Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Imperial Duke Zhan’s family of three came out to send them off. Madam Qiao watched as Gu Qingxue’s family of four got into the carriage. “Xue ‘er, it’s getting late. Why don’t you let your big brother send you back?”
“It is because it’s getting late that I don’t want my big brother to send us off, otherwise the return journey would not be safe. Godmother, don’t worry. With Qin Yun and the secret guards protecting us, we’ll be able to return very quickly. You should all go back quickly.”
“Grandfather, Grandmother, Goduncle, goodbye!” The three little ones also came over and waved at the three of them enthusiastically.
The family of three stood where they were, watching Gu Qingxue’s carriage leave.
Gu Qingxue pulled down the curtains to prevent the cold wind from entering. She was carrying the three little ones, and when she saw how drowsy they looked, she could not help but tease them, “You guys are going to sleep already? We agreed to celebrate the New Year together. If you sleep early, mother won’t give you any New Year’s money.”
“No, I need red packet money to buy meat.” The drowsy Dumby opened his eyes and yawned. The hair on his head was swaying along with his movements.
Gu Lin also opened his eyes. He pinched his face and shook Lingbao awake.
“Lingbao, stop sleeping. If you sleep, you won’t have any New Year’s money.”
When they were at Imperial Duke Zhan’s residence, the three little ones had received three portions of red packet money from their grandfather, grandmother, and goduncle. When added together, it was not a small amount.
It just so happened that Gu Qingxue was thinking that she should also let the little ones learn how to use their money, so she made an agreement with them. No matter how much red packet money they received this year, they would be able to use it however they wanted.
Therefore, the little ones all forced themselves to be 120% alert, trying their best not to let themselves fall asleep.
Lingbao did not care so much. The little girl was more fond of sleeping than her two brothers. At this time, she snorted and rubbed against the pillow in dissatisfaction. “Oh… Big brother is the best. Big brother, help me get my share. I, I want to sleep.”
Seeing that Lingbao had fallen asleep as soon as she finished speaking and was still drooling, Gu Lin smiled helplessly and could only let his little sister continue to sleep.
Gu Qingxue was amused by these three little ones. Just as she was about to persuade them to sleep in peace, she heard Qin Yun’s voice, which had a hint of caution hidden within, enter the carriage.
“Eldest Miss, someone has been following us.”
The smile on Gu Qingxue’s lips disappeared in an instant. She narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, “Did you see who it was?
“No, there are four or five people on the other side, four of whom are quite strong. However, they are not my match. If the Eldest Miss is interested, I can capture them,” Qin Yun said in a low voice.
“Don’t catch them directly, in case you scare Lil’ Lin and the others. For them to come at this time, their target is most likely me. I’ll get out of the car first and lure them over. You just have to find an opportunity to follow them and finish them off.” Gu Qingxue also lowered her voice as she spoke. She then reached out and patted Gu Lin and Dumby’s heads. ‘You two protect your little sisters. Mother will be back soon.”
“Yes, I am. We know.” Gu Lin and Dumby held hands as they watched Gu Qingxue leave.
The carriage stopped. Gu Qingxue got off the carriage and quickly walked towards a small alley by the side of the road.
A black-robed woman who had been following behind the carriage immediately said excitedly, “Hurry up! What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and catch up!”
