Shi Xiu originally thought that after he said this, Guan Yingying would definitely leave.

but.

Guan Yingying said coldly: "The child's surname is Gu. If I take him away, it means I don't understand reason. If I leave him to them, they won't treat him well. Even if he dies, I won't let the Gu family down in any way."

Shi Xiu clicked his tongue twice and said nothing more.

tough enough.

Gu Boyu had been beating drums and gongs outside all day and had lost all his dignity, but what was even more shameless was that he refused to come out of the mansion and died.

At the hour of You, he asked the maid to take Gu Yuebai back, and he, along with the housekeeper Xiao Zhang, went to Chaoyang Pavilion to have a drink. After having a good meal and a good drink, he went to the Tung Oil Factory to find an acquaintance and bought a batch of tung oil.

Butler Zhang didn't know why the uncle bought so much tung oil, he just paid the bill.

When I returned to the Bo Mansion, the entire mansion was quiet.

Gu Boyu returned to his study and looked at this place which was called a study but where no poem had ever been written or a book read properly. He suddenly felt extremely regretful.

That night, Xie Zhaozhao, who learned that Gu Boyu had failed to catch Guan Yingying after two or three days of trying, once again lent a hand to help.

He wrote a letter and asked Bei Chen to put it in the official sedan chair of Lord Yu, the Censor.

There was no mention of bandits, let alone crimes such as "refining poison" and "the Guan case" that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of a clan.

It was said that a concubine ran away from the Pingyang Marquis's mansion and hid in the Prince's mansion. The Marquis's mansion brought the children to the Prince's mansion to ask for her back for several days, but no one in the Prince's mansion paid any attention to them.

For such a matter that is neither big nor small, Lord Yu will be more courageous when impeaching, and will not be soft-spoken and weak-legged, and it will not involve the Bo family and the extermination of all nine generations of the family.

Lord Yu was indeed very brave. He made a few inquiries outside and then made an impassioned speech in the court, saying that the concubine was very hateful. She left her child alone and watched Chengyan being castrated, and then she wanted to seduce the prince...

Emperor Hui looked at Lord Yu several times. The Censorate was getting more and more boring. They even used such trivial matters to impeach him?

Was this deliberately arranged by the prince? It looked like an impeachment, but it was not painful.

He threw the memorial onto the dragon table, his face darkening, "Prince, how do you manage the Prince's Mansion? Do you have to bring this matter to the court to resolve it?"

The prince glared at Lord Yu several times. Lord Yu felt agitated. Since such a big commotion had occurred, if his subordinates did not impeach him, it meant that he probably didn't want to do his job anymore.

Duke Cheng En was hard of hearing. The officials around him explained to him in a low voice. He also stood up and urged the prince: "Your Highness, if you can't even clean up your own house, how can you keep the world in order? If the Crown Princess was here, why would such a small matter be brought to the court? I think your housekeeper should be beaten with a stick first, and the Crown Princess should be appointed as soon as possible."

The prince had no choice but to say, "Father, I have no idea about this matter. I will deal with it as soon as possible when I return."

While the impeachment was going on here, Xie Zhaozhao had already informed Gu Boyu of the progress of the matter and asked him to go outside the Prince's Mansion to block people immediately.

The prince left the court, and the luxurious carriage stopped outside the door. He said to Gu Boyu who was waiting there, "Pingyang Marquis, please come in and talk to me."

Gu Boyu did not hesitate at all, and without taking any servants with him, he followed the prince into the mansion.

The prince sat in a high seat, looking at Gu Boyu who was standing bent down below, and warned: "It's true that Aunt Yue is Gu Chengyan's concubine, but she is also a technician I hired to develop weapons. You made a lot of noise outside the mansion. Do you think I dare not punish you?"

Gu Boyu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, I have no other choice but to do this. My wife just passed away, Gu Chengyan and Gu Zheng carried the coffin back to their hometown, my daughter-in-law divorced and returned to her parents' home, my old mother is old and my grandson is young.

I dare to ask Aunt Yue to go back and take care of the child, even if she serves His Highness during the day and can return home at night."

The prince saw that he was being very humble, so he said, "It's not impossible for her to go back, but you must promise me that you must come back and work properly during the day. Also, when Gu Chengyan comes back, tell him to write a letter to release me immediately, and you can find someone to take care of the child."

