The next morning.

Meng Jinyao was sleeping soundly and had no intention of waking up, but she was disturbed by the people around her and woke up. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw the man holding her and making a fuss.

Before she could react, she asked blankly: "Husband, what are you doing?"

When Gu Jingxi saw that she was awake, he kissed her cheek, reached out to untie her clothes, and asked, "What do you think, Ayao?"

Meng Jinyao woke up instantly and put her hand against his chest to express her rejection: "Husband, it is logical that a person who has just recovered from an illness should take a good rest. How can you look like someone who has just recovered from an illness?"

"Because your husband is restless."

After Gu Jingxi finished speaking, he continued to fidget.

Meng Jinyao had nothing to do with him, so she let him do whatever he wanted. He wasn't really sick anyway, so tossing him wouldn't affect his health.

However, at the critical moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, and then Qingqiu's voice came: "Master Marquis, Yu Chuan has something urgent to see you."

Everything was interrupted. Gu Jingxi's face suddenly darkened. His mood had always been very stable. This sudden feeling of wanting to beat someone up has not appeared for more than ten years. Yu Chuan is really good. of.

Seeing his dark face and dissatisfied appearance, Meng Jinyao didn't know whether to laugh or feel distressed. She coaxed softly: "Husband, Yu Chuan came to you so early. The matter must be urgent. You go and see it first." Let’s see what happens, let’s continue tonight.”

Gu Jingxi nodded reluctantly and said "Yeah", took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment, got up and got dressed, and when he went out of the room, he saw Yu Chuan already waiting.

He said in a deep voice: "Yu Chuan, you'd better be really in a hurry, otherwise I will make some random arrangements and put a dowry on you some other time to marry you off."

Yu Chuan was about to speak when he heard such a sentence. He was stunned for a moment and saw his master looking at him with a gloomy face. Unknown to him, he thought he had committed a heinous crime and dug up his master's ancestral grave.

He quickly responded: "Master Hou, I don't mean to disturb your dreams, but I really want to report something urgent, so I let the maid pass the news."

Gu Jingxi said concisely and concisely: "Say."

Yu Chuan: "..."

The master was not actually angry when he got up. It was just that he seemed to have come at a bad time and came when the master was in a bad mood. But the master was fine last night. Could it be that he had eaten gunpowder this early in the morning?

Yu Chuan said: "Master Hou, please step aside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingqiu and the little maid beside him blessed Gu Jingxi, then stepped back wisely and closed the door.

Yu Chuan took two steps forward and whispered: "Master Hou, I went to Mr. Wei's study last night and looked at every corner of the study carefully."

Gu Jingxi asked quietly: "What then?"

"Then, when it was dawn, I discovered that there was an unknown secret in the study." Yu Chuan stumbled back, thinking that last night he vowed that there was nothing in the study, but this morning He was slapped in the face, and he felt guilty. If he had waited for the Marquis to investigate and find it today, he would probably be married off by the Marquis.

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi half-squinted his eyes and said in a faint tone: "Yu Chuan, it seems you really want to get married."

Yu Chuan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, it's because I didn't observe carefully before, but I can't blame me. I really didn't find any clues before, but now I realize there's something else going on. "

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at his master's face. Seeing that his face softened slightly, he continued: "Master Marquis, this is what I discovered. I need to remedy it in time without you having to do anything personally. So you can't marry me off." go out."

Gu Jingxi glanced at him and said softly: "Then tell me first, what secret did you discover? If you make a great contribution, I will ask my wife to lead the way for you after returning to Beijing."

Yu Chuan's face lit up with joy, and he said in a brisk tone: "Master Marquis, there should be a darkroom in Mr. Wei's study."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "What does it mean? Is it there or not?"

"I think there is a dark room." Yu Chuan nodded firmly and continued, "I found a keyhole in the bookshelf against the wall. The bookshelf cannot be pushed. It is probably a mechanism that requires a key to open. So I didn’t destroy the bookshelf by force, and the key should be the one hanging around Mr. Wei’s neck. If I hadn’t seen the key around Mr. Wei’s neck before, I wouldn’t have noticed this inconspicuous keyhole.”

As soon as these words came out, the depression in Gu Jingxi's heart disappeared instantly, his eyebrows stretched, and he even looked at Yu Chuan with a very gentle look, showing a long-lost smile, and said warmly: "Very good, I did a good job this time, I will let you go when I return to Beijing." Madam will give you and Chan'er a red line."

Yu Chuan said humbly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hou, but it is a small honor to serve for Mr. Hou."

Gu Jingxi glanced at him and said: "Stop flattering and make the key quickly, or get the key from Master Wei's neck to open the mechanism."

Yu Chuan said: "I'm going to find someone to make the key right away. I can make it within today. Then I can go to the study to find out tonight."

Gu Jingxi nodded and said, "Go ahead, get things done as soon as possible, and return to Beijing as soon as possible. If Chan'er agrees, you can get a wife as soon as possible."

Yu Chuan bowed his hand and left as quickly as possible to find someone to make the key. Although he had not slept all night, he did not feel sleepy at all.

Seeing him leaving with a silly smile, Chan'er felt puzzled and said to Qingqiu: "Qingqiu, do you think he picked up the money? He smiled so happily."

Qingqiu shook his head with a smile: "I don't know whether he picked up the money or not, but when he came to see the Marquis, the Marquis was in a bad mood. Now that he can leave with a smile, it must have made the Marquis feel better."

In that room, Meng Jinyao had just seen her husband with a dark face and reluctantly going out to see Yu Chuan. Now she saw her husband smiling and in a good mood. She couldn't help but feel curious: "Husband, look You are in a good mood, why are you so happy about something good?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Ayao, if nothing unexpected happens, we can return to Beijing the day after tomorrow."

Meng Jinyao was very surprised: "Why so suddenly, did you find the account book?"

Gu Jingxi did not hide anything from her, and said warmly: "I haven't found it yet, but it should be soon. Yu Chuan found a dark room. I'm going to turn on the machine tonight to find out. Mr. Wei should put something as important as a private account in the dark room."

Hearing this, the corners of Meng Jinyao's lips raised, and she was happy for him: "That's great, otherwise I would really have frightened the snake if I dragged it on. Now he took the account book without anyone noticing, and then returned to Beijing, but Mr. Wei didn't notice it at all. This way We can save a lot of trouble.”

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly and added: "If we really find the account book, we can have people pack our luggage tomorrow, and we will set off back to Beijing the morning after tomorrow."
