Cai Xiaolian and Yang Shi were already able to take over the business matters, so Gu Shouxin let Gu Nian and Gu Xin devote themselves to it wholeheartedly.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu have already gone to the camp. As for sending Xie Nanfeng, it may take a few more days to plan.
Xie Nanfeng's mother and sister are both in Kuncheng now. He needs time to explain things to them, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to withstand the blow.
...
Half a month later, the mountains surrounding Kuncheng were covered in snow. Suddenly, the mountain next to the Gu family school made a loud "boom" as if it were about to collapse.
The students who were studying in the classroom were frightened, and they all couldn't help but want to see what was going on.
The people in the city heard it too, but it was just one sound and then there was no more movement. Gu Shouxin and General Peng led people to check it out in person, and the people were relieved.
Gu Shouxin knew that Gu Nian and the others were going to conduct an experiment today. Upon hearing the commotion, he immediately went out of the city with General Peng.
When General Peng saw what the mountains looked like, he was speechless.
So the carriage was ready, and with the two Gu family girls on board, they headed towards Chunnan City.
They arrived in Chunnan City on the second day. It was already afternoon when they left. After arriving, the Emperor went to play at the Linzhou seaside with Uncle Gu and Prince Kang.
Gu Shouxin and General Peng took Gu Nian to Linzhou to look for someone, and Gu Yingxue also went to Linzhou to visit her parents.
Gu Xin and Xie Zhiyi stayed in Chunnan City.
Upon seeing the Empress, Gu Xin called out to someone and asked, "Auntie, are you pregnant?"
Empress Xue was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Not yet!"
She had her period at the end of last month, and now it's the end of the month. She's been feeling a bit disappointed lately, as she's been getting signs that her period is about to start.
Gu Xin sat down next to Empress Xue: "Aunt, you look just like my eldest aunt when she was pregnant with Eleven. Her complexion was rosy, her face was rounder, and she looked very gentle. It felt like you were pregnant with a baby."
Empress Xue's eyes lit up: "Really? Just like your aunt?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Anyway, it's just a feeling, it's like you have a baby in your belly. I didn't have this feeling before."
Grandma Xiao listened from the side, also somewhat uncertain.
She knew Empress Xue's menstrual cycle and pulse patterns normally. Even if she was pregnant now, it was still premature, so it wouldn't be easy to detect it by taking her pulse.
Moreover, Empress Xue's menstruation was irregular, so even if she didn't have a period a few days later, it couldn't be said that she was definitely pregnant.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's hard to say. If it really is, Xiao will be able to give birth in another half month."
Empress Xue thought it made sense. She touched her belly, hoping that she was pregnant like her sister-in-law Gu, and that it would be a son.
Although she already has a son and wants to have a well-behaved daughter like the Gu sisters, she can't; it has to be a son.
Only by giving birth to a son can her eldest son's life be saved.
And so, Gu Xin settled down in Chunnan City.
Gu Hui and Peng Ze took Gu Si and Huo Yanyu back to Kuncheng, and Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu went back together as well.
Although there are people at home to help take care of the children, the family business is so busy that Cai Xiaolian and Yang must be overwhelmed and someone needs to go back to help.
A few days later, Uncle Gu and the others returned, but Gu Shouxin, General Peng, the Emperor, and Gu Nian went directly from Linzhou back to Kuncheng. The Emperor had witnessed the power of what Gu Nian had made and could no longer play around with it, so he hurried back to prepare.
