After cycling for almost three days in the Goddess Kingdom, Peng Ze and his party finally arrived in Kuncheng on the evening of the first day of June.
Knowing that the Peng family residence was not clean, he directly led the group of people to the Gu family residence.
He didn't bring many people, just over twenty. Gu Shouxin arranged for them to stay in the large common room that the yamen provided for the yamen runners, and then sent someone to invite General Peng and General Peng.
Gu Shouxin patted Peng Ze on the shoulder: "You deliberately arrived late, didn't you! If your father and grandfather knew you did this, they'd probably be upset for a while when they got back."
Peng Ze shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. The Peng family has been plagued by traitors one after another. My fourth aunt has been in charge of the family, but now I can't even trust her. I don't dare to take any risks."
Gu Shouxin smiled: "Well done! Let's go in and have a hot drink first."
Peng Ze followed him inside.
When the Gu family heard that Peng Ze had returned, everyone except for his eldest uncle and fourth uncle in Chunnan City and Baiyu City came out.
Zhang showed particular concern for her eldest son-in-law, treating him like her own son: "Aze, you've gotten so thin! Sit down quickly, and I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite food. Oh dear, look how thin the child has become."
Peng Ze scratched his head sheepishly: "Thank you, Mom!"
Zhang happily went to the kitchen.
Grandpa Gu then asked about Gu Xin. He was worried about his granddaughter. All the boys were quite capable, but in his mind, Gu Xin was just a pampered girl who only knew a little bit of martial arts.
Peng Ze told them about Gu Xin's recent situation, and then General Peng, General Peng and his wife, and Gu Hui all came over.
When Peng Ze looked around, it was as if his grandfather and parents didn't exist; he only saw Gu Hui.
God knows how much he missed his new wife during the nearly six months he was away. Apart from the two weeks after their wedding, they didn't even hold hands.
"You brat! All you do is stare at your wife! I've been taking good care of her for you!" Old Master Peng gave Peng Ze's head a shove in annoyance.
"Oh dear, old man. Don't hit Aze, look how thin he is." Zhang went to the kitchen to give the order and came back just in time to see this scene. She couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped forward to protect him.
You know, she's the kind of person who dares to argue with her mother-in-law and even say that her mother-in-law is biased!
“Huihui, why didn’t you bring some clothes for Aze? Look how pitiful he is! Now that you’re a wife, you should act like one. Really!” Zhang glared at Gu Hui again.
"Alright, you talk too much." Grandma Gu spoke up, and Zhang had no choice but to sit down obediently.
Once everyone was present, Peng Ze began to recount his experiences over the past six months, as well as his plans for the Liusha Kingdom after arriving there.
"Xin Xin is amazing now. She's subdued quite a few bandits. Maybe Uncle Jun's words don't work, but Xin Xin's are what make the bandits listen. The day I met Xin Xin, I'll probably never forget that scene. There were corpses all over the ground, and Xin Xin was holding a sword, the tip still dripping blood. She just stood there in the wind and sand, unyielding. Only when A Yuan appeared did she lower her guard and fall into his arms. Xin Xin has really suffered a lot." After saying that, Peng Ze sighed.
"My son!" Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but cry.
She couldn't believe that her precious little girl was so brave and strong. She wished she could run over and take all that pain for Gu Xin.
"Xinxin is fine, don't cry." Gu Shouxin put his arm around Cai Xiaolian and patted her shoulder gently.
“She is the daughter of the Gu and Ye families, and as the daughter of the Gu and Ye families, she should be treated this way.” Grandma Gu’s words were cold and hard, but tears welled up in her eyes.
