A willow leaf landed on Gu Yuans shoulder with the wind. Gu Yuan casually brushed off this willow leaf and asked calmly,

What did Gu Xiao do again?

His voice was calm, like an autumn drizzle. Raindrops fell drop by drop on the smooth stone floor.

Master, how did you know? Juan Bis eyes widened in surprise. After Second Young Master was taken to the North Towns Bureau, he said that he had received a snitch letter not long ago. The letter writer told him that the Gu family had hidden a family member of the Yu family, and even advised him to put righteousness before family. Thats why he came to the residence early in the morning to investigate. When he heard the cry of a baby in the garden, he went to the North Towns Bureau to report it.

Commander He said that Second Young Masters surname is also Gu. Since hes not with Master, he might be with Second Master. He brought the Embroidered Uniform Guards to Reed Alley to search.

Gu Yanfei drank the flower tea slowly. Her eyes and eyebrows didnt even move, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. She only asked casually, Did they find him?

They did! Juan Bi nodded solemnly again. Her eyes lit up, more or less gloating. Second Master and Second Young Master deserves it!

Juan Bi didnt sympathize with Second Master and Second Young Master at all. She couldnt wait for them to be taught a lesson this time.

Gu Yuan looked at the comfortable Gu Yanfei, and the corners of his lips curled up. He didnt ask further and only instructed, Let Wu Tong go to Reed Alley to take a look.

Alright. Juan Bi left excitedly again. Her round face was as bright as the good weather today.

Today, the blue sky was clear, and the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly. However, the Gu familys second branch was enveloped in a thick layer of dark clouds, as if a storm would descend at any moment.

All the masters were chased to the hall of the outer courtyard by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

There was a commotion in the hall, and everyone was in a panic.

No one expected the Embroidered Uniform Guards to find a stranger in their house.

Everyone looked at Old Madam Gu, who was sitting at the head of the table. She was the backbone of the family.

Ever since Gu Jians t.i.tle was taken away, Madam Gu was no longer the Madam of the Marquis Mansion. After losing her t.i.tle, she was only Old Madam Gu.

At this moment, Old Madam Gus expression was extremely bad. She was motionless, like a stone statue.

There was silence in the hall.

Youre Yu Sis mistress, Madam Lei? The mans dignified voice broke the silence, attracting everyones attention to the beautiful woman in the middle of the hall.

The beautiful woman was only about 20 years old. She was gentle and beautiful, but she looked a little haggard. There were dark eye circles under her eyes, and her hair was a little messy. A few strands were scattered on her cheeks, making her look disheveled and weak.

She was holding a green swaddling cloth in her arms. There were tears in her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids. She had a delicate and moving charm, making people pity her.

Madam Lei didnt say anything. She only hugged the swaddling clothes tightly.

At this moment, silence was equivalent to tacit agreement.

Since the culprit is here. He Lie, who was standing by a window, slowly looked around at the people from the Gu familys second branch. He waved a letter casually in his hand and said mockingly, It seems that this snitch letter isnt wrong.

His gaze finally landed on Gu Xiao. Gu Xiaos face was extremely pale, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. Half of his soul had dissipated.

As soon as he saw the letter, Gu Xiaos body trembled. His eyes were filled with regret, frustration, and nervousness.

He Lies heart was as clear as a mirror, and a trace of contempt flashed across his eyes. He thought to himself, Hes just trying to be smart. Hes extremely stupid.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards had seen all kinds of people.

He Lie wasnt surprised by Gu Xiaos behavior of preparing evidence in advance to exonerate himself.

He hadnt planned to come in the first place, but Ni Zongqi reminded him that since the Gu familys eldest branch had investigated, the second branch should also investigate.

He Lie thought about it and agreed. Although it was official business for him to bring people to the Gu Mansion to search today, he had still caused trouble for Second Lady Gu. He had to express his grat.i.tude.

He had brought people here this time to show his goodwill to Second Lady Gu. He purely wanted to disgust the second branch of the Gu family.

However, He Lie didnt expect them to really find Yu Sis outer room.

Commander He, we were framed! Gu Jian defended himself, sweating profusely.

Framed? He Lie seemed to have heard a joke. He sneered and said calmly..
