The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 584 - 584 282 The Truth (Second Update)

Chapter 584: 282 The Truth (Second Update) Chapter 584: 282 The Truth (Second Update) Tang Yueshan seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and took a step back: “Sister-in-law, take care. If Mingming wakes up, I will have someone inform you.”

“I appreciate it.” The Lady Tang gave a small nod, left the room with the support of her maid.

Subsequently, the Medical Officer continued to treat Tang Mingzhi, and Tang Yueshan returned to the Military Camp to interrogate Gu Changqing. Marquis Xuanping had his men in the camp, he couldn’t possibly lose his bet in the morning and break his promise in the afternoon.

He didn’t torture Gu Changqing, but he did employ the worst interrogation environment.

Gu Changqing was taken to a dark room specifically designed for interrogating criminals. Cold torture tools hung on the walls. Despite being cleaned until they gleamed, they couldn’t hide the nauseating smell of blood that they had been soaked in through countless tortures.

“Do you admit your crimes?”

“I admit to cutting off Tang Ming’s arm.”

“What about the assassination attempt at midnight?”

“I deny it, it wasn’t me.”

No matter how Tang Yueshan interrogated him, Gu Changqing always gave the same answers. Even though he had been severely injured by the old Marquis, he kept his mind clear, which irked Tang Yueshan deeply.

Gu Changqing’s confession to severing Tang Ming’s arm was enough to judge him guilty. Yet, it wasn’t what Tang Yueshan wanted. Tang Ming had become half-disabled. No matter whether Gu Changqing was the assassin that night, everything originated from him.

If it wasn’t for Gu Changqing injuring Tang Ming, how could Tang Ming lose to an assassin? How could he be this badly injured?

Gu Changqing must pay for this, a huge price!

Bishui Alley.

After being unconscious for three days, Gu Yan awakened finally.

Lady Yao was watching over him, sitting on a chair by the bed and had fallen asleep, her head resting against the bed’s post.

She was pregnant and getting sleepy easily. In the past few days, she had been staying with Gu Yan day and night, and she fell asleep unintentionally.

Gu Jiao had just changed the drip for Gu Yan and turned to see him awaken. She whispered, “You’re awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere where you’re discomforted?”

Gu Yan shook his head. He was not uncomfortable, just feeling a little weak.

He glanced around the room and asked, “Where is this?”

“At uncle’s house,” Gu Jiao said.

When they first brought Gu Yan back, his condition was too miserable. To avoid upsetting Lady Yao, they brought him to this place. After Lady Yao found out, she didn’t move him either.

Speaking to Lady Yao, Gu Jiao naturally couldn’t tell the full truth. She simply said that Gu Yan went out to buy something and fainted when he got lost.

Gu Yan had a heart condition, and this kind of situation had happened before. Lady Yao had no suspicions and was just upset and worried for Gu Yan.

Gu Yan turned his head to see the sleeping Lady Yao, opened his mouth to ask something, but heard Gu Jiao say, “I didn’t say.”

Three simple words, without context, but Gu Yan understood.

Maybe that was the tacit understanding between twins.

With a peace of mind, Gu Yan asked, “How long have I been asleep?”

Gu Jiao touched his forehead, said, “Three days.”

“Then…” A glint of something flashed through Gu Yan’s eyes, but he did not continue.

Gu Jiao turned the drip to a slower speed, asked, “I’ll make you something to eat. What about millet porridge and Egg Flower Soup?”

“Both are good.” Gu Yan answered with downcast eyes.

Gu Jiao nodded, turned around to leave but stopped at the door. Turning slightly, she looked down at the ground nearby, “That bastard has been taken care of. You don’t need to be afraid, he won’t hurt you anymore.”

You can finally step into the sunshine without fear.

Gu Yan quietly hummed in affirmation.

Gu Jiao did not rush to get her brother back to his lively self. Some wounds would take time to heal.

What Gu Jiao did not know was that the first thing Gu Yan cared about after waking up wasn’t Tang Ming’s disgusting actions. He would care, and it would take a while to erase those incidents from his heart, but not at this moment.

At present, his mind was filled with a name he had heard from Tang Ming before he passed out.

Gu Changqing.

As the young master of the Marquis Residence, he was, of course, no stranger to this name.

It turns out he was Gu Changqing…

He recalled the unbearable memories from his childhood.

Due to his weak body, he had learned to walk only when he was two years old and started running around when he was three.

One day, he sneakily climbed off the bed during his nap and went to the small garden of the Marquis residence. There, a boy dressed in black was practicing swordplay.

The boy was under ten years old, yet taller than most children his age. Wielding a long sword that seemed too big for his size, he exuded righteousness and was full of valor.

That was his older brother.

He knew.
