Xiao Mingyue is the future queen of the Goddess Kingdom, and Queen Dugu only has this one daughter. She is getting old and may not have any more children.
Not only did the princes and princesses of the Western Kingdoms dare not provoke her, but the princes and princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the scions of noble families, also dared not provoke her.
With Grandma Gu's connection, the Empress Dowager really likes Dugu Mingyue. She's made it clear that she doesn't care what tricks the rest of you have up your sleeves, but if you make little Mingyue uncomfortable, she'll make your whole family uncomfortable.
When this news spread, every household told their children not to offend Princess Mingyue of the Goddess Kingdom. She was just a child; a beating or a scolding wouldn't hurt. They should give way to her, just like they would to their younger sister.
The students of the Royal Academy wanted to say that a beating hurts the body, but a scolding hurts the heart.
Seriously, one is a venomous snake, and the other is brute force; they could easily injure someone both physically and mentally.
"Hey, Xinxin, you're back? If you hadn't come back, I was going to go to the yamen to find you!" At this moment, Cheng Huaijin came out of the Gu residence, saw the two of them, and jogged over.
"Brother, did my father send you to find me?" Gu Xin asked.
"Yes. Grandpa was worried because you hadn't come back! Uncle said he plans to visit Lord Qin tomorrow to see what kind of work Lord Qin has arranged for you," Cheng Huaijin said with a smile.
"Are they all asleep yet?" Gu Xin looked up at the sky. It was really late; the moon had already moved to a different position.
“My second uncle and aunt haven’t gone to sleep yet, but my grandparents and eldest uncle have. I came out to check on them, and they know that Brother Yuan will definitely come to pick you up,” Cheng Huaijin said.
"Future brother-in-law, I've delivered him. You must protect him well!" Lu Zheng patted Cheng Huaijin on the shoulder.
Having been in the capital for so long, Cheng Huaijin's temperament is no longer as dull as before, and he has slowly regained his youthful spirit.
"Don't worry!" Cheng Huaijin pounded his chest and assured him.
Then the three said goodbye.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were still busy in the study when Gu Xin, feeling guilty, knocked on the door and went in.
"So you know how to come back? I thought our detective goddess was stuck in the yamen!" Gu Shouxin glanced at Gu Xin and said.
"Xinxin, why did Lord Qin put you in charge of the case? Can you handle it? If you can't, have your father talk to Lord Qin. A young lady should eat and rest on time." Cai Xiaolian, who was engrossed in drawing, looked up and asked worriedly.
"Father, Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you!" Gu Xin said from the bottom of her heart.
The couple exchanged a glance. Wow, this girl is acting a bit strange today. Shouldn't she usually be clinging to them and acting all cute at this time?
"Father, Mother, today's case involved a young girl who had just come of age. When I arrived, her parents hadn't arrived yet. Later, they received the news..." Gu Xin recounted the scene and shared her thoughts.
Indeed, hearing Madam Xie's sorrowful cries and seeing her blank expression, Gu Xin felt inexplicably heartbroken. She couldn't even imagine how sad her parents would be if something happened to her!
Therefore, she will definitely protect herself and will never let her parents be in such a situation.
"Alas, the poor child!" Cai Xiaolian sighed, feeling deeply sorry for him.
A young girl who had just reached the age of fifteen, which could be said to be the beginning of her life, was gone just like that.
