Chapter 361: Many Troubles in the Palace
After hearing what Ye Lixuan said, Gu Xiaoxi guessed that Ying San and Ying Liu might have used their true identities when going out.
If that were the case, they wouldn't be able to serve you.
"Actually, it's all okay. Someone comes back from buying groceries every day, and nothing else is a big deal." She felt that Ye Lixuan would definitely enter the palace, and it was probably only her and Gu Yao who lived here.
"I'll take you into the palace. I've asked Diguo to inform Gumi that she will take care of the child herself." Ye Lixuan didn't take the child into consideration.
There are a lot of gossips and troubles in the palace. Xiaoxi has space to protect herself, but it is still very troublesome to protect a child.
"Just arrange it." Gu Xiaoxi felt that Gu Yao really needed to be raised well.
"By the way, when Gu Mi comes, you will probably have to do something on the child's face. Those people will come out sooner or later. It will be troublesome if they are recognized." Ye Lixuan suddenly remembered this.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that this matter must be handled as soon as possible. After all, there were many eyes and ears, and if too many people saw Gu Yao's appearance, there would still be trouble.
"Okay, you go and rest for a while, I'll just wait for Gu Yao to come." Ye Lixuan knew that Gu Xiaoxi was tired after running around all day.
Um!
Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse. She got up and left, went into another room, locked the door and entered the space.
She returned to the space and had a good bowl of beef noodles before falling asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept before there was a knock on the door and she was woken up by Number One.
She left the space, opened the door, and saw Ye Lixuan standing at the door. Miserable crying sounds came from the other room.
"Gu Yao is here?" she asked.
"He's here, hugging his eldest nephew and crying inside!" Ye Lixuan said.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't try to stop them when she heard this, and the two of them sat down at the table outside the yard.
There were two more people in the yard, and Ye Lixuan called them over.
"Ruyi, Heyu, nice to meet the young lady!" The two maids stepped forward and saluted.
"Get up, there are not so many rules here." Gu Xiaoxi raised her hand and let them go about their business.
"Yes!" The two girls took the order and retreated.
Gu Xiaoxi and Ye Lixuan sat in the yard waiting. After a while, the door of the opposite room opened and Gu Yao walked out with his eldest nephew.
The two men walked up to Gu Xiaoxi and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
"I have offended Miss Xiaoxi before. Thank you for not holding a grudge against me and saving my eldest brother's child." After saying this, Gu Mi began to kowtow to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Mi kowtowed and Gu Yao followed suit.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t really care what Gu Mi did, but Gu Yao was such a thin child that she couldn’t bear to see him, so she reached out and helped the child up.
"Okay, that's all. However, many people have seen Gu Yao's appearance, so I need to change his appearance. Do you have any objection?" she asked.
"No, no, absolutely not." Gu Mi waved his hands repeatedly.
In fact, even if Gu Xiaoxi didn't mention this matter, he would have brought it up.
My nephew had a narrow escape from death. He was so lucky that his elder brother and sister-in-law were able to survive. Just in case, they still need to have a face transplant.
"Ayao, do the people inside know your name?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
Gu Yao shook his head: "I don't know. The two uncles I knew before also died a few days ago. Those people called me a wild child."
Wild child!
Gu Mi touched the child's head lovingly and said with tears in her eyes, "You are not a wild child, you are our Gu family's treasure."
"Uncle!" Gu Yao hugged his uncle.
It feels really good to be cared for by loved ones, and no longer have to worry about being bullied by others.
"Okay, let's eat first. I'll take a look at him after we finish eating." Gu Xiaoxi felt that Gu Yao was dirty every day in there, and many people couldn't see his face clearly.
However, Gu Yao used to be close to his father and those people, so he still needs to change his ways.
She thought about it and looked at Gu Mi, and felt that it would be fine to just fix it according to Gu Mi's appearance.
"How about you not call him uncle, call him dad instead? That way no one will suspect anything when you go out?" she suggested.
Gu Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "My father said that if I can survive and see my second uncle, he will be my father from now on, and I will be as filial to him as I am to my father."
Hearing this, Gu Mi burst into tears.
He recalled all the ignorant times when he was a child. Every time he got into trouble, his eldest brother would clean up after him. Although they were not born from the same mother, they were closer than any biological brothers.
"Dad, don't cry. Gu Yao will definitely be filial to you in the future!" Gu Yao raised his hand to wipe his second uncle's tears.
Hey hey hey…
Gu Mi nodded repeatedly, saying, "God has been very kind to me, and has given me a great son."
After he said that, he hugged Gu Yao tightly. The child was so skinny.
Ye Lixuan rarely saw Gu Mi like this, so he said, "From now on, you will take him to live here temporarily. Tell others that he is Xiaoxi's friend. Remember this."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Gu Mi nodded.
After waiting for a while, Ruyi and the others served dinner.
While eating, Gu Xiaoxi asked Ruyi to call the earthen pot over.
Diguo was so dirty that I was embarrassed to sit down.
"There is no outsider here. Go wash your hands and sit down to eat." Gu Xiaoxi ordered.
Diguo looked at Ye Lixuan, and when he saw Ye Lixuan nod, he went to wash his hands, then pulled a bench and sat down at a distance from them.
After Diguo sat down, Gu Xiaoxi asked Ruyi and Heyu to sit down and eat as well.
The two girls were a little afraid, and finally Ye Lixuan spoke up, and they sat down carefully.
After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi pulled Gu Yao into the house, gave Gu Yao some acupuncture, and then took him to the space for plastic surgery.
They were busy until midnight before they came out of the space.
Gu Yao's face was wrapped in cloth, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.
Although Gu Mi had experience, he was still waiting outside anxiously.
Finally seeing the door open, he hurried forward to check on his nephew.
"Does it hurt?" he asked.
"It doesn't hurt. Auntie said I've been given anesthesia, so it will be a little painful tomorrow.
But don't worry, Yao'er is not afraid of pain." Gu Yao was worried that he would cause trouble for his uncle.
Gu Xiaoxi recalled that when she was in there, the whips in the servants' hands often fell on the slaves without them noticing.
Gu Yao had experienced all these things at such a young age. When she examined him before, she saw the whip marks on his back.
The fact that he survived is probably due to the spirits of his parents in heaven. It was really not easy.
"Ye Lixuan, seeing how he looks, I need to stay here for a day tomorrow. Can you tell me how to arrange it?" She knew that Ye Lixuan was waiting to go to the palace to report.
