"I'm not afraid. If something can happen in the capital, it just means the Emperor is incompetent and didn't protect me properly," Gu Xin said.
Cai Xiaolian shook her head helplessly.
Because their children had met the emperor before, without knowing his identity, and because the emperor later became very close to their family, the children were no longer afraid of him.
She was afraid that one day the emperor would suddenly change and frighten her children.
"Mom, what do you think Lu Ni will do to get close to the Emperor? Hanhan said there would be a good show on the second day of the second lunar month, but nothing happened yesterday. Do you think Lu Ni failed, or that she didn't plan anything at all?" Gu Xin asked again.
“Although our Emperor seems as unreliable as your uncle, he’s not stupid. He’s perfectly intelligent. There haven’t been any imperial concubine selections all these years, and Lu Ni isn’t some celestial being descended to earth; she’s just a young girl. It’s no wonder she can’t succeed. So, you should stay out of these things. If she’s going to court disaster, just watch from afar.” Cai Xiaolian once again felt that Lu Zheng’s family was causing too much trouble.
To be honest, she was satisfied with Lu Zheng, but her family situation was rather troublesome.
This stepmother is cunning, and her stepsister is no better. There's no reason to be overly cautious. This kind of family is really annoying.
Cai Xiaolian preferred a marriage between two families of similar social standing, as both families were similar in terms of education and family background.
Just like Gu Nian and Xue Qianyu, the two children have compatible personalities. The Xue family doesn't have many problems and has long since separated to live their own lives. The Xue couple are not difficult to get along with, and they won't nag or interfere in the young couple's affairs. The Gu family is even less likely to do so. With Grandpa and Grandma Gu supporting them, which of the younger generation would dare to cause trouble?
The Lu family was the complete opposite of the Xue family.
Several families living together without separating the household is understandable if the old master and old lady were still alive. But the old master and old lady have passed away, and the brothers still haven't separated the household. The Duke of Zhenguo is really not doing a good job as the head of the family.
Cai Xiaolian heard Gu Shouxin say that there must be a secret on the side of the Duke of Zhenguo. Gu Shouxin guessed that he might not have any feelings for Lin Shi. He guessed that he had been suffering from the death of Xiao Jia Jie all these years and had not cared about the family, which led to the Lu family's situation.
But whatever the reason, it's wrong for a grown man like you to let your family be like this.
"Mom, let's not talk about Lu Ni, don't be angry!" Gu Xin leaned against Cai Xiaolian and said, "Mom, do you think if I go and tell Great-Grandma that I want to go to the yamen to watch the trial, will Great-Grandma agree?"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.
"It's not that I'm particularly interested. I just feel that the process of finding the truth is quite enjoyable. Anyway, I don't have much else to do," Gu Xin explained.
“This government office is just like a clinic. A clinic doesn’t want many customers; it only wants everyone to be safe and healthy. A government office certainly doesn’t want many cases either. A big case means that innocent people will die. Xin Xin, your excited and agitated mood is not good,” Cai Xiaolian said seriously.
“But Mother, the case doesn’t necessarily have to be a murder case! It could be theft, robbery, or something else. I can find clues, help them find the ringleader, find the robbers, and make the capital city more and more peaceful! Mother, just tell me, will Great-Grandma agree?” Gu Xin retorted.
