As a result, within a few days, people outside were heard talking about how his cousin Gu Xunzhou had defiled a girl's innocence after getting drunk. When the Ji family learned about this, they were furious and immediately decided to cancel the marriage.

Gu Xunzhou was also forced to marry the girl.

After that, my cousin's reputation was completely ruined, and he was even severely reprimanded by the emperor and demoted.

In her previous life, she naturally guessed that Gu must be behind this matter, but she really couldn't understand why Gu would be so cruel to his own nephew?

Now think about it carefully, if there is no one in the General's Mansion who can support the family, then wouldn't Gu's two sons be able to justifiably occupy all the resources of the General's Mansion?

To be honest, she really couldn't understand why Gu was so cruel to her own family. Did she really think that the Marquis' Mansion could be her lifelong support?

Thinking of this, she was really angry.

"Qiutang, what's going on in Lanyuan Street?"

The mother and daughter each gave them a big gift.

"Miss, that person is incredible." When Qiutang heard the young lady's question, her eyes immediately lit up and she began to talk in detail about the news she had heard.

"It is said that she was once a daughter of an official, born as beautiful as a flower. Unfortunately, her family got into trouble and was exiled. I wonder what method Master Meng used to save her."

Muzi spent a lot of money to get this information from the yamen runners. Qiutang also went to see her secretly. Even though she had given birth to a child, her figure was still very seductive. No wonder Lord Meng treated her so pampered.

Gu Fanchu looked at the excited little girl helplessly and shook his head. She was so naive.

Qiutang continued, "I asked other families in that alley, and they said this family has two children, a boy and a girl. The girl is eleven years old, and the son is five years old."

"There are many maids and servants serving in the courtyard, as well as guards. It's no different from any other wealthy family. They are dressed in luxurious clothes. Master Meng basically goes there every three to five days, and his visits are very frequent."

"But the people around here don't know Mr. Meng, or they haven't seen his face, so he hasn't been exposed."

Gu Fanchu picked up the pear paste handed to him by Baili, took a sip, and his throat felt much better.

A concubine lives such a luxurious life. It seems that Meng Qingwen has received a lot from Gu Ruyue. I just don't know if she has any other property in private.

"Tell Muzi to prepare and send someone with strong skills to set a fire there when Meng Qingwen passes by. Don't let anyone find out."

Qiutang looked at her young lady in surprise, not knowing what she was going to do.

Gu Fanchu saw her doubts and continued, "When the time comes, call more people to watch so that everyone can see Master Meng's face clearly."

She wanted to see if Gu Ruyue could still remain calm when she found out that her husband had a mistress outside.

Qiutang realized that the young lady was going to make Meng Qingwen's affairs public, and immediately responded, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Gu Fanchu called Liuyun in again and instructed him, "Help me find someone, I think his name is Ma Danian. After you find him, take him to find a place to hide. I will ask him something later."

Liuyun didn't understand the new master's thoughts and intentions, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just took the order and left.

Next, Gu Fanchu just needs to wait.

After another day of rest, Gu Fanchu went to check his grandfather's pulse and found that the poison in his body was slowly being eliminated, so he felt relieved.

As long as my grandfather is here, the general's mansion will have confidence, and everything will be solved easily.

News also came from Muzi that Meng Qingwen went to Lanyuan Street again and brought two young women in simple clothes.

Manager Xue personally wrote a letter and handed it to Gu Fanchu, which contained the basic information of the two women and what they had done, and also attached the indentures of the two women.

"This is?"

Gu Fanchu was puzzled. Wasn't it just a lease? Why was there a contract of sale?

"Miss, Manager Xue said these two women were newly sent secret guards from Moqi Pavilion. They haven't been on a mission yet. When the owner of Moqi Pavilion sent them over, he also sent their indentures, saying that he was selling these two to us."

Muzi was also very puzzled, but since Manager Xue later accepted the two of them, there shouldn't be any problem.

Gu Fanchu was puzzled. What did Moqi Pavilion mean? Why did they sell him out?

Could it be that he had some ulterior motive? Thinking of this possibility, Gu Fanchu felt a slight chill down his spine. Could it be that the people from Moqi Pavilion knew it was him?

So what is their intention?

"Who is the master behind you?" She looked at the two women with good looks coldly, full of vigilance.

The two women looked at each other and immediately knelt down, but did not answer.

"Since you don't tell me, I absolutely won't dare to keep you. Go back to where you came from." She would never keep someone of unknown origin around her.

Seeing that they were about to be driven away, the two hurriedly spoke: "Miss Gu, we are not bad people, and we have no ill intentions. We are simply here to protect you."

Since the master has spoken, they are Gu Fanchu's people. If they are sent back, it will be considered that the mission has not been completed.

"I said, I don't want people with unknown origins."

Gu Fanchu's tone was cold.

Seeing her firm attitude, the woman kneeling on the right took out a note from her bosom and handed it to her. She couldn't help but admire her master's foresight. She knew that Miss Gu was cautious and would definitely not accept them both casually, so she made preparations.

When Gu Fanchu opened the note, he saw the man's flamboyant handwriting on it, and felt a little strange.

After seeing the contents clearly, her face showed a subtle expression, puzzled and incomprehensible, but she still relaxed:

"In that case, you will stay with me from now on! However, I must make it clear that no matter who you followed before, since you are already my people, you will follow my orders from now on. If I discover that you have second thoughts, I will send you back."

Seeing Gu Fanchu let go, they both breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, "Yes, Miss."

"What are your names?"

Gu Fanchu had a headache, but she really needed someone around her at the moment. Anyway, she had already sent the banknotes over, so the transaction was complete.

"Please give us a name, Miss." The two of them were specially trained, and their names were randomly chosen by the training camp. They can only be renamed when their new owners accept them.

Gu Fanchu seemed to have thought of this as well, and a trace of pity appeared in his heart. "In that case, from now on, you can call yourself Amber and Liuli. I'll let Baili arrange things for you. When I go out in the future, you stay by my side."
