Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 502 Unintentional eavesdropping

When Gu Yan heard this, the hand that was originally holding the book moved slightly, and his eyes glanced at Yaoguang who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, Yaoguang hurriedly stepped forward, carefully took the mysterious letter from Gu Yan, and quickly handed it over.

After Gu Yan took the letter, he slowly opened it with elegant and steady movements.

His eyes, as deep as a lake, quickly scanned the words on the letter. After just a few glances, he frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice, "Is there someone from the Bai family still in Beijing?"

Yaoguang heard this and quickly shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about the matter.

Before this incident happened, they had never paid attention to the Bai family's movements.

Gu Yan thought for a moment, then handed the letter in his hand to Yao Guang and said calmly, "Go check this matter."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "Go on."

Yaoguang nodded and continued to report: "The young master of the Qian family is named Qian Zhitai, and he has now joined Lord Zhou to work. And according to the clues we have so far, the trail of that group of people suddenly stopped when they reached Lord Zhou."

At this point, Yaoguang paused for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Besides...it seems that this matter is also somewhat related to the palace."

Hearing this, Gu Yan raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, sketching a meaningful smile, and whispered to himself: "Things seem to be getting more and more interesting!"

Then, he looked up at Yaoguang and asked, "I remember that Lord Zhou's sister is a concubine in the palace, right?"

Yaoguang nodded without hesitation and replied, "That's right, it seems her name is Concubine Zhou."

Gu Yan touched his chin thoughtfully and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this concubine to be even more ruthless than Lord Zhou. Perhaps she was also involved in what happened back then.

This is such a pleasant surprise!"

After saying this, he stared at Yaoguang sharply and ordered: "Investigate further."

After receiving the order, Yaoguang did not dare to delay at all. She flashed and rushed towards the window like a flash of lightning.

With a light "whoosh" sound, Yaoguang's figure instantly disappeared outside the window, as if she had never appeared.

At this time, Gu Yan was the only one left in the study room.

However, at this moment, he suddenly turned his head to the door of the study and shouted with a smile: "Why don't you come in after listening to it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was dead silence outside the door and no response came.

But Gu Yan did not get angry or impatient because of this. Instead, he smiled and stared at the direction of the study door with interest, as if waiting for something.

After a long time, the tightly closed door of the study was finally slowly pushed open a crack by someone from the outside.

Then, a petite and pretty head poked its head in cautiously.

Gu Qingzhi's big watery eyes flashed with anxiety and trepidation, and she asked softly, "Brother, have you finished talking about your business? Can Qing'er come in now?"

Gu Yan, who was sitting at the desk, raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at his sister at the door with gentle eyes, nodded slightly and said, "I'm done, come in."

His voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible hint of a smile in it.

When Gu Qingzhi heard her brother's agreement, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She was secretly glad that her brother did not blame her for eavesdropping outside the door, but at the same time she knew that she did not do it on purpose.

So she hurriedly held a plate of exquisite pastries in both hands, walked quickly into the study and came to her brother.

"Brother, this is the cake that Qing'er just made this morning. I brought it here specially for you to try!"

As Gu Qingzhi spoke, she blinked her big eyes and pretended to be pitiful and continued, "Brother, Qing'er really didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, please don't be angry with me..."

She felt that if she took the initiative to admit her mistake first, perhaps her brother would see her good attitude and forgive her easily.

Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He reached out and gently rubbed his sister's hair, saying softly, "Qingqing, brother doesn't blame you."

In fact, he wanted to tell his sister that he had nothing to hide from her. However, a crucial event that he had not yet revealed to her suddenly flashed through his mind, and he swallowed the words back.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if she hears it by accident, she will know it sooner or later anyway.

Seeing that her brother looked calm and his mouth corners slightly raised, he really didn't look angry. Gu Qingzhi's originally doubtful heart was completely put down. A smile as bright as a spring flower instantly bloomed on her face, and she said excitedly:

"Really? That's great! Hehe, I knew my brother loved me the most!"

Afterwards, her chattering nature, like a bird, was revealed again, and she began to share with her brother all the interesting things that happened in the mansion today.

Finally, he said, "Brother, just now I accidentally heard you mention the Bai family, the Qian family and other topics. What happened?"

Gu Qingzhi blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously.

Gu Yan didn't want his innocent sister to hear such a dirty thing, but after a little thought, he changed his mind.

He felt that there were always many ugly things in this world, and his beloved would grow up sooner or later and would have to face these realities.

Knowing some inside information might be beneficial to her.

So he organized his thoughts a little, and then told his sister in concise and clear words what those people had done and the various conspiracies and tricks they had deployed.

Gu Qingzhi listened attentively, sometimes frowning in thought, and sometimes nodding slightly.

After listening, she was silent for a moment, as if digesting the information in her mind.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something important, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Brother, I can probably guess something about the Bai family! Oh..."

Gu Yan looked at his emotional sister in front of him and guessed something in his mind.

After all, my sister used to have a very good relationship with someone in the Bai family, but for some reason they later broke up. Since then, my sister's personality has changed drastically, and she has become closer to him.

Thinking back on the past, it now feels like a dream.

Before Gu Yan could respond, Gu Qingzhi couldn't wait to continue, "I've heard villagers talking about this before, saying that Bai Xiaolian from the Bai family seems to have married in the capital!

So, the letter that the Bai family received this time was most likely sent by her, and maybe the whole thing was instigated by her!"
