"Boss Gu?" Baixiang saw Gu Shuo standing in the courtyard the moment she stepped outside.
Hearing her voice, Peony and the other ladies came out as well.
Gu Shuo stepped forward. "I was just at the gate and heard the ladies say you plan to go to the border with Xiang Minghou?"
"That's right."
"The General is so gravely injured. If we travel with him, we can take good care of him on the road."
The ladies all chimed in at once.
Gu Shuo waited for them to quiet down. "When Xiang Minghou awakens, he will not be going to the border."
"Not going to the border? Then where?"
"He has his own business to attend to. It's absolutely impossible for him to bring all of you with him."
Peony looked at Gu Shuo, a knowing glint in her eyes. "Boss Gu, if you have something to say, please say it directly."
"I do indeed have a matter to discuss with you ladies. May we speak in private?"
"Alright."

The next day, the sun rose slowly.
