Xiao Yanlin's acumen was beyond Gu Baiyu's imagination.

In other words, from a very early stage, Gu Baiyu vaguely felt that Xiao Yanlin should have noticed something, but he didn't say it explicitly.

Gu Baiyu's guess was indeed right.

Xiao Yanlin chooses to tolerate many things about Gu Baiyu, if Gu Baiyu is willing to speak, he will be the best listener, but if Gu Baiyu is unwilling, he will not force it in the past.

It's just that now, when he realized that this matter might have caused a lot of trouble to Gu Baiyu, Xiao Yanlin chose to ask directly.

Gu Baiyu faced Xiao Yanlin's inquiry, and her heart was very entangled.

Should she be straight?

But if he says it, will Xiao Yanlin believe it?

If Xiao Yanlin asked her why she was not a prophet, how would she answer?

When she hesitated, Xiao Yanlin didn't speak, just waited silently.

Until the tangled emotions on Gu Baiyu's face subsided, and he sat up straight as if he had made up his mind, Xiao Yanlin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just be willing to say it.

I'm afraid that Gu Baiyu won't say anything, bury everything in his heart, and bear everything silently.

And Gu Baiyu looked at Xiao Yanlin with a calm and calm gaze from beginning to end, and finally spoke slowly......

"I'm worried about my daddy."

Xiao Yanlin frowned slightly: "I have already sent someone to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the accident that happened to you will definitely not happen a second time." ”

Gu Baiyu shook his head slowly: "No, it's not this." ”

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yanlin fixedly: "I think that the second prince may fight back from other things." ”

Gu Baiyu was thinking about how to say that Prime Minister Gu might be framed, and it was related to the matter of greedy ink and bribery.

Wouldn't it be too exaggerated to say that it was so specific?

But Xiao Yanlin just maintained his previous posture and said softly: "Yu'er has any guesses, you might as well say it boldly, and you can be on guard in advance if it's right or wrong." ”

Gu Baiyu finally relented: "I think that the Hou Ye used the Northwest Ink Greed to force the second prince into such a desperate situation, is it possible...... The second prince, will he use his own way to govern others? ”

Xiao Yanlin's eyes darkened, "You mean that someone may slander your father-in-law?" ”

Gu Baiyu was a little embarrassed: "It could also be your ......"

But Xiao Yanlin directly ignored the latter sentence, and he didn't know if he had already made a decision in his heart or didn't hear it clearly.

"If it involves a father-in-law, you have to be careful."

Prime Minister Gu Cheng is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he goes through it every day from his hands, and I don't know how many things need to be dealt with, so naturally many things involve the chain of interests, and if you can't keep it together, there will be any mistakes.

Xiao Yanlin pondered a little and asked, "Does Madam have any specific conjectures?" What could it be? ”

This really asked Gu Baiyu.

No matter how she recalls the events of her previous life, she can only remember a few sporadic ones.

Gu Baiyu closed his eyes and tried to think about it, wanting to see if there were any other clues......

Maybe Gu Baiyu was thinking too seriously, and a memory was really confused in his mind.

At that time, she was already very sick, Xiao Yanlin was fighting outside all the year round, Gu Ruan Ruan was almost the default hostess of this back house, and the subordinates didn't take Gu Baiyu seriously at all, and they were almost unscrupulous in front of her.

Gu Baiyu vaguely remembered that one day, after the next person brought the decoction, he watched her take the bowl and leave after drinking, and the two little maids began to talk about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion before they had gone far, and they were not afraid of being heard by Gu Baiyu.

Gu Baiyu did hear some.

It seems to be the exclamation of one of the little maids—

"So much gold?" "yes, yes, but...... It's not surprising that you've been greedy for so much gold for so many years......"

Gu Baiyu already knew at that time that something happened to Prime Minister Gu Cheng because of money, but he didn't know what the specific matter was, and the Hou Mansion was given a gag order, and no one was willing to tell Gu Baiyu;

And Prime Minister Gu did not say anything specific until his daughter was unable to protect herself.

