C126

The man on the horse had a very timely reaction. When he collided with the horse carriage, he quickly reined the horse in, to the point where it looked like the horse was shocked. It roared and raised its front hooves, but the man on the horse didn't budge at all.

Even with Fang Dai's support, she was still struck until she felt dizzy. Fang Dai's brows tensed up, and immediately rushed out, in a few steps, she sat on the back of the horse who had been frightened, and firmly held onto the reins. This caused an irreparable accident, and any later, the roadside stalls would have been kicked up into the sky by the horses.

With Fang Dai's comforting, she slowly calmed herself down. The other man who bumped into the other side was calmly watching Fang Dai train the horse, seemingly interested in the girl's skills, but Fang Dai was not angry at him at all, she glared at him fiercely, and spoke with anger in her voice, "Young master, can you not be slow riding on the streets? Even if you're called Ma Liang Horse, don't wander on the streets of the capital, it would be troublesome if you hurt someone."

However, that person laughed impolitely. "If I don't make a mistake this time, how would I know that there is such a good girl in the capital?"

When Xie Jingxi heard this person's voice, she unconsciously frowned. Although this man's words were a bit disgraceful, from the moment the words came out, they carried a sense of sinister danger, the voice was extremely uncomfortable, as if they came from underground. It naturally carried a dense chill that could make people shiver under the sun.

Fang Dai was a martial arts practitioner so she immediately sensed the unhappy aura from this person's body. Her brows furrowed even more tightly as she looked at him warily, but for some reason, Xie Jingxi's curiosity was piqued as she subconsciously lifted the carriage's curtain and saw the man sitting on the horse.

However, she did not expect that her face was covered with a veil, to the point that she had the mysteriousness of a chivalrous hero, Xie Jingxi was startled, and suddenly felt a bit of regret, and before she could put down the carriage curtain again, the man opened her mouth and said: "I was careless and knocked onto my wife, I really deserve death, I hope my wife does not blame me."

Therefore, Xie Jingxi could only look at him again. Just as she was about to speak, the man suddenly lifted her veil and nodded at her, and the moment she saw his face, Xie Jingxi was stunned.

Although it was just a short glance, but this glance was like a blade that was imprinted in Xie Jingxi's mind. Then, a string in her mind suddenly snapped, and with a loud explosion, it split into pieces like lightning. Xie Jingxi thought, Is she seeing things?

The man's face was actually exactly the same as Gu Wan's.

Xie Jingxi squinted her eyes to look at the man on the horse, it was as though she could see the ridicule and playfulness in his eyes through the veil, it was just a fleeting glance, but this man's expression was clearly engraved in her mind. After a while, she realized that this man's eyes were filled with unspeakable hostility, he had purposely bumped into her.

"Fang Dai, let's go."

Xie Jingxi meaningfully glanced at him, then closed the curtain of the sedan chair and ordered Fang Dai to continue walking back. Fang Dai glared at him fiercely, saying in her heart that if she ever called for his grandaunt to meet her alone again, he would definitely teach her a lesson.

The man on the horse watched the departing carriage with interest and muttered, "Looks like this trip back was not in vain. Interesting, interesting."

When Fang Dai returned to the carriage, she saw that Xie Jingxi's complexion was not well. She thought that she must have been frightened, "Madam, you're not hurt, right?

She did not think that the Gu family would actually have a Fourth Young Master. Don't ask her why she was so sure, from the moment she saw that face, her first reaction was this. There would not be anyone in this world who looked so similar to Gu Wan.

But since the Gu family really had a Fourth Young Master, then where did this Fourth Young Master go? Why wasn't he raised in the Marquis Mansion, and why had he suddenly appeared all of a sudden?

"Fang Dai, you have followed Eldest Young Master for so long, do you know that there's actually a Fourth Young Master in the Marquis Mansion?"

"Fourth Young Master? Isn't it Miss Gu Wan? "

It seemed that Fang Dai did not know either, or could it be that Gu Yun did not know as well, but her feelings were not wrong. That person clearly knew that she was the Young Mistress of the Gu family and had purposely bumped into her, at the very least, it meant that the Fourth Young Master knew everything about Marquis Mansion, and her attitude was not very friendly.

"No, you didn't see that person's face just now. It looked exactly the same as Gu Wan's.

"Madam, you must be serious!" Fang Dai was also panic-stricken, "This, this is too unexpected, the Young Master never mentioned it."

However, what was even more unexpected was that on the same night, Xie Jingxi saw the Gu family's fourth young master at the Marquis Mansion.

Not to mention Xie Jingxi, even Gu Wan was so shocked that her jaw dropped. After living for more than ten years, suddenly, a 90% image of her younger brother appeared in front of him.

"Mother, father, this … this can't be true, right?"

It was rare to see the entire Marquis Mansion family gathered together, so Marquis sat at the seat of honor with a sullen face. Lady Zeng's excitement of seeing her son was still hanging on his face when she suddenly saw what happened.

"It's sister-in-law, right? We meet again." They did not expect Gu Qing to greet Xie Jingxi first, so everyone looked at the two of them in surprise.

