My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Nothing special happened during the entire meal, so after seeing off the guests after the meal, Du Jingyi returned to Qiwu Courtyard.

After she coaxed the children to take a nap, when she returned to the main courtyard, Gu Shaoyu was already sitting there and had changed into more convenient clothes, returning to his previous appearance.

"General."

"came back?"

"Um."

The conversation between the couple couldn't be simpler, but when Du Jingyi came closer, he saw some dense information, all of which were recorded.

Then he asked something strange.

"What's this?"

"All the daily notes of the collateral relatives of the Gu family."

"The general wants to check the people in the seventh room?"

After hearing Du Jingyi's words, Gu Shaoyu raised his head and looked at her, then said with a somewhat proud smile.

"Madam is really smart as ice and snow. It's just that the people in the seventh room are dealt with last. Madam came over to see that there are a lot of problems in the third room."

After Du Jingyi sat down, he looked at it carefully. The thick pile was all about the situation of three-bedroom apartments. Compared with those top relatives who just want to take money and be happy, these people in the Gu family are obviously much smarter.

There are all kinds of people who are enclosing land in disguise, buying and selling private slaves, and falsifying accounts to evade taxes.

"Can't you see that someone from the third room has such ability?"

Du Jingyi admitted at this moment that she was a little underestimated. In her opinion, the seventh old master was much more difficult to deal with than the three old masters, but she did not expect that the accounting problems of these three old masters were much worse than his face.

"The people in the third room are not that smart. Speaking of which, my third uncle probably helped me."

Thinking of what the other party said at the table today, Gu Shaoyu couldn't help but chuckle. Sometimes he was really surprised. How come these people still haven't grown up their brains after so many years, and their understanding of themselves is always unclear. Inexplicable arrogance.

He wants to provoke but also pretends to be pretentious, how could he not see it?

"The third uncle of the Gu family is indeed very capable. I have dealt with him several times as Yan Zhiqing. I have never met him, but I can see that his methods are not weak. The general wants to suppress the third uncle. Fang, tell them to go to Uncle Santang for help? And then follow the clues?"

"That's not exactly what I meant."

Before Gu Shaoyu could continue to explain, he heard a sound from outside.

"General."

Du Jingyi felt something familiar when he heard the sound. When he turned around, he saw Liu Xun suddenly appeared behind him, so he shouted in surprise.

"Why are you here, Mr. Liu?"

"This subordinate has met the young lady."

Du Jingyi nodded in greeting. Naturally, he didn't think that Liu Xun's sudden appearance was to greet him, so he looked at the husband next to him. Could it be that he had some plans?

Sure enough, when Liu Xun appeared, Gu Shaoyu was much calmer than Du Jingyi, but there was also an imperceptible tension in his tone.

"Have you found it?"

"Found it."

This riddle between the master and the servant made Du Jingyi quite puzzled.

Check what? Could it be that my husband had started to attack the third wife before?

When she was about to hear what she found, she was so shocked by the next words that she couldn't say a word.

Liu Xun's face was extremely ugly, and he was even a little hesitant, but Gu Shaoyu didn't allow him to delay like this and asked directly.

"The skeleton is not my grandfather's? Is it?"

"yes."

Having said all that, Liu Xun could only tell the truth.

"After receiving the general's order, my subordinates led people to dig a tunnel underground and opened the coffin of the old marshal. After comparing the wounds on the left leg bone, they confirmed that the skeleton inside was not that of the old marshal. of."

"What??"

Du Jingyi was shocked. What do you mean the bones inside are not those of the old marshal?

In addition, why would his general let his subordinates dig his grandfather's grave? Or dig secretly?

Countless ideas popped into my head at once.

Could it be that Marshal Gu is not dead?

Compared to Du Jingyi's shock, Gu Shaoyu next to him was much calmer, but there was also some suppressed anger under this calmness. Then he saw him ask a question, and his tone had become serious.

"Have you found out where my grandfather's bones are now?"

"Nothing about this yet. The people in the seventh room have hidden it very well. If it hadn't been for the general's accidental discovery, I'm afraid no one in the world would have investigated it."

"Continue to investigate, and look into Uncle Santang's contacts with the Nanyang people. Maybe he has something to do with them."

"Yes, I understand."

After saying this, Liu Xun disappeared into the house like the wind, and Du Jingyi swallowed his saliva, and then said anxiously.

"General, what happened? Why did you suddenly dig up my grandfather's coffin?"

Gu Shaoyu adjusted his breath in silence, and after he had completely calmed down, he looked at Du Jingyi, with both hatred and sadness in his eyes, and then he told his plans for these days one by one.

"Do you still remember the day when your grandmother was buried and the grave was opened?"

"Remember."

"When my three uncles and the others were making a fuss about not allowing the coffins to be buried together, I was wondering if there might be something we couldn't see after opening the coffins, so that was why they were so obstructive. So that day I carefully Read it carefully."

"I was there when my grandfather was buried. I buried the coffin myself. At that time, I placed Cezhou's unique black stones and colorful sand in front of the coffin. I originally wanted to let my grandfather rest in peace, but it was dug up that day. At that time, I didn’t see these two things, so I knew that someone must have touched my grandfather’s tomb.”

As Gu Shaoyu said this, Du Jingyi was frightened.

What good would it do them to disturb the grave of the dead Marshal Gu?

"But at that time, everyone was waiting for the auspicious time to bury my grandmother, so I just pretended that nothing happened. Then I asked Ni Yang to send news to Liu Xun and let him investigate secretly."

"But didn't the general say that the hidden stakes left by my grandfather should be thoroughly investigated? Why didn't they be used?"

Du Jingyi's words hit the nail on the head. Gu Shaoyu gently touched her hair and continued.

"If you were Uncle Qitang and had been operating in Jinling City for so many years, wouldn't you be able to find the existence of hidden piles? If you couldn't find them, what would be the best way?"

"Lead the snake out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop."

Gu Shaoyu nodded, Du Jingyi's words were very correct, and then he went through the people on the list in his mind before continuing.

"So, instead of letting him find out the hidden forces behind it by beating me, I should pretend to be a fool and show him the power of Liu Xun first, so that he can focus on the open road to deal with it. Let’s talk about my power.”

I have something to do today, so I can only update twice. I will make up for what I owe you tomorrow~~Sorry, sorry~~
