"Forget it, you're still young. You should train your body first."

Gu Mingyan just realised that the person in front of him was only a twelve year old boy. He immediately softened his voice, took the bowl and chopsticks, and placed it next to his mouth to eat, then continued: I can't protect you all day, and only the two of us know how to secretly give things to you tonight. You don't have to worry about me planning things against you, just think that I'm your sister, and wait until you finish training your body …

"Do I have a use for it?"

The boy asked in a low voice. He gently grabbed onto the corner of Gu Mingyan's clothes and raised his head to look at her.

Those eyes were ablaze, burning with stars.

Gu Mingyan was slightly taken aback, but shook his head. "It's of no use."

The light in the boy's eyes seemed to fade again, but his forehead was covered with a warm hand.

"What use can a child have?" Gu Mingyan's voice came out right after, the fried noodles were also placed on a chair by the side. The boy raised his head, and smashed into Gu Mingyan's smiling eyes.

"But you'll grow up."

With that, the starlight in the boy's eyes ignited once more. He asked her, "Then what should I do?"

I'll bring you food and books at night, and I can also find someone to ask for some martial arts scrolls, but today, I still don't care about you at all, and I won't help you stop those people who disturbed and bullied you.

Gu Mingyan tapped the center of his brows with his fingertip: "Once you have the ability, Gu Qingzhou will naturally be surpassed by you. My goal has naturally been achieved. If you are to receive my help and still fail to accomplish anything, then treat it as our brotherly relationship. "

She wasn't going to bet on a child.

In any case, he was the younger brother of this man, and the grandson that his grandmother wanted to protect.

Just based on these two points, she was willing to give him some space to grow. In any case, after a year, she would cut off all connections with Shengan, find a place where she could hide her name, study medicine, and cultivate poisons.

The boy clenched his teeth and mustered up his courage to say, "Then … Can you be my sister? "I've lost my mother since I was a child, and father doesn't like me …"

She was still a child.

Gu Mingyan immediately nodded and agreed: "I am your big sister, but you have to keep your distance from me today. If aunty sees your ambitions, with my current appearance, I won't be able to protect you, but at night, as long as I have time, I will come over. You only need to tell me what you want to eat, and what you lack."

Suddenly, he was pounced on by his younger brother. The scent of the child was soft and warm, allowing Gu Mingyan to embrace her.

And that half a bowl of noodles was already completely cold.

To this child who was both sleepy and cold, this bowl of hot food for life was not even comparable to the embrace of a family member.

Too pitiful …

Gu Mingyan hugged the little brother in his embrace tighter. Only now did he remember his name, and quietly said: "Then can I call you Xu'er in the future?"

"Alright!" Gu Xu fearlessly rubbed against her neck.

Gu Mingyan only nodded his head. In the end, he tucked his tired brother into the bed and helped him hide the corners of his mouth, saying softly: "In a few days, Gu Ziyan and I will probably come, for the sake of Gu Qingzhou's position, Aunt will choose to kill you or rope you in. When that time comes, you have to adapt to the situation, I can only help you wander around, do you know?"

"Understood."

Unspoiled children tend to be more aware of the magnitude of the problem.

Gu Mingyan was not worried anymore. He finished the remaining half bowl of noodles, picked up the empty box and went back to his own Han Mansion with difficulty.

No one knew where she had gone to, but a seed had stealthily been planted in Gu Xu's heart.

On the morning of the second day, Madam Liu did not go to the Han Courtyard to look for Gu Xu. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that it was the new year and changed Gu Xu's clothes, adding a few things into the house.

Gu Xu shook his head with a cold expression.

If she had a follower, Sister Tun Yan wouldn't be able to come directly at night.

Gu Ziyan did not have any patience, he gave her something and went back to his mother's Madam Liu.

Mother and daughter sat in the room. Gu Ziyan was filled with dissatisfaction, her beautiful face was extremely sinister: "Mother! First, it was to win over Gu Mingyan, the bane of the world, and now, it is the unlucky bastard who is trying to win him over. It's fine if likes it but this Gu Xu is also … "

"Ziyan."

Madam Liu cut off her daughter's words and personally poured a cup of hot tea for her. "In the end, Qingzhou is not your father's."

"Then we will directly get rid of Gu Xu …"

"It's not like mother didn't think about it before, but your grandmother doesn't have any real power in the family, so she was still able to protect this grandson under your father's nose. Do you think your father doesn't have any other thoughts?" Madam Liu's voice rose a little, seeing that her daughter's face was pale, she said softly: If Gu Mingyan had not mentioned it yesterday, I would have forgotten about this bane, but now, look, your father even brought Gu Mingyan back, I'm afraid that the next one …

Gu Ziyan clenched his fists tightly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Although Gu Zhiyuan was not her own father, but after ten odd years of meticulous care, she had become somewhat dependant on him. She did not expect her father to suddenly change the way he was, and her heart was clogged up.

Madam Liu was also helpless. In the end, they all lived under the embrace of a man.

If she did not have Gu Zhiyuan as her backer, she would be completely useless. If Gu Zhiyuan really wanted to do something, they would not be able to stop him. Especially after staying in the mansion for so long, he had actually forgotten many things. Gu Mingyan joining them had undoubtedly changed the entire structure of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If she hadn't reminded him, Gu Zhiyuan would have secretly raised his youngest son up.

Madam Liu and her daughter were currently in a dilemma.

And there was an unexpected guest at the Han Chao Courtyard.

When Gu Mingyan was awake, he saw a familiar figure standing in a faraway place. He rubbed the corner of his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was her cheap father.

"Father?" Gu Mingyan asked curiously.

Gu Zhiyuan had already sat down slowly, waiting for her to wake up a little before saying: "Mingyan, do you think you saw Xu'er yesterday? That's your half-brother."

"I remember."

She didn't understand the meaning behind Gu Zhiyuan's words and only wanted to return to sleep.

"Your aunt has been trying to rope you in these past few days, I'm afraid she wants to isolate you."

Gu Zhiyuan looked at her worriedly. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he said: "Your aunt sees you and your mother as nothing, and that Gu Xu is actually your blood related little brother. How can you let her win over your little brother?"

Gu Mingyan was immediately roused from his stupor and sneered in his heart.

First, you borrowed me to be Gu Ziyan's stepping stone, and now you want me to balance your son Gu Xu and your legal wife?
