Gu Shouxin didn't scold Gu Xin; he simply returned all the things to her and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Gu Xin was taken aback, then nodded vigorously: "I've thought it through, Father and Mother. I've seen Fourth Uncle propose to Fourth Aunt, I've seen Eldest Sister and Brother Peng, and I've seen Sister and Brother Xue. I know very clearly in my heart that I want to marry Brother Yuanyuan."
Gu Shouxin nodded and asked, "Although you two are in love and you'll be of marriageable age next year, there are still some things going on at A-Yuan's family. Let me be clear: if he can't resolve his family's issues, I won't allow you to get engaged. Don't interrupt me. He's the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo. He was harmed by villains when he was young, but he managed to escape. However, his identity is clear to the Emperor. I can't let you marry someone who lives in anonymity. He must clear his name and get what he deserves. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable marrying you to a man who can't even manage his own family. Do you understand?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Dad, I understand what you mean. I believe Yuanyuan, hehe, so Dad and Mom have agreed to my request! If anyone wants to propose marriage in the future, you must refuse them! I'm already fourteen. I remember when my sister was fourteen, so many people liked her. It was so troublesome. I don't want to be so troublesome at all."
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian exchanged a glance. Niannian didn't want to go through all that trouble either. Fortunately, the child has recovered now.
Gu Shouxin didn't continue on that topic and instead asked about Gu Xin's hurried trip to the Peng residence.
Gu Xin recounted the events and then shared her own perspective.
Cai Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief and then praised her: "Xinxin did the right thing. When the situation is unknown, we can't take risks. We are just ordinary people, and it's enough to do what we can. Don't be reckless."
Gu Xin nodded: "I know, Mom. I'm very obedient. I also promised Brother Yuanyuan that I would grow up happily in Kuncheng and wait for him to come back! Who knows if there are any traps or mechanisms around that cave. I'm a child, and children have to ask adults for help with things they can't solve."
The couple were very satisfied with Gu Xin's ideas. She was not reckless or arrogant, knew how to protect herself, and always put her own safety first. Their daughter was really good!
Gu Xin wasn't scolded; she carried a large stack of house deeds and land deeds back to her room.
It was afternoon, and she hadn't had lunch yet. After putting her things away, she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After filling her stomach, she went to the trading area to find Gu Si.
Bai Er returned after dark and told Gu Xin about the situation at the cave. The Peng family army had taken over the entire area. Peng Wulang and his men had surrounded the cave. Although there weren't many people, they would be able to detect whether people or animals entered or left the cave.
After listening to this, Gu Xin went to sleep.
Days passed one by one, and construction began on the mixed city outside the west gate. The city wall on the west side of the mixed city was not as high as the city wall on the side of the Kun city. Gu Shouxin had thought it through. With these five countries living together, their Great Zhou had no responsibility or obligation to guarantee their safety. Those who could come out to do business already had a foundation.
If the Kingdom of Lange wants to cause trouble, this is a good opportunity to let the people living in Kuncheng see which place is more livable.
In mid-February, the Peng family received another letter from Gu Hui.
