After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Gu Jinnian was extremely unhappy when he came in late and was ignored by Gu Xingnian, but he knew very well what kind of temper his sister had, and the only person to blame was Chen Qingzhou!

Gu Jinnian narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, looked at Chen Qingzhou's back, snorted coldly, and then looked at Su Mo.

"mother."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Only then did Gu Xingnian notice that his second brother was also back.

The little girl tilted her head and called out "Second Brother" with a smile.

The tone of voice is delicate and soft, sweet.

Gu Jinnian seemed to be warming up from the cold winter. Although his face was still expressionless, the aura around him was indeed much calmer.

"Have you thought about where to go tomorrow?"

The last time Gu Jinnian went to the academy, Gu Xingnian had pestered Gu Jinnian and wanted him to take her out to play during his break.

Gu Jinnian didn't refuse at that time, but he didn't agree either. He just said he would see when the time comes.

Gu Jinnian wanted more time to read poetry and books more than play, and he planned to give it a try next year.

But now that something like this happened at home, Gu Jinnian thought about fulfilling his sister's wish and making her happy.

As expected, when Gu Xingnian heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.

"I have already thought about it. Let's get up early, go to Nanping Street to eat wontons, and then go to the Ruyi Pastry Shop not far away to queue up to buy red bean cakes..."

This is a famous food shop in the capital that Gu Xingnian specifically asked about from Gu Guanshi and other servants.

After eating wontons, buy other food, and then take the carriage to Guiyun Mountain.

At that time, while eating delicious food, you can enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus. You can also ask Jade to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus to make sachets.

As for the second brother, he doesn't like sweets or looking at flowers and plants, so he can just go and pay homage to Emperor Wenchang in the small temple in the mountain.

Grandpa Gu said that the second brother is a scholar, so it’s good for him!
The little girl clasped her fingers and recited her plan carefully. Gu Jinnian's eyebrows gradually softened as he listened.

But the next moment, he saw Gu Xingnian raise his head and look at Chen Qingzhou, his eyebrows curved, "Brother Qingzhou, you will come with us tomorrow~"

Chen Qingzhou felt like a spring breeze, "Okay."

Gu Jinnian immediately clenched his fists.

Gu Xingnian didn't notice anything strange about her second brother. When she heard Chen Qingzhou responded, the smile on her face became even bigger.

But she suddenly thought of Gu Ping'an again, her smile disappeared, her face suddenly twisted into a ball, and then she looked at Su Mo with a pout.

"Mom, when will eldest brother come back?"

Only then did Gu Jinnian remember the stupid brother from home. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo, who had just learned about Gu Ping'an's return date from Mu Si this morning, smiled and said, "It's coming soon, it will only take seven days at most."

Gu Xingnian counted with his fingers. Although he didn't know how long seven days was, he felt nothing wrong with his fingers.

The little girl blinked and nodded pretending to understand, "Oh ~ that's almost over!"

Gu Jinnian glanced at her close friend Mo Ruoxiong and understood that the little girl was pretending to understand.

He didn't expose it, just said: "If it's seven days, after he comes back and another seven days pass, I should take a rest again."

The little girl's face suddenly dropped.

The second brother went to the academy the day after tomorrow, the eldest brother came back seven days later, and the second brother took a rest again seven days later.

Every time I wait for my second brother Mu Xiu, I feel like I have to wait for a long, long time. This is half and half, which means that seven days is still a long time...

It obviously didn’t take long to count on the fingers!unhappy!
There's nothing he can do if he's unhappy. It's not up to him or Su Mo to decide when Gu Pingan will come back.

Moreover, the little girl's emotions came and went quickly. As the servants brought the dinner, she smelled the fragrance and immediately forgot about Gu Ping'an's return.

Because she was going out for fun tomorrow, Gu Xingnian took Jade and Amber back to the backyard after dinner. She wanted to wash up early and then go to bed.

