Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Let’s Do It This Way!

But Marquis Gu only cared about laughing at Young Master Nantang.

That strange feeling surged up again in his heart.

Princess Fuyun looked at Prince Qi, who was watching the drama unfold, wanting to speak but hesitated; this was not the right time to talk about it.

Suddenly she realized, even if the Gu siblings were momentarily hot-headed and didn’t think of this place,

would her brother be oblivious?

What does brother intend to do?

Meeting his sister’s gaze, Prince Qi smiled easily and replied, "Little Nine sent someone to search for Prince Jin, but he still can’t be found. Who knows if he’s caught up in something urgent and important."

The emphasis on the word "important" was heavy.

Princess Fuyun inexplicably understood the deep intention in her brother’s eyes.

Tonight, is Prince Jin destined not to come?

Brother and Marquis Gu seem unwilling to hide anymore?

At this moment, Gu Baoshu was instructing everyone to clearly state what they saw and heard.

The Capital City has many nobles, and if you’re too honest, you really can’t run a shop. An established brand in West Market naturally has a backing.

Therefore, they spoke without really saying much.

"...Mr. Xu reserved the elegant room across the street a few days ago, saying he wanted to entertain distinguished guests.

How distinguished? Naturally, extremely so. Mr. Xu had the shop prepare things rarely seen... Collected a deposit of twenty taels of silver... The shop’s elegant room is indeed hard to reserve, especially this one, officials from the six departments came several times but couldn’t reserve it.

But Mr. Xu mixes well in the Capital City, after all, he has many underlings around him, he gets by well in the palace, and is also Prince Jin’s brother-in-law..."

"Mr. Xu arrived before 3:00 PM and was sitting in the elegant room drinking tea; several batches of people came back and forth, all led into the elegant room by the juniors... You ask if the juniors remember who all came? Naturally, they remember; the juniors survive on this job, and can remember guests who have come within the last two or three years. If someone hasn’t come for a while but can still be recognized by the juniors, they’d certainly be happy, right? They can also give a couple more coins as a reward."

"...Mr. Xu’s distinguished guests hadn’t arrived yet when Miss Gu had burst in! Right, the last one to come was Eunuch Huang, the Chief Eunuch with face from King Jin Mansion... This lady has been here for a while, watching the commotion with Mr. Xu. Talked about something... The juniors were all busy working, how dare they listen to the guests’ conversations? Even if they heard bits and pieces, they wouldn’t speak up, right?"

Gu Baoshu was not a kind man and woman, and immediately took out the medicine powder prepared by Xiao Dong from her pocket and scattered it.

In a moment, the people laughed, shouted, and with faces full of tears and snot crawling on the ground, they moved around embarrassedly.

"It itches, it’s sinful, speak, speak, speak, the juniors only know a little, the juniors said it all, begging great aunt to spare us, we implore you..."

This is more terrifying than being beaten.

The people beside them shivered while watching.

Thinking that the Miss from Dingbei Marquis Mansion has a character similar to the Demon Lord of Mayhem.

Ninth Princess was quite displeased: "Gu Baoshu, you can’t force a confession; Dingbei Marquis Mansion isn’t the government, how can you do such a thing."

Marquis Gu was even more displeased, his handsome face cold and stern: "Ninth Princess, as a Royal Princess, every word and action represents the dignity of the Royal Family, how can you speak such nonsense, when there are so many eyes watching, how has Treasure Bead forced a confession?

My Treasure Bead has put so much thought into uncovering those behind who are framing court officials, wholeheartedly for the court and Daxing state, why does Ninth Princess just find fault with her everywhere?

The Emperor entrusted me with the great task of Capital Inspection... Could it be, could it be that Empress Lin has some dissatisfaction with Dingbei Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing the signs of turning hostile, Ninth Princess was alarmed and waved her hand hurriedly: "I have a private friendship with Gu Baoshu, just worried for her, worried she’d stray from the right path, inevitably said a few more words, it’s nothing to do with father or mother."

Marquis Gu seemed to half-believe and half-doubt, looked at Princess Fuyun sitting aside, then said, "If so, as your humble servant sees it, Ninth Princess should follow Princess Fuyun and learn diligently."

Ninth Princess was quite upset.

Yet Prince Qi kept trying to calm things down by saying, "Little Nine is still young, let’s not argue about insignificant matters anymore, let them clarify things as soon as possible to avoid delaying later matters."

Gu Baoshu’s actions were very much to his liking.

Third Brother Gu was determined to make a big deal out of this, then he had no choice but to indulge him.

With all eyes watching and so many people standing on one side, Ninth Princess had no power to stop it and could only watch helplessly as the affairs involving Prince Jin came to light.

Being present versus being absent makes a huge difference.

Prince Jin was called endlessly but did not come, the situation then rushes rapidly towards a very unfavorable direction for him.

"Prince Jin is merciless; on the day of the Duke Zhen’s Mansion’s Old Madam’s birthday banquet, he committed adultery with the Duke Mansion’s eldest daughter, caught red-handed by Dingbei Marquis Mansion’s Miss, bears a grudge against Dingbei Marquis Mansion but doesn’t dare to trouble them, then bought off Mr. Qin’s roommate and brother-in-law, wanting to frame the Qin Family and Young Master Nantang, dragging Dingbei Marquis Mansion into it."

"Even the Duke Zhen’s Mansion is a Duke Mansion, how could it, how could it do such a thing? It is heard several young masters of Duke Zhen’s Mansion are close friends with Prince Jin, and the elderly matriarch, how can she bear this."

"Indeed, on that day, the two were seen naked by many, the elderly matriarch fell ill and didn’t recover, the eldest daughter was carried within a small palanquin into King Jin Mansion to become a lady overnight. Prince Jin’s Princess Consort and concubine do not have high statuses, how can the legitimate daughter of Duke Mansion be content being just a lady? The backyard is likely not going to be peaceful."

"Speaking of which, Prince Jin’s actions are indeed spiteful and ruthless, with no decency whatsoever, the masters are as the servants are. After all, ordinary people aren’t capable of doing such nauseating things, tsk tsk. Look at Lin Ziqi’s fate, who dares to get involved with him."

After tonight, Prince Jin’s reputation for being narrow-minded and ruthless will spread throughout the Capital City.

Since everyone present can testify.

Especially since gathered in front of Ranxiang Inn are scholars and noble women.

Eunuch Huang with his droopy triangular eyes stared sinisterly at the collapsed Xu Tang and Mr. Wu, inside churning with boiling poison.

His master, whom he meticulously served to adulthood, followed the Crown Prince for years, the hard-earned good reputation all wasted.

These two useless people still expect the master to save them.

Why don’t they just die in shame!

Prince Qi asked Marquis Gu: "How should we deal with these people?"

Marquis Gu thought for a moment, asked Qin Yuan: "What does Young Master Nantang think?"

That off feeling returned again... Princess Fuyun couldn’t help but frown.

Qin Yuan said: "I heard that tonight the Capital Governor Mansion, the Five Cities Military Department, and Patrol Camp people are patrolling everywhere, immediately arresting those disturbing street order. Since tonight has gotten so chaotic, why not hand them over for custody."

Marquis Gu immediately understood.

He nodded heavily: "Let’s do that!"
