At the end of autumn, the apricot leaves have also turned yellow, and when blown by the cold wind, they fall feebly from the trunks, showing signs of withering and decay everywhere.

The night is getting dark, and lights have been lit in the courtyard of the Gu family.

Gu Jiamu was looking at the ginkgo tree in the yard, feeling a little wistful.

The ancestral motto of the Gu family is to serve the country wholeheartedly, so my father raised him as his successor from an early age.

He lived up to expectations. Before he entered the official career, he helped his father find out many evidences that were detrimental to the country. As a result, he defeated several corrupt officials and became famous among the people.

But he didn't expect that this time he unexpectedly found evidence of the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Wu family.

Prince Mo Jingyi has always been gentle and polite, and his reputation as a virtuous person has spread far and wide. However, the royal family's children have never been allowed to interact with the aristocratic family, otherwise they will be considered to be in collusion with the aristocratic family and have the intention to usurp the throne.

The prince was the first candidate for the throne. He didn't have to do this, but he did do it. Although it was very secretive, when the evidence fell into Gu Jiamu's hands, he felt it was very hot.

This is a secret letter between the prince and the Wu family. It was stolen from the Wu family by the elite of the Gu family.

The content is that the prince made an appointment with the young master of the Wu family. He also compared the handwriting and found that it belonged to the prince. There was also the prince's private seal stamped at the end.

This is conclusive evidence!

Gu Jiamu was very hesitant for a while. If he handed the evidence to his father, Gu Hongyi would have to present it to the emperor because of his character. It would be unknown what the trouble would be.

If the prince can escape unharmed from this matter, then his Gu family will inevitably become enemies with the prince. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, the Gu family will be in danger.

But if the evidence is not handed over and the evidence is destroyed, the Wu family discovers the loss of the secret letter, and the Gu family is the first to be suspected. If the secret guard leaves traces at this time, then the Gu family will also be in disaster.

Gu Jiamu smiled bitterly. This letter was really a hot potato. He really didn't know what to do.

Is their ancient family, just like this ginkgo tree, destined to decline in winter and unable to recover?

Gu Jiamu sighed, and was thinking about asking his friend Zhao Beiyi to help him with his advice. Suddenly, he heard a sound breaking through the sky in the night, flying straight in his direction.

Gu Jiamu was shocked. Could it be that the Wu family had already discovered it? It couldn't be so fast.

He was just a scholar and didn't understand martial arts. He just saw a crossbow arrow inserted into the pillar behind him with a "pop" sound.

"Who?!"

Gu Jiamu shouted, but the courtyard still seemed empty and no one responded.

His secret guard showed up and reported with some annoyance:

"Master, a man in black suddenly appeared just now, shot this crossbow arrow at the courtyard and then left. The subordinates did not react in time and hope that the master will punish him."

"It's okay." Gu Jiamu frowned and said thoughtfully, "The person here is not here to take my life, so you can go down first."

"yes."

Gu Jiamu walked to the pillar and pulled out the crossbow arrow. Sure enough, there was a note on the crossbow arrow.

He took it off and couldn't figure out who wanted to send a message to him in this way.

Unfolding the note, the content on it made his pupils tremble——

"Substitute one thing for another, be wise and wise to protect yourself."

Who is he? How could anyone know that he has evidence?

Gu Jiamu's hand holding the note trembled slightly. He had obtained this evidence within an hour, so it was impossible for anyone to know about it.

Fortunately, this person was a friend rather than an enemy, and he didn't know who he was, so he reminded him in this way.

Gu Jiamu couldn't think too much. After he figured out the meaning of the note, he felt enlightened. He quickly called his secret guards and his subordinates to do this...

Yun family.

Yun Ange changed out of his night clothes and stretched.

Done!

As long as Gu Jiamu is not too stupid, he will definitely know what to do.

Yun Ange's Yue Xi Xuan Gong has reached the fourth level. As long as she wants to hide, ordinary secret guards will not be able to detect her.

She also figured out the route of the Gu family recently and reported to the Gu family every night. She accidentally discovered that the Gu family actually had evidence of Mo Jingyi's contacts with the aristocratic family.

In the previous life, the Gu family must have been discovered by the ruthless Wu family and Mo Jingyi, and they were finally driven out and killed.

But now that he had caught something against Mo Jingyi, how could Yun Ange let it go so easily?

Of course she would choose to save the Gu family. Firstly, she would have an extra ally, and secondly, she would also have the opportunity to severely damage Mo Jingyi in the future. For her, this was not something that would be beneficial to her.

With this unexpected gain, Yun Ange was in a very good mood and entered the system space to study and practice again.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, bringing a touch of warmth to the slightly cool weather. However, there was still a coolness when the breeze blew by.

"Miss, this is the fox fur cloak you customized a few days ago. Let Qingyun put it on for you. It's still a little cold outside."

After dinner, Qingyun brought several cloaks over and placed them on the table. After receiving Yun Ange's signal, he unfolded the top white cloak and helped her put it on.

The pure white fox fur was fluffy, making Yun Ange's little face look even whiter, flawless, and charming.

Qingyun stared at his young lady's stunning face and couldn't help but admire: "Miss, you are getting more and more beautiful. Qingyun is almost stunned."

Yun Ange smiled and lifted her chin, teasingly saying: "Qingyun, you are also a little beauty, don't belittle yourself."

The two joked for a while and then got on the mansion's carriage. Today was still the day to go to Taixue Academy.

Qingyun put the remaining gray, brown, and black fox fur cloaks in a small package, and muttered: "Miss, you also bring a cloak worth five hundred taels to each of them. They are really

Lucky."

Yun Ange smiled and replied: "I'm lucky to have met them. Qingyun, you are the people I cherish the most, don't be jealous."

After a pause, she said mysteriously: "The cloak of yours is a light yellow one. Someone put it in your room for you. Haven't you noticed it yet?"

Qingyun originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect to hear that the lady actually prepared one for him. He blinked several times in shock, a little unbelievable:

"Miss...I..."

"Qingyun, you are like my family, you are wholeheartedly good to me. If my family has it, of course you will have it too. I have always treated you as my sister."

When Qingyun heard Yun Ange's serious words, she couldn't help but shed tears, "Wow...Miss, you are so kind..."

Yun Ange had no choice but to take out her handkerchief and wipe her tears. In the last life, Qingyun died for her. In this life, she will compensate Qingyun well so that she will not be hurt again.
