C146 (1/2)

Because it was her first time being born, it was exceptionally difficult for her. But luckily, the mother and daughter were still alive, and Imperial Consort Shen's body had suffered a huge loss, causing her to feel extremely grateful. His Majesty acted as a show of gratitude by transferring her brother into the capital, which could be said to be a huge gift.

The Shen Family had not only held the southwest region in their hands, they had also dabbled in the capital's defense. Once they grew and expanded, the entire northern border, as well as the northwest, would become the domain of the Shen Family. If the Second Prince were to succeed in the future, it was unknown what the nature of the Great Chen would be.

At the same time, the Southern Ocean started to stir up trouble again. His Majesty ordered the General Sheng to leave the capital urgently, and before they left, Xie Jingxi went to Sheng Luan's small courtyard.

Gu Wan had lived here for two or three months, so shsheonly came over occasionally to accompany her, but he didn't know how she had been by herself for so long. When she saw Xie Jingxi, he threw herself over and cried.

Gu Wan had cried enough, and looked at her, ”Bawow, I'm going with Sheng Luan to the Southern Sea.”

Xie Jingxi was shocked, ”Have you thought this through?”

Gu Wan nodded her head resolutely, ”Jingwan, I know you are saying this for my own good, but you also know that I am different from other girls, I never want to live a life circling the backyard. After running out from my home, I had already thought about it carefully, I want to follow Sheng Luan to the battlefield.

Xie Jingxi being able to hide in the capital like this was not an option, returning to the Marquis Mansion was her fate to be forced to marry. Furthermore, since she and Sheng Luan had the same intentions, she could not always be separated by everything, and with Sheng Luan here, it should not cause her to suffer.

”You are not a child anymore. Since you are able to take responsibility for yourself, your big brother and I will respect you as well. However, you must take care of yourself and not be too willful in the face of matters.

Gu Wan pouted her lips: ”I got it, Sheng Luan has been giving me orders all day, my ears are about to get cocooned, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble.”

”That's good. Have you prepared everything? Do you want me to bring some from the Marquis Mansion? ”

Gu Wan shook her head, ”I don't need the things at home.

Xie Jingxi stuffed a few pieces of silver into her hands, ”It's fine if you don't have anything else, but it's not wrong to bring more silver. After all, you can't just eat Sheng Luan right now, when you're there, send me a letter and I'll send people over to send it to you regularly.”

”Jingwan, sister-in-law …” Gu Wan hugged her and cried, ”You're the one who treats me the best in this world, and my big brother. You have to take good care of him, and the ones I'm worried about the most are you two …”

”What's there to be worried about? It's fine as long as you and Sheng Luan have a good time, when I have time, I'll come and see you. When you want to marry me, I'll have to go and send you my dowry.”

”Pei, who wants to marry him!”

”Why did you follow them if you don't want to marry them?”

”You're annoying! There's not a single word of it yet. ”

Xie Jingxi laughed and did not speak, after giving her a few more instructions, she returned to her Marquis Mansion. The weather was getting warmer recently, so Gu Yun was already able to occasionally walk out of the courtyard.

”The sun is about to set, why aren't you going in?” When Xie Jingxi returned, he saw that someone was still basking in the sunset and frowned.

Gu Yun was enveloped by the dark red setting sun, and extended a hand towards Xie Jingxi, ”If you don't come to help me, you won't be able to get up.”

Xie Jingxi laughed as she looked at him, this fellow had become even more sticking to her, refusing to eat even after getting away from her. She walked over and held his hand, ”Then we shouldn't wait until now, I'll punish you to not eat at night.”

Gu Yun's hand suddenly exerted force, and Xie Jingxi was pulled into his embrace. Xie Bakuai, who was squatting on the ground, immediately ran away with a cry. Xie Jingxi also screamed in fear, ”Are you trying to bend the chair over?!”

Gu Yun chuckled on top of her head, ”If it's bent, then it's bent. Why would I be afraid of you?”

”You're so annoying, the courtyard is full of people, hurry up and let me go!”

”Who dares to look, eh?”

Just as they were talking, Fang Yu brought some tea out of the house, saw the situation in the courtyard and retreated, stopping Ming Yu who was about to go out, ”Let's go out later.”

”Hmm? ”What's wrong?” Ming Yu was confused.

What else could they do? The couple openly loved to flirt and avoid suspicion.

Gu Yun asked: ”When I was in the job before, did you miss me even when you were at home?”

She was a very busy person, so she naturally couldn't care about when she was busy. When she was free, she would sometimes think about it.

”Why do you ask?”

”Because I missed you.”

Gu Yun tapped her forehead. When she was not here, there was no shame in his heart.

Xie Jingxi lightly hammered him, ”It's not serious again, I'm going out for a while, am I not back here? Oh right, Wan'er is going to follow Sheng Luan to the south, I agree, I just don't know anything about them, do the people from Sheng Family know?”

”He probably doesn't know, but if he did, Sheng Luan's legs would have been broken long ago.”

Xie Jingxi, ”...”
