Chapter 36 The Truth
The tide was surging in the middle of the night, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the lights were shining on the east bank of the river, and a boat was moored here. The evening breeze blew across the deck, and it also fluttered with a quiet and elegant sound of the piano.
Gu Weirui woke up from her sleep and heard the familiar and unfamiliar piano sound. She knew that this song was called "Fishermen and Woodcutter's Q&A", and expressed a free and unrestrained state of mind with "the towering mountains and the vast water". This is Ji Liao's favorite song, which she hasn't heard in a long time.
The free and easy mind shown in the sound of the piano is now greater than when he played the piano in the past. There was a light blue skirt and close-fitting clothes beside the bed. Gu Weirui felt warm when he saw this, and changed his clothes first and prepared to go out. When he arrived at the door, a big cloak was hanging. Gu Weirui stopped and found that his body was very cold. After thinking about it, he put the big cloak on it. She went on the deck and realized that it was definitely a correct decision. The night wind blew into her collar, which made her shivering unconsciously. She couldn't help but pull the collar tighter, and she felt much better.
At the same time, she felt Ji Liao's carefulness and thought about preparing a cloak for her in advance. She also thought that Ji Liao must have been working hard for her these days, and now she has time to relax, so she played the piano and relaxed herself. Tears were almost shedding in her eyes, but she still endured it.
The sound of the piano was just about to come.
"The dew is heavy at night, you should rest on the boat for a while, but since you are out, let's have a conversation." Ji Liao clapped his hands, and someone came to take away the guqin, and quickly changed into a carpet and a coffee table, with juice and exquisite pastries on it, all of which were popular in Jiangzuo.
Gu Weirui is from Jiangzuo.
The two sat down opposite each other. The carpet was made of high-quality wool, which directly isolated the wet and coldness of the deck. The wind came slowly, and even without stars or moon, it made people feel comfortable.
Gu Weirui said: "Thank you Ji Liao."
Ji Liao smiled and said, "Of course you have to thank me, and you can only promise yourself."
Gu Weirui blushed and said, "I don't want to allow others either."
Ji Liao pinched a piece of pastry for Gu Weirui and handed it to her, "It was the old man's birthday the day before yesterday, and I couldn't stay in Siji Villa. I told the old man that he was going down the mountain to find a wife, so he was willing to let me go down the mountain, so if you don't go back to Siji Villa with me, he will definitely break my legs."
Gu Weirui chuckled and said, "Then I won't go. When the owner of the village broke your legs, I can take care of you for the rest of my life, and you can't go anywhere."
While she was talking, she suddenly coughed, and even couldn't hold the pastry in her hand and slid down directly. Ji Liao grabbed the pastry with one hand and grabbed Gu Weirui's hand with the other. The mellow internal force continued to be sent into Gu Weirui's body to dispel the chill for her.
This way, Gu Weirui was much more afflicted. She had excellent medical skills and immediately knew something was wrong with her body. She couldn't help but say sadly: "I'm afraid I can't even take good care of myself."
Ji Liao said gently: "Don't be depressed, there must be a way. We haven't even driven away that dark wish. You are even more cold poison."
Although Gu Weirui roughly judged that the cold poison had penetrated into the bone marrow based on her own experience, she didn't want to show her disappointment and frustration, which made Ji Liao unhappy. Zhan Yan said: "Of course, I am the best doctor in the world."
Seeing her cheering up, Ji Liao smiled and said, "Of course you are the best. Let's talk about the Ming Vow."
Gu Weirui's expression changed, and then sighed: "Do you know, the past period is like a dream. I actually know everything, but I still sympathize with her and want to avenge her. Her birthday is the same as me, but I only make me one round."
Ji Liao then understood that the Zhang family lady was also born in the Yin year and Yin month. Gu Weirui happened to have the same birthday as her. No wonder there was a connection in the dark. He said again: "But why did Mingyuan come to you at that time?"
Gu Weirui said: "It should be caused by us when we saved Jingzhe. Jingzhe had a ray of affection for her. After her death, she was obsessed with her. In addition, our birthday was such a coincidence. Finally, through that ray of affection, the Mingyou brought an introduction to me. However, those twenty-four solar terms gathered together that day, but they had little to do with her. I felt that other people were tampering with each other, but she also saw this opportunity and suddenly made a ray of Misfortune, which also allowed me to take this opportunity to refine the power of Misfortune."
Speaking of this, she felt sad. Although the death of the others was not her original intention, it was also her move. She had no feelings at the time, but now she looked back, she was very sad. Because she knew most of those people and had saved some of them, they were afraid that they would not believe that they would kill them until they died.
Ji Liao sighed and said, "Weirui, don't blame yourself, that's not your fault, let alone in terms of sin, all of us in the twenty-four solar terms are heavier than you." He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Weirui's eyes.
Gu Weirui said: "I'm afraid that this matter will eventually affect you. They all have extraordinary backgrounds and are dead now. Their families may always track you down."
Ji Liao said: "It's okay, this is what I should take on."
He did not take this matter seriously. Even if it was indeed a trouble, regret was useless, and there was always a solution to the world's affairs.
Gu Weirui saw Ji Liao's calm expression and felt much more at ease.
Ji Liao asked again: "Do you know what happened to that Mu Qing?"
Gu Weirui hesitated for a while before saying, "Ten years ago, the head of the Zhang family rescued a stunning woman. That was Mu Qing. He had never fallen in love with other women since the head of the Zhang family's wife passed away, but that Mu Qing was different. The head of the Zhang family was moved by her. No matter what she had requested, the head of the Zhang family agreed, that it was the Peach Blossom Small Zhu, which was originally the residence of Zhang family's Miss Zhang Momo, and in the end he had to let Mu Qing live there.
Zhang Momo's resentment is not just because of this, because she fell in love with a man since she was a child, that is, her father. Mu Qing took away the head of the Zhang family, which is what she most resents.
Her hatred for Mu Qing was actually very hidden, but the head of the Zhang family discovered it and scolded her, but the head of the Zhang family did not realize that Zhang Momo had a relationship with her. She had secretly harmed Mu Qing many times, but Mu Qing was very smart and resolved it every time. Later, she asked Jingzhe to find an extremely powerful drug for her. It was Mid-Autumn Festival that day, and everyone in the Zhang family gathered together. She deliberately placed medicine in the water for cooking. As long as the person fell asleep, it was difficult to wake up. She also let Jingzhe secretly control a group of people in the martial arts world, pretending to be bandits, and preparing to rob the Zhang family in the middle of the night, and used the name of Mu Qing's internal and external cooperation.
That day she deliberately pretended to be sick and did not attend the party. She thought that in the middle of the night, she would wait for the bandits to come and ask Jingzhe to come out and retreat them. But she would definitely wake up some people before this and learn about Mu Qing’s conspiracy. Of course, she knew that this plan was not very clever, but she didn’t believe that her father would expose her. Mu Qing would have to be driven away by that time. Otherwise, her father would really be willing to send her daughter to a state of doom for the sake of that woman, and she would be willing to die."
Ji Liao nodded slightly. This was indeed not a clever plan, but it could indeed achieve the purpose of Miss Zhang's family. Because the result of this conspiracy was to choose, let the head of the Zhang family make a choice between his daughter and Mu Qing.
