"Of course we'll take care of it! How can we not? We still have Sisi, don't we?" Gu Xin said without hesitation. "Dad, these cases don't happen every day, and we can't expect big cases to happen every day. The country should be peaceful and prosperous! If a case really does happen, Sisi can handle it all by herself."
"You! You just can't sit still!" Cai Xiaolian tapped Gu Xin's head.
"Mom!" Gu Xin rubbed her head. "I offered to help you before, but you wouldn't let me. Now that I've found something to do, you're criticizing me. You don't understand, when everyone else is busy, it's really not a pleasant thing to be idle."
"Alright, while you're still a girl at home, do whatever you want! You'll be busy after you get married." Cai Xiaolian tidied Gu Xin's bangs and said with a smile.
When they first arrived, Gu Xin was a thin, pale girl with no flesh on her face, dark skin, and dry, frizzy hair. Now, she has a face full of collagen, fair and clean, long and black hair, and is full of energy.
Seven years have passed; time really flies.
"Mom, speaking of this, I just wanted to ask. Have Grandpa and Grandma and Uncle Lu set a wedding date for me and Yuanyuan? Is it really next year's Lantern Festival, which is also our birthday?" Gu Xin remembered this.
When Xie Yun's case happened, she happened to hear Cheng Huaijin mention it. Now that the case is closed, she really hadn't thought of this issue if Cai Xiaolian hadn't brought it up.
"When do you want to do it?" Gu Shouxin asked before Cai Xiaolian could answer.
“I used to dislike the people in the Duke’s mansion and wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. Now I have more important things to do, so I don’t want it to be so soon. Anyway, I’ll listen to my grandparents and parents. Whenever you say, that’s when it will be.” After a pause, Gu Xin continued, “Originally, I was thinking of going to clean up the Duke’s mansion’s inner quarters and divide their property among themselves. I don’t think the second uncle and aunt of the Lu family are easy to deal with. But now, I think doing those things is a waste of time. It’s better to stay at the yamen, look at the case files, or talk to Xiao Qiu about the cases she’s been through.”
"Hmm." Gu Shouxin nodded, pleased. "Your idea is correct. Why should women be confined to the inner quarters? Women can do many things too."
"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Xin was overjoyed to receive Gu Shouxin's support.
"Anyway, I don't care what you do. Xinxin, let me tell you, as long as you're happy and you think it's good, I'll support whatever you do. Life is only a few decades long, so you must do what you want to do, and don't wait until you're old to regret it," Cai Xiaolian said.
"Yes, I know, Mother." Gu Xin nodded and said, "Father, Mother, I really like the coroner that Lord Qin from the Dali Temple brought back. I feel like we get along really well. I'm planning to invite her to our house in a few days."
The couple exchanged a glance, then looked at Gu Xin with strange expressions.
We tried our best to stop you from being with Lu Zheng, but you insisted on having your Yuan Yuan. And now, you two are talking about marriage. You say you like a young coroner and want to bring him back to meet your family.
Gu Xin blinked, and soon she understood what her parents meant with those looks, and couldn't help but laugh.
