Xiao Yanlin raised his eyebrows: "A living person or a corpse?"

The secret guard said: "The corpse is in the mass grave. There is still some money on it. The person who did it was quick and neat. He is specialized in handling this. His face is scratched, but he can still recognize it."

Xiao Yanlin shook his head.

I really don’t know what the second prince is thinking. Is he careless or too arrogant?

You even threw people directly into mass graves, weren't you afraid that he would find them?

"Where did the person die? Has it been found out?"

The secret guard nodded: "It should be in Aunt Gu's yard. That's where he last appeared. It coincides with the time when the body died. Mr. Marquis, do you need someone to go to Aunt Gu to check it out? If it is true, Where the crime occurred, I promise to find clues."

"Of course I want to go! I'll go with you!"

Xiao Yanlin lowered his head and saw that the person in the quilt had woken up at some point and was looking at her with his eyes open.

Perhaps because he was full of sleep, Gu Baiyu's eyes were wide-eyed, eager to try, and he looked very energetic.

Xiao Yanlin turned sideways unconsciously, making sure that not even a hair of Gu Baiyu's hair was missing from the person next to him, and then said: "When did you wake up?"

Gu Baiyu wrinkled his nose: "I woke up as soon as the secret guard came in. How could I sleep so soundly?"

In fact, she was so confused that she smelled something that did not belong to Xiao Yanlin.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her recently. Her sense of smell and taste seem to be particularly sensitive. Just as the secret guard came in, she woke up immediately, but she didn't speak.

Xiao Yanlin gathered up the quilt and hugged the whole person in his arms: "You want to go with me?"

Gu Baiyu nodded: "Can I go?"

Xiao Yanlin pursed his lips and said nothing.

If it were before, she would definitely be able to take Gu Baiyu with her, but now that Gu Baiyu is pregnant, Xiao Yanlin is afraid that there will be any bloody scenes that will make her feel uncomfortable.

Feeling Xiao Yanlin's hesitation, Gu Baiyu raised her head and looked at him: "Can't I go?"

Her eyes were wide open, and the angle from which she looked down made her eyes even more watery. Her chin was tucked under and pointed, making her even cuter than usual.

With such a pair of big watery eyes looking at you motionlessly, who can say no?

Xiao Yanlin couldn't do it either, so he agreed in a daze.

Now that Gu Baiyu is going, going out is not that simple.

The carriage and other useful things must be brought along.

Gu Baiyu didn't think anything wrong when she went out in the past, but this time even she felt that it was a bit disturbing.

"Master Marquis, why are you bringing so much stuff? It's just a short journey, why did you bring food? Also, why is Dr. Lu following?"

Xiao Yanlin glanced at Doctor Lu. He understood and said: "The person is dead. I need to go to Aunt Gu's yard to look for some clues. I can bring the doctor with me to help."

This reason was very legitimate, so Gu Baiyu had no doubts at all.

The group was about to set off when the old housekeeper suddenly came to report in a hurry.

"Master Hou, the second master also followed and said he wanted to go with him."

"It's not appropriate. Let him stay in the house." Xiao Yanlin said lightly.

The old housekeeper looked embarrassed: "The old slave also tried to persuade me, but the second master didn't listen! He said that if the marquis doesn't take him, then he will prepare his own carriage and follow behind."

Xiao Yanlin opened the curtain and looked outside.

Gu Baiyu also turned his eyes.

Among the crowd, Xiao Ruoyun was standing alone, without any servants to serve him, with his eyes lowered and not knowing what he was thinking.

Feeling the distant gaze, he suddenly raised his head and met the eyes of the two people in the carriage.

Gu Baiyu saw persistence and determination in his eyes.

Gu Baiyu was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he felt it was reasonable.

After all, the two of them were considered to be husband and wife that day.

Gu Baiyu sighed, "If he wants to follow, just follow him. If there are any clues found by then, the second master should not be too sad."

"Do you still care about him?"

