"What did you say?" Ge Fu stood up suddenly, staring at Zhuang Jingjing opposite him.
Zhuang Jingjing pursed her lips and said, "It's true. My junior sister just passed me the news from China. She said that my master let it slip after getting drunk."
Geng Ying has a low alcohol tolerance and will answer whatever is asked when she is drunk. Fortunately, she knows her own limitations and when others ask her to drink, she will either turn them down or take hangover pills beforehand.
"Are you sure your junior sister didn't hear it wrong?" Ge Fu confirmed again.
Zhuang Jingjing nodded, "Please watch the video."
Ge Fu took the phone, clicked on the video and started watching.
In the video, Geng Ying was obviously drunk, sipping wine while picking up peanuts with trembling hands.
"Master, you and the late Duke grew up together, right?" a crisp female voice rang out.
"That's not true. We got into trouble together when we were kids. Every time I tried to cheat, the Duke would grab me by the collar and turn me in. I hate that about her."
"You are probably not the only one who grew up with the Duke of Xian, right?"
"Of course not only, You Xiaoxian, Hua Zifang, Guan Yishan, Tong..."
"Then General Yang should be the same, right?"
"Yes, but he is a hypocritical person. He is only friendly with the Duke. He looks at us with disgust."
"He has a good relationship with the Duke of Xian, right?"
"More than that? The Duke wanted to marry him in the beginning, but he refused." Geng Ying hiccupped and said, "We don't know exactly what happened, but the Duke married Prince Chen Rui not long after."
The video ends here.
After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, Ge Fu took a deep breath and put down her phone. She really wanted to enter the video and ask Geng Ying a question on behalf of the junior sister: Is the relationship between Yang Shaoheng and King Chenrui good?
Since Yang Shaoheng had rejected Ge Yao, there should be no hostility between him and Xiao Chun, but Ge Fu couldn't help but have doubts. It's not that she didn't believe Yang Shaoheng, but... Xiao Chun's death was too strange.
He committed suicide, and as expected, he voluntarily chose death for the sake of his children.
To make this choice while leaving behind a child, Gof's intuition forced him to do so, which was a contradiction.
Like an enemy but not an enemy, like a friend but not a friend.
Otherwise Xiao Chun would not feel comfortable leaving the child behind.
But Yang Shaoheng...
Ge Fu shook his head, thinking that he was probably overthinking it.
After a moment's silence, she said to Zhuang Jingjing, "Please help me find out who else survived the Battle of Longcheng besides Uncle Yang, and when did Uncle Yang come back. Also, please find out the details of the Battle of Longcheng..."
Zhuang Jingjing nodded.
When Lu Yao came back, Ge Fu was lying on the lounge chair on the balcony, staring blankly at the clouds floating leisurely in the sky.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao bent down and gently kissed her eyelids.
Ge Fu blinked, "You're back! How's the venue being arranged?"
Lu Yao stood up straight, took off his coat and handed it to You Rong who was walking over, then sat down on the chair next to him and said, "Except for the flowers, which need to be airlifted over that day, everything else is almost ready."
Ge Fu hummed, and his thoughts drifted away again.
"Xiangxiang?"
Ge Fu suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "When did you start calling me Xiangxiang?"
"It's been a long time." Lu Yao didn't really remember it, it seemed like he just called it that unconsciously.
Ge Fu lowered her eyes and said, "Before, the only people who called me Xiangxiang were Xiao Yuan, Xiao Chen and Uncle Yang." And these three people were obviously relatives recognized by the original body.
In her heart, Xiao Yuan was no longer qualified to be called by this nickname, but Xiao Chen was... But Yang Shaoheng...
"Is General Yang good to you?" Lu Yao wanted to know more about Yang Shaoheng, so he asked.
"Very good." Ge Fu said, "Xiao Yuan was also very good to me before, but he gave me all kinds of good things, and Uncle Yang... When I was young, he often took me out to play, and whenever he went on a mission, he would bring me souvenirs. When I was about twelve years old, the school organized an autumn outing, but something happened and we were trapped in the mountains. Uncle Yang was on a mission at the time, and after seeing the news, he dropped his mission and ran to the mountains to find me. That time, I and a dozen classmates got lost and walked into the mountains. It was raining and foggy at the time, so helicopters couldn't get in, and police dogs couldn't find people by smell. If Uncle Yang hadn't found me, I don't know if I could have survived. Uncle Yang himself was punished for this, and he was sent on dangerous overseas missions for three consecutive years. Because of this, he was not in the country when my college entrance examination application was tampered with."
That's it.
Lu Yao blinked slightly. It seemed that Yang Shaoheng was really sincere to Xiangxiang.
However, this does not mean that he will not be Mu Zhiheng.
If he was Mu Zhiheng, then he was raised by the Ge family. Even though he was a general from an enemy country, the Mu family never treated him unfairly. With such friendship, it was reasonable for him to protect Xiangxiang.
But...if he is Mu Zhiheng, then his kindness is not eternal.
Then the question arises, how loyal is Yang Shaoheng to Jinglong?
This is not something that can be easily seen.
After all, Yang Shaoheng had only lived in Jinglong for four years, and most of his life was spent in Hengyang. Even if he was loyal to Jinglong, how loyal could he be?
But, if he was not loyal to Jinglong, why did he leak the news that year, leading to the siege of Longcheng and the death of Ge Yao in battle?
——Compared to Ge Fu, Ge Yao is the one who truly grew up with him.
Lu Yao always felt that there was something inside that he hadn't figured out.
Ge Fu looked up at Lu Yao and asked with some uncertainty: "Uncle Yang... won't harm me, right?"
She herself was not aware that when she asked this question, she was feeling a bit panic and fearful.
The words of comfort that came out of his mouth were swallowed back, and Lu Yao said calmly: "Of course not, the emotional master has another battlefield. After all, you are just an ordinary person, and you are not a threat to him. He has no reason to hurt you."
No threat?
Ge Fu pinched his thumbs. He was just an ordinary person and posed no threat to Uncle Yang. Xiao Chun was also an ordinary person and posed no threat to Uncle Yang. Then...what about Ge Yao?
No, no.
Ge Yao quickly shook her head. No, Yang Shaoheng was an orphan raised by the Ge family. He had no reason to harm Ge Yao. His emotional beast was a happy beast. Although it was rare, it was not good at fighting. If Ge Yao was still alive, it would be beneficial to him.
She told herself this over and over again, and it took her a long time to calm herself down, but there was unconscious panic in her eyes.
Lu Yao couldn't bear it and turned his eyes away, not wanting the pain in his heart to overflow.
He clearly wanted her to be safe and happy, but he had to watch... and even pushed her into anxiety with his own hands.
