Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



"23 years ago, the four major families in the capital, led by the Xia family, attacked the Situ family at the same time and slandered the Situ family for colluding with the enemy to commit treason!

"The Situ family had a clean family background, so how could they tolerate such slander? They tried their best to prove their innocence, but they fell into a trap. As the number one family in the capital, the Situ family sent people to negotiate with the four major families, but they all died unnatural deaths in the end."

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment. "You're talking about the virus war 23 years ago?"

A cold glint flashed past Yin Lianxin's eyes as she nodded and said, "Back then, when the virus affected the borders, everyone in the Situ family was focused on treating and saving people. Your grandfather was also unfortunately poisoned. Few people survived in the end. Some died, some were disabled, and some went missing.

"The Situ family were clearly the heroes of the country, but what awaited them when they returned to the capital was not praise or commendation. Instead, the various large families took advantage of the situation and attacked them. They divided their power and bought over the companies under their name. At that time, they lost their money and power in the capital and only had a good reputation. Naturally, they could not survive, so gradually, everyone forgot about them. They forgot that the Situ family were life-saving heroes. Even if someone still remembers them, they can only secretly pay their respects and not dare to let the people of the four large families know.

"Your father's family suffered a heavy blow and fell from the highest point in the capital to the bottom. On the other hand, those sinister, vicious, and selfish people became the top people in the capital."

eαglesnovel`c,om Yin Lianxin took a deep breath. "After they took over the capital, they didn't want your father to revive the family, so they sent people to kill Yunqiu and your father. Yunqiu was afraid of implicating us, so she didn't dare to contact the Yin family. She could only escape to Li City and marry Qiao Zhenguo. Your father's whereabouts are still unknown. Now that they know of your existence, they'll naturally make the first move in order to avoid your revenge."

Yin Lianxin looked at her with a burning gaze. "Xi Xi, you were going to find out about these things sooner or later. Instead of letting you investigate it yourself, I decided to just tell you everything. However, I don't want you to be involved in these disputes. The capital seems to be calm, but there are actually turbulent undercurrents. You must be more vigilant. I'll do my best to protect you and not let anyone hurt you."

Qiao Xi's expression was solemn. She knew the history of 23 years ago. The virus at the border of C Nation was wreaking havoc, and countless people were poisoned to death. A mysterious hidden family took the initiative to go and save most of the people, but they suffered heavy casualties. She had read about this family in history books.

However, she did not expect that they would encounter such a thing after returning to the capital.

Qiao Xi's voice was difficult. "The Situ family?"

Yin Lianxin suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Qiao Xi said, "The history books have written about that family with the surname Si, but I think their surname should be Situ. I've seen Old Master Situ and a sickly man. That man was poisoned, right?"

Yin Lianxin sighed. "Old Master Situ wanted to see you too much, so he personally came to Li City. I didn't expect this move to be noticed by the people in the capital. After that, Old Master Situ didn't dare to do anything for fear that they would notice your presence."

Qiao Xi sneered. "They're afraid that I'll take revenge and tell the truth, so they can't wait to get rid of me? I haven't even made a move yet, but just the title of Xia Yunqiu's daughter has already made them uneasy."

Yin Lianxin also smiled. "That's right. They did something wrong, so of course, they'll feel uneasy. Moreover, the Situ family had a few allies back then. They wouldn't bother to be associated with those families."

With that, Yin Lianxin looked up at Gu Zheng with a complicated expression. She casually waved her hand and said, "It's getting late. Go back and rest. Leave the Kang family's matters to me."

Qiao Xi knew that the Kang family would not have a chance to make a comeback this time. After Kang Ru compensated Kang Junjie 4.8 billion, it would be impossible for them to make a comeback.

…

The two of them had just arrived at Longwan Residential when the butler rushed forward. "President, Young Madam, Old Madam is awake!"

Gu Zheng's body suddenly tensed up as he held Qiao Xi's hand tightly.

"When Old Madam Lu woke up, she even watched the live stream of the press conference. She was afraid of disturbing you, so she called home and asked you to look for her after you were done."

"Alright! We'll go now. I'll go back to my room and pack my luggage. We'll spend more time with Grandma in the old residence." Qiao Xi looked at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng nodded. "It's time to go back. Something must have happened to the Gu family again."
