Gu Jingyun just arrived at the small courtyard, and immediately went out through the back door, and Shunxin drove him out.

  Shun Xin drove the carriage into the open side door, jumped off the carriage and put down the stool to help Gu Jingyun get off.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said with a smile, "You come with me."

  Shunxin relaxed a little, and followed behind Gu Jingyun step by step.

Young Master Gu was even more powerful than he thought, and he was welcomed in just by posting a post. Although he had only been in the capital for more than three months, he also knew that this Li Mansion was the family of the Dali Siqing, and not ordinary people could enter. of.

   To ask Dali Temple to reissue the documents and send them to Qiongzhou quickly, there is no one better than Dali Temple's own order.

  Li Shilu stayed at home after observing filial piety, and was reactivated three years ago, and was promoted to the official third-rank Dali Temple Minister.

  The world only knows that Li Shilu was born in the Han family. He has been working hard in the local area since he was admitted to the jinshi examination. He only stayed in the post of county magistrate for nine years.

  No one knew that the person who promoted him to Dali Temple was Qin Zhengze, who was the first assistant at that time, and no one knew that Li Shilu once sent things to Qiongzhou through the hands of a merchant.

   So Gu Jingyun knew that Li Shilu had been taking advantage of his official position to re-check the events of the past, and it was faster and more convenient to ask him for help than Li An.

  Li Shilu was fifty-four years old this year, with white hair on his temples, and was slightly excited when he saw Gu Jingyun walking in.

   Half of what he is today is due to Qin Shoufu's promotion. If it weren't for Qin Shoufu, he would still be staying in that small county town as county magistrate.

   Having been an official for more than 20 years, he knew that it was too difficult for a person like him who had no foundation, had poor grades in the imperial examinations, and was unwilling to join forces with turbulent currents.

   He was not without effort in Xiang County back then, but he didn't have any management points. It is not bad to get an average grade in the annual assessment.

   He stayed in Xiang County for nine years. If Qin Shoufu hadn't inspected the place and arrived in Xiang County in a small fashion, he would have stayed there for the rest of his life.

   Not to mention the current status, the future of the children and grandchildren is a big problem.

   But now his son and grandson are officials in the court, and he is no longer a fish to be slaughtered. As a human being, he should be grateful. Besides, the Qin family is innocent.

   Everyone knew that the Qin family was wronged, and everyone knew that the prince was framed, but the emperor had no intention and no one dared to avenge them.

   Li Shilu didn't dare, all he could do was to collect evidence as much as he could, and wait for the day when the Qin family needed it to bring out the evidence to rehabilitate them.

   So as soon as Gu Jingyun handed in the post, he immediately invited people in.

   But what Li Shilu didn't expect was that Gu Jingyun came for the Li family's case.

  The case of the Li family was turned over by him. Although Concubine Zhao’s words were conclusive, it was only witness. When handling the case, he paid more attention to physical evidence, because people can lie, but things can’t.

Therefore, even if Concubine Lan and the Empress put pressure on him, and the ministers in the DPRK also put pressure on him, he still insists on checking the evidence, but unfortunately, although the evidence points to Concubine Lan, the emperor still did not order a reprimand, and could only participate in the incident. The imperial doctor and the palace staff brought the incident to justice and rehabilitated Li Bo.

   But it has been 20 years since the injustice was committed. I wonder if the people who were wronged and exiled are still there?

   After he pondered for a while, he realized that he was the presiding judge, so he naturally knew that Gu Jingyun's wife was from the Li family.

   also sympathized with Li Shilu of the Li family who had been exiled for grievances, so he nodded after only a moment of indifference: "I will immediately have someone go to Qiongzhou with the official document, and if you have something entrusted, you can also let him take it.

   Gu Jingyun immediately got up and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

  Fortunately, Li Baolu always prepared enough money for him when he didn't go out with him, so Gu Jingyun took out the purse and gave it to Li Shilu, "The Li family only lacks this thing."

   Li Shilu immediately added a hundred taels into it, turned around and ordered his confidants.

  Gu Jingyun left contentedly, and went back to the small courtyard to find Erlin, the driver, before looking back home. At this time, the guests invited by the Gu family had just arrived.

   Said to be guests, but they were all from the clan with the surname Gu.

   Mrs. Gu just wanted to suppress the momentum of Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun, and it was enough to lose face in front of her own family, there was really no need to throw them outside.

   She knew that losing the face of Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu was the face of the Gu family.

   But Gu Jingyun doesn't eat oil or salt, and he doesn't eat hard or soft. No matter how good she and Hou Ye are to him, he accepts them one by one but doesn't miss them.

   Over the past three months, Gu Jiayu has been like a boarding hotel for him.

  Since the kindness is not rewarded, it is better to give both kindness and power.

   Old Madam Gu held Li Baolu with one hand and the girl's hand with the other, and stood up to greet a few older relatives.

The relatives only received the message that they wanted to come to the banquet, but they really didn’t know what the happy event was for the Gu family. When they saw the smiling old Madam Gu, they also came forward with a happy face, “What is the happy event for the old lady? It's rare to invite us as a guest."

