Gu Tingye left the study and returned to the military camp. After reporting, he arranged everything in the camp, changed into casual clothes and left the East Palace.

He and Shitou rode back to Ningyuan Hou Mansion slowly.

After returning home, Gu Tingye went back to his room. After a while, the maid came to report that Xiao Qin was here.

After hearing the news, Gu Tingye sneered in his heart and came outside expressionlessly.

"Erlang, why are you back so early today? Have you eaten lunch?" Seeing Gu Tingye coming out, Xiao Qin stood up and asked with a smile.

"Mother." Gu Tingye saluted and said, "The child has eaten."

Gu Tingye behaved as usual, but when he bowed and lowered his head, his eyes were slightly cold.

Xiao Qin was startled when she saw that look, and looked at Gu Tingye's expression seriously.

However, when Gu Tingye raised his head, his expression was the same as usual, nothing unusual.

Xiao Qin even wondered if it was her illusion just now.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Gu Tingye asked pretending to be confused.

"No...it's okay."

Xiao Qin came back to her senses and smiled: "Sit down first. I came here to tell you something."
< br>"Yes." Gu Tingye sat down and said, "I wonder if mother has anything to tell the child?"

"You are not young anymore, and the marriage should be decided. I have a niece from my mother's side. She is dignified and courteous. She is already hairdressed and has not yet been married. If you agree, I will tell your father and pick a date to ask someone to come to propose marriage. ." Xiao Qin said.

"Mom, my child is a little curious. Two years ago, my father said that he would negotiate a marriage for me, but my mother refused with various reasons. Could it be that she was just waiting for my mother's niece to get married?" Gu Tingye left her. He said calmly with a glance.

Xiao Qin's face froze, she stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Why do you think so?"

As soon as the words came out, she realized that she was a little too excited. . He quickly made an aggrieved look and said: "How can I shirk? Didn't I want to choose a good girl for you? I have asked about the ones your father mentioned. Although they have good reputations outside, In fact, it’s not that good. I’m not your biological mother. If I marry you a duplicitous person, not only will you blame me, but others will also scold me.”

Xiao Qin's eyes were slightly red, looking like she was having a hard time being a stepmother and felt aggrieved.

"Mom, look at you, why are you taking it seriously? You're just kidding me. Marriage matters are always dictated by parents and matchmakers. You and your father can just make up your mind." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"Erlang is older now. Even I am joking that I have loved you all these years in vain." Xiao Qin glared at Gu Tingye angrily and said, "Since you don't object, then your father and I will Tell me and see what he means."

After talking for a few words, Xiao Qin and Gu Tingye left.

Gu Tingye sent her to the door with a smile and looked at her leaving back with cold eyes.

“That’s right!”

At this moment, Xiao Qin suddenly turned around.

"What else can I do, mother?" Gu Tingye quickly put on a smile.

"I asked the kitchen to make soup for you. It will be delivered after a while. Don't forget to drink it." Xiao Qin said.

"Thank you, mother." Gu Tingye thanked her.

Xiao Qin nodded, turned and left.

After returning to his yard and sitting down in his room, Xiao Qin sent all the servants out, leaving only his mother.

Xiao Qin pondered for a while and said, "Do you think he knew something?"

Gu Tingye was very wrong just now. He said he was joking, but Gu Tingye used to be very serious to her. Respect, never made that joke.

If the coldness in Gu Tingye's eyes when he saluted and lowered his head was her imagination, then how should she explain when she just turned around and saw Gu Tingye looking at her coldly?

Although Gu Tingye smiled quickly, Xiao Qin firmly believed that he was not wrong.

"No way?" Xiang Mom said: "It has been so many years and everything has been cleared up. How could the second young master know about it?"

"Don't forget the old and immortal ex of the Bai family. He was brought to Bianjing a few years ago, and the old immortal always thought that Bai was killed," Xiao Qin said.

"But didn't the second young master blame this incident on the master? He had quarreled with the master several times at that time." He said to his mother.

Mr. Bai has been coming to Bianjing for several years, and Gu Tingye often visits him, so naturally he can't hide it from the Gu family.

Gu Tingye did not hide it, and even quarreled with Gu Yankai several times about this.

Xiao Qin was relieved because of this and the fact that Gu Tingye's attitude towards her was still the same as before.

"That was then, and now is now. Maybe he has been investigating this matter over the years, and now he has found out some." Xiao Qin said. "Don't worry, Madam, even if the Second Young Master finds something, there is no evidence." Xiang's mother comforted her.

Xiao Qin frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Now we don't know what he found out, nor do we know how much he knows. He is too passive. Please arrange some people Keep an eye on him."

She wanted to know how much Gu Tingye knew, which would also determine how she would treat Gu Tingye next.

If Gu Tingye didn't know much and was just suspicious, there would still be a chance to turn things around.

“Yes!” Xiang’s mother responded after hearing the words.

......

The next day, not long after Gu Tingye went out, Shitou reminded him in a low voice: "Master, someone is following you."

"Don't look back, just pretend you haven't noticed. ." Gu Tingye said.

Shitou nodded upon hearing this.

Today is the day when new scholars parade on horseback, and the city of Bianjing is even more lively than before.

Gu Tingye also had to slow down deliberately to prevent the pursuer from losing track.

Half an hour later, Gu Tingye stopped at the door of a house in the west of the outer city.

Gu Tingye looked around first, and then asked Shitou to knock on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door was opened by a middle-aged woman.

After the courtyard door was closed, the person who was following him came out from a corner, inquired about people nearby, and left in a hurry.

......

"What did you say?"

After hearing what Xiang's mother said, Xiao Qin said with an ugly face: "He has already found the one that was sold before. Servant?”

Generally speaking, in a wealthy family, if a servant knows about the scandal in the family, the servant will definitely not survive.

But for those servants who don’t know much, they are all looking for someone to sell them off.

This sale is not about selling people to Ren Yazi, but giving people money so that Ren Yazi can sell their servants to remote places.

"No wonder his attitude was so weird yesterday!" Xiao Qin murmured.

"Madam, based on the temperament of the second young master, if it is really confirmed, it will definitely not be like yesterday. And those servants cannot know anything, it is nothing more than some speculation. There is no actual evidence. "I comforted my mother.

The servants who can be sold basically don't know the inside story.

The reason for selling is to prevent them from discussing in private.

"A lot of times it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not." Xiao Qin shook his head slightly.

Even if there is no evidence, as long as Gu Tingye believes it, he will definitely guard against her in the future.

It would be difficult for her to deal with Gu Tingye.

And she thought of Gu Tingye's impulsive temperament.

Gu Tingye did not break out at this time, probably because he wanted to find evidence.

But what if Gu Tingye can't find the evidence for a long time?

Will you go directly to Kaifeng Mansion to sue her?

Although slaves cannot sue their masters, those who have been sold are no longer slaves of the Gu family.

Xiao Qin wasn't afraid, since those people didn't know much and had no evidence anyway.

What she is afraid of is that if things break out, her reputation will be ruined.

No, those few people can't let them live.
