2140 Chapter 2140-why are you doing this?

When the people from the Wang family saw Gu Xin’s token, they stuck their heads out to take a look before quickly going in to report. The Butler came out to welcome them.

“Greetings, Princess Xinxin. Long live Your Highness!” The Butler stepped forward and bowed to Gu Xin.

“No need to be so polite! Has the residence prepared food? We’ve been traveling through the night, so we’re hungry.” Gu Xin waved her hand and said in a friendly manner.

“Second master has already ordered people to be ready at all times. I just don’t know when your Highness will arrive, so I can’t go to welcome you. Please forgive me, Your Highness.” The Butler lowered his head and welcomed Gu Xin and the rest into the house.

There weren’t many people in Gu Xin’s group either. Constable Gao had brought he gang and he Qiang to the government office, so there were only Gu Xin, Zheng Qiu, Dong Xue, Bai Yi, and Bai er left.

“Is second master making the decisions in your residence now? Where’s the princess?” Gu Xin asked as she walked.

“Your Highness, after the Crown Prince passed away from illness, the princess Consort devoted herself to Buddhism and did not care about the world. Everything inside and outside the residence was decided by the second master and second taitai.” The Butler said.

“Oh.” Gu Xin nodded and did not ask further.

The Prince of Donglin had died of illness, but the Prince of Donglin was still alive, and so was the princess Consort. The second branch was actually in charge of the internal and external Affairs? This was worth pondering.

Walking past the front yard, the people of the Wang Residence came out to welcome them.

The princess of Donglin didn’t appear, but the rest of her descendants all came out, including Bai Baozhu, her husband, and her child, who insisted on finding out the truth. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Xin’s eyes swept across the crowd and matched them with Zheng Qiu’s introduction last night. The second elder also took the initiative to introduce them to Gu Xin.

Your Highness, I’ve already sent people to guard father’s Secret chamber. I can guarantee that nothing has been touched since the discovery. Only the prefect of tai state has brought people to investigate. Bai Baozhu stepped forward and said after the second elder finished his introduction.

“Little sister, His Highness has traveled through the night, so let His Highness rest! You’re already here, why do you have to do this?” The second elder looked at Bai Baozhu with disapproval.

Bai Baozhu wanted to refute, but she pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Gu Xin smiled, ” it’s alright. Although we’ve traveled through the night, I’ve been resting in the carriage. But I’m indeed hungry. Let’s talk while we eat. The Emperor handed this case to me, so I can’t slack off and let the Emperor down. I can’t waste time and let Wangye not rest in peace.”

After a short pause, Gu Xin continued, ” how about this? Princess Baozhu, accompany us for a meal first. After we’re done eating, the second elder Bai will bring me to the secret chamber. How about that? ”

Since Gu Xin had already said so, there was no reason for the Bai family to disagree.

Bai Baozhu’s good impression of Gu Xin rose because she was the first one to question her.

She had a straightforward personality and always thought that first impressions were very important. She was worried that what her brothers said would make Gu Xin think that her father died of an emergency. Now, she could point out her suspicions. As long as she pointed them out first, she was not afraid that Gu Xin would think that her father died of an emergency.

Gu Xin called for Zheng Qiu, Bai Yi, and Bai er to sit down together. Since Dong Xue insisted on not sharing the same table with her master, Gu Xin asked Bai Baozhu to send someone to take Dong Xue to her room and have a meal with her.

“Princess Bao Zhu, I heard the Grand Empress Dowager talk about you when I was in the capital. She said that I would be able to see you again on her eightieth birthday this year, but I didn’t expect this to happen. Please restrain your grief, Princess.” Gu Xin picked up her chopsticks and said to Bai Baozhu.
