Lu Ni's gossip made the girls sigh. They were also curious about what kind of show would be on the second day of the second lunar month, so they asked Gu Xin to send someone to keep an eye on Lu Ni.
Mentioning this, Gu Xin suddenly thought of something: "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is basically full of Yuan Yuan's people now. Maybe Yuan Yuan knows! I'll ask him when I meet him later."
Gu Nian shook her head: "Not necessarily. Lu Ni would definitely think that Lu Zheng would send someone to keep watch at home, and the fact that she didn't tell Lin Shi about this means that she was probably at the Jiang family's house or had arranged to discuss it outside with Jiang Hong and Li Yuyan. So, Lu Zheng might not know."
Gu Xin shook her head indifferently: "It's okay. Even if Brother Yuanyuan doesn't know now, I'll tell him later and have him send someone to keep an eye on Lu Ni. There are still half a month until the second day of the second lunar month, so Lu Ni will definitely need to confirm her plans."
Everyone agreed that Gu Xin's idea was correct, and as they talked, they stopped talking about Lu Ni and started talking about the lantern festival that night.
Gu Yingxue has been resting at home for ten days. In the following days, Gu Xin also prepared jade bead water for her to drink. She is now fully able to walk, and her recovery is much better than usual.
The girls stayed home until evening, then went out after dinner.
At the lantern festival, Gu Nian was accompanied by Xue Qianyu, Xie Zhiyi by Peng Erlang, Huo Yanyu by Peng Silang, and Gu Xin by Lu Zheng. Only Gu Si and Gu Yingxue could stroll around with Gu En and Gu Ren.
"Sister Xue'er, are you thinking about your sweetheart?" Gu Ren had noticed something amiss in the past few days, and now, looking at the absent-minded Gu Yingxue, he asked with ill intent.
When it's just the two of them, Gu Ren calls her Gu San Niu, but when there are other people around, he knows to call her Xue'er Sister.
"Huh? Xue'er already has someone she likes? Who is it?" Gu En rarely asked, but she was quite gossipy.
"Really?" Gu Si was a bit of a scatterbrain. Apart from noticing that Xue Qianyu had feelings for Gu Nian and Lu Zheng had feelings for Gu Xin, she couldn't tell the other couples' feelings unless they were fully expressed.
"Huh? No? Hehe, really no." Gu Yingxue waved her hand, then changed the subject, "Sisi, look, that young master looks just like Lord Huo!"
Gu Si was indeed drawn over.
“Brother Enzi, there are a few girls over there watching you!” Gu Yingxue said again.
"Tch!" Gu En shook his head and smiled, not even looking over.
He arrived in the capital earlier than everyone else last year. Over the years, he has been learning from Gu Shouxin and has changed the most in the Gu family besides Gu Xin. He has gotten used to the girls' gazes and doesn't care.
"Xue'er, you're mistaken. That person isn't as good-looking as Huo the Prodigy! And he doesn't look smart at all. Huo the Prodigy is the smartest person in our Great Zhou." Gu Si turned to Gu Yingxue and said seriously after confirming that the person was not as good-looking as Huo Junhao.
"Sisi, there's a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You two have been running around so much these days, you might have missed some things. I've been running into people every day at home." Gu Yingxue quickly changed the subject from Gu Ren's suggestion that she had someone she liked.
Sure enough, Gu Si asked again what had happened at home these past few days.
Actually, nothing much happened. It was just that Old Master Huo and his wife brought their third daughter-in-law to propose marriage to Huo Junhao, and then the Duke of Zhenguo also came with generous gifts.
