Gu Shaoyu knew that Xie Zhaozhao was hiding many things from him.
For example, that courtyard in Tianhou Lane in the South City.
She even found a little beggar to keep an eye on things there. The little beggar even had a sniper head, and Yuanyuan would visit the little beggar once every now and then.
Although he had instructed Bei Chen and the guards not to spy on Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Shaoyu still felt a pang of jealousy.
I wonder why Xie Zhaozhao was monitoring that courtyard. Could it be that she still has feelings for Gu Chengyan?
On the day of the marriage proposal after the Shangsi Festival, he met Xie Zhaozhao by chance in the Xie family garden. He immediately recognized her as his "destiny" and begged the old lady to help him propose to Xie Zhaozhao.
It could be considered as breaking her up with Gu Chengyan. Even if she didn't say it, was she always thinking about Gu Chengyan?
However, he later heard that it wasn't him who broke them up, but the Living Buddha Yuanji!
Am I just too old?
So when she calls herself "Grandpa," does she really think she's an old man?
Grand Secretary Gu, who had never doubted himself since childhood, was now starting to lose confidence.
He walked to the Renshou Mirror in the palace, stood in front of the huge bronze mirror, and looked himself up and down.
She doesn't age at all! Her hair is jet black, she doesn't have a single wrinkle, and her teeth are perfectly white and straight.
Tall, refined, and dignified, he was also self-disciplined and ambitious... He was far superior to someone like Gu Chengyan, who was all show and no substance.
He slowly moved from in front of the mirror to outside the hall, looking out with an air of authority, without uttering a sound.
Xie Zhaozhao, in this lifetime, no matter who you like, I will never let go.
Even if you never like me in your entire life, it doesn't matter, as long as I like you.
I will indulge you, give you freedom, and let you do whatever you want—oh no, I won't allow you to leave me!
I will spoil you, an endless number of times, until I can no longer spoil you.
I will wait for you, I will give you time. I don't want you to "marry under orders" or "live in a life of perfect harmony." I want you to treat me as your number one...
Qingpuyuan.
Yuanyuan was feeding a bowl of grain to the robin in a cage under the eaves. The cage was covered with a straw curtain, so the birds had food and water and weren't cold. However, she was a little puzzled because Xiaoxin's robin hadn't come back for a long time.
"Miss, I'm going to check on things in the south. Why hasn't Xiao Xin sent any messages? Has something happened to him?"
Xie Zhaozhao said, "Then you should go and check quickly. If it affects his safety, then some things should be stopped."
Yuanyuan led her horse out of the mansion, and seeing that no one was following her, she ran all the way to the south of the city to find Xiaoxin.
As soon as Xiaoxin saw her, he said anxiously, "Sister Yuanyuan, why are you so late?"
"Huh? Why haven't you answered me? There's been no response from over there?"
Shin-chan was stunned: "I already told you! I released the bird a few days ago."
"I didn't receive it; the bird hasn't gone back!"
"Oh no, Sister Yuanyuan, our messenger bird has been captured!" Xiaoxin didn't know where to begin with the information, so he blurted out, "The family in Tianhou Lane has moved away."
"Moved away? Where did you move to?" Yuanyuan immediately asked him what had happened in the past few days. "Tell me little by little, from the beginning, don't rush me."
Xiao Xin said, "I forgot to mention something last time. That woman brought back several hundred catties of something from the Nanzhao Kingdom. They kept mentioning the Panacea, and I guess it's that thing. They also mentioned that the Crown Prince should take it to control him."
Shin-chan told Yuan-yuan everything he had heard.
Unfortunately, Shin-chan is illiterate, and all he can record are some symbols of his own. After a while, he himself doesn't know what those circles, crosses, and checkmarks mean.
Yuanyuan bought a bag of meat buns and half a pot of hot oil tea, placed them in front of him, and said, "Eat and think about it slowly, I'll remember it."
Xiaoxin said everything he could remember this time, and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Sister Yuanyuan, I remember now! The robin is missing! Someone must have kidnapped it! I bet someone smashed the robin's nest!"
The day before yesterday, he was lying in ambush in a snowdrift eavesdropping when suddenly, for some unknown reason, a pile of snow with a brick attached hit him, knocking him down into the snowdrift.
He looked around but saw no one. He stood up, shook off the snow, and came back to find that his old listening tablet had also been damaged.
"Without the old man's 'listening ear,' I'm practically deaf. I'm thinking about getting a new one," Xiao Xin said. "But there's no one left in courtyard number three!!"
Xiao Xin got blisters on his lips because he was so anxious. He couldn't hear Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan's conversation anymore.
Shin-chan is actually quite perceptive. Hearing that something was wrong, he wondered if he had been discovered by someone from the Imperial City Guard.
He hid in the dilapidated temple for two days, but found that no one paid any attention to him. So he mustered up his courage again and climbed over the wall to peek into the No. 3 courtyard. He found that the courtyard was deserted and no one was there.
Following Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying's original plan to move to the East City, Xiao Xin boldly searched along the streets and alleys of the East City, but couldn't find it.
Shin-chan suddenly received so much new information that he was anxious for Yuan-yuan to come every day.
Yuanyuan took a notebook and pen and told Xiaoxin to think hard and not miss any clues. Yuanyuan wrote down everything she could think of.
Until Shin-chan can no longer remember.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I heard from Weng that they've moved again, and I might not be able to get any news from them."
Xiaoxin felt quite regretful, as he had finally managed to get through a warm winter thanks to this.
"Don't worry, and don't bother Tingweng anymore. Just stay in the hut and don't go out unnecessarily. I'll find you some work to do later."
The news is important, but Xiaoxin's safety is the most important. If anyone comes to him and asks why he was eavesdropping, he should say that he was eavesdropping on Gu Chengyan and that woman fighting like cats and dogs.
