Yunding Mountain Gu Family
The younger generation of the Gu family huddled together in a huge, luxurious tatami room, furnished with all sorts of large cushions and some high-tech toys.
"Sigh, I'm afraid some families aren't going to have a good New Year." Gu Nanyi leaned against Gu Nanjing, hugging a large plush toy. "Hey, Nanjing, aren't you going to be busy too?"
Gu Nanjin forked a piece of pear and put it into Gu Nanyi's mouth with a smile, "It's okay, you're busy too. Didn't our elder sister hand over everything to you in Jiangnan? A lot of officials have been dismissed, you must be having a tough time too."
Hmph, no matter how busy he is, he can't compare to this person.
Gu Nanyi chewed on the pear angrily, "Hmph, no matter how busy you are, you can't compare to Changchang, right! Changchang!" He looked up at Gu Nanchang behind him, who was still working on his tablet during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Nanchang turned his head to look at Gu Nanyi, "Please, spare the child during the New Year! It's fine if you don't want to help, but please don't ostracize the child!"
The once powerful Young Master Chang of Qingchuan City has become such a child.
"This is a test from the organization for you, good luck!" Gu Nanxing replied with a grin, and also forked a piece of fruit and fed it to Gu Nanchang, "Brother Chang, eat some fruit, good luck!"
"Sister Xingxing is still the best~" Gu Nanchang didn't even look at what it was before opening his mouth and eating it. The next second, his expression changed. "It's so sour."
His handsome face was contorted into a deep wrinkle.
"Oh dear, it seems they took the wrong one, it looks like hawthorn..." Gu Nanxing quickly ran behind Gu Nanyu and hid behind him, clinging to Gu Nanyu's waist as she turned to look at Gu Nanchang.
"Haha, Brother Chang~" Gu Nansheng also tugged at Gu Nanchang, "Giegie, it's the New Year, don't be so busy with work~"
"Let go! Let go!" Gu Nanchang took the warm water Gu Nanmin handed him. "All you do is make sarcastic remarks, don't you know how to help? It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year! Do you really want me to be this busy?!"
Gu Nanchang wore a bitter expression, but his hands continued to move and his mind continued to wander.
"Wait a bit, your older sister and brother-in-law will be back soon, but they probably won't be able to help you much. It seems that Sister Li is also busy. Although Sister Li is in Qingchuan City now, I guess she can't help you much either." Gu Nanmin leaned against Gu Nanjiong, who was feeding her fruit.
“I bet Old Master Shen will definitely have a talk with my eldest sister.” Gu Nanchen said, his blue eyes flickering slightly as he served Mo Yuluo.
Because Gu Nanyan and Shen Bei'an got married, the issue of seniority between the Gu and Shen families became somewhat complicated, so for convenience, they often used honorifics when discussing it.
Gu Nanmin nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, with such a big move, my elder sister is usually always busy. Now that she's at the Shen family, Old Master Shen will naturally have something to say about it."
"However, don't get your hopes up." Gu Nanchen chuckled twice at Gu Nanchang. Given his older sister's personality, if Nanchang really wanted help, she would probably just put a deadline on his head.
Gu Nanchang's face turned deathly pale. "I'm dead. If you need anything, burn incense." His men moved even faster.
The question is, who is worse off than him?
Even during the Lunar New Year, we still have to work!
They clearly guessed something.
"However, isn't any of you curious as to why the incident in Qingchuan City only came to light now?" Gu Nanxing kept mentioning Millennium Cherry Fruit, her big eyes blinking.
People who care about their families are all shrewd and capable.
"I don't know about anything else, but I do know that I'll probably be incredibly busy later on." Gu Nanyi slumped onto Gu Nanjing. "And you, Jing-di, no, I should say all of us, except for Chen-ge. Even Yu-yu-di on Fuyun Island will probably be very busy."
Everyone was lying on the soft, comfortable tatami mats, eating fruit and drinking juice, having a wonderful time, but then...
——
Shen Family
A large number of people from the Shen family were present.
"Qing-ge'er has someone he loves now," Old Master Shen said slowly.
Old Master Shen only said half of what he meant, but everyone knew the truth.
“Zicang…” Old Master Shen took a sip of water after a long while.
He Cang sat down next to Shen Beirong, the second mistress of the Shen family, with a calm expression. "Dad, Qi-ge'er is fine. You don't need to tell me anything else."
He only recognizes He Enqi in the He family.
Shen Beirong chimed in, "Dad, A-Cang and I are usually quite busy. Some unnecessary matters are simply not within our jurisdiction, so you don't need to ask us too many questions." Under the table, she held He Cang's hand tightly.
On his face, his eyes were all curved, "Besides, isn't Qing-ge already very clear about these things? Qing-ge is so grown up now, since you've already made up your mind, there's no need to go through all that trouble, is there? We all trust Qing-ge."
Shen Juanqing was mentioned many times, but he never spoke.
Before the New Year, the twelve classmates gathered several times, and they were all aware of what had happened during that time.
"Alright, alright. I feel at ease leaving it to Qing-ge. Just don't cause Qing-ge any trouble," Old Master Shen said again.
"Of course, of course," everyone echoed.
As the meeting was about to end, everyone prepared to leave and rest.
"Qing-ge'er." Shen Beirong suddenly called out to Shen Juanqing.
"Second Aunt, what's wrong?" Shen Juanqing paused and walked up to Shen Beirong.
"Second Aunt, I won't stand on ceremony with you," Shen Beirong said bluntly, "Tell me the truth, this time, can the He family be saved? Or rather, how many people can be saved?"
His face was serious. Even though the whole capital knew that He Cang had severed ties with the He family, the blood relationship was hard to sever.
If something really happens to the He family, He Cang will inevitably be criticized when he travels around the capital in the future.
