The solid wooden door was wide open, welcoming every guest who came to mourn.

Sihan put away the fan in her hand. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt heavier when she saw the white silk on top of the stone lion.

Bing'er took a deep breath when she saw the words' General '. This was the first time she had attended a funeral since she came here. She and Sihan looked at each other, then strode through the gates of the General's Estate.

The general's mansion was filled with people, men in soldiers and armor. Even though the crime committed by the old general was the crime of colluding with the enemy to sell out the country, there were still countless soldiers who came to the general's residence to take a last look at the old general.

The old general's mourning hall was arranged on the lawn of the general's manor. A wooden platform was built on the green grass, and the corpse of the old general was placed in the middle of the wooden shelf. Even though he had passed away, he still looked as mighty as ever. Bing'er couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the old general lying on the wooden shelf. How mighty!

After they paid their respects to the old general, Sihan and Bing'er left the mourning hall and walked deeper into the manor.

The setting of the general's manor was simple. It could be said to be obvious with a single glance. There were no decorations, but the scenery was beautiful and it had the fragrance of flowers and birds. Unfortunately, Sihan and Bing'er didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery …

The two of them walked along the long corridor until they reached the end. They went down the steps and entered a semicircular arch. Sihan and Bing'er looked at each other, then stepped into the arch.

There was a spacious yard inside the arch, with many small fake mountains inside. One rock garden after another. The rock garden was only as high as a person's height, so he couldn't climb it just for appreciation. Although the rockery was small, it rose and fell in succession. On the tiny rockery, there were some bushes and a few small pavilions.

There was nothing else in the huge courtyard other than a rock garden and a stone table. Although the setting was simple, it gave off a refreshing feeling.

Sihan and Bing'er glanced at the fake mountain and then looked to their right. There were three big words engraved on the signboard on the right side of the door: Purple Bamboo Pavilion.

"This is the place." Bing'er smiled proudly. Along the way, she had asked the servant girl about the location of Gu Ziming's residence, and found out that it was the Violet Bamboo Pavilion.

Glancing at the small tree on top of the fake mountain, Bing'er secretly curled her lips. Where did the bamboo come from?

"Purple Bamboo Pavilion!" It's quite fitting. " Sihan muttered to herself while standing under the signboard.

Bing'er turned her head to look at Sihan. "Where did it come from?" There's not a single bamboo in here! "

Sihan glanced at Bing'er and pointed at the lush green jungle on top of the hill. "These are all bamboo, okay?"

Bing-Er looked at the dense bamboo forest on top of the fake mountain in disbelief. She stretched out her hand to touch it and then her face suddenly turned red. She turned her head and gave Sihan an awkward smile. "I didn't see clearly with my eyes just now."

Sihan smiled but didn't say anything. Bing-Er always had her own reasons. Even if she was wrong, she had good reason.

She took a deep breath, walked up the steps, and lightly knocked on the door. In truth, she was a little worried, worried that Gu Ziming would be like the last time, decadent, tormenting himself, and lacking self-awareness. She would drink all day to numb herself.

He lightly knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside. Sihan and Bing'er looked at each other, puzzled. Was there no one in the room? They had only come here because they had investigated very carefully.

Sihan raised her hand once again, begging him to give her something. She knocked on the door. "Young General, are you inside?" Sihan asked softly.

"Come in." A vigorous and powerful voice came from inside.

Sihan breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Ziming's voice came from the room. Gently, she pushed open the door and entered the room. The room was extremely simple, with a wardrobe, a table, and a large bed. Nothing else. Gu Ziming was dressed in a white brocade robe with a white mourning belt tied around his waist. He was sitting upright on a chair.

He raised his eyes to look at the person who entered the room. When he saw Sihan, who was dressed in men's clothing, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. This man had interacted with him many times, but why was he here?

Sihan had predicted that Gu Ziming would be very surprised to see her, but she didn't see any change in Gu Ziming's expression. She only saw his thick eyebrows scrunch up slightly.

Sihan slowly walked in front of Gu Ziming. "This little girl, Liang Sihan, pays her respects to the young general."

When Gu Ziming heard about the woman's identity, all the doubts in his heart were dispelled. No wonder he couldn't find the man that slandered him no matter how hard he searched. It turned out that the man wasn't a man at all, but a woman.

Woman?

He suddenly thought of how a woman had ruthlessly slapped him in the face. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at Sihan with cold eyes. "You said you're a woman?"

Sihan knew Gu Ziming would definitely remember that she slapped him so hard in Bing'er's room. She coughed lightly and explained the whole thing to Gu Ziming, "Actually, everything that happened between Sihan and the young general was a misunderstanding. Sihan's older brother, Liang Yuqi, was imprisoned because she committed a capital crime. In order to help her brother turn the case around, we little girls decided to act out a play to help Bing'er enter Empyrean Heart Pavilion. " As she said this, she pulled Bing'er, who was standing behind her, to her side, "This is the boss of the First Sky of the Ice. Liu Bing'er."

Gu Ziming's face sank a little. Liu Bing'er? Wasn't it Lady Bing'er who was in the pavilion? So it turned out that he had been superfluous to save someone on the street that day!

Seeing that Gu Ziming's expression was a little ugly, Sihan hurriedly continued to explain, "Actually, we already rehearsed beforehand that day. I forcefully invited a commoner on the streets, while Chen Zhi acted as the hero to save the beauty." "Since the young general is here to save Bing'er, there's no need for Chen Zhi to do so. Catch." Sihan explained everything that had happened to Gu Ziming. Of course, the matter of him treating her as a man kissing had been left out by Sihan. There were some things that she and Gu Ziming only knew about.

After Gu Ziming heard Sihan's explanation, he raised his head and looked at her calmly. "You guys didn't come here just to tell me what happened, did you?"

Sihan smiled faintly at Gu Ziming. "Of course not. Actually, Sihan came here to examine the old general's corpse and to find other evidence to wash his innocence." Seeing that so many people had come to pay their respects to the old general, and that the Southern Sea had been imprisoned for the sake of cleansing the old general of his grievances, she believed that the old general was innocent in the Southern Sea.

Gu Ziming's expression immediately turned cold. He stood up from the stool and walked in front of Sihan. He glared at Sihan, with eyes that seemed to pierce through her.

Sihan frowned slightly and looked back at Gu Ziming. She didn't know why Gu Ziming's expression was so ugly, nor did she understand why Gu Ziming was looking at her with such a cold gaze.

The two of them stared at each other for a long while before Gu Ziming turned around. He no longer looked at Sihan and said coldly, "Get out, this general won't let anyone disturb my father, much less allow you to touch my father." "Get out."
