After the conversation, Zhou's father and son left the Marquis' Mansion.

In the carriage, as soon as they left the Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa, father, how is it?"

After taking a look at Zhou Yu, Doctor Zhou asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"About the threat from the eldest daughter of the Gu family this morning. Didn't you and grandfather go to discuss this matter?" Zhou Yu looked puzzled.

Doctor Zhou glanced at Zhou Yu who was confused, closed his eyes, and leaned against the carriage. "What do you mean by threatened? How come I don't know?"

??? Zhou Yu looked at his father who was lying with his eyes closed, and then looked at his grandfather who also had his eyes closed, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Anyone can see the change in your expression after Gu Jue finished speaking this morning. You even said you were not threatened. Then why did you still say that in front of the palace? Don't say that you lied to the emperor this morning because you liked Gu Jue."

Hearing the sensitive words, Doctor Zhou opened his eyes quickly, frowned, and looked at Zhou Yu warningly.

"What nonsense! What was said in front of the palace is true. Your grandfather has also seen it. It is indeed true. Don't say something that shouldn't be said."

After being warned by his father, Zhou Yu behaved a little better. "Son knows he was wrong. I won't do it again."

As soon as I finished saying it, I immediately realized that something was wrong!

Although he did not check the pulse of Marquis Gu Yuan and the old marquis, when they were at the Gu Mansion, his father clearly said that he did not want to deceive the emperor regarding what Gu Jue said, but when they arrived in front of the palace, it was Gu Jue who said it.

After thinking about it, I finally figured it out. So, is it a done deal? Should I keep silent and pretend nothing happened?

Since his father and the others didn't want him to know, it would be better for him not to know. He didn't have many good points, except that he listened to advice.

A few days later

winter solstice

On this day, Lanxing finally arrived in Yanjing.

As soon as he returned to Yanjing, Lanxing heard about the capture of the Marquis' Mansion. He was not surprised.

However, when he heard that Honghong had moved into the Marquis' Mansion, Lanxing was surprised and asked in confusion:

"Why did Honghong move into the Marquis' Mansion? Although the Marquis' Mansion is now exquisite, it is still the Marquis' Mansion and has many rules. Why would Honghong want to live in the Marquis' Mansion?"

After a pause and thinking for a while, he asked doubtfully: "Could it be that he got into trouble again?"

After hearing what Lanxing said, Chengcheng and Chacha, who were sitting opposite Lanxing, looked a little strange.

After a long while, Cheng Cheng took the initiative to explain. "Hong Hong didn't cause any trouble."

After hesitating for a while, he said: "Actually, it was Linglong who suggested that Honghong live in the Marquis' Mansion. Honghong didn't tell us the specific reason."

After knowing that it was Gu Jue who proposed to let Honghong live in the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Xing felt relieved.

"Since it was Linglong who proposed it, she must have her reasons. Besides, it's great that Honghong is by Linglong's side. We can do our own things without any worries."

After saying that, he prepared to go back to his room, "I'm going to take a shower first, I'm covered in dust."

However, just as Lanxing stood up and prepared to go back to his room, he was stopped, "Um, Brother Xing."

Lanxing turned his head with a puzzled look, looked at Chengcheng who called him, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Chengcheng and Chacha looked at each other, thought about it, and decided to tell Lanxing what they had discovered was wrong.

"Well, Brother Xing. It's like, you weren't in Yanjing recently, and Honghong started going to the Marquis' Mansion every few days. Chacha and I asked him about it, but he didn't say anything, as if he was hiding something from us. Not long after, Honghong moved into the Marquis' Mansion."

Lanxing thought about it for a while, and after understanding what Chengcheng meant, he asked, "Do you think Honghong is weird?"

"Not only Honghong, but also Linglong." Chengcheng became excited when he said this.

"Honghong has never been so persistent in doing something before, and she kept it a secret from me and Chacha. No matter how we tried to get her to tell us, even using threats and bribes, we couldn't get any information out of her. She is so tight-lipped that she doesn't seem like Honghong anymore."

"Linglong is the same. Linglong has never been away from here for such a long time before, and she has never been like this. It's strange."

Cheng Cheng frowned, not knowing what to say, "Although Ling Long didn't do anything strange, Cha Cha and I just felt it was very strange, with an indescribable feeling."

After listening to Chengcheng's words, Lanxing digested it and thought for a while, "Linglong should have some plan."

"As for Honghong, she should have been sent by Linglong to do something. Maybe the matter was important, and Linglong had told Honghong to keep it secret."

"Don't worry, Linglong is here, nothing will go wrong. Don't worry."

"But we are not others. Linglong will not tell us something that even we cannot tell. This is what I find strange. What happened that caused Honghong to take the initiative to keep it a secret from us, and so strictly." Chengcheng analyzed seriously.

He didn't think Gu Jue would hide it from them. As long as they asked, she would tell them. However, she hadn't come to their place for a long time. He had no place to ask, and it was not easy to go to the Marquis' Mansion to find her.

Seeing that Chengcheng and Chacha both looked serious, Lanxing also thought about it seriously.

"Well, today is the winter solstice, and the family must eat dumplings together. Send someone to ask Linglong whether to eat here or at the Marquis' Mansion."

Hearing Lanxing's words, Chengcheng and Chacha's eyes lit up. "Okay."

They have always wanted to ask clearly, but they just don't know how to say it, and there is no good opportunity to ask.

Linglong didn't come to their place, and they couldn't go to the Marquis' Mansion. Now that Lanxing was back, they finally had a chance to ask clearly.
