946 Chapter 946-encounter
Gu Nian never went up to play, either for Madam Xue, consort Kang, or Jinghe to see.
Gu Nian thought that Majesty Kang’s family had found out about her relations.h.i.+p with li Muyan and that it would be awkward to get along with her. Unfortunately, this family did not seem to be the case at all.
It wasn’t that she and Li Muyan didn’t exist. It was just like how Princess Jinghe and Li Muyan’s engagement didn’t exist.
Majesty Kang’s family treated her no different from the rest of the Gu family.
Gu Xin didn’t play at the table either. She taught the guys how to play and played with Gu Ren.
Gu Ren was tired from playing, and a child’s body could not take it, so Gu Xin fell asleep in her arms.
Gu Xin noticed that her sister was listless. She recalled what happened in the morning and felt sorry for her sister.
She handed Gu Ren over to the servant girl and pulled Gu Nian out of the room.
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Xin revealed a huge smile, ” “It’s nothing. It’s just that I haven’t watched the stars with big sister for a long time. The stars in the capital are the same as the ones in our village!”
Gu Nian looked up at the sky.
Gu Xin continued,’sister, do you want to play mahjong? Let’s go and ask big sis to let you hit her!”
“No,” Gu Nian shook her head. Xinxin, I want to go out for a walk. Come with me!”
Gu Xin nodded,’sure! I’ll buy you candy, sister! I know which store has the best candy. It’s not too late yet, so the door must still be open. Although big sister doesn’t like sweet things, big sister, you also said that eating sweet things will make people happy. I’ll go and tell my uncle!”
Gu Nian pulled Gu Xin back. there’s no need for that. Let’s tell the servant that we’ll be back after a short walk. They’re almost done with their fight. We’ll go home together!
Gu Xin thought about it and agreed.
The two sisters then held hands and went out to the night market.
There was no curfew in all places in the great Zhou Dynasty. Although it was October and the nights were a little cold, there were still stalls set up on the streets. People went home after work. It was not as lively, but it was still quiet.
Gu Xin could tell that Gu Nian was unhappy. However, she did not know how to comfort her. She was afraid that her sister would be even more unhappy if she mentioned it.
Therefore, Lin Yiqian could only keep talking to Gu Nian to stop her from thinking about the unhappy things.
The two sisters walked to the downtown area in the north of the city, where they had conflicts with people during the day.
Gu Nian looked at the restaurant and wanted to go for a drink. However, since she was holding Gu Xin’s hand, she naturally would not go for a drink. Furthermore, they were in the capital and not Zhou town. What if she got drunk?
A person suddenly appeared in the restaurant. It was obvious that he was drunk.
After Gu Xin saw what was going on, she pulled Gu Nian away and turned around. “Sister, let’s go over there!”
Gu Nian also saw who the person was. She did not object and followed Gu Xin in the other direction.
She could hear the unclear conversation of the people in the restaurant behind her.
“Manager, that’s the son of Duke Rong. Are we really not going to send him back? He’s been drinking for the whole afternoon, what if something happens?”
“I’ve already informed people to go to Duke Rong’s mansion. If you send him there, we won’t know what to do if something happens to him! Anyway, he left this place in one piece.”
Gu Xin also heard the conversation and could not help but frown.
Lin Yiqian suddenly felt that Gu Nian had stopped moving. She looked up at Gu Nian in confusion.
Gu Nian took a deep breath and said,’Xinxin, let’s go back! I’m a little cold.”
The two of them walked back and ended up walking into an alley. Li Muyan suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Gu Nian. He was still swaying slightly.
Gu Nian pulled Gu Xin away from him while he pulled Gu Nian back.
Gu Xin slapped li Muyan’s hand away in anger, ” “Let go of me!”
Li Muyan said,”Gu Nian, Nian Nian.”
Gu Nian suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
