As soon as Gu Jingyun arrived at the small courtyard, he immediately went out through the back door, and Shun Xin drove him out.

Shunxin drove the carriage into the open side door with a strong heart, jumped out of the carriage without looking sideways and put down the stool to help Gu Jingyun get out of the carriage.

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

Shunxin relaxed slightly, and followed behind Gu Jingyun step by step.

Mr. Gu was even more powerful than he thought, and he was welcomed in after only handing in a post. Although he had only been in the capital for more than three months, he also knew that this Li's mansion was the Qing family of Dali Temple, and not ordinary people could enter it. of.

For Dali Temple to reissue the document and send it to Qiongzhou as quickly as possible, there is no one better than Dali Temple Secretary personally ordering it.

After Li Shilu kept his filial piety, he worked idle at home, and was only reactivated three years ago, and was promoted to the third rank of Dali Temple Minister.

The world only knows that Li Shilu came from a poor family, and has been struggling in the local area since he passed the Jinshi examination. He only stayed at the post of county magistrate for nine years.

No one knew that it was Qin Zhengze, the chief assistant at the time, who promoted him to Dali Temple, and no one knew that Li Shilu had sent things to Qiongzhou with the help of a businessman.

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

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

He could be what he is today, partly due to Qin Shoufu's promotion. If it wasn't for Qin Shoufu, he would still be staying in that small county as a county magistrate.

Having been an official for more than 20 years, he knows that it is too difficult for a person like him who has no foundation, poor imperial examination results, and unwillingness to join the dirty stream to get promoted.

It can be said that he didn't work hard in Xiangxian County back then, but he didn't manage well. It is not bad to get a medium grade in the annual assessment.

He stayed in Xiang County for nine years. If it wasn't for Qin Shoufu's inspection of the area, he would have stayed there for the rest of his life if he came to Xiang County in micro-clothes.

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

But now his son and his grandson are all officials in the court, and they are no longer fish and meat at the mercy of others. One must be grateful, not to mention that 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 intentions, and no one dared to avenge them.

Li Shilu didn't dare either, all he could do was to collect evidence as much as he could, and waited for the day when the Qin family needed the evidence to vindicate 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 here for the Li family's case.

He was the one who turned the Li family's case. Although Concubine Zhao's words were convincing, they were just witnesses. He paid more attention to physical evidence in his handling of the case, because people can lie, but things can't.

So even though Concubine Lan Gui and the Empress put pressure on him, and all the ministers in the court also put pressure on him, he still insisted on finding all the evidence. Unfortunately, although there were many evidences pointing to Concubine Lan Gui, the emperor still did not order to reprimand him, and he could only report his participation in the incident. The imperial doctor and palace officials involved in the incident were brought to justice and Li Bo was rehabilitated.

But 20 years have passed since the unjust case. I wonder if the people who were unjustly exiled back then are still there?

He pondered for a while before he understood that he was the presiding officer, so he naturally knew that Gu Jingyun's wife was from the Li family.

He also sympathized with Li Shilu who was exiled unjustly, so he only pondered for a moment before nodding his head and said: "I will send someone to take the official document to Qiongzhou immediately, 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 would prepare enough money for him when he didn't go out with him, so Gu Jingyun took out the money bag and handed it to Li Shilu, "This is the only thing Li's family lacks."

Li Shilu immediately added one hundred taels to it, turned around and told his confidants.

Gu Jingyun left contentedly, went back to the small courtyard to find Erlin, the coachman, and then returned home, when the guests invited by the Gu family had just arrived.

They said they were guests, but they were all members of the clan with the surname Gu.

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

She knew that to lose Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu's face was to lose the Gu family's face, this was a way to kill one thousand enemies and self-destroy eight hundred, and she didn't want it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But Gu Jingyun doesn't take in oil and salt, and doesn't eat hard and soft, no matter how kind she and Lord Hou treat him, he accepts them one by one but doesn't feel grateful for them.

For more than three months, the Gu family has treated him like a boarding hotel, acting willfully and recklessly without any family affection.

Since the kindness cannot be reciprocated, it is better to give both kindness and power.

Mrs. Gu held Li Baolu with one hand, and supported the girl's hand with the other to stand up to welcome several older relatives.

