Xie Zhiyi strode forward angrily, crossed his arms, looked Gu Xin up and down, and said rudely, "Your surname is Gu, what's your name?"

Gu Xin laughed and said, "What's it to you?"

Xie Zhiyi smiled at her, thinking she was going to answer, but she was stunned by what she said.

While she was still in a daze, Gu Hui and Gu Nian bypassed her and followed Xie Nanfeng.

Xie Zhiyi's face turned red with anger. She turned around and chased after Gu Xin, trying to pull her away: "Hey, wait a minute! Ah!"

As a result, before his hand could even touch Gu Xin, he tripped over his own foot and fell.

Gu Xin turned her head, looked at Xie Zhiyi on the ground, and blinked.

It seems the daughter of the Prefect of Yuzhou isn't as capable as the daughter of the Prefect of Qingzhou! She doesn't seem to be as bright as Sister Su!

Xie Zhiyi was furious when she saw Gu Xin staring at her blankly. She reached out her hand and said, "Hey, aren't you going to help me up?"

Gu Xin reached out her hand: "Oh!"

Xie Zhiyi's eyes darted around, and she grabbed Gu Xin's little hand, ready to roll her to the ground.

Unfortunately, Gu Xin stood firmly and even pulled her up to her feet.

Du Ruo, who was behind her, was stunned for a moment. He thought he was about to reach out and stop Miss Gu!

Gu Xin blinked and smiled at Xie Zhiyi, "Miss Xie, I'm strong. You want to pull me down too, right? Hehe, you can't do it."

Xie Zhiyi's face flushed instantly: "You, how did you know I'm a girl?"

Gu Xin: "Because you're good-looking! Your skin is so fair, and you smell so nice! You're different from those stinky boys."

Xie Zhiyi: "...Really? You really think I'm pretty?"

Gu Xin nodded sincerely: "Yes, you really are beautiful. I rarely see a girl as beautiful as you, apart from my sisters."

Xie Zhiyi's earlier displeasure vanished instantly upon seeing Gu Xin's genuinely sincere expression.

She linked arms with Gu Xin: "You're looking for my mother, right? Come on, come on, I'll take you there! My mother likes pretty young girls too! And you're pretty too!"

Gu Xin said happily, "That's great. I might as well tell you, I'm the prettiest girl in our village."

Xie Zhiyi proudly raised her chin: "Then I'm different. I'm the prettiest girl in our Yuzhou Prefecture."

She was secretly thinking, "Luckily you're from your village, not from our Yuzhou Prefecture, otherwise you would have stolen my spot as the most beautiful girl."

Although Xie Zhiyi was holding her arm, Gu Xin didn't forget Gu Hui and took Gu Hui's arm on the other side as they walked inside.

Gu Hui twitched her lips. Had she finally met a fellow vain person?

Luckily, you two don't live in the same place, otherwise you would have been fighting over who is the most beautiful since you were little.

Xie Nanfeng felt very bitter. Did his unreliable sister completely forget about her seriously injured brother after seeing a pretty young lady?

Also, this girl just dragged him to see my mother like that, and I didn't even have time to remind my mother that they had a token!

After entering the mansion, Xie Nanfeng noticed that the others had completely forgotten about him and were taking a shortcut to find his mother. He thought he should remind them first.

Xie Nanfeng arrived first. Madam Xie was terrified when she saw him like this. Before she could even ask him anything, he interrupted, "Mother, don't speak yet, listen to me. The people from Qingzhou Prefecture who sell toiletries are here. Be polite when you speak to them; they have powerful connections. Talk to them nicely, and as long as you can make money, you can do the business! Oh dear, they're here, I'm outta here!"

Xie Nanfeng was about to say something, but when he heard Xie Zhiyi's loud voice outside, he ran away.
