Chapter 20 A knife hidden in a smile
"Someone must have done something without mother's knowledge." Liu looked at Ye Shu who didn't say anything, her eyes seemed a little moist, and she hurriedly continued.

Listening to Liu's words, Ye Shu quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. In this case, let's start investigating thoroughly."

"it is good."

Ye Shu was worried about what had happened in the Ye Mansion, so he thought about staying here for a few days and then going back after things were resolved.

Ye Shu didn't know when it happened, but she felt someone coming onto the bed while she was sleeping.

In a sleepy state, I realized that it was Gu Xun who came back.

"came back."

"Yeah." Gu Xun replied lightly.

"Is it done?"

Seeing that Ye Shu was so concerned about this matter, Gu Xun couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Don't worry, Shu'er, go to sleep, I'll tell you in detail tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ye Shu responded, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Gu Xun glanced at his wife and daughter on the bed. The two, one big and one small, were sleeping soundly. He did not get into the bed, but just went forward to help and covered them with the quilt.

Gu Xun turned around and went to the couch beside him and simply lay down.

Leading troops to fight, sleeping in the open air, Gu Xun has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

He hired a painter to paint Liu Erniu's appearance based on his father-in-law's dictation. Although it was not exactly the same, it was about 70% similar.

As a general, he naturally has secret guards and personal soldiers under him. As long as Li Erniu is in Anjing City, he will definitely be caught!
Early in the morning, Ye Mu and Gu Xun went to the morning court together. Both of them were very quiet, for fear of waking up their wives.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Ye Mu took out a box from his arms.

"This is the letter Li Erniu wrote when he came to the mansion a few years ago."

Ye Mu had been an official for many years and was very cautious. He had the habit of keeping records of everything, especially letters.

Gu Xun opened it and took a look, and found that in addition to the letters between Liu Erniu and Li Erniu, there were also receipts of the silver given by his father-in-law to Li Erniu every year, and even an agreement signed between his father-in-law and Li Erniu when he adopted Ye Zhi.

After Gu Xun finished reading it, he closed it and said, "Father-in-law, with this letter, when we catch Li Erniu, we can make him confess."

Outside the court, ministers arrived one after another. Although the time had not yet come, they could not be careless about attending court and must not be late.

The news of Ye Zhi's incident yesterday quickly reached the ears of many ministers. Especially when they saw Ye Mu and Gu Xun coming, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Have you heard?"

"Of course. This sister-in-law actually wants to kill her own daughter. This is the first time I've seen this."

"How deep is the hatred? Did he do something to offend his sister-in-law?"

"Oh my God! How is this possible!"

"I've heard that the general loves his wife so much, how could it be possible that..."

"There is no such thing as deep love between husband and wife. The general has been fighting outside for many years and has only rested for the past two years. When he saw such a young and beautiful sister-in-law, it was natural..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know what Minister Ye is thinking. His little daughter was bullied by his son-in-law and was sent to the Dali Temple, but he still had to endure the pain and please his son-in-law!"

The words were spoken in such a low voice, but for a general like Gu Xun who had been fighting for many years, he could not miss any movement during the battle, so he naturally heard every word of these words clearly.

Gu Xun clenched his fists. He had no idea that these ministers could come up with such nonsense. It was true that three people can make a tiger. He had finally seen it!
Just as Gu Xun was about to speak out to stop him, Ye Mu beside him patted him on the shoulder.

When Gu Xun turned his head, he saw Ye Mu shaking his head.

It turned out that my father-in-law could hear it, too. Of course, all the ministers were gathered together, and everything was quiet, so how could these words not be heard? "I think you guys are tired of living!"

There was an obvious smile in these words, and it seemed like a joke, but it made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

"The eldest prince!"

The ministers saluted hurriedly.

"You and I both need to attend court, so just treat me as a small official in the Ministry of Justice."

The eldest prince has always been gentle to others, and all the officials are very satisfied with him.

Just think about it: how can a leader who is high up in the world, not only has no temper but is also very friendly to his subordinates not be liked by them?

"Thank you, Your Highness."

His Majesty now has only two sons. The eldest prince is born to the imperial concubine, and the second prince is born to the queen. He was named crown prince just a few months after he was born.

The eldest prince Xiao Jingyi is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice. Although his rank is not high enough to attend the court, he is a prince after all, and the emperor has specially allowed him to attend the court to learn about government affairs. Although the prince is only twelve years old now and does not have a part-time job, it is natural that he attends the court to facilitate future government affairs.

Xiao Jingyi asked the officials on the side to stand up, but the officials who had been gossiping just now did not dare to stand up.

Although the eldest prince is kind to others, he has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. Although the eldest prince's words just now seemed to be a joke, the majesty of the royal family must not be violated.

"Why, you can't get up? Is it because my words are useless?" Xiao Jingyi's lips curled up slightly, as if he was laughing, "Don't you think your mouths are dirty too?"

"No, no!" The ministers kowtowed hurriedly. They didn't know whether to stand up or kneel down.

"Don't let me hear a word you say again." Xiao Jing flicked his sleeves and turned to walk towards Ye Mu and Gu Xun.

Only after seeing the eldest prince leave did the ministers dare to stand up. Looking at the sweat on the other party's forehead, they covered their mouths tightly and dared not even say a word.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Ye Mu and Gu Xun bowed slightly.

"Lord Ye and General Gu, don't take it to heart." Xiao Jing smiled as if a spring breeze had not been instilled in him, as if he was not the one who had just said those words.

If it was before, Gu Xun would naturally be extremely grateful to Xiao Jing. After all, the eldest prince had stopped what had just happened. To outsiders, this was the eldest prince supporting the General's Mansion and the Minister of Revenue!

But now that he had heard Gu Jiangmeng's inner voice, Gu Xun knew that the eldest prince wanted to frame Gu Hengyu, and he wanted to play the role of a good person and save Gu Hengyu. On the one hand, he could make friends with the General's Mansion, and on the other hand, he could alienate the General's Mansion from the emperor.

It seems that he has good relations with the General's Mansion on the surface, but he has done a lot of things behind the scenes, and even caused the Gu family to end up...

This move is really powerful.

Smiling but hiding a dagger, speaking sweet words but with a sharp tongue, double-dealing...

Gu Xun came up with several idioms to describe Xiao Jingyi in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Mu stepped forward to express his gratitude.

Gu Xun had no choice but to follow his father-in-law in expressing his gratitude.

After all, the father-in-law cannot hear Jiang Meng's thoughts, so naturally he doesn't know what kind of person Xiao Jingyi is.

"Not worth mentioning." Xiao Jingyi waved his hand modestly.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Prince has arrived!"

Following the eunuch's shouts, everyone quickly stood up, got into position, and walked into the hall one after another.
