Chapter 484 Sister, are you alright?
"I'm sorry, just now..." Gu Xi didn't see Tang Si behind the crowd. She was frail, but she still bowed to Tang Bugui and the others.
Little Su Bao immediately ran over and grabbed Gu Xi's hand.
She saw her fourth brother's extremely painful expression in that scene.
"Sister, are you alright?" Xiao Su Bao asked anxiously.
Gu Xi was stunned. Looking at the little dumpling with starry eyes, her heart softened instinctively.
"I'm fine!"
Gu Xi shook her head.
Tang Si tried to step forward, but his foot slipped and landed on a broken bowl, causing him to rush forward instantly.
Everyone...
Tang Bugui was still on his horse; the others simply couldn't catch up.
Almost at that moment, Xiao Su Bao subconsciously reached out and grabbed Tang Si's sleeve.
With a tearing sound, Tang Si's sleeve snapped.
When Gu Xi saw Tang Si's face, she instinctively wanted to help, but the next moment Tang Si pulled her down with him.
Fortunately, Gu Xi fell on Tang Si without getting hurt.
but……
"This...this..." Gu Xi's pale cheeks instantly turned red.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
"Senior Tang Si..." Gu Xi's voice trembled as she subconsciously pinched Tang Si's face.
Tang Si's face flushed red instantly.
Gu Xuedi's hands are so soft!
No, now is not the time to talk about that.
He was so excited that he forgot about the rule that men and women should not touch each other!
Gu Xi also forgot that she thought she would never see Tang Si again in her life.
After all, Tang Si's family wasn't having an easy time!
Thinking of this, the happiness that had just risen in Gu Xi's eyes disappeared considerably.
"Why have you come to the capital? Are you here to... find me?"
She didn't say the last few words, but her eyes held a hint of anticipation.
I've come to find you!
Tang Si looked at the girl, a slight glint in his eyes.
For a period of time, Tang Si and his uncle Tang Yu had a very tough time. In addition to studying and attending classes every day, they also had to carry heavy loads at the docks at night.
That time Tang Si fainted from hunger, it was Gu Xi who helped him...
The two went from strangers to acquaintances, and then to falling in love.
Gu Xi's body trembled slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of trembling.
"Miss, you..." Just then, a maidservant got off the carriage with a grim expression.
Seeing this, he quickly reached out and pulled his daughter up.
There was a hint of surprise and disdain in his eyes.
"Young lady, do you not care about your reputation? How can you speak with such a disreputable person? If Madam finds out about this, you'll be severely punished. What if Madam..."
Before the maid could say anything more, Xiao Su Bao, who was standing nearby, immediately objected.
She reached out and pulled her fourth brother up, her little face stern as she said, "My fourth brother is not a disreputable person!"
The maid glanced at Xiao Su Bao and felt a slight disdain upon seeing the girl's ordinary clothes.
Looking at Tang Si, the clothes he was wearing were all carefully sewn by Qian Shi before he left. Although the fabric was not the best, it was the softest to wear.
The maid was alright when she looked at Xiao Su Bao, but when she looked at Tang Si, the disdain in her eyes was obvious.
Tang Si's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, Gu Xi's voice came: "Qiao'er, shut up!"
Qiao'er's expression changed slightly, and she immediately abandoned Gu Xi.
“Miss, today is the day you and Young Master Wei are to meet. If you act like this, don’t blame me for telling the mistress about it when I get back!”
Qiao'er snorted, showing no regard for Gu Xi's feelings.
Xiao Su Bao's face darkened instantly, and she looked at the maid with a very unfriendly gaze.
She opened her third eye and, sure enough, this maid Qiao'er carried a lot of karmic aura!
The little dumpling was a bit angry.
You're bad!
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she also shielded Gu Xi behind her.
Tang Si immediately stood in front of Gu Xi to protect her; he was no longer the poor boy he used to be.
Putting aside the fact that Tang Bugui is a great general, he himself has not only dined with the emperor, but is also accompanied by princes and princesses. What does he have to be afraid of?
"You sharp-tongued girl! You talk so much about your mistress in public; anyone who didn't know better would think you were the young lady!"
Tang Si was usually very gentle, but at this moment he was filled with anger.
Qiao'er's face was very ugly. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xi stepped forward and slapped Qiao'er across the face.
"You...you're insane!" Qiao'er's eyes widened; she was the Madam's woman!
How dare the young lady hit me?
"You're nothing but a maid. Your indenture is still in my hands. Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant in front of me time and time again!" Gu Xi looked coldly at the maid in front of her, the coldness in her eyes making the maid's hair stand on end instantly.
Qiao'er was about to say something when she heard Xiao Su Bao's voice: "Sister is awesome!"
The coldness on Gu Xi's face vanished instantly upon hearing Xiao Su Bao's words.
