The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

The old lady was also cheerful and seemed to be in high spirits: "Go, I will go with you."

The old lady is already old and rarely goes out. In the past, she had no chance to go out because she had to take care of the household.

This time the old general was at home, and Gu Xunzhou and his son were also there. She could relax with the women in the family and go out for a walk.

"That's great, when do we leave?"

"We will go the day after tomorrow. Please ask the servants to make good preparations. We will stay in the temple for one night."

Since they have already made up their minds, if I raise any objections, it will certainly arouse suspicion.

Moreover, even if I tell the truth, I'm afraid no one will believe it! In this case, I can only plan it carefully in private.

"Chu'er, your second aunt said that your appetite has been a little poor recently. Please let her take a look at you. I think you seem to be thinner than last time."

The second son's family has not had any children for so many years. The old lady had thought about it before, but Gu Huaijin was stubborn and firmly disagreed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li is pregnant now, so there is some hope.

Li Nanyi touched her not-so-obvious belly a little embarrassedly, her eyes became gentle, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and she said softly:

"I've been eating less recently. The things I used to like, now I can't stand the smell of them."

Gu Fanchu smiled and said soothingly, "Pregnant women often have changes in their tastes. Second Aunt, you can ask the chef at the mansion to make some food with different flavors to try. Don't be bound by the time of day. Eat whenever you're hungry. After all, it's one person eating for two people now."

She knew how much her grandmother and the others valued the child, so she was naturally cautious.

Wang was also quite experienced and had some valuable experience to share on this topic, so she immediately took over the conversation:

"That's right. You must not go hungry when you're pregnant. Food and snacks must be readily available, and there must be someone watching over you at all times. Remember, you can't..."

"Cough...cough..."

Seeing his mother getting more and more excited, Gu Xunzhou coughed a few times in embarrassment.

Wang was speaking excitedly when she was interrupted. She turned her head in confusion and looked at her son who was sitting aside and coughing with his hands covering his mouth. When she saw his ears turned red and the bright eyes of Gu Fanchu sitting next to her, she realized what she had said.

The old lady shook her head helplessly. The eldest daughter-in-law would sometimes speak her mind.

Both kids are here, and what they say is getting more and more outrageous.

Li Nanyiyi's face also turned slightly red, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Aunt is right. Second aunt should be more careful. If you are bored at home alone, you can stay at the General's Mansion for a while."

Gu Fanchu could only pretend not to know what Wang wanted to say and continue with her words.

The old lady immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, there are cooks in the house, you can ask them to make whatever you want to eat. If the second son is not here, you can come over here, and your sister-in-law can also chat with you."

Gu Huaijin is a man and doesn't consider these details comprehensively, but he thinks this suggestion is good.

The family chatted happily in the living room for a while before returning to the yard.

Gu Fanchu deliberately waited behind and left his grandmother's yard with Gu Xunzhou. The two chatted as they walked through the corridor, with maids and servants following behind from a distance.

"Brother, won't you go with us to burn incense?"

Gu Xunzhou was in a good mood. When he heard his sister's question, he raised the corners of his lips and revealed a hearty smile: "Why, if I don't go, you won't ask for a peace amulet for your brother?"

Gu Fanchu heard the teasing in the words and muttered angrily, "Humph, I won't beg you. Don't worry, Sister Ji will definitely beg you sincerely."

When Gu Xunzhou heard the name of his fiancée, the tips of his ears turned slightly red, and his heart was moved when he thought of that gentle woman.

"His Majesty has other things to do these days, so I can't take you up the mountain. Don't worry, Uncle Zhong will accompany you when the time comes. It will be fine."

Gu Fanchu's heart moved slightly. He stopped and turned to look at his handsome cousin beside him with a serious face. He warned him carefully: "Brother, be careful when you are in Beijing. If someone invites you to drink and play, you must be on guard and don't let bad people take advantage of you."

Gu Huaijin looked at the worry on the girl's bright face and suppressed his smile. He said helplessly, "What are you thinking about? Brother is an adult now, so he naturally knows to protect himself. Look at you, you're so worried at such a young age. You won't be pretty anymore."

Gu Fanchu knew that she couldn't tell her family directly about what she experienced in her previous life, but she couldn't help but want to remind them, not wanting them to get hurt.

"Well, it's good that you know this. You can't get involved with other women, otherwise, Sister Ji won't let you go." Gu Fanchu could only warn her angrily, and then added: "I won't let you go either."

After saying that, he turned around and quickened his pace, leaving Gu Xunzhou behind.

Looking at the little figure walking away quickly, Gu Xunzhou couldn't help laughing. Why did this little girl get angry while talking?

But when he thought of her words, he felt a little confused. He shook his head and walked back to his yard.

The next day, the family began to make intensive preparations for going to the temple to burn incense.

Although we were only staying for one night, we could not be negligent in the slightest since the old lady and my pregnant second aunt were traveling with us.

When the day of going out came, Gu Fanchu woke up early and had basically packed up the things he needed.

After careful consideration, she decided to leave Liuli and Liuye in the mansion to secretly protect Gu Xunzhou.

Liuli's lightness skill is truly unique. She can come and go without a trace. If she hides in the dark, she will be difficult to detect.

Liu Ye is a skilled martial artist, and the two of them working together, one in the open and one in the dark, will surely ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Gu Fanchu instructed the two that if they found anything wrong, they should immediately bring Gu Xunzhou back to the general's mansion and tell their grandfather the truth. She believed that her grandfather would definitely solve the problem.

After explaining all this, Gu Fanchu took Amber, Qiuye and Baili out.

When I got to the door, I realized everyone was already there.

Wang Yuyan, who came early, had her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Fanchu.

Gu Fanchu was dressed very simply today, in a soft and fluffy light blue long dress, which made her fair skin look even more beautiful and charming.

There was no rouge on her face, but it was as pure and elegant as the morning glow reflecting on the snow, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.

She wears two simple white jade hairpins on her head. Although simple, her material is obviously of great value. This kind of dress is both simple and generous, which makes her look noble and elegant.

"Sister, you are becoming more and more beautiful!" Wang Yuyan exclaimed.
