It was already the early hours of the morning.
But since it was winter, the night was still very dark, and there was no moon at this time either.
However, after standing in the darkness for a while, one could gradually make out the surrounding scenery.
Lady Yu heard a noise, turned her head, and then saw Gu Qingfeng walking out of the basement, leaning on a cane, his steps steady.
Seeing his sullen face, Lady Yu, at this moment, burst into tears.
Half a century had passed, and the great revenge was finally avenged, but why did her heart feel so empty?
Gu Qingfeng stopped five steps away from Lady Yu.
He did not dare to hope that Lady Yu would forgive him because of this.
But he only hoped that the punishment Ning Wanru received in the basement could lessen the hatred in Lady Yu’s heart.
There wasn’t much time left in the rest of his life.
Even if she never forgave him again, he still hoped Lady Yu would be well.
Because he knew he did not deserve Lady Yu’s forgiveness.
If only he had been calmer at the beginning.
Then, might not these fifty years of suffering have been avoided?
And at that time, there was definitely a traitor within the Gu Family, but as time passed, fifty years had gone by and it was uncertain whether those involved were still alive.
Even if they were, he had no idea where they were now.
And the only thing he could do was to let this chief culprit receive punishment in his own way.
And that man whom Ning Wanru obstinately refused to talk about.
The man who had pretended to be a bandit.
Gu Qingfeng had made inquiries back then, but without any results whatsoever.
It seemed as if that man had appeared out of thin air.
And his men, too, were very skilled.
They had almost overnight wiped out the entire Chang Family.
And at the same time, they had plundered all of the Chang Family’s finances.
And that man was obviously still alive.
Otherwise, Ning Wanru would not have chosen to die rather than speak.
According to the content of the letter written by Steward Chang, that man should be younger than him but older than Ning Wanru.
Gu Qingfeng was deep in thought.
After a long while, Lady Yu finally spoke, her voice a bit hoarse, "Let’s not tell the children about this yet."
Because Lady Yu knew that with Gu Qingfeng’s usual methods, Ning Wanru would not have a good end.
And Lady Yu did not want her children and grandchildren to know about this matter for the time being.
After all, their actions this time were somewhat illegal.
If some people grasped this issue, it would not be to the benefit of the Gu Family at all.
Therefore, for safety’s sake, it was prudent not to inform the family for now.
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "Okay, let’s not tell them for now, but we’ll find an opportunity to tell Qiaoqiao."
After all, Qiaoqiao was the future successor of the Gu Family.
There are some things she must know.
And through these few perilous encounters, it had become apparent that this successor of his was no ordinary person.
She was different from ordinary girls.
Lady Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
Gu Qingfeng, standing a few steps away, spoke in an equally hoarse voice, filled with concern, "Go back and rest, leave the rest to me."
Lady Yu looked at Gu Qingfeng with a complex expression, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but the words she was about to speak were forcibly swallowed back.
She still could not get over the hurdle in her heart.
Lady Yu turned and walked away.
Her slightly staggering figure disappeared into the night.
Two bodyguards followed closely, escorting Lady Yu back to her courtyard.
