Gu Ruizhou stopped Yuan Dao who was about to salute again. He had never thought of making friends with ministers in private before, but what the royal family did to the Gu Lin family and his sister recently made him change his mind.
"Many years have passed since the incident, sir. Don't worry about it. Over the years, I have learned that you are an upright official, and I feel that what you did back then was absolutely right."
After that, Gu Ruizhou talked about what happened that year. It was the emperor who didn't want Yuan Dao to know the truth:
"I didn't deliberately hide it from my lord. The Gu family has been stared at by countless pairs of eyes because it has the most powerful troops. Your Majesty has also made his attitude clear. You are a high official in the court, and you have many taboos about interacting with military commanders. You are really afraid of involving the two families. .”
Gu Ruizhou told the truth. In his words, there was no such consideration as Chu Chengyao who always thought about Yuan Dao. Instead, he spoke frankly to protect the Gu family.
It made Yuan Dao feel that Gu Ruizhou was sincere in his treatment of others, not comparable to the hypocritical Chu Chengyao, and he admired him even more in his heart...
Yuan Dao's heart was chilled by Chu Chengyao, but now he felt hot:
"I just learned about the general's kindness today. Yuan Dao would like to express my deep gratitude. It is a blessing to be an official in the same court as the general and the Gu family!"
The two laughed and chatted for a while, and their names changed to Brother Yuan and Ruizhou.
Gu Ruizhou said that the reason why he went to help Yuan Dao back then was because his sister regretted that Yuan Dao had a good reputation among the people and was a good upright official, so he went to check and help.
Because he still needed to find someone, Gu Ruizhou didn't stay long, and he said goodbye to Yuan Dao and got off the carriage neatly.
Yuan Dao opened the car curtain a crack and looked at Gu Ruizhou's tough back that was fading away:
"If the descendants of the Gu family can be generals from generation to generation, Tianchu will not be able to be strong for another hundred years." Putting down the car curtain, thinking of Chu Chengyao, Yuan Dao's smile faded, and he clenched his fist and hammered his side angrily:
Your Highness, Prince Jin, it has been really hard for me to lie to you for so many years...

In the cloth village.
Lin Jinyan, who had been out of the city for half a day to find someone, sat by the window and looked through the account books. Wei Zhong saluted and entered:
"Miss, after the court, Mr. Yuan Dao returned to the mansion with the prince. After coming out, he went around looking for the young master, and he just met him."
Lin Jinyan raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly:
"Good thing. It seems that Qin Zongliang found out the truth based on the news released."
Wei Zhong: "It was the young lady who thought carefully and released a few clues, which aroused Qin Zongliang's suspicion and investigated for a long time. He naturally believed what he found out on his own, but it took a long time."
Lin Jinyan: "It doesn't matter if it takes longer, safety is the first priority. Let Yuan Shangshu know what the King of Jin has done in these years privately through Yuan Shangshu and stuffed into the Ministry of Rites, and his ideas are slowly revealed to Yuan Shangshu. According to Yuan Shangshu's nature , will take action of his own accord."
Wei Zhongxi responded and asked in confusion:
"Miss, Mr. Yuan has known Prince Jin for many years and has a close friendship. Will he really turn against the prince because of this matter? Although he is a second-rank official, his foundation in the court is not deep, so he will not go against the prince, right? ?”
Lin Jinyan picked up the tea cup with her white jade green hands, and her eyes drifted away through the open window:
"When an opponent becomes a friend, he will be more reliable than a friend. But when a friend becomes an opponent, he will only be more difficult to deal with than the opponent. Although Yuan Shangshu has been friends with the King of Jin for many years, for a person who has deceived him from the beginning, the friendship is somewhat genuine. Woolen cloth?"
As she spoke, Lin Jinyan lowered her eyes to look at the tea in the cup. Her bright and beautiful face showed a calmness that did not suit her age:
"Trust between people is not easy. It is even more difficult to rebuild trust after it collapses."
"Many years have passed since the incident, sir. Don't worry about it. Over the years, I have learned that you are an upright official, and I feel that what you did back then was absolutely right."
