"In the end, Xin Xin drank the poisoned wine for Lu Zheng, took the sword for him, and handed over the evidence she had obtained from Lu Zheng's stepmother about her family's rebellion to him. Xin Xin died just like that."
"This involves the struggle for the throne at that time. Lu Zheng sided with the ninth prince, who was born to the Empress. His stepmother and the third prince's mother were sisters. So, after Xin Xin fell into his stepmother's hands, she didn't stay idle and collected a lot of incriminating evidence against him."
"Later, the Ninth Prince became the Crown Prince, and Lu Zheng became a member of the Crown Prince's faction. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Lu Zheng became second only to the Emperor. During this period, he did not marry. When the Emperor and others sent women to him, he took them as concubines. Xin Xin's memorial tablet is inscribed with Lu Zheng's wife."
“My nephew is a pervert. He wrote about Lu Zheng having many concubines, all of whom were given to him by others. But he also wrote about Lu Zheng not sleeping with any women after Xin Xin died. In short, he was just showing how devoted the male protagonist was, and how he remained chaste for the woman who had been with him through thick and thin.”
"As for the concubines, some of them look like Xin Xin, while others are as talented as Xin Xin! There's a reason why the book says this, and it will be explained later. I think it's just to show off their deep affection!"
"So why did he wait until someone was dead to give her a title? Why did he make a weak woman talk about so much struggle and put her in danger in the hands of the enemy? And then he pretended to do all that afterwards, it's disgusting!"
Gu Nian despises this kind of person.
"Oh dear, poor little Xin Xin. This male lead is terrible, and the original owner, Cai Xiaolian, and Gu Nian are terrible too. I will definitely treat her even better in the future!" Cai Xiaolian wiped away her tears.
She had already come to regard Gu Xin as her own daughter, and the thought of Gu Xin's ending in the book truly broke her heart.
"Crack!" Gu Shouxin broke one end of the fire poker, which had already broken into two pieces, into two more pieces.
"Father, Mother, what should we do? If he is Lu Zheng, should we cancel the cooperation?" Gu Nian asked.
"Of course! That kid is cunning, we can't let him get any closer to our Xin Xin!" Cai Xiaolian said without hesitation.
"No," Gu Shouxin shook his head.
"Your Excellency, we can't do this! We know he's a wolf, yet we let him into our house to steal our little lambs!" Cai Xiaolian protested.
“He’s a wolf, and right now he’s just a lone wolf! If we’re tigers, then his arrival would be like a wolf entering a tiger’s den! Rather than letting him sneak around developing his power, we should keep him close at hand and keep an eye on him. A wolf can’t steal a lamb protected by a tiger. Xin Xin is still young, and we can raise her from a lamb into a tiger cub. How can a tiger cub be snatched away by a wolf?” Gu Shouxin smiled.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian both found the smile incredibly creepy.
“Mom, I think Dad is right. He has his memories, but our Xin Xin doesn’t know anything. We’re so good to Xin Xin now, and she doesn’t lack love. She won’t be fooled by him.” Gu Nian thought for a moment and agreed with Gu Shouxin’s statement.
Now that they've already shown up, what's the point of trying to get rid of them? Unless they move as a family of four, which is impossible, as moving in ancient times was no easy feat.
"Also, let's lure him here tonight and test him. If he is, we'll put a sack over his head and beat him up to vent our anger, smashing his dog head in. Dad, can you beat him?" Gu Nian twirled his fist.
"How do you plan to lure them here?" Gu Shouxin asked instead of answering.
“Let someone send him a message. He might not believe anything else, but let’s have someone tell him that tonight, Father, you’re going to take advantage of the dark and windy night to sell us, the three of us. He’ll definitely come! That’s what he must have thought when we were at the gambling den,” Gu Nian said.