The second prince, standing to the side, stroked his chin, wondering whose daughter the girl in front of him was.
At this moment, the Third Prince came over, glanced at Gu Xi, and then looked at his second brother's thoughtful expression.
He walked up to his second brother and said, "This is the fifth-rank infantry commander, who just came to the capital last year!"
The second prince raised an eyebrow. This guy actually knew it himself; he usually seemed quite shrewd.
“This girl should be Gu Xi, the eldest daughter of Commander Gu!” The Third Prince paused and continued.
The second prince couldn't help but feel a headache as he watched his younger brother rattle off these things as if they were his own treasures.
"Alright, alright, stop talking, it's giving me a headache!"
The second prince waved his hand and walked up to the group of people.
After all, Tang Si and he had a good relationship, so he naturally wanted to support Tang Si.
"Even the maids in the Gu family can bully their masters. It's clear that Commander Gu must be too busy on weekdays. He should take it easy in the future!"
The second prince spoke softly, his eyes sweeping over Qiao'er.
Qiao'er's expression changed drastically in an instant. Although she didn't know the Second Prince, his demeanor and clothing made him seem extraordinary!
Besides, he could actually say something like that!
Qiao'er's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"I...you..." Qiao'er panicked. After all, her master was only a fifth-rank commander, and there were too many high-ranking officials in the capital!
But how could the young lady, who came from the countryside, know such important people in the capital? Just as she was wondering about this, she saw a guard walk up to her.
"Leave this maid to Commander Gu, and also deliver my message!"
The second prince spoke calmly, then turned to Little Su Bao and said, "Isn't your second uncle amazing?"
Little Su Bao...
She thought for a moment, then said very seriously, "Amazing!"
The second prince immediately smiled, turned to Tang Si and said, "Tang Si, why don't you bring Miss Gu over to eat Zhengao together!"
Gu Xi rarely went out and did not know the Second Prince.
But she was still quite knowledgeable. The Second Prince's clothes were made of extremely valuable Yun brocade, and she had only seen the embroidery technique on them once before.
The veil of the wedding dress left by her mother was embroidered by a palace embroiderer, and the technique was exactly the same as the embroidery on the Second Prince's clothes.
Gu Xi's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Tang Si.
Tang Si saw the question in Gu Xi's eyes, so he decided not to hide anything: "This is His Highness the Second Prince, and this is His Highness the Third Prince..."
Gu Xi turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to kneel down.
Tang Si felt a pang of heartache seeing Gu Xi like this.
"Alright, no need for formalities. Come on over and have something delicious. This place has really good steamed rice cakes!"
Gu Xi looked up at Tang Si, but before she could speak, her hand was grabbed by Xiao Su Bao.
"Sister Gu, let's go eat some steamed rice cake! Grandpa's steamed rice cake is really delicious!"
Little Su Bao's voice is soft, and her hands are soft too.
He pulled Gu Xi and walked straight ahead.
When she reached Tang Bugui, the little dumpling said to Gu Xi, "Sister Gu, this is Su Bao's daddy. By the way, I'm Su Bao, and I'm Fourth Brother's sister!"
Gu Xi was taken aback. She remembered that Tang Si was the youngest in the family!
Why is there an extra little sister?
However, I must say, Xiao Su Bao is really cute.
They are so much better off than their own younger siblings...
Thinking of this, Gu Xi's smile faded slightly.
She glanced at Tang Si out of the corner of her eye, but in the end, she could only purse her lips.
If possible, I would rather stay in An County forever, perhaps...
Unfortunately, I'm not good enough!
"Senior Tang, how is the private school doing after I left?"
Gu Xi asked, seemingly casually.
Tang Si paused, then thought for a moment and said, "You're still the same as before. But you, how have you been doing in the capital for over a year?"
Gu Xi felt a lump in her throat as she listened to Tang Si's question. Everyone else thought she had come here to enjoy a life of luxury with her father.
But who knew that after her mother's death, her father would elevate his concubine to the status of his second wife, and how difficult her life would become?
Gu Xi clenched her fists slightly, her smile fading slightly: "I'm fine..."
"It's wrong for you to lie, sister!" Little Su Bao's sweet, childlike voice rang out, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Gu Xi.
The latter felt inexplicably unsettled by the gaze.
Tang Si naturally knew his younger sister's abilities, and at this moment, he looked at Gu Xi with worry in his eyes.
The third prince nudged his second brother and then said, "These two people..."
"You're only just realizing it?"
The second prince, too lazy to pay attention to his foolish younger brother, turned around and said, "Can't you see whether she's doing well or not? She was just bullied by a maid, how could she be doing well!"
Tang Si blushed upon hearing the Second Prince's words. He was so excited to see her that he had forgotten what had happened before.
The Third Prince...
Is this still my second brother who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business?
