Gu Nian screamed in fear. She had only just opened her mouth to make a sound when Cai Xiaolian covered it.
Gu Shouxin frowned. “Don’t make a sound. Don’t wake Xin Xin up.”
Gu Nian nodded frantically. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty as she motioned for Cai Xiaolian to let go.
What was going on with these parents?
Could it be that they realized something was wrong with her?
Gu Shouxin looked at Gu Nianzhi’s eyes and felt that they had guessed correctly. He said, “I’ll go to the kitchen to make a fire. Let’s talk in front of the kitchen door. It’s cold here, and it might wake Xin Xin up.”
He left after saying that.
Cai Xiaolian pursed her lips. This guy was most likely a eunuch. He had never had children before, so he liked Little Xin Xin so much.
Speaking of which, she, who did not have children, also liked Little Xin Xin very much.
Cai Xiaolian had told Gu Shouxin everything. Now that they were talking about it again, she felt even more relaxed. “You’re not the original Gu Nian, are you? Where did you come from?”
Gu Nianzhi’s movements froze.
As expected, they were all transmigrators. In her nephew’s book world, there were other transmigrators besides her. She wondered if they were also transmigrators like her.
“You could tell? Oh, I knew it would be like this. If I had known earlier, I would have continued to pretend to have amnesia,” Gu Nian said dejectedly.
If she had continued to pretend to have lost her memory, no one would have been able to tell.
Cai Xiaolian lit the oil lamp in Gu Nian’s room and nodded. She then said in surprise, “Yes, I could tell. But why did you pretend to have lost your memory? You don’t have the original owner’s memories? Then how do you know who’s in the house?”
Gu Nian said aggrievedly, “That’s right! I don’t have any at all. If it wasn’t for my nephew writing this book, I wouldn’t have been able to name any family members just now.”
Cai Xiaolian was a little surprised. “Your nephew’s book?”
Gu Nian nodded. Then, she said gloomily, “That’s right, my nephew’s book. Gu Xin is the female lead. Father Gu sold his daughter to pay off his debts, then stole Mother Gu’s remaining dowry and ran away. Mother Gu and Gu Nian struggled to survive. After that, they met the female lead who had been sold. Mother and daughter felt that their lives hadn’t been good these past few years, so they schemed against the female lead in all sorts of ways. In the end, they died a terrible death. Coincidentally, my sister-in-law often used me to educate my nephew. My nephew hates me, so he used my name to write this evil sister! Sigh!”
Cai Xiaolian did not know what to say. “Come, let’s go find Gu Shouxin first. Let’s sum up the situation and see what our future plans are.”
Gu Nian had put on her shoes and suddenly came out of bed. She was still cold. She jumped up a few times, rubbed her hands together, and followed Cai Xiaolian to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Gu Shouxin had already lit the fire and heated the water in the stove.
Gu Shouxin got up and let the mother and daughter sit down. He said, “You two sit down for a while. The boiling water is almost done. The fire in the stove is still burning, and I’ve added some firewood. It’s almost done now. Let’s drink some hot water first.”
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin eagerly.
They did not know whether this person was pretending to be so considerate or was always so considerate.
If he was always so considerate, it would be nice to treat this place as a home.
Soon, Gu Shouxin poured a bowl of boiling water for each of them.
He took a sip and thought it almost tasted bad. He was 9,000 years old and would not drink plain water. He drank top-quality tea and fine wine.
He took a sip and put it on the stove. Then he said, “We are not people from this world. Since we are fated to meet, I will treat you sincerely. Let me tell you my plan first!”