Xiao Yanlin's voice suddenly reached his ears.

Gu Baiyu was stunned and waved her hands quickly: "It's okay, but he is my husband's brother after all, and I can see that he really liked Aunt Gu..."

"Ah."

Xiao Yanlin gave a faint hum and said nothing else, but Gu Baiyu always felt that he was a little unhappy.

When the curtain was lowered and there were no outsiders, Gu Baiyu sat next to Xiao Yanlin, feeling a little restless.

Xiao Yan was definitely angry. Gu Baiyu thought to himself.

In the past, Xiao Yanlin was always worried about the shaking of the carriage when sitting on the carriage, so he always held her in his arms.

What about now?

Look, look, sitting so far away from her, people who don't know think they are not familiar with each other.

Gu Baiyu carefully moved his buttocks, getting closer bit by bit.

It wasn't until their arms were touching that Gu Baiyu took his arm and shook it gently.

"The Marquis is angry? Don't be angry. I really love the house and the peace of the house, so I said what I said. If the Marquis doesn't like it, just don't say it in the future! I promise not to look at him in the future! Really! They I will never get involved in the couple’s affairs again!”

Xiao Yanlin felt extremely comfortable listening to his young wife's clumsy and unfamiliar coaxing.

He wasn't angry at all, he just wanted to tease Gu Baiyu.

Now it seems that the little wife is still very cute and can coax people.

Although it was similar to coaxing a child, Xiao Yanlin found it very useful.

"I'm not angry, I just don't want you to worry about these unimportant people."

Gu Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Yanlin finally spoke.

"That's good! From now on, I will listen to the Marquis!"

Gu Baiyu felt relieved and was able to think of something else.

She is hungry and wants to eat.

Xiao Yanlin had some foresight. Gu Baiyu was hungry, so he opened the food box and saw that there were all kinds of snacks, sweet and salty.

She was obviously going to do business, but along the way she gave Gu Baiyu the illusion that she was going on an outing.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped outside Gu Ruanruan's yard that Gu Baiyu hurriedly put down the snacks and wiped his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Shall we go down? Everyone is waiting for me."

Xiao Yanlin was very indulgent: "It doesn't matter, she is right there and can't run away."

Gu Baiyu got out of the carriage with Xiao Yanlin's help and glanced back subconsciously.

In the corner, Xiao Ruoyun lowered his head, still alone. He stood somewhat against the wall, with one side of his face hidden in the shade. He could see clearly, but Gu Baiyu felt that Xiao Ruoyun like this made people feel pitiful and strange.

She quickly looked away.

"Butler, knock on the door."

Although they came to investigate, they did not force their way in and knocked on the door politely.

In the yard, a knock on the door sounded, as if it hit Licorice on the heart, making her shrink unconsciously.

Gu Ruanruan stood beside her, his eyes were red, and there were thick black eyes under his eyes. His hair was like withered grass. Although it was tied behind his head, he looked as haggard as his owner.

"It's promising! It's just a visitor. What are you afraid of?"

"My maid, my maid knows it...but what if it's someone from the Hou Mansion?"

Gu Ruanruan raised the corners of his lips, traced the red and swollen scars on his face with his fingers, then lightly tapped the red corners of his eyes, and said lightly: "It's time to come. If I don't come, when will the suffering I have endured be over?" The end?"

Licorice looked at Gu Ruanruan, who looked haggard but had no emotion in his eyes, and felt that the person in front of him was getting more and more terrifying.

In the past few days, Gu Ruanruan hardly ate or drank. He rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief rubbed with ginger every day, making himself extremely haggard.

She had seen Gu Ruanruan open the newly scabbed wound with her nails, and she had also seen her rubbing her eyes with ginger juice without changing her expression, with tears streaming down her face, but with a scary smile on her lips.

Licorice knew she was acting, and she had been waiting for today.

"Why are you still standing there? The distinguished guest is here, go and open the door..."
