Gu Shouxin silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. Dad agrees to Mom going. They'll know when they come back in a few days.
Seeing that Gu Shouxin was serious, Cai Xiaolian didn't think much of it.
After a long day of playing cards, she washed up and went to bed.
Hearing the even breathing around him, Gu Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief.
He quietly got up, put on his clothes, and went to the study.
He couldn't let his mother and two daughters just pass away like this; he still had to make the necessary preparations.
This time, with the help of Ouyang and her daughter, they knew the terrain much more thoroughly.
Based on Ouyang Qing's description, Gu Nian drew a map, which Gu Shouxin was currently studying.
Every gap must be calculated accurately, finding the gap most advantageous for Peng's army to attack.
The powder in Gu Xin's hand could render someone unconscious for three hours, which was perfect since the Goddess Kingdom's shift change was every four hours.
Gu Xin and his grandson could make arrangements within these three hours.
...
On March 11, after being given a makeover by Gu Si, Grandma Gu and Gu Xin changed into the clothes that Ouyang and her daughter usually wore, and set off from the inn with their usual stroller.
Grandma Gu sat in a small cart, and Gu Xin pushed her along.
To avoid sweating and ruining her makeup, Gu Xin ate a jade bead, which allowed her to effortlessly and slowly push Grandma Gu to the ferry crossing outside the West Gate.
No one greeted them along the way. When they ran into Peng Erlang, he didn't even recognize the grandmother and granddaughter.
Grandma Gu was dressed as Old Lady Ouyang; she kept her eyes closed and her face covered with a cloth strip the whole time.
Old Lady Ouyang wasn't blind; she simply had no eyes. Without the cloth covering her eyes, she was quite frightening, so she always appeared in public with the cloth covering her face. Initially, when the mother and daughter came to Kuncheng to do business, the guards at Shennv Mountain would make them remove the cloth for inspection, but after a while, they stopped doing so.
At first, she was very uncomfortable. It's normal for a normal person to feel panicked when suddenly plunged into darkness and into a place they've never been before.
Gu Xin whispered to Grandma Gu where they were.
Gu Xin's voice calmed Grandma Gu down a little.
Gu Xin remembered what Ouyang Qing had said: she never took the initiative to greet people, but sometimes people would talk to her. Ouyang Qing pointed out all the people she had spoken to to Gu Xin.
Therefore, when she encountered other people from the Goddess Kingdom who were also returning home, Gu Xin kept her distance from them and did not approach them to speak. Instead, she kept her head down and pushed Grandma Gu along.
Leading them were members of the Baili family. Once outside the city, the Baili girls boarded carriages, while Gu Nian, disguised as Baili Sixteen, traveled with the carriage. As an unpopular illegitimate daughter, she was not entitled to ride in a carriage.
The three members of the family arrived at the place where the boat was docked.
The boats crossing the river belong to the Goddess Kingdom, and this is the first checkpoint to enter the Goddess Kingdom.
The three of them boarded the ship with ease; Gu Nian didn't even need to produce Baili Shiliu's identity document.
Baili Shiliu was tied up by Gu Nian and placed in her laboratory, where Bai Ba was to watch over her.
After the Baili family boarded the boat, it was full. Gu Xin and Grandma Gu could only board after the boat had taken the people across and brought them back.
She couldn't compete with others for a position. In the eyes of all the Shennv Kingdom people who came to Kuncheng to do business, this blind mother and daughter didn't fight or grab anything. If Gu Xin rashly tried to compete, she would definitely be suspected.
Gu Xin panicked a little. Had she already gotten separated from her sister so soon after coming out?
Grandma Gu, perhaps sensing her anxiety, comforted her, "Even if we don't separate now, we'll have to separate at Shennv Mountain. We've already discussed the rendezvous point, so you have to trust your sister."
