“We are friends.” At the mention of the word ‘friends’, Rong Han could not help but smile. “I don’t know why, but I like them very much. Father, I want to go to their house to play with them tomorrow.”

Rong Zhan was very surprised that Rong Han had made friends of the same age. However, when he saw his son’s pale little face, he had no choice but to reject his son’s request. “You were too reckless just now. You need to rest for the next three days. You can go after three days.”

“Hmph.” Rong Han was unhappy. He quickened his pace and left without looking back.

Rong Zhan looked helplessly at Rong Han’s back as she left. He turned to look at Diao Tianli. The gentle light in his eyes turned into a cold intent. “Bring him back. You must get the truth from him.”

“Yes!” Liu Yi and Liu Er agreed in unison.

Time flew by. It was the 70th birthday of Old Madam Gu.

The Gu family was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Almost all the important people in the capital had e to the Gu family to wait for them.

In the garden, the guests gathered here and chatted with each other.

Gu Qingxue stood at a corner of the long corridor, listening to Lan Wen introduce everyone to her.

“Eldest Miss, that’s the minister of war, and that’s the grand secretary’s wife. Their husband and wife’s son is the prince’s panion in the palace!” In order to serve her master well, Lan Wen had already pared the portraits, she had memorized the names and identities of some of the famous big shots in Jing City. Regardless of whether Gu Qingxue wanted to know the identity of anyone present, she could immediately identify them.

Gu Qingxue listened to Lan Wen’s introductions one by one and discovered a problem. “These people’s identities are actually so valuable? Why would people like them e to the Gu family’s birthday banquet?”

Other than a legitimate son who was an imperial physician in the palace, the Gu family had no one else in the imperial court. In addition, the Old Master of the Gu family was killed because he had done something wrong in the palace back then. Logically speaking, the Gu family should have fallen a long time ago.

However, the Gu family was different. Not only was their business doing well, but the third son of the Gu family was actually able to enter the palace and bee an imperial physician. Even the Old Madam’s birthday banquet attracted all the high officials and dignitaries in the capital.

It was not that Gu Qingxue looked down on the Gu family, but the Gu family was not worthy of this.

Lan Wen said matter-of-factly, “Eldest Miss, this is naturally because the Old Madam is a member of the Qi family! Have you forgotten? The general is still leading your cousins to guard the border.”

After hearing this, Gu Qingxue was stunned at first, but after brainstorming for a while, she finally remembered.

There was indeed such a thing.

The Qi family had been valiant and good at fighting for generations. From the generation of the old Madam’s great grandfather, they had been the great general stationed at the border.

The Old Madam was the Qi family’s first daughter. Her father had even died on the battlefield, causing her and her younger brother at that time to bee loyal and heroic orphans.

At that time, the Qi family had once declined. It was the old madam, a weak woman, who propped up the entire family. After grooming her younger brother to bee the new great general, she revitalized the Qi family.

When the Old Madam was young, she was once a powerful woman. It was said that she had some connections with the current empress dowager.

This was also the reason why when Gu Qingxue’s father made a mistake, the royal family did not involve the Gu family, but only executed Gu Qingxue’s father.

It could be said that the Gu family’s achievements today were all thanks to the Old Madam.

When Gu Qingxue thought of this, she also thought of a problem that she had not been able to figure out for the past few days.

She had been wondering why the person who poisoned her did not directly poison the Old Madam when they had the chance but only turned her into a demented person instead.
