"Are you confused?" Shen Wan leaned on the cushion behind him, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Why is my name clearly called Shen Wan, but my surname is Gu, and my other name is Yan Ning."

Gu Mingzhu remembered a secret that Shen Wan mentioned in the letter.

She said, find the right time to tell her.

"I can tell you that secret now." After Shen Wan finished speaking, he put away the bloodstained handkerchief, then held Gu Mingzhu's cold hand and said, "Azhu, my biological father's name is Gu Pingzhang , Pingzhang of Pingzhang Mansion, my biological mother is named Yu Wenwan, they were once a happy and happy couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman from Anlin Village."

"My father, Gu Pingzhang, was a successful candidate in his early years. Fifteen years ago, he saved Shen Zhengyi and his wife."

"Mrs. Shen gave birth to a daughter. She had a face like a yaksha and was not elegant. When she saw that my mother Yu gave birth to me, I was pretty good-looking, so she had the idea of ​​​​snatching two girls."

Mrs. Gu took a few breaths in shock, covered her mouth, and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Shen Zheng and his team of stewards took me to be the daughter of the Shen family, and threw the real legitimate daughter of the Shen family to my parents. They silenced them, forced them to bury the Shen family's bloodline, and insulted my aunt who had not left the court."

Gu Mingzhu's expression was horrified. Such a secret was far more shocking than the fact that she was deceived by Prince Jin.

She reached out and stroked Shen Wan's face, and wiped Shen Wan's eyes with her thumb, wiping away the tears in Shen Wan's eyes.

Shen Wan hugged Gu Mingzhu's arm tightly with both hands, with a slight smile on her face: "Fortunately, I learned the truth in this life and found my biological parents and five brothers. So, do you want to join my Gu family?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at her strong smile and looked back at her mother.

Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears, raised her hand to touch Shen Wan's back, and said, "Azhu, you make the decision. It was Shen Wan who saved your mother and daughter today. If you come to her parents' knees and respect them, you will save lives." Thanks to his grace, he now has a legitimate identity."

She knew that Shen Wan was helping them.

She gave her identity as the daughter of the Gu family to Gu Mingzhu, and Shen Wan...

"Wan'er." Mrs. Gu stood up, knelt in front of Shen Wan, and kowtowed to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan and Gu Mingzhu were both stunned.

"mother."

"Girl Wan, it doesn't matter if I kowtow to you. If you ask me to die for you in the future, you will be able to bear this feeling. It was you who saved Azhu, and I can't thank you enough."

Mrs. Gu kowtowed to Shen Wan repeatedly.

Shen Wan raised her hand to support Mrs. Gu's body and said, "You don't have to be like this, I also have selfish motives. I am helping A-Zhu, and I also hope that one more person will know the fate of my Gu family being oppressed by the Shen family."

She won't lose by bringing the Gu family into her camp.

Mrs. Gu held Shen Wan's hand tightly and said, "It's up to the pearl to walk on its own. You have offended King Jin and the Liu family for the sake of the pearl. I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult. If necessary, you can always help me." Come to Pingzhang Mansion to find me or my eldest son. My Gu family will answer your every request and will never let you down for your kindness today."

The carriage drove out of the west city gate and slowly stopped on the path in the woods.

Shen Wan pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was lying on the soft couch. She gently stroked her soaked hair and asked, "I sent my parents to the Kufo Temple in Jinzhou. Do you want to go to Kufo Temple too?" Come to the Buddhist temple. There are eminent monks in the Kufo Temple and 20,000 monk soldiers guarding it. People from the Jin Palace and the Liu family dare not act rashly, so it can be your shelter temporarily."

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Shen Wan took out a letter and stuffed it into Gu Mingzhu's lapel: "When you arrive at Kufo Temple, give this letter to a monk named Tian Deng. That is my fourth brother."

"Okay." Gu Mingzhu covered the letter in her lapel and looked at her mother: "Mom, please come back too."

Mrs. Gu's eyes turned red again: "Your eldest brother will escort you to Jinzhou. There is a package in the carriage. Don't waste time on this journey. You must rest more and eat better when you can. I hired a wet nurse for the child... …”

When it came to the latter part, Mrs. Gu's voice was so choked that she could not speak.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again in what year or month.

She didn't dare to say any more, fearing that when she cried, Gu Mingzhu would cry too.

Maternal mothers should not shed tears during confinement, otherwise it will be bad for the eyes and hurt the body from crying.

"Mother is back first." Mrs. Gu turned around, wiped her tears, and got off the carriage first.

Shen Wan put the bracelet she was wearing on Gu Mingzhu's wrist and said: "Azhu, if you pull the purple beads, the bracelet will fire a hidden poisonous needle. This journey will not be peaceful, but I will send someone I’ll protect you secretly, there’s no harm in you wearing an extra self-defense thing.”

Gu Mingzhu raised her hand with some difficulty, looked at the silver-gray bracelet on her wrist, and smiled: "Thank you, Wan'er."

"It's time for me to go home, Azhu, goodbye."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and said softly: "Yan Ning, goodbye."

Shen Wan and Mrs. Gu both got off the carriage.

Both of them stood there and watched Gu Mingzhu's carriage leave. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses.

At this time, Mrs. Gu had wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes flashed with firmness, and she took Shen Yuan's hand and said, "Girl Yuan, I'm going back home first. You can take my carriage back together."

"No, someone will pick me up later. Before Mrs. Gu returns home, I want to remind you a few words." Shen Wan told Mrs. Gu about the handling methods of the Liu family and Prince Jin's Mansion: "Although, we have already done so in Prince Jin's Mansion. We had a bad relationship with His Highness Prince Jin, but outside, Mingzhu died in childbirth, and Mingzhu is not out of danger now. If you and Prince Jin openly quarrel with each other, Concubine Liu will definitely not let Mingzhu go."

"If Mingzhu is accused of something else and the emperor is alerted, it will be very detrimental to Mingzhu."

"I know you are eager for revenge and want to stab that ambitious person, but wait a little longer, wait until I give Mingzhu a legitimate opportunity, wait until she arrives in Jinzhou, and then make plans."

Mrs. Gu's face was red with anger, but after listening to Shen Wan's words, she suppressed her anger: "You are right, for the sake of the pearl, the Gu family cannot sit still and wait for death."

"This is true. Do you know why King Jin did not dare to bring Liu Shunu to the public and give her the status of a concubine." How Liu Shunu's parents died is only known to the Liu family and the emperor.

After she was reborn, she searched for many years before finding any clues.

The emperor loved Concubine Liu so much that he did not disclose the sins of Liu Shunu's parents.

Mrs. Gu's brows moved slightly, and seeing Shen Wan's serious expression, she had a vague guess.

Mrs. Gu lowered her voice and guessed: "When Mingzhu was selected into the palace to accompany Princess Yan Yun in reading, Liu Shunv was also one of them. Later, Liu Shunv was taken away from the palace and she was never seen again. Liu Shunv's father He was once the prime minister of the current dynasty, but he was declared dead in the line of duty. His parents went out of the city to do business and were assassinated by assassins."

"Since it was an assassin who killed Liu Shunu's parents, there is only one reason why Concubine Liu didn't treat her well and even married Liu Shunu to Prince Jin. Instead, she chose my pearl as Princess Jin."

Liu Shunu's father was executed by the emperor because he offended the emperor.

Liu Shunu is the daughter of a guilty minister...