The relatives only received a message to come to the banquet, but they really didn't know what happy event the Gu family had. Seeing the smiling old Mrs. Gu, they also walked forward happily, "What is the old lady so happy about? It’s rare to have us as guests.”

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

The faces of the ladies froze, and the hand they pulled towards Li Baolu froze, they withdrew their hand a little stiffly, and said with a stiff smile: "I only knew that the third grandma's natal family is from Qiongzhou, so she came out of the capital?"

Everyone looked at Li Baolu not only with contempt, but also with contempt. It turns out that she is not only a child bride, but also a criminal.

Regardless of whether the Li family was wronged or not, they only thought that her family had been exiled criminals, that is, low in the dust and untouchables.

And now they have become relatives with such untouchables.

Is this a celebration, or a slap in the face?

Everyone looked at Mrs. Gu secretly, seeing that she still had a smile on her face, and gradually had a guess in their hearts.

Everyone ignored Li Baolu, and pulled the people around them to talk. Li Baolu, who was still being talked to, was instantly isolated by everyone, standing alone behind Mrs. Gu, but she was still pulling Gu The old lady ignored her, as if she was attracted by the topic of the old lady beside her, she chatted with her enthusiastically.

If it were another person, his face would turn red and he would feel ashamed.

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 just chatted around him alone, and could talk for a whole day by herself, and she also enjoyed herself by ignoring her.

Gu Jingyun, who cares about her, still has such a heart, let alone someone who doesn't care about her?

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

Li Baolu snorted softly in her heart, and just stared at them, after looking at their headgear, hair style, hair style, clothes, and after clothes, they looked at their demeanor...

The female relatives in the room all moved around uncomfortably, why did they have the illusion of being sized up like actors?

Li Baolu stood motionless behind Mrs. Gu for the whole morning, her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, she was in good health and in a good mood, and she was not hurt at all.

Mrs. Gu turned her head to look at her, slightly helpless, is this child really stupid or just pretending?

If it is pretended, this concentration is too terrifying.

When it's lunch time, everyone moves to the living room to have dinner. Now there is no need for men and women to be together. They are all family members, so there is no need to worry too much.

Li Baolu saw Gu Jingyun among the Gu family members at a glance. He was talking to others with a smile on his lips. When Li Baolu saw her, he turned his head in response. When he saw her, he couldn't help but flashed a smile in his eyes. Satisfied, he nodded slightly to her.

Gu Lekang, who had been secretly watching him, 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 hosted by his grandmother was not a good one, otherwise why would all the guests secretly tease Gu Jingyun?

He couldn't figure out what they were thinking, wouldn't it be nice for the family to live in peace and contentment?

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 effort for him to drag the Gu family into trouble.

Everyone is ready for the table, Mrs. Gu sat at the head and smiled with everyone: "Don't mind the simple tea and light food. Today is a good day for my grandson-in-law, so everyone should enjoy it to the fullest."

Gu Jiaquan accepted it as if it was a joke, but Li Baolu, who had been serving quail 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, 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 be rehabilitated and invite everyone to celebrate together."

Li Baolu pondered for a while, and felt that she couldn't cry, so she could only continue to blink her tears 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 school, the law of heaven will not tolerate her one day!"

"Li Shi!" Mrs. Gu's complexion changed drastically, and she couldn't help but slapped the table angrily and shouted.

Li Baolu had already finished speaking quickly, and she lowered her head to appease Mrs. Gu and said, "Don't be angry, grandma, I know you feel wronged for my Li family, but Concubine Lan Gui is powerful, and now is not the time for us to confront her head-on. If you don’t believe me, who would have dared to sue her twenty years ago? Although she has not been questioned now, the minions who helped her do evil have all deserved what they deserved, and I believe her downfall is not far away.”

Li Baolu excitedly held Mrs. Gu's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, grandma, you will definitely see the day when the traitorous concubine will be punished."

Madam Gu rolled her eyes and fainted.

The demented and stunned Gu's family members finally came to their senses and gathered around one after another.

However, none of them was as fast as Li Baolu. Li Baolu grabbed Mrs. Gu's shoulders and kept shaking, crying, "Grandmother, grandma, don't get excited, don't worry, you will definitely see the traitorous concubine put to death, please don't get into trouble, Otherwise, what would you ask Baolu to do?"
