The journey south to Guangzhou Palace was rather long, and taking into account Gu Xiaoyu's adaptability level, they had to slow down all the way, stop after stop, and by the time they arrived in Guangzhou, it was already midsummer.

However, that was only the beginning. After all, if one walked on water for two or three months, even adults would find it hard to endure. After the excitement had passed, Gu Xiaoyu began to wilt, and as the weather was getting hotter and hotter, she fell sick on the way and made herself difficult for others.

After finally getting into the Guangzhou Manor, Xie Jingxi was finally relieved, "Gu Xiaoyu keeps saying that she will not take the boat anymore, and I think that's about right, this is not a person's life."

Gu Yun, on the other hand, did not do anything. After keeping him alive for these two years, Gu Yun's body seemed to be much better than before, and there was not a single time when the poison broke out. Xie Jingxi did not know whether this was good or bad, and was worried about him the entire time.

Gu Yun took Gu Xiaoyu from her hands, "When she's older, I'll take you out to sea, it'll be more fun than this." In his arms, Gu Xiaoyu held her up to her shoulder and said, "Little thing, take me to the big ship with the cannons to play on. Your uncle's boat is much more imposing than this one."

Gu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "It's very harmful, what's a cannon? Is it bigger than Little Ye Miaomiao?"

"Hmm? "Haha …" Gu Yun held her up and walked around the place twice, "See that? My lady is just different from the others, she is interested in the ship's cannons, but she is not qualified, and has more interesting things than her. Little thing, it's time to come out and learn."

Just when they walked out of the cabin, Xie Jingxi saw Gu Wan waving at them. This girl was still not steady like before, she was about to jump into the water, regardless of whether they could hear her or not, she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Gu Wan led a four or five-year-old little boy, with a straight little face, he stood in his original position motionlessly, forming a stark contrast with Gu Wan who jumped off the bed earlier. Every time Gu Wan yelled out, his little face would twitch, looking like she wanted to immediately cut off all relationship between Gu Wan and her mother.

The little girl, Gu Xiaoyu, was currently nestled in her father's embrace, cautiously looking at the surroundings. The little girl was usually lively and bold, but deep in her bones, was her father's carefulness and sensitivity. Once she entered the environment that she was not familiar with, she would spontaneously become silent, like a leopard waiting for an opportunity to take action.

"Big brother! "Beautiful!" Seeing that they had landed on the shore, Gu Wan could no longer suppress her excitement and ran over. She threw herself at Xie Jingxi, almost pushing her back into the water again.

"Gu Wan, can we make some progress? Why are you still so careless?" Xie Jingxi patted her back, "In front of your first niece, you should leave a stable impression on her."

"Where's my niece? Oh, she's already so old. Let me hug her." Without saying a word, Gu Wan rushed into Gu Yun's embrace, but was stopped by Gu Yun, "Calm down first, then hug again. I'm afraid you'll throw her into the water."

"Ai ai, ai, no. You can't treat me like this, right? It's so easy to meet a girl here, I'm really excited. Can you let me hug you for a bit? I'll give birth to my own …"

In the end, Gu Yun did not give her a hug, and Gu Wan was so angry that she almost jumped up in anger, "I say, Jingwan, why is my big brother still asking for a beating? Where did Sheng Tong go? Sheng Tong... "

Gu Wan walked in circles for a long time before finally realizing that Sheng Tong was standing upright behind her butt, "Heh, why don't you make a sound, kid!"

Sheng Tong wanted to say that he had spoken, but his mother did not hear him at all.

Xie Jingxi noticed that this little boy looked extremely delicate and dignified. His appearance was somewhat similar to Gu Wan, but his temperament was completely different, it was difficult for a boy of this age to be so stable. Whether he was standing or walking, he looked so perfect, it was truly strange, how did Sheng Luan and Gu Wan raise such a perfect child.

"This is boss, right? Sheng Tong, he looks much more serious than you two."

"What are you saying? How am I not proper when his dad is dishonest? Let me tell you, if this brat didn't look like me, I'd even suspect that I was holding him wrongly."

The corner of Sheng Tong's mouth twitched again.

Coincidentally, when Gu Xiaoyu turned her head around, she coincidentally saw his expression, and her large eyes looked at him for a moment. Sheng Tong glanced at her, and politely smiled at her, as if nothing happened just now.

Of course, no one noticed the interaction between the two little fellows. Gu Wan's mouth never stopped talking, and had already told Xie Jingxi about Sheng Luan's broken legs.

When they finally got back to the Mansion, Gu Guan carried Gu Xiaoyu away as he wished. "My niece, she's so handsome. Call me auntie, please.

Gu Xiaoyu had always given her a lot of face, so she called out to her with a soft and sweet voice, "Aunt."

