"I found it." Qiu Shun lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully, "In the basement of the ancestral hall in the old house, we found three people who look exactly like you, young master."

The chilling aura emanating from Gu Chen was almost tangible.

Even though he had long anticipated that the old mansion would cultivate a double to replace him at any time, he was still shocked when he learned for certain that such people actually existed.

He still felt incredibly disgusted.

Those who now have faces like his once had their own unique looks, but now...

At this moment, Gu Chen felt an overwhelming urge to completely annihilate this family.

"Young master, what should we do with those people?" Qiu Shun asked.

Gu Chen suppressed his fierce aura. "Ignore them for now. Keep an eye on when the clan plans to use them."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he got up and walked into the courtyard. Ye Ruan had just finished a set of Tai Chi. When she saw him, she leaned closer to him and asked, "Are you going to see the clan leader again?"

Gu Chen nodded, and casually pinched her cheek. "You can play in the yard. Qiu Shun will protect you."

“I’ll go with you.” Ye Ruan looked at Gu Chen with her clear and bright eyes and said firmly, “Your clan leader sent someone to take me to see him yesterday. I’m staying here now, and he definitely won’t give up if he doesn’t see me.”

Rather than passively waiting for him to use various methods to capture me, I'd rather take the initiative and go see him myself.

Moreover, the mute servant who came to see me yesterday threw a packet of medicine powder at me, which means there are people in your old house who know how to use traditional Chinese medicine formulas. If you go alone, what if they give you some weird medicine?

I do know a little bit of medicine, so if they really drug you, I can warn you.

Or even if I didn't discover it beforehand, I can still help you afterwards.

Looking at her serious expression as she analyzed the situation, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile slightly. When faced with her determined and pleading gaze, Gu Chen felt his joy was about to overflow.

He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek again. "You've analyzed it so clearly and planned it all out long ago. I have no reason not to let you go."

Ye Ruan immediately smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, "Then wait for me, I'll go back and wash up and change my clothes."

Gu Chen obediently returned to the living room and sat down, waiting for Ye Ruan.

At this moment, in the clan chief's courtyard.

Gu Changxuan stretched out his arms to let the mute servant dress him.

Gu Jing also served respectfully from the side.

After the mute servant helped Gu Changxuan put on the gray Tang suit, Gu Changxuan looked at Gu Jing beside him and asked, "Have you notified all the people I asked you to yesterday?"

"Uncle, please rest assured, the notices have all been given. The eligible daughters from all the prominent families should be arriving soon," Gu Jing replied respectfully.

After saying that, while serving Gu Changxuan, he asked in confusion, "Uncle, didn't you already decide to get rid of Gu Chen and use a substitute?"

Why then spread the word about choosing a wife for him and invite daughters of prominent families over?

Gu Changxuan glanced at Gu Jing with disdain, "Since I gave Gu Chen a choice yesterday, if I didn't arrange these things, wouldn't others think I was forcing Gu Chen to relinquish power?"

Regardless of our actual intentions, we must maintain a proper facade and avoid giving anyone any reason to criticize us.

As soon as Gu Changxuan finished speaking, a mute servant entered.

Gu Changxuan and Gu Jing looked at the mute servant, who made simple and clean gestures for a while.

Gu Changxuan turned to Gu Jing and said, "Since Gu Chen is here, you should go to the main gate and wait to welcome the young ladies from various noble families."

"yes."

As Gu Chen led Ye Ruan inside, they happened to run into Gu Jing walking outside.

Gu Jing had only nodded and greeted Gu Chen, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to Ye Ruan, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
