Since everyone there was a junior, the banquet was held in Li Muyan's courtyard.
Besides Zhu Mingsheng, there were more than ten young men and women of similar age, including Su Yan, the daughter of the prefect.
This was also the first time that the four Gu sisters had played with the young masters and ladies of wealthy families in the capital.
Because they knew the Gu sisters were from their family, they didn't encounter any provocative or disdainful remarks at the banquet.
After playing all night, the Gu sisters realized that they didn't enjoy being with Su Yan and Li Han as much as with other young masters and ladies.
After dinner, everyone else left after giving their gifts, leaving only Zhu Mingsheng.
Throughout the process, Zhu Mingsheng kept glancing at Gu Nian, which Gu Nian didn't like.
"Niannian, thank you! I like this." Li Muyan pointed to the gift and said to Gu Nian.
The three Gu sisters smiled but said nothing.
"Li Muyan, you should thank us. This is what we sisters chose for you together. I'm glad you like it," Gu Nian said somewhat awkwardly.
She always felt that her relationship with Li Muyan was somewhat abnormal.
If you're talking about dating, unfortunately she can't find that feeling of being in a relationship. Sometimes she feels awkward and embarrassed.
If you say they're not dating, then their way of getting along is rather strange.
Normally, I would write a letter every one or two days. In addition to discussing official matters, the letter would also mention other things.
But she just couldn't find that feeling.
Gu Ren had asked her before, "What kind of feeling are you looking for?"
Gu Nian herself couldn't explain it, but in her opinion, this wasn't how dating should be.
Upon hearing his reply, Li Muyan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "I wasn't finished yet! Thank you Huihui, thank you Niannian, thank you Xinxin, thank you Sisi!"
Zhu Mingsheng laughed from the side: "Second Miss Gu, are you embarrassed? Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You and Mu Yan are both interested in each other. Be more open and frank, and you won't feel so awkward."
Gu Nian glanced at Zhu Mingsheng in surprise. How did he know she was embarrassed?
Li Muyan nudged Zhu Mingsheng with his elbow and looked at Gu Nian, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he's always like this."
"Young master, something terrible has happened!" At this moment, A-Dong rushed over and shouted.
Li Muyan frowned and looked at A Dong: "You're getting more and more unruly. What's the matter that you're in such a panic? There are guests here!"
Ah Dong said, "The First Madam wanted to kill the Fourth Miss! But she was beaten to death by Master Jiang's personal attendant!"
Gu Xin frowned. Why did she always think of Li Shan whenever something happened to the Li family?
Li Muyan rushed over.
Zhu Mingsheng hadn't originally planned to join in the fun, but when he saw that the four Gu sisters had gone along, he hesitated for a moment and then followed them.
Inside the Li family's small Buddhist hall, Li Yue and Li Han lay prostrate beside Madam Li, while Li Shan clutched Xie Shi's sleeve, trembling.
Besides the old lady and Madam Li, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were also here.
The couple felt like they'd had the worst luck imaginable; they just couldn't believe anything could happen to them. They didn't want to come along, but Madam Li insisted on going too, thinking they were just having a fight. Little did they expect that they would actually kill each other.
When the two sisters saw that they had also come over, Cai Xiaolian held Gu Xin and Gu Si in her arms, preventing them from seeing the deceased Madam Li.
"Report to the authorities! Please grant my request, Grandmother!" Li Yue knelt before Madam Li.
