Gu Feng left the fourth room and turned to the backyard, avoided the servants and came to Gu Shuyu's study in Fu'an Hall.

Gu Feng went into the study and searched for it. Finally, he found a key in the stack of ancient books at the top of the bookcase.

With the key in his arms, Gu Feng returned to the front yard and took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy entering Gu Shuyu's front study room in the mourning hall.

Gu Feng came out before he stayed inside for a long time and hurried towards the back door.

When Gu Feng left the courtyard where Gu Shuyu's study was located, several figures came out from behind a rockery.

"A bad beast!"

Gu Shuqing's eyes were red and glaring at Gu Feng's departure back, almost shattering his silver teeth.

Gu Shuyuan patted his younger brother's shoulder and sighed, "That's the eldest brother's thing. Although he is the legitimate son, he cannot belong to him alone. Moreover, who knows what he wants to do with those things? It's more important to recover it."

Gu An, who was standing aside, nodded to Gu Zhehan, and Gu Zhehan quickly chased Gu Feng and left.

Gu An sighed, "I didn't expect the fourth brother to be like this. I would have known it if I had known... Oh! Forget it, no matter what, it's my younger brother. My father is gone, and my elder brother... Don't worry, with me Gu An for a day, I will never let my fourth brother go on a wrong path."

Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing also sighed and patted Gu An on the shoulder.

Gu Shuyuan nodded at Gu An with a smile, "Fortunately, my third brother and I want to go to the garden and see the home we haven't returned to for more than ten years. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen what this beast did. If we hadn't caught us today, he would have ruined all my things."

Gu An shook his head at Gu Shuyuan, "Forget it, I think my father has nothing to do with him, that little thing is worth nothing."

The more Gu An was not concerned, the more Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing felt that Gu Shuyu was ashamed of Gu An, they wondered why his elder brother just didn't like him such a good child? Although there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate family in Dingyuan Houfu, they are not a family that suppresses illegitimate sons. As long as the illegitimate son is willing to advance and make progress, they will treat each other like legitimate sons when they have fame and achievements. Just like Gu Shuyuan, the relationship between him and Gu Shuyu and Gu Shuqing is very good. Why is it different when it comes to Gu An?

Gu An Chong and the other two pulled the corners of their mouths bitterly and led them to continue to visit the garden.

Gu An followed behind the two and looked back at Gu Shuyu's previous study room, secretly glad that he was lucky. If he hadn't accompanied his two uncles to visit the garden, he wouldn't have known that Gu Feng had actually stole the study room of his father, but he didn't know what he had taken away.

Gu An narrowed his eyes and quickly put the matter aside, preparing to accompany the two uncles as a thank you.

Gu Zhehan chased Gu Feng out of Gu Mansion, but did not immediately go forward to catch the person, but followed him to the palace, until he arrived at a grocery shop on East Street and saw Gu Feng crawling in, Gu Zhehan appeared.

Gu Zhehan looked up and glanced, his eyes shrank, and anger flashed in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this grocery shop was the property of Dingyuan Hou Mansion. When the family was separated, it was returned to the big house. The people inside should be all the people in the big house themselves. How could Gu Feng come here?

Gu Zhehan thought about it carefully and remembered that there was no back door inside, so he sat at a teahouse opposite the shop to drink tea, wanting to see what Gu Feng wanted to do.

There were quite a few people coming in and out of the shop, but they looked like ordinary people. Gu Zhehan frowned and looked up at the sky.

Half an hour later, a tall man in servant's clothes entered the miscellaneous store. Gu Zhehan's eyes lit up and he smiled.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Zhehan walked out of the narrow alley, dusted the non-existent body, scanned the alley behind him with disdain, and returned to the Gu Mansion with a package.

"father."

Gu An was accompanying Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing to drink tea in the garden, and was also waiting for Gu Zhehan to come back. When Gu An heard Gu Zhehan's cry, Gu An turned his head and looked at Gu Zhehan.

"Come back?"

Gu An glanced at the original package in Gu Zhehan's arms, and turned around calmly to add tea to Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing.

But Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing were not calm, and they stood up and said hurriedly: "Where is the thing?"

Gu Zhehan patted the package in his arms, "Here."

After saying that, Gu Zhehan put the package on the stone table.

Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing were relieved when they saw the package.

That's right, it's just this, just like the package Gu Feng took out.

The two sat back and opened the package.

In the package is a square box, which contains a rectangular sign that is neither gold, jade, nor iron. It is engraved with the logo of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, and below it is 500,000 taels of silver notes, as well as several land deeds and a book.

It’s okay if other things are, but the book and brand are unknown, which also aroused the interest of Gu An and the other four.

Gu Shuyuan slapped the box with a slap, closed the box, and looked at Gu Shuqing face to face.

After a while, Gu Shuyuan nodded to Gu Shuqing and said, "Call someone and take out the things in front of everyone."

Gu Shuqing nodded, "Okay, let's do it now."

Gu Shuqing got up without hesitation and called someone. Gu An and Gu Zhehan looked at each other and looked at Gu Shuyuan.

Gu Shuyuan sighed, "Gu An! I sent Shuqing away to tell you that the things here are owned by the head of the Gu family, and I'm afraid... you won't get it."

Gu An smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Second, I never wanted anything from the Gu family, even if it was left by my father."

Gu Shuyuan nodded, "You are a good person. I knew you would not be greedy for these external things, but there are some things that must be handed over to you.

Everything else is easy to say. The book book inside records some unknown secrets of the Gu family and the families of the capital. It was passed down from generation to generation by the head of the family, and it also has the brand representing the head of the family. It is a symbol of the head of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. With it, it is the veritable head of the Gu family.

