Because her older sisters were mostly busy with their own things and not often at home, Gu Si got quite bored. When she was bored, she would do things and learn from Cai Xiaolian. She was smart and patient, so she really learned a lot.
Therefore, she was never swayed by others who said she was inferior to her three older sisters.
The two sisters chatted for a long time and were very happy. It had been a long time since they had sat together and chatted like this, as if they had returned to their childhood.
Time always flies when you're happy, and Cheng Huaijin arrived in no time.
The two sisters stopped and started talking about Gu Yingxue.
"You mean, Shi Mu might have secretly come to Da Zhou and been saved by Xue'er?" Cheng Huaijin was somewhat surprised after hearing this.
He remembered that when he was fourteen years old, his life was hanging by a thread, and he was suddenly rescued by someone. Besides thinking about his younger sister, he also had an extraordinary feeling for the person who saved his life.
The person who saved him was a minister from the Flowing Sand Kingdom who had been sent out to search for someone. Although his intentions were not good, he was genuinely grateful to him at that age.
If it weren't for his own sake, and the fact that he had cultivated a good relationship with the Sand King, and that the person who saved him was now threatening his life, frankly, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Just like when his family was in trouble, the Gu family and Lu Zheng saved him and his sister. Even if it was just to provide an opportunity, he would be willing to work for the Gu family for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he somewhat understood Shi Mu's thoughts.
“Xue’er isn’t sure. She only remembers applying medicine to someone, but she has no idea what that person looked like or whether they lived or died. If I hadn’t asked, she probably would have forgotten about it altogether,” Gu Xin said.
"So what can we confirm by our nighttime investigative visit to Shi Mu?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
“We can check his things and see if we can find anything out. Besides, did you forget what Brother Yuanyuan said earlier? Baiyi has been keeping an eye on Shi Mu. This guy changes into night clothes and wanders around almost every night. I don’t know what his purpose is, but something’s definitely not right. Even if it’s not because of Xue’er, we should still go and check on him. Shi Mu is much more dangerous than Princess Nanlin and Prince Tiantian. Brother, I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned this to you before, but the first time I saw Shi Mu, I felt a sense of familiarity with him, just like when I confronted the Seventh Princess of Yunhai in the West. The feeling he gave me was very similar to the feeling the Seventh Princess of Yunhai gave me. I won’t feel at ease until I figure out his purpose,” Gu Xin said.
"Okay, let's go take a look in a bit." Cheng Huaijin thought for a moment and nodded.
"Brother Jin, did you see Xue'er cheering during the competition?" Gu Si suddenly asked.
Cheng Huaijin was taken aback, then nodded.
How could I not have seen it? That silly girl was clapping her hands as if they weren't her own.
He probably didn't even realize that his eyes softened considerably when he nodded.
Gu Xin and Gu Si exchanged a glance; this was probably a stubborn character.
I have to say, he has really changed a lot since I first met him. Apart from his appearance, his personality is like that of a completely different person.
After confirming the departure time with the other two, Cheng Huaijin left Gu Xin's courtyard.
