"I don't know!" Qu Huaiyun shook his head, "It was certainly in the Yi Mansion before, but after Yi Lanshan learned about Yi Yuanmin, he suddenly had a stroke, which means the treasure map is no longer in the Yi Mansion."
"I understand Yi Lanshan. Even if he knew his favorite grandson was kidnapped, he couldn't have been so angry as to have a stroke unless the treasure map was gone. Without the treasure map, the Yi Family's path into officialdom won't be so smooth. And with Yi Yuanmin being kidnapped, without the treasure map to ransom him back, it completely extinguished the Yi Family's hope, thus causing the stroke."
Gu Chengyu nodded; Qu Huaiyun's analysis was very accurate.
Yi Lanshan's stroke is certainly related to the theft of the treasure map, but Gu Chengyu wouldn't feel guilty. This is called serving one's master and fulfilling one's duties.
