It was not until he returned to the Marquis' Mansion that Gu Jue finally understood why Cha Cha was hesitant to speak.

Looking at Liu'er who was busy doing this and that for her, Gu Jue knew without even thinking that Liu'er must have gotten into trouble.

Otherwise, according to Liu'er's personality, as soon as she comes back, she should be greeted by all kinds of interesting things, plus complaints that she was not brought along.

This time when he came back, there was neither fun nor complaints. Now he was even busy for her quietly.

Gu Jue sat on the stool, took a sip of water, and reminded lightly.

"Now that there are only two of us in the room, we can talk."

Liu Er froze instantly.

When she turned around and was about to hide it, she met Gu Jue's eyes, which were penetrating, gentle, and smiling.

Seeing that look, Liu Er felt as if all the lies could not be concealed in front of her sister. Those eyes even made her feel that even if she committed a serious crime, it was just a small matter in her sister's eyes. It seemed that no matter what happened, her sister would tolerate her, forgive her, and even be her backer and protect her.

Liu'er's eyes were slightly red. She walked forward, sat on the ground, hugged Gu Jue's legs tightly, and buried her face in Gu Jue's legs.

Looking at Liu'er like this, Gu Jue realized that this matter might be a bit too big for Liu'er.

Gu Jue gently placed his hand on the back of Liu'er's head and stroked it softly.

Sure enough, the next second, Liu'er's crying was heard.

Gu Jue didn't ask Ying Qing or anyone else what happened. He just kept stroking Liu'er's head and back gently over and over again.

In the past, whenever Liu'er was sad, she would always ask her to pat her head, saying that it would make her feel less sad.

After a long time, Liu'er finally stopped crying, but her body was still twitching.

Gu Jue didn't let go either, and continued to touch Liu'er's head back and forth.

Finally, Liu Er took the initiative to let go of Gu Jue, stood up, lowered her head, cried in her voice, but didn't dare to look at her. The first thing she said was to apologize.

"Sister, I'm sorry. It was because of me that the Second Master committed suicide. Please punish me, sister."

??? Hearing about suicide, Gu Jue's pupils shrank slightly. What?

He looked at Liu Er seriously, "What's going on?"

Liu'er still kept her head down, clenched her hands tightly, and forced herself not to cry.

"Not long after my sister went to Qianyuanzhou, the second house courtyard started to make a commotion again. This time, several young ladies from the second house were clamoring to find the second wife, but the old marquis wouldn't let them."

"Then, Gu Zi found me and asked my sister to help her find her mother. I agreed without authorization. I also secretly sent several young ladies to the second lady."

"Then, the Marquis's Mansion became even more chaotic. Three days ago, the old Marquis stuffed a woman into the Second Master's bed, and the woman was kicked out."

At this point, Liu'er's voice lowered.

He sniffed, "Not long after, the Second Master committed suicide."

After saying this, Liu'er couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Gu Jue frowned, looked at Liu'er who was crying with her head down and full of guilt, and rubbed his brows heavily.

Walking forward and lifting up Liu'er's face, what came into view was a face with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were red and she couldn't stop crying.

Gently wiped away Liu'er's tears, "What happened next?"

Liu Er sniffed, "Later, he was found in time by the servants. He is fine now, but his condition is not very good. He always has a low-grade fever."

Hearing that the person was rescued, Gu Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

He touched Liu'er's face and comforted her, "It's not your fault. I don't blame you. Besides, he's fine now. Don't blame yourself anymore."

After thinking for a while, I said, "We can blame ourselves, but not too much. We can reflect on ourselves. Next time, we will think carefully before making a decision."

"If you still feel guilty, then you should take good care of him from now on. This is not your fault. They were the ones who came to you first, and it was the Marquis' Mansion that forced you to do it. If you really want to say whose fault it is, it is definitely the Marquis' Mansion's fault, the old Marquis' fault, not yours."

Liu Er still couldn't let it go, "But if I hadn't sent those young ladies away, the Second Master might not have wanted to commit suicide."

He stopped talking here, and a finger was pressed against his lips.

Gu Jue gently pressed Liu'er's lips.

"Even if you don't do it, Second Uncle doesn't have the ability to solve this matter. This matter is already a dead end for Second Uncle. It's actually a good thing for you to send Gu Zi and the others away. Only when Gu Zi and the others leave can Second Uncle survive from a desperate situation."

But, my second uncle really didn’t want to live at that time. His wife and children were separated from him. For a man to whom family is his life, the departure of his wife and daughter is a symbol of the end of life.

Second Uncle is not capable enough and will never be able to resolve this issue. Only in this way can this issue be truly resolved in the future.

Gu Jue comforted Liu'er for a long time before he finally calmed her down.
