The Chengen Gong couple did not know the Gu family's identity, but Chengen Gong claimed to be sworn brothers with Uncle Gu, so he must also be filial to his brother's parents, right?

Therefore, the manners of these two were absolutely impeccable.

Grandpa Gu greeted the two with a smile, asking them as if they were having a long and tiring journey, and if there was anything they were not used to.

Grandma Gu, along with the younger generation of her daughters-in-law, entertained Princess Kang and Madam Xue.

These two elderly sisters grew up in the capital. While they weren't from a wealthy or powerful family, they frequently visited other people's homes and had their own way of dealing with those they liked and those they didn't.

When they're with someone they like, they'll make you feel absolutely comfortable and not awkward at all.

The group had dinner at the Gu family's house, and Gu Shouxin personally escorted them home with the children.

Upon reaching the new town, the two families parted ways.

Gu Xin pointed to the very end of the alley and said, "Auntie, this is the Xue family's residence, and that's the Kang Prince's Mansion. Sister and Hanhan will show Aunt Xue around, and Sisi and I will take you to the Prince's Mansion!"

Princess Kang: "...Why are our two families so far apart? Are all the houses in between already sold out?"

Gu Xin shook her head: "No! It was Uncle who said that Uncle Kang and Uncle Xue themselves requested that the further apart they were, the better. So, we reserved places at both ends of this street for you. If it weren't for the fact that the west side is all single-courtyard houses, Uncle was planning to give you places on the east and west sides!"

Princess Consort Xue of the Kang Kingdom: "..."

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. There's a reason why Boss Gu can hang out with those two old fogies; first of all, they're smart enough to keep up.

They had just learned from the Gu family that quite a few of the houses had already been sold, so it was no longer possible to change houses now. Therefore, they had no choice but to make do. Fortunately, everyone lived on the east side; otherwise, visiting each other would have required taking a carriage, which would have been quite troublesome!

The two families separated at the Xue residence.

Gu Shouxin accompanied the Kang Prince's family to the Kang Prince's residence. He believed that Gu Nian, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, could explain things clearly.

This new city is different from the cities we've been to before. It has a drainage system, and the houses have sewers. The people who brought their convoy to settle them in must have only told the servants how to use certain places, without showing them the things in the master's room.

Gu Shouxin, along with Gu Xin and Huo Yanyu, accompanied Prince Kang and his wife to Prince Kang's residence. Gu Shouxin naturally accompanied Prince Kang, while Gu Xin and Huo Yanyu accompanied Princess Kang.

After explaining, King Kang pulled Gu Shouxin aside and asked about Gu's uncle's situation.

Princess Kang was no longer at ease. She no longer treated Gu Shouxin and the others as outsiders and directly scolded Prince Kang, "Can't you be more careful? We haven't even learned about our daughter's situation yet, and you're already concerned about Elder Gu?"

If you had shown concern for your daughter first and then asked about Boss Gu, I wouldn't have said anything to you.

Wasn't it just that the cricket that Boss Gu sent back last year was powerful? Was that cricket really that important?

It's just fruit that Boss Gu sent over. Even if it's wilted, it still suits your taste, right? Keep eating, or you'll get fat. I'm taking my daughter and son back to my parents' house. You can go with Boss Gu by yourself!

Oh, right, I forgot, Boss Gu doesn't like ugly people, he likes good-looking people. If you get any fatter, Boss Gu won't want you anymore, and even Lao Xue will dislike you.

...

Gu Shouxin, Gu Xin, and Gu Si were so shocked by the fierce appearance of Princess Kang that they didn't dare to speak for a while and forgot to try to mediate the fight.
