The old Marquis was not aware of the return of Madam Yao and her son to the Capital City, thinking they were still at the Hot Springs Villa, and therefore had not sent them any messages.
He began to question his son and three grandchildren: "What are all these rumors spreading in the Capital City about?"
He was shocked to discover that during his absence from the Capital City, numerous significant events had occurred in the Marquis Residence.
The first of which was the real background of Gu Jinyu. It was unsettling to learn that the child they had been raising was not theirs.
Then came the matter concerning Aunt Ling.
This also explained why Gu Chenglin had changed.
Aunt Ling had already been dealt with by the Old Madam Gu. Whether she was alive or dead, the old Marquis didn't ask. He didn't have the time to concern himself with a concubine.
As for his real granddaughter, who was unwilling to return to the Residence, he didn't care much about that either.
