Chapter 506 True or False
Butler Han watched the doorman close the mansion door, then chuckled and said, "Who told us that our Marquis also likes to attack people's hearts now?"

Gu Shiba also laughed.

In the study room.

Lord Gu sat behind the table and asked, "Has the Yelu clan member who was released returned to the hostage house?"

Gu Shiliu nodded: "Our people followed him from a distance and spared him half his life."

Lord Gu chuckled and said, "I want to see how broad-minded Yelu Guzha is."

Gu Shiliu also laughed.

"We've let him run rampant for so long, it's time for him to suffer a little."

Lord Gu ordered the servant to come in and light the lamps and clear the food on the table.

After a while, he said, "Please urge General Jin. It's the Queen Mother's birthday and it's Mid-Autumn Festival. The old lady and the lady will have to go to the palace to attend the banquet. They need to have a few maids who are good at martial arts to protect them."

The social interactions with other families could still be delayed due to the fact that the old lady was unwell and there had just been a funeral at home.

No one dared not to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Gu Shiliu agreed.

Lord Gu thought about it and felt uneasy again, so he reminded her, "You need the best. If there is nothing ready-made, I hope Madam Jin can think of a way."

Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "General Jin will naturally not care. I will tell him about it later."

Lord Gu asked again: "Did the Five Cities Army find anything?"

Gu Shiliu said: "They checked the household and business registers very carefully, but Zhao and Xu Zhen didn't find any traces."

Lord Gu stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps, and asked, "Did the Madam say anything?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Madam suspects that Zhao and Xu Zhen are hidden outside the city."

The Five Cities Military Department, soldiers from the main camp, and people from the Ministry of Works worked together to dredge some of the sewers in the city, discovered several places where human traffickers hid young children, and helped the Jingzhao Yinfu solve several cases.

But there was still no trace of Zhao and Xu Zhen.

Lord Gu stopped and said, "It's not impossible. We can only keep a close eye on the Yelu clan."

Gu Shiliu said, "Now, Xiao Shi and Shiba can get some bits and pieces of information from beggars, porters, and street cleaners every day, but there is not much use. Yelu Guzha is trying to raise money to renovate the hostage house, and the crown prince and the King of Jin secretly gave him some gold and silver."

"The Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin."

Lord Gu squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "They are moving around frequently."

Gu Shiliu didn't dare to speak.

Lord Gu asked after a while, "How is Cheng Ge'er doing?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Yelu Guzha is busy now, so the two of them quarreled for a while, and when they saw that no one was paying attention, they naturally stopped."

Lord Gu had a gloomy face and looked a little lonely.

He and the two children eventually became estranged and drifted apart.

Gu Shiliu glimpsed his expression and stammered, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Lord Gu was a little impatient, "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing?"

Gu Shiliu closed his eyes and said directly, "The news sent back by Old Lady Qi said that she had seen that fake Old Lady Yang and Cheng Ge'er talking in a foreign language, which sounded very much like the Yelu language."

"what?"

Lord Gu slammed the rosewood table top with his palm, the table made a crackling sound, and the thick table top broke into two pieces.

Gu Shiliu shrank his neck back in shock.

Lord Gu said angrily, "Is this fake old woman Yang actually from the Yelu clan?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Mrs. Qi is not sure either. I asked Xiaohong and Zihe, but they have never met him, so I am a little hesitant."

Lord Gu sneered, "Except for Brother Qi, all the Qi family members have been to the battlefield. How could Old Lady Qi not recognize the Yelu language? He said it is very similar, which is nine out of ten."

They all knew what Old Lady Qi was capable of.

Xiaohong and Zihe were serving the two siblings closely, but they had never been seen before. This shows how secretive the fake Mrs. Yang and Cheng Ge'er were in their daily lives.

Gu Shiliu said, "This is a serious matter, so I'd better think of a way to make it happen. Old Lady Qi's eyesight will soon be healed, so I'll think of a way to take her out for a walk and listen to what the Yelu family says to see if she's like them."

Lord Gu reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, "Okay."

It's always better to be safe. If it's true...

There was a flash of grief in Lord Gu's eyes.

The two children grew up under his nose. Their father died in the war with the Yelu people. This fake old woman Yang actually spoke the Yelu language secretly with Cheng Ge'er.

Who exactly is this Zhao?

He looked out the window and saw a crescent moon half hidden in the clouds.

Everything is shrouded in an impenetrable fog.

"I have to go back to accompany my wife."

At this time, he really needed to see his young wife.

Gu Shiliu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few leaps, Lord Gu rushed from the outer courtyard into Wutong Garden and slowed down his pace.

Small flying insects fluttered around the sheep-horn lantern in the corridor.

After a while, when the weather cools down, these flying insects will disappear.

Autumn insects are singing mournfully in the corners.

The good times for them are running out.

There is already a solemn and solemn atmosphere in the autumn nights.

Lord Gu walked slowly down the corridor with his hands behind his back.

The maids announced in unison: "The Marquis is back."

Before the curtain was drawn, Hongye's voice could be heard: "Miss, hurry up, the Marquis is back."

Then came Qin Yuan's voice: "Slow down, you're pulling my hair."

Cuiming complained: "You are so irritable all day long. When you see the Marquis, you act like a mouse seeing a cat. Marriage is a great principle for men and women. Why are you so shy?"

This excitement made Lord Gu's lips curl up.

People will eventually go underground.

By then, all the grudges will have come to an end.

When we are alive, all we seek is this present warmth and the atmosphere of everyday life.

What is true and what is false doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

Lord Gu strode in and saw Hongye and Cuiming trying on Qin Yuan's hairdo in front of the dressing table.

A full set of pearl headdress, tied with gold threads and dotted with red gems.

It adds a touch of beauty to that pretty little face.

It's so gorgeous and elegant.

Lord Gu racked his brains but couldn't think of any words to describe it, he just stared at it blankly.

Qin Yuan felt uneasy when being looked at.

He felt as if he was being sucked into Lord Gu's pair of dark and bright eyes.

Hongye and Cuiming also felt that it was unnecessary for them to stay here.

Lord Gu said in a hoarse voice after a long while: "It's really beautiful. It looks especially beautiful under the lights."

Qin Yuan was quite embarrassed.

"This is the headdress my mother gave me. She said I should wear it at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Lord Gu did not express his opinion, but looked at the box on the table and asked, "Anything else?"

Given Madam Gu's temper, she would certainly not just give a set of headgear.

Sure enough, Qin Yuan said, "Mom gave me two more sets. Let me choose from them."

Lord Gu walked to the side of Luohan's bed and sat down, half leaning on the armrest, and said, "Try them all."

Qin Yuan was a little embarrassed.

After all, it takes a long time to comb your hair, and each set of jewelry is suitable for different hairstyles.
