Gu Rong looked up at Rong Xin's not-so-good expression, tilted her head and stared at her, asking, "Mom, did you notice anything?"
Rongxin rubbed her slightly sore eyes and tugged at Gu Rong's little hand: "You're so clever for your age. You don't need to worry about these adult matters. Mom will make the judgment."
Rong Xin crouched down, picked up Gu Rong, and led her down another path.
Holding Rong Xin, Gu Rong was momentarily confused, wondering if Rong Xin was truly stupid or just pretending. Did she really understand, or was she just playing dumb?
Gu Rong tilted her head and stared at Rong Xin: "Mom, are you really not going to do anything about him?"
Rong Xin smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry about him, let's go check where your grandfather left his things first."
Looking at Rong Xin's expression, Gu Rong felt helpless as well.
She had done what she needed to do, and she could only offer the reminders she needed to give. Any more was beyond her control, and she couldn't say anything more.
Since this is what Rong Xin wants, he won't say anything more.
After all, everyone has their own thoughts, their own life, and their own karma. She couldn't possibly control Rongxin's life too much.
Moreover, her own choice might just happen to fit everything that happened afterward, so she shouldn't interfere too much.
Thinking about that house, Gu Rong suddenly didn't want to go see it anymore, especially not with Rong Xin; she didn't want to.
So she tugged at Rongxin's arm and said, "Mom, I won't go see that house. Let's go pick up my brother from school."
Rong Xin looked at Gu Rong with some confusion when she heard that Gu Rong suddenly didn't want to go: "Weren't you just thinking of going? Why now?"
Gu Rong just felt it was unnecessary: "Suddenly I don't want to go anymore. Let's go to school quickly. I want to be the first person to pick up my brother."
Rong Xin herself was not in a very stable emotional state. Seeing that Gu Rong was unwilling to go, she didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked towards the school.
The mother and daughter walked towards the school. Along the way, Gu Rong was unusually quiet, unlike her usual lively and talkative self.
Rong Xin glanced down at her from time to time, and thinking about everything Gu Qiang had just done, her head began to ache.
When they arrived at the school gate, Gu Rong immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the gate.
A moment later, Gu Xing came out from inside, carrying his schoolbag.
Gu Rong looked at Gu Xing, then smiled and greeted him, "Brother, I'm here. Mom and I came to pick you up."
Hearing Gu Rong's voice, Gu Xing looked up and saw her mother and sister, a bright smile spreading across her face: "Rongbao, why did you come to pick me up?"
Gu Rong held her brother's hand and said excitedly, "I just wanted to come and pick you up, so I came. Dad is cooking at home, let's go back quickly."
Rongxin looked at the two children and her mood improved.
She took Gu Xuan and Gu Rong's hands and said, "Let's go home and have dinner."
On the way home, Gu Rong told her brother about some interesting things that happened outside, which made Gu Xuan laugh out loud.
Listening to the children's laughter, Rongxin felt a warmth in her heart, and all her worries seemed to disappear.
She secretly resolved that no matter what the future held, she would protect these two children and ensure their healthy and happy growth.
What she didn't know was that Gu Rong, who appeared so obedient on the surface, already had her own plans in mind.
After arriving home, Gu Rong called Gu Xing into her room.
Gu Xing had gotten used to her younger sister's mysterious behavior.
When she entered the room, Gu Xing naturally closed the door behind her, then leaned close to Gu Rong and whispered, "Rongbao, did you call me over to see the box?"
Gu Rong first had A Xi observe the area to make sure there was no one else outside before whispering, "Don't go to bed so early after dark tonight. I'll take you to a nice place."
Gu Xing's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, but then he remembered it was nighttime and there were only the two of them, so he suddenly felt a little scared.
Gu Xing raised her hand and poked Gu Rong's shoulder, asking curiously, "Little sister, where are you going? It's too dangerous for just the two of us tonight. It would be terrible if we got kidnapped. Why don't we call Mom and Dad to come with us?"
Upon hearing that the two were to be brought along, Gu Rong immediately turned stern and stared at Gu Xing: "Brother, have you forgotten that we can't tell Mom and Dad our secret? If they find out, I'll be dead!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing covered her mouth instantly, her voice muffled as it came from her subordinate: "I'll listen to my sister, I won't tell anyone, I won't say a word."
Seeing his somewhat frightened yet obedient appearance, Gu Rong nodded in satisfaction: "Just be obedient. Don't show it when we eat. After you finish eating, go back to your room as usual. Then go to school. I'll come find you tonight, okay?"
Gu Xing nodded obediently: "Yes, I understand."
Although they told him not to show it, Gu Xing clearly had no appetite and his complexion wasn't very good during the meal.
Even when he went to school in the afternoon, he was absent-minded.
After finishing her meal, she ran straight back to her room, sitting anxiously on the edge of the bed like a concubine awaiting the emperor's favor.
When Gu Rong arrived, this was the state he was in.
Walking up to him, Gu Rong raised her hand and patted his shoulder, quietly indicating that they could leave: "Let's go."
The two tiptoed out of bed, carefully opened the door, and slipped out of the house like two little mice.
"Mmm," Gu Xing agreed, but he was still quite scared.
Even though he was scared, once they left the house, Gu Xing still held Gu Rong's hand tightly and sat in front of her.
Even when they encounter people, Gu Xing will grab Gu Rong's hand and quickly hide to the side, for fear that bad people will kidnap them.
However, what he didn't know was that when Gu Rong patted him before he left, she had stuck an invisibility talisman on his body.
The moonlight spilled onto the ground, draping their figures in a silvery veil.
Gu Rong led Gu Xing through a maze of turns until they arrived at a courtyard.
Looking at the unfamiliar courtyard, Gu Xing felt both nervous and expectant as Gu Rong pulled him inside: "Little sister, is this the place you were talking about? Whose house is this? Isn't it inappropriate for us to go into someone else's house?"
"This is also our family's property, but it's a secret. Even if you move in, you can't tell anyone we've been here, understand?" Gu Rong smiled and tilted her head to look at him.
Gu Xing obediently covered her mouth and nodded: "I know, it's a secret."
Seeing his expression, Gu Rong smiled and nodded, leading him into the courtyard.
