After Gu Xin recovered from a serious illness, she discovered that her whole family had changed.
Her father, who was a gambling addict and nearly sold his wife and daughter, said he would nev...
Hearing that she had come out dressed as a man with a maid, and that because she had enough money and had been escorted by a caravan in Qingzhou Prefecture, she hadn't suffered any hardship, everyone was relieved.
Cai Xiaolian then asked her, "Zhiyi, after you met with Bai Si, did you write a letter to your mother?"
Xie Zhiyi nodded: "Second Aunt, I wrote it. I also had the escort agency send it back to me, and I asked about Brother Bai's situation, and I told Mother about it in the letter. Hehe, Second Aunt, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Gu Xin said, "Yiyi, Grandpa Peng has already sent people to help your mother. Your father doesn't dare to bully her anymore. Grandpa Peng said that after you arrive, you can stay at the Peng family's house, or you can stay at our house."
Huo Yanyu sighed, "Hey, Xie Zhiyi's name is naturally the same as everyone else's! I didn't even notice it until Sister Xinxin called her that!"
Gu Si's eyes lit up: "Oh right, oh right! Yi Yi, it sounds just like our names! My dad was saying last time that since Mom and my second and third aunts all had a baby this time, the character for 'heart' would be missing, so it would definitely have to be 'intention'. Dad even reserved the character for 'intention'! And then, Yi Yi, you came!"
Xie Zhiyi blinked. Oh right, no wonder she felt close to the Gu family when she first met them; it turns out their names were all taken together.
Well, she's quite willing to think that way.
After all, her and her brother's names were chosen by their mother, and since the family didn't care about the siblings, they went along with their mother's wishes.
Her mother loved her father very much and named her brother Nanfeng. Even after she was born, her mother's feelings for her father did not change. Therefore, the name Zhiyi came about, and Nanfeng knew my heart.
She preferred that she had this name because of her connection with the Gu family.
Grandpa Gu looked at the little girl, who was still so energetic after traveling for so long, and who got along well with all the granddaughters in the family. He stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Yiyi, you just arrived. Take a rest for a while. Go to your great-uncle's place first. Right now, only your great-uncle and fourth cousin are at home in the Peng family."
Xie Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, I know! Thank you for reminding me, Grandpa. When I met Guard Bai in Linzhou, I went to Cizhou again to bring gifts for Uncle and the others. Grandpa, Grandma, Aunts, let me tell you, the land we bought together made quite a bit of money! My mother made me learn to manage accounts like Sister Huihui, Sister Niannian, Xinxin, and Sisi, and to keep my own money. I have plenty of money now. I also bought a lot of things for you! But the things won't arrive for a while, so I paid the shopkeeper to deliver them. Guard Bai and I rode here first."
Grandpa Gu chuckled. This child, even after running away from home, didn't forget to bring back gifts for others.
Prefect Xie of Yuzhou is truly a disgrace to fatherhood. He doesn't cherish such a lovely girl, but instead dotes on his concubine's child.
Fortunately, Madam Xie was a good person. She didn't lead her daughter astray, and when her son did go astray, she promptly guided him back to the right path.
Grandpa Gu knew how difficult it was for him to harden his heart and let his beloved son, who had been pampered and lived a life of luxury for more than ten years, join the army on the border.
Back then, even though his second son was a drunkard and gambler, he couldn't bear to see his child suffer any hardship.
Madam Xie is a strong woman.
However, she married the wrong person!
I just hope that the people Brother Peng sent this time can support Madam Xie and make her life a little better!
Whenever Grandpa Gu thought of Xie Nanfeng, he would think of Gu Shouxin.
Back then, Xie Nanfeng was indulging in a life of pleasure and was on the verge of ruining his life. For Madam Xie to have him bound and taken to Kuncheng was truly remarkable.
