Bab 450: Darkness Is Pain

"Let's go there," Gu Zheng said.

Qiao Xi nodded her head and followed Gu Zheng inside. The more she walked, the heavier her heart became.

Moreover, the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, not like a place where people lived.

Although Gu Zheng was an illegitimate child, he was Gu Weiming's only son when he returned to the Gu family. Even if he didn't like this son of his, he shouldn't have built Gu Zheng's courtyard in such a remote place.

This should be the northernmost courtyard of the Gu family's old residence. It seemed like no one had ever come to clean it. There were two large bare trees at the entrance, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. There was no maple tree as expected.
