Bai Song originally thought that this little sister was pure and innocent, but now it seems that wasn't the case.

After lunch, they chatted for a bit. Gu Mingyan then took out a book and carefully read it, with his head lowered, fingertips brushing the gaps of the book, he looked like a well-behaved lady in a room.

The eyes of her little sister were beautiful.

The peach blossom eyes were enchanting to begin with, causing one to constantly glance sideways. With just a cursory glance, it was possible to see a large amount of peach blossoms landing heavily on the apex of the hearts of the men.

Gu Mingyan's peach blossom eyes always had a calm expression, unlike the beautiful spring flowers or the desolate and cold side of the Peach Blossom, with only the faint expression of a lone high mountain that was like a silver moon, changing as one reads quietly. While her eyebrows were knitted together, her eyes were still wandering slowly within the scrolls.

Bai Song stared at her for a long while, until Gu Mingyan finally raised his eyes with unease. Only then, did his eyes reveal some simple emotions.

"Cousin, why are you staring at me?"

"It's just that I feel that my cousin's eyes are beautiful, but they don't seem like those of a fourteen year old girl."

Bai Song thought about his cousins, who were either as dignified and dignified as a noble girl at fourteen years old or were all lively and free. Often, the little girls would make a ruckus in the house, and even the noble girls would not be happy sitting alone.

However, as Gu Mingyan sat in this unfamiliar room, his expression was actually light, without a single trace of loneliness.

"Cousin, you are flattering me. Those eyes are merely the eyes of a parent, and there is no other choice." Gu Mingyan then closed the book, so as to prevent his cousin from looking at him with a gaze that felt like it was on his back, he lifted his eyes and said: "In the past when I saw my cousin, I really thought that my cousin was just a servant.

Bai Song only laughed faintly, and looked at her. "Father and uncles wants to retract their edge, but I naturally do not wish to do so, so I have no choice."

As the eldest son of the Bai Clan, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. Naturally, he had to be very careful, afraid that he would make a mistake and lose everything.

This was truly an unpolished jade stone.

"Cousin, can you do me a favor as well?"

"Cousin, please speak."

Gu Mingyan nodded his head in agreement, but then he saw Bai Song take out a jade carp from his sleeve.

He even felt a little embarrassed. "If Cousin starts school in half a month and hands over this Jade Carp to Siyun, she would be considered one of the talented girls in the Southern Viewing Academy. However, since we're already engaged, I can't delay her any longer.

Elegance?

Gu Mingyan seemed to have heard a bit or two from Xu Chang's perspective, and knew that she was a talented girl similar to his younger sister Gu Ziyan. However, her appearance was ordinary, and she had grown slightly fat, so there were very few people who brought her up, and she was even the daughter of a rich merchant, as though they wanted to marry her into some official's family.

"Are brothers and sisters not in the academy?"

Today was only the first time they met in an honest manner, so it was really strange for Bai Song to give him such a token of love.

"Father and uncles are like thin ice. If we send our children back to the Southern Viewing Academy, they will inevitably have to participate in these matters." Bai Song's face revealed helplessness, seeing that Gu Mingyan was suspicious, he continued to speak: "However, my uncles should be discussing it with grandfather today, if there is a chance in the future, my younger brothers and sisters can also enter Southern Viewing Academy and study well."

The people from the National Duke's Mansion up and down seemed to be a little too cautious.

Gu Mingyan slightly frowned, he didn't know that his National Duke's Mansion had reached such a level in the midst of hiding from the world.

He carefully placed the Jade Carp in his bosom and asked, "I will personally go to find Miss Siyun when the time comes. Is cousin aware of a person called Mrs Xu?"

"Mrs Xu just took a leave of absence a few days ago to go back home to save her family. She will be returning home in a few days." Bai Song had been controlling the entire mansion since he was so young, so he naturally knew about it. It was just that he was confused: "Cousin sister, what do you need from Lady Xu?"

"It's not an important matter, it's just that Your Highness has a small item that was once created by Lady Xu. I think that if I can find Grandma Xu to help her repair it, I won't have to trouble Your Highness to take care of it."

Gu Mingyan rubbed his nose guiltily, he only wanted to know if this excuse would work.

Bai Song looked at her meaningfully, thinking that she was just starting to have feelings for him, and agreed immediately: "Wait until Mrs Xu comes back, I will send someone to deliver the letter, and will not let anyone else know. So that you can give his majesty a surprise. "

"Thank you, cousin!"

Gu Mingyan smiled sweetly and decided not to read anymore. He followed Bai Song to find a group of his siblings to play.

Looking carefully, there were five or six siblings and three or four siblings on top of them. Gu Mingyan found a gap and asked Bai Song: "How are second and third aunts born?"

As soon as he finished, his forehead turned red from Bai Song's smack.

"It's getting more and more out of hand. Most of these younger brothers and sisters are children who are not part of the family. Although the Bai family has not been implicated, their foundations were shaken and they had no choice but to protect this group of children. That's why there are so many."

Bai Song spoke in a harsh tone, with the dignity of an elder brother.

Gu Mingyan then suddenly realised, the matter regarding National Duke's Mansion back then was definitely not simple.

It's just that Gu Zhiyuan even dared to kill his wife and mother like that, it really was from the Madam Liu.

But unfortunately, she wasn't a good person.

It was only until sunset, when personally drove the carriage to the door, that Gu Mingyan reluctantly let go of the two little girls, and climbed onto the carriage with a messy set of snow stains. Chun Ying, who was sitting on the carriage, hurriedly helped her remove the snow on her body and head.

"It's alright, it's just a few brothers and sisters fighting in the snow. Daddy didn't really care about me, so I'll just go back and change my clothes."

Gu Mingyan was in a very good mood, she could even wink playfully at Qiu Mei.

The servants had nothing to say, so Gu Mingyan carried Grandma Tang and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because of the decorations of the New Year, the red lanterns were spread with the eaves of the houses. The servants such as Qiu Fu, as well as the personal attendants and maidservants were all wearing red gowns, and red silk was even hung on the dead trees in the courtyard that was filled with heavy snow. If he did not know the differences in customs, Gu Mingyan would have thought that he would get married here.

Stepping on the flames of the red lanterns as he entered, Gu Mingyan went back to change into a light pink dress. This robe was found by Aunt Zhou after hearing her highness's words, and was of high quality.

In addition to the fiery-red cape, her face was even redder and more pleasing to the eye, and her eyes were also a little warm, causing one to be unable to shift their gaze away.

Just as he entered the hall, Gu Mingyan heard his voice.

"How unlucky! So, in the new year, you only have this set of black clothes? "

Once he stepped in, Gu Mingyan realized that there was a thin and weak boy that he had never seen before sitting at the corner of the table.

Who is this?
