"You're getting bolder and bolder."
Gu Jinxi also looked aggrieved.
"But Mother, didn't you tell Xier to deliberately obey him?"
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but reach out and poke his head.
"When did I ever tell you to obey him?"
"I wanted to tell you not to trust strangers, but you actually put on an act."
"I think I'll confiscate all your sketchbooks when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi immediately pouted, her face full of displeasure.
Seeing that pleading with Gu Jingchun was useless, he turned to look at Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan looked helpless.
"You know I'm afraid of your mother myself, let alone helping you."
Gu Jinxi: ...
"Father is really useless."
Shen Hechuan: ...
On the way back.
Gu Jinxi had already fallen asleep in Shen Hechuan's arms.
Gu Jingchun leaned against Shen Hechuan, his face grave.
She never expected to see Guan Zhixin here again.
Guan Zhixin is Gu Jingchun's mentor.
He was someone like her father.
The things she knows now were basically taught to her by Guan Zhixin.
He was a man with a bad temper, and his favorite thing to do every day was to stroke his beard and check her homework.
Gu Jingchun's favorite thing to do was pluck his beard.
Back then, she plucked his beard quite a bit.
Every time, he would glare at her and chase after her with a whisk to beat her up.
Whenever this happens, Mei Xueli will appear with food or snacks, trying to persuade Guan Zhixin while protecting Gu Jingchun behind her.
When Guan Zhixin sees Mei Xueli, she quiets down and a blush appears on her face.
Later, she learned everything and even surpassed his skills.
Guan Zhixin nodded repeatedly with delight, saying that she was truly a genius.
Then, he gave her two books and said that he had nothing more to teach her, and told her to see for herself if there was anything in the books she wanted to learn.
Gu Jingchun nodded and began his own research.
Mei Xueli and Guan Zhixin remained the same as before, one silently attending to his daily needs, and the other blushing whenever she saw him.
At that time, Gu Jingchun naively believed that Guan Zhixin and Mei Xueli would end up together.
After all, she genuinely liked Guan Zhixin and truly wanted him to be her father.
However, everything changed after Gu Jingchun became pregnant.
Gu Jingchun also began to have his own manpower at that time.
However, after she became pregnant, she went home immediately.
When Mei Xueli heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen and kept asking her who the father of the child was.
Gu Jingchun did not intend to tell her about his upcoming trip to Tiandu to seek revenge.
They then said that the man had been killed by bandits.
Mei Xueli then cried for a while, crying about her own miserable fate, Gu Jingchun's miserable fate, and the miserable fate of the child in her womb.
But after crying, she quickly prepared all sorts of food and other things for Gu Jingchun.
Later, she even embroidered a small bib for Gu Jinxi herself.
So what did Guan Zhixin do at that time?
For some reason, he kept staring at Gu Jingchun, seemingly lost in thought.
Later, he even bought all sorts of food for Gu Jingchun from the foot of the mountain.
At that time, Gu Jingchun had just recovered from morning sickness and had just regained her appetite.
She was naturally delighted with the things Guan Zhixin brought her and enjoyed eating them immensely.
However, as her belly grew larger, Gu Jingchun began to realize that something was wrong.
It was at this moment that Guan Zhixin told Gu Jingchun that she had been poisoned.
Moreover, it was a very strange poison that few people had ever seen before.
Gu Jingchun went to see many doctors, but they were all helpless.
Moreover, Gu Jingchun still couldn't figure out how he had been poisoned.
During this period, she only came into contact with a few bandit dens in the nearby mountains.
How could those bandits have the brains and poison to poison her?
After that, Guan Zhixin kept consulting various ancient books, saying she wanted to find a way to detoxify Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun, worried about the baby in her womb, has been trying her best to cooperate.
Gu Jingchun took countless medicines and underwent various treatments, including acupuncture, before finally recovering from the poisoning.
When she learned that her poison had cleared up, she cried tears of joy.
Just ten days later, Gu Jingchun gave birth to Gu Jinxi prematurely.
When Gu Jinxi was born, her whole body was bluish-purple, and her breathing was weak, just like a kitten, which was very pitiful.
At the time, she only thought it was because Gu Jinxi was born prematurely, and didn't think much of it.
However, as Gu Jinxi grew up, Gu Jingchun gradually discovered that his strength was increasing.
Until Gu Jinxi was one year old, she came home early one day and heard Mei Xueli and Guan Zhixin arguing.
Mei Xueli growled in disbelief.
How could you do such a thing?
"That's my child! How could you bear to poison her and turn her into that?"
Mei Xueli was devastated.
"How did you become like this? If I hadn't found out, were you planning to keep it from me forever?"
"Have you considered what would happen if something unexpected happened along the way?"
Guan Zhixin, however, was very unconvinced. "What have I become?"
"Nothing unexpected happened, did it?"
