After a while, Qin Yuan asked, "What did the Marquis say?"
Gu Shiliu replied, "The Marquis said to keep a closer watch on the Xu family."
Qin Yuan nodded, seemingly agreeing that it was the only course of action.
Gu Shiliu said, "The girl the Xu family wants to send to the King Jin Mansion is called Xu Yuan. She's about the same age as Xu Zhen, maybe a bit older. There's no adult in her family, so she's raised at Mr. Xu's house. Her biological brother is called Xu Tang. It's said that Yelv Guza appreciates him and even asked the scholar to recommend him to work at Prince Qi Mansion, which Prince Qi certainly wouldn't refuse."
Qin Yuan nodded. Prince Qi is the former Crown Prince's full brother. Now that the Crown Prince, born to Empress Lin, is frail, the Emperor feels guilty and wary towards Prince Qi. Prince Qi must not be too ambitious.
Xu Tang can play cuju, and with the scholar's recommendation, indeed, it's unlikely to be refused.
