Gu Shengyin had just ordered people to carry the rewards from the palace to the warehouse when she saw the old housekeeper.
"Father, why is he looking for me?" The old housekeeper had always been by Old General Fu's side. Now that he came to find her, Gu Shengyin didn't have to think of other possibilities.
"Father." Gu Shengyin came to Old General Fu's study. The old housekeeper considerately closed the door, leaving the father and daughter some private space.
"Tell me honestly, what happened? His Majesty can't give so many rewards to our family for no reason. "Old General Fu looked at Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin didn't think so: "Didn't it say in the imperial edict? Princess Shuhe contracted a serious disease and our marriage was canceled. This is the compensation from the Royal Family … "
Old General Fu impatiently interrupted her: "I want to hear the truth." The royal family's excuse might be able to fool ordinary people, but for people like them, they knew that something must have happened.
Gu Shengyin suddenly gave a short laugh and looked at his father with a strange gaze. "Do you really want to know?"
Old General Fu looked at his daughter and frowned.
"Then I will tell you the truth. It was because Princess Shuhe didn't want to marry me. The last time I came back victorious, the assassination at the city gate was her doing."
Old General Fu squeezed the teacup in his hand so hard that a crack appeared.
He had thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"You …" He looked at his daughter with a dry throat, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he was also at fault. If it wasn't for his mistake, his daughter wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Gu Shengyin stood there quietly. She was waiting, waiting for Old General Fu to say something.
She knew that the real Fu Yunzhen was also waiting for her whole life. She didn't know what she wanted to hear. Maybe it was the affirmation from her father, or maybe it was the late regret of her father, or maybe it was something else.
However, Fu Yunzhen's life was too short. In the end, she didn't get what she wanted.
Gu Shengyin suddenly felt a strong sense of sorrow in her heart. She was shocked. This was not what she should be feeling.
The System gave the answer in time, "This is the instinct that the original owner, Fu Yunzhen, engraved in the depths of his body. The host was slightly affected for a while."
Gu Shengyin had also heard that hosts like them who were doing quests, such as herself, possessed the body of the original host. It was equivalent to living a new life in their place. The original host's soul had long since melted away. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to affect the host at all.
However, humans were, after all, one of the most mysterious races in the world. Their "feelings" were also the most complicated and difficult to understand.
Just like now, the real Fu Yunzhen had died long ago in her previous life, but some deep obsession remained in her body. Unless she got an answer, she would never be able to get rid of it.
As long as it didn't affect the mission, Gu Shengyin didn't mind helping these hosts complete their obsessions.
However, after waiting for a long time, she still didn't hear Old General Fu's words.
Gu Shengyin looked at him coldly. Old General Fu clearly had regret in his heart, but because of his personality and his face, he couldn't say a word of apology to his daughter.
She decided to give him a strong dose of medicine.
