After lunch, Gu Qingli and Xiao Yunjing returned to Gu Qingli's parents' house. Ms. Wu had worked as a wet nurse in the Capital City Gu Residence for several months and should have some understanding of its people and affairs. To find out who wanted her life, she needed to learn more about the individuals and goings-on there.
When they arrived, the family had just finished their meal. Dashuang and Xiaoshuang were helping Gu Dalin walk slowly around the room, while Ms. Wu was washing dishes.
"Li'er and Yunjing are back! Come in quickly!" Gu Dalin called out cheerfully when he saw them.
"Alright. How is your leg, Father? Is it still painful?" Gu Qingli asked.
"It's much better. By next spring, I should be almost fully recovered. You must have come to see Dashuang and Xiaoshuang, right?" Gu Dalin asked.
"Yes, we'll check on how their studies are progressing in a bit," Xiao Yunjing replied.
