After Gu Xingnuo heard what the doorman said, he hadn't reacted yet when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. He turned around and saw Gu Xinglang riding towards him.
"The prince consort is back!" When the doorman saw Gu Xinglang coming back, he hurriedly shouted into the gate.
Another servant ran out from the door, came to Gu Xinglang's horse, and held the reins for Gu Xinglang.
"Brother," Gu Xinglang got off the horse and walked up to Gu Xingnuo and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Gu Xingnuo looked Gu Xinglang up and down inconspicuously, and there was no blood on Gu Xinglang's clothes.
Gu Xinglang said: "Brother, let's go in and talk."
Gu Xingnuo followed Gu Xinglang into the mansion. Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Wei came up with a team of guards.
Seeing that Gu Xingnuo was also there, Xiao Wei hurriedly saluted to Young Master Gu.
"I'm going to talk to Xinglang, you guys go and have a rest," Gu Xingnuo accepted Xiao Wei's greeting and let Xiao Wei leave.
Xiao Wei looks after Xing Lang.
Gu Xinglang nodded and said, "Go ahead, I have nothing to do here."
Xiao Wei just thought that Young Master Gu had something to discuss with his own prince consort, and without saying anything more, he retreated with the guards.
The two brothers walked side by side to the mansion. Gu Xingnuo asked Gu Xinglang, "What were you doing in the middle of the night?"
Gu Xinglang shook the cloth bag in his hand towards Gu Xingnuo and said, "Sweet potatoes."
"What?" Young Master Gu asked, "You stayed up late at night and went to dig sweet potatoes?"
Gu Xinglang yawned in front of his elder brother and said, "Isn't it time to plant sweet potatoes now? Where can I go to dig sweet potatoes? The princess wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so I went to buy some."
"Are there any shops open so late at night?" Gu Xingnuo asked.
Gu Xinglang said expressionlessly: "Just knock on the door."
In the middle of the night, you went to knock on the door and disturb people's sleep just for stuttering? Young Master Gu glared at his little brother.
Gu Xinglang also knew that he was overdoing it, so he emphasized to Master Gu: "The princess said that she couldn't sleep if she couldn't eat."
Gu Xingnuo's mouth twitched and he said, "Princess, are you still awake?"
Gu Xinglang said: "No, she wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes right now."
In the spiritual treasure house of mankind, there is a spirit of foodie. It’s a pity that Young Master Gu doesn’t know it, so he doesn’t understand Her Royal Highness the Princess’s persistence in not going to bed until she can eat roasted sweet potatoes.
The two brothers walked into the corridor, the lanterns above their heads swaying in the wind. Gu Xinglang looked at the cloth bag of sweet potatoes in his hand, but Gu Xingnuo, in the light which was brighter than the one in front of the gate, saw at a glance that half of the nail on Gu Xinglang's right index finger was missing.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Gu Xingnuo asked as he pulled Gu Xinglang's right hand closer to take a closer look.
Gu Xinglang looked at his hands in surprise and said, "What's going on?"
Gu Xingnuo lowered his head and said, "Half of your nail is missing. Doesn't it hurt?"
Gu Xinglang pulled his hand out of his elder brother's hand and stared at his own hand, looking confused. There were blood lumps on the injured finger. As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, but Gu Xinglang didn't feel any pain.
Seeing Gu Xinglang's extremely confused expression, Gu Xingnuo felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and reached out to pinch Gu Xinglang's injured finger.
This time, Gu Xinglang felt what it meant to have his heart connected to his fingers. Caught off guard, Young Master Gu almost cried out in pain.
"Don't you feel the pain?" Young Master Gu asked his brother, "What's wrong with your injury?"
Losing half a nail was a trivial matter in Gu Xinglang's eyes. Shaking his head, Young Master Gu said to Young Master Gu, "I don't know. I probably hurt myself accidentally. I don't remember it."
The words "I don't remember" sounded like a curse in Gu Xingnuo's ears. Gu Xinglang would not remember what he did when he lost control. This man was really... Gu Xingnuo didn't dare to think any further and asked Gu Xinglang, "Where is the sachet your father left for you? Take it out so I can see it."
Although he didn't know why his elder brother suddenly wanted to see his jade sachet, Gu Xinglang still touched his waist. Then he was stunned and looked down. The place on his waist where the jade sachet was usually hung was empty. His jade sachet was gone.
Gu Xingnuo said: "Gone?"
Gu Xinglang looked back at where he was walking and said, "Maybe he fell on it."
"You didn't even know the sachet was lost?" Gu Xingnuo forced himself to speak in a normal voice and asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said in annoyance: "I don't know, I didn't notice it."
Didn't notice and I didn't remember, these meant the same thing to Mr. Gu.
Gu Xinglang turned around and was about to leave, saying, "I'll go look for it."
“No need,” Gu Xingnuo held Gu Xinglang’s jade sachet in his hand, and with force, he pinched the hollow jade sachet into two halves. How could such a thing, which was taken from the hands of a dead person, and who died suddenly, be worn on the body all year round?
Gu Xinglang turned around and looked at his elder brother again.
Gu Xingnuo opened his hands and let Gu Xinglang see the broken jade sachet.
Gu Xinglang felt distressed when he saw his jade sachet in such a state. It was not that the jade sachet was valuable, but it was passed down by General Gu, and he had worn it since he was a child. Young Master Gu frowned and asked, "How did it break?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "I picked it up on the Internet. When I saw it, it was already like this."
Gu Xinglang stretched out his hand to break the jade.
Gu Xingnuo put his hand down again.
"Brother?" Gu Xinglang didn't understand what his elder brother meant.
"I'll find someone to fix it," Young Master Gu whispered, "If it can't be fixed, don't even think about using it anymore."
Gu Xinglang said: "Don't bother me, I'll find someone to fix it myself."
"What's wrong with you recently?" Gu Xingnuo suddenly frowned and looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "Damn it, if you go to the battlefield again, do you think I can trust you?!"
"I," Gu Xinglang thought hard but couldn't remember when he lost his jade sachet.
"Did you go buy sweet potatoes just now?" Gu Xingnuo asked again.
Gu Xinglang said: "Yeah, I have nowhere else to go in the middle of the night."
Gu Xingnuo turned his head to look at the flowers outside the corridor, and then said to Gu Xinglang: "Prepare more food at home in the future. You went to the store and knocked on the door in the middle of the night. You are disturbing the neighbors!"
Gu Xinglang lowered his head after being scolded by Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Xingnuo said, "You and the princess have only been living separately for a short time. If you have any questions, just listen to Nanny Wang. You also need to learn how to manage your own household."
Gu Xinglang muttered, "Mammy was sent to the palace by you."
"What did you say?" Young Master Gu's voice suddenly rose.
Gu Xinglang shut up. From childhood to adulthood, although this older brother loved him, he was never lenient when it came to punishing or scolding him.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight that disturbed the people," Gu Xingnuo thought for a moment and said, "Tell the princess about this and say that I said it."
Gu Xinglang nodded.
"Go and roast sweet potatoes with the princess," Young Master Gu patted Gu Xinglang's shoulder and walked towards the gate of the mansion. He wanted to find a place to think about this and think about what he should do.
