It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Xiao Yanlin's sensitivity exceeded Gu Baiyu's imagination.

In other words, from very early on, Gu Baiyu had a vague feeling that Xiao Yanlin should have noticed something, but he never said it clearly.

Gu Baiyu's guess was indeed correct.

Xiao Yanlin chose to tolerate many things about Gu Baiyu. If Gu Baiyu was willing to talk, he would be the best listener, but if Gu Baiyu was unwilling, he would not force it in the past.

But now, when he realized that this matter might have caused a lot of trouble to Gu Baiyu, Xiao Yanlin chose to ask directly.

Facing Xiao Yanlin's inquiry, Gu Baiyu felt very confused.

Should she just say it?

But if he said it, would Xiao Yanlin believe it?

If Xiao Yanlin asked her why she had no idea, how should she answer?

When she hesitated, Xiao Yanlin did not speak, but waited silently.

Until the tangled emotions on Gu Baiyu's face receded and he sat up straight as if he had made up his mind, Xiao Yanlin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just say it if you want.

She was afraid that Gu Baiyu would not say anything, bury everything in her heart, and bear everything silently.

And Gu Baiyu looked at Xiao Yanlin's calm and calm eyes from beginning to end, and finally spoke slowly...

"I'm worried about my dad."

Xiao Yanlin frowned slightly: "I have sent people to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion. The accident that happened to you will never happen again."

Gu Baiyu slowly shook his head: "No, it's not this."

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yanlin: "I think the second prince may counterattack from other things."

Gu Baiyu was thinking about how to tell Prime Minister Gu that he might be framed, and that it was related to corruption and bribery.

If it were so specific, would it be too exaggerated?

But Xiao Yanlin just maintained his previous posture and said softly: "If Yu'er has any guesses, you might as well speak up boldly. You can be on guard in advance whether it's right or wrong."

Gu Baiyu finally relaxed: "I think that the Marquis used the incident of corruption in the northwest to push the second prince into this desperate situation. Is it possible that... the second prince will treat others in his own way? Body?"

Xiao Yanlin's eyes darkened, "You mean someone might slander my father-in-law?"

Gu Baiyu was a little embarrassed: "It could be you..."

But Xiao Yanlin simply ignored the latter sentence, and he didn't know whether he had already made a decision in his heart or just didn't hear it clearly.

"If it involves your father-in-law, you have to be careful."

Prime Minister Gu is the prime minister of the dynasty, and there are countless things that need to be dealt with through his hands every day. Naturally, many things involve interest chains, and if they are not kept in full, there will be some flaws.

Xiao Yanlin pondered for a moment and asked: "Madam, do you have any specific guesses? What might it be?"

This really bothered Gu Baiyu.

No matter how she recalled the events of her previous life, she could only remember fragments.

Gu Baiyu closed his eyes and tried to think back, trying to see if there were any other clues...

Maybe Gu Baiyu was thinking too seriously, and a memory really came to his mind.

She was already very ill at that time. Xiao Yanlin was away fighting all year round. Gu Ruanruan was almost the default mistress of the back house. The servants didn't take Gu Baiyu seriously at all and were almost unscrupulous in front of her.

Gu Baiyu vaguely remembered that one day, after the servants brought the soup, he watched her drink it and then take the bowl and leave. Before the two maids had gone far, they started talking about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were not afraid of being overheard by Gu Baiyu. .

Gu Baiyu did hear some.

It seemed to be the exclamation of one of the little maids——

"So much gold?" "Yes, yes, but...it's not surprising that you have been greedy for so much gold for so many years..."

At that time, Gu Baiyu already knew that something had happened to Prime Minister Gu, and it was because of money, but he did not know what the specific matter was. The Hou Mansion was under a silence order, and no one was willing to tell Gu Baiyu;

And Prime Minister Gu didn't say anything specific until his daughter was in trouble.

