Xue Qianyu continued discussing the Peng family's plans with Gu Shouxin, while Gu Nian and Gu Xin went directly to the Meng family after leaving the study.
Gu Si and Huo Yanyu stayed at home to cover for them.
"Sister, do you think Dad will beat us when we come back after we sneaked away?" Gu Xin asked on the way to the Meng family.
"They won't hit us, they'll punish us. Xinxin, why don't you stay home too, I'll go by myself!" Gu Nian said worriedly.
"No! We sisters can look after each other if we're together. Oh, Aunt Yin's carriage is back. She must have settled things with the Meng family. Let's move aside!" Gu Xin pulled Gu Nian to a corner, avoiding the Peng family's carriage.
The two walked. The yamen was not far from the east gate. Coincidentally, the Meng family's house was the closest place in the new city to the old city gate. They were afraid that taking a carriage would disturb their family, so they chose to walk.
After Madam Peng's carriage passed, the two sisters continued on their way to the Meng family's residence.
Gu Nian had witnessed Gu Xin escape danger many times and her incredible luck as a lucky charm. Although she was worried, Gu Xin insisted, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore. Xin Xin had grown up and was more decisive than her.
Upon arriving at the Meng family home, the two went directly to ask Meng San Niangzi.
Meng San Niangzi is the aunt of Meng Meng and Meng Yan. She is also the one among the four women of the Meng family who has practiced martial arts since childhood and is the one most grateful to the Gu family.
Upon hearing the purpose of their visit, Madam Meng did not hide anything and directly told Gu Xin and Gu Nian about Madam Peng's request.
They were originally working for the Gu family, and Madam Peng hadn't specifically instructed Meng San Niangzi not to tell anyone from the Gu family, so she spoke without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the two sisters realized that it wasn't what they had thought—that they had infiltrated the Goddess Kingdom!
They simply infiltrated the guards of the Goddess Kingdom.
Hmm, this sounds easier than infiltrating the Goddess Kingdom! Maybe Father will agree, and they won't have to sneak away!
The two sisters went straight to the Peng family after leaving the Meng family's house.
Along the way, the two discussed how to persuade Madam Peng, as their plan was more perfect than the initial plan drafted by the Peng family.
After returning home and having dinner, Madam Peng was about to go to the camp when she heard that the Gu sisters had come to find her, which puzzled her.
It's so late at night, they couldn't possibly be here to ask about Gu Hui!
She had the two sisters invited to the study.
The two sisters arrived at the study, bowed to Madam Peng, and then explained their purpose.
Madam Peng's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, Lord Gu, with his protective and petty nature, was sure to hold the Peng family accountable again this time.
She looked at Gu Nian and Gu Xin, and hesitated before saying, "You say you have a better way? Why don't you tell me?"
Gu Nian borrowed paper and pen and began to draw.
Her drawing skills and the maps she drew were much simpler and easier to understand than those in the Peng family's possession, and they were also more detailed.
After finishing the drawing, she asked, "Aunt Yin, is the terrain like this from our water camp to the mountains of the Goddess Kingdom across the way?"
Madam Peng's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "More or less! Nian'er, how do you know if you haven't been there?"
Gu Nian smiled and replied, "I went to the water camp to find Xue Qianyu. He was leading troops in training at the time, so I sat by the river waiting for him. That's when I saw the mountain of the Goddess Kingdom. It was a bit far away, but based on the environment on both sides of the Kun River, I guessed that's it. Aunt Yin, if the map is correct, then Xin Xin and I are 80% sure we can complete our plan."
