Gu Nian screamed in fright, but before she could even open her mouth to make a sound, Cai Xiaolian covered her mouth.
Gu Shouxin frowned and said, "Don't make a sound, or you'll wake Xinxin up."
Gu Niankuang nodded, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty, signaling Cai Xiaolian to let go.
What's the situation with these parents?
Did he realize that something was wrong with him?
Looking at Gu Nian's eyes, Gu Shouxin felt that the two of them had guessed correctly, so he said, "I'll go to the kitchen to make a fire, and we'll talk in front of the stove. It's cold here, and we might wake Xin Xin up."
After saying that, he went out.
Cai Xiaolian smirked. This guy is probably a eunuch who didn't have children before, which is why he likes Xiao Xinxin so much.
It's worth mentioning that even she, who doesn't have children, really likes Xiao Xinxin.
Cai Xiaolian had already confided in Gu Shouxin, so it was much easier to bring it up now: "You're not the original Gu Nian, are you? Where did you come from?"
Gu Nian's movements faltered.
Sure enough, they were all transmigrators. In her nephew's book world, besides her, there were other transmigrators as well. She wondered if they were like her, transmigrating into the book.
"You figured it out? Sigh, I knew this would happen. I should have kept pretending to have amnesia."
Gu Nian said somewhat dejectedly.
If she continues to feign amnesia, perhaps no one will notice.
Cai Xiaolian lit the oil lamp in Gu Nian's room, nodded, and then said in surprise, "Hmm, I can tell. But why are you pretending to have amnesia? You don't have the original owner's memories? Then how do you know who's in the family?"
Gu Nian said aggrievedly, "Yes! Not at all. If this book hadn't been written by my nephew, I wouldn't have been able to name any family members at all."
Cai Xiaolian was somewhat surprised: "Your nephew's book?"
Gu Nian nodded, then said dejectedly, "Yes, it's a book my nephew wrote. Gu Xin is the female lead. Gu's father sold his daughter to pay off debts, then stole Gu's mother's dowry and ran away. Gu's mother struggled to survive with Gu Nian. Later, they met the female lead who had also been sold. The mother and daughter felt they hadn't lived well all these years, so they schemed against the female lead in every way possible, and in the end, they died tragically. Coincidentally, my sister-in-law often uses me to educate my nephew, and my nephew hates me, so he used my name to write about this wicked older sister! Sigh!"
Cai Xiaolian didn't know what to say: "Let's go find Gu Shouxin first. Let's discuss the situation and see what our plans are for the future."
After putting on her shoes, Gu Nian was still chilled by the suddenness of getting out of bed. She jumped up a few times, rubbed her hands, and followed Cai Xiaolian to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Gu Shouxin had already lit a fire and heated water in the stove.
Gu Shouxin got up and invited the mother and daughter to sit down, saying, "You two sit for a while. The water is almost ready. The fire in the stove hasn't gone out yet. I just added some firewood. It should be ready soon. Have some hot water first."
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian both stared longingly at Gu Shouxin.
I don't know if this person is just pretending to be so considerate, or if they are genuinely this considerate.
If it's always been this thoughtful, it would be nice to treat this place as home.
Soon, Gu Shouxin poured a bowl of boiling water for each of them.
He took a sip himself and felt it was a little off. As a high-ranking official, he would never drink plain water; he only drank the finest tea and the best wine.
He took only a sip, then placed it on the stove and said, "We are not from this world, but since we have met by chance, I will treat you sincerely. Let me tell you my plans first!"
