"General, have you been here all this time?"
Feeling that she had recovered some strength, Gu Yunni saw that Gu Changan was following Sheng Mingjue silently, so she had nothing to worry about. She rolled her eyes and suddenly asked.
Sheng Mingjue did not deny it, he nodded.
Although he agreed to propose marriage, he was still worried about the girl's hand injury. When he turned around, he found her mother coming up, so he followed her without saying a word.
After all, this person was going to be his future wife, and he felt he needed to get to know her better.
And this time he felt more and more that he had made the right choice, otherwise how could he have witnessed the wonderful scene just now!
The servants were in a panic and did not notice Gu Yunni's actions, but he clearly saw in the dark that Gu Yunni drew a talisman and threw it towards Kou Mingxue before throwing the dagger.
The little girl does have some skills!
It would be interesting if such a person became his wife!
Gu Yunni curled her lips and asked knowingly, "General, you don't have any doubts this time. Do you believe that I am a man of real ability?"
Sheng Mingjue also curled his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "When you kissed me, this general already believed in you. Now I just understand you better."
After a pause, he stretched out his voice, leaned close to the little girl's ear, and said slowly: "Of course, compared to now, holding you in my arms, I can feel your ability more truly!"
Being close to this girl who was said to be his destined one, he could indeed feel an unprecedented sense of relief, and the heaviness that had been weighing on him also disappeared a lot.
A low and hoarse voice entered Gu Yunni's ears, and her ears suddenly turned red.
She naturally knew what this meant and would not think of it in the wrong way, but she felt inexplicably uncomfortable with his tone.
She coughed to hide her discomfort.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, Sheng Mingjue bowed and put Gu Yunni down. He patted her hair calmly and said, "Okay, I'll send you here. Wait for me to come and propose marriage tomorrow!"
Gu Yunni watched Sheng Mingjue walk out of the alley in the moonlight before she withdrew her gaze and looked at her elder brother who had been silent all the way and seemed to have no perception of the outside world.
It is undeniable that her elder brother has an excellent appearance, but the emptiness in his eyes makes this appearance lose three points!
In fact, she found something wrong when she saw her eldest brother for the first time!
The aura on his body was actually white!
This white gas usually appears on ignorant newborn babies.
This is so weird no matter how you think about it!
Before she could figure it out, the gate to the courtyard suddenly opened. Mother Gu looked at her children who were safe and sound in front of her, and her eyes instantly reddened. "Thank goodness you are all okay. Come in quickly, mother has already prepared dinner!"
Mother Gu served the two children some porridge and pickles and said bitterly, "Our family is poor and we have nothing else to eat—"
Before she could finish, Gu Yunni picked up the bowl of porridge and drank most of it before she let out a long sigh, "How did mother know that I like to eat porridge?"
Mother Gu was stunned, but she laughed.
Seeing her mother smile, Gu Yunni finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then she asked again, "Mother, I want to ask, what's wrong with my eldest brother? Is his dullness congenital?"
Mother Gu shook her head and sighed, "No, your eldest brother used to be a very good student and even ranked first in the provincial examination. But later on, he was tricked and failed in the imperial examination, and then he became like this.
Since it is not natural, then the reason why my brother looks like this is that he has lost his soul, so he is like a walking corpse.
The human spirit is composed of three souls and seven spirits, and there are three souls: heavenly soul, earthly soul, and life soul.
There are seven souls, namely Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Li, Zhongshu, Jing and Ying.
But now, the eldest brother is missing one of the three souls, the earth soul, and one of the seven spirits, the spiritual wisdom.
It is actually not difficult to get this soul and spirit back, but she needs to make some preparations.
Gu Yunni held her mother's hand and said solemnly, "Mother, don't worry. Big brother's illness is not incurable."
The flower hall of Changping Marquis Mansion.
"A girl who grew up in the countryside is so ignorant of etiquette even though she has returned home so late at night. If this gets out, what reputation will she have?" Changping Hou said angrily.
Mrs. Kou wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up, "Master, I know you look down on Mingxue, but she is our biological daughter after all. Besides, what happened back then was also ours—"
Before Madam Kou could finish, the Marquis of Changping interrupted with increasing anger, "That's enough! Stop talking about what happened back then! Isn't it enough that we've lost face today?"
Mrs. Kou was speechless. She knew very well that her reputation was completely ruined after today. She would have to think carefully before going out in the future!
But she has always felt guilty towards Kou Mingxue for so many years. She didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, her daughter would come back to her. Naturally, she doesn't want to give up on her now.
"Madam, the eldest lady is back——"
A notification voice suddenly sounded.
Mrs. Kou stood up quickly, but did not see her daughter. Instead, she saw several servants carrying a stretcher in with panicked expressions.
Mrs. Kou was horrified and asked, "What—what's going on?!"
The leading servant lowered his head and mumbled, "The eldest lady went to cause trouble for Miss Yun Ni, but ended up not even touching Miss Yun Ni's finger. Instead, she herself-"
Seeing the servant hesitating, Madam Kou asked impatiently, "So it was Gu Yunni who did it?"
The servant hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said with a bitter face, "No, no, the young lady knocked herself out. She had always wanted to hurt Miss Yun Ni, but she never succeeded. Instead, she was extremely unlucky. She either fell on the ground or got hit by the stick, so she is like this!"
Mrs. Kou, who had originally planned to cause trouble for Gu Yunni, stood there in a daze, opened her lips, but didn't say the last word.
At this moment, the Marquis of Changping walked over and asked in a deep voice, "Repeat to me the whole story word for word!"
The servant did not dare to delay and hurriedly repeated in a halting manner how Kou Mingxue's plot against Gu Yunni failed and ended up in dire straits today.
At the same time, he was also feeling lucky that he did not attack Miss Yun Ni. Didn't he see that the Marquis never even looked at the eldest lady from beginning to end?
It was obvious that the Marquis didn't care about the person on the stretcher at all. Instead, he was more concerned about matters involving Miss Yun Ni.
After hearing what the servant said, the Marquis of Changping muttered to himself, "As expected, what Master Anhe said back then was indeed correct. Yun Ni is a lucky star—"