Why is this second brother suddenly turning into the matchmaker?
"Also, have you forgotten that Miss Gu is going to a matchmaking event today? You're interrupting her wonderful marriage, why don't you just marry her!"
Tang Si is getting old enough. Now that Tang Shan is married, only Tang Si is left.
Tang Si's cheeks flushed red, and he became quite embarrassed.
Because I recently got a tan, I look even darker now.
"I...I..." Tang Si panicked, not knowing what to say.
Looking at Tang Si's expression, Gu Xi thought that Tang Si had no feelings for her. She forgot that Tang Si had said that he came to find her.
Gu Xi clenched her fists slightly, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I do!" Tang Si, who had been looking at Gu Xi, shouted when he saw the girl's dejected look.
The Second Prince was amused by Tang Si's appearance, after all, Tang Si always acted like a little adult back in Tang Family Village.
When he's too carefree, his own father will compare him to this guy.
"Pfft, even if you're willing, the girl might not be, right, Miss Gu? Look at this young man of ours, he's good-looking and has caught my father's eye, he's sure to have a bright future..."
Seeing that his second brother was about to spout nonsense, the third prince quickly stepped forward and covered his brother's mouth.
"Second brother, if you don't want to be punished by the Crown Prince, don't talk nonsense!"
The Third Prince glanced at the young girl from the Gu family, then at Little Su Bao.
Although there shouldn't be any problem with the girl that Xiaosubao likes, we still need to be careful in everything we do.
Moreover, matters concerning the Gu family are rather complicated.
The current matriarch of the Gu family is actually the lost daughter of the Empress Dowager Cao family.
If it weren't for this, the original matriarch of the Gu family wouldn't have been murdered...
The eldest daughter of the Gu family is well-behaved, but she is too naive. A person like that can't survive in the capital!
Besides, Tang Si wants to pursue a career in government!
Thinking of this, the Third Prince said, "Alright, weren't we going to buy some incense? Let's go!"
Although the second prince knew this was the third prince's excuse, he still nodded nonetheless.
Tang Bugui stood to the side, his gaze sweeping over Tang Si and Tang Bugui before finally settling on his daughter.
It's clear that the daughter really wants to bring the two of them together.
If that's the case, then we can let Tang Si give it a try!
They're all from the military; an infantry commander is easy to control!
Little Su Bao had no idea that these scheming people had already thought so much.
At this moment, she could see that her fourth brother and this beautiful older sister were tightly bound together by a red thread.
The two are indeed very destined for each other!
"By the way, your horses just smashed the boss's stall, you should give him some compensation!" The Second Prince said, glancing at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was slightly taken aback, but quickly took out a five-tael silver ingot from her purse and handed it over.
This was only because I was going out; otherwise, my stepmother wouldn't have had this much money.
Thinking back on what had just happened, she was still terrified.
Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise his reputation would probably be even worse!
"I'm sorry about what happened before. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't be too polite!" Gu Xi said to the old man with a face full of guilt.
The old man scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He looked at his handcart, then at Gu Xi, and said, "We don't need so much silver. It's just a handcart; two hundred coins will be enough!"
Gu Xi was taken aback, a little embarrassed: "I... only have this one ingot of silver..."
She only had five taels of silver left...
Tang Si, who was standing to the side, took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the old man.
"Boss, this isn't much silver left, please take it!"
Without saying a word, Tang Si stuffed the silver into the old man's hand.
The old man, who had been somewhat frightened, now looked at everyone with a smile.
"Then thank you, young master..."
The old man also experienced flying today...
Thinking of something, the old man looked at Xiao Su Bao with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
I felt like I was being thrown over there in a flash, it was like a dream.
When Old Man Ha said goodbye, Tang Si simply bought all of his steamed rice cakes.
These things taste good, and you can eat them again after wrapping them in lotus leaves.
"Do you want to come with us?" Tang Si asked Gu Xi.
The thought of Gu Xi going to meet that Young Master Wei made Tang Si feel uneasy.
Gu Xi looked at Tang Si, whose brows were furrowed, and smiled: "I'm not going!"
After saying that, Gu Xi seemed to transform back into that little girl in the private school.
"I'm going with my brother!" Gu Xi blinked and said to Tang Si with a grin.
She was a broken beauty before, but now she is radiant.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but say, "Sister, I can take your pulse. Let me check your health!"
Gu Xi was taken aback, but looking at the adorable little dumpling, she didn't refuse.
She held out her hand to the little girl: "Thank you for your help!"
Gu Xi didn't think that a child as young as Xiao Su Bao could be treated, but the little girl was so cute, how could she refuse her request!
Little Su Bao held Gu Xi's hand and walked alongside her.
After a moment, Xiao Su Bao said, "Sister, your health is probably caused by not eating enough for a long time, and..."
