Chapter 1329 A father’s instinct and conscience!
After finishing teaching Jingren, Gu Sansi left the palace and got on the carriage back to his own residence.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Sansi's thoughts were very complicated. Although he was appointed as Jingren's teacher by Ye Mingsheng in the past, he disdained to associate with An Miaoyi and others!
In his eyes, although An Miaoyi is the mistress of the Fengwu Army, she is a greedy person who is of no benefit to the country or the people. If Ye Mingsheng had not insisted on letting him be the teacher of Master Jingren, Gu Sansi would not be willing to have any contact with An Miaoyi.
However, as he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel by Ye Mingsheng and became a powerful cabinet elder, Gu Sansi's thoughts gradually changed.
Gu Sansi was clearly aware of the changes in his thinking, but he was able to comfort himself that time flies, and it was normal for his mentality to change!
After so many years of unremitting efforts and struggles, he is no longer the down-and-out scholar who was talented but not appreciated and had unfulfilled ambitions. He is now the powerful elder of Daqian!
And since you are a cabinet minister, you should be more mature and prudent in your actions and consider more factors. After all, every decision you make will affect hundreds of thousands of people, so you must think carefully!
But when he saw Chu Zhiyi in the prison of the Ministry of Justice and heard Chu Zhiyi's words "Don't forget your original intention, and you will succeed", Gu Sansi's heart was really touched. He truly realized that those mature and thoughtful words were nothing but excuses to deceive himself and comfort himself!
Power, status, even money, these things of women have corrupted my will, making me hesitant to move forward, without the determination and courage I once had...
I have even gradually evolved into the person I despised in the past, and became one of those people who were just sitting in office and doing nothing!
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice at that time, Gu Sansi, who had figured all this out, only felt that Chu Zhiyi's gaze was so hot in the cell, which made him feel so ashamed. At that time, Gu Sansi didn't even dare to turn around and look at him, and could only flee alone!
Although he has realized his problem, Gu Sansi asked himself, if Chu Zhiyi can remain true to himself, can he find his past self?
For the answer to this question!
Gu Sansi knew the answer must be no!
Although he felt a little ashamed and unwilling, Gu Sansi knew very well that it was impossible for him to go back to the way things were before!
Thinking of this, Gu Sansi in the carriage couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Gu Sansi's sigh, the driver of the carriage also asked with concern:
"Master, we will be back home soon. What can I do for you?"
"Nothing! Just keep driving!"
"Yes!"
After a cup of tea, Gu Sansi returned to his mansion. He planned to go back to his study room directly. There have been unrests in the court recently, but there were also constant problems in his family. His wife finally came to Yijing, and he wanted to enter the house and drive Chen Wanting, the vixen, out of the mansion...
Although Gu Sansi warned Wang about this, Wang was proud of the fact that she had given birth to a son and a daughter for Gu Sansi. With the support of her father-in-law Gu Dahai, she was ready to make trouble for Chen Wanting at any time.
Chen Wanting was no pushover either. She was proud of Gu Sansi's favor and after giving birth to a little son, Gu Yuanqing, for Gu Sansi, she retaliated. It could be said that these two women made the Gu Mansion a mess!
Now Gu Sansi gets a headache whenever he returns home. After returning home, he wants to go straight back to his study!
The study is his own little world, the only place where he can find a moment to breathe!
Just as Gu Sansi walked quickly towards the study, two childish voices rang in his ears. "Daughter greets father!"
"Son meets father!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sansi looked over subconsciously and saw a girl of eight or nine years old and a boy of six or seven years old standing by and looking at him quietly.
These two people are Gu Qianqian, the eldest daughter born to him by Wang, and Gu Quan, the second son!
Ever since Wang raped Chen Wanting last time, Gu Sansi had put Wang under house arrest, only allowing her to move around in the East Courtyard and not to disturb Chen Wanting. However, the house arrest order only applied to Wang alone. Gu Sansi had no restrictions on his own children, who could move freely in the Gu Mansion.
Facing the gazes of the two children, Gu Sansi felt uncomfortable for some reason and forced a smile on his face.
"Dad has something important to do and will accompany you another day!"
After saying this, Gu Sansi did not wait for the two children's response and continued to move towards the study. Soon Gu Sansi returned to his study.
Returning to his familiar environment and sitting on his favorite little rattan chair, Gu Sansi relaxed completely. His mind couldn't help but recall the scene just now, as well as the faces of Qianqian and Quaner...
Thinking of this, Gu Sansi felt very ashamed. Although he never liked Wang, after all, when the two of them gave birth to the child, no one forced him with a knife or a gun!
But because of Wang, Gu Sansi honestly didn't like the two children that much deep down in his heart!
After the birth of his two children, he just followed Ye Mingsheng, and his career got on track and began to improve!
So Gu Sansi naturally threw all the matters concerning the child to Wang, and he devoted himself to his career, only sending half of his salary back home regularly every month!
After Gu Sansi came to Yijing, he was obsessed with Chen Wanting and couldn't extricate himself. All he wanted all day long was to live together with Chen Wanting.
However, Gu Sansi still had some sense of responsibility. Whenever he received letters from his hometown, he still missed the two children a little. And out of inner guilt, he finally decided to bring the two children to Yijing.
However, when the two children came to him, Gu Sansi was somewhat surprised to find that the two children, who he remembered as toddlers, had grown so big now. Perhaps because he had missed the two children's childhood, Gu Sansi even felt that the two children were so strange!
What Gu Sansi could not accept the most was that, because the two children were raised by Wang, they were very similar to Wang in every aspect, so when facing these two children, Gu Sansi instinctively wanted to stay away from them.
But when he is away from them, Gu Sansi will feel ashamed and blame himself for his responsibility as a father. So now Gu Sansi is constantly struggling between instinct and conscience on the issue of his two children, not knowing what to do...
