When Gu Xin returned home, everyone in the family was already asleep. Only Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were still busy. One of them was reading a book while the other was making plans.
Since Gu Xin had said that she would be home within two hours, the couple did not say anything. They only told her to go to bed early and that she had work to do the next morning.
Gu si came back first and told her family about the emperor’s arrangements for Gu Xin, so everyone knew that Gu Xin was going to the court of judicial review tomorrow.
Gu Xin returned to her courtyard and practiced a set of swordsmanship. Her entire body was sweating before she went to wash up and sleep.
……
On the 5th of February, Gu Xin woke up early in the morning.
She asked the servant girl to comb her hair into a bun and found men’s clothes to wear. She also asked Dongxue to change into men’s clothes and dress up as a man.
After breakfast, he left with Dongxue.
“Lanlan, do you think Xinxin will do?” Grandpa Gu was very worried about his granddaughter. After Gu Xin left the house, he asked with a worried look.
“Brother Chuan, didn’t we agree not to care about what the younger generation does? As long as they didn’t commit any crimes, they could do whatever they wanted. Won’t we know in a few days whether it’ll work or not?” Grandma Gu patted Grandpa Gu’s hand and comforted him.
“AI! Ever since Xinxin came back from the West, I’ve been thinking that we’ll spoil this child in the future, give her the best, and let her become the happiest girl in the great Zhou Dynasty. I don’t want her to be tired anymore.” Grandpa Gu sighed and said.
“Brother Chuan, you weren’t like this before. You’ve always told me that it’s the happiest thing for children to be able to do what they like. Now that Xinxin is doing what she likes, what are we worried about? In the capital, if anything could happen to Xinxin, it would be second brother or Lu Zheng! So, brother Chuan, don’t worry. If you’re really worried, I can go with you to the Wang family Village.” Grandma Gu said with a smile.
It had been decades, and she felt that her attitude towards brother Chuan had been reversed.
that’s fine. We’ll take a few people with us and make a trip. We’ll just watch from a distance. Grandpa Gu felt that it was a good idea.
So the old couple went back to their room to pack up, called two guards, and left the city together.
They went straight to Wang village. Gu Xin still had to make a trip to the court of judicial review, so they arrived first.
Just like what Gu Xin and Lu Zheng had guessed last night, Mr. Qin had received news from the Emperor but he didn’t appear. He only called two of his men to bring Gu Xin over.
“Where’s master Zheng?” Gu Xin asked on the way.
“Princess, Xiao Qiu is at the mortuary. The corpses of the deceased’s family have been transported to the mortuary,” Mr. Qin’s subordinate replied.
Gu Xin nodded, ” don’t call Me Princess. You can call me third young master Gu. By the way, the Memorial Hall isn’t far from the Wang family Village, right?”
Mr. Qin’s subordinate replied,”yes, third young master Gu.” The mortuary is in the Wang family Village, and it takes a quarter of an hour to get there by car.”
alright! Gu Xin nodded. then, after we go to the crime scene, we’ll go to the Memorial Hall to look for Xiao Qiu!
Gu Xin also followed suit and called out Xiao Qiu.
“Huh?” Mr. Qin’s subordinate asked. Princess, Oh, no, third young master, are you really going to the Memorial Hall? It’s better not to go!”
Gu Xin waved her hand, ” Do you think I’m afraid? I’m really not afraid. I’ve seen more dead people than those buried on the mountaintop of the Memorial Hall.”