Little Su Bao paused for a moment before saying, "You seem to be poisoned!"
Gu Xi's expression changed slightly, and then she looked at Xiao Su Bao with surprise.
How did Xiao Su Bao know that she was poisoned?
I only recently discovered this myself!
"Hmm, but the poison isn't very deep. Su Bao has some antidote pills, would you like to take some, sister?"
Little Su Bao took a small bottle out of her bag.
She skillfully poured out a grayish-brown pill and handed it to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi paused, pinched the pill, glanced at it, and then put it in her mouth.
Tang Si looked at Gu Xi, who was still acting so silly, and couldn't help but shake his head.
How could someone with her personality possibly survive under her stepmother's rule...?
After a pause, Tang Si asked, "Would you like some water?"
He noticed the teahouse next door and said to Gu Xi, "Why don't we go in and have a cup of tea first?"
Gu Xi blushed slightly and glanced at the others.
"It's alright, you guys go ahead!"
The second prince waved his hand, signaling the two men to follow Tang Si.
Tang Bugui glanced at Tang Si, thought for a moment, and handed his money pouch to Hong Yue: "Keep an eye on them, don't let them get scammed!"
Hong Yue nodded, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
After seeing Gu Xi eat the pills, Xiao Su Bao said, "After you finish this medicine, you'll probably need to poop. But don't worry if you encounter the same kind of poison again!"
Gu Xi's eyes lit up slightly, filled with surprise.
She wanted to say something more, but soon she felt something in her stomach.
The two, along with their guards and Hong Yue, hurried to the teahouse.
Gu Xi couldn't care less about being reserved anymore and went to the toilet while clutching her stomach.
Tang Si wanted to keep up, but felt it wasn't appropriate.
Hong Yue said sweetly, "Young Master Tang, there's no need to worry. I'll go with you!"
Tang Si looked at Hong Yue and quickly clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.
"Thank you, Sister Hongyue!"
"You have such a sweet tongue, no wonder you're so lovable!"
Hong Yue said with a smile, which startled Tang Si so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Little Su Bao has no idea what's going on here.
Tang Bugui carried Xiao Su Bao around in a big circle, and Tang Bugui had someone buy and send home anything the little dumpling liked.
It wasn't until two hours later that they leisurely strolled to General Su's mansion!
Su Shan seemed to have known they were coming all along, and had someone keeping watch at the door well in advance.
Upon seeing Tang Bugui and his group arrive, the steward hurriedly came out to greet them and sent someone to fetch his own general.
Su Shan gave Tang Bugui and the others the news last night.
At this moment, Su Shan looked at the woman in front of him with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
Emil actually changed into the clothes of the Great Shang Kingdom and dressed as a woman.
That's not all; when she saw him, she actually called him "husband"...
What the heck!
"Your Highness, what is this..." Su Shan's lips twitched violently, completely baffled as to what was wrong with this princess!
"This princess is simply adapting to local customs!"
Emil blinked and placed the dishes she had made on the table.
Su Shan dared not eat it, and could only say helplessly, "This isn't doing as the Romans do; you're practically barging into their homes by taking it!"
This is as clear as day!
Emil, dressed in the clothes of the Great Shang Kingdom, twirled around.
She still really likes how she looks dressed!
Although it's my first time wearing so much fabric, I'm a little unaccustomed to it.
"You carried me back and saved me. In your Great Shang Kingdom's terms, what do you call this? Saving my life is a debt I can't repay. I can only repay you with my body!" After saying this, Emil leaned closer and blinked at Su Shan.
Su Shan...
"There's absolutely no need for that!" Su Shan's lips twitched.
Finally, he said, "I'm married!"
"It's okay, I know you're divorced now!"
Princess Emil chuckled and said.
“I…have two more children…” Su Shan continued, remembering Tang Bugui’s words.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I just don't want to have any more children. You have two kids, so you can raise them as our own!"
Emil's smile widened, and he even clapped his hands excitedly.
Su Shan...
What's going on here? Doesn't this woman know that she doesn't want to get married?
Marrying Lin Wan once was enough. Now that he has a child, his parents definitely won't pressure him anymore!
He only wanted to fight and achieve great things!
These days, the most I do is raise my own children!
As for other things, he really didn't want to think about them that much!
"Young Master, General Tang and the others are here!"
Just then, the butler rushed in and said to them.
Upon hearing this, Su Shan, who had been driven to madness, suddenly brightened up.
This woman is too clingy...
As soon as the group entered, Su Shan rushed over.
"My dear brother, please save me! Has Princess Emil gone mad? She insists on marrying me!"
Su Shan whispered in Tang Bugui's ear.
Tang Bugui glanced at his brother, a smile playing on his lips.
Little Su Bao stood aside, watching this scene, her eyes lighting up slightly.