Now think about it, the two pieces of information revealed in these two sentences are crucial——

The bribe money was gold, and the amount was shockingly large;

Also, what does the phrase "so many years" mean?

Did the person who exposed Prime Minister Gu point out that Prime Minister Gu paid a bribe to set up the situation, or was it something else?

Gu Baiyu's mind was in a mess. Under Xiao Yanlin's gaze, he said bravely: "If I were the second prince, if I wanted to do something like this, I would definitely do something big. It's best to catch people's attention, and it's best to shock people. It would be best if my father’s image of being incorruptible for many years is completely overturned..."

Gu Baiyu really couldn't think of what to say, so he could only try his best to guide in the direction of memory.

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Yanlin seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu Baiyu sighed and thought to himself, how about just saying it...

"I will send someone to check on the suspicious people around my father-in-law, preferably those who have been in contact for many years. Then I will send someone to send a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion and count the property in the mansion, preferably silver and gold."

Gu Baiyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yanlin with wide eyes.

How could he guess this much from her few words? !

It's almost related to what she wants to say!

Xiao Yanlin saw Gu Baiyu looking at him with wide eyes, and thought she was a bit cute, and said, "What's wrong? Did I guess in the wrong direction?"

"No, no..." Gu Baiyu stammered and replied: "The Marquis's idea is very good."

Not only was the guess correct, it was simply a roundworm in her stomach!

Gu Baiyu once again gained a new understanding of Xiao Yanlin's understanding of herself, and was once again impressed by Xiao Yanlin's intelligence.

Xiao Yanlin is really amazing!

Xiao Yanlin looked at Gu Baiyu's reaction and knew that Gu Baiyu didn't tell everything he knew, but he should have guessed pretty well.

Xiao Yanlin is not angry, what is there to be angry about? Understanding your lover and understanding your lover's thoughts are also a manifestation of love.

He reached out to touch Gu Baiyu's cheek, and raised her chin in a funny way: "Close your mouth. I'll handle what you said. Just rest at home."

This matter was so important that Xiao Yanlin decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person.

Xiao Yanlin went out alone and went directly to find Prime Minister Gu. He climbed over the wall and entered without anyone noticing.

Prime Minister Gu was reading a book when he was startled by Xiao Yanlin. After learning his purpose, Prime Minister Gu stood up and said, "Sit down first. I have something to give to you."

After a while, Prime Minister Gu came out with two booklets.

"Take a look. This book contains the personal relationships with me. What they gave, what I received, and what they asked for are all clearly written."

Xiao Yanlin took the booklet and read a few pages, feeling impressed.

This record is very detailed, and the people involved are clearly written down. Most of them came with huge sums of money, and Prime Minister Gu basically confiscated them;

After that, there were some that did not involve interests, but even if they only received a stack of rice paper from their former disciples, they were clearly recorded in it, and even marked how much these things were worth according to the prices at that time, and how they would be disposed of later.

It can be said that it was so detailed that even Xiao Yanlin was surprised.

"My father-in-law is really cautious."

Prime Minister Gu waved his hand: "I hold a high position, so I should be cautious in everything. By the way, the remaining one is about people with whom we have friendships but without any favors or money. Most of them are colleagues. You can take it and read it too. .”

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "With these two things, I can take better precautions here."

Prime Minister Gu did not ask the good-natured Xiao Yanlin why he was wary of these things. He only said: "Thank you for your hard work, I won't let you eat. Go take care of Yu'er. If there is no need for my affairs, there is no need to tell her. Don't let her go." She's worried."

Xiao Yanlin thought for a moment, then said goodbye and left.

He did not tell Prime Minister Gu that this matter was first brought up by Gu Baiyu. After all, he, a person active in the court, was wary of this kind of thing. It could also be said that he had his own information channels;

But it would be very strange for a woman who stays at home and never steps out of the door.

Besides, neither father nor daughter wanted to worry about each other, so he had full authority to handle the matter.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanlin called Gu Baiyu to read these two brochures together.