"Yes, yes, I will obey your order." Gu Boyu seemed to be relieved and agreed without hesitation. He pointed three fingers to the sky and swore, "If I can't do it, I will die without a burial place."

The prince said to Shi Xiu, "Go, tell Aunt Yue to follow Master Gu back to the mansion, and go to the mansion to pick her up tomorrow morning."

Shi Xiu agreed and went to the next yard to call Guan Yingying.

When Guan Yingying heard Shi Xiu say that he would return in the evening and pick her up early in the morning, she was still nervous.

He repeatedly told Shi Xiu: "He is just trying to buy time. If I go back, I will definitely die."

Shi Xiu sneered, "You are His Highness's man. If I can't send you back safely, it will affect the entire Bo's Mansion. How many of him dare to go against His Highness?"

Guan Yingying had no choice but to follow Shi Xiu out.

This time, Gu Boyu took a good look at Guan Yingying.

He has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, skin as black as charcoal, and his eyebrows are all drawn on.

Sure enough, he is like that old man Guan Shanyue.

Guan Yingying looked at Gu Boyu who glanced at her twice. There was only indifference but no murderous intent in his eyes. Moreover, the prince asked Shi Xiu to personally send her and Gu Boyu back to the prince's mansion, and she immediately became arrogant again.

What kind of Bofu is this? They are all servile in front of a eunuch. Tsk~

Gu Boyu took care of Yingying and walked in. He said to Rushi, "Take Yuebai to Aunt Yue's room and serve her!"

Rushi responded and carried Gu Yuebai out.

Gu Yuebai hugged Guan Yingying's neck and cried breathlessly: "Mom, they don't even give me food to eat, I'm starving!"

Guan Yingying also shed tears. Damn Bo's family, this is your grandson, your only little master!

Watching Aunt Yue enter the second door and go to the backyard.

Gu Boyu returned to his study and asked the maid to grind ink for him. He then took a small soft brush and began to write the letter. After writing a few beginnings, he crumpled them up and threw them away.

It took a long time to come out of the study.

Went to the old lady’s Ci’en Temple.

She said to Yalan, the new maidservant beside the old lady, "Go to each courtyard and call all the masters."

He handed another letter to Yahui and said, "Give this letter to the Second Madam in person. Don't let anyone else do it."

After doing all this, Gu Boyu scratched his head and sat beside the old lady. He spread his hair and said to her, "Mom, my head itches. Please scratch it for me, like when I was a child."

The old lady's eyes turned red. She took his hair off and saw that it was all white. She couldn't help but choked up and said, "Boss, why are your hair all white?"

Gu Boyu smiled and said, "Mom, I'm almost fifty years old."

The old lady tickled him slowly, and soon, all the concubines of the main house and Gu Chengyan's five concubines came to the old lady's Ci'en Courtyard.

Uncle Gu asked Yalan to invite everyone to sit in the yard and have snacks. These were the snacks that Butler Zhang had customized at Chaoyang Pavilion today. They were very exquisite.

The old lady asked, "What's going on today? Why are you all in my yard?"

"Mother, they are here to pay their respects to you." Gu Boyu did not stand up and continued to let the old lady scratch his scalp.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Lu came with the concubines from the second room. Originally, Lord Gu asked Mrs. Lu to bring Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi as well, but Mrs. Lu did not.

Gu Boyu put his hair up and said to Yalan and Yahui, "Take Young Master Yuebai out to play. We have something to discuss."

Yalan Yahui coaxed Gu Yuebai out, and Guan Yingying suddenly had a bad thought in her mind. She shouted, "Bai Bai hasn't seen me for many days, don't leave me."

Madam Lu snorted and scolded, "How can a lowly concubine like me yell so loudly? Siqin, slap your face."

Siqin slapped her hands twice, and Guan Yingying stood up angrily, glaring at Siqin.

Mrs. Lu raised her voice a little: "Why, you don't want to obey me? You want to rebel?"

Guan Yingying didn't want to be beaten again, so she lowered her head in resentment and said, "I know I was wrong."

When everyone was present, Gu Boyu said to Butler Zhang, "Lock the door."

"Click", the gate of Ci'en Temple was locked.

The women in the yard looked at each other in fear.
