Since Peng Mu was born, Madam Peng Si has established herself in the Peng family and has never returned to her parents' home. However, she is still willing to help her younger brother from her parents' home, but she simply doesn't want to talk to her stepmother.
At this moment, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were sitting in their study, with a carpet on the floor and their twin sons playing on the floor by themselves.
Cai Xiaolian clicked her tongue and said, "Chen's life was so bumpy when she was young! Fortunately, she met General Peng Si. However, the incident that happened to General Peng Si was quite a coincidence."
Gu Shouxin's eyes lit up as he looked at Cai Xiaolian: "You think so too?"
Cai Xiaolian paused for a moment, then sighed, "Xin Xin looks just like you! You two have the same expressions. Especially your eyes, they're so alike! I haven't seen Xin Xin for months! Sigh!"
Gu Shouxin held Cai Xiaolian's hand and patted it: "She'll be back soon, don't worry. Her Uncle Jun wrote to say that this girl has started to torture the soldiers of the Flowing Sand Kingdom using my methods. She also wants to recruit the sand bandits to her own cause. She's not afraid, but is actively responding, which makes me very happy."
Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at Gu Shouxin: "Who was it that said we should pamper our daughter? Just thinking about our little darling competing and training with a group of men in the desert makes my heart ache. Our beautiful little girl comes back all tanned and as dashing as the men in the desert. I... I just can't bear to think about it!"
"Hahahaha..." Gu Shouxin laughed loudly, "When we started raising her a few years ago, wasn't she all dark-skinned? Not only was she dark-skinned, but she was also a bit silly. Now, at least she's not silly anymore. I believe she can protect herself and will be outstanding. I now completely believe in what you told Niannian about her lucky koi fish fortune. Xiaolian, believe in Xinxin, she will do very well."
Cai Xiaolian sighed.
At this moment, I can only trust my daughter.
The Kingdom of Liusha was thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Besides believing, there was nothing she, as a mother, could do.
"If Yizhu were still in Kuncheng and not married, we could have her test the Chen family." Cai Xiaolian changed the subject, trying not to think about Gu Xin anymore. She was afraid that if she overthought things, she would only become more anxious.
"Do you think it's possible that Peng Mu isn't Chen Shi and Peng Lao Si's child at all?" Gu Shouxin made a bold conjecture. "Chen Shi wasn't driven into the mountains to rescue Peng Lao Si. She only stayed in the mountains with Peng Lao Si for a little over a month. Before Peng Lao Si, she had been alone in the mountains for over a month. Peng Mu should have been born at full term, but the Peng family thought he was premature and attributed his poor health to premature birth. If Peng Mu was born at full term, then he is very likely not Peng Lao Si's son."
"Wait, let me sort this out. You're going around in circles, and I don't quite understand." Cai Xiaolian clicked her tongue, sounding quite complicated. Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, so with two pregnancies in a row, will she be stupid for six years? Why is her reaction so slow now?
“Lu Zheng said that Langge King is Qu King, and Qu King addresses Peng Mu very intimately, like an elder. So, is it possible that Peng Mu is related to Qu King?” Gu Shouxin directly stated his guess.
"Huh?" Cai Xiaolian's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, Prince Qu is the same age as our father, and Chen is a few years younger than me."
