Gu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Zheng Qiu might still harbor resentment towards Gu En.
She hoped the two could clear up the misunderstanding. She understood Gu En's meaning, but Zheng Qiu thought the worst.
Even if you gave Gu En a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to be fickle; he was just stating what he had seen.
Even she herself, although she didn't like the practice of taking wives and concubines, said that it was other people's business and she couldn't interfere, as long as it didn't happen to herself or the people she cared about.
She never considered changing this custom that has been passed down from ancient times, and she knew it was impossible to change.
Just like in the land of goddesses, powerful and influential women also marry one man and take several others as concubines.
“Just now, Brother Yuanyuan said that we will rest in Qi’an Town for a while this afternoon and set off again tomorrow morning. We should be able to reach the capital by tomorrow evening,” Gu Xin said, changing the subject.
“That’s perfect. When we get to the inn, I’ll borrow the kitchen for a bit. I’ll treat you to a meal! I’ll cook.” Zheng Qiu had been so busy crying that she hadn’t heard the conversation outside, but now that she knew, she said eagerly.
"Okay! I'll tell Yuanyuan and the others." Gu Xin nodded, then lifted the curtain. "Yuanyuan, Baiyi, Fatty Wang, did you hear that? Xiaoqiu said she's going to cook a delicious meal for us later. She originally planned to invite Sisi, Renren, and me too, but look, you're getting in on the good side!"
"Hey! Xiao Qiu, you're being silly. I heard you say Gu Xiao Si can go. We've solved cases together, so why didn't you invite me?" Fatty Wang said.
"I was just worried that you wouldn't be used to my little courtyard, Brother Wang," Zheng Qiu joked.
"What are you saying! Why wouldn't I be used to the places that Third Miss and the others like to go? I'll definitely go then. Baiyi, call Bai Er, let's all go for a free meal. Friends should stay in touch! How about this, when we get to the capital, I'll clean up my house, and everyone can come and have fun. Barbecue, drinking, cards, whatever, I, Fatty Wang, will be happy to oblige!" Fatty Wang said heartily.
"Who do you think will stick with me to the end?" the man in white asked, turning his head.
"I am Fatty Wang!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, only to realize with a start that he was calling himself Fatty Wang.
"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Fatty Wang slapped his forehead. Sure enough, habit is a terrible thing. He had gotten used to them shouting like that these past few days, and now he was shouting like that too. He must have thought they were shouting at someone else!
Gu En and Bai Er's carriage was behind. Hearing the laughter coming from the front, Gu En was itching to ask, "What are you laughing at, Brother Yuan? Tell us what's so funny!"
Before Lu Zheng could answer, Fatty Wang spoke up: "Gu Xiaosi, Xiao Qiu will personally prepare a delicious meal for us when we get to the inn. We're in for a treat."
Gu En was taken aback, then blurted out without thinking, "Huh? Do I still remember him dissecting Qi Yulang's corpse with a knife, and then in a little while I'm going to eat the delicious food she's slicing up with a knife?"
The air suddenly became quiet, with only the clatter of horses' hooves remaining.
Gu En realized what she had said as soon as she finished speaking. She wanted to sew her mouth shut. She had completely offended that kid. Oh no, he holds grudges so much. What should she do? What should she do?
