Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Seeing Gu Kaiqi's body crumbling, Gu Yunji was startled, and hurried forward to support him: "Fourth Uncle, are you alright?"

"...It's okay." Gu Kaiqi replied weakly, holding his hand and slowly propping up his body, it took him a while to recover.

Gu Kaiqi was congenitally deficient, relying on the Gu family's rare tonics for so many years to nourish his body bit by bit, he grew up smoothly.It's just that his foundation is weak, and he is not as strong as others after all, and he will get sick every now and then.

Gu Mingan was afraid that he would get angry at him, so he quickly comforted him: "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, I didn't tell others that this is a gift from the imperial court. If the matter cannot be spread, the consequences will not be as serious as you imagined."

"We have analyzed it just now. I left Ruyi in the school last night, and it disappeared this morning. If someone from the foreign government wants to steal it, they have to take a very high risk. It is very likely that it was done by a house thief. Short Overnight, the thief must have no time to sell it, and the things should still be in the mansion at this time."

"As long as we search the mansion carefully, we will find it soon." As he said that, Gu Mingan glanced at Cheng Yan intentionally or unintentionally, "Gu Yunji was the only one who was present yesterday and knew about it, except for those in the second room. Suspicion with Cheng Yan. How about...start with Cheng Yan?"

Gu Kaiqi's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he didn't speak for a while.

Before, he thought that what Gu Mingan had lost was some worthless little thing, so he lost it if he thought about it, it wasn't worth searching around in a big way, it made an embarrassing scene, and spreading the word would not be good for the Gu family's reputation.

But now that what is lost is the imperial gift, Gu Kaiqi can't sit idly by, no matter what, he has to find the thing.Although Gu Mingan's intentions against Cheng Yan were too obvious, his words were not completely unreasonable. His family was poor and he had a problem with Gu Mingan. After careful consideration, Cheng Yan was indeed the most suspected person.

"Alright then." Gu Kaiqi remained silent for a while, then sighed as if making up his mind, and looked at Cheng Yan apologetically, "Young Master Cheng, the situation is special, I really have to wrong you first."

"Fourth Uncle." Gu Yunji said slowly and clearly with a difficult voice, "You have to think carefully."

Ever since Gu Mingan came to the school with Ruyi, Gu Yunji had sensed that something was wrong, and the other party's behavior was particularly abnormal today, overtly and secretly trying to draw the trouble to Cheng Yan. If he didn't set a trap to plant Cheng Yan, Gu Yunji was right. Do not believe.

Gu Yunji originally thought that Gu Kaiqi was an upright person, and in the conflicts between himself and Gu Mingan, he never favored the other party. This time, he should also warn and reprimand Gu Mingan as before, and finally whitewash the peace and confuse the matter. .Although it was mixed with mud, it would have the least adverse effect on Cheng Yan, and it was indeed a better solution.

However, he never thought that the ruyi handle was actually a treasure bestowed to Gu Mingxuan by the late emperor. If the imperial bestowment was lost, Gu Kaiqi would definitely not turn it into a trivial matter.

Of course, it may be that Gu Ming'an had expected early on that he would move the rescuers, so he deliberately entered the game with the agarwood inlaid jade bestowed by the emperor, in order to attract the attention of Gu's parents and seniors, and prevent them from lightly dismissing the matter because they wanted to preserve their reputation and face. uncovered.

Once the search starts, the momentum will be huge, and it is impossible to conduct it in a low-key manner without anyone noticing, not to mention that the children of the aristocratic family at the school are all insiders, no matter how you look at it, Cheng Yan's reputation will be affected.

Although Gu Yunji was sure that they couldn't find any results in Cheng Yan's house, the development of the situation has exceeded his expectations.

"Yun Ji, I've thought it through very clearly."

Gu Kaiqi took a deep look at him: "That ruyi is a gift from the imperial court. This matter has a lot to do with it. It is no longer a personal dispute between you. Now finding the thing as soon as possible is the top priority. Focus on the overall situation—”

The words sounded like exhortations and warnings, and as the voice fell, Gu Yunji saw the blood on Cheng Yan's face fade away little by little, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of boredom in his heart, and unconsciously tightened the fingers hanging by his side slowly, pinching them tightly whitish.

"Yes, Cousin Yunji, you are a child of my Gu family, and you must put the overall situation first." Gu Mingan was very proud, and pretended to comfort him, "The sooner the search is completed, the sooner Cheng Yan can be cleared, don't you think it's four uncle?"

"Shut up!" Gu Kaiqi's face changed, his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to cut Gu Ming'an on the spot, "In the final analysis, today's disaster was caused by you, and I didn't even have time to ask your guilt. Still taking the initiative to fight the fire? An Fen just stay aside!"

Gu Kaiqi is not a fool, Gu Mingan asked so actively to search Cheng Yan's room, there must be a ghost in it, maybe he has hidden Ruyi in advance, and plans to plant Cheng Yan when the time comes.It's just that now that he doesn't know Ruyi's whereabouts, Gu Kaiqi can only do what he wants first, and take a step to see.

After being scolded by Gu Kaiqi, Gu Mingan didn't dare to go forward to provoke him, and obediently shut his mouth.

After scolding Gu Ming'an, Gu Kaiqi calmed down again, looked at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan and said, "Don't worry, I will bring a few stern-mouthed ones to search and try to disturb as few people as possible. When the search is over, if there is nothing, I will definitely Give you an explanation."

Gu Yunji frowned in his heart; explain?What can I explain?One is a blood-related nephew, and the other is an outsider who has nothing to do with it. Even if Cheng Yan can be proved innocent at that time, can Gu Kaiqi be expected to help his relatives and harm his own interests to protect an outsider? reputation?
Since it is inevitable to search the room, he must at least secure a guarantee for Cheng Yan.

"Fourth Uncle, since we want to search, why don't we make an agreement from the beginning."

Gu Yunji's voice was clear and bright, and he looked into Gu Kaiqi's eyes firmly: "If Ruyi is really found in Cheng Yan's room, then we naturally have nothing to say, and we can deal with it as we please. If nothing is found... "

"Then Gu Ming'an has to apologize to Cheng Yan in public, and write an apology letter in written form, and post it on the outer wall of the school for three days, so that everyone who knows the truth understands that Cheng Yan was wronged, so that he can truly be repaid. Innocent—I wonder if Fourth Uncle agrees?"

Apologizing in public, and posting the letter of apology on the wall of the school for children from other aristocratic families to stop and watch, this is more uncomfortable than killing Gu Ming'an.This is not only trampling on Gu Ming'an's face, but also trampling on the face of the entire Gu family.

Gu Kaiqi was hesitant, and before he could respond, he heard Gu Mingan beside him shout out, "Okay! I agree!"

Gu Mingan's eyes were bright, and his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation: "Just do what you say. But if the dirt is found..."

As he spoke, the corner of his mouth curved into a sarcasm, "Then he will be accused of stealing, and Cheng Yan will be turned over to the government, and he will be sent to jail!"