Before leaving, the little girl specifically told Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou to rest early so as not to delay their departure due to being unable to get up.

The two of them naturally agreed.

Gu Xingnian was here, and Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou made a tacit agreement not to interfere with the assassination.

When Gu Xingnian left, the two of them had no worries.

Of course, Chen Qingzhou didn't ask too much, and simply said a few greetings to show his concern.

After all, he was staying at Gu's house. To put it bluntly, he was just a guest. If he interfered too much in the host's family's affairs, he would inevitably appear to be ignorant.

Su Mo also replied a few words, roughly saying that Chen Qingzhou was interested and everything was fine with her, and then asked Chen Qingzhou to go back to the yard to rest early. After all, she had to get up early tomorrow to go out with Gu Xingnian.

Chen Qingzhou understood the meaning and immediately nodded in agreement, stood up and left, making room for Su Mo and Gu Jinnian, mother and son.

Gu Jinnian lowered his eyes and concentrated on eating. When he heard Chen Qingzhou's footsteps disappear, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and raised his eyes to look at Su Mo.

"Mom, what's going on with the assassination?"

Gu Jinnian has studied with Xie Wenci for a long time, and now that he has come to the capital and entered Minglu Academy, his mind has become more mature.

Recalling all the events at the beginning, we can already see that Fang Shi was cautious, thoughtful and valued his official career.

At first, he was reinstated as a judge by virtue of the saline-alkali land reform provided by Su Mo. Now Su Mo was summoned to the capital, and was first allowed by Emperor Jingyong to enter the palace in a carriage, and then was given the privilege of being led by Gu Qinhan, who was the black armored guard. Escorted out of the palace and checked into Gu's mansion.

The noble court officials in the capital were a little wary of Su Mo. As one of them, Fang Shi shouldn't have done something like paying huge sums of money to hire assassins to assassinate Su Mo, which would ruin his career.

Therefore, when Gu Jinnian learned from Gu Guanshi that Fang Shi was the mastermind behind the assassination, and that he was assassinated in front of the town patrol department, he immediately felt that something was fishy.

Su Mo has never regarded Gu Jinnian as an ordinary child. Although Gu Jinnian is young, his mind is much higher than that of children of the same age, and sometimes he even thinks more thoughtfully than she, an adult.

It's just that the assassination was too involved, so the less Gu Jinnian knew, the better.

Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, but he still concealed the fact that Fang Shi was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and instead revealed all the grievances between Fang Shi and the Su family.

The reason for the assassination was pointed at Fang Shiben, who used the Su family's property as a stepping stone. Now he learned that Su Mo went to Beijing to take back the Su family's property, which would hinder his official career, so he became interested in killing.

Gu Jinnian listened carefully and frowned more and more.

He asked how could Fang Shi behave so inappropriately because it turned out that there was still such a layer of the past.

Gu Jinnian narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists when he thought of how Fang Shi had shamelessly acknowledged his mother as his sister when he was in Luoshan Village.

It would be better for such deep-thinking people to die.

Of course, Su Mo's words fell on Gu Jinnian's ears, and Gu Jinnian got two pieces of information.

First, Fang Shi has nothing to do with this matter.

Second, Fang Shi must have an accomplice with a special status.

Not to mention other things, if the reason was really as Su Moruo said, then how could Fang Shi be assassinated in front of the town patrol department?

The charge of assassinating an official of the imperial court was treason. Even if a gangster killer retaliated, he would not shoot Fang Shi dead in front of the town patrol department in broad daylight.

In Gu Jinnian's opinion, this move was more like a provocation.

But it was obvious that Su Mo wanted to hide it, so he would naturally not get to the bottom of it. She didn't want to say it, but she had her reasons.

I take care of my baby every day at home, and I can’t even notice the passage of time. It feels like the last update was two days ago. I just looked at the update page and realized, my dear, it’s been seven or eight days since the last update.
