When Gu Xin returned home, everyone in the family was already asleep. Only Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were still busy. One of them was reading a book while the other was making plans.
Since Gu Xin had said that she would be home within two hours, the couple did not say anything. They only told her to go to bed early and that she had work to do the next morning.
Gu si came back first and told her family about the emperor's arrangements for Gu Xin, so everyone knew that Gu Xin was going to the court of judicial review tomorrow.
Gu Xin returned to her courtyard and practiced a set of swordsmanship. Her entire body was sweating before she went to wash up and sleep.
……
On the 5th of February, Gu Xin woke up early in the morning.
She asked the servant girl to comb her hair into a bun and found men's clothes to wear. She also asked Dongxue to change into men's clothes and dress up as a man.
After breakfast, he left with Dongxue.
