"What is it? You were unwilling to speak earlier; isn't it because you don't want to overturn the case? Now you come to ask me, what is your intention? Furthermore, why should I help your Xue family clear the injustice? You mentioned that those people, once involved, cannot get rid of it. I am merely a weak scholar and have just stepped into the officialdom, why should I set myself on fire?"
Gu Chengyu sneered at Xue Miao repeatedly. Xue Miao had previously shown much disrespect to his teacher, so Gu Chengyu naturally spoke unkindly to him.
Moreover, why should he agree to this matter? Is he very familiar with Xue Miao?
He is investigating this matter now to clear his teacher's name, not for Xue Miao.
"I remember Xue Haozhen's son, Xue Shiqian, should have had an elder son. Why wasn't he saved?"
Gu Chengyu suddenly recalled something and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Ancient people often prioritized males, believing that males were the hope for a family's prosperity.
