Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This time, Judge Wu did not try to be brave. Instead, he looked at Gu Qingxue with a complicated gaze. How did you know about my relations.h.i.+p with your father?

I have many friends in Jing City. It is not difficult to find out who my father was good friends with, Gu Qingxue said with a light smile.

Seeing Judge Wus expression gradually turn serious, Gu Qingxue maintained a calm expression, but her heart was not as relaxed.

She had also learned about the friends.h.i.+p between her father and Judge Wu from her G.o.dmother.

Back then, Judge Wu was too honest, and had accidentally offended someone. He had been framed for poisoning a palace maid in the palace and was once imprisoned in the punishment hall for execution.

However, he was a tough nut to crack and refused to admit it no matter what. He would rather die than be framed by others. He was beaten black and blue by the executioners of the punishment hall.

It was her father who had examined the palace maids corpse, obtained the truth, and returned Judge Wu innocence.

Judge Wu had always been a vengeful person, and later on, he had eliminated those who had deliberately framed him one by one.

People like him valued friends.h.i.+p the most. Although he did not show it on his face, after her fathers accident, Judge Wu was the only one who disregarded his own safety to try to find out the truth of what happened that year. Although he did not succeed in the end, his sincerity was enough to explain everything.

Judge Wu saw the sharp glint in Gu Qingxues clear black and white eyes, and his lips suddenly curved into a light smile. Heh, I really didnt expect that a gentle person like your father would raise a daughter like you.

Gu Qingxue noticed that the aura exuding from Judge Wus body was less cold, so she walked back to his side and sat down again. She smiled and said, Ill just take it that your words are a compliment. Judge Wu, I would like to ask you to tell me, how did my father die that year?

The judge looked at Gu Qingxue. He did not know why, but Gu Qingxues clear eves made him think of her father. Gu Ye-

He could reject Gu Qingxue, but he could not reject Gu Yes daughter.

I dont know how your father died that year. I was incompetent and didnt find out the truth. I dont think you have the ability to find out the truth. Youre Gu Yes daughter, so you have the right to know the truth back then. However, Im warning you, even if you know the truth, dont do anything. Youre only a third-rank official. The person who wanted your fathers life back then could also easily get rid of you. Judge Wus words were sharp and merciless.

Gu Qingxue observed Judge Wus expression and realized that this person was just as the rumors said. His words were sharp and incisive, as if he was holding a spear in his hand.

However, the more straightforward he was, the easier it was to get along with him. She seemed to have understood why Judge Wu was able to get along so well with her gentle father.

Thank you, Judge Wu. I will do my best. As Gu Qingxue spoke, she looked at Qin Yun. Go stand guard outside the door. Dont let anyone get close.

Qin Yun left the back hall obediently.

Gu Qingxue poured a cup of tea for Judge Wu, who reached out to take it. After he finished it in one gulp, he looked at her with a complicated gaze. How much do you know about your father?

Gu Qingxue shook her head, her tone calm. I know almost nothing about my father. I have even forgotten what he looks like..
