Gu Yu looked at the document in Mu Qingning's hand with an embarrassed expression, but he remained silent.

The air was frozen like that until Mu Qingning began to shed tears.

Gu Yu panicked, so he had to confess to Mu Qingning.

"Gu Qi said that Gu's Group is in trouble now, so I just mortgaged my house. When they can turn around, I will go and get the mortgage released.

They are all trivial matters. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry about them.”

"You've mortgaged the house. Have you already given them all the star coins you have?"

Mu Qingning stared straight into Gu Yu's eyes. She wished he would tell her that the star coin in his hand was still there.

Of course this is impossible. If he had enough star coins, why would he mortgage his house? !

Gu Yu avoided her gaze, stammered in response, and then tried to change the subject.

"Don't get excited. I'll make you whatever you want to eat tonight!"

Mu Qingning snorted coldly, not buying his tricks at all, and continued to talk relentlessly.

"Gu Yu, the Gu family kicked you out a long time ago, but if you have the heart to help the Gu family, you can.

Use your own star coins and your own abilities to help. Why do you need to use the star coins Xiaoyue gave you to help the Gu family?"

Gu Yu felt somewhat displeased when he heard her say this.

"Although I left the Gu family, I am still a member of the Gu family!

Xiaoyue and Xiaoyang are also children of the Gu family. What's wrong with me using Xiaoyue's money to help the Gu family get through the difficult times?

Besides, a hundred years after my father passes away, won’t the Gu family still belong to Xiaoyang and Xiaoyue?

What I am doing now is helping the children, isn’t it? What’s the problem?”

Mu Qingning believed that with the star coins that Gu Xiaoyue gave them, they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives and it was enough for them to live lavishly.

Gu Xiaoyue's intention was, on the surface, to help Gu Xiaoyang fight for Gu's shares, but in fact she was trying to provoke Gu Yongze, Gu Qi and others so that they would kick Gu Yu out completely.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyue had been missing for half a year, and Gu Yu had been deceived into losing all his star coins and even mortgaged his property!

“No problem, but I’ll tell you in advance—I will never use the star coins in my hand to help the Gu Group!

You mortgaged your property to get star coins, but they didn't give you corresponding shares, right?"

Gu Yu did not answer, but looking at his expression, Mu Qingning's guess was absolutely correct!

"I'm warning you one last time. If you dare to take the star coins from me, we will get divorced!"

Gu Yu was stunned as if struck by lightning!

He really didn't understand. He was clearly busy taking care of this family, but until now, no one appreciated it and couldn't say enough good things about him.

Even Mu Qingning let it go and threatened to divorce him!

Was it really that I was wrong?

Gu Xiaoyue and Bai Meng had already discussed a retreat plan. She began to observe the approximate time Bai Jinyi returned to the dormitory after finishing his affairs every day.

She asked Xiao Mo to become invisible and placed several pinhole cameras in Bai Jinyi's room.

It's basically 360 degrees with no blind spots. There's a high probability that Bai Jinyi will be able to take pictures of the secret room where he imprisoned Zheng Jie, as well as the method of getting in that night when he returns.

The pinhole camera was connected to his optical computer, and he saw Bai Jinyi returning to his dormitory.

Gu Xiaoyue thought she had won the game, but she didn't expect that on the surveillance screen, Bai Jinyi stood at the door and pressed a button.

All her cameras immediately failed, the screen of her computer went black, and there was no picture!

Could it be that there is a signal jammer in Bai Jinyi's room? He would clean it up before going home every day to prevent others from placing similar electronic devices in his room.

No wonder in the past twenty years, except Yan Xinnan, almost no one knew that Bai Jinyi had a mistress in the secret room.

It seems that we can't be impatient and need to explore slowly.

A few days later, Gu Xiaoyue sneaked into the palace again, and this time there were obviously more than twice as many guards.

The thief who stole the treasure house has not been caught yet, and the whole of Kyoto is in a state of panic.

I don’t know what will happen to the guards if the thief is not caught, but the most important thing is Bai Yukang’s life. Most of the guards will not be sentenced to death.

She put the will back to its original place and went to treat Bai Yukang to prolong his life.

If she could find a way to enter the secret room and rescue Bai Meng's mother, why would she care about Bai Yukang's life or death?

If he died, he could just go to the imperial mausoleum with Bai Meng to keep vigil over the deceased and escape from Kyoto.

I don’t know if she alerted the enemy, but in the past two months, Bai Jinyi has been more cautious and failed to let her spy on him.

