Gu Yanfei straightened her dress a little and ignored the cat. She followed the old woman who came to report to her to the hall of the outer courtyard.
From afar, she saw the patriarch in a green robe walking back and forth in the hall. Even if he didn't say a word, he couldn't hide the uneasiness and discomfort in his heart with every move.
Seeing Gu Yanfei walk over, the patriarch's old face revealed a fawning smile.
"Yanfei, you asked someone to call me over. Is there anything urgent?" the patriarch asked kindly. He no longer had the air of an elder and lowered his posture.
Ever since Gu Jian and the others were locked in the imperial prison, everyone in the clan could be said to be in a panic. They were afraid that one day, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would also rush to their house to take them away and let them be punished with Gu Jian.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Yanfei sent someone to pass the message, the patriarch couldn't wait to come.
