Chapter 435: 219 Grandfather (First Night Watch)_3

The parcel in Marquis Gu's hand fell to the ground with a thud; it was the present he had prepared for the Yao Family.

"Dad Dad Dad Dad...when did you get back?"

He was so nervous he started to stutter.

The Marquis Senior shot Marquis Gu a piercing glance: "Shouldn't you be at the Yamen at this hour?"

There was no morning assembly today, but the Yamen hadn't taken the day off.

Marquis Gu's cold sweat was pouring out layer upon layer: "I... am going there now."

Marquis Senior glanced at the jewelry scattered on the ground: "Just taking these things along?"

Marquis Gu instantly went from stuttering to mute.

Why was his luck so bad? The first time he played hooky, he was busted by his own father...

On his way back to the capital, Marquis Senior had heard a basketful of rumors about his residence, and he was fuming. Marquis Gu being caught at this particular moment was practically like courting death.
