“Commander He, quickly order soone to search. Don’t let anyone escape!” Gu Xiao said anxiously.
The maidservants beside him couldn’t help but look nervous.
Many of them had also heard of the cry of a baby at night. They couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. Could it be that what Second Young Master said was true?
The air in the water pavilion beca a little stagnant.
“Battalion Commander Gu.” He Lie cupped his hands and said indifferently, “Your cousin reported it using his real na. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are also doing our duty.”
It ant that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had no intention of targeting the Gu family.
Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Xiao indifferently. His handso face was calm as he said to He Lie readily, “Then investigate.”
“However, there are two sisters and a widowed aunt in the residence. Please don’t alarm the won.”
He Lie naturally knew who Gu Yuan’s biological sister was. A smile appeared on his square face as he promised, “Don’t worry, Battalion Commander Gu. I won’t disturb the Second… the two ladies, and your aunt.”
He Lie originally wanted to say “Second Lady”, but he changed his words halfway.
“As you wish,” Gu Yuan said calmly. He then instructed Wu Tong to find a few stewards to lead the way for the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
He Lie only waved his hand casually, and the dozen or so Embroidered Uniform Guards accompanying him scattered. They were well-trained and divided into several groups to start searching the residence.
This matter instantly spread throughout the He Mansion. The servants, maidservants, and old won in the residence were all trembling in fear, their hearts in turmoil.
If the Embroidered Uniform Guards really found the remaining mbers of the Yu family, they would be harboring criminals ordered by the imperial court. The Gu family would probably not be able to avoid a miserable outco of raiding their hos and being exiled. As servants, they wouldn’t have a good ending either.
The entire residence was shrouded in a faint shadow.
The young masters in the water pavilion were still smiling.
Lu Shi didn’t stand on ceremony at all. He overtook the host and invited He Lie to sit down. He smiled and instructed soone to serve tea. At the sa ti, he teased Gu Yuan, “Ah Yuan, you’re not hiding a woman, right?”
Gu Yuan:”…”
“Sigh, with Ah Yuan’s insensitive personality?” Fan Beiran sighed and shook his head, echoing Lu Shi. “Have you forgotten? The last ti we went to listen to a song, the courtesan lady poured wine for him out of goodwill. He almost broke her arm!”
“He really doesn’t know how to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex!”
The few young masters who were watching the show didn’t mind the matter blowing up. They teased Gu Yuan one after another.
No one invited Gu Xiao to sit down, so he could only stand there in a daze and watch them drink, chat, and continue pitch-pot… The anger in his heart surged bit by bit.
There’s no hurry. In the future, Gu Yuan will cry! Gu Xiao composed himself and thought to himself. The corners of his mouth curled up again.
Fan Beiran drank another glass of wine. He looked like he was smiling, but he had been paying attention to Gu Xiao and felt a little uneasy. Gu Xiao had gone to the Embroidered Uniform Guards to report it. If it was confird that it was a false accusation, he would be flogged 50 tis and be conscripted into the army. Since Gu Xiao dared to do this, he probably set up so traps and had a backup plan.
Fan Beiran exchanged glances with Lu Shi and the others.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards searched for more than an hour before returning to the water pavilion in twos and threes to report.
“Commander.” Ni Zongqi, who was leading the team, cupped his fists at He Lie and reported, “We’ve already searched the entire residence and didn’t find anyone suspicious.”
It was impossible to dig three feet underground in an hour. The Embroidered Uniform Guards had only roughly searched and checked the mbers of the Gu family, but they didn’t find anything wrong.
The maidservants were relieved.
He Lie looked at Gu Xiao with a sharp and dangerous gaze. Gu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat under his gaze, and he quickly said, “Wait!”
“Commander He, I heard it again!” Gu Xiao quickly took a few steps towards the window on the west side of the water pavilion. His eyes were abnormally bright as he looked out of the window. “I heard a baby crying again.”
All the Embroidered Uniform Guards held their breaths.
Those young masters also subconsciously fell silent.
The water pavilion was silent.
“Wa! Wa…”
Amidst the rustling wind outside the window, there were a few baby cries. They only rang two or three tis intermittently.
After that, the crying stopped, leaving only the colorful flowers and trees in the garden swaying gently in the wind.
The surroundings were silent. The atmosphere was solemn and silent, and the air seed heavy.
“It’s there.” Gu Xiao raised his hand through the open window and pointed at a rockery opposite the pond. “The cry just now should have co from there..”
