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...
“Yes, it’s good that she can’t remember.” Gu Xin also sighed.
Neither the master nor the servant spoke again in the carriage.
Halfway there, I could hear the sound of raindrops on the roof of the car.
"It's raining, Third Miss!" Dongxue said as she lifted the curtain and saw what was happening.
"Tell the driver to hurry, or he'll get soaked in the rain. Getting wet in the rain this time of year might cause him to catch a cold," Gu Xin instructed.
Dongxue lowered the curtain, moved to the carriage door, and spoke to the driver.
"Alright! Princess Xinxin and Miss Dongxue, please sit tight." The coachman naturally wanted to get back quickly and didn't want to get wet in the rain.
He felt the raindrops a little earlier than Dongxue, but he was thinking that the princess from the capital was in the carriage, and he didn't want to bump her if the carriage went too fast, so he kept a steady pace.
Now that the princess has spoken, he is certainly willing to go back quickly rather than get soaked in the rain.
The coachman was still thinking to himself, "Princess Xinxin is indeed as kind and understanding as the people say! She's a good princess."
With this increased speed, the remaining distance was covered in just fifteen minutes, even though they had already covered half the distance.
Someone from the Wang family was already waiting at the gate with an umbrella. By the time Gu Xin returned to the guest courtyard arranged for her by the Wang family, only her feet were wet; not even the hem of her skirt got wet.
I sat down and drank a glass of warm water, and then the rain outside started to intensify.
"Wow, we're so lucky! The rain got heavier as soon as we got home." Dongxue went to find clean shoes for Gu Xin to change into, and couldn't help but sigh as she listened to the sound of the rain outside.
When the word "lucky" comes up, Gu Xin thinks of how her family often says she's lucky.
That's true, she does seem to be very lucky. On rainy days, she never gets wet. The rain only starts to get heavy after she finds shelter from the rain.
Moreover, her shelter from the rain wasn't the pavilion or under the eaves that most people would say; it was almost always inside a house, and she never missed doing what she needed to do because of the rain.
When she has something urgent to do, the heavy rain usually starts after she has finished her business.
Thinking about this made Gu Xin laugh to herself.
Everyone said that, and after a while, she started to believe it herself.
She was her parents' biological daughter, but not God's.
Gu Xin always felt that she was just being rewarded for her good deeds. God had given her the hardships that were meant to be hers, such as before she was ten years old, and when she was thirteen, she was stranded in the west alone.
However, the hardship was minor; to be precise, it was a period of refinement.
It made her stronger and stronger.
This made her increasingly cautious.
After changing into clean shoes, Fatty Wang came over with an umbrella.
"Did Third Miss get caught in the rain?" Fatty Wang asked with concern as he watched Dongxue leave with the shoes Gu Xin had taken off.
"My shoes were a little wet, but Dongxue insisted on changing them for me. What brings you here? Ask your uncle and cousin, right?" Gu Xin greeted Fatty Wang, explained, and then asked.
"Hmm. Are Uncle and Cousin alright? Did Cousin get a headache or dizziness from being so emotional?" Fatty Wang nodded and asked.
"It's alright. The father and daughter hugged each other and cried. After a while, I reminded her to stop crying, or her head would hurt. She was quite good at holding back; she really did manage to hold back her tears," Gu Xin said.
"That's good, that's good. I was just worried about my cousin's head. She was injured ten years ago, and then injured it again ten years later. I don't know if there's any cure." Fatty Wang sighed and said.