"This child is really obedient, and he looks smart too. Why is he so likeable? He's much stronger than my three kids. Jingwan, I'll trade three for you."

Xie Jingxi only laughed, Gu Yun glared at her, and said, "Go and live by yourself, stop trying to hit on my daughter."

"Hey, that's not it. What's wrong with that? It's as if someone stepped on his tail. Am I not out of favor? Big Brother, you were not like this before!"

"I changed it now, that's all."

Master Gu probably hated people who thought about his daughter the most, even if it was his own sister. Moreover, his own sister had three kids, so he had to be more cautious in the future.

"Wan'er, don't bother with your big brother. He's just like this.

"The two of them were taken out by my mother-in-law for fun, they would probably be back soon after lunch, and after that, Sheng Luan would come back early too. He has been nagging you for several days already, it's even more exaggerated than me."

"Aunt Su is here too. This is rather rare."

"Of course, it's impossible for her to not be here. As for my three living ancestors, how could they care about them all?"

Xie Jingxi looked at Sheng Tong, "Old majority is honest and steady, I think you should be more worried than me."

Don't compare him with me, I'm his mother. However, this child is too carefree, I'm worried that he's too old, just like our previous teachers. It's better if he's my first niece.

Gu Xiaoyu was clever, but well-behaved. She had a lot of schemes in her mind, but she acted like a lady from a noble family standing in front of Gu Yun.

Gu Yun, on the other hand, treated the stable little Sheng Tong differently. Ever since they met, this child had never done anything outside the pavilion. He acted really arrogantly, but when Gu Yun looked at him, he politely bowed and saluted, "Uncle."

Gu Yun smiled at him, then asked him, "What books have you read?"

Sheng Tong replied: "I've read most of the enlightenments, a few days ago I started to read Zhou Yi."

Gu Yun was obviously a little shocked, "Gu Wan, you're not bad, you actually managed to read till Zhou Yi. No wonder this brat is so righteous, he has a lot of good stuff in his stomach."

Being praised by Gu Yun in this way, Sheng Tong's face did not reveal any hint of happiness, nor did he show any modesty. A child who was not even five years old, was truly rare, and even the way Gu Xiaoyu looked at him could not move him.

Gu Wan said: "Hurry up, don't say anymore, I have a headache, you know? I'm confused, you said that no one in the Gu family of Sheng Family was able to read from start to finish, and even if it's just me, it's still considered a material for studying, after all, I've been to the Crown Prince, but Zhou Yi's books that make me dizzy just by looking at them, I haven't even finished reading them in my teens, and this brat is actually interested in them. I can't even teach him a lesson, who can I reason with if he's a bookworm."

Xie Jingxi giggled, "You still need to study? You went to the Crown Prince half of the time to cause trouble for the academy, right? The one who was mentioned by the school's top student, isn't that you, Gu Wan?"

"Go!" You can't insult my image like that, where's my eldest niece? I have to leave a good impression of her, how about little Ah Yu sleep with my aunt tonight? "

Gu Wan was like a big tail wolf trying to trick a child. She shook her head determinedly, "I don't sleep with my aunt, I sleep by myself."

Gu Wan was very embarrassed, "Heh, this lady has a good idea, she doesn't give me any face at all."

"Gu Wan, can you not embarrass yourself?!" "It's not like I can't give birth to her. I have to think about her daughter like a hungry wolf.

Sheng Luan looked a lot older than he had been for the past few years, even his face was still as pale as ever. The moment he opened his mouth, he was once again the General Sheng who had been in high spirits all those years ago.

Gu Yun patted his shoulder, "This meaning is that you have always been hypocritical towards me in the past, right?"

Sheng Luan smirked and beat him up, "You old fart, when you were young and frivolous, you couldn't experience any deep feelings, now you're not mature enough, or what you think is right?

"Not bad. I didn't think much of you."

"Fuck you!"

"Where is father's uncle?" Gu Xiaoyu raised her head with a puzzled expression. Her shameless manner caused the whole family to laugh.

Gu Yun was unhappy, "Can't you pay attention to your character? You've even messed with my daughter, I'll never finish this with you."

Sheng Luan laughed out loud, and with one hand, he lifted Gu Xiaoyu up into the air and swung him around a few times, making Gu Xiaoyu burst out in laughter, "Ash, gray, I know how to grey it, higher, hehe..."

Sheng Luan was elated, "Young lady is really bold, if you were even higher up, you would have already been on the roof. Are you not afraid?"

"Aren't you afraid that the fishes will go up to the rooftops …?"

"Heh, I like this girl's temper. Just be my daughter-in-law!"

The young lady's father's face immediately darkened, "Sheng Luan, come, let's go out and fight."
