Xue Qianyu then took out an exquisite wooden box in his other hand: "There are three hidden weapons inside this bracelet. You've already used two of them. I hope you won't need to use them again and won't have the chance to open the bracelet again."
Gu Nian reached out and took the flower, bringing her nose close to it and taking a deep breath: "Thank you, Xue Qianyu. It smells wonderful."
Xue Qianyu smiled and said, "Yes, I've smelled it, it does smell very good."
The two stared at each other, fireflies dancing in the air, while the rest of the scene remained still.
Princess Jinghe slapped her forehead. She had forgotten to bring too much money and food. How wonderful it would be if she could have him draw it out and give it to the two of them as a wedding gift in the future!
As a result, she slapped her forehead and accidentally bumped into Gu Hui. Gu Hui was not paying attention and her body turned to the side. Gu Xin was about to turn her head when she was bumped by her older sister. She lost her balance and fell down.
"Ouch!"
Gu Xin let out a cry of surprise, and the two people in the tent also came to their senses.
"Big sister, Zhen sister, Xin Xin, don't you get bitten by mosquitoes outside?" Gu Nian asked helplessly.
Xue Qianyu glanced towards the corner and smiled, "I'm leaving now. Get some rest. Seventeen years old, may you emerge from the shadows and live a brilliant life."
Gu Nian smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Xue Qianyu suddenly reached out and pinched her face.
Gu Nian: "!"
Xue Qianyu: "!"
He calmly withdrew his hand, then turned and silently left.
His movements were somewhat stiff, and he seemed not to hear the three girls who came in and greeted him.
Damn it, why am I trying to be like that childish Lu Er? What if I make him angry and he runs away?
Gu Nian isn't as foolish as Gu Xin, sigh!
Princess Jinghe walked up to Gu Nian and looked at her seriously: "Yes, I've smelled it, this flower is very fragrant."
Gu Hui stepped forward: "Gu Nian, seventeen years old, may you live a brilliant life."
Gu Xin looked at Princess Jinghe, then at Gu Hui, and finally reached out and pinched Gu Nian's cheek.
Gu Nian: "..."
You guys better try to imitate me properly! They're all smiling, but you all look like I owe you hundreds of taels of silver!
...
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Gu Nian had a good sleep. When she woke up, Gu Xin was skipping and jumping in.
"Sister, you're awake! I have something to tell you! We have a little brother now, a little brother born to Mother! Grandpa Peng just sent a message to Father by carrier pigeon." Gu Xin jumped into Gu Nian's arms and said happily.
"Really!" Gu Nian was quite happy, but then she thought about it and realized that her mother's due date was at the end of the month. This was earlier than expected. She hurriedly asked, "Xin Xin, how is Mom? Is she alright?"
"It's alright! I left the jade bead on Mother's person. Last time, she was able to endure it more than two months early without any problems. Mother and my brother are both fine. But Father is eager to go back, but he also wants to avenge my sister!" Gu Xin said.
"That's good, that's good!" Gu Nian nodded, her concern making her forget that her family had a powerful, wealthy heir.
"The letter also said that Mother named my younger brother Gu Yuan, wishing us a safe return," Gu Xin added.
"I really want to go back soon!" Gu Nian exclaimed.
The snake bite on her foot has stopped hurting after two days, and she even walked around a bit last night.
“I really envy Big Sister and Sister Zhen! They were allowed to join the attack on Southern Xinjiang this time! And Madam Peng is leading them. I want to go too! Let’s beat those ill-intentioned people of Southern Xinjiang into submission.” Gu Xin said.
Gu Nian's eyes flickered: "How about we go too?"
