Xie Ling tidied her clothes and when she looked up, she saw Gu Wei staring at her with undisguised aggression in his eyes.

Gu Wei opened his thin lips slightly.

"A Ling, I really want to be... my wife right now."

Xie Ling looked at the heat rising in his eyes and quickly raised her hand to stop his lips, "No more kissing. The more you kiss, the more uncomfortable you will feel. If you can't get relief, it will also be harmful to that place."

Gu Wei leaned close to Xie Ling's ear and whispered something.

"But as soon as I saw you... I couldn't help it..."

The following words made Xie Ling's ears burn.

She said seriously, "That's because you are young and energetic."

Gu Wei's eyes showed some grievance, "A Ling, I will be twenty-five soon."

Xie Ling comforted him, "Be good, we'll talk about this when we get back to Sinan. We're in the carriage now, and there are quite a few people outside."

"I know."

Xie Ling refused to let him kiss her, so Gu Wei took her hand and gave her a solemn kiss. "I don't want our first time to be in a place like this, so we have to prepare well. Ah Ling, I can bear it."

After she finished speaking, she looked overly well-behaved, her peach blossom eyes sparkling as if they were shining with stars.

Xie Ling felt very soft-hearted, and looked at him with a smile and said, "Which monarch can act cute?"

"Xie Ling's."

Gu Wei leaned back and rested on Xie Ling's knees, his eyes smiling and his voice gentle.

Xie Ling felt as if she had eaten honey.

I couldn't help but touch Gu Wei's long, smooth hair like satin, and agreed with him like I was coaxing a child: "Yeah, you're still like a child even though you're this old."

…….

The two probably hadn't seen each other for a long time. In the following days, every move they made was as sweet as honey and oil, and any random words they said could make the other person giggle.

When it’s time to eat, Gu Wei asks Xie Ling to feed him.

When walking, Gu Wei would hold her hand.

Even when tying his hair every morning, Gu Wei would have Xie Ling tie it for him personally.

He always sticks to Xie Ling anytime and anywhere, wishing he could hang on her and be inseparable from her.

Along the way, the Gu family's generals had eaten enough dog food that they felt very jealous when they saw the two of them.

………

The convoy was getting farther and farther away from Dongling.

At the Nangong family, Nangong Rui woke up three days later.

The moment he woke up, the memories of the past few days flooded into his mind and he felt a splitting headache.

After recalling what he had done, he became so angry that his face turned red, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and he almost fainted.

Nangong Haitang actually used him to do such a thing. Nangong Rui was upright and honest, and half buried in the ground. He thought he could die with a clean reputation, but now, his reputation has been ruined!

After Nangong Yu received the news, he immediately rushed from the study to Nangong Ruizheng's bedroom.

Half squatting in front of the bed, patiently comforting the old man who fainted from anger.

After the old man calmed down, he told him what had happened during this period.

From Xie Ling being the real little sister, to Xu Haitang being captured, to the bloody Yin soldiers’ raid, to the Nangong family being murdered, to Gu Wei’s rescue…

Nangong Ruizheng was able to remain calm at first, but after hearing the end, the expression on his face could only be described as earth-shattering.

All the surprises in his first half of life combined were not half as shocking as what he felt today.

The old man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Nangong family, what's the current situation?"

Nangong Yu patted Nangong Ruizheng's hand and said in a soothing voice: "Don't worry, Grandfather. I'll take care of everything. The Nangong family's army has returned to the capital. Even if the enemies in the dark want to take action, they must consider their own weight."

Nangong Rui was looking at his eldest grandson.

Unknowingly, the young boy who followed behind him and pretended to be mature turned into a man who could truly support a family.

Nangong Ruizheng placed his hand on the top of his head and finally sighed, "Thank you for your hard work these days and for not disappointing grandfather. Your little sister..."

Nangong Ruizheng said with a guilty tone, "Did she insist on leaving? You didn't try to stop her?"

Nangong Yu’s eyes dimmed.

"Of course, my grandson tried to keep her, but my little sister already has a family, and that place... is her home. But I gave her a lot of treasures, and I believe that with so many things, no one will dare to bully her."

Nangong Ruizheng sighed deeply.

"We are the ones who have wronged her. Do you know where her husband's home is?"

Nangong Yu shook his head, "No. But my brother-in-law is extremely talented and has a heavenly appearance. He must come from a top force in the world. He is either a royal noble or a hidden family."

Nangong Ruizheng stroked his beard and nodded, "That's good. If that's the case, you must have heard of the Nangong family's name and would not dare to look down on your sister. Do you have any guesses about the mastermind behind the Blood Yin Soldiers?"

A cold look flashed across Nangong Yu's eyes.

"I have a guess, and I have found evidence that proves my guess. Grandfather, who did you guess?"

Nangong Rui was frowning.

Nangong Yu: "Grandfather, please speak freely."

Nangong Ruizheng then sighed and said slowly: "But King Ji?"

Nangong Yu: "Grandfather is wise. The royal family has long been dissatisfied with the aristocratic families controlling the government, but I didn't expect that they had been planning for nearly a hundred years... What shocked me most was the power behind King Ji!"

"What?" Nangong Ruizheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Nangong Yu's eyebrows were full of worry. "According to my investigation, Prince Ji is actually involved with multiple forces such as Guangyao Palace, the Colosseum, and Yaoshen Valley! Grandfather, this is definitely not something that the Dongling royal family can achieve!"

Nangong Ruizheng's expression changed drastically.

"Then his target is not just the aristocratic family, but he has other ambitions... Ah Yu, do you think the Nangong family can contend with so many forces?"

Nangong Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly.

"It would be fine if it was just the royal family, but if so many forces unite together..."

Nangong Yu's voice suddenly rose.

"But Grandfather, everything depends on human efforts. I will do my best to protect the Nangong family!"

Nangong Ruizheng's eyes were sharp, "Well. Now that the secret enemy has been revealed, let's wait and see what happens... Hey, wait?"

He looked confused, "Why do I feel like my chest doesn't hurt, my head isn't dizzy, and I have the strength to speak?"

Nangong Yu also reacted. His grandfather was so emotional today, but he didn’t faint from anger?

If it was my grandfather's previous health, he would have fainted under such emotional excitement...

Could it be——

Nangong Yu said anxiously: "Grandfather, I will find a doctor to see you!"

After a while, the doctor's diagnosis came out. Nangong Ruizheng was very healthy and had no serious illness!
