After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 236 Taking the Initiative to Make Friends

"Father, you are overthinking it. This was given by Madam Xue because of my good relationship with Xue Li, and it has no other meaning."

Gu Mingcheng was unhappy with his father's unfounded speculation about the General's Mansion's intentions, and corrected him with a stern face.

"I see, I misunderstood."

Gu Qingfeng stretched out his slender fingers and pinched the child's tender little face a few times, his eyes filled with laughter.

"Hmph, I don't want my friendship with Xue Li to be affected by Father. I hope Father will be careful with his words in the future."

Gu Mingcheng, head held high and chest puffed out, started lecturing Gu Qingfeng, his father, which made Yan Ning burst into laughter.

She didn't know who the child took after. Neither she nor her husband were old-fashioned people, so how come their son was so old-fashioned, like an old scholar?

Gu Qingfeng looked at his wife with doting eyes, his face full of helplessness.

This mother and son are both incredibly difficult to manage.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, an invitation from the General of the State's Mansion arrived.

Gu Qingfeng took the invitation and was intrigued to find that it was an invitation for his youngest son to attend Miss Xue's New Year's banquet.

"I heard from my colleagues that the baby girl who went missing from the General's Mansion had been found. I didn't know if it was true or not. Now that they've even held a New Year's banquet, it seems to be true."

"I hope this isn't another fake one."

Yan Ning had heard of it, but since he had little contact with the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Mother, please be careful with your words. Sister Xue is a very good person. I will not allow you to speak of her like that."

"Well....."

Yan Ning stared blankly, never expecting that her youngest son would be so biased towards outsiders, and she couldn't even say anything to him.

"Cheng'er, have you met Miss Xue? Tell your father what you think of her."

Gu Qingfeng put his hands behind his back and looked at his youngest son with a smile, quite curious about what kind of person Miss Xue was, that she could make Cheng'er switch sides so completely in such a short time.

You should know that Cheng'er is not a child who is easily swayed by other people's opinions.

"Sister Xue is a very nice person."

"anything else?"

Yan Ning couldn't help but ask curiously.

"very beautiful."

"anything else?"

"Your cooking skills are excellent."

"Can you finish your sentence in one go?"

Yan Ning felt that she was increasingly unable to control this kid.

"Cheng'er also wants a sister like Sister Xue."

After Gu Mingcheng finished speaking, he looked at his mother with anticipation, his meaning self-evident.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have the ability to give you a sister. If you want a sister, go ask your father."

Yan Ning quickly passed this hot potato to her husband, whose youngest son always asked strange questions that often stumped her.

"Then I, your husband, will do my best."

"Pfft, cough cough cough..."

Yan Ning choked on his saliva and coughed loudly.

Gu Qingfeng patted her back with a mixture of helplessness and affection.

He also longs for a sweet and loving daughter, but with only two sons in the family, he can't experience the joy of having a daughter.

"Then Father and Mother must not go back on their word."

Gu Mingcheng was very serious, like a little adult.

Yan Ning glared at her husband, too lazy to explain to this brat, and quickly changed the subject, "The Zhenguo General's Mansion is holding a welcome banquet for Miss Xue the day after tomorrow, should we go or not?"

“Go ahead. Although I have little contact with the General of the State, I admire his martial arts skills and his ability to lead 100,000 Xue family soldiers to resist foreign enemies. I deeply admire his courage. Now that Cheng’er and Young Master Xue are on good terms, why don’t we take this opportunity to visit the General of the State’s mansion more often?”

Gu Qingfeng, a frail scholar, had great respect for Xue Yan, a military general.
