77 Oaths

No sooner had the county magistrate left than Huang Zhong arrived.

"Marquis! Marquis!"

"How come it's just you? Where's the child?"

"Almost been swindled! The Gu Family deceived us!" Huang Zhong told the story of how the Gu Family had sent a decoy, "Luckily, we ran into brother Xiaoshun, otherwise we would have made a mistake again!"

The Marquis was livid. Very well, these people were asking for death! He would deal with them later!

"Are you deaf when I ask you something?" The Marquis glared at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong sneered, wasn't he hesitant about recognizing the child at first? Why was he so anxious now?

Huang Zhong took out a lifelike wooden carving from his bosom: "Brother Xiaoshun gave it to me, he said this is the young miss!"

The last wooden carving had been given to the head of the courtyard's old mother, and then Gu Xiaoshun carved a new one, which had not yet been presented to Gu Jiao.
