Chapter 51 Like Falling into an Ice Cellar
"If I don't take you back today, your two sisters will become my concubines, and I will marry the woman from Dongzhai as my wife." Xiaoyu's fiancé said word by word.
When Xiaoyu heard this, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
That woman from Dongzhai had a huge grudge against her. Her two younger sisters were only twelve, and she...
"How about it, do you agree?" Xiaoyu's fiancé smiled coldly.
"I, I'll go with you." Xiaoyu said with red eyes.
Gu Xiaoxi could see that Xiaoyu had compromised. She was worried about the wound on Xiaoyu's heart, so she got up from the ground and walked over.
"You, what are you going to do?" asked the man standing in front.
"Miss Xiaoyu is injured, please be careful." Gu Xiaoxi reminded.
Xiaoyu didn't expect that Chen Langjun's cousin would still care about her injury at this time.
However, she couldn't let this man know about the pain in her heart, so she covered her waist and said, "I, I twisted my waist today when I went to the street with this sister."
Gu Xiaoxi understood that Xiaoyu was worried that the love Gu would be discovered by this man and she would suffer.
Thinking of this, she continued, "It's a serious matter for a woman to sprain her waist. Miss Xiaoyu, remember to apply ointment when you go back."
As she spoke, she took out a box of ointment in a porcelain bottle from the space and handed it to Xiaoyu. From then on, Xiaoyu could only fend for herself.
"Thank you, thank you cousin." Xiaoyu looked at Gu Xiaoxi gratefully.
The man looked at Gu Xiaoxi, obviously half-believing and half-doubting.
Gu Xiaoxi warned with a cold expression, "Although Xiaoyu and I haven't known each other for long, she's a very nice person. Don't bully her, or I, as her elder sister, won't let you go!"
"Our Chen family is willing to add some makeup to Xiaoyu. She has been in poor health these days, so don't let her do any heavy work." Mr. Chen also said from the side.
"Didn't he elope with the young master of your Chen family? Why are you willing to add makeup to her?" The man obviously knew nothing?
"If they really eloped, they would have gotten married long ago. Why would they wait for you?" Gu Xiaoxi retorted.
The man thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. This family was obviously wealthy, so he probably wouldn't marry a girl from the mountains.
"Xiao Yu knows some medicinal herbs in the mountains. My cousin went into the mountains to look for them, but he didn't know how to use them, so he brought people back?" Gu Xiaoxi made up an excuse and looked at Uncle Yu.
Chen Yu immediately understood, went into the second young master's room, and told him what was happening outside.
Although Chen Qijun was not happy about it, he still got up from the bed in order to cooperate in getting rid of this plague god.
"Don't cover your chest, cover your back." Chen Yu reminded in a low voice.
Chen Qijun was confused, but afraid that people outside would hear him, so he didn't ask any more questions. He obediently covered his back and was supported by Chen Yu as he walked out.
Xiaoyu was extremely excited to see Chen Qijun, but when she saw Gu Xiaoxi's eyes, she immediately suppressed her excitement.
After Chen Qijun came out, he bowed to Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you for the medicine, Miss Xiaoyu. I'm not fully recovered yet. Cousin, please help me see her off."
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
The man saw that there was nothing special in the way Chen Qijun looked at Xiaoyu, so he believed their lies.
Gu Xiaoxi and Chen Yuanwai said some nice words before sending this group of people away.
Mr. Chen sent two carriages to take them to the foot of the mountain, and the dowry was also placed on the carriages.
Just in case, Chen Yu went with the carriage.
Seeing the carriage gradually disappear into the darkness, Mr. Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Oh, finally sent him away!" He sighed deeply.
"That's right. This girl is also very stubborn. She was seriously injured in the process of removing the curse. I hope that adding makeup can trick her." Gu Xiaoxi sincerely hoped that the girl would get better.
"I hope so. If it happens again, it will be troublesome." Mr. Chen said worriedly.
"After they consummated their marriage, the curse no longer worked on Young Master Chen," said Gu Xiaoxi.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen was very curious. Why did Gu Xiaoxi ask them to prepare the dowry?
Gu Xiaoxi saw what Mr. Chen was thinking and explained, "It's best to make friends with these mountain people who understand the Dao, unless you have someone more powerful around you."
Mr. Chen thought there was nothing wrong with what he said.
After working for most of the night, everyone was exhausted.
He said with a smile on his face: "Xiaoxi, you have worked hard. Go back and rest. I will ask Lao Yu to drive you back tomorrow."
"Thank you very much." Gu Xiaoxi bowed and thanked him.
"We are the ones who should say thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would explain to my elder brother." Mr. Chen felt a little scared when he thought about this.
If I hadn't been in a hurry to get that batch of mountain products, this wouldn't have happened.
Young people are still a little unstable, and there are too few children as thoughtful as Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi returned to her room and took a nap before dawn. Yesterday was the day to go into the city. I wonder if her elder brother and the others went?
Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep anymore. She got up, tidied herself up and opened the door.
After working all night last night, Mr. Chen and the others also took a rest.
Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the Chen family’s gate and Chen Yu chased after her.
"Miss Xiaoxi, why are you leaving so soon?" Chen Yu asked.
"Uncle Yu, I have something to do at home." Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to disturb Mr. Chen, who was too polite.
"You must not have slept well last night. It's such a long journey. I'll send a carriage to take you back." Chen Yu said worriedly.
"Thank you very much." Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse. She did feel a little tired.
Chen Yu gave his servant some silver and asked him to buy some cakes and some meat for Gu Xiaoxi on the way.
"Remember, buy her a backpack so she can carry it back." He carefully instructed the servant as he left.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yu. I will spend the money properly." The servant said clearly.
Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction, and the servant drove the carriage out.
Gu Xiaoxi bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Yu. I'm leaving now."
"If you need any help, feel free to come and see Uncle Yu." Chen Yu waved at Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi got on the carriage, and the servant drove the carriage to the city to buy a backpack. He filled the backpack with the contents before leaving the city.
Gu Xiaoxi asked the servant to park the carriage outside the village, and she got off there.
"Miss Xiaoxi, this is given to you by Uncle Yu. If you don't take it, I will definitely be scolded by the master when I go back." The servant looked at Gu Xiaoxi pitifully.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that it was not easy to be a servant in a wealthy family. He had done a big thing for him last night, so it was not too much to accept these things.
She took the backpack, put it on her back, thanked the man, and carried the backpack into the village.
At this time, the people in the village also got up and prepared to go up the mountain. Gu Xiaoxi took a detour to the back door and heard the discussion about their family. Only then did he realize that his second brother and sister-in-law had returned so soon.
A bad feeling came over her, and she stopped and pricked up her ears.
