Gu Xin held Gu Nian's hand: "Sister, don't be sad. I'll help you take care of things from now on."
Gu Nian laughed: "How are you going to deal with him?"
Gu Xin said with a serious face, "Don't worry, sister, I'll keep an eye on him and not let him get close to you! Also, I'll study hard and start teaching him as soon as he can talk and walk. If he doesn't understand, I'll slap his hand. I want him to be like the prodigy Huo and take the imperial examination at the age of twelve! Brother Enzi said that his most painful thing was studying. I'll make Renren suffer from a young age!"
"Hahahaha..." Gu Nian was amused by Gu Xin. "Okay, Xin Xin, I'll entrust him to you from now on and let him take the imperial examination at the age of twelve."
Gu Nian suddenly wished time would pass faster so that Gu Erdan could grow up quickly. She couldn't wait to see Gu Erdan's painful state as Xiao Xinxin forced him to study.
That kid never liked studying when he was little. In elementary school, he only liked Chinese and music classes. When he grew up, he applied to music academies. As a result, he started writing novels while in college.
Let the storm rage even harder on Gu Erdan!
Seeing Gu Nian smile, Gu Xin was also happy: "Sister, I'm going to take a shower now, don't be sad!"
Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, I'm not sad anymore! With Xiao Xinxin here, I'm not sad at all!"
She had just been so upset by the sudden news that her brother and sister-in-law's family had met with an accident that she cried.

In the evening, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian returned. Empress Dowager Jiang did not come with them. She planned to stay in the prefectural city for a few more days and then come back with Madam Li when she returned at the end of the month to pick up the goods.
As her bodyguard, Xue Qianyu naturally remained in the city.
When the couple arrived at the village entrance, they encountered people they didn't want to see: Xu Changfeng and his mother.
The couple drove on, acting as if they hadn't seen the two of them at all.
Xu Changfeng jumped down from the carriage and stopped the carriage driven by Gu Shouxin.
"Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, please wait a moment, I have something to say." Xu Changfeng stood in front of the horse and said earnestly.
"Who are you?" Gu Shouxin glanced at Xu Changfeng, somewhat impatiently.
His eldest daughter is so pitiful, always being bothered by these people.
“Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, I, Xu Changfeng, have been seeing Niannian for a long time and we were about to get married. But Niannian has stopped talking to me this year,” Xu Changfeng said.
“Kid, watch your mouth! Who’s talking about marriage with you? Her father and I don’t even know you, so how could we be talking about marriage?” Cai Xiaolian said.
“Isn’t that right? Son, this isn’t marriage, it’s clandestine exchange! The girl is so shameless! Anyway, our family isn’t losing out!” Xu Changfeng’s mother got off the carriage and gave Cai Xiaolian a disdainful look.
"Mother, you're not allowed to talk about Niannian like that!" Xu Changfeng turned around and roared.
Gu Shouxin lashed out with his whip, striking Xu Changfeng's mother directly in the face.
"Ah!" Xu Niang was thrown to the ground, covering her face and looking at Gu Shouxin in horror.
The Xu family's coachman got out of the carriage and glared angrily at Gu Shouxin.
"If your mouth is dirty, you don't have to go." Gu Shouxin looked at Xu Niang coldly.
"Second Uncle Gu, my mother had no intention of offending you, but your actions are a bit too harsh!" Xu Changfeng supported his mother and looked at Gu Shouxin with dissatisfaction.
"Your mother is having an affair, going out and seducing other men behind your back, do you know that?" Cai Xiaolian sneered and asked.
"Aunt Lian, please watch your words!" Xu Changfeng exclaimed in alarm.
"So what if I'm careful with my words? Do you want to hit me? Your mother said something about my daughter, but how badly did her father hit your mother?" Cai Xiaolian stopped smiling and looked coldly at Xu Changfeng.
Xu Changfeng: ...
