The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 395 A Great Day

"I want to go see the grasslands!"

A hint of longing flashed in Qin Chuyun's eyes.

“Yingyang gave me this opportunity, and I don’t mind living with him in the future. I trust him as a person, but I’m also very afraid. What if something bad happens to me if I leave my homeland and go to such a faraway place?”

Zhao Xuan gave Gu Zhanghua a knowing look before turning to Qin Chuyun with a serious expression.

"First of all, you are a confident girl. Your confidence comes from your father, General Qin Shao, who guards the northern border. Secondly, it comes from the entire Xia Kingdom! You are a girl from Xia Kingdom who married into the country. If there is anything serious, your father and His Majesty will definitely step in to make decisions for you!"

Qin Chuyun's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light. Yes, how come she had never thought of this before?

If Yingyang dares to bully her, wouldn't she tell on him?

When the Yue army presses in, let's see if Yingyang is afraid!

Gu Zhanghua clearly noticed the change in Qin Chuyun's expression. Seeing Qin Chuyun suddenly beaming with pride and smugness, he found it amusing.

"The big picture doesn't really matter. If it really comes to that, we will definitely bring you back in advance. The most important thing between you and Yingyang is the two of you."

"What's between the two of us?"

Qin Chuyun was a little confused. She opened her round eyes wide and looked at Gu Zhanghua with a puzzled expression.

“He grew up on the grasslands, while you grew up in the Central Plains. The two of you have grown up in completely different environments, and you need to adapt to and tolerate each other in terms of lifestyle and other aspects. That’s one point.”

“Secondly,” Zhao Xuan interjected, “when everyone is on good terms, many minor flaws in personality will not outweigh the merits. But if you are going to live together for many years and conflicts arise over some trivial matters, how will you handle them? That is what you should be thinking about most.”

"He'll let me have my way, right?"

Qin Chuyun stared longingly at Zhao Xuan.

"If something like this happened between you and your brother-in-law, he would always give in to you, right?"

"He'll be accommodating to me, that's one thing, but if it really is my fault, I'll take the initiative to apologize to him once I understand, right, Xiao Wu?"

Gu Zhanghua coughed lightly twice as a reply.

He searched his memory carefully and quickly, but couldn't find the scene where Zhao Xuan took the initiative to apologize to him.

But he dared not challenge Zhao Xuan on this matter at this moment, and besides, every couple has their own way of getting along.

As the old saying goes, unhappy marriages are all alike; every happy marriage is different.

What makes unhappy marriages similar is that the love isn't deep enough, and both partners are selfish. Even after marriage, they prioritize their own interests, let alone showing empathy and understanding. It's absurd to think that they can make the other person suffer a little for their own sake.

Happy marriages are all different, and the reasons are that they may be May-December romances, May-December romances, long-distance relationships, childhood sweethearts, or even a sudden infatuation that leads to a whirlwind marriage, with a tall wife and a short husband...

Their ways of getting along are also quite peculiar and incomprehensible to outsiders, but they enjoy it together.

So, Gu Zhanghua honestly told Qin Chuyun.

"The way of husband and wife is simple in words, which is to tolerate and support each other, but in reality it is very complicated. Only when you truly love each other can you overcome all difficulties and grow old together."

"Life is full of disappointments," Zhao Xuan said, then suddenly chuckled. "The one or two things that are good in my life are meeting your brother-in-law!"

Oh my god! Caught off guard, Qin Chuyun was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Qin Chuyun chatted with Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua until late at night before sneaking back to the General's Mansion in high spirits to think about his marriage and future life alone.

The next morning, Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan finished getting ready. Seeing that it was already time for the morning court session to end, they were about to head to the Prime Minister's residence when they saw Tian Xueyan walking towards them and giving them a deep bow.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have a request."

Zhao Xuan blurted it out.

"What's wrong now? Are you also undecided about whether or not to marry my father?"

Tian Xueyan was stunned for a moment, her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she touched her burning face somewhat embarrassedly.

"Your Highness is joking. I just want to borrow money to open a shop."

"Open a shop? What kind of shop?"

The sudden turn of events filled Gu Zhanghua with curiosity.

Tian Xueyan, with clear eyes and a confident demeanor, said:

“I want to open an embroidery shop. I can’t just stay in the mansion eating and living for free forever. I’ve been wandering around the streets these past few days and finally found a suitable shop, but I don’t have any savings to pay the rent. I’d like to borrow some capital from the Prince and Princess.”

Although Tian Xueyan's idea surprised Zhao Xuan slightly, upon closer examination, it made perfect sense.

Originally, Tian Xueyan was a hired embroiderer in the mansion, and she was very dedicated to her duties. Since she entered the mansion, every single item in the mansion that could be embroidered has been subjected to Tian Xueyan's "poisonous hands".

Bed sheets, blankets, pillowcases, curtains, tablecloths, chair cushions...

Not to mention everyone had a sachet, a fan for summer, and embroidery on their cloaks for winter...

Tian Xueyan thoroughly tampered with all of Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua's clothes, especially those that could be embroidered, including Huang Shuo's.

However, Zhao Xuan always dressed simply and never wore silk or satin unless absolutely necessary.

Before long, Tian Xueyan's exquisite and unparalleled embroidery skills gradually became obsolete.

Tian Xueyan had also intentionally or unintentionally reminded Zhao Xuan to buy more clothes, but Zhao Xuan didn't take it seriously.

Looking back now, I wonder how distressed Tian Xueyan, who was always as hardworking as a little bee, must have been, having nothing to do all day.

Zhao Xuan smiled and looked at Tian Xueyan.

“That’s easy. Just tell Uncle Butler how much capital you need and he’ll give it to you. I think you probably can’t handle such a big thing as opening a shop by yourself. I’ll have my dad help you then.”

Tian Xueyan lowered her head shyly and stammered:

“Brother Huang has been helping me look for a shop these days, and he also said he would help me with the renovation.”

Gu Zhanghua smiled knowingly and couldn't help but tease Tian Xueyan.

"Oh, I knew it! No wonder I haven't seen Dad much lately. He must be quite busy."

"That's right. He even abandoned such a big task as investigating a case. I thought he trusted me and Xiao Wu completely, but now it seems he has more important things to do!"

Zhao Xuan winked at Tian Xueyan and continued teasingly:

"Everyone says that once you marry a wife, you forget your mother. What do you call my dad? He married a wife and forgot his children!"

"Hahaha!"

Gu Zhanghua couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard he was breathless, clutching his stomach and almost rolling on the ground.

"Sister Xuan, what you're saying is hilarious! Our dad... our dad hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already forgotten about you!"

"Oh dear, I'm such a pitiful kid!"

As Zhao Xuan spoke, she made a face at Tian Xueyan.

Tian Xueyan blushed deeply with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"Stop laughing, you two! Stop talking! Seriously, I need to borrow money, and I promise to pay it back when I earn it! I'm going to find Uncle Butler right now and get him an IOU!"

Tian Xueyan ran off like the wind, afraid that Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan would say something else that would embarrass her.

Watching Tian Xueyan escape and then skip around happily, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder if my dad's blockhead has finally come to his senses?"

"Everyone has their own destiny, whether it's marriage, career, friendship, or family."

Gu Zhanghua said this.
