Xue Qianyu patted Gu Nian's head, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, mounted his horse, and rode away.
Watching the departing figure, Gu Nian clutched her heart.
Cai Xiaolian came out of the gate, glanced at Xue Qianyu's back, and sighed.
She stepped forward and took Gu Nian's hand. This child is too easily influenced by the plot. In this world, they are all people with their own independent thoughts, not paper characters created by Gu Ren.
The character of Xue Qianyu in the book does not affect the character of the Xue Qianyu they encounter.
Between people, we should use our hearts to feel and understand each other, rather than judging a person based on hearsay.
Gu Nian held Cai Xiaolian's hand: "Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Cai Xiaolian shook her head: "Silly child, we are mother and daughter in this life. As long as your mother lives, you will always be your mother's child, and your mother should worry about you."
Gu Nian hugged Cai Xiaolian and buried her head in her shoulder, crying.
Cai Xiaolian patted her back and said, "That's life. No one can have a smooth journey. You have to go through things to grow up."
...
That night, Gu Xin was sleeping when she suddenly smelled the smell of burning paper money.
She sat up abruptly, put on her coat, lit the oil lamp, and went to the window to look out.
Then he climbed out the window and went to Gu Nian's room. Just then, Gu Hui also came out of her room.
Gu Nian's room was between them. The two sisters knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
Beside the dressing table, Gu Nian was throwing paper into a copper basin. She saw Gu Nian and Gu Xin and smiled: "Big sister, Xin Xin, you're still awake?"
Gu Xin ran over: "Sister, what are you doing? You scared me to death! I thought there was a fire."
Gu Hui pulled over two stools, and the three sisters sat together.
Gu Nian said, "Burn these letters written by Li Muyan."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin quickly grabbed the remaining items from the dressing table and helped burn them: "I thought you had already burned them! Sister, should I ask Baiyi to go to Li Muyan's place and find the letters you wrote to him, and burn them all!"
Before Gu Nian could answer, Gu Hui said, "Okay, burn them all. That way, no one will use the letters to make trouble later."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, take back everything my sister gave him. We're even with their family! It's really too much. Aunt Luo is such a good person, how could she raise such a son?"
Gu Hui: "Even good bamboo can produce bad shoots!"
Gu Xin laughed: "Big sister is right!"
Gu Nian nodded with a smile: "Big sister is right! I wouldn't give him my things, even if I threw them in the river!"
Gu Hui and Gu Xin were relieved. Gu Nian was back to normal. For the past six months, Gu Nian had basically avoided the topic of Li Muyan. Now that she talked about it, she seemed perfectly normal. She must have given up on him completely!
Gu Xin noticed that Gu Nian had a new bracelet on her wrist and asked curiously, "Sister, when did you buy this bracelet? I've never seen it before, and it's quite pretty."
Gu Nian looked at the bracelet on her wrist. She couldn't take it off, so she had to wear it. She didn't try to hide it and said generously, "Xue Qianyu gave it to me. He said he's already found a craftsman to make it, but it's taking a while and it might not be finished until next year. We'll each have one then."
Gu Hui smiled but didn't say anything.
Gu Xin couldn't help but tease, "We don't want it! This was specially made for my sister by Second Brother Xue. If I wanted it, I wouldn't let Second Brother Xue make it; I'd ask Brother Yuanyuan to make one for me, Sister Huihui, and Sister Sisi. Second Brother Xue can't just keep giving gifts to the four of us sisters; we have to show him some appreciation."
Gu Nian retorted, "Then your brother Yuanyuan wouldn't make it for three people! Whenever he gives you something, he never gives you three or four portions; it's always just for you!"
Gu Xin: ...I have a bold guess!
