Gu Jinyu felt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell overnight. Shock, fear, sadness, and the grievances of losing her parents were intertwined in her heart, like a huge net, trapping her whole body. "Mother wants to find a time to arrange for you to meet with the Gu family..."
Yao shi said a lot later, but Gu Jinyu didn't hear a word.
Yao shi gently took her hand and let her rest.
It was night, and Gu Jinyu was lying on the luxurious and soft bed, feeling sleepless for the first time.
A strong wind blew outside the house, blowing the branches and leaves rustling.
Gu Jinyu lifted the quilt and walked down to the ground, opened the door, and a gust of wind rushed towards her face, blowing up her robe and blue silk.
"Oh! Miss, why did you come out? Such a strong wind! Be careful of catching a cold!"
The little girl who was on duty at night hurried forward to help Gu Jinyu into the house.
Gu Jinyu said lightly, "I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk."
"Ah... But it's so late..." The little maid said, seeing that Gu Jinyu had no plans to go back to the house, she swallowed her admonition, "Wait, young lady, this maid will bring you a cape!"
"Yeah." Gu Jinyu nodded.
The little girl found a soft cloak from the closet for Gu Jinyu to put on.
Gu Jinyu looked down at the cape on her body, and suddenly murmured, "Five-flowered horse, a thousand gold furs, Hu'er will come out for wine."
The little maid asked in a daze: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly recite poetry? Do you want to write poetry?"
The little girl didn't understand poetry, but Yuru did, but unfortunately Yuru was kicked away by Gu Yan.
Gu Jinyu picked up one corner of the cape and murmured, "Do you know what a thousand gold fur coats are? What I have on me is that some people can't buy a piece of clothing like this for a few lifetimes without eating or drinking."
The little maid understood, she smiled and said: "That's natural, the lady is the daughter of the Hou's mansion! It's not comparable to those commoners outside!"
"What's your name?" Gu Jinyu asked.
"Slave Xiaoli." The little maid replied.
After Yuru left, the servants around Gu Jinyu were screened by Master Gu, and the most recent ones were a few fresh faces.
"Are you from a nearby village?" Gu Jinyu asked again.
"Yes!" The little maid answered with her eyes wide open.
Gu Jinyu looked her up and down: "You look younger than me, how could your family be willing to let you out as a servant girl?"
The little maid smiled: "Miss is joking, being a maid in the villa is a beautiful job that no one in our village can ask for! There are four sisters in the slave's family, and only the slave's job is the best!"
Gu Jinyu was stunned: "The four sisters... do they all have work to do? No brother at home?"
The little maid nodded and said, "There is an older brother and a younger brother, the older brother is getting married, we are earning a dowry, and the younger brother will marry in the future, and he will also earn his share. However, if we all marry well, we will accept The dowry money should be enough for them to get married."
There was no complaint in her tone, as if she was born to live for her brother.
Gu Jinyu felt that her three views had been overturned.
She was raised in the Hou Mansion since she was a child. There are three older brothers and one younger brother in the family. Although the younger brother is naughty, he only bullies her and will not oppress her. The three older brothers are all young and promising. I thought about sacrificing my stepsister to pave the way for them.
Gu Jinyu listened to the little girl talking about family affairs again, and found more and more that Gu Houye and Yao Shi were the best parents in the world.
She was reluctant to give up such a good mother and mother, and she could not give up everything in the Hou Mansion.
The next day, Lord Gu and Mrs Yao came to see her, her eyes were swollen like two walnuts.
The little maid explained: "Miss cried all night last night..."
"Go back." Yao Shi said.
"Yes." The little maid withdrew in panic. She was so worried that she didn't take good care of the young lady, which made the young lady sad. She should not be driven out of the villa.
Gu Houye and Yao shi came to the bed, Gu Houye stood beside him, Yao shi sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Mother—" Gu Jinyu threw herself into Yao's arms, and big tears dripped into Yao's chest, "Don't abandon your daughter... My daughter can't bear you... I can't bear my father... My daughter, don't leave you—"
Gu Jinyu was crying like this, and it made Lord Gu's heart cry.
He said distressedly: "Silly child, when did your father and mother say they don't want you? I have already discussed with your mother. The decision on this matter is up to you. If you want to go back—"
Gu Jinyu interrupted him crying, "If my daughter doesn't go back, she will honor her mother and father for the rest of her life!"
The poor child was an orphan when she returned, and Yao shi couldn't bear it, especially when she learned that Gu Sanlang and his wife had loved Jiaojiao so much, she couldn't treat Jinyu badly.
She stroked Gu Jinyu's face and said, "It's just that, even if you don't look back at home, you should go and put incense sticks on your biological parents."
"Yeah!" Gu Jinyu agreed with tears.
Yao shi nodded in relief, got up and went to see Gu Yan with Lord Gu, Gu Jinyu suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said with choking: "It's my fault, I have occupied the identity of my sister for so many years, and I have also robbed the most beautiful woman in the world. Good mother and father, when my sister comes back, I will definitely take care of my sister, together with what my parents have given me over the years... together with my sister!"
Yao Shi touched her head.
The couple went to see Gu Yan again.
Gu Yan hadn't slept all night, excited like a little bullfrog, croaking all night, Yu Ya'er was about to be annoyed to death by him!
Still the most cute little boy who is quiet and ignores people!
Gu Yan was so happy that he even forgot to give it to his father.
Gu Yan said, "She likes me!"
Yao shi looked at his son dotingly: "Mother knows."
Gu Yan said again: "I like her too!"
Yao Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Gu Yan sat up straight and said, "I'm going to find her!"
Yao shi held her son's hand and said softly, "Give her some time to digest it."
