Chapter 115 Astral Projection
"What do you think, Aunt?" Gu Yu'an asked.
Gu Xinyi: "What my sister-in-law said is also what I was thinking. Besides, I don't have much experience, so it doesn't matter if the shop is small."
Gu Yu'an nodded and started scribbling on the paper again. The group then discussed some details, such as the layout and decorations of the shop.
Gu Linglong felt drowsy listening to them and soon began to snore. Perhaps she had exhausted herself helping the Second Prince absorb the Gu worms, and she had also heard them mention her father many times.
She began to sleep soundly, and as she slept, she started to dream. In her dream, Gu Mingtang was tied to a cross by guards, looking haggard with disheveled hair.
The jailer in front of him had a ferocious face and held a black whip with barbs, lashing Gu Mingtang's body again and again, leaving him covered in blood.
Gu Mingtang lowered his head and did not beg for mercy, only letting out low groans when he was whipped.
Gu Linglong felt a sharp pain in her heart and cried out in her mind, "Don't hit my father! Don't hit my father!"
Seeing that Gu Mingtang was so stubborn, the jailer beat him even harder.
"Will you tell me or not? Will you tell me or not?"
"Will you tell me or not? Will you tell me or not?"
"Pah, lackey!"
"I'll teach you to be stubborn. Are you going to talk or not?"
The jailer gave him a lash without saying a word.
"Will you tell me or not? Will you tell me or not?"
"Are you going to talk or not? Why the hell are you asking?"
The jailer was taken aback, then said fiercely, "Quickly tell me where you hid the embezzled silver?"
"I did not embezzle."
"Still dare to be stubborn?"
The sound of whips cracking could be heard again.
woo woo woo woo……
When Gu Linglong woke up, her face was covered in tears and she was still sobbing.
Su Xiuran picked her up with a pained expression: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Xiuran touched her daughter's forehead and found that she didn't have a fever, and then touched her stomach and found that she didn't feel overeating.
"What's wrong with Nannan?"
[Waaaaah, Mommy, I dreamt about Daddy! He got beaten so badly, waaaaah...]
Oh... thank goodness it wasn't something that made me feel unwell. Um... I got hit? My heart, which had just calmed down, jumped back up again.
But what can they do? They can't get in at all.
Wang Fugui suddenly darted out: "Lord White Tiger, you can go check on Lord Gu!"
[How can you tell? I can't even walk yet!]
Besides, even if my second son could help me visit him in prison, my mother wouldn't take me.
Wang Fugui: "Oh dear, have you forgotten that you can separate your primordial spirit from your body? You can use your primordial spirit to see him!"
Gu Linglong glanced at him sideways: "My power hasn't fully recovered yet, so I can't separate my primordial spirit from my body."
Wang Fugui turned around arrogantly: "And me too."
Gu Linglong expressed her doubt: "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Wang Fugui puffed out his small chest: "Why can't I do it?"
Gu Linglong really wanted to see her father before she could feel at ease.
What can you do?
"A temporary talisman for the separation of the primordial spirit; it can protect your primordial spirit."
Gu Linglong nodded: "Okay, let's go."
[Mother, I'm going to leave my body to see Father. Don't worry, I just look like I'm asleep.]
Gu Linglong muttered to herself, "I wonder if Sixth Brother knows how to write this talisman."
Su Xiuran was shocked. Her primordial spirit had left her body. How could this be? The elders all said that a child's primordial spirit was unstable.
She took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to persuade her without revealing that she could hear her thoughts, when she glanced down at Linglong and she stopped moving.
"Linglong, Nannan?"
Su Xiuran didn't dare touch her and just stayed by her side.
Gu Linglong emerged from her own body and looked at it with a sense of novelty.
She floated in mid-air and recited an incantation, and a light shield enveloped her body to prevent any ignorant creatures or evil spirits from clashing with her.
"Let's go, let's go find Dad."
Gu Linglong and Wang Fugui flew to the Ministry of Justice without any hindrance, and after searching for a while, they finally found Gu Mingtang.
[Father, Father, Father]
Gu Mingtang sat on the ground, looking nothing like the disheveled and bloody figure in her dream.
Gu Mingtang leaned against the wall, his face haggard and thinner than when Gu Linglong had seen him before, but his eyes were still bright and piercing.
It seemed that no difficulty could defeat him.
Gu Linglong thought to herself, "My father's clothes are quite clean."
"Sir, this way please," the jailer said obsequiously.
A figure in dark gray nodded slightly: "Thank you. I have some questions for Lord Gu. Please keep your distance."
"Yes"
The figure in dark gray tilted its head and entered the cell.
"coming?"
Gu Linglong floated over. Zhou Zhixing? Isn't he from the Dali Temple?
Zhou Zhixing sat down at the table: "I brought you some good wine and food."
Gu Mingtang patted himself off and sat down directly opposite Zhou Zhixing: "Of all my subordinates, you're the most conscientious."
Zhou Zhixing's ears turned slightly red, and he nervously opened his bundle: "I'm not from the Ministry of Justice. I was only able to come here because your case is being investigated jointly with the Court of Judicial Review, but I can't come all the time."
"I'm not very capable, I just want you to be comfortable with food and clothing."
Zhou Zhixing took out two sets of coarse clothes and handed them to Gu Mingtang: "These are the only clothes you can bring. Don't mind them."
Gu Mingtang gave a wry smile: "At a time like this, there's no time for complaints. Thank you."
"That's all I can do," Zhou Zhixing said, taking out a few plates of side dishes and a pot of wine from the food box.
"Drink?"
"Okay, have a drink."
Gu Linglong thought to herself: No wonder my father looks so clean.
[This uncle is a good match! I hereby unilaterally declare my approval of your marriage to my aunt.]
Zhou Zhixing poured Gu Mingtang a glass: "Your sister and Cui Shenghe have divorced."
Gu Mingtang was stunned for a moment, then burst into curses: "Shameless scoundrel! Did that bastard take a concubine? Are you taking advantage of me because I can't stand up for my sister here?"
"Isn't your sister-in-law there? She went to bring your younger sister out, so don't worry."
Gu Mingtang sighed softly, "She must have had a hard time." Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Go pick her up? Cui Sheng still won't let her go?"
Zhou Zhixing looked troubled: "Well...it was a bit unpleasant."
"What happened?"
Seeing that Zhou Zhixing remained silent, Gu Mingtang became anxious: "Say something! That's my own sister, born of the same mother. Xin... Xinyi, could something have happened to you?"
Zhou Zhixing patted Gu Mingtang on the shoulder reassuringly: "It was Cui Sheng who beat your sister, leaving her with a bloody head."
"What"
Gu Mingtang jumped up and shouted, "I'm going to chop that bastard to pieces!" Gu Mingtang paced back and forth anxiously.
"How did it end? Are you alright?"
"It's okay, we're divorced now."
"No way! I can't swallow this! My own sister was so naughty when she was little, and I couldn't even bring myself to hit her. How dare he lay a hand on her?"
"Hey, do me a favor, put this bastard in a sack and beat him up."
Zhou Zhixing hesitated, "This isn't a good idea. Besides, have you forgotten that I'm in charge of your case? Instigating officials to commit crimes is an aggravating circumstance."
Gu Mingtang rolled his eyes: "Just tell me whether you'll help or not. I've wanted to teach that kid a lesson for a long time."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely help you with this."
Zhou Zhixing's lips curled slightly as he lowered his head to drink, trying to hide his displeasure. Very well, his future brother-in-law now harbors a grudge against Cui Sheng; he's completely out of the game!
