The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

After the people from the first and second houses left Shou'an Hall, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi had not yet left and stayed to talk to Old Madam Gu for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time to set off, Gu Jingxi handed the small oil bottle in his arms to his old mother and said, "Mom, I'll thank you for taking care of it every night."

Madam Gu took her grandson from her son's arms and said with a loving smile, "Don't worry, go out. I will take good care of Wanwan."

Gu Jingxi pinched his son's little cheek and said, "It's hard work for my mother today. The child is older and more noisy than before."

Madam Gu glared at him and said, "When it comes to making a fuss, who can be as noisy as you were back then? Wanwan doesn't know how well-behaved she is. Don't talk nonsense and ruin my grandson's reputation."

Gu Jingxi: "..."

What kind of reputation does a little thing that’s still not weaned from breastfeeding need?

Mrs. Gu didn't argue with him and urged: "Okay, you can go out with peace of mind. It's rare that you have time to go out with A Yao today."

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Okay, thank you, mother."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed his young wife and left without looking back, which showed that he didn't care about his son at all.

On the other hand, the little guy watched his parents leave helplessly, until their figures faded out of sight. He seemed to notice something. He flattened his mouth and wanted to cry a little, but the next moment he was distracted by the rattle in the wet nurse's hand. He was innocent and innocent. The smile appeared again.

Old Madam Gu looked at the wet nurse with appreciation. The wet nurse was a clever one. Then she started to tease her little grandson.

It is said that generations apart are close. The older lady Gu liked Wanwan more and more. Although she was a quiet person, she could talk to the child incessantly. Wanwan could not speak yet and could only look at her and giggle, which made her very satisfied.

Over there, the carriage is ready.

Just as Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi were about to leave, the housekeeper hurriedly walked towards them, bowed to them, and then said, "My Lord, the Minister of Justice Yu is here to visit you. He said he has something urgent to see you about."

Mr. Yu?

Gu Jingxi was slightly startled, then turned to look at Meng Jinyao with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Meng Jinyao said sympathetically, "My husband, since Lord Yu has come to visit us personally, it must be something very important. You should go and do your work first. We will not go out today. We will go out next time you have a day off."

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly: "Ayao, I'll go take a look first. If there's something else to do, we won't go out today."

Meng Jinyao curled up her lips and smiled: "Husband, go quickly, I will go to my mother's place to stay with Wanwan."

Gu Jingxi did not waste time and hurried to see Mr. Yu. When he arrived at the living room, he saw Mr. Yu pacing back and forth in the hall. He was a little surprised and didn't know what was going on. He made Mr. Yu uneasy and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Suddenly, Mr. Yu suddenly Come to the door, don’t know why?”

Master Yu glanced at the maids standing on both sides and said, "Master Gu, this is not the place to talk."

Gu Jingxi was stunned, and then said: "Then please Mr. Yu move to Xiaguan's study."

Lord Yu nodded and followed him to the study in the front yard.

As soon as he entered the study, Master Yu took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Gu Jingxi, and said, "Master Gu, I won't say any more nonsense. After you read these things, you will understand why I am so anxious to find you."

Gu Jingxi reached out to take the letter, sat down aside, and read the content carefully. His face gradually became serious. After a long time, he put down the letter in his hand and looked up at Master Yu: "Master Yu, where did you get these things? ?”

Master Yu replied: "Early this morning, a little beggar sent it. I don't know who asked the little beggar to send it. After reading the letter, I learned that it was related to the death of Prince Huizhao, so I came. I'm looking for Mr. Gu. The Emperor ordered me and Mr. Gu to investigate the matter thoroughly. There has been no progress for more than half a year. Now that we finally have a clue, I will naturally not hide it from Mr. Gu. "

Gu Jingxi was silent: "..."

If it was about something else, Mr. Yu knew the clues and was sure he had done the job well. When would he let him know and give him half of the credit? This kind of thing just drags him into the water, and when the time comes, let him share half of the benefits and disadvantages. He is really a cunning old fox.

After a moment, he responded calmly: "Thank you, Master Yu. Did Master Yu send someone to break down the temple and arrest the people related to this case?"

Master Yu replied: "I have not yet learned about this, so I came to discuss it with Master Gu. In your opinion, can this news be trusted?"

Gu Jingxi was silent again: "..."

This old guy is really cunning. He wants to drag him into the water and make him participate in the whole process. The reason why he is not in a hurry to catch him is definitely because the person who delivered the message will keep the person under good care and will not evacuate until their people are almost there.

He replied, "Master Yu, I think it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Let's send someone to the ruined temple outside the city to find out the truth. What do you think?"

Mr. Yu said: "What Mr. Gu said makes sense, let's send someone to find out first. If there is really the person mentioned in the letter, then arrest him first."

Gu Jingxi did not waste any time and immediately called Zhou Yun and others, asking them to go to the dilapidated temple outside the city to bring the person back.

Lord Yu then asked, "Lord Gu, who do you think was the person who passed the message to us? Since he knew the truth, why didn't he tell the emperor himself, or report it to the authorities?"

Gu Jingxi answered very conservatively: "Perhaps it's because Prince Hui Zhao is popular among the people, and someone knows the cause of his death. He wants the murderer to get the punishment he deserves, but he doesn't want people to know who he is, so he sent a little beggar to deliver the letter."

Lord Yu glanced at him and felt depressed by his cautiousness.

Where do so many good people who are indifferent to fame and fortune come from?

Prince Huizhao is the emperor's favorite son. If anyone knows the cause of his death and provides clues to the case, he will definitely receive a heavy reward from the emperor.

Those who can hide their merit and fame so deeply must be using them to overthrow the second prince who is currently gaining momentum and has the best chance of becoming the prince. As for who that person is, whoever becomes the prince by then will have the greatest possibility.

They had suspected the Second Prince before, but had no evidence. Now they have clues, but it is not easy to get involved in such matters. The Second Prince is also a son that the Emperor values ​​very much. If the matter is reported to the Emperor, how will the Emperor punish the Second Prince?

Both of them are sons and both are outstanding. They are all flesh and blood. If the emperor severely punishes the second prince, he will feel uncomfortable. Will he vent his anger on those of them who are handling the case?

Gu Jingxi turned to look at Mr. Yu and knew what Mr. Yu was muttering in his heart. Mr. Yu was able to get to where he is today step by step because he was cautious and thought through everything he did. To put it bluntly, he was a bit unfounded. He said warmly: "Sir Yu , don’t think too much, the emperor is a wise king.”

Lord Yu nodded, then asked, "Lord Gu, do you think it really could be the Second Prince?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Master Yu, I only believe in facts and evidence. If the evidence is conclusive, then it is true. Otherwise, someone is slandering and spreading rumors to destroy the reputation of the Second Prince. Whether it is true or not, we should find out clearly. We must not wrongly accuse any good person, nor let the murderer behind the scenes go."

His answer was flawless.

Master Yu has nothing to do with him, and has given up talking to him, while also keeping his mouth shut.
