Chapter 149 Lullaby
Wei Ling's expression changed, and he asked with some hesitation and a forced smile: "Why would you ask such a question?"
Ge Fu did not answer but asked: "How long was it between the time my parents got married and the time your sister died?"
Wei Ling was silent.
He didn't want to answer, but when he met Ge Fu's gaze, he thought that this matter was not difficult to investigate, so he said, "One month."
One month.
A mocking smile flashed across Ge Fu's lips. Seeing that Wei Ling didn't want to talk more, she didn't force him. She accepted Xunlong Group's invitation and served tea to see him off.
After he left, Ge Fu called Yao Niang and asked her, "My father and Xiao Yuan's father are not the same person, right?"
Although it was a question, her eyes were extremely certain.
The smile on Yao Niang's face gradually disappeared. Finally, she took a breath and asked tremblingly, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"That should be it." Ge Fu did not answer but asked: "Why didn't you tell me before?" Even the original body did not know about this.
Shouldn't this important information be told to her?
If not for this, no matter how kind Xiao Yuan behaved, the original body would not have trusted her wholeheartedly.
"What would happen if I told you?" Yao Niang said with a wry smile, "You trusted her so much at the beginning, but what did you get in the end? If you show that you don't trust her, the result will only be worse."
This makes a lot of sense. It is difficult for children to hide their true emotions. If Xiao Yuan finds out that her original self is hostile to her, she might not even have the chance to grow up.
"Then why didn't you say it later?" asked Ge Fu.
"What's the use of telling her?" Yao Niang's smile became even more bitter. "You didn't awaken to become an emotionalist, and you didn't get to serve in the imperial court. She's the emperor, and you can't do anything."
At first, they thought that they would tell the princess about these old stories after she awakened and became an emotional therapist, or after she entered the court as an official. Who knew...
This time it was Gofus turn to be silent.
Yes, what can we do now that we know?
With my current self, what can I do even if I know it?
Is she capable of dealing with an emperor?
Yes, now she has truly integrated into this world, into the role of Princess Hengyang, and she also truly understands that unless Xiao Yuan opens fire on her regardless of the consequences, she actually cannot do anything to her. The things that she originally feared will not happen so easily.
However, these are just passive defenses.
She had to admit that she had no offensive power against an emperor.
however……
"I still want to know." Seeing that Yao Niang seemed to want to object subconsciously, Ge Fu interrupted her and said, "I may not be able to do anything in this life, and I may not be able to do anything until I die, but I want to know."
Her eyes were clearer and colder than ever before. "If I didn't know, I would keep speculating and going over every possibility in my mind. I couldn't tell which one was the truth, but I also felt that they were all the truth. I couldn't help but feel hostile towards anyone."
"I don't want to live a life full of worries and fears. I would rather live a clear-headed life than live a confused life."
"So tell me everything."
Yao Niang's face turned pale and blue, and finally, she shook her head and said, "Let me think about it."
Ge Fu's face suddenly darkened.
She thought that at this point, Yao Niang would reveal something, but she didn't expect that even at this point, she remained tight-lipped.
What does this mean?
It meant that the truth was heavier than she thought.
Ge Fu had thought about ordering Yao Niang to tell it, but that would hurt Yao Niang's heart. She knew that she didn't want to tell it for her own sake - she felt that telling the truth would make her suffer.
In this case, we can only find out through other channels.
The people she trusted the most were undoubtedly You Rong and the other three.
Without hesitation, Ge Fu told them his suspicions and asked the three of them to help find clues.
You Rong and the others were all stunned.
"Are you suspecting that... King Chen Rui did not commit suicide?" Tan Xi widened his eyes.
"This is just one of the possibilities." Ge Fu touched his chin and said, "It is also possible that he committed suicide, but was forced to do so."
"By the way, you should first check the family of the person who hit and killed Wei Xiao and see what their current situation is." She reminded.
"Do you suspect that Wei Xiao's death was not an accident?" You Rong asked.
Ge Fu did not answer, but said: "We will know when the investigation results come out."
"I'll check this out." Zhuang Jingjing said, "My master opened a detective agency, so it's more convenient for me to check this out."
Ge Fu frowned and said, "Be careful not to let anyone notice it."
Zhuang Jingjing didn't understand at first, but after she understood, she nodded and said, "I will investigate it myself, not ask anyone else."
"Then I'll go ask the old people in the mansion." You Rong said, "They should know something."
Tan Xi said: "I'll check the relevant media reports from that year. I should be able to find some clues from them."
At night, Ge Fu woke up in the middle of his sleep.
As soon as she moved, Lu Yao subconsciously closed his arms and held her in his arms. He opened his eyes dazedly and asked, "Is it raining?"
Ge Fu shook his head, "No."
Lu Yao was puzzled, "Then why did you wake up?"
Ge Fu stammered and finally said, "No, I suddenly couldn't sleep."
Ok?
Just as Lu Yao was about to say something, Ge Fu asked, "Sing a song for me."
His body suddenly stiffened, "Please change your request."
"I just want to hear you sing." Ge Fu didn't make it difficult for him, "Just sing something that's not difficult, a nursery rhyme will do."
Lu Yao gradually relaxed, thought for a while, coughed lightly and began to hum: "Kiss my baby, let's meet in dreams. Come, follow mommy, mommy will take you to the beach, see..."
After he finished singing, Ge Fu was a little confused and said, "What song is this? Why have I never heard of it before?" Moreover, the song had no tune, and it felt like it was just humming casually. Although the lyrics were light and beautiful, they were also messy.
"I don't know what song it is." Lu Yao was now completely sober, and said calmly, "It was a lullaby my mother sang to me when I was a child. The lullaby she sang was actually talking to me. She liked to turn words into songs. The one I sang was the one she sang when she wasn't talking to me, and it was also the version she sang more often."
"I see..." Ge Fu couldn't help but lower her eyes, "No one has ever sung a lullaby to me."
No matter whether it was my previous life self or my original self in this life, I could not remember anyone ever singing a lullaby to me.
Her parents might have sung lullabies to her before she was two years old, but she was too young to remember at that time. Although You Niang and the others raised her, they treated her as their master in their hearts, so they never sang a lullaby to her after she could remember.
