Gu's defense was quick and clear. Not only Xu Yiwen, but even Old Man Xu was very satisfied. Gu finally thought of a clever idea in a hurry and what he said was good.

"Wen'er, did you hear everything? Do you have any questions? Apologize to your mother quickly."

Xu Yiwen was stunned. He still felt that something was wrong. Recalling some of the things his sister had said, Xu Yiwen withstood the pressure from his father and asked, "Dad, if Lord Shen of Jingzhao Prefecture finds out that there is indeed a problem, what will you do?"

"Wen'er! You are so rude! How Jingzhao Prefecture investigates the case is their business, and it has nothing to do with us. What's more, you saw that the person written on it is Gu Pozi. She has been dead for a long time. Can we dig her out and ask about her?"

Even if we take a step back and assume that it was done by Mrs. Gu, it has nothing to do with your mother. Moreover, I don’t believe any of the words written on it!”

Old Man Xu tilted his head back, feeling as if he wanted to cry because of the stinging sunlight, but he still said these words resolutely, which made Xu Yiwen feel disappointed and heartbroken.

"Dad, if my sister comes back and asks, will you give the same answer?"

"Humph, even if the emperor came to ask me personally, I would still say so."

Xu Yiwen struggled to stand up, feeling a little dizzy: "I know... I know..." Then he staggered out of the study yard, not knowing where to go.

Xu Qian stepped forward: "General, do you want to follow the eldest master?"

"Forget it, let him be. Everything will be fine once he figures it out."

Only Gu, Old Man Xu and Xu Qian were left in the yard. Old Man walked up to Gu, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

"Go back to your room. You don't need to come out recently. If something happens again, I can't protect you!"

After being hit, Gu felt that her front teeth were loose and she saw stars. It was extremely painful.

But she clearly heard that the master was planning to protect himself? Great!

"Master, Master, Master, Master Gu and Madam Gu are here, and they are already at the door."

Old Man Xu glared at Gu lying on the ground. He knew without thinking that this must be the reinforcements called by Gu.

"Please ask them to meet in the front hall. I'll be there soon." After saying this, Old Man Xu turned and went to the main courtyard. He had just come out of court and had not changed into his regular clothes yet.

And he just wanted to give the old couple some cold shoulder. It was your daughter and her people who caused me so much trouble!

Regardless of how chaotic the Xu Mansion was, there was a sense of peace in the Prince's Mansion.

Xu Yixing took the "confession" and sat in front of the window, reading it line by line. It had been a long time since he had seen such a comprehensive Kyoto Record.

"Is everything written here true?"

"You want 90% of it to be true, right? These are all based on real evidence or witnesses. I didn't include any rumors."

Lu Anyuan and Xu Yixing also sat by the window. When the court was dismissed today, there was a commotion at the palace gate. It had been many years since I had seen such a lively scene.

"Tsk tsk tsk, she even harms her own sister, she is such a scoundrel!" Xu Yixing now hates those who are sisters but don't care for their sisters the most, so he got really angry as he watched.

"What's the big deal? If it's in the palace, even your own children are used as bargaining chips. What's so strange about that?"

"Ugh!"

"Are the two lines written here about your family true?"

Xu Yixing imitated Lu Anyuan's expression: "It's only nine out of ten true."

"Then your child is pretty miserable. What do you think your father would do?"

Xu Yixing put down the paper in his hand, his eyes revealing fatigue: "I guess my father will hand Gu over to the authorities and divorce my wife."

Lu Anyuan raised his eyebrows. He had heard the funniest joke of the year: "Do you think we can get along peacefully with the Second Prince?"

"impossible."

“So the same goes for that.”

Xu Yixing laughed angrily, feeling a little pain in his ribs. "Well, I guess my dad will act as if nothing happened, just like most of the people on this list."

"Reasonable."

The back and forth conversation made Siqin and Xiaoshe who were standing by the side dumbfounded. Are these all the same thing? How did they get to the same topic?

Lu Anyuan really likes this way of chatting, as if only the other party can understand each other's conversation. This secret conversation makes him feel cordial and at ease.

"Your Highness, Madam, the person in charge of watching the Xu Mansion has replied, saying that Master Xu went out alone, and he looked a little dazed. Also, the Minister of Revenue, Lord Gu, and his wife visited the Xu Mansion, and they haven't come out yet."

"Got it." Lu Anyuan's eyes showed some concern: "Do you want someone to follow Yiwen?"

"No need, where else can he go? I'll have to look for him later, no rush."

"Well, your grandparents are gone, why don't you go and see them?"

"What kind of in-laws are they to me? I won't go. Let them solve it themselves. I'll watch for two days. When the fire is not strong enough, I'll go add more wood."

Lu Anyuan smiled. He thought that he had married a great daughter-in-law who was good at adding fuel to the fire. From now on, the family would no longer have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Well, since Madam has made a plan, I won't worry about it. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get away with it. If there's anything, I'll be the first one to find you. By the way, what happened to the investigation of Ying Fei's brother that you mentioned last time?"

"The official we sent out hasn't come back yet, and there's no result yet. But we estimate he should be back in October, and our father won't give him that long."

"Then the Second Prince and Concubine Ying are silent, so we are just waiting for them to investigate?"

"No, I don't know why this time, but there was really no reaction."

Uh... If they don't move, how can Lu Anyuan and I find the fault and expose Wu Xueyan's affairs? It's really annoying.

"Well, then I will take care of my family's affairs first. Let the Second Prince get in line!"

Lu Anyuan smiled, and he recalled the scene he saw in the illusion. Xu Yixing was the judge, sitting on the high bench, announcing who was guilty one by one, and then dragging people out for execution.

From this perspective, there is no difference between her and the King of Hell. Whoever she points to will die. If their life span has not yet ended, they will be put in line at the back.

Lu Anyuan was amused by his own thoughts and happened to run into Xu Yixing who was about to leave after changing his clothes.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just think you look like an image in a niche."

"Bodhisattva? Not bad, but I can't guarantee that your wishes will come true. Okay, I'm going to talk to Xu Yiwen. See you in the evening."

"Okay, there will be fresh sturgeon delivered tonight. Remember to come back early. I'll wait for you to eat together."

Xu Yixing smiled without saying anything, put on a coat and went out. She was going to find Xu Yiwen to ask about the situation. His brain was not working well, and if he got upset, it would be troublesome.
