Two days later, Gu Xin took Enzi and Sisi to the Li family.
The three of them walked there, and the gatekeeper recognized them and let them in.
Walking into Li Muyan's courtyard, the Duke of Rongguo and his wife, along with Li Shan, were all there. The two old people looked very happy together.
When Li Shan saw the group, she ran over happily: "Sister Xinxin, Sister Sisi!"
Gu Xin glanced at Li Shan: "Miss Li, I heard you're observing mourning for your birth mother? Do people in your city wear such bright and beautiful clothes to observe mourning? It's different from us country folk!"
That's how Gu Xin is; once she's determined you're not a good person, she won't be polite to you.
Li Shan: "!"
Li Muyan ran over: "Xinxin, it's not like that. My grandfather hasn't been feeling well lately, and he doesn't like my plain clothes. Xinxin, you're being naughty, and Shan'er is about to cry."
Gu Xin gave Li Muyan a big smile: "Really? I'm sorry! But, Brother Muyan, you're wearing white! I saw that Grandpa Jiang didn't dislike it either!"
Hmph, I'm a kid too. Who wouldn't laugh like an idiot?
Li Muyan was a little unhappy.
Madam Xie approached, her usual kind smile still on her face: "Xinxin, your words today are a bit harsh. It's not good for a girl to act like that. Didn't your parents teach you? Be good, listen to Grandma Xie and apologize to Shan'er. Shan'er wore bright-colored clothes because of her maternal grandfather; it was out of filial piety." (This statement was posted online.)
Gu Xin also revealed an innocent smile: "My parents taught me! They, Grandpa Jiang is a Duke, and their words and actions are exemplary. I just want to learn from Grandpa Jiang, but unfortunately, my family is from the countryside, and my father is just a scholar. I can't learn Grandpa Jiang's style!"
After finishing, she handed the letter to Li Muyan: "Brother Muyan, my sister went back two days ago. Yesterday, she asked someone in the village to deliver a letter to me, Brother Muyan."
Li Muyan accepted the letter.
Gu Xin added, "Then we'll be going. If Brother Mu Yan replies, please have someone bring it to me later. I'll reply first thing tomorrow morning!"
Li Shan suddenly reached out to pull Gu Xin, but Gu Xin turned slightly to the side. For some reason, Li Shan tripped and fell face down to the ground.
Everyone: "!"
Madam Xie quickly helped Li Shan up, then frowned at Gu Xin: "You little rascal..."
Li Shan pulled Xie Shi along, looking weak and vulnerable: "Grandmother, I tripped by myself, it has nothing to do with Sister Xin Xin, please don't scold her. She didn't know I would trip, so she moved aside to help me."
The Gu siblings: *Hoo*
Gu Xin said, "You're wrong. I saw the pebbles under your feet and deliberately didn't help you. You deserve it! Why should I help you? What does it have to do with me if you fall? Enzi, Sisi, let's go!"
Li Shan looked astonished. This, this…
Duke Rong went to see Gu Shouxin behind Li Muyan's back, and he couldn't get angry on the spot, so he just made an excuse that he wasn't feeling well and went back with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that Li Muyan looked on expectantly as if he wanted to read the letter, Xie left with Li Shan.
Li Muyan felt a little uncomfortable watching his parents and sister leave. Why was Xinxin suddenly so rude and unreasonable?
He sat down and started thinking as he opened the letter. Once he started reading, he didn't have time to think about Gu Xin anymore. He clutched the letter and wanted to run to find Gu Nian right away.
He forced himself to calm down.
Yes, when the Niannian sisters came over a couple of days ago, Xinxin mentioned Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan stayed home to farm and didn't come to the city with them to visit their third aunt.
It must have been Zhou Yuan who gave it to us, it must have been him!
No, I can't let Niannian know that Zhou Yuan gave them to her; she likes those gloves so much.
But, but if Zhou Yuan dares to give it, what if he tells Nian Nian the truth?
Li Muyan was extremely conflicted, which led him not to write a reply that night.
The letter was written and sent on the second occasion. Gu En opened the door, took the letter, closed the door, and rushed to her sisters' room. She didn't dare to shout, afraid that the servants outside might hear her if they hadn't gone far.