It was not until more than two months later that the Ten Treasure Berries in Gu Xiaoyue's Beast Taming Space ripened again.

She pretended to let Bai Jinyi take him into the palace to visit His Majesty.

"By the way, go and see if the will has been established!"

Gu Xiaoyue knew that this was what Bai Jinyi cared about most, and she would definitely achieve her goal by saying this.

After the two entered the palace, Bai Jinyi took Gu Xiaoyue to visit Bai Yukang.

Now he is emaciated and has to lie in bed all day, hanging on to his last breath. His condition is much worse than before Gu Xiaoyue's first treatment.

When Manager Shi saw Gu Xiaoyue, he couldn't help but plead for mercy.

"Mr. Gu, please think of another way. Your Majesty, this is--"

Gu Xiaoyue snorted in her heart, if there is any problem, it’s Zhong Wuyan, if there is no problem, it’s Xia Yingchun.

Manager Shi is so humble only when he asks someone for help. Once he no longer needs someone, he will kick them out immediately.

It's all because of Bai Yukang's personality that he has such a snobbish servant!

“If the elf was still in my hands, maybe it could have been of some help.

Unfortunately, I am now at the end of my strength and can sense that I don’t have much time left, so I came to see Your Majesty.”

Gu Xiaoyue admired Manager Shi's wonderful expression, which was a mixture of surprise, fear, regret, helplessness and sadness.

It was all thanks to Manager Shi's instigation that she lost her companion beast. Now that the boomerang hit her, he should feel the pain!

It’s a pity that it’s useless even if he knows it. Bai Yukang won’t live long, and neither will he!

After leaving Bai Yukang's bedroom, Bai Jinyi took Gu Xiaoyue to the imperial study.

After sending all the servants away, he went behind the plaque himself and saw that there was indeed a scroll!

Bai Jinyi opened it with great joy and saw her name!

"Mr. Gu is truly a god!——"

His eyes lit up, then he narrowed them slightly.

While he was praising Gu Xiaoyue, his eyes were fixed on the edict and he couldn't move them away!

The hands holding the edict were trembling slightly, and it could be seen that Bai Jinyi was trying his best to suppress his excitement.

It is natural for him to be happy that his long-cherished wish is about to come true, but in front of Gu Xiaoyue, Bai Jinyi must restrain himself!

"Um - Your Majesty, I suddenly have a stomachache. Let's leave first!"

Since he already knew the result, there was no need for him to linger any longer.

Gu Xiaoyue even used the excuse of going to the bathroom to feed Bai Yukang some Shibao berry juice.

Bai Jinyi is in a good mood tonight, so he might not be careful enough to let her know how to enter the secret room.

Continuing to keep Bai Yukang alive for a while is also the case that if he fails tonight, she and Bai Meng will have more time to investigate.

After finishing everything, Gu Xiaoyue and Bai Jinyi got on the car back to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Gu Xiaoyue sat in the passenger seat and peeked at Bai Jinyi's expression through the rearview mirror.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Oh, my Lord, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you."

Gu Xiaoyue's eyes were vague and her expression was conflicted, as if she was considering something and was hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Gu, just speak frankly."

"I remember that on the day His Majesty issued his will, he dismissed everyone except Steward Shi.

Now, Your Highness, we have read the contents of the will and know what Your Majesty means.

But if Butler Shi finds out, it will inevitably cause trouble—"

In fact, even if Butler Shi knew that Bai Jinyi had gone to the imperial study to peek at the imperial edict, he couldn't do anything to Bai Jinyi.

He would only think that King Yi had read the imperial edict and given up the idea of ​​succeeding to the throne.

How could Manager Shi have imagined that Gu Xiaoyue had already rewritten the will!

In fact, if Bai Jinyi thinks about it, she will understand that the life or death of Butler Shi is insignificant.

But at this moment, he was only one step away from the throne, so how could he allow any factor that might affect him to exist?

Bai Jinyi didn't say much, just nodded slightly, "Mr. Gu is thoughtful."

"Your Majesty, I am just trying my best."

Gu Xiaoyue felt safe, and that night she asked Xiao Mo to continue sneaking into Bai Jinyi's room in stealth.

Bai Jinyi was so excited that he entered the password incorrectly twice before he was able to enter the secret room.

He had been subconsciously blocking it tightly before, and it was only because of this mistake that the password was remembered by Xiao Mo.

At the same time, Xiao Mo also saw a woman with golden eyes like a doll in the secret room.