Now that I think about it, the two messages revealed in these two sentences are very important -

The bribes were in gold, and the amount was shocking;

Also, what exactly does the phrase "so many years" mean?

Did the person who exposed Prime Minister Gu point out that Prime Minister Gu offered bribes and arranged it once, or was it something else?

Gu Baiyu's mind was very confused, and in Xiao Yanlin's gaze, he said stubbornly: "If I am the second prince, if I want to do this kind of thing, there will definitely be a big one, it is best to attract people's attention, it is best to shock, and it is best to completely subvert the image of my father who has been honest for many years......"

Gu Baiyu really couldn't think of what to say, so he could only try to guide him in the direction he remembered.

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Yanlin seemed to be contemplative.

Gu Baiyu sighed, and thought to himself, why don't you just say it......

"I asked people to check on the suspicious people around my father-in-law, preferably for many years, and then send someone to send a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take stock of the property in the mansion, preferably silver taels and gold and the like."

Gu Baiyu raised his head sharply and looked at Xiao Yanlin with wide eyes.

He could have guessed this from her words?!

It's almost tied to what she wants to say!

Xiao Yanlin saw Gu Baiyu staring at him with wide eyes, felt that she was a little cute, and said, "What's the matter, is it the wrong direction I guessed?" ”

"No, no......" Gu Baiyu stammered and replied, "Master Hou's idea is very good." ”

Not to mention that she guessed correctly, it was simply a roundworm in her stomach!

Gu Baiyu once again had a new understanding of Xiao Yanlin's understanding of himself, and was once again impressed by Xiao Yanlin's intelligence.

Xiao Yanlin is really amazing!

Xiao Yanlin looked at Gu Baiyu's reaction, and knew that Gu Baiyu didn't say everything he knew, but he should have guessed eight or nine.

Xiao Yanlin is not angry, what is there to be angry about, his understanding of his lover and his lover's thoughts are also a manifestation of love.

He reached out and touched Gu Baiyu's cheek, and raised her chin a little funny: "Close your mouth, I'll deal with what you say, you just have a good rest at home." ”

This matter is very important, Xiao Yanlin decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person.

Xiao Yanlin went out alone, went directly to find Prime Minister Gu, and went over the wall to get in, without anyone finding out.

Prime Minister Gu was originally reading, but was taken aback by Xiao Yanlin, and after learning his intention, Prime Minister Gu got up: "You sit down first, I have something to hand over to you." ”

After a while, Prime Minister Gu Cheng came out with two booklets.

"Look at it, there are people who have a relationship with me in this book, and what they give, what I receive, and what I ask for are all clearly written."

Xiao Yanlin took the booklet, read a few pages, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

This record is very detailed, and the people involved write it clearly, most of them came with huge sums of money or money, and Prime Minister Gu basically confiscated them;

Later, there were some things that did not involve interests, but even if they only received a stack of rice paper from their former protégés, they were clearly recorded inside, and even marked how much these things were worth according to the prices at the time, and how to deal with them later.

It can be said that it is so detailed that Xiao Yanlin is surprised.

"Father-in-law is really cautious."

Prime Minister Gu waved his hand: "I am in a high position, so I should have been cautious in everything. By the way, the rest of the book has friendships but no favors or money exchanges, most of them are colleagues, you can take a look at it too. ”

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "With these two books, it will be much easier for me to prevent them here." ”

Prime Minister Gu didn't ask the dignified Xiao Yanlin why he was wary of these things, but said: "I've worked hard for you, I won't leave you to eat, go take care of Yu'er, if my affairs are unnecessary, don't tell her, don't let her worry." ”

Xiao Yanlin thought for a while, then said goodbye and left.

He didn't tell Prime Minister Gu that this matter was first mentioned by Gu Baiyu, after all, this kind of thing, he, who is active in the court, is alert, and it can be said that he has his own news channels;

But it's very weird to change to a woman in the inner house who doesn't go out of the second door.

Besides, neither father nor daughter wants to worry about each other, so he will take care of this matter with full authority.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanlin called Gu Baiyu to read the two booklets together.
