Chapter 631 Do You Know How Much You Have?
The person lying on the bed was still coughing. When he heard footsteps, he just turned his head to the side to take a look, then turned his head back.
Gu Chaoxi walked over and sat down beside the bed.
"Why did my father ask me to come here?" she asked directly, looking up at Ji Ze.
This man was lying on the bed, his face so pale that he could hardly move, but he was still holding on and hadn't died. To be honest, Gu Chaoxi still admired him.
Ji Ze closed his eyes and spoke to Gu Chaoxi after a while.
"Xiangxiang, how much do you know about the affairs in the mansion?"
"Father?" She didn't quite understand what the basis for Ji Ze's question was.
The person lying on the bed chuckled twice, and it sounded like there was something stuck in his throat, and the sound was not very pleasant.
She glanced at Ji Ze twice and then silently looked away.
Her face was paler than before. She must not suddenly turn into a ghost or a monster. She was not mentally prepared for a fight or anything like that.
Fortunately, Ji Ze just coughed and there were no other changes.
To be honest, Gu Chaoxi felt that the temperature around him had dropped, which was really a bit abnormal.
"Or, were you involved in covering up the crime to some extent?" Ji Ze's voice seemed to knock at her heart again and again.
This feeling made Gu Chaoxi feel very bad.
She didn't say anything, not knowing what Ji Ze was planning.
After a while, Gu Chaoxi turned his head to look over. Ji Ze's gaze was so strong that it was almost impossible to escape.
Gu Chaoxi clenched his fingers subconsciously. Did this person know everything from the beginning, but just kept it in his heart and didn't say it out loud?
"It's not a cover-up. I only knew about it a short time ago."
"Before morning." Ji Ze was very sure.
Rarely, Gu Chaoxi was a little dazed and her consciousness was blurred for a moment, but she soon regained consciousness.
Although Ji Ze coughed badly, he was able to speak normally after a while.
"You used to be at odds with your eldest brother, but now you know how to listen to him." Ji Ze sneered and asked Gu Chaoxi to look at him.
She froze for a moment.
The relationship between the second young lady and the eldest young master was actually not that good in the past.
One was the daughter born to the first wife, and the other was the daughter born to the second wife. When they were young, the second wife was very concerned about why her own child was not as outstanding as the first wife's.
It doesn’t matter even if it’s a daughter, she is raising her very carefully.
So when the second young lady saw the eldest young master when she was a child, her first reaction was that this brother was her rival.
I must surpass him and work harder than him, so that my father can see my excellence and change his idea that only boys can succeed.
But some things cannot be changed just by your efforts, just as no one can change the importance of the eldest master as Ji Ze's first son in Ji Ze's eyes.
Even though the second concubine gave birth to the fourth young master, and even though the first wife had a third young master, they could not resist the meaning of the eldest young master in Ji Ze's heart.
After all, only the eldest son is different to him.
But why? Why did he, obviously his most beloved son, end up doing such a thing?
"Xiangxiang, tell the truth."
"I." She took a deep breath and was speechless for a moment.
But Ji Ze continued, "Xiangxiang, my body can't take it. If you tell me, I might feel better."
"Why didn't father ask my eldest brother?" What could she say? She wanted to ask why first.
"If your elder brother is sincere, can he do such a thing?" Ji Ze tilted his head: "Who are they? I think you know."
"Big brother, little four, and fifth sister." After she said that, Ji Ze fell into silence.
To be honest, Gu Chaoxi didn't beat around the bush at all and just told everyone the truth directly. Ji Ze was really stunned at this moment.
"Is Xiao Si also the one who is playing tricks?"
"It's the fifth sister." It really wasn't the fourth young master. He was just participating and diverting attention.
Ji Ze chuckled twice, realized something, and sighed: "These years, it has been really hard for them."
This "they" should refer to the fifth sister and the third concubine, right?
Indeed, the fifth sister has suffered from major and minor illnesses over the years, and in Ji Ze's eyes, she has always been like a medicine jar.
So, even if he thinks that the Fifth Miss is involved in this matter, he would not think that the Fifth Miss is the one who is playing tricks.
After a while, Ji Ze closed his eyes and said, "He really thought I didn't know about that secret passage."
"What?" Gu Chaoxi frowned and looked up at Ji Ze.
His eyes were staring straight up at this moment, without focus, and he was just muttering.
But she heard it very clearly, and every word he said seemed especially clear in Gu Chaoxi's ears.
Ji Ze knew the secret passage, and he even knew where it led to and what it could be used for.
"I gave him so much trust, and in the end I became the bad guy."
Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything for a long time. Ji Ze waved his hand and said, "Go back and do whatever you want. Didn't the Second Concubine want you to study abroad? Go ahead."
She stood up from the bed, took a few steps, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Ze slowly sitting up from the bed with his arms.
I wanted to help, but after thinking it over, I restrained myself.
His face was very pale, and his whole body was shaking from the movement of sitting up and carving violently.
If it were in reality, there would be more exhalation than intake.
But Ji Ze still sat up leaning against the head of the bed. The light beside the bed was partially blocked by the curtains, and she could not see Ji Ze's expression clearly.
His voice was light and fluttery: "Xiangxiang, I am an incompetent father."
What is this? Is it possible that a dying man speaks good words?
Gu Chaoxi didn't look back. She didn't know what was waiting for Ji Ze. Suddenly, she didn't want to know so much.
When I came out, the sky seemed to be much darker and a little lonely.
A wind blew over, bringing fallen leaves from some yard and landing at her feet.
She looked down for a while, then took a step forward and continued to walk forward without stopping.
After turning a few corners and returning to his yard, Pei Yan was still waiting there.
"You've been gone for a long time." He stood up from his chair. The other two people were sitting in the room drinking tea and playing chess.
Gu Chaoxi looked into the house. The lights were on. Shen Yao and Qi Chuzhao were playing chess. It seemed that life was peaceful and quiet.
When Violet came in from outside carrying a box, Gu Chaoxi turned around and looked over.
He was a little surprised: "You're back from there, I just went to get some cakes, would you like some?"
Then he carried the box into the house.
Pei Yan came over and took her into the house, then turned his head and asked her what had just happened.
She was stunned. She clearly hadn't been at Ji Ze's place for long, so why was it already dark?
