However, the Du family has no way, no dignitaries and nobles they know, and it is far away from the capital.

Although Dumont is said to be an Orion, the farthest place is to Fucheng.

By the way, the Du family, like the Gu family, is from Yongning Mansion, but it is not the same county seat as Gujiatun, and it is a little far away.

How could a person who had never even set foot in the county seat inquire about such news.

What's more, let's talk about a very practical question. Dumont's wife is sick in bed all the year round, Gu Jingzhe is still young, and the family's money can only maintain food and clothing to buy medicine for his wife, so he really has no extra energy and ability. Besides, what about inquiring? Gu Jingzhe couldn't run all the way to the place of exile, and he couldn't rescue the Gu family.

This matter can only be seen one step at a time.

But from that time on, Gu Jingzhe worked very hard to make money with Dumont to support his family, on the one hand, to make his family's life better, and on the other hand, he also wanted to save some money. Even if you can't rescue the Gu family, it's good to ask where they are and go to see your father and sister.

This savings lasted for ten years.

During this period, Gu Jingzhe also became a relative, when he was eighteen years old.

It's just that after four or five years, his wife has not been pregnant, and Gu Jingzhe didn't feel that he had to have a child because he was influenced by his adoptive parents.

But there is a lot of gossip in the village, some people say that it is because the father and son of the Du family are hunters, and they have killed too much and have been retributed, so they can't stay behind.

This incident made Gu Jingzhe very annoyed, and later got into a fight with the gossiping people in the village, which slowly subsided.

Later, it encountered the famine year of Yongning Mansion.

The Du family also fled from Yongning Mansion, but during the escape from the famine, Du's mother, who was already frail and sick, failed to survive. Gu Jingzhe's wife couldn't stand it, and met other rich people on the way and ran away with the man.

Before running, she also told Gu Jingzhe that it was not her problem that she couldn't have children, and the reason was Gu Jingzhe.

It was Gu Jingzhe who made her suffer from those gossips, and it was he who couldn't give her a good life.

Only then did Gu Jingzhe know that his wife had always been haunted by the rumors at the beginning, and she also felt that it was the Du family's murder that was too heavy, which would lead to no queen.

His wife also ran away, leaving only the father and son and the children still struggling to escape the famine.

Fortunately, he has been saving money all these years, and when he arrived in the capital of Wanqing Mansion, he could have a place to stay, and he stayed there to find a job.

Later, he met the prince of King Lu.

When Gu Jingzhe was hunting in the mountains, the prince of Lu Wang was also separated from the guards in the mountains, and was being chased by a wild boar and was rescued by Gu Jingzhe on the spot.

Grateful for his life-saving grace, the prince brought him and Dumont back to the capital.

For Gu Jingzhe, this was the first time they had met such a noble person.

King Lu wanted to repay him, and Du Meng suggested that he could inquire about the whereabouts of the Gu family.

But he also reminded him that even if he was King Lu's life-saving benefactor, don't tell him about his identity as the third son of the Gu family for the time being, only say that he had received Gu Yiping's favor at the beginning, and he was bent on remembering it, wanting to know his whereabouts and find an opportunity to repay him.

King Lu immediately found someone to do it without saying a word, and people like them were naturally efficient, and they came back in less than half an hour.

After Gu Jingzhe learned of the situation, he wanted to go to Linxun Island, but was stopped by King Lu.
