Since everyone was seated randomly, the group was not the same.
There were two women and one man, two men and one woman, and there were also three people of the same sex sitting together.
Of course, there were also people who sat alone, such as Emperor Xuan...
Currently, the main characters had not arrived, but the seats had been arranged.
Since this banquet was a farewell banquet for Gu Xijiu, she was naturally the focus of attention.
Correspondingly, Gu Xijiu's father, Gu Xietian, had also become the focus of attention.
Gu Xietian had been extremely troubled these two days. Two days ago, he had killed Leng Xiangyu in anger. Although it felt good, there were also a lot of troubles.
First, he had settled Leng Xiangyu's case. He reported that she had died of a sudden illness and buried her in a thin coffin.
Of course, he did not bury her in the ancestral grave of the Gu Family, but chose a random hill to bury her.
In this era, women had a low status. As long as they violated the seven rules, they would be abandoned if they were light, and they would be sentenced to death if they were serious. Even if they were to be drowned in a pig cage, no one would care, and the government would not pursue the matter.
Moreover, Leng Xiangyu was born in a humble family. There were not many relatives in her family, and she was mean. Therefore, even her family did not want to stand up for her when she died. Gu Xietian gave them some money to make them shut up.
Unfortunately, Leng Xiangyu had used illegal means to get to where she was today.
She had harmed Luo Xinglan, plotted against Gu Tiannuo, and cheated Gu Xijiu... In the end, she had ended up like this. It was karma.
After he had settled Leng Xiangyu's case, he went to look for Gu Xijiu and found out that she had really left.
Not only had she left, but her maids had also left.
All the gifts that he had given her were placed on the table. It was obvious that she had cut off all ties with him...
Gu Xietian was angry and helpless at the same time. The children that Luo Xinglan had given birth to for him were very proud and they even wanted to cut off all ties with him...
However, according to the law of the Feixing Kingdom, parents could cut off all ties with their children. If the parents had made a statement, then it would be considered as a real cut off, and the government would recognize it.
However, when children sever ties with their parents, it could only be said out of spite. It would not be officially recognized.
He had connections and spies, so it was easy for him to find out where Gu Xijiu had gone. Yesterday evening, he went to look for her and wanted to talk to her, but he did not expect to be locked at the door. Gu Xijiu's four personal maids did not let him in at all. They said that Gu Xijiu had ordered them not to see outsiders.
Gu Xietian and his daughter's relationship was so tense, so he naturally didn't want to make their relationship worse by fighting. So, he said, "Then I'll pick her up tomorrow night to attend the banquet."
This evening, he did bring a carriage to pick her up, but he did not expect to find her. Gu Xijiu was not there at all, and he could not even find out where his daughter had gone.
When the Emperor held a banquet, everyone arrived early. No one dared to be late. Gu Xietian naturally did not dare to be late.
He ordered his men to secretly search for Gu Xijiu while he went to the banquet alone.
Those who came to the banquet were all court officials and their families. Which one of these court officials was not a crafty person?
