She remembered a foreshadowing: after the female lead died, the male lead initially refused to accept beauties offered by others. Later, after meeting the mysterious person, he began to accept them frantically, and when others found out, they started offering them to him in various ways.
The foreshadowing is the mysterious person the male protagonist meets; the chapters she reads haven't yet revealed the mysterious person's identity.
Who exactly is that person?
The last chapter she saw was where the male protagonist had once again accepted the emperor's gifts and was happily drinking in front of Gu Xin's memorial tablet when the mysterious person appeared.
That's where she saw it.
Gu Nian frowned and shook her head.
Just because those people look like the female lead, or have the female lead's talents, does the male lead get so happy?
And another thing, if you're happy, why don't you touch those women?
"No, no, don't come any closer, ah!" At this moment, Gu Xin suddenly woke up, tears still in the corners of her eyes.
"Xinxin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your sister is here." Gu Nian held Gu Xin's hand.
To everyone's surprise, when Gu Xin saw her, she was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, her eyes looking somewhat confused.
Gu Nian was taken aback, then said softly, "Xin Xin, it's me, your older sister. Don't be afraid, there's no big cat. You're home now."
Gu Xin's eyes were a little confused, but when she heard "big cat," she suddenly woke up and sat up: "Sister, where are Uncle and Sisi?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Uncle and Sisi are both fine, they're both fine." Gu Xin patted her back, her voice as gentle as possible.
"Sister, it's so scary! I saw a big cat trying to bite Uncle's neck." Gu Xin hugged Gu Nian.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You used the medicine powder that Grandma Xiao gave us, and the big cat was affected. It couldn't bite Uncle, really. Uncle brought you back." Gu Nian hugged her, patted her back, and explained.
...
Inside the main room of the old house, Zhang was scolding Gu Si, who had just woken up, and also scolding Gu Xin, who was not in front of her.
Uncle Gu was taking a bath in the inner room, scratching himself as he spoke: "Wife, why are you scolding Sisi? The big cat isn't Sisi's pet, nor was it called by her. Besides, Xinxin isn't even here, and you're still scolding her. Be careful your second sister-in-law comes back and fights with you!"
"Gu Shouren, don't talk! Do you want hot water? Is the water cold? I'll go get it for you! You're such a worrywart every day. You brat, instead of earning money, all you do is run wild in the woods! I'll slap you!" Zhang Shi became angrier and angrier, raising her hand to hit Gu Si.
"Who are you hitting? You're hitting my Gu family's granddaughter!" Grandma Gu appeared and grabbed Zhang's hand.
"Mother, I was just saying, hehe. Aunt Xiao, please sit down, I'll go get some water for my husband!" Zhang said with an embarrassed smile and slipped away.
"Grandma!" Gu Si looked at Grandma Gu with teary eyes.
"It's alright now, we're home. Don't be afraid," Grandma Gu said, patting Gu Si's head.
Gu Si held onto Grandma Gu's hand tightly, feeling very safe by her grandmother's side.
Grandpa Gu came in and asked Uncle Gu what had happened at the door of the inner room.
Uncle Gu recounted what had happened, and then exaggerated the effects of Grandma Xiao's medicinal powder.
Grandma Gu smirked, somewhat speechless, and asked into the inner room, "So, the two girls weren't injured when they were being chased by the big cat, but because you were carrying them, you tripped and fell, they bumped and scraped themselves, and then you carried them down the slope and through that thorny forest?"
“Yes, yes! It’s strange, I used to get scratched every time I passed by there, but this time I didn’t!” Uncle Gu replied from the inner room.
"You carried people to block it for yourself! But the scratches still got into the two girls' faces and bodies," Grandma Gu said speechlessly.
