“In order to please her, the Eldest Prince even went to Wuliang Temple to pay respects to Gu Ce’s memorial tablet!”

Everyone was shocked again.

The tea shop fell silent for a moment, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

“…” Gu Yanfei looked at the few scholars at the table quietly, and her pupils deepened bit by bit.

When the wind blew, a few strands of black hair on her cheek were blown up by the wind. A few strands brushed against her snow-white and flawless face, causing her to be covered in a faint layer of sadness.

Gu Ce’s notoriety had already lasted for two lifetimes. Everyone called him a sinner of the Great Jin Dynasty and wished that he could never be reincarnated.

In her previous life, she couldn’t even protect herself and was helpless. She could only listen to others scold, criticize, and belittle him…

“Slam!”

Wei Jiaoniang slammed the table and pointed at the few scholars. “Bookworm, what nonsense are you talking about!”

“To think that after reading so many books, you only know how to follow the crowd. 1 think the more you read, the more confused you become!”

“People like you are people who have pa.s.sed the imperial examination. In the future, when you go to a place to be an official, you will only create some false and wrong cases to harm others and yourself!”

Wei Jiaoniang had heard her grandfather, Imperial Duke Wei, mention the battle nine years ago.

Her grandfather said that the matter of Gu Ce surrendering to the enemy back then was actually very suspicious. The late Emperor was afraid of the n.o.bles and could have used Gu Ce’s matter to show off to the other n.o.bles. However, the late Emperor didn’t do so. Instead, he gently let it go and didn’t even pin a clear crime on Gu Ce.

Something was amiss. There must be something wrong.

In his opinion, the late Emperor was most likely guilty.

All the scholars at the table looked at Wei Jiaoniang.

The scholar in blue frowned tightly. He was first angry, then disdainful. He snorted coldly and said, “How ignorant, there’s actually someone who wants to protect a sinner who surrendered to the enemy!”

“We’re men. Don’t argue with a woman who doesn’t know right from wrong,” another scholar added.

A few of his cla.s.smates wanted to comfort Scholar Han, but he suddenly stood up. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his determined expression seemed to have made up his mind.

“Brother Han!” The scholar in blue looked at Scholar Han worriedly, afraid that he had been agitated.

“I’ll file a pet.i.tion with the court!” Scholar Han took a deep breath and said with determination, “For my deceased family!”

Since Gu Ce was dead, he could neither question him nor watch him suffer with his own eyes.

But there was one thing he could do now!

He couldn’t watch as a sinner like Gu Ce, who deserved to go to h.e.l.l, was rehabilitated!

Otherwise, what was the use of reading so many books?!

“Wait!” The scholar in blue hurriedly stood up and looked into Scholar Han’s determined eyes. “I’ll go with you!”

“Let’s go together!”

“How can we sit back and do nothing when the Eldest Prince is going to stand up for Gu Ce!”

The other scholars at the same table also stood up indignantly and echoed. Even the few scholars at the table beside them said that they wanted to go together. Some even said that they wanted to bring their cla.s.smates along.

These scholars acted as if they didn’t see Wei Jiaoniang. They surrounded Scholar Han and left. Their blood boiled, and their eyes lit up.

The other tea patrons in the shop were dumbfounded. They never expected things to develop in this direction. Right on the heels of that, the tea shop was in an uproar again, and the air was filled with an abnormal excitement.

What did they mean?! Wei Jiaoniang frowned, and her eyes darkened.

She suddenly stood up and said anxiously, “Yanfei, I’ll go back and look for Grandpa!”

Wei Jiaoniang also knew the severity of the matter. The book business was popular. If these scholars gathered together, the matter would blow up. It would probably cause a storm in the court.

This matter had nothing to do with Gu Yanfei. She was the one who dragged her into the water to help Lu Qin. She had to take responsibility.

Moreover, it was clearly the Hua family that wanted to harm Lu Qin. Now, the guilty party was complaining first!

She had to look for her grandfather quickly. She couldn’t sit back and wait for death. She and Gu Yanfei would fall into a pa.s.sive situation!

The more Wei Jiaoniang thought about it, the more anxious she became. She got off the horse nimbly. Gu Yanfei looked at her and thought for a moment. In the end, she didn’t stop her.

“Yanfei, see you later.” Wei Jiaoniang hurriedly rode away.

Gu Yanfei slowly finished the barley tea in her cup. After paying for the tea, she led her Akhal-Teke horse towards the Myriad Herb Hall.

Outside the Myriad Herb Hall, the onlookers dispersed a little. There were still more than a dozen people poking their heads out.

On the streets, pa.s.sersby saw the commotion and gathered around curiously, asking what had happened.

These noises didn’t reach Gu Yanfei’s ears.

Gu Yanfei stopped outside the door and turned to look into the Myriad Herb Hall. She immediately caught sight of the outstanding Gu Yunrong in the front hall, who was comforting Madam Hua and Master Hua with a serious expression.

“…” Gu Yunrong’s brows twitched as if she had sensed something. She turned her head and looked accurately in Gu Yanfei’s direction. Their eyes met quietly in midair.

Their eyes were very calm, like a pool of still water. They looked at each other quietly, as if they were weighing each other, and stuck together silently.

Gu Yanfei smiled at Gu Yunrong.

The sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves above and landed on her face. When the wind blew, the light and shadow swayed and jumped on her small face, making her smile look even more vivid.

This smile was too bright and vivid, but Gu Yunrong felt uncomfortable.

It was that look again! It was as if she was looking at her, but also as if she wasn’t looking at her at all.

The smile on Gu Yanfei’s lips deepened. She didn’t care about Gu Yunrong’s reaction at all. What she was looking at was the luck around Gu Yunrong.

It had only been 20 days since they last met, but the black aura mixed in the golden golden aura had become even more numerous. They intertwined with each other, and wisps of black aura wrapped around the golden aura like a spider web..
