As Bai Lu approached the courtyard gate, she heard Gu Qian and Gu Xiaoran talking inside and stopped in her tracks.
"Susu, Ling'er!" Bailu stopped in her tracks.
"Don't let Gu Qian know I'm here." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a bewildered Qin Susu and Qiu Ling'er.
"Gu...he actually came? No...Sister Bailu, are you afraid of him?"
Before Qin Susu could finish speaking, Bai Lu had already disappeared before their eyes.
To be honest, Qin Susu was also a little afraid of Gu Qian.
The man exuded an air of authority, making her feel uncomfortable every time she met him.
"Ling'er, why did Sister Bailu leave? What did she mean by that?"
Qiu Ling'er: "It seems that my brother-in-law doesn't like Master Bailu very much."
Qin Susu pursed her lips: "Ling'er, if your brother-in-law likes Bai Lu, your sister will be crying."
"No." Qiu Ling'er believed she understood her sister well. "No, it's not a matter of liking or disliking, it's just that brother-in-law seems to have a deep prejudice against Sister Bailu."
"Sigh, this is really complicated. Bai Lu, what exactly did you do to offend Gu the Great Killer?" Qin Susu sighed and peered into the courtyard through the gate.
With her brain, she wouldn't be able to figure it out anyway, so let's not even think about it.
Through the crack in the door, what came into view was a scene of fatherly love and filial piety.
"Father, when are you and Mother getting married?" Gu Xiaoran persisted in the topic from before, clinging to Gu Qian's arms and refusing to leave.
"Master Susu, what are you doing sneaking around like that?" Qiu Ling'er asked in a low voice, clinging to Qin Susu's back.
They didn't look like they were going home; they looked like they were thieves.
This was the first time she had ever done something like this.
Qin Susu turned around and gestured for Qiu Ling'er to be quiet, "Shh, Ling'er, keep your voice down!"
Then, she turned her gaze and stared at Gu Qian without moving, very curious about his reply.
"Mm." Qiu Ling'er behind her didn't move either, afraid of disturbing her sister's conversation with her future brother-in-law.
"It'll be ready soon." As Gu Qian said this, his gaze fell on Qiu Yan, who was busy making medicine in the side room.
Gu Qian was about to leave, and Qiu Yan wanted to make some medicine for him to carry with him.
Outside the courtyard, Qiu Ling'er smiled, quite satisfied with Gu Qian's reply.
When she grows up, she wants to find a great hero like her brother-in-law.
Uh... she's only nine years old, she's thinking a bit too far ahead.
Qin Susu's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
What did Gu Qian just say? Soon?
Is the mistress about to be made the official wife?
She whispered, "No wonder, even His Majesty has taken a liking to Qiu Yan, General Gu must be eager to marry her soon."
"Master Susu, what Emperor? Who has taken a fancy to my sister?" Qiu Ling'er asked, looking up.
"..." Qin Susu shook her head, "Nobody, I was just making it up."
She clearly remembered that last time, His Majesty had come specifically to see Qiu Yan.
Their emperor, however, has always been a womanizer.
It's not surprising that he would be interested in Qiu Yan.
However, she wondered how His Majesty and Qiu Yan had met.
Her mind was filled with images of two men vying for one woman, and she smiled maliciously.
Qiu Yan, you are so charming.
Inside the courtyard, Gu Xiaoran heard Gu Qian's words, and a smile curved her lips as she pressed him for an answer: "How long is 'soon'?"
Gu Qian did not reply directly, but turned to look at the side room and said loudly:
"Yan Yan, you speak."
Qiu Yan looked up at Gu Qian, smiled but said nothing.
Because of Gu Xiaoran, she is no longer opposed to marriage compared to before.
Gu Qian, not hearing a reply, continued speaking to Qiu Yan:
"February 19th, May 15th... August 2nd... October 8th... Yan Yan, which one do you choose? How about August 2nd?"
