Zhang has been in a great mood lately, finding everyone agreeable. After hearing their gossip, she took the initiative to ask about it: "Xiao Jin, you're practically one of our children now, and I'm your aunt. So, let me ask you something: have you ever set your sights on a princess or a noblewoman?"
When Zhang asked this question, Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Gu Yingxue all looked over.
Suddenly being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Cheng Huaijin instinctively looked at them.
He smiled and said, "Aunt, I haven't met the right person yet. But if I do, I definitely won't hide it from everyone."
Madam Zhang sighed and said, "Xiao Jin, I think the princesses of our Great Zhou are very good. You're not young anymore, you'll be nineteen next year, it's time to get married."
Grandpa Gu said from the side, "Xiao Jin, your aunt is right. You should think about this. I think your father is also a restless person. Before, he didn't keep in touch with anyone, but now he does. Once you go back, he might run off to play everywhere. You should find someone you like to stay by your side, so that everyone can take care of each other."
Uncle Gu said, "That's right, that's right. Xiao Jin, let me tell you, if I didn't already have a son-in-law I'd already chosen, I would definitely have set you up with Sisi. What a wonderful young man you are! So handsome, and..."
Gu Si glared angrily at her uncle: "Father!"
Zhang patted Uncle Gu on the shoulder; she didn't want her daughter to marry so far away, so Huo the Prodigy would be perfect.
Uncle Gu pursed his lips: "Our daughters are all married now, sigh, what a pity! Huh?"
Suddenly, Uncle Gu looked at Gu Yingxue.
Before anyone could speak, Uncle Gu clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Xue'er is also a daughter of the Gu family. Xue'er is younger than Sisi, right? She'll be of marriageable age next year, won't she? That's wonderful, I..."
Grandma Gu, having reached her limit, gave Uncle Gu a cold look and said, "Shut up!"
Uncle Gu remembered the terrible beating he had suffered a few days ago and obediently shut up.
Grandpa Gu chuckled and smoothed things over, shifting the topic back to the Royal Academy. No one seemed to remember what Uncle Gu had just said.
Gu Yingxue would secretly glance at Cheng Huaijin, and when she sensed that Cheng Huaijin had noticed her, she would look away.
She wasn't actually only fourteen years old, but in ancient times, fourteen-year-old girls could also experience the first stirrings of love.
She hadn't thought much about it before; her desire to be with Cheng Huaijin was solely for Yun Ge'er's sake. But after she came to terms with it, she no longer had that thought.
Now, she and Cheng Huaijin have not had much contact, but they have also had quite a bit of contact.
She realized that she did indeed have some feelings for Cheng Huaijin.
However, she knew that it was impossible for them to be together.
No matter what, Xiaoyu died saving her. How could Xiaoyu's older brother marry the woman who caused his sister's death?
Thinking about all this, Gu Yingxue's mood instantly soured.
Gu Xin, who was sitting next to her listening to the gossip, quickly sensed it.
She glanced at Gu Yingxue, then at Cheng Huaijin who was listening intently, and felt as if she understood something.
However, Gu Xin wouldn't say it aloud, nor would she say it like she was teasing Sisi, because she understood that Sisi and Huo Shentong were in love, even if Sisi was a beat slow to react.
However, Xue'er and Cheng Huaijin are not.
She could tell that Xue'er liked Cheng Huaijin, but she couldn't tell whether Cheng Huaijin had feelings for Xue'er.
Cheng Huaijin is no longer the boy he once was; he has grown to a level that is incomprehensible to others.
