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

Xiao Yanlin was really moved, especially after the secret guard told him how worried Gu Baiyu was at that time. He couldn't help but smile in front of the secret guard.

This is rare. Xiao Yanlin is always serious in front of his subordinates.

Part of the reason is due to his personality, but more importantly, his identity determines that he needs to establish authority in front of his subordinates. When talking about business in front of his subordinates, he hardly smiles.

He could almost imagine how panicked Gu Baiyu was when the secret guard told Gu Baiyu that he had a hidden secret around the second prince.

Maybe he will look around like a frightened little rabbit to see if there is anyone suspicious.

After all, if a courtier dares to put a nail in the prince's side and someone finds out, it won't be as simple as impeachment.

"Did she really say that she would rather give in than put me in danger?"

The secret guard nodded: "Miss Gu said so."

Xiao Yanlin couldn't control the corners of his mouth again, so he could only put his fist to his mouth and pretend to cough lightly.

The secret guard had an upright temperament and was Xiao Yanlin's confidant. When he saw this, he said with a straight face: "If Lord Marquis wants to laugh, he might as well be more generous."

Xiao Yanlin simply stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Well, I'm very happy. Please ask the people on the second prince's side to pay attention and figure out the contents of Gu Ruanruan's letter, so hurry up."

The dark guard took the order and left.

Before dark, the news came.

It was a coincidence that when Gu Ruanruan was delivering the letter, the staff around the second prince gathered together to talk about the waterwheel. The spy Xiao Yanlin planted in the second prince's mansion was actually the servant who took care of one of the staff.

That staff member was not favored by the second prince, so it stands to reason that he would not know about such a thing.

But it happened that everyone was present at that time, and the second prince was too confident and unprepared.

Therefore, Xiao Yanlin quickly learned that it was a "letter for help" from Gu Ruanruan. He was probably dissatisfied with Prime Minister Gu and wanted to use the second prince to put pressure on the court.

However, he had a very keen sense of smell and quickly guessed that the Second Prince and his party would make a fuss about this letter.

Xiao Yanlin even found out that they were planning to attack Prime Minister Gu while he was sleeping the day before his wedding.

So actually, time is not that tight.

At least there is no need to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion twice in the same day.

But Xiao Yanlin came anyway.

And he was invited to the study by Prime Minister Gu that night.

Xiao Yanlin came alone. When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he asked the secret guard to go in and report. At the same time, he asked Prime Minister Gu to keep a low profile and not be known by others.

This other person was naturally referring to Gu Ruanruan, and did not include Gu Baiyu.

Therefore, just as Gu Baiyu was about to go to sleep, he received news of Xiao Yanlin's overnight visit.

She quickly put on her clothes, and Lingyu went over to help her: "Miss, what are you doing? It's so late, you're not going to see the Marquis, are you?"

Gu Baiyu's actions were all subconscious. After being reminded by Lingyu, she suddenly realized that yes, they were getting married soon, and it was not suitable for her to meet Xiao Yanlin.

And it was so late, Xiao Yanlin must have come to talk to Prime Minister Gu about the second prince.

She shouldn't go out at this time, either emotionally or rationally.

"Miss? Shall I wait for you to rest?"

"No," Gu Baiyu shook his head, "I can't say anything. Please help me go to the door and stand for a while."

Lingyu didn't say anything, she just helped Gu Baiyu get dressed and found a big cloak for her to put on.

"Miss, be careful not to catch a cold."

Of course you won’t catch a cold, the temperature is getting warmer during this period and it’s already late spring.

Gu Baiyu didn't go far and stood in his yard.

The moonlight is very good tonight, the lanterns in the Prime Minister's Mansion have not been extinguished, and the pear tree in the courtyard can still be vaguely seen.

Gu Baiyu looked at the pear blossoms on the pear branches that had completely bloomed. Some of the flower heads had swollen, and the shadows of small pears could be vaguely seen.

Gu Baiyu vaguely remembered that when she was first reborn, there were still a few broken flowers on the pear branches, but in January, she would get married...

Gu Baiyu stood in the yard for a while. Her yard was not far from the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and very close to Prime Minister Gu's study.

