Jiang Segu glanced at Gu Songhan out of the corner of his eye before bowing to Marquis Changping and Lord Jiang.
"Why is Ah Zi here again?"
Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, Marquis Changping's dissatisfaction with Jiang Segu's sudden arrival was quite evident.
Jiang Segu's actions clearly indicate that he's here to cause trouble, or perhaps he's also eyeing Deputy Commander Gu!
He naturally didn't know about Deputy Commander Gu before, but after the Peach Blossom Banquet, the Emperor's affectionate attitude towards him stirred up the Marquis of Changping's thoughts.
The Jiang family is currently facing a lack of descendants, so they have no choice but to focus on their granddaughters!
The eldest brother said that none of the nobles at the Peach Blossom Banquet thought much of the Jiang family's daughter, which is why Marquis Changping set his sights on Gu Songhan.
She had originally planned to ask someone to help her get in touch with Gu Songhan, but unexpectedly, Gu Songhan came to her doorstep on his own!
Moreover, he has no parents or relatives. If he achieves something in the future, as long as his granddaughter whispers in his ear and asks him to help Wenlin and speak well of the Marquis's family in front of the emperor, his title of Marquis of Changping might be hereditary in the future!
Looking around, the most suitable age in the Marquis's mansion is Second Sister.
The second wife was the most gentle and obedient of the eldest son's family!
That's why the scene just now happened!
As for his other granddaughters, he was afraid that if Gu Songhan didn't take a liking to his second aunt, he would still have other options!
He would accept any of his granddaughters, but not this willful Azi!
While Marquis Changping was making clear plans for Gu Songhan in his mind, Gu Songhan's heart trembled at Jiang Segu's glance!
This is a huge loss!
He was just playing along, hoping to uncover some secrets about the eldest son's family.
Especially regarding the matter of Xiao's mother's three daughters, whether it was as Changping guessed or not, who knew that before he could even find out the information, he had already gotten himself involved!
Jiang Segu didn't care about Marquis Changping's attitude at all; he simply raised his hand and handed over the invitation given by Zhou's mother.
"Grandfather, Grandmother heard that you were entertaining Deputy Commander Gu at your residence, so she sent Azi to deliver the birthday banquet invitation to Deputy Commander Gu."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Changping burst into laughter, "Your grandmother and I are truly of one mind! I've already mentioned this to Deputy Commander Gu! Deputy Commander Gu, you must do me the honor of joining us that day!"
Gu Songhan stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "This junior will definitely come!"
"Grandfather, I have already sent the invitation. I will not disturb you and Deputy Commander Gu's drinking and conversation any longer!"
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Marquis Changping couldn't be happier for Jiang Segu to leave quickly, lest Gu Songhan, who was blind, take a fancy to his most disobedient granddaughter!
If Gu Songhan takes a fancy to Azi... Marquis Changping quickly shook his head to get rid of this ominous thought!
Seeing that Jiang Segu had left without even glancing at him, Gu Songhan dared not stay in Chunzaitang any longer.
"My lord, it is getting late, and I have to be on duty tomorrow, so I will be heading back now!"
Marquis Changping was about to stop him, but Gu Songhan said, "I am sitting right next door. If Your Highness wishes to have a drink, please feel free to call me anytime!"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Changping agreed, "That makes sense!"
Gu Songhan, who had left through the main gate of the Marquis of Changping's residence, appeared in Jiang Segu's courtyard a step faster than Jiang Segu.
When Jiang Segu returned to her room, she was not surprised to find Gu Songhan there, but she used words to provoke him.
"Why isn't Deputy Commander Gu enjoying himself at Chun Zai Tang? What are you doing here? I don't have any beautiful women or fine wine, nor any celestial music."
Gu Songhan quickly explained, "I just want to find out for you whether the deaths of Master Jiang and Madam Xiao's three daughters are related."
"Oh, in that case, I should thank you!"
"That's not all I meant, I just... I just wanted to explain to you that what happened just now was all just acting!"
"Oh, so the officers of the Military Police Bureau have to put on such a show when investigating cases! I was so ignorant!"
Gu Songhan said in a mournful voice, "I didn't even touch them just now!"
Jiang Segu glared at him fiercely before saying in a sinister voice, "Then it was my bad timing that prevented Deputy Commander Gu from drinking the wine personally fed to him by my second sister!"
Gu Songhan was completely speechless; the more he explained, the more confused he became.
Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Segu felt a surge of anger rising within him, and stormed out, flung the curtain behind him.
A moment later, she lifted the curtain and came in again.
This house is hers, why is she leaving?
"It's getting late, Deputy Commander Gu, please return!"
Qiaohe stood to the side, extremely worried for Gu Songhan!
She knew her son-in-law was clumsy with words, but she never expected him to be so clueless about romance!
Even she could tell that the girl was jealous, and a few kind words would be enough to appease her!
Listen to those blockhead sons-in-law, what kind of things are they saying that are just adding fuel to the fire!
Qiaohe couldn't bear to watch any longer and could only remind her, "Miss, didn't you want to ask about Zhou Yuan?"
Gu Songhan was filled with gratitude and looked at Qiaohe with a sense of divine inspiration.
"I also came to talk to you about Zhou Yuan..."
Before Jiang Segu could speak, he then told Jiang Segu about his actions of testing Zhou Yuan, provoking Zhou Yuan, releasing Zhou Yuan, and ordering someone to follow Zhou Yuan.
Although Jiang Youhui had already told Jiang Segu about Master Jiang's absurdity and knew about Jiang Chuhui's tragic past, hearing it again still brought her deep sorrow.
The older sister is so pitiful!
Seeing the pity in her eyes, Gu Songhan naturally sighed as well, "Your eldest sister is truly unfortunate, and I feel sorry for her too."
