As though realizing as well that he had acted out of bounds, Tang Yueshan quickly took a step back, saying, "Sister-in-law, be careful of your steps. If Ming’er wakes up, I'll have someone inform sister-in-law."
"Please." First Madame Tang slightly nodded her head before going out of the room with the help of her servant girl.
After that, the medical officers continued their treatment of Tang Ming while Tang Yueshan returned to the military camp to interrogate Gu Changqing again. Marquis Xuanping had people in the military camp too, and Tang Yueshan couldn’t just break his promise this afternoon after losing the bet in the morning.
He didn't torture Gu Changqing, but he used the worst interrogation environment.
Gu Changqing was taken to a dark room specially used for questioning the soldiers who committed serious crimes. There were cold torture instruments hanging on the walls around him. Perhaps it had experienced the baptism of too much blood, although it looked clean and tidy now, the disgusting blood stench was hard to get rid of.
"Do you admit your guilt?"
"I admit to breaking Tang Ming's arm."
"And the assassination in the middle of the night?"
"No, it’s not me."
No matter how much Tang Yueshan interrogated him, Gu Changqing always said these exact same words. Despite being severely injured by Old Marquis, he still managed to keep his head clear, which made Tang Yueshan very annoyed.
Gu Changqing admitting to breaking Tang Ming's arm was enough to convict Gu Changqing, but this wasn’t what Tang Yueshan wanted. Tang Ming became half-invalid as a man. Whether the assassin of that night was Gu Changqing or not, it was a fact that everything started because of Gu Changqing.
If Gu Changqing hadn't hurt Tang Ming, how could Tang Ming not defeat an assassin? How could he have suffered such a treacherous assault?
Therefore, Gu Changqing had to pay a price for this, a huge price!
……
Bishui Alley.
After being unconscious for three days, Gu Yan finally woke up.
Yao shi, who was sitting in a chair beside the bed and watching over him, fell asleep with her head against the bedpost.
She was pregnant so it was easy for her to get sleepy. For the past few days, she had been staying by Gu Yan’s side day and night and would fall asleep when she wasn’t paying attention.
Gu Jiao, who had just replaced Gu Yan’s infusion bag with a new one, turned to see that Gu Yan had opened his eyes. She whispered, "You’re awake? How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
Gu Yan shook his head. He didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, only that his body felt a little weak.
He swept his eyes around the room and asked, "Where is this?"
"Granduncle's side." Gu Jiao answered.
When she first brought Gu Yan back, Gu Yan's condition was a bit terrible, and in order not to stimulate Yao shi, she had him stay here. After that, Yao shi learned about it, but decided not to move him.
Naturally, Gu Jiao couldn't tell the whole truth to Yao shi. All she said was that Gu Yan went to buy something alone, got lost and fainted.
Gu Yan had a heart disease and this wasn’t the first time this kind of situation happened, so Yao shi didn't doubt anything. Even so, she was still very distressed and worried about Gu Yan.
Gu Yan turned to see Yao shi sleeping and then opened his mouth to ask something, but he heard Gu Jiao say first, "I didn't say anything."
Four simple words that came out of nowhere, but Gu Yan understood it.
Perhaps this was the so-called tacit understanding of twins.
Gu Yan felt reassured and asked again, "How long have I been sleeping?"
Gu Jiao touched his forehead and replied, "Three days."
"That..." An unknown glint flashed through Gu Yan's eyes. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Jiao lowered the titer a little bit as she said, "I'll make you something to eat. How about millet porridge and egg drop soup?"
"Both are fine." Gu Yan replied with his eyes down.
Gu Jiao nodded, turned around and started walking out. When she got to the door, she paused and measured up her expression for a bit, then she turned her head aside, her gaze on the ground, and said, "That bastard has been sorted out. Don't be afraid anymore, he can’t hurt you again."
You could continue to walk boldly and confidently under the sun.
Gu Yan gave a muffled ‘en’.
Gu Jiao was in no hurry to make his younger brother lively again. Some wounds needed time to heal.
Little did Gu Jiao know, it actually wasn’t Tang Ming’s disgusting actions that Gu Yan first thought about upon waking up. Sure, it might disturb his mind, and it would definitely take a long time to erase them from his memory, but he couldn’t be bothered to think about it for now.
At this moment, his mind was full of a name he heard from Tang Ming before he passed out.
Gu Changqing.
As the youngest son of the Marquis Ding’an Estate, he was no stranger to this name.
He turned out to be Gu Changqing…
He couldn’t help but think back to those painful memories of his childhood.
Because of his weak health, he learned to walk at the age of two and was able to run everywhere at the age of three.
One day, he quietly crawled out of bed during his nap time and came to the small garden of the Marquis Estate. At that time, a boy in black was practicing swordsmanship in the garden.
The boy was less than ten years old, but he was taller than a ten-year-old child. He was wielding a longsword that was extremely inconsistent with his figure, even so he looked valiant and heroic.
That was his big brother.
He knew.
When the boy put away his sword, he eagerly ran over to him, "Big brother, I'm Gu Yan. You can call me Yan'er or Ah Yan! Um... Mother calls me baby, you can call me that if you like."
Seeing him sweating profusely, he pulled off the small bib around his neck and handed it to him, "Here."
But the other party did not take it and glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes, "I’m not your big brother, and you’re not my younger brother."
The look in his eyes, which he didn't understand at the time, only made him feel a little hurt, but when he grew up and thought about it again, he realized it wasn’t just a small wound, but the pain of a knife cutting through his tender little heart.
"You are my big brother! You’re my father's son, and I am also my father's son!"
"But you are not my mother's son, so we can never be brothers!"
The three year old him was abandoned in the cold wind like that.
It really hurt so much that he still remembered it to this day.
But did he give up after that?
He didn't.
He couldn’t understand why his father was his brother's father, but his mother wasn’t his brother's mother, so he went to ask his father.
His father told him, ‘of course he is your big brother and you are his younger brother.’
See, he knew it!
He was very happy.
But when he turned his head, he saw his father rush to his big brother's courtyard, drag his big brother who was practicing calligraphy outside and start beating him up.
"Who told you to bully your little brother? If you dare to talk nonsense like that again, I'll break your legs!"
No, he didn’t want his big brother's legs to be broken!
He rushed over, hugged his father's thigh and told him to stop beating his big brother, "Don't hit my big brother, don't hit him… Don't!"
As his father carried him away, he looked at his big brother kneeling on the ground with a face full of anger and humiliation.
Then he came to find him again.
He growled at him, saying, "Stop coming to me, I hate seeing you! I hate you! I wish there was no you in this family at all!"
