What happened?
How could it be that he had just gone out on official duty, and upon his return, his granddaughter had even made a baby?
No, that wasn’t right—it was gone again.
He had just become a great-grandfather, and now the little one was already no more...
No, no, no, the focus is all wrong!
How could he have a great-grandson?
Yuan Baolin wasn’t even married yet, was she? That was Baolin’s voice, he hadn’t misheard, had he? Even if he had, the little Taoist nun holding the man’s hand had to be their own, right?
He certainly wasn’t blind!
Prime Minister Yuan finally snapped out of it, realizing he hadn’t just heard the news, he had caught them in the act!
Who is this damned kid?!
Before leaving, Gu Jiao had told Gu Changqing about the little Taoist nun’s complications, but hearing it from someone else and listening to the little Taoist nun’s own sobs were two entirely different matters.
She held his hand, her tears falling thick and fast, the genuine pain of losing a child shocking Gu Changqing to his core.
Just as he was too stunned to speak, a deadly aura suddenly shot towards him from behind!
Gu Changqing whirled around, only to see Prime Minister Yuan standing at the door, fuming with rage. Gu Changqing’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively withdrew his hand!
Too late though, Prime Minister Yuan had seen everything he was supposed to see, and heard every word that shouldn’t have missed his ears!
With a murderous vibe, Prime Minister Yuan charged into the room, came to the side of the bed, and stood between them, with Gu Changqing consciously stepping back a few paces.
"Who are you?" Prime Minister Yuan demanded harshly.
The circles in Capital City were vast, and the Yuan Family had little contact with the Marquis Residence, so Prime Minister Yuan had only seen the old marquis in Jinluan Hall.
Last time in Bishui Alley, Gu Changqing was hidden while Prime Minister Yuan was in the open, resulting in Gu Changqing secretly seeing him, but him not seeing Gu Changqing.
Now it was over, he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
With a headache, Gu Changqing bowed slightly: "I am Gu Changqing from the Marquis Residence, I have met Prime Minister Yuan."
Prime Minister Yuan’s eyes narrowed dangerously: "Gu Changqing... the grandson of Gu Chao?"
