha...” The Emperor laughed, seemingly very satisfied, ”I think so too. This time, Old General Peng sacrificed himself for the country, his granddaughter was in distress, and it was Gu Qingheng who led a rescue operation...” But inwardly, he cursed an old fox.

Gu Sheng subsequently bowed his head like a quail, having said what he was supposed to, unwilling to utter another word.

”Chenchen, I’ve heard Gu Qingheng’s wife is also quite formidable?” The Emperor didn’t pursue questioning Gu Sheng but instead turned his gaze to the Crown Prince. He’s always been conflicted about this son because the Crown Prince was appointed by the late Emperor. He even knows if the late Emperor hadn’t passed, the throne would likely have directly passed to the grandson, and he, as a son, would immediately become the Emperor Emeritus.

Fortunately, this son is very sensible, hasn’t discovered any selfish intentions. For instance, that mining map, few people know about it; even in the Shu Family, very few are aware of the truth of the rumors. So, if he secretly mined himself, it would have been hard for him to detect immediately, yet he submitted it at the first opportunity.

He knew he would show his loyalty, but didn’t expect it to be so thorough.

Thus, his suspicion towards this son diminished significantly, naturally finding him more agreeable.

While he was increasingly displeased with the Gu Family, back then, the Shu Family treated such an important item as part of a dowry, letting Shu Manzhi bring it into the Gu Family. Could it be that people from the Gu Family discovered it and wanted to monopolize, therefore killed Shu Manzhi?

In any case, when that mining map surfaced, various scenarios began to be speculated in the Emperor’s mind, suspecting everyone, and then overturning suspicions. After all, Shu Manzhi has been dead for years, the Shu Family has long ceased contact with the Court, only educating and nurturing people in Tongcheng. So, although they have produced numerous Scholars, to this day, they haven’t produced any outstanding talents; few Juren exist, let alone Jinshi or Champions.

Within the Shu Family disciples, a few officials have emerged, but the highest now is only a seventh-rank county official, and the Shu Family’s business is quite decent, with many shops, but compared to real merchants, they fall short, and recently they seem to be striving for Imperial Merchant status, but apparently haven’t made the shortlist, so overall it’s just a matter of circumstance.
