Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, “You and I are truly a couple of the same mind.”

Qin Yuan smiled slightly. In the morning light, her skin was as smooth as the finest jade. She was truly a beautiful girl.

Lord Gu was stunned.

It was not until Gu Shiliu couldn't help but cough lightly that he woke up from his dream.

Gu Shiliu said stubbornly, "My Lord, I have something important to report."

Qin Yuan said, "My Lord, I will go back to Wutong Garden first. The housekeeper and the housekeepers must be waiting anxiously."

"Okay," Lord Gu said softly, "I'll be there in a minute."

Hongye couldn't help but chuckle.

Cui Ming lowered her head.

Qin Yuan walked away with the two maids, but Hong Ye's mocking words still came with the wind: "Oh, I'll be there in a moment."

Lord Gu frowned.

This picky maid has only been well behaved for two days.

Then Hongye's words made him happy again.

"The Marquis really can't stay away from our young lady for a moment now. If the second young lady knew about this, she would be so angry that her eyes would turn red. The last time she and the lady came to the mansion, she saw the Marquis and the young lady being so affectionate, and she was so angry that it was really funny."

Lord Gu turned his head slightly and listened carefully, but unfortunately he did not hear Qin Yuan's reply.

"My Lord, I discovered something important last night."

Gu Jinghui came back to his senses. After listening to what Gu Shiliu had heard and seen, he seemed to be thinking about something and asked, “Is that woman’s surname Yang?”

"How does the Marquis know?"

Gu Shiliu was shocked.

Lord Gu's face darkened, "Let's go to the outer study to discuss."

The two walked to the corridor and ran into Master Gu Liu, who was holding a book excitedly. Without even looking at his third brother's expression, he came up to him and presented his treasure, saying, "Third brother, look at my new collection of poems. It's so detailed and grand. Third sister-in-law is really amazing. Her companion Shen Changle is also quite capable, did you know? The Minister of Rites and the Academician have not only added poems, but also written a postscript for the collection, plus the painter's paintings. It's only been a few days, and he has printed and bound all of them."

Lord Gu patiently flipped through a few pages and said, "Not bad, have you shown it to mother?"

"...Uh...I haven't had time to think about it yet. Didn't I show it to Third Brother right away? Third Brother, do you really think it's good?"

Master Gu Liu looked at his good third brother expectantly.

Lord Gu said, "Of course I think it's good. The Minister and the Academician are not fools. Since they are willing to publish a collection of poems with you, they are obviously optimistic about it. Sixth brother, you have made great progress. Why don't you show it to mother? Mother mentioned it to your third sister-in-law two days ago."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After sending Mr. Gu Liu away, the two went into the outer study to discuss the matter in detail.

"Why does the Marquis know that the old woman's surname is Yang?" Gu Shiliu asked hurriedly.

Lord Gu said, "Not only do I know that the old woman's surname is Yang, I also know that Yang has a close relationship with Cheng Ge'er. Xiaohong and Zihe saw this with their own eyes."

Gu Shiliu was stunned for a long while before he said, "How long has Madam Zhao been here? If she has done such a thing, then Madam Yang is a lonely person. The old lady is kind-hearted and pitied that there was no one at home, so she stayed in the upper room to watch over the night, which was also to give him something to do. I didn't expect that she would hook up with Madam Zhao."

Lord Gu groaned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Gu Shiliu asked, "What does your Lordship mean?"

Lord Gu said, "Today I asked Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er whether Zhao had met them before she left, or what she said to them? And who instigated the princess to enter the mansion that time? I watched these two children coldly and saw that they were hiding something, which shows that they had received instructions from Zhao in private."

Gu Shiliu was stunned.

Before, fearing that the two children would be sad because of being abandoned by their mother, the old lady and the marquis were very careful and never mentioned it in front of them. They didn't expect it to be like this. Gu Shiliu felt a little sorry for the marquis.

But this was his master's family affair, so he couldn't say anything.

Lord Gu said sadly, "If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. It's time to make a decision. After opening the government, I will ask General Jin to find a family to foster these two children. I will take good care of them in the future and ensure that they have enough food and clothing."

Gu Shiliu said, "This is very good. It will prevent any trouble in the future. Their parents' identities are unknown, and Zhao's behavior is vicious. They are caught in the middle and it is difficult for them to get along. Brother Qi was beaten a while ago, and many people have some complaints about the Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, they settled the mother and son well later, otherwise I am afraid that the old people in the manor would not accept it."

Lord Gu asked, "How did Zhao get involved with Yelu's people?"

"I don't know."

Lord Gu sighed and said, "The item that Imperial Physician Liu ordered the servant to deliver to the upper room must have been for Aunt Yang. Imperial Physician Liu did not use secret codes when communicating with the outside world, but Aunt Yang used secret codes when communicating with the outside world. It can be seen that Imperial Physician Liu did not know Aunt Yang, but Aunt Yang knew Imperial Physician Liu."

Gu Shiliu's eyes lit up: "I have a plan."

……

After Qin Yuan finished his daily affairs, he asked Hong Ye: "How is the account book going?"

Hongye said angrily, "This accountant Sun is very cautious, but he can't find anything."

Cui Ming said, "Could it be that he is just a nasty person, but keeps a clean account book?"

"impossible."

Hongye insisted.

"Why do you say that?" Cui Ming was puzzled.

"Gu Shiliu said that there was something wrong with Accountant Sun's reaction that day. He has been an accountant for many years and he must have many tricks. I just can't see them."

"Do you really believe what Gu Shiliu said?"

"He has been around the world with the Marquis, so I naturally trust him."

Hongye insisted.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "List the items I mentioned and take a closer look. Maybe you can catch a big one."

"Really?" Hongye cheered up again.

"More real than pearls."

Hongye suddenly asked, "Young lady, you followed Doctor Li to the Sixth Madam's courtyard that day. We knew she had a disease that made her unable to exert herself, so there was no need to worry. Why did you have to go through the accounts for so many days?"

I worked so hard to prepare it, but it’s totally useless.

People have always sympathized with the weak. Now that the Sixth Madam is so ill and she and the Sixth Master have given birth to children, these things will probably not be mentioned again.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. I'm not just after the power of the household. They are plotting against my cousin. Do they think I'm a dead man? Besides, Xu Zhen disappeared. I'm afraid the Xu family will not be happy."

Cui Ming nodded.

Qin Yuan added: "I don't want to see the Xu family happy either. I'm holding back my anger and haven't gotten angry yet. I'm doing those accounts just to keep a bottom line. Don't you think so, Lord Marquis?"

Hongye suddenly realized.

"No wonder Gu Shiliu asked us what we had in the morning. Why didn't we show it to the Marquis?"

Qin Yuan just laughed.

Cui Ming poked Hong Ye with a finger and said, "You, even though you are as smart as a ghost, you still get fooled by Gu Shiliu, and you believe him in everything."

Hongye covered her head and argued, "We are all working for the master, he can't lie to me all the time. Besides, I think there is something wrong with the man surnamed Sun, and he thinks so too, how can this be called lying? This can only be called great minds think alike."
