Chương 21: He Has Fallen for the Girl, It Seems!

"Mister, you can have your officers search Xijiu’s courtyard. However, before you proceed, we must assign someone to search the bodies of your officers. What if one of them was connected to people who scheme to tarnish Xijiu's name and intentionally planted a foreign object during the search? If such a thing were to happen - a foreign object planted somewhere in the courtyard and someone were to discover it, whatever Xijiu says in defence of it would be pointless!"
Master Hu remained silent.
He said angrily, "There are no such people among my subordinates!"
Rong Che waved his folding fan and commented, "Master Hu, though Miss Gu's concern would involve an additional step, it does make sense. To ease her mind, why don't you give in to her request, Master Hu?"
Master Hu grunted, "Fine! I shall play along with this but this will be the only time!" He then waved his hand towards the subordinate behind him and commanded, "Perform a search amongst yourselves. See if there are any suspicious objects in your possession!"
There was a total of ten subordinates under him who stood behind him. Nothing seemed uncanny about the way they looked save for one guy with a round, chubby face with his furrowed eyebrows. His expression began to change just as his body began to show signs of resistance.
Gu Xijiu, a gold class assassin had eyesight as sharp as an eagle's and she pointed her pinky towards the offending subordinate and said, "Search him first!"
The man took a step backwards as his face flushed a crimson-red, "My... My body, what is there to search?" Gu Xijiu smirked and commented, "If you're not guilty, why would you even be afraid of a search?"
Rong Che closed his folding fan, "You're right, his reluctance to cooperate to the search does indeed feel a little fishy."
The enchanting prince continued his defence of her as Gu Xijiu shot a glare at him. Rong Che swung the folding fan around and smiled in her direction, his eyes like the cresent moon as he smiled.
Gu Xijiu remained without emotion as she moved away from his gaze, seemingly unaffected by his flirtatious smile and advances.
Rong Che touched his nose. The moment he entered the quarters, nine out of ten of the ladies in the room turned their gazes in his direction. His elegant clothes had attracted the attention of all the ladies but among all of them, she was the only one who ignored him and his advances. He had never thought he would meet such a lady.
Never would he ever thought that he would find someone so interesting even though he stepped into the crowd out of boredom.
Rumor has it that the daughter of the first wife of the Gu family was ugly, daft, and uncharismatic. However, it would seem like these rumors were unfounded.
Looking at her in person, the birthmark on her forehead did seem a little ugly but her raven-black hair covered it, hiding it well. This enhanced her other features - her big, round eyes, her small mouth and the snow white complexion she had to her skin. She could indeed be a true beauty.
To top it off, she was alert, clever, clear in her thoughts, logical and had a sharp tongue. The word stupid would not even fit in her description. The people who called her rubbish because she had little to no spiritual talent was... probably right. However, those who have moved on to become a huge success were usually those with wits and those who merely depended on raw strength, would end up as brutes. Even if she lacked any spiritual talent, her wits alone would help her emerge on the top...
Beautiful ladies were commonplace but a smart lady, that was truly a rare gem.
Yes. Indeed, he seemed to have fallen for the girl. Rong Che was very interested.
To rid suspicion on himself, Master Hu naturally ordered the rest to search the man with the round, fat face and with little effort, they managed to find a male underwear in the inner pockets of his shirt. It was presented before Master Hu.
Master Hu frowned and said, "What are you doing with such an object?!"
Chương 22: I'd Like A Tight One

Beads of sweat drenched his forehead as he said, "My respectful Master, I've gotten a change earlier this morning and accidentally put it in my pocket. I did not intend to do such a thing. Please, give me a chance. Please!"
Master Hu frowned and said, "That’s possible…"
However, as Gu Xijiu judged the round faced man, she looked at the underwear, smiled and said, "Are you saying that the underwear belongs to you?"
"Ye… Yes."
"Are you sure it can fit you?" Gu Xijiu said slowly.
Based on the size of his body, he seemed to be around 80 kilograms and the underwear seemed to belong to someone who was quite slim. How could such a fat person fit into these? It would definitely tear if he insisted on putting it on.
The fatty turned pale but insisted on his story, "I.. I like to wear tight ones..."
Gu Xijiu laughed at his comment and said, "I see. That is possible. So I'm guessing you're wearing a tight one today as well? Master Hu, what do you think?"
Master Hu looked at him calmly and waved to his men, "Bring him down here and check him!"
A short moment later, the subordinate who inspected him came back and reported, "Master, he's wearing underwear that seems to fit him well. It doesn't look tight but instead, might even be a size larger."
Everyone had a rough idea of what was happening at that moment. Rong Che sighed and said, "Something seems off. It would seem like someone has bribed him and tried to exploit Miss Gu. Master Hu is always strict and fair. I believe he will give the Gu family a good explanation of what is going on."
Gu Xietian snorted. Though he did not like this daughter, he did not want the family's reputation to be dragged down as well, "Master Hu, I think your retinue has some problems. I think it's best you find out the details of what is going on."
It was beyond his expectation that his retinue would be bribed. He felt a deep shame as his face turned a crimson red. He bent down and said, "Don't worry my Eighth Prince and General Gu. There will not be any favoritism in this matter. I'll definitely find out the mastermind behind this!"
Gu Xijiu gently smiled and said, "I've heard that Master Hu puts fairness and justice above all else. Everyone in the city knows of this, that Master Hu is a great officer. You have so many subordinates and it's different to watch over every single one. We shouldn't put the blame on Master Hu."
Her words impressed Master Hu greatly and he got quite a good impression of her instantly.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to perform a search on each other on the spot before Gu Xijiu began talking about anything else.
A moment later, the inspection ended as they did not find anything suspicious.
Master Hu said calmly, "Miss Gu, we have to search your residence as well to ensure your reputation is not tarnished."
Gu Xijiu was perfectly fine with that and said, "Please, go ahead."
About 10 retinues divided themselves into a few groups and began their search.
Gu Xijiu was leaning on a pillar and was watching their expressions closely.
All her younger sisters
All her younger sisters were happily watching the excitement.
Gu Tianqing maintained her gentle, polite expression but she would look at Rong Yan every once in a while.
