Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Gucheng, you speak so much better than before! I never asked, don't you like talking?"
Gucheng pursed his lips and replied, "I used to stutter when I was little, so I tried to talk as little as possible. It's not that I can't speak. Seventh Miss, you need not worry."
"So that's why."
Jiang Ning looked down at the retreating buildings, clutching his clothes and asked, "Gucheng, how did you get wounded on your face?"
"Swords and knives have no eyes, it's normal to get hurt."
"Did my uncle get hurt too?"
"A bit, but it's not a big deal."
"That's good. But why are you here in the city instead of protecting him?"
"It was the general's order."
"My uncle is truly wise. Let's hurry to the Liu Family!"
The Liu Family she mentioned was Liu Lang's family, also known as the family of Princess Ling'an.
As a princess, Ling'an had her own manor, but she lived there alone; Liu Lang and their two children still lived in a distant place.
