Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Interested (2)

A twelve-year-old Jieyuan? Li Minghuan’s eyes widened instantly, how impressive must that be? It made him feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

“Gu Family from Shu Region?” Li Mingyin frowned, her focus evidently different from her brother’s; she was more concerned about Gu Qingheng himself.

Li Zhaoru nodded, “Indeed, the eldest son of the present Minister of Rites, Gu Sheng. It’s just a pity…”

“What’s the pity?”

“It is said that the wife of Minister Gu was the only daughter of the Shu Family from Tongcheng. However, later she died of an illness, envied by the heavens, and it is said that the eldest son did something quite disgraceful afterward, and was then expelled from the Gu Family. Since then, he’s disappeared…” Li Zhaoru sighed, “At that time, many spoke of it with much lamentation.”

Yet, Li Mingyin frowned, what bad thing could such a brilliant person do? She felt there must be some trickery involved, perhaps someone had framed him…

But that legendary figure wasn’t important to her now, her current interest was Gu Qingheng. She was already eighteen this year, already at the age for talking about marriage, yet sadly, she had not encountered a man who caught her eye – those handsome had empty heads, those talented looked ordinary. Now that she had finally met someone both talented and good-looking, naturally she could not let him go.

As for whether Gu Qingheng was already married or not, such matters were simply not within her consideration. She felt that such an outstanding man, how could he be married so early?

People in the Northern Region were open-minded and straightforward. Although Li Mingyin wasn’t purely from Yong City, she had lived here for many years and naturally adopted their temperament. When she met someone she liked, she pursued him.

She believed that with her own appearance, skills, and talents, she was entirely worthy of Gu Qingheng.

It was not that Li Mingyin was arrogant, but she was indeed excellent. She inherited all the good traits from her parents and was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age; even her horseback archery skills were better than her brother Li Minghuan.

She even dabbled in military tactics and often helped her father train soldiers.

Li Zhaoru sometimes liked to discuss many matters with his daughter, she truly exemplified the phrase ‘women can hold up half the sky’.

Ji Lin had once wanted to make his son kin with the Li family because of her, but Li Mingyin really didn’t fancy Ji Bin, the nincompoop, and flatly rejected him.

“Dad, since General Gu has already been stationed outside the city, shouldn’t we go out and pay a visit?” Li Mingyin suddenly spoke up, “We can’t just ignore it, can we?”

Li Minghuan couldn’t help but glance at his sister. Perhaps it was because twins have a so-called connection, although his sister was correct, he always felt her mood was off, as if she cared too much about Gu Qingheng, could it be…

“Yinyin is right, in a few days, I will go out to the city myself…”

“Dad, in a few days it will be too late, after all, we need his cooperation, so, I will go on your behalf tomorrow…”

“But it’s inconvenient for a girl to go into the military camp alone…”

“Then let my brother accompany me,” Li Mingyin looked at Li Minghuan, “That should be fine, right?”

“That’s fine,” Li Zhaoru didn’t even wait for his son to speak, and nodded, “Go and return quickly.”

After leaving their parents’ courtyard, Li Minghuan looked at Li Mingyin with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Li Mingyin frowned slightly.

“You have taken a liking to that Mr. Gu?” Li Minghuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