Xie Jingxi did not speak, but took the initiative to explain, "Oh, today on the street, I accidentally bumped into Sister-in-law's carriage, and made Sister-in-law shocked. I'm sorry."

"This is your fourth brother, Gu Qing. His mother was sick in the womb, and his body was not well since he was young, thus he had to be nurtured by a traveling doctor. Since you are back now, you should stay at home properly, and avoid causing trouble outside."

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, "I said, Master Father, you can't speak the truth …"

"Shut up!"

Gu Qing obediently shut his mouth, only that playful and uncomfortable gaze swept over his brothers and sisters, his face full of unhappiness.

Gu Qing's words did not sound like the joy of a son who had just returned home from recuperation. Instead, it sounded like a problem had come back to him. Although Gu Qing's face was exactly the same as Gu Wan's, his temperament was completely different.

The Gu family was not in a normal state of chaos.

However, Gu Qing insisted on going against her. The more she did not say anything, the more he could not find any words to say, "Sister-in-law seems to be angry, I am really not doing this on purpose, I am used to coming back to the capital so I am not used to it. If I were to offend Sister-in-law, I will apologize for it."

"Hey, Gu Qing, right? Don't bully our Jingwan, no big deal." Gu Wan blocked in front of Xie Jingxi, and curiously looked at his own brethren, "Although you look the same as me, but if you dare to bully Jingwan, I'll still beat you up!"

The corner of Gu Qing's eyes hooked up, the almond-shaped eyes that originally resembled Gu Wan revealed a trace of evil, "Third Sister, you loved to bully me since you were young, you really haven't changed at all over these years."

Not to mention Gu Wan, Gu Heng did not even have a good impression of him. Only after Gu Qing appeared and slowly recalled for a long time did he seem to remember that she had a little brother, but because he looked too similar to Gu Wan, Gu Heng always felt that she was the same person.

The Fourth Young Master of the Gu family was really a long story, but the only ones who knew about it were Marquis and Lady Zeng, who didn't have any intentions of explaining themselves, so Xie Jingxi and the others were currently confused. However, Gu Qing seemed to know everything about them, and he remembered that Gu Wan bullied them when she was young, but Gu Wan didn't have any impression of him at all.

The Lady Zeng was still trapped in her own world, "Qing'er, since you've returned, you should stay at home and not leave. In the future, Wan'er should not go to the Crown Prince.

Gu Wan was instinctively not too happy. Normally, she would be hanging around the Crown Prince, but Lady Zeng never said a word, nor did she mention anything related to a girl's family, why did she suddenly come back to her little brother's house? She was about to be locked up and not allowed to leave, Gu Wan deeply felt this so-called survival crisis.

"Father, do you say the same?"

Gu Wan acted like a spoiled child towards Marquis, but Marquis ignored her, "Just listen to your mother, we'll stay home for the time being."

Gu Wan was about to say something when she was pulled by Xie Jingxi. Gu Wan unwillingly shut her mouth, as she hated this little brother that suddenly popped out of nowhere to the extreme.

"There's no need to make things so difficult for me." Gu Qing looked at the crowd calmly, "Just treat it as if I didn't come back. I still have to leave anyways, why are you guys wasting your time, and why are you making me, the Third Sister, pretend to be a man.

"Gu Qing!" Marquis bellowed: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Gu Qing shrugged his shoulders, "Since we have already met, I will leave first."

The Lady Zeng became anxious and was about to speak, but she was stared back at by the Marquis, and then said to Gu Qing: "You don't have to leave, I have something to ask you."

This scene was not suitable for any drama of reuniting brothers and relatives to take place. When Marquis brought Gu Qing to the outer study room alone for questioning, Xie Jingxi and the others all withdrew with serious expressions.

Marquis closed the door and sat at the table. He looked up at his son and asked, "Where have you been all these years?"

Gu Qing looked straight at Marquis, his sharp and somewhat mocking gaze, to Marquis, was already extremely disrespectful, "My father, back then, since you sent me away, you didn't care where I went or what I went to do. Don't you think that question is a little unnecessary?"

"At that time, I had no choice but to send you away. I sent you to a good friend and have always sent people to take care of you, but ten years ago, I suddenly lost news of you two and after looking for nothing, I thought you were both dead, that's why …"

It was not that the Marquis was exaggerating, when he first saw his son, the look in his eyes made him feel unjustifiable fear. At that time, he was only a baby doll, although he was much smaller than Gu Wan, and was born with great difficulty, and he almost couldn't support himself, but when he looked at others, his eyes were the same as the ones he had now.

If only he was truly dead for real, he would still be able to hold onto his regret for the rest of his life. However, this Gu Qing who was standing right in front of him right now, was actually able to cause the usually calm Marquis to feel an unprecedented panic. In that moment, the Marquis even began to emit a slight killing intent, but that little bit of regret that was left behind was ultimately temporarily suppressed.

However, Gu Qing caught the flash of killing intent that came from the Marquis and chuckled: "What, father finally wants to kill me?"
