Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Really? Is it Yiyi? It's best that Brother Peng doesn't agree to marry Yi Ling. Our Yiyi is just fine."
Lu Zheng fed her a bite of meat: "Xinxin is so smart, she figured it out right away! How can you be so amazing!"
Xue Qianyu thought to himself: I always feel like you're raising a daughter!
Gu Xin ate the meat and then happily said, "Second Brother Peng is the gentlest of the Peng brothers. I'm so happy for Yi Yi!"
Gu Nian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the gentlest one should be Peng Liulang. It's just a pity that he's not in good health. He's also a year older than Yiyi, which is great."
Gu Xin turned to Gu Nian and said, "Sister, haven't you noticed that Brother Peng likes Xiao Yu? I don't want Yi Yi to marry someone who already has someone else in his heart!"
Gu Nian was taken aback: "Peng Liulang likes Xiaoyu?"
Gu Xin said with certainty, "Yes, I saw it a long time ago! I think Brother Peng must be quite sad. He didn't come back for my eldest sister and brother-in-law's wedding. I guess he didn't want to come back and just wanted to stay in the capital alone!"
Lu Zheng observed Gu Xin and noticed that she was no longer as upset as before when she talked about Cheng Huaiyu, which put him at ease.
The silly girl finally stopped worrying about Xiaoyu.
"Sigh!" Gu Nian sighed, raising her glass. "So, not all lovers in this world can end up together. Come on, let's have a drink!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
The four of them were drinking fruit wine, which was like a beverage, so even Gu Xin, who was only fourteen years old, could drink it.
After having a drink, they continued eating and chatting.
The four of them rarely have a meal together like this when there are only four of them. They thought it wouldn't be as lively as when there were more sisters, but actually, everyone felt quite happy.
Gu Xin, in particular, was fed by Lu Zheng until her belly was round. She stood up and circled around the table, talking and walking around at the same time. After a while, she could sit down and continue the battle.
Somehow, the conversation veered towards that cave.
The day the sisters went on a picnic and ran into Yin Yueli, General Peng only went to check after receiving the news.
In the end, nothing was found; they couldn't even determine whether the commotion was caused by a person or a wild animal.
There were traces of wild animals in the mountains, but General Peng always felt that the noises heard by the soldiers guarding the cave were not from wild animals.
Unfortunately, they found nothing, and they couldn't determine anything.
In the end, General Peng still ordered his men to guard the area. So much time had passed; they should guard it for another two months. If they still hadn't found anything by the first month of next year, they would withdraw their men.
Gu Nian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Hey, do you think there might be some kind of trap or mechanism in that cave? Although we've searched the whole cave and found nothing, what about the rocks and underground? I heard that there was a group of people from the previous dynasty who were skilled in the art of divination and escape, and they went to Langge Kingdom with a general from that dynasty. Do you think it might be something that happened on the Langge Kingdom's side?"
Recently, Gu Shouxin has also been working hard to understand the Lange Kingdom. He had previously listened to the emperor's words and even sent people to the Lange Kingdom. He has a few books at home that introduce the clan members who were taken to the Lange Kingdom by the previous dynasty, but the content is very limited.
Gu Nian had wanted to ask Lu Zheng for a long time.
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "My second uncle had already thought of this and mentioned it to General Peng. We investigated along this line of thought, but we didn't find anything."
