The few of them knew that Gu Yuan had followed the army to the southwest in the first half of last year and wasn’t in the capital at all. The military rules were strict. How could he have the time to give birth to a bastard son!

Fan Beiran was also envious of Gu Yuan. “I heard that the beauties in the southwest are especially amorous and have ersatz exoticism. They’re different from the beauties in the capital…”

“I went to the southwest once, three years ago…” Young Master Fei Liu said with some nostalgia. Then, he burst out laughing and teased, “The southwest is such a damn place. You can survive for a month. Half a year is simply hell on earth!”

“Ah Yuan, it’s been hard on you!” The other young master also felt sad and patted Gu Yuan’s shoulder sympathetically.

Everyone laughed.

The corners of Gu Xiao’s eyes twitched, and he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.

After a moment of silence, he took two deep breaths and tried his best to bring the topic back. “1 was just joking just now. However, Second Brother Fan, Sixth Brother Fei, Fourth Brother Lu, did you really not hear the cries of the baby?”

“From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem to be far away…”

He put down the wine glass in his hand and suggested to Gu Yuan seriously, “Brother, in my opinion, it’s better to investigate this matter, lest some thieves sneak into the residence. Eldest Sister and Second Sister are still in the residence and haven’t gotten married yet…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but none of the young masters present were fools. They understood Gu Xiao’s unfinished words.

This kid wasn’t “sick”. He was “crazy”.

He was looking for trouble for no reason and couldn’t implicate Gu Yuan, so he wanted to slander his cousins. Was it because he hadn’t been beaten up for too long?!

Fan Beiran and the others looked at Gu Xiao indescribably.

“Enough!” Gu Yuan’s face instantly turned stern, as if it was covered in a layer of frost. He scolded Gu Xiao coldly, “Gu Xiao, if you don’t know how to speak, you don’t have to!”

As he spoke, a cold and sharp killing aura pressed down on Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao couldn’t help but shiver.

Gu Yuan instructed Wu Tong, “Send him out.”

“…” Gu Xiao’s face darkened. He didn’t expect Gu Yuan to be so ruthless as to embarrass him in front of these noble young masters from the capital.

“Who dares!” Gu Xiao was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He slapped the wine table and shouted almost hysterically.

He puffed out his chest proudly. He didn’t believe that anyone would dare to chase him away!

Gu Xiao had completely forgotten that things were different now. This was no longer the Dingyuan Marquis Household from a month ago.

In the past, although Gu Xiao wasn’t appointed as the heir, he was the only legitimate son of the Marquis, Gu Jian. Everyone in the residence felt that it was only a matter of time before he became the heir. The servants’ respect for him far surpassed their respect for Gu Yuan.

And now, this manor was still surnamed Gu, but it was no longer the second branch’s world.

This residence was back in the hands of the eldest branch. Now, the owner of this residence was Gu Yuan.

At Gu Yuan’s order, a few guards of the Gu Mansion immediately came over when they heard the commotion. They looked down at Gu Xiao and reached out to invite him.

“Second Young Master Tang, please,” the guard captain said politely, using words to remind Gu Xiao that he was no longer the Second Young Master of this residence. The residence had already split up.

“…” Gu Xiao almost said that he was impudent. In the end, he bit the tip of his tongue.

Gu Xiao’s expression turned even worse. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot as he stared at Gu Yuan unhappily.

The guard captain urged again, “Please.”

“Ha!” Gu Xiao smiled, his thin lips crooked.

There was undisguised malice in his smile.

“Fine, I’ll leave!” Gu Xiao stood up and left with a flick of his sleeve. He gave Gu Yuan a sinister look and left with his head held high.

Until Gu Xiao walked out of the small garden, he could still hear laughter coming from the water pavilion behind.

It was obvious that they weren’t affected by Gu Xiao’s arrival or departure at all. They ate, drank, played, and cheered…

Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and only stopped for a moment before continuing to walk forward. Under the escort of a few guards of the Gu Mansion, he left through the west corner door of the residence.

THUMP!

The corner door closed heavily, making Gu Xiao’s heart tremble slightly.

This was clearly his home, but it had been snatched away by his eldest brother, Gu Yuan. Meanwhile, he had been chased out and rejected.

The muscles on Gu Xiao’s face tensed up, and there was a hint of grievance in his resentful expression. He gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce.

He got into his carriage and instructed the coachman, “Go to the North Town Bureau.”

The coachman was stunned. His expression changed slightly, but he agreed.

The horse whip lashed out, and the carriage sped away, going all the way to one of the most feared places in the capital.

The plaque of the “North Town Bureau” was hung high on the door. Just looking at it made one feel a bone-chilling cold. This place was like the gates of hell. Outside the door was the mortal world, and behind the door were the 18 levels of hell.

As soon as the two Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the door saw Gu Xiao, they stopped her.

“The North Town Bureau is an important place. Not just anyone can barge in!” One of the square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards looked down at Gu Xiao from the steps high in the air. He was expressionless, and his eyes were cold, as if he would pull his knife out of its sheath at the slightest disagreement, causing Gu Xiao’s blood to splatter on the spot.

Gu Xiao took a deep breath and puffed out his chest. He mustered his courage and said loudly, “I’m here to report something!”

“The son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Yuan, is harboring a criminal from the imperial court!”

His voice was quite loud, and he hoped that the people inside and on the streets could hear him.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards naturally knew who Gu Yuan was. They also knew that Gu Yuan had just been ordered by the Eldest Prince to be transferred from the imperial guard to the Commandant of the Capital. He will take up his post tomorrow morning.

It was obvious that the Eldest Prince wanted to entrust Gu Yuan with an important task.

The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards’ eyes flashed. They still had a straight face and questioned indifferently, “Who is he hiding?”

“A remnant of the Yu family.”

Gu Xiao said these words firmly..
