After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Chu Jinyang waved his hand: "It's okay if you see it, anyway, I just like Gu Yu'an."

Gu Linglong gave her a thumbs up, "You're really brave."

Gu Linglong whispered something in Chu Jinyang's ear, and Chu Jinyang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you serious?"

Gu Linglong nodded vigorously. How could she not know her older brother?

Chu Jinyang kissed her face repeatedly: "Oh, my dear sister, I'll go prepare right away."

Chu Jinyang turned and left: "Xi Ning, I have important business to attend to. Let's play together another time."

"it is good"

Gu Linglong rested her chin on her hand: "Ugh, I'm so hungry. When can we eat?"

Chen Xining pulled out a medical book: "Ugh, this is so difficult! When will I ever understand it? I really envy the princess's bold way of pursuing love."

Gu Linglong glanced at Chen Xining and then at the medical book. Tsk, another timid girl. She still has to rely on her younger sister. At only three years old, she's worrying about the concerns of a thirty-year-old.

During the meal, they heard something else: Shen Qingqing had been kidnapped by a mysterious person who appeared and disappeared without a trace. The officer recalled that a sudden gust of wind blew, and then they all fainted.

As Gu Linglong sucked the bone oil from the bone, she wondered, "Could it be another monster?"

The next day, Gu Linglong returned with a full load and whispered something to Gu Liyao, who assured her that he would complete the mission.

Two days later at lunch, Su Xiuran suddenly seemed to remember something: "Why hasn't Princess Jinyang come over these past few days? I quite like that girl."

She turned to Gu Yu'an and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"

Gu Yu'an's fingers curled slightly: "No, it wouldn't be good if she kept coming."

Gu Liyao: "Of course the princess won't come. The eldest princess asked His Majesty to bestow a marriage upon the princess, apparently intending to marry the eldest son of the Crown Prince's tutor to her. Upon hearing this, the princess went to the palace overnight and said she was willing to stay in the northwest and not return to the border or marry. His Majesty saw that her mind was made up, so he did not bestow the marriage and sent her to the northwest."

Gu Yu'an's hand trembled: "She's going to the Northwest? And she's not coming back?"

Gu Liyao nodded: "That's right, don't you know you two are the closest? If she doesn't leave, she'll be forced into marriage with someone she doesn't like, of course she has to leave."

"What...when?"

Gu Ziming tore off a chicken leg: "Today, on my way home from school, I passed by the Princess's residence and saw the Princess mustering troops. They're probably almost at the city gate by now."

"Oh, oh," Gu Linglong said, as if she had only just realized it.

"Brother, Jin Yang Zi gave it to me."

Gu Yu'an took the letter and immediately opened it: "Gu Yu'an, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. I'm leaving, as you wished. I won't bother you anymore. I wish you happiness."

The calligraphy was as elegant as Chu Jinyang himself. Gu Yu'an seemed to see the princess in a red dress, her hands behind her back, saying to him, "I'm leaving. I don't care about you anymore."

Gu Yu'an suppressed his emotions. It was good that he left; he would be back soon. The Princess wouldn't let him cause trouble, and she would definitely let him go then.

Right, that is it.

Gu Liyao: "I heard that the Eldest Princess and her husband have even requested permission to live on the border, intending to accompany the Princess."

Gu Linglong sighed: "Life on the border is tough, Zitie has it really tough."

Gu Ziming: "Yeah, I heard from my classmate that his uncle often doesn't have enough to eat in the army camp, and he doesn't even take a shower for a month to save water. I don't know if Sister Jinyang can handle it. I'm so worried about Sister Jinyang."

Gu Yu'an felt she couldn't sit still any longer. How could a woman of noble birth endure staying in that place for the rest of her life?

"Mom, I'm full. You can continue eating."

"Um"

Gu Liyao raised an eyebrow at Gu Linglong, and Gu Linglong returned a look that said, "You're great, I received this."

Gu Yu'an went directly to the backyard and chose the Akhal-Teke horse that the emperor had bestowed upon him, then exited through the back door.

The thought of never seeing that person again, and that person suffering in a faraway place, made his heart ache uncontrollably. He rushed all the way, wanting to see that person.

Chu Jinyang, squatting by the city gate, was chewing on a blade of grass. Could it be that Gu Yu'an, that bastard, really doesn't like her?

The maidservant beside her whispered, "Princess, Princess, they're here, they're here."

Chu Jinyang smiled broadly upon seeing this. She removed the foxtail grass, mounted her horse, and looked ready to leave.

"Princess, wait..."

Chu Jingyang turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Can you please not leave?"

Chu Jinyang raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

"The borderlands are bitterly cold; I fear the princess may not be able to endure it."

"It's not like I haven't been there before. Besides, you're nobody to me, why should I listen to you?"

Gu Yu'an was at a loss for words; they really did seem to be nothing at all.

"Gu Yu'an, do you like me? Admit it, if you admit it I won't go."

"I……"

Just then, the deputy came to report that the equipment had been checked five times. Hearing this, the deputy rushed forward: "Princess, we can't not go! An assassination attempt on the Empress Dowager's palace is a serious matter!"

Chu Jinyang: "!"

Gu Yu'an stared intently at Chu Jinyang: "You're going to the Empress Dowager's palace? Are you lying to me?"

"No, no, no, that's not how it is. Let me explain."

Gu Yu'an realized he had been tricked, his ears turned bright red, and he rode away, saying, "Princess, please take care."

Gu Yu'an

Chu Jinyang roared, "Are you even a man?"

Chu Jinyang caught up with him and confronted him: "You clearly like me, why won't you admit it? Not everyone is like Li Xiaohan, irresponsible in relationships."

"I saw so many of you come to see me today, what are you going to say?"

Chu Jinyang was also annoyed and her temper was rising. She had been chasing after him for so long without saying a word. Even after pressing him so hard, he still wouldn't admit it. At this moment, she really wanted to let go.

"I apologize for lying to you. Blame me if you must, don't blame your younger siblings."

"Go, I won't stop you. I, Chu Jinyang, am of noble birth; I can let go of what I've taken. I thought you were a gentleman, but you're just a coward. I won't come to the Minister's residence again. If we meet again, pretend we don't know each other."

Chu Jinyang turned his horse around and headed towards the city gate.

Gu Yu'an watched her retreating figure, a silent sigh escaping his lips, a feeling of emptiness washing over him.

The biggest change over the years is that all three brothers can cultivate. He circulated his spiritual power and took off, sitting behind Chu Jinyang.

Chu Jinyang was startled, and even the horse began to stir restlessly: "Gu Yu'an, what are you doing? In broad daylight!"

"do not move"

Gu Yu'an pulled the reins from behind.

"Coming to the city gate to find someone won't trap a gentleman, but sharing a horse will."

The princess glanced sideways slightly: "What do you mean?"

Gu Yu'an leaned slightly forward and whispered in Chu Jinyang's ear, but the two were still about an egg's width apart.

He handed over a jade pendant. Chu Jinyang recognized the pendant; each of the four siblings in the Gu family had one, which Su Xiuran had crafted for them when they were born, carrying extraordinary meaning.

He said softly, "The princess didn't throw away her sachet; it's a return gift for her."

"May you enjoy a thousand years of blessings and longevity to repay your kindness and admiration."