I don’t know what Xiao Yanlin came to tell his father. It must be a very urgent matter to come so late...

"Miss, it's almost time to rest." Lingyu reminded from the side.

Seeing that Gu Baiyu was a little distracted, Lingyu bit her lower lip: "Would you like to go over and take a look? Do you miss the Marquis? Or are you worried about the second prince? I will hold a lantern for you, and you can take a look from a distance."

Gu Baiyu laughed and shook his head: "There is no need to rush at this moment. Since he contacted dad directly, it means that this matter has nothing to do with the back house, or that I can't help, so I should believe that he can handle it well."

It was undeniable that Lingyu's proposal also moved her heart.

"Lingyu, go to the kitchen and prepare some food. I'm afraid the light in the study is still on at the moment. Just because I'm concerned that daddy is too late to handle official duties, I sent you some food."

Lingyu happily agreed and went to the kitchen.

Gu Baiyu turned around and returned to his yard.

Inside the study.

Xiao Yanlin was afraid that what Gu Ruanruan would do would chill Prime Minister Gu, so he said it very euphemistically. He still remembered how Prime Minister Gu almost fainted from anger at the door of the brothel.

But I didn't expect that Prime Minister Gu would be much calmer this time.

"Ever since she ran away regardless of leaving the letter, I have treated her... just to let the Marquis see the joke."

Xiao Yanlin shook his head: "The second young lady failed to live up to Prime Minister Gu's expectations. So how does Prime Minister Gu plan to deal with the Second Prince's matter?"

Prime Minister Gu was not in a hurry, "We must remain unchanged to cope with all changes. Since it started with family affairs, we will end with family affairs. No matter how the second prince and others impeach him, in the final analysis, it is just a family matter of my prime minister's house. I have been doing this all these years." I have never treated this concubine badly, so I have a clear conscience. Don’t worry, Lord Marquis. I have my own way of dealing with it. It’s just that the noble concubine has caused trouble for the Zhou family. If I or my wife come forward to remind Concubine Zhou, I’m afraid it will be too arrogant. "

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Gu. I will remind Concubine Zhou. She is favored in the harem and she should be able to handle this."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Lord Marquis."

As soon as Prime Minister Gu finished speaking, Lingyu's voice suddenly came from outside the study.

Prime Minister Gu was a little surprised. At this point, Gu Baiyu should have fallen asleep and should not be here. He believed that his daughter would not do such an abrupt thing.

When he opened the door and saw Lingyu coming in with food, Prime Minister Gu suddenly realized.

Looking at the high piles of food in the food box, including meat, Prime Minister Gu felt sour.

He was old, so he would definitely not be able to digest meat if he ate it so late, and Gu Baiyu would not make such a mistake.

It is naturally self-evident to whom these meals are intended.

"The Marquis is so proud. I usually end up late on official business and Yu'er doesn't even bring me food. Today I followed the Marquis and took advantage of it."

Lingyu was smart and heard the sourness in Prime Minister Gu's mouth. She was afraid that Prime Minister Gu would misunderstand and said quickly: "Sir, your wife is always responsible for your evening meals. You also said that only the things your wife gives you are as good as your appetite. !”

Xiao Yanlin smiled: "Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu are really in love. Miss Gu is also very considerate."

Prime Minister Gu was still sour: "In the future, this thoughtfulness will benefit others."

Xiao Yanlin had always thought that Gu Baiyu had a very interesting temperament. He was measured in everything, but occasionally revealed some aura and innocence, and sometimes even had a little inhumane Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

Now it seems that he is following Prime Minister Gu.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Gu. The Marquis's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are not far apart. Yu'er is filial and will definitely come back to visit more often."

This sentence reassured Prime Minister Gu, telling him that even if Gu Baiyu got married, she would be allowed to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion more often.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Gu felt a little relieved.

"There is no need to worry, Lord Marquis. Brother Yu'er will be back soon. It will only be a day or two. This errand has been done well. Your Majesty should take care of it."

Xiao Yanlin was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"

"Yes, he has the best relationship with Yu'er. Hearing that Yu'er was getting married, he hurried back."
