My Entire Family's Gone Haywire Novel! - Chapter 818
818 The Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind
After breakfast, the two of them left the courtyard.
In the past, Huo Junhao still lived here. This time, the two Huo family elders would be here. They had a courtyard in the prefecture. Previously, Huo Junhao had stayed in their house for his examinations. So, this time, neither of the siblings slept with Lu Zheng. The other slept with the Gu sisters.
Grandpa Gu, grandma Xiao, and Grandpa Zhou were all staying at third aunt Gu’s place. After playing mahjong last night, the four old people didn’t want to move.
!!
Although Lu Zheng really wanted to go shopping with Gu Xin alone, his rationality prevailed and he brought Gu Xin along to meet up with Gu shouxin and the rest.
Along the way, he could sense that someone was following him.
He was not flustered at all. The Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind. The Oriole he raised was following behind. Perhaps he would find out who the Lin clan was contacting in the prefecture today!
In any case, he had thought of all the people he knew in the prefecture, but he could not think of anyone who could confirm his identity and tell Madame Lin.
Li Shan was drinking tea in the teahouse. When she saw Lu Zheng and Gu Xin walking past, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.
Tonight will be the day you die.
Li Shan had already contacted the people from the Lin group. However, she was smart and did not use her identity. Instead, she used Zhu Mingsheng’s help. She knew that there were many things about the Zhu family. With half threats and half temptations, Zhu Mingsheng would take the bait very quickly. He would not betray her for the time being because there was no need to. Everything she did was beneficial to the Lin group. The Lin group and the Lin family would only give Zhu Mingsheng benefits.
She was thinking of a way to make use of Duke Rong and his wife. By relying on these two, she would be relying on the Empress Dowager. When the time came, she would have nothing to fear.
Li Shan only left the teahouse after she could no longer see Lu Zheng and Gu Xin.
……
In the evening, the Gu sisters went to the lantern show together.
Gu Hui and Gu Nian went to the Li family’s house together. Strangely, Gu en wanted to follow them. His reason was that he wanted to see what the lights in the house looked like. He also wanted to see the little trinkets in li Muyan’s house.
The Gu family did not suspect him. Gu Hui and Gu Nian did not think much of it. It was good to bring en ‘Zi along. He would be attending all sorts of cultural events one day. He wanted to bring him to experience the world of the older children first.
Gu en sighed in his heart.’Second brother, what I’ve done for you is comparable to what I’ve done for Yingying. If you were a woman, I would have suspected that I’ve fallen for you.’
This year’s Lantern Festival was still very lively. Gu shouxin accompanied Cai Xiaolian to set up a stall on Liansheng Street. Although Liansheng Street had not been repaired yet, it was good to have a lively atmosphere in advance!
As a result, only the eldest couple and the fourth couple were left to accompany the children.
When Gu Xin got into the crowd, she realized that brother Yuanyuan was not around!
When she asked, she found out that her brother Yuanyuan had something to do in the afternoon and told her family that he would go to the lantern show to find them later.
Hence, she didn’t think too much and happily followed everyone to the lantern show.
Gu Ren was the most excited. He had just been born last year, so he naturally did not see it. This year, he could sit on his father’s shoulder, and his vision was further than others!
He saw so many pretty girls and was drooling happily.
It was also Zhang Shi’s first time coming to the lantern show in the prefecture. There were so many people that they were afraid that they would get lost, and they held onto uncle Gu’s clothes tightly.
Fourth uncle Gu and Yang Shi had come here last year, and they were newly-wedded, so they were soon separated from the rest of the group. They were going to go to their own world!
Uncle Gu said to Huo Junhao, ” “Keep an eye on the Three Sisters. If one of them is missing, you’re done for!”
