This child is typically small in stature but big in caution.
Gu Nian had Cuihua take what Zheng Shaochen brought for Nan Jin Yu over. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Wuxin reporting sothing to Nan Jin Yu, whose jade-like face was solemn.
Upon seeing Gu Nian co in, Wuxin instinctively glanced at her, as if on guard, and quickly adjusted his expression, standing aside.
Gu Nian didn’t mind and had no intention of prying into others’ secrets. Instead, seeing them so serious, she innocently asked, "Are you discussing sothing? Should I leave for a bit?"
Nan Jin Yu pulled a smile, but there was no trace of amusent, "The discussion’s over. Why are you here at this ti?"
Gu Nian raised her chin, signaling him to look toward Cuihua, "My brother is back. These are the things Zheng brought for you."
"Zheng?" Nan Jin Yu suddenly frowned.
"He’s Nan’s cousin." Gu Nian thought he hadn’t guessed who she referred to.
Little did she know, Nan Jin Yu retorted, "From now on, just call him by his na. Why does a young lady call everyone brother?"
Gu Nian approached him, wide-eyed in disbelief, "Then, should I call you by your na directly?"
"How can that be the sa?" Nan Jin Yu replied.
Gu Nian couldn’t think of how it was different. In truth, if anything, it was that Nan Jin Yu was being double-standarded.
Seeing Gu Nian silent, Nan Jin Yu suddenly said, "Hand the things to Wuxin first, and push to the study."
"Oh." Gu Nian quickly went behind Nan Jin Yu. In fact, she didn’t need much force to push him; his wheelchair was equipped with special chanisms, allowing him to move easily on his own.
Once they reached the study, Gu Nian closed the door and asked, "Nan, do you have sothing to tell ?"
Because, today, Nan Jin Yu seed overly serious, unlike his usual self.
"Gu Nian, are you looking for your brother?"
As those words left his mouth, Gu Nian’s heart skipped a beat.
Rising and stepping in front of him, Gu Nian looked straight at Nan Jin Yu, "Nan, do you have news about my brother?"
Under Gu Nian’s intense anticipation, Nan Jin Yu nodded.
"Where is he?" Gu Nian excitedly grabbed Nan Jin Yu’s hand, oblivious to her impropriety.
"Fenglai Village!"
After Nan Jin Yu uttered those three words, all Gu Nian’s expectations vanished.
"Fenglai Village, has he been captured?" Her first thought was the ten or so lives lost to rat poison in Fenglai Village.
Though, they deserved it.
But others wouldn’t think the sa.
They would only see the original’s mother’s unmarried childbirth as deserved death, and that her brother couldn’t be forgiven for murder.
With all the original’s mories, she naturally knew how terrifyingly shaless the people of Fenglai Village were.
"The village head’s family of Fenglai Village, your two uncles’ families, and all who participated on the day your mother was drowned, were all annihilated." Nan Jin Yu’s voice was steady, yet cold.
"Then what about my brother?" Gu Nian never considered herself cold-hearted, but at that mont, all she wanted to know was Gu Bei’s whereabouts.
As for the others, they reaped what they sowed. If they had not pressed for extermination, Gu Bei wouldn’t have gone after their lives.
The brother and mother from the original’s mory, though impoverished, lived happily in hardship, and Gu Bei was by no ans a bloodthirsty person.
