Even if Old Madam Gu, Gu Jian, and Gu Xiao had yet to confess, He Lie could tell that they had clearly failed to frame Gu Yuan and had fallen instead.
Until now, they probably still didn’t know how they had fallen!
It was lamentable.
He Lie had seen Gu Yanfei’s methods with his own eyes. An abnormally bright and sharp light flashed across his eyes in the blink of an eye.
“Commander He, we’re really innocent!” Gu Jian grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand and raised his voice excitedly. “We don’t know why this woman appeared in my house!”
In just a few words, Gu Jian’s face changed several colors.

He Lie glanced at Gu Jian coldly and couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He gestured at Ni Zongqi.
Ni Zongqi immediately understood and took a step forward with his saber by his waist. He looked straight at the beautiful woman standing in the hall and asked sternly, “Madam Lei, are you framing them?”
Madam Lei bit her pale lower lip and hugged the swaddling clothes tightly with one hand. She shook her head desperately and said in a trembling voice, “I… I don’t dare!”
“It was the Gu family who took me in. How would I dare to barge into a private house…”
Madam Lei’s delicate body trembled uncontrollably, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
“Nonsense!” Old Madam Gu retorted sternly and tightened her grip on the prayer beads in her hand. She really couldn’t understand why Madam Lei was here.
After saying that, she realized that she was too agitated.
She suppressed the frustration and panic in her heart and looked at He Lie by the window. She tried her best to calm down and said, “Commander He, I have never interacted with the Yu family. I don’t know why this woman wants to slander our family, let alone why she’s hiding in our house!”
“Commander He, someone really wants to frame us.” Gu Jian stood up and bowed respectfully to He Lie.
He had neither a noble title nor an official position now. He would only suffer if he went against the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Fortunately, as soon as he heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were here, he quickly sent someone out the back door to look for Gu Yunrong.
Gu Jian was extremely anxious. He could only hope that Gu Yunrong would return quickly. Gu Yunrong was now the only person their family could rely on.
Ni Zongqi looked at Gu Jian and then at Old Madam Gu. He grinned, but there was no smile in his cold eyes. He said slowly, “Does Old Madam really have no contact with the Yu family?”
“Old Madam, your maiden family’s surname is Qi. Your hometown should be the same as the Yu family in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, right?”
“You’re still close friends with the Empress of the former dynasty, right?”
Ni Zongqi’s gaze was firmly locked on Old Madam Gu, as if he was an eagle that had caught its prey.
Old Madam Gu’s delicate hand trembled violently, and the Buddhist prayer bead bracelet almost fell out of her hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo, I was never close friends with Empress Yu!
Back then, when Empress Yu got married, she was only three or four years old. She had only gone to the Yu family with her parents to congratulate them.
She had only been to the Yu family’s house once in her life.
The Yu family was the maternal family of the former empress. If it weren’t for their daughter marrying into the British Duke’s residence and becoming the Duchess, the Yu family would have long been completely lost. The Qi family also managed to survive because their daughter married Gu Xuan.
Back then, Emperor Taizu had deliberately suppressed the rise of the aristocratic families. During his reign, most of the aristocratic families gradually declined and relied on marriage alliances with new nobles to barely survive.
Naturally, Old Madam Gu didn’t want to interact with the Yu family anymore. In the past decades, the relationship between the two families has always been weak.
Since the British Duchess’ surname was Yu, if only Gu Yanfci and Fang Mingfeng hadn’t been engaged since they were young, the Gu family would have completely alienated the Yu family and not interacted with them anymore.
Gu Yanfei has been a jinx since she was born!
As Old Madam Gu thought about it angrily, her mind became even more chaotic, as if it was stuffed with a mess.
Seeing that she was silent, Ni Zongqi sneered and took a step closer to Old Madam Gu. His words were sharp. “Madam Qi, do you think that after decades, everything will disappear without a trace? What don’t our Embroidered Uniform Guards know?!”
“The Yu family was in a difficult position this time, so they asked Madam Lei to bring their children to beg you to take them in. You couldn’t refuse, so you hid them until now.”
Ni Zongqi’s expression was extremely firm and calm, as if he had seen all of this with his own eyes..
