“No!” Old Madam Gu denied it with difficulty. Her expression became uglier and uglier, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have doubled in the time it took to brew a cup of tea. She looked abnormally old.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with panic.

Ni Zongqi was only 70 to 80% right.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Madam Lei suddenly came looking for her with a baby and threatened her. “Madam Gu, don’t tell me you want everyone outside to know about the ‘substitute’?”

The faint voice of Madam Lei that night echoed in Old Madam Gu’s ears again. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her forehead.

The “substitute” was Old Madam Gu’s sore spot. Every time she thought about it, it made her feel like a knife was being twisted in her heart.

She had been threatened by Madam Lei and could only hide her in the small garden of the Gu residence… But why was Madam Lei here?!

Madam Wang wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes wandered uncertainly, and her thoughts also returned to the night of the Lantern Festival. She regretted it.

At that time, she had advised the Old Madam that Madam Lei couldn’t be kept hidden in their house. However, the Old Madam refused to listen and insisted on doing things her own way, causing a huge disaster for the family…

Old Madam Gu’s nails almost dug into the skin of her palms. Her eyes were red, but she still tried not to lose her composure.

She took a deep breath and straightened her neck. She said firmly, “It’s not like that. At that time, my Gu family was still the Marquis Household. I was the Madam of the Marquis Household, and the Yu family had long been convicted. What reason do I have to hide the remaining members of the Yu family?!” “Madam Lei is deliberately slandering me! This snitch letter was also designed to frame me!”

“I think this Madam Lei is definitely in cahoots with the person who wrote the snitch letter!”

Old Madam Gu insisted that she was hiding Madam Lei.

With the Embroidered Uniform Guards here, she knew that she couldn’t admit it no matter what. If she did, she and her son would be consigned to eternal damnation. What awaited them would probably be a family exile!

“I didn’t…” Madam Lei’s pretty face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with sparkling tears. Her expression was sad, moving, innocent, and pitiful.

Perhaps because she hugged the swaddling clothes too hard, the baby in her arms woke up and cried miserably.

The shrill cries were loud and noisy, lingering.

The Gu family members in the hall frowned deeply, adding to their frustration.

“Baby, be good.” Madam Lei’s heart ached as she went to coax the baby. As she patted the baby gently, a few strands of messy hair fell from her temples and trembled.

It was unknown if the child was hungry or shocked, but he kept crying…

This orphan and widow were weak and pitiful. They had no one to rely on.

“Enough!” He Lie, who was standing by the window, shouted.

Madam Lei was shocked and quickly covered the baby’s mouth.

He Lie sneered and waved the snitch letter in his hand. “You’ve already said all the good and bad things. Your grandson came to the North Town Bureau to report Gu Yuan with this snitch letter.”

“Frame? Slander?… If you insist on it, you’re the ones who framed Gu Yuan!”

Madam Gu and Gu Jian were speechless.

Gu Yun Lan and the other girls became even more uneasy. Even though they were young and didn’t know what had happened, they could at least understand that their current situation was quite bad.

He Lie didn’t want to listen to Old Madam Gu’s stubborn nonsense anymore. He immediately ordered, “Bring Madam Lei and her son back to the North Town Bureau!”

His words exploded like thunder.

The Gu family seemed to have been struck by lightning. They were silent, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Gu Xiao’s body swayed violently. His face was so pale that there was no color at all. He leaned weakly against the pillar beside him.

“Wait!”

A graceful female voice sounded from outside the hall, panting slightly.

Everyone in the hall looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Yunrong in a bright red dress walking hurriedly to the outside of the hall. Her snow-white cheeks were flushed from her run.

Gu Yunrong had gone to the Myriad Herb Hall early in the morning. When she heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had come to the Gu residence to search, she hurriedly rushed back.

“Rong’er!” Gu Jian’s dark eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yunrong.

Old Madam Gu, Madam Wang, Gu Xiao, Gu Yunlan, and the others also looked at Gu Yunrong as if they had seen their savior. Their eyes were shining.

The Gu family was in dire straits now, and they couldn’t rely on their in-laws and old friends. No one dared to offend the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The only person in the world who still had a trace of hope was Gu Yunrong..
