As they approached the Gu family's residence, Gu Xin asked to get off and walk, wanting to chat with Lu Zheng a little longer.
“Brother Yuanyuan, I heard from my brother during the day that our wedding date might be set on my eighteenth birthday, which is your twenty-third birthday. Do you know that?” Gu Xin held Lu Zheng’s hand and swung it as they walked.
"Have my father and grandparents finished talking? I've been quite busy these past two days and haven't had a chance to talk to him yet." Lu Zheng was pleasantly surprised.
“My brother said he heard my grandparents say something like that, and it would probably happen around that day,” Gu Xin said.
"That's great!" Lu Zheng said happily. "When Huihui got married, she was nineteen, and when Niannian got married, she was already twenty. I was really afraid that my grandparents would wait until you were twenty-one before marrying you off to me."
"Can't you wait?" Gu Xin asked.
"Of course I can wait. But my Xin Xin has gained another skill now. She's so outstanding. I'm afraid that if too much time passes, I won't be good enough for her. So, I really want to marry her as soon as possible so I can feel at ease!" Lu Zheng said with a frightened expression.
"Hahahaha..." Gu Xin was amused by him, but then she remembered something and became serious again, "Brother Yuanyuan, after we get married, if I still want to work in the yamen, you can't forbid it!"
"Of course you can! I've always listened to you! Whatever you want to do, I'll support you wholeheartedly! There's nothing I won't allow you to do, only things you won't allow me to do," Lu Zheng assured him.
"That's good!" Gu Xin nodded in satisfaction. "To be honest, I quite like things as they are now. Xiao Qiu is great, Constable Gao is great, and Lord Qin is even better. He directly asked me to help the Jingzhao Prefecture investigate cases with Xiao Qiu."
"I like things that require thinking. When I feel like stretching my muscles someday, I'll go find my brother-in-law, my second brother-in-law, and you. The three of you will pick your best soldiers, and I'll train them for you!" Gu Xin had already planned out her future life.
"Okay! Whatever you say goes!" Lu Zheng patted Gu Xin's head affectionately.
This is the girl who would give him the moon from the sky; he'll definitely want to grant her whatever she desires.
"Once this case is over, I'll go see my older sister. She's been so busy these past few days, I don't know what, she hasn't come back to see me. I've been so bored," Gu Xin sighed.
“I’ll keep you company then. Sister Huihui must be bored at home during her pregnancy, so you can tell her about the cases. It’s like reading the stories written by Renren,” Lu Zheng said.
"Speaking of Renren, I remembered what Dad said at dinner last night. You don't know, Renren and Xiaomingyue don't want to go home at all now. They treat the Royal Academy like their own home. My dad is even thinking about clearing out a special area for them, like a daycare center at home, and turning it into a Royal Children's Academy! Renren and Xiaomingyue, one is good at bluffing and the other is strong in combat. They're both young, so the older kids don't dare to bully them. They make a mess of things. It's okay when Dad's at the academy, but when he's not there, everyone's practically crying." Gu Xin said gloatingly.
"That kid just loves to play pranks on people. The key is that he's smart; even if he can't beat someone, he can definitely fool them." Lu Zheng laughed along.
Gu Ren alone is enough of a headache, and with Xiao Mingyue added on, they really have two precious children.