Now you put away these two things and keep them safe. If one day the legitimate branches can still rise, you can return them to the legitimate branches. If they have no prospects and are unable to take on great responsibilities, don’t let them appear.”

Gu An frowned and looked at the booklets and signs that Gu Shuyuan took out of the box again, "Uncle Second, this seems not good, right? These should be left to the eldest brother, he is the head of the family."

Gu Shuyuan shook his head, "No, your elder brother can't do it. He can't support the wall and it's hard to take the responsibility. The position of the head of the family was passed on to him because he was the eldest son. I have seen his sons, too. It's too different. He looks like a villain and cannot be on the surface.

My third brother and I discussed this. We can only be at ease with these things if you keep them. To put it bluntly, we can't keep these things.

Gu An! Let me tell me truthfully, is the secret guard of Dingyuan Hou Mansion in your hands?"

Gu An nodded, "That's right, it's in my hands. Since I was very young, these people have been secretly protecting me, and they taught me Gu's gun."

Gu Shuyuan nodded with relief, "That's right, the secret guards in Dingyuan Hou Mansion have long regarded you as the main one, so you can grow up.

No one except me knew about the secret guards in Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Even the eldest brother, he didn't know about it. I knew it was an accident. I accidentally ran into your grandfather's room when I was a child. Afterwards, your grandfather thought I was young and would forget it after a long time, so he didn't mention it again, but I always remember it.

Do you know why I didn’t remind your father of secret guards after he took over as head of the family?”

Gu Shuyuan suddenly laughed before Gu An answered, "Because the secret guards of Dingyuan Hou Mansion do not admit that he is the head of the family, because all three of us are in the literature.

Haha..., there are secret guards in the mansion but don’t know, and they can’t be mobilized, or even look down on their master. How sad?

Gu An! To put it bluntly, it’s useless to put this brand on your elder brother’s place, so let’s put it on your place.”

After Gu Shuyuan finished speaking, he took out the card and book of the head of Dingyuan Hou Mansion from the box and handed it to Gu An.

"Send it away now and don't let others see it."

Gu An thought for a while and nodded solemnly at Gu Shuyuan.

"Don't worry, if the lineage of the legitimate branch can rise again, I, Gu An, will definitely return all these things to the legitimate branch, including the secret guards at home."

After saying that, Gu An waved his hand and Wei Yi came out of nowhere.

"master."

Wei half knelt on the ground and didn't look at Gu Shuyuan. Although he heard Gu Shuyuan's words, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Gu An gave Wei Yi the things and instructed him: "Send them back to the mansion and leave them there first, and hand them over to me when I go back."

Wei Yi took the thing and turned away, while Gu Shuyuan looked obsessedly at the direction of Wei Yi leaving, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu An and Gu Zhehan shivered at the same time when they saw Gu Shuyuan's expressions, and they all got goosebumps.

After a long time, Gu Shuyuan smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect that Gu Shuyuan would still be able to see the secret guards at home in my lifetime. Even if I let me die now, I would be willing."

Gu An and Gu Zhehan swallowed their saliva and served tea and drank water together.

It's just a secret guard, is that?

The two of them couldn't understand Gu Shuyuan's thoughts, so they stopped talking and only listened to Gu Shuyuan continue to say it alone.

"I guess Gu Feng took these things for the booklets inside. The things recorded there are so important. They are all big secrets about the families in the capital for a hundred years. Gu Feng took them to fight for the throne, right?"

Gu Shuyuan's political sensitivity is much better than Gu Shuqing. He is worthy of being an old fox who climbed up little by little from below. He can understand with a roll of his eyes.

Gu An nodded, "It's almost the same, who knows? However, the fourth brother protects King Duan and King Rui, but I don't know which prince he handed over to."

Gu An looked up at Gu Zhehan with inquiry in his eyes.

Gu Zhehan smiled and said, "It's King Duan, it seems that the Fourth Uncle is optimistic about King Duan."

Gu An and Gu Shuyuan looked at each other and sighed secretly.

It's really possible! I think it's too slow to die? So I want to die sooner?

Gu An touched his nose awkwardly, "My fourth brother... has a different idea. Uh, maybe he thinks that the family treats him...isn't it too bad?"

Gu An was puzzled. The good young master was unfair and insisted on participating in the fight for the throne. Even if he was willing to die, he would still have to pull the entire clan into the water. He had never thought about what to do after this matter was resolved? If the people of other aristocratic families in the capital knew that their secret was leaked from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, would the Gu family members be better?

What the generations have carefully recorded are not one or two things. Although each family has a copy of it, even in the palace, how can it be a small matter of being able to enter such a thin booklet? Isn’t he afraid that the Gu family will exterminate the clan because of him?

Besides, although each family has this thing, no one has ever admitted it. You have to take out the tacit things and hang them out. Are you in a bad mood?

Gu An and Gu Shuyuan both began to worry about Gu Feng's IQ. It would be strange if such an idiot was in the family!

Soon Gu Shuqing sent someone to find them, and the three of them got up and carried the box to Fu'an Hall.

Fearing that Gu Feng knew about Shupao, Gu Shuyuan and Gu Shuqing took the initiative to drive out all the married wife and daughter who were about to marry, leaving only the male man named Gu gathered together.

Gu Shuyuan put the box on the table without hesitation, looked at Gu Feng and said quietly: "Don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?"

Gu Feng's expression was much better than in the morning, at least he could tell that he was in a happy mood. However, since Gu Shuyuan put the box on the table, Gu Feng's expression changed, and he stared at the box on the table with a pale face.

Hearing Gu Shuyuan's question, Gu Feng knew that he was finished. His feet became soft and he slid from the chair to the ground.

"Second, second uncle."