   Mrs. Gu pushed Li Baolu, who was beside her, forward with a smile, and said with a smile, "It is my granddaughter-in-law's family who can overturn the case, and my in-laws will be able to come back from Qiongzhou soon. Do you think this is a happy event?"

  The faces of the wives stiffened, and they pulled Li Baolu's hand stiffly. They withdrew their hands a little stiffly, and said with a stiff smile, "I only knew that the third grandma's family was from Qiongzhou, so she originally came from the capital?"

   Everyone looked at Li Baolu with contempt and contempt. It turned out that she was not only a child bride, but also a sinner.

   Regardless of whether the Li family was wronged or not, they only thought that her family had been exiled sinners, and this was to be a pariah in the dust.

   And now they have become relatives with such untouchables.

   Is this a celebration or a slap in the face?

   Everyone looked at Old Madam Gu vaguely, seeing that her face was still full of smiles, and there was gradually a suspicion in their hearts.

Everyone ignored Li Baolu and dragged the people beside them to talk. Li Baolu, who had been paying attention to others, was instantly isolated from everyone, standing alone behind Mrs. Gu, but she was still pulling Gu, who she introduced to others. The old lady ignored her, as if she was attracted by the topic of the old lady beside her, and chatted with her in high spirits.

   I was going to be another person, and I was so embarrassed that my face turned red earlier.

   But Li Baolu is naturally thick-skinned.

   When he first arrived at Gu's house, Gu Jingyun didn't like to talk to her. She was chatting around him alone. She could talk for a whole day by herself.

   She still has this character for Gu Jingyun, who cares about herself, let alone someone who doesn't care about her?

  They don't want to talk to her, and she doesn't want to talk to them yet.

  Li Baolu snorted softly in her heart, she just stared at them, looked at their hairstyles after looking at their headwear, looked at their clothes after looking at their hairstyles, and looked at their demeanor after looking at their clothes...

  The female relatives in the room moved their bodies a little uncomfortably. Why did they have the illusion that they were being looked at as actors?

  Li Baolu stood motionless behind Mrs. Gu all morning, her face was ruddy and her eyes were bright. At first glance, she was in good health and in a good mood, and she was not affected at all.

   Mrs. Gu tilted her head and glanced at her, slightly helpless, is this child really stupid or just pretending?

  If it is installed, this concentration is too terrifying.

   When lunch time is up, everyone moves to the living room to eat. This time, men and women do not need to be in one place. They all take care of their families and don’t have to worry too much.

Li Baolu saw Gu Jingyun among the Gu family members at a glance. At this moment, he was talking to others with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Baolu turned his head in response when he saw her. When he saw her, he couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes. I mean, he nodded slightly to her.

   Gu Lekang, who had been paying attention to him secretly, was silent for a moment when he saw this, and then he moved to his side and whispered, "Third brother, be careful."

   He vaguely knew that this banquet was not a good banquet for his grandmother, otherwise why would the guests secretly make fun of Gu Jingyun?

  He couldn't understand what they were thinking, wouldn't it be good for the family to live in peace and happiness?

  Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said nothing.

   He looked at Mrs. Gu, who was the leader, and couldn't help but smile. In fact, he was very grateful to Mrs. Gu for hosting this banquet for him and Baolu. Otherwise, it would take a lot of work for him to pull the Gu family into the water.

   After everyone was seated, Mrs. Gu sat at the top and smiled with everyone: "Don't mind me, everyone. Today is a good day for my granddaughter-in-law, and everyone should have a good time."

Gu Jiaquan responded like a joke, but Li Baolu, who had been putting quails behind Mrs. Gu, suddenly reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, raised her head and said to everyone with tears in her eyes, "Thank you all uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law. , I didn't expect my grandmother to be so kind to me, because my Li family can settle their grievances, and Zhaoxue invited everyone to celebrate together."

Li Baolu pondered for a long time, and felt that she really couldn't cry, so she could only continue to wink her eyes and said: "My Li family has been persecuted by Concubine Lan Gui for nearly twenty years. With the efforts of all the ministers in the middle, there will be a day when Tianli will not allow her!"

   "Lishi!" Mrs. Gu's complexion changed greatly, she couldn't help slamming the table angrily and shouting.

Li Baolu had already finished speaking quickly, and she lowered her head to comfort Madam Gu and said, "Grandma, don't be angry, I know that you are wronged for my Li family, but Concubine Lan Gui is very powerful, now is not the time for us to confront her head-on, the heavens are clear, she always has One day she will get what she deserves. If you don’t believe me, look at who dared to come forward to sue her twenty years ago? Although she has not been interrogated, the minions who helped her do evil have all deserved it, and I believe it is not far from her downfall.”

  Li Baolu excitedly held Madam Gu's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Grandma, rest assured, you will definitely see the day when the concubine raped her."

   Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes and fainted.

   Demented and stunned Gu family finally reacted and gathered around them one after another.

However, none of them were as fast as Li Baolu. Li Baolu grabbed Old Madam Gu's shoulders and kept shaking and crying, "Grandmother, grandmother, don't get excited, don't worry, you will definitely see the traitor concubine abusing the law, so don't have an accident. Otherwise, what do you want Baolu to do?"
