After scattering flower seeds by the lake, they found an open space and sat down to chat.
We talk about everything under the sun.
At noon, everyone agreed on a time and place to meet in the afternoon, and then went home.
On the way back, Gu Xin asked Lu Zheng, "Yuanyuan, do you know where Xiao Jin is? I feel that Xiao Yu isn't as happy as before. Maybe if we find Xiao Jin, she'll be happier."
Lu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know. Don't worry so much. If Cheng Huaijin were still alive, he would definitely try to find his sister."
In his previous life, the Cheng family's misfortune happened two years later. At that time, only Cheng Rui, one of the five members of the Cheng family, escaped. He remained silent for many years, but later shone brightly in the imperial examinations and married the Lady of Linglan.
Cheng Huaijin and Cheng Huaiyu were not protected by their parents and were beheaded along with them.
Because of their interference, the Cheng family's misfortune came early, and Cheng Rui's fate was switched with that of his younger siblings.
Lu Zheng believed that Cheng Huaijin was definitely alive, and that he might suddenly appear like Cheng Rui in his previous life.
Similarly, Peng Mu and Cheng Huaiyu, who were going home together, were also talking about Cheng Huaijin.
Peng Mu was the weakest of the Peng family's grandsons, so he didn't need to train at the camp and usually just studied.
Since his fifth aunt brought Xiaoyu back two years ago, he has had another task: to take care of Xiaoyu.
He knew that Xiaoyu missed her older brother.
He said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, my father might be able to find news of your brother on his trip to the Southern Frontier. Your fifth aunt found you near the Southern Frontier, and your brother should be in that area as well."
Cheng Huaiyu nodded: "Yes, thank you, Liu Lang."
Peng Mu shook his head: "Xiao Yu, Zhou Yuan and Miss Gu have a very good relationship, not like siblings. I heard from my third brother that Zhou Yuan is ruthless. If it weren't for Zhou Yuan, they might have suffered a lot of losses in their previous mission. He can directly dislocate the jaw of the female general and doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all."
Cheng Huaiyu paused for a moment, then looked at Peng Mu: "Liu Lang, what do you want to say?"
Peng Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiaoyu, Zhou Yuan saved you and your brother because of Miss Gu's request. In the end, it was Miss Gu who saved you. You may not know that Zhou Yuan is indifferent to women, but I heard my elder brother mention it. When he first came to Kuncheng, he and my elder brother swam to the other side of the river and fought their way into the Goddess Kingdom. The Queen's younger sister took a liking to Zhou Yuan and tried to take him back to her palace, but he killed her without hesitation. That girl was incredibly beautiful, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and was the most outstanding girl in the Goddess Kingdom. He killed her without a second thought."
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Peng Mu in disbelief: "I've met Young Master Zhou twice before, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would kill someone."
Peng Mu smiled and said, "When you saw him, he was probably always by Miss Gu's side, just like just now. He was gentle and polite in front of Miss Gu, like a soft spring breeze. But that was only towards Miss Gu. Think about how he treated the two of us?"
Cheng Huaiyu's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Liu Lang, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Peng Mu sighed and looked at Cheng Huaiyu earnestly, saying, "Xiaoyu, in this world, men understand men best. Although I am young, I can see it too. You have feelings for Zhou Yuan, but he only cares about Miss Gu. His abilities will surely make him shine even brighter in the future, and he will be able to win the hearts of girls even more. But Xiaoyu, he only wants to win the heart of that one girl. I don't want to see you make pointless sacrifices."
