Gu Shiyi was in the tunnel, and not long after, she reached the end. Right above her, there was a square exit, and it looked like it could only fit one person.
Gu Shiyi reached out her hand to press against it, only to realize that there seemed to be something blocking her up above. She took a deep breath, and used all her strength to push upwards.
After exerting her strength, she finally pushed open the exit without letting him down.
In front of him, there was a room. Borrowing the moonlight, Gu Shiyi saw all kinds of embroidery racks of varying sizes, and among them, there were a lot of unfinished products. What blocked the tunnel's exit was a big mouth full of camphor wood, and inside it, were large groups of embroidery threads.
Looking at the big symbol on the embroidery rack, Gu Shiyi's eyes flashed with a look of disbelief.
If she remembered correctly, Xiao Zhi's mother was the embroidery lady of the Colorful Embroidery Workshop, and the one who had ordered Xiao Zhi to poison her all those years ago.
However, Gu Shiyi did not believe that an ordinary embroidery lady would have the ability to dig such a tunnel.
Then, was Xiao Zhi also as harmless as she had initially thought?
Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would quickly sprout and the memories sealed in his brain would gradually become clear.
When Gu Shiyi was ten years old, she had almost lost her life for no reason. At that time, she clearly felt someone push her from behind, and she was also with Xiao Zhi at the time.
After that, Xiao Zhi looked like she was scared witless and she even wanted to comfort Gu Shiyi who had been saved from the water. She said that she accidentally stepped on a rock and slipped and bumped into Gu Shiyi, and Gu Shiyi back then also believed it.
Thinking about it now, how could there be so many coincidences? Wasn't it her body that should have landed on Gu Shiyi's back after being struck, but why was it just a pair of hands?
When humans fell, they would instinctively let out panicked voices, especially for ignorant girls like Xiao Zhi. However, at that time, Gu Shiyi did not hear anything, nor did she hear Xiao Zhi asking for help.
If not for a servant who passed by, Gu Shiyi would have long been a lone soul.
Gu Shiyi would always be by Gu Shiyi's side, and every time, she would be able to turn a blind eye to the dangers. It seemed that Gu Shiyi really deserved it, or perhaps Gu Shiyi was waiting for her to come, and thinking of this, Gu Shiyi suddenly felt that it was a little too absurd.
However, even more ridiculous than this had happened to her. In this world, what could be impossible?
Gu Shiyi felt a headache coming on. She didn't manage to avenge the annihilation of the Gu family, and didn't know if Situ Jing was still alive or not. Now, there was even an enigmatic Xiao Zhi who lurked beside her since young, wanting her to die.
But there was one thing that Gu Shiyi was sure of, and that was that Xiao Zhi did not dare and would not kill her directly.
Whether this showed that there was some worry in Xiao Zhi's heart, or that there was someone behind Gu Shiyi that Xiao Zhi was afraid of, could be seen from the other point of view.
Then, who could that person be?
Although Gu Minghong was the Prime Minister, the Gu family had a simple population, and basically had no relatives.
Everyone must be related to her mother, Ning Waner.
At this time, Gu Shiyi remembered that when she was tricked by Gu Moxue into returning to the Residence of General, the person who was about to reveal her identity, the old mama, had been shot in the throat with an arrow and died a tragic death.
Then, could this person be that person?
Gu Shiyi placed the chest back to its original position and walked in through the front door of the embroidery workshop on the second day.
After asking around, Gu Shiyi found out that the embroidery workshop had always belonged to a woman called Cai Qin, who stayed in the embroidery workshop three years ago.
It was also three years ago, and the difference between the time Gu Shiyi was able to jump off the cliff was not too long, so maybe that colored guqin was the most important person in this matter. Of course, Gu Shiyi knew that this color guqin was definitely an alias, and in order to be safe, Gu Shiyi drew out the appearance of the color guqin from the description given by the boss of the color embroidery workshop and the embroidery lady that she was familiar with.
Looking at the seemingly gentle and delicate looking colored zither, Gu Shiyi felt that it was extremely familiar. The face, was actually exactly the same as Xiao Zhi's.
Then, what was there for Gu Shiyi to not understand?
Caiqin was Xiao Zhi's mother, and she had never stopped framing him as well. Just what kind of deep hatred did she have for him that made her extend her poison claws towards him from when she was still a baby?
It seemed like this matter was still related to Ning Waner!
Gu Shiyi sighed helplessly. Everyone said that beauties had many lives, and beauties had many affairs. It seemed like they were not lying at all.
Gu Shiyi returned to the Four Nations School in low spirits. She wanted to find the Rainbow Zither, and right now, her priority was Cheng Suyi and Situ Yu.
Although Gu Minghong was framed by Cheng Suyi, the one who gave the order in the end was Situ Yu.
"Where did you go last night?"
As Gu Shiyi sat in her room in a daze, a voice suddenly appeared beside Gu Shiyi's ears. Immediately, Huyan Bie's handsome face appeared in front of her.
"I said, don't ask me about it!"
Gu Shiyi turned her head, stood up and walked to the window, she did not like the distance being so close.
"I know, I'm not worried about you!"
Last night, she had wanted to follow behind Gu Shiyi, but thinking back to her previous warning, she was afraid that Gu Shiyi would do as she said, returning back on her road to the bridge.
"No need. Also, how's the matter?"
Gu Shiyi's voice was very cold, this matter was only for his own good. She did not want to implicate him and drag the entire Great Mo Nation into this dirty water.
"It went smoothly. It's just that I never thought that there would actually be a woman in this world that was even more debaucherous than Shangguan Xianyue. It's just that …"
Huyan Bie did not finish his words because he did not want to use these words to pollute Gu Shiyi's ears.
"Men can have three wives and four concubines, while harem women can have three thousand. Why can't women? Women have never been subordinate to men. They are also an independent existence! "
It was very obvious that Huyan no longer despised and detested Cheng Suyi, but for some reason, when Gu Shiyi heard all of this, she felt very uncomfortable.
In her view, men and women should be equal, putting aside personal grudges, she could still accept Cheng Suyi raising her head.
