At the beginning of the Yin hour, Xue Qianyu brought Gu Nian to the prefectural city.
As soon as they stopped at the city gate, Gu Nian took advantage of Xue Qianyu taking the token to jump off her horse and then ran to the city wall to vomit.
Gatekeeper: Miss, could you please throw up somewhere further away? We still have two more hours before our shift ends, ugh~
Seeing the token Xue Qianyu was holding, they dared not speak.
Xue Qianyu dismounted and went over to pat her on the back.
Gu Nian waved his hand away.
Xue Qianyu raised an eyebrow: "The cold wind blew, and you threw up the alcohol. Are you sober now?"
Gu Nian stared at Xue Qianyu expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Xue Qianyu's expression was a little strange, but he quickly recovered and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Nian followed him over, and she looked at Xue Qianyu: "You ride by yourself, I'll walk."
As he spoke, he headed towards the city gate.
Xue Qianyu grabbed her arm: "You ride, you're sober now, you ride, I'll lead the horse."
He was about to help Gu Nian onto the horse when Gu Nian nimbly mounted, and before Xue Qianyu could even pull the reins, she shouted, "Hold on!"
"Xue Xiao'er, I'll borrow your fine steed for a bit. Go get it from my father tomorrow morning! Don't follow me!"
Xue Qianyu: "..."
The gatekeeper said, "...Young master, there are horses inside the city gate. Would you like some...?"
Xue Qianyu shook his head: "No."
After saying that, he walked towards the city gate, and Lu Zheng followed him shortly after.
Lu Zheng reined in his horse: "Hey, who's this? In such a good mood, strolling around alone so late at night!"
Xue Qianyu stopped, glanced at Lu Zheng, and then looked down to smell his clothes. Okay, Lu Er wants to see a joke, huh?
Before Lu Zheng could react, he leaped onto Lu Zheng's horse and sat behind him.
Lu Zheng: ...
Then, he smelled a strange odor and couldn't help but retch: "Xue Er, are you sick?! Gu Nian vomited on you, and you're rubbing it on me?"
Xue Qianyu: "You're not calling me 'sister' anymore?"
Lu Zheng was about to punch him: "Get off, get off! Don't you find it disgusting? You can disgust yourself, but you're disgusting me too? Ugh~"
Xue Qianyu: "I've been smelling this all the way here, I'm used to it, it's not disgusting!"
Lu Zheng: "I really want to beat you to death!"
...
Gu Nian stood outside the Li family's house, looking at the high courtyard wall. She tied up her horse and jumped onto the wall.
She touched her arm. Hmm, the sandbag her father gave her was really useful. She had been wearing it since the Lantern Festival, and after taking it off, she felt so relaxed!
The man Lu Zheng sent to monitor Li Shan heard the commotion and quietly crept over. Upon seeing that it was Gu Nian, he retreated without saying a word.
Gu Nian ignored him and entered Li Muyan's courtyard.
She had been here many times and knew her way around to enter Li Muyan's room.
Because of the incident with those three pairs of gloves, Li Muyan hadn't been sleeping well lately. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, so when Gu Nian entered the room, he woke up: "Who is it?"
Gu Nian walked to the table and sat down, poured herself a glass of water. She couldn't take it anymore; she had vomited so much and was quite thirsty.
Li Muyan cautiously came out, lit the oil lamp, his eyes lit up, and sat down: "Niannian, it's so late, why did you come? Did you miss me too? You couldn't help but come to see me?"
After sitting down, I noticed that Gu Nian's hair was a mess and her face was dirty; she was simply unsightly.
Gu Nian felt a churning in her stomach: "Ugh~"
Li Muyan sniffed again: "Niannian, have you been drinking?"
Gu Nian held out her palm, facing him directly: "Don't speak."
