"Third Sister, why are you suddenly asking this?" Gu Ren blinked and asked with a curious look.
Gu Yingxue nodded dumbly.
In any case, the siblings should try their best not to feel guilty.
"I just feel like General Shi Mu seems to know you; the way he looks at you is strange. So I wanted to ask you if you two knew each other before." Gu Xin didn't suspect anything else; she had absolute trust in her siblings.
"Huh?" Gu Yingxue blinked; how come she hadn't noticed?
Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and stopped asking questions.
“Speaking of which, I also felt something was off. Just now, I felt that General Shi Mu was looking in our direction, but when I looked over, his gaze shifted away. I thought it was just my imagination. But it happened several times, so it wasn't my imagination after all!” Gu Si said.
"Huh? Then why don't I feel anything?" Gu Yingxue found it unbelievable.
"Sister Xue'er, of course you don't feel anything if you don't practice your kung fu properly!" Xiao Mingyue chimed in.
Gu Yingxue pinched Xiaomingyue's cheek shyly.
She has been practicing her skills diligently since returning from the West, but it's been a short time, unlike Gu Xin and her siblings who started practicing from a young age. Also, she might be genuinely slow-witted, so the results have been poor, and she's not very agile at all.
As for General Shi Mu looking at her, she really didn't feel it.
Aside from looking at Cheng Huaijin, she spent her time chatting with the Empress. She had no time to care whether others were looking at her or not.
As for whether Gu Yingxue knew General Shi Mu in the past, she still needs to think about it.
“Xue’er, think about it. When you were in the village, did any strangers appear there? Shi Mu is already twenty years old, four years older than you. And I heard that when he was fourteen, he led the villagers to drive away the pirates. Since then, he has been highly valued by the King of Jia Cang and has remained so until now. I suspect that he must have come to the Great Zhou in the past few years,” Gu Xin said.
Gu Yingxue was eleven years old when she transmigrated, and Gu Qingyuan found her more than a year later. It is possible that Gu Yingxue knew General Shi Mu before she transmigrated.
Gu Yingxue thought about the few memories she had of the original owner of the body.
The original owner was a pitiful little thing, even more pitiful than Gu Xin was back then. She worked under her older brother and sister-in-law, doing the hardest work and eating the least food. Her sister-in-law would even beat her when she was in a bad mood.
If it weren't for the fear of torturing her to death and losing a helper in the family, that little girl might not have lived to be eleven. But she still died at the age of eleven, and then the modern-day Gu Yingxue came along.
It seems that before the original owner died, when he went to the mountains to gather firewood, he met a stranger who was not from his village.
In my memory, he was a dirty young man who got injured in the mountains. The original owner found some herbs that he usually used, crushed them, applied them to his wounds, and then left.
The original owner had no memory of what the young man looked like. The main reason was that the young man was covered in mud, and his face was covered in mud, so it was impossible to see clearly. Although the original owner was kind, he was also timid and had no curiosity at all. He never thought of seeing what the young man looked like.
It took the original owner the greatest courage to be able to pound some herbs and apply them to him.
Apart from that, the original owner never encountered any strangers again; they were all from her village, because her activity area was limited to her village, and she never left.
