My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

“But third sister, did you tell brother Yuan about this? Does brother Yuan agree?” Gu si asked.

“Brother Yuanyuan will definitely agree!” Gu Xin replied without hesitation, ” brother Yuan Yuan said that he’ll agree to anything I want to do. Even if I wanted to go to the sky to pick the stars, he would build a ladder for me!”

Gu si and Gu yingxue could not help but laugh.

……

The next morning, Gu Xin changed into a new set of clothes and brought Gu si into the palace.

Gu yingxue didn’t go. She was training the maids in the nursery. When Peng Yizhu came to the capital and passed her, the Gu family’s nursery would be officially open. That way, the Zhang and yang families wouldn’t have to take care of their children every day.

Zhang Shi had more time to learn how to be a housekeeper, Yang Shi could take care of her pregnancy, and after giving birth, she could rest for a while and go back to business like Cai Xiaolian.

“Why did you two girls come to see an old lady like me today?” When great-grandma saw her two great-granddaughters, she was extremely fond of them.

The two sisters held the Empress Dowager’s arm on either side as they strolled around the Imperial garden. Their exchange of words made the Empress Dowager’s mood extremely good.

Gu Xin held it in for the entire morning and finally said it during lunch.

“Oh? Why do you suddenly want to work at the Yamen?” The Grand Empress Dowager was a little surprised, she did not even know what had happened yesterday.

great-grandma, third sister was nudging you yesterday. Gu si told the Empress Dowager about what happened yesterday without Gu Xin even having to say anything. Gu Xin would add a few words from time to time.

“Our Xinxin is so powerful! As expected of my family’s young lady!” The Empress Dowager praised after hearing this.

“Hehe, I’m just like great-grandma, too smart!” Gu Xin said proudly.

“Hahahahaha!” The Empress Dowager laughed out loud.

Ever since she had reunited with her son’s family, she had been in a good mood most of the time.

“Great-grandmother, can you tell uncle Emperor to let me go to the capital governor’s manor? I’m not going to cause trouble, I’m really going to do something.” Gu Xin picked up some food for the Empress Dowager.

“Well, your uncle Emperor really likes you and treats you like his own daughter. I don’t know if he’ll be willing to part with you.” The Empress Dowager’s face was filled with hesitation.

“He’ll definitely be willing to. As long as you tell him, great-grandma, he’ll be willing. I really won’t cause any trouble, and I won’t use my identity as a Princess to intimidate others. I’m going to do practical things.” Gu Xin promised again.

“Then great-grandma sent someone to invite your Emperor uncle over, you tell him yourself?” The Grand Empress Dowager couldn’t stand the little girl’s coquettishness, but she had already decided not to get involved in court Affairs. If this great-granddaughter wanted to go to the Yamen, it was better to let the Emperor decide for himself.

If the Emperor doesn’t allow this

In the end, the Emperor did allow it, but he also put forward a condition.

There was a family in the suburbs of Beijing. In the first month of the lunar year, a family of 17 people died suddenly overnight. It had been half a month, and the murderer had not been found.

The emperor’s condition was for Gu Xin to find the real murderer and close the case within the next half a month. Then, he would allow Gu Xin to participate in any case she wanted to in the capital governor’s office, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice.

Gu Xin agreed immediately. She had heard about the case from the servants in her family, but there had been no progress in the past half a month. This was obviously not on the same level as the incident at the tea house, so she had to make some preparations.
