Seeing Ruyi in Gu Yunji's hand, everyone showed surprise on their faces, and Cheng Yan was a little unresponsive.

"……As one wishes?"

After seeing clearly the objects that Gu Yunji was holding up high, Gu Mingan's slack eyes suddenly became brighter, like a fish on the verge of dying of thirst receiving life-saving living water, his whole body was sweating profusely, and finally healed from despair.

"How could it be with you? Gu Yunji! You stole it!"

However, the initial fear faded away, and Gu Mingan quickly forgot how frightened he was just now, and an anger of being tricked surged up in his heart, and he wanted to bite back on the spot without changing his mind, but his mind was not very clear yet, saying Talking upside down, I didn't realize how unreasonable the logic was.

Gu Yunji almost laughed out of anger: "Gu Ming'an, can you be reasonable? The feeling is that I stole Ruyi in advance, and then pretended to be so early in the morning. I watched you frame Cheng Yan and smear his reputation, and make things worse little by little. Just to take things out at this moment, so that you're the biggest idiot in the world?"

Hearing the low laughter of the maids and servants around him, Gu Mingan finally realized how absurd his words were, his face turned red and then white, white and then red again, his expression was very wonderful.

I was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Ming'an, and after showing Ruyi clearly in front of everyone, Gu Yunji carefully put it back into the brocade box, then held it in front of Gu Zhengde with both hands, and said respectfully: "I also ask my grandfather to check whether this is an imperial gift. Agarwood inlaid with jade as you wish."

After taking a deep look at Gu Yunji, Gu Zhengde stretched out his hand to pick up Ruyi: "The hand is smooth and warm to the touch, and there are small characters engraved on the bottom... Well, it is indeed a gift from the emperor. Why is it with you?"

Gu Yunji's expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "Back to grandfather, Gu Mingan secretly put Ruyi in Cheng Yan's room last night when Cheng Yan was away, and I happened to see it. Although I don't understand his intentions, I also know that this thing is precious. , I thought about putting it away first, and handing it over to Fourth Uncle early this morning, but it will be too late in the future."

It was obvious that Gu Yunji had seen Gu Mingan's abnormal behavior these past few days, and was worried that he would be bad for Cheng Yan, so he was always watching his every move.In order not to scare the snake away, Gu Yunji secretly took the things out of Cheng Yan's room without telling anyone.

Gu Kaiqi only agreed yesterday that he would persuade Gu Zhengde to recruit Cheng Yan. Gu Yunji didn't want anything to go wrong in the process, and originally planned to wait two days to tell Gu Kaiqi and let him handle the matter, so as to minimize the impact.

Who would have thought that Gu Mingan could not restrain himself so much, he just hid something last night, and he challenged Cheng Yan early this morning, Gu Yunji didn't expect it, and knew that Ruyi was a gift from the emperor, there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to Taking advantage of the trend, they searched Cheng Yan's house and took out the things after the search was fruitless.

Although this had some impact on Cheng Yan's reputation, Gu Ming'an was even more uncomfortable. He said so convincingly that Cheng Yan stole something, and now not only did he not find the dirt, he was exposed in public by Gu Yunji that he wanted to frame Cheng Yan. Yan's intentions, the dramatic reversal at the moment was like two slaps in the face, resoundingly falling on his face.

Gu Mingan became furious, and hastily retorted: "Gu Yunji, you are talking nonsense! I, I didn't sneak Ruyi into Cheng Yan's room. It was clear that you stole something beforehand and found out that you couldn't hide it before you took it out yourself. You framed me!"

"Oh? Really?" Gu Yunji gave him a cold look, "If you didn't deliberately frame Cheng Yan, why would you be so sure that he stole something, and you still have to search his house? Even if you are so good-looking Man, when you heard me say that if the search was fruitless, you would apologize to Cheng Yan in public, did you agree without hesitation?"

Gu Mingan choked for a moment, and he lacked confidence when he spoke: "...I, I was misled. I had a relationship with Cheng Yan before, and now I lost something. Isn't it normal to think of him the first time? It just happened Just suspect him."

"There were more than a dozen people present yesterday. Cousin Ming'an just happened to suspect Cheng Yan, and then just happened to suspect that he hid things in the room, and just happened to suspect that Ruyi was in the hidden box next to the bed. The suspicion was so precise, Ming Antang Brother's 'just right', it's really good—"

With sarcasm in his eyes, Gu Yunji looked at him with a half-smile: "Speaking of which, even I didn't know that the Gu family's bed has a hidden compartment that can accommodate a box. The hidden compartment is so secretive that I usually don't realize it. Cheng Yan's observation skills are so keen, did he figure out the layout of the Gu family's utensils so quickly?"

Cheng Yan beside him gave a soft laugh, and said at the right time: "That's not enough. Cheng Yan is dull, since he moved in, he only knows how to sleep and rest. The familiarity of things is naturally not as good as that of Second Young Master Gu who has lived in the mansion for more than 20 years."

Seeing that Gu Ming'an's face had turned from red to green, and he was left speechless when asked, Gu Yunji felt relieved, and leisurely made up the knife: "If you really count it, cousin Ming'an, your plan is considered meticulous, it's a pity that people You're a bit careless, when you ran to Cheng Yan's room to hide Ruyi last night, didn't you find me standing in the corridor far away, seeing your movements clearly?"

"Cousin Ming An, you must be careful in this year's provincial examination, and don't be so careless—"

"Gu Yunji!" The expression on Gu Ming'an's face could no longer hold back, his whole body was shaking with anger, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "You little bastard from the countryside, how dare you..."

As soon as the word "bastard" was uttered, Gu Zhengde's eyes suddenly darkened, and the momentum around him instantly sank.

"Gu Ming'an, you are presumptuous! Even now, you still haven't admitted your mistake!"

Seeing that Gu Mingan dared to trample on Gu Yunji's bastard background in front of Gu Zhengde, Gu Kaiqi was startled and angry, and immediately kicked his knee, forcing him to kneel down.

Gu Mingan snorted, and angrily gouged out Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan's eyes, but finally lowered his head unwillingly, and said in a low voice, "Gu Mingan knows his mistake, please punish him, grandfather."

Seeing Gu Mingan's reluctance, Gu Zhengde's face darkened a little bit, and he said coldly: "Since you know your mistake, then go kneel in the ancestral hall, copy the family motto while kneeling, and don't get up without my permission! "

"Wait." Gu Yunji had a bad feeling, stepped forward to stop the crowd, and turned to look at Gu Zhengde, "Grandfather, we agreed before that if nothing is found in Cheng Yan's room, Gu Ming'an will have to report to you." He apologized in public and pasted the letter of apology on the outside wall of the school for three days."

"—Now, is it time for him to fulfill his promise?"
