"Maybe she just drove off for a trip. We can wait at her house. Do you think she'll stay out all night?"
Like Qiu Yan, Bai Lu had long suspected that Qin Susu was someone sent by Gu Qian.
"If you're willing to wait, then wait. But don't follow me!"
Qin Susu pouted: "Since she doesn't want to take you with her, why do you insist on going along?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes darkened slightly.
"Her whereabouts are unpredictable!" Qiu Yan didn't want to follow her, which she understood.
Qin Susu: "Ah, is that so... Heroine, slow down, wait for me..."
She really didn't have much strength left.
"Don't follow me!" Bai Lu sped off, trying to shake off the woman behind her.
...
Inside the carriage, Gu Xiaoran, held in Qiu Yan's arms, would sometimes smack her lips and eat snacks, and sometimes lift the curtain to check the movements outside the carriage.
He felt relieved in his heart:
"Great, the bad woman didn't chase after us."
Qiu Yan chuckled and shook her head. "Really?"
Qiu Ling'er followed Gu Xiaoran's movements and looked out the window. Apart from the flying dust and a series of neat tire tracks, there was nothing else.
"Sister, how did you and Sister Bailu meet?" She was really curious. All the people her sister bought were well-behaved, but Bailu was the only one who did things her own way.
Qiu Yan glanced towards the border and said, "I picked it up on the street."
Her words aroused suspicion among the crowd.
"Found it?" Qiu Ling'er was skeptical, but still nodded silently.
"My sister is so lucky." If she could also find such a capable older sister, she could do whatever she wanted from now on.
No, no, no, relying on others is not sustainable; strengthening ourselves is the key.
"Ling'er, are you having bad luck?" Old Mu stroked his beard with one hand, his eyes crinkling with a smile.
At the academy, he was always strict and serious; everyone who saw him treated him with utmost respect.
Now, this old man is being manipulated by a little girl.
Sigh, it's good for his old bones to get some fresh air.
Qiu Ling'er shifted her position closer to Elder Mu and smiled:
"Ling'er is truly fortunate to have received your guidance, sir."
Old Master Mu found these words very agreeable.
He smiled, his eyes narrowed, and continued to feign sleep.
"Sir, Ling'er has a favor to ask of you. Since you're teaching one person anyway, could you take Yu'er with you? Yu'er wants to serve you with Ling'er."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan unconsciously looked at Elder Mu.
Grandpa Mu preferred quiet and wanted to live a more comfortable life in his later years, but he didn't want to help or teach mischievous children.
Xiao Ran, however, is inherently mischievous and hard to change.
Will Grandpa Mu agree?
Gu Xiaoran, the person involved, continued to observe the movements outside the carriage, fearing that the wicked woman in the carriage would catch up with their carriage.
He did not hear the conversation inside the car.
"Yu'er?" Old Master Mu opened his eyes slightly, carefully examining Gu Xiaoran in Qiu Yan's arms. Then, he sat up straight and asked Qiu Ling'er.
"His name is Yu'er?" He noticed the little girl as soon as he got into the carriage, but he didn't ask her anything.
Qiu Ling'er smiled and replied, "Yes, he is Yu'er."
Old Mu didn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes hard, looked at Gu Xiaoran, and shook his head.
"No, no, he's that naughty little kid, Gu Xiaoran."
"Grandpa Mu, Yu'er is Xiao Ran's twin sister."
"A twin sister?" Old Mu rubbed his eyes again and laughed heartily.
"This is clearly Xiao Ran, Ling'er. You've learned to joke around too."
Qiu Ling'er felt a little guilty, but on her face, she wore a mischievous smile.
"Sir, everything I said is true."
