Chapter 64: Master Luochuan is willing to speak
"Have you thought it through?" Gu Qingyun stood in front of the cell, looking down at Master Luochuan through the gap.
Young Master Luochuan did not answer, but looked at Gu Qingyun with hatred.
"You still don't want to say it? What is there that is worth your insistence?" Gu Qingyun couldn't help laughing. He really didn't understand why Master Luochuan was like this.
Logically speaking, he was alone at this time, so it didn't matter if he died. Could it be that he still had a sense of pride in his heart, or some unknown secret?
Gu Qingyun made up his mind to test him, and said calmly, "You can't protect him. I already know what your relationship with him is."
The pupils of Luochuan Master shrank slightly, and he immediately reacted, "Sir Shaoqing is really good at making up stories. I don't know what you are talking about."
Although he hesitated for only a moment, he was caught by Gu Qingyun. It turned out that Master Luochuan wanted to keep someone, who was that person?
His brother had been arrested and thrown in jail, and he didn't look like someone who would protect his dwarf brother.
Could it be the children in the sanatorium?
Except for Xiaoya, I don't see any difference in how he treats other people.
Could it be that he likes Xiaoya?
Gu Qingyun couldn't figure it out, so he tried again, "Tell me, I won't pester you to the end. I will protect her."
"Lord Shaqing, please stop trying to trick me. I won't say anything. I have already said everything I need to say." Young Master Luochuan spoke lightly.
Gu Qingyun could only turn around and leave. He thought about bringing Xiaoya here tomorrow. Maybe it was really because of Xiaoya. If it was really because of Xiaoya, then this matter was not completely beyond negotiation.
Although the emperor's foundation in the court is not unstable now, there are still many old things from the previous dynasty. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the late emperor conferred titles on many people.
There are always a lot of earls and marquises who are not related by blood.
Gu Qingyun even thought of the Zhenxi King case from more than ten years ago.
This case was taken over by the master back then, and the whole government and the public were disturbed by the King of Zhenxi.
The master paid a heavy price for this, but still failed to eradicate the case of King Zhenxi.
Wasn't Prince Shun a supporter of Prince Zhenxi back then? Because of what happened back then, he has never been favored in the court. He was even exiled to the frontier for many years. Now, not long after he came back, the young master followed Prince Luochuan to make trouble again.
For a moment, Gu Qingyun didn't know whether he was really confused or just pretending to be confused.
His mind was full of this case and the changes in the court, and Gu Qingyun didn't sleep well the whole night.
The next day, he hurriedly took Xiaoya to see Master Luochuan.
Seeing that it was Gu Qingyun, Xiaoya grabbed his hand and started crying, "Where's my brother? Where did you take my brother? Xiaoya is so hungry. Xiaoya wants to eat."
Gu Qingyun didn't know how to comfort Xiaoya who was emotionally broken. From the first time he met Xiaoya, Gu Qingyun knew that this girl was unusual.
Master Luochuan really didn't seem to let her suffer any hardship. Except for the inhuman treatment, Master Luochuan seemed to think that was good for Xiaoya.
He sighed deeply, "Come on, I'll take you to see him."
Xiaoya's originally lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? You're going to take me to see my brother."
Gu Qingyun nodded helplessly and took Xiaoya straight to the Dali Temple.
"Xiaoya, talk more to your brother later." Gu Qingyun looked at Xiaoya and spoke to the little girl in what he thought was the gentlest tone.
Xiaoya nodded and said, "I will definitely talk to my brother more often."
In the dungeon, Young Master Luochuan had just been fed a bowl of porridge. Gu Qingyun was afraid that he would starve to death, which would be a huge loss.
"Xiaoya, look, your brother is right here."
When Master Luochuan heard what Gu Qingyun said, he looked up and saw Xiaoya rushing over. He also put away his indifferent expression.
In an instant, he turned into the Young Master Luochuan that everyone loved before.
"Did Xiaoya eat well? Was she well behaved?"
"Wuuuu, wuuuu, brother, don't you want Xiaoya anymore? Xiaoya misses you so much." Xiaoya grabbed the door of the dungeon and began to cry at the top of her lungs.
Young Master Luochuan was panicked for a moment, and hurriedly reached through the dungeon to wipe Xiaoya's tears.
"Don't cry, Xiaoya, your brother is here."
Gu Qingyun couldn't help but frown as he watched the scene of brother and sister recognizing each other. Even though Xiaoya was generally not very smart, she was not so stupid as to be unable to tell whether others were good or bad to her.
Is it true that Master Luochuan treats her well? What is the hidden story behind this case?
"Gu Qingyun, you bastard! Who told you to bring Xiaoya here?" Young Master Luochuan asked with gritted teeth as he looked at the crying girl in front of him.
"She missed you, so I asked her to bring you here. Besides, don't you have a lot of things you don't want to tell me? Then tell her." Gu Qingyun spoke with the stubborn look of Young Master Luochuan a few days ago.
"You...you..." Master Luochuan was at a loss for words for a moment. The little girl in front of him was crying so hard that her lips were turning white.
"Do you have anything to say?" Gu Qingyun asked again.
"What are the benefits?" Young Master Luochuan started practicing Tai Chi with Gu Qingyun.
"As long as you tell me, I can agree to one thing within reason." Gu Qingyun looked at Xiaoya and roughly guessed what Master Luochuan wanted him to do.
Young Master Luochuan took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Let them take all the rats away first, then let Xiaoya in. I'll stay with her for a few more days."
Gu Qingyun was a little impatient, "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I can continue today's method a thousand times."
Young Master Luochuan was like a deflated ball. "I promised you that I will not go back on my word. Send someone to handle it quickly, and I will tell you a story."
Gu Qingyun nodded, and did not take Xiaoya away. Instead, he opened the door of the cell and sent Xiaoya in, then turned around and went outside.
"Catch all the rats in the dungeon. Young Master Luochuan is willing to talk now."
Not long after, the clerks and runners of the Dali Temple handled everything according to Gu Qingyun's instructions.
Only then did Gu Qingyun turn around and go down to the dungeon again.
Xiaoya had fallen asleep in the arms of Master Luochuan, and Master Luochuan signaled Gu Qingyun to keep his voice down.
Then he patted Xiaoya's back and started telling the story he wanted to tell.
Twenty years ago, I accidentally heard the servant who always bullied me in the farm mention the young master of the family.
They said that the young master and I had the same person but different fates. We were born from the same mother, but we could only hide in the farm and suffer.
Living a life even inferior to theirs.
They also said many unpleasant things, and I was filled with hatred. I swore that one day I would make their noble young master kneel before me and beg for my forgiveness.
Why should I become a prisoner just because he was born a moment earlier than me?
Of course I am unwilling to accept this.
But so what? Actually, no one would care about what I heard, because I was just a young master abandoned in the village. No, I was not a young master, I was a waste.
My mother thought she was gentle and considerate in saving me, but in fact, she didn't even come to see me.
