Chapter 548: Gu Ye’s Death Was Too Tragic
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was because Gu Ye’s death was too tragic.
“I still remember very clearly that day when your father was beaten until he vomited blood, but he still refused to admit to his crimes. Before he died, he repeatedly emphasized to me that he had been wronged and asked me to seek justice for him no matter what. Unfortunately, I failed to live up to his trust in me.” Judge Wu’s eyes were slightly red. He suppressed the grief in his heart and drank the tea in his cup in one go.
Gu Qingxue took in the pain on his face, then poured him another cup of tea.
Judge Wu looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise and asked in confusion, “You actually don’t blame me at all?”
Hearing Judge Wu’s words, Gu Qingxue laughed. “What do you mean, Judge
Wu? Could it be that you were the one who harmed my father?”
“Of course not. Although I’m not a kind person, I won’t kill my life savior,” Judge Wu said with a serious expression.
Gu Qingxue nodded after hearing this, and replied with the same indifferent expression, “I’ve always been a vengeful person, but I can distinguish who I should really take revenge on. I think that someone must have wanted to use my father as a scapegoat back then, which led to this tragedy. I just want to find this person and take revenge for my father.”
Judge Wu’s expression immediately changed. He looked at Gu Qingxue with a worried expression and said sharply, “Have you forgotten what I told you just now? It’s been so many years since your father’s incident. Even if there was any evidence back then, there’s no way to investigate it now. Furthermore, the main culprit back then won’t let you have your way.”
Gu Qingxue saw the anxious look on Judge Wu’s face, but her expression remained calm as she smiled. “I know what to do. You don’t have to worry.”
Judge Wu’s thoughts had been seen through, but he was still trying to be brave, “Who’s worried about you? I just don’t want you to follow in your father’s footsteps. You’re the daughter of an old friend, I can’t just leave you to die.”
When Gu Qingxue heard Judge Wu’s words, she could not help but sigh at the fact that Judge Wu was not frank.
This person was clearly worried about her safety, but he had to put on such a disapproving look.
Gu Qingxue looked at Judge Wu and narrowed her eyes. “Judge Wu, who said that I don’t have evidence?”
When Judge Wu saw Gu Qingxue’s confident and high-spirited look when she spoke, he suddenly felt some hope. “What evidence do you have?”contemporary romance
“Back then, Beauty Yin died from taking medicine. Was there an autopsy?” Gu Qingxue asked.
“Of course not. Beauty Yin was very doted on at that time, and all the spearheads were pointed at your father. There was no need to continue investigating…” as Judge Wu said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something and looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise. “Don’t tell me you want to open the coffin and perform an autopsy?”
Under Judge Wu astonished gaze, Gu Qingxue nodded.
Gu Qingxue’s answer immediately drew the opposition of Judge Wu. “No! Are you crazy? That was a noble who had already been buried in the imperial tombs! Not to mention, this matter was decided by His Majesty back then. Aren’t you questioning His Majesty’s decision if you bring up the past?”
Gu Qingxue merely smiled and said nonchalantly, “Judge Wu, to others, it
might be very difficult to make His Majesty retract his sincerity. However, to me, it is not impossible..”
