Gu Xin shook her head: "No, I'm just a little tired from riding a horse."
Gu Nian reached out to pull her: "Oh right, you must have been very cold riding back. Did Yiyi go back?"
Gu Xin withdrew her hand.
Gu Nian was taken aback.
"Xinxin's back? What are you sisters doing outside? It's so cold, come in quickly!" Grandpa Gu called from inside the house.
Gu Nian's eyes darted around as she watched "Gu Xin" walk towards the main room. She then launched a sneak attack from behind.
"Gu Xin" was caught off guard and was knocked down.
"Niannian, why are you hitting Xinxin?" Grandpa Gu saw this in the main room, stood up in shock, and walked to the door.
"Grandpa, be careful!" Gu Nian had already seen "Gu Xin" take out a hidden weapon and shoot it at Grandpa Gu. She kicked the person away.
Gu Xin was kicked against a pillar and immediately vomited blood.
Gu Nian stepped forward, restrained the person, and tied their hands behind their back: "Tell me, who are you? Where is Xin Xin? What did you do to Xin Xin?"
Grandpa Gu was still a little confused. He stepped forward and looked closely. Wasn't this Xin Xin? No, something was wrong. Her eyes weren't the same, and her expression wasn't the same either.
Grandpa Gu called over a servant and sent someone to fetch Bai Si, and also sent someone to invite Xie Zhiyi over.
...
A short while later, the Gu family members were sitting in the main room. "Gu Xin" was kneeling on the ground with her hands and feet tied, and blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth.
When Bai Si arrived, he saw Gu Nian peeling a piece of skin off "Gu Xin's" face, which looked extremely creepy. When he realized that it wasn't Gu Xin, Bai Si knew that he was going to be punished.
He knelt in the hall and recounted what had happened that day.
Bai Er also came over, and Gu Shouxin immediately told Bai Er to take some men to the city gate to ask which direction the carriage had gone.
Gu Nian went along too.
Gu Shouxin then sent someone to the Peng family to invite General Peng and his wife over.
When General Peng and his wife arrived, they were still in a daze. After hearing what had happened, they instinctively felt it was impossible. Madam Peng said, "Yue Li was personally escorted to Yunzhou by my personal guards. How could she possibly be outside Kuncheng?"
Gu Shouxin sneered: "If General Yin's niece can have someone imitate Xin Xin's appearance at home, why can't she appear outside Kuncheng?"
At this moment, Xie Zhiyi also changed her clothes and came over accompanied by Madam Peng. With her confirmation, they were even more certain that Yin Yueli had appeared.
General Peng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Gu, Sister-in-law, it's our fault for not educating our relatives' children properly. We apologize to you! I will immediately send people to search outside the city!"
Peng Ze and Gu Hui also dared to come. After learning the cause and effect, they also wanted to lead people to search outside the city.
...
At this moment, Gu Nian and Bai Er followed the guidance of the city guards and walked south for about half an hour. They found a carriage with bloodstains on a slope.
It looked like a startled horse.
Gu Nian had a gut feeling that this carriage was for Gu Xin. Ever since she transmigrated, anyone who insulted or harmed Gu Xin would suffer some misfortune.
Gu Nian already had a guess as to how Yin Yueli had managed to kidnap Xin Xin right under Bai Si's nose.
With human skin masks appearing, the legendary ventriloquism naturally came into play as well.
She suddenly remembered what Huo Yanyu and Gu Yingxue had said before: Yin Yueli had been observing Gu Xin and Gu Si's every word and action, perhaps wanting to replace one of the sisters.
Yin Yueli returned to carry out her plan.
However, the person pretending to be Xin Xin was not Yin Yue Li.
