All three daughters-in-law of the Gu family are pregnant. Grandma Gu is preparing for Gu Hui and Peng Ze's wedding with Madam Peng. Now that Xue Qianyu has come to propose marriage, well, Grandma Gu has taken over the task directly, since she has experience.
As a result, Madam Xue and Princess Kang frequently visited the Gu family, and their relationship with Grandma Gu and the three daughters-in-law of the Gu family grew better and better.
Especially seeing that Zhang and Cai Xiaolian were both pregnant, she was extremely envious. Unfortunately, she could only be envious. Now, instead of letting the two of them try to have children with those two old playboys, it would be better to kill them!
Days passed by, and by the end of February, an army of 100,000 men arrived from Yunzhou, north of the capital. This army was from the Yi family, another guardian deity of the Great Zhou.
The team was led by Yi Gang, the eldest grandson of the Yi family, and Yi Ling, the only daughter of the Yi family.
Like the Peng family, the Yi family had more men than women. The Peng family had Peng Yizhu in the children's generation, while the Yi family had Yi Ling in the grandchildren's generation.
Yi Ling grew up in a military camp and has a tough personality. The reason she came along this time is that the Yi family thought that several of the Peng family's grandsons were not engaged and that they might find someone they liked here.
Yi Ling is eighteen years old, unmarried, and has a rather delicate appearance, but she has a very irritable personality.
The journey from Yunzhou to Kunzhou was equivalent to traveling half of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Upon arriving in Kuncheng, the army was stationed at the North Camp, and Yi Gang and his sister Yi Ling moved into the new house that the Peng family had purchased.
On the second night after they settled in, Yi Gang and Yi Ling visited the Gu family with gifts.
The Gu family and the Yi family were not familiar with each other at all, so they were a little confused when the brother and sister suddenly showed up.
Yi Gang, a typical robust man from northern China, explained his purpose for coming.
He might stay for a year or two this time, and he's heard that Kunzhou is developing well, so he plans to buy a house there.
The Gu family looked at him in surprise. "Your Yi family's base has always been in Yunzhou in the north. Why did you cross most of the Great Zhou to buy a house in Kunzhou?"
Yi Gang noticed the Gu family's confusion and said half-jokingly, "Our family intends to form a marriage alliance with the Peng family. The Peng family is based in Kunzhou, and our elders are planning to prepare a dowry for our younger sister."
The Gu family members suddenly realized what was happening and then looked at Yi Ling.
Yi Ling said frankly, "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, uncles and elders, please rest assured, I already know about Peng Dalang's engagement to the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and I do not necessarily have to marry Peng Dalang."
When Yi Ling said that, the Gu family felt that something was not right, as if the girl had a goal, but it seemed to be related to their family.
Cai Xiaolian asked Gu Xin and her sisters to take her to see the map of the new city, give her a proper introduction, and let her choose for herself.
Yi Ling followed the Gu sisters to their boudoir without any hesitation.
She was about the same age as Gu Nian, and seeing Gu Nian's attire, she was a little puzzled: "Second Miss Gu, I've heard that all the girls in the Gu family practice martial arts. I thought they were all as carefree as me, but I never expected that Second Miss Gu would be so stunning!"
Gu Nian: "!"
You complimented me on my looks, but I felt there was something off about your tone!
Yi Ling then asked, "I've heard that the heir of the Duke of Cheng'en is also in Kunzhou. I wonder if Miss Gu is acquainted with him?"
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow. Was this person coming for Xue Qianyu?
Gu Nian smiled and said, "The heir of the Duke of Cheng'en, we don't see each other often. He used to be in Linshan, but he was recently transferred back to Kuncheng. What, Miss Yi, do you no longer love the Peng family's son, but love the Xue family's son?"
Yi Ling was taken aback, then frankly replied, "That's right, exactly. I've heard that Young Master Xue and Miss Gu have a good relationship, so I also plan to cultivate a good relationship with Miss Gu!"
