Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Shu Family (9)

Gu Qingheng originally didn’t want to visit the Shu Family so soon, but now he had already arrived at their doorstep, and he truly missed his uncle and grandfather, so he went anyway.

Shu Xing, the old master of the Shu Family, was over sixty, with two sons born earlier and then a daughter, Shu Manzhi, whom he cherished as if she were a treasure. Especially after his wife passed away, that daughter became his intimate little cotton-padded jacket. Who would have known that she would marry a non-human and then tragically end up sending a white-haired person to usher off a black-haired one?

"Grandfather," Gu Qingheng, upon seeing the old man, could no longer maintain his composure and knelt down on the ground.

"Good child..." Shu Xing came over and hugged Gu Qingheng, both crying like children, "I thought I would never see you again..." The old man, once a wise Imperial Teacher and advisor to the empire, was now just an ordinary old man, crying tears of joy.

Shu Tongzhi and Shu Jingzhi found it hard to intervene, as they had shed tears themselves. Besides, after holding back for three years, a release was needed, so they let the grandfather and grandson cry their hearts out before helping them back up.

"Your mother, she’s been strong-willed and decisive since she was little," Shu Xing sighed, leaning back into his chair with Gu Qingheng’s support, "When she decided to marry Gu Sheng, she wouldn’t say if things weren’t going well because it was her choice. Later, when things became unbearable, she resolutely left a separation letter... She always had her own way of doing things..."

Gu Qingheng simply listened; although he had heard these words many times before, he never found them tiresome.

"When you had your accident back then, I thought if I were to pass away and go below, your mother would definitely blame me. Fortunately, you recovered, and even if I die now, I can do so with peace of mind..."

"Dad, what are you saying?" rushed Shu Tongzhi to stop him, "Now Qingheng is back, things will get better..."

"Yes, Grandfather, you haven’t even met your granddaughter-in-law yet. Why talk about death?" Gu Qingheng nodded along, "Your granddaughter-in-law can cook many delicious dishes. You don’t know, Dao Xuzi, the old man, stayed at our house just because he couldn’t resist her cooking and wouldn’t leave..."

"Really?" Shu Xing’s eyes widened at the news, "Better than your grandmother’s cooking?"

"She can’t be compared to Grandmother, but she likes to experiment and always makes new dishes we haven’t tasted before." Gu Qingheng would never speak ill of his grandmother, but he wouldn’t say Xinxin was second to anyone else either.

"Well then, I should meet her," Shu Xing combed his beard thoughtfully, "and see what kind of girl has got my grandson so protective..."

Gu Qingheng smiled.

"Right, you’re called Gu Qingheng now?" Shu Xing suddenly looked up.

"Yes," Gu Qingheng nodded, "Surname Gu, with the given name Yu and courtesy name Qingheng."

"Very well," Shu Xing nodded. That was the name he had chosen, after all. "So what’s your next move?"

"Grandfather, the deaths of my mother and grandmother were both very mysterious," Gu Qingheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Remember, no matter what you do, the Shu Family will always have your back..." They too felt that the deaths were suspicious, but with the Gu Family involved, investigation was too difficult.

Tears welled up in Gu Qingheng’s eyes once again.

As for Yang Ruxin, though she didn’t show it on her face, she kept track mentally; that kid had been gone for over thirty-six hours... it was approaching seventy-two hours now...

Wasn’t he supposed to come back within three days? It had been three days already; why wasn’t he back yet? Damn it, could he have been bewitched by that little demon?
