"Master Gu, are you there? Please open the door..."
Footsteps were heard in the distance, and the woman called out anxiously, crying, calling for her last straw.
Gu Lin was startled at first and wanted to go back to bed quickly, after all, it was late at night.
But he felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, so he bravely approached the door and asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who are you?"
"It's me, I'm Qiao Sisi..."
Gu Lin immediately opened the door, "Miss Qiao, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the wet Qiao Sisi and asked in surprise, "What happened to you?"
He hurriedly pulled the person in and called the housekeeper to help Qiao Sisi wash and change clothes.
"Miss Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Gu Lin asked cautiously.
In the dead of night, she, a young girl, soaked all over, came to knock on his door in a daze, probably because she had encountered some trouble.
"I..." As soon as she opened her mouth, Qiao Sisi couldn't stop sobbing.
Tears fell into the ginger soup, splashing little water.
Even though Qiao Sisi had moved out of the Qiao family, she still couldn't escape her original trajectory.
Her adoptive parents tricked her back home and asked her to marry a wealthy businessman in his fifties.
When Qiao Sisi refused to comply, they locked her up.
Today she found an opportunity to escape and jumped into the river to avoid being hunted by the Qiao family.
If the Qiao family can't catch her, they will definitely go to the orphanage where she lives now.
Therefore, she couldn't go back there.
In Kyoto, Qiao Sisi only has two good friends: Rong Xuqing and Jiang Xinran.
There were many people in their family, and she didn't want to disturb them, so she came to Gu Lin.
"Mr. Gu, please take me in for one night. I will leave early tomorrow morning." Qiao Sisi pleaded with red eyes.
She had nowhere to go and no ability to resist the Qiao family, so she could only leave Kyoto City and make it impossible for the Qiao family to find her.
"This is outrageous. After all, you are their daughter. How could they do such a thing!" Gu Lin's face was full of anger.
"I'll help you tomorrow..." Before he could finish his words, he immediately calmed down.
After all, this is someone else's family affair, and he, as an outsider, can do nothing.
If she really did something, it would ruin Qiao Sisi's reputation.
Gu Lin sighed deeply, "Just stay here and relax. I'll find Xu Qing tomorrow..."
"No need..." Qiao Sisi interrupted hastily, "No need to look for Xu Qing, I don't want to trouble her anymore..."
After Qiao Jiaojiao came back, she became the fake daughter who took over the magpie's nest.
I originally thought of living a cowardly life in the Qiao family.
After all, she had nowhere else to go except the Qiao family.
It was Rong Xuqing who helped her escape from the Qiao family, helped her get over her inner guilt, and worked with her to do charity work to atone for the mistakes made by her biological mother.
If she hadn't woken me up.
When Qiao's parents and Qiao Jiaojiao talked about this matter, Qiao Sisi would definitely agree to marry the rich businessman in order to atone for her sins.
Gu Lin knew her concerns and did not try to persuade her much. He just told her to be at ease and not to rush to leave tomorrow, but to take care of her health first.
There were marks on Qiao Sisi's wrists from being rubbed by the rope.
According to the housekeeper, she also had several injuries on her body.
Besides, if she wanted to leave, she would have to go back to pack her luggage and say goodbye to the people there. If the Qiao family didn't find her, they would definitely wait for her to return.
It's best for her not to show up these days.
…
General's Mansion.
When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Second brother, second brother, get up, the sun is shining on your butt..." Rong Chaoxi knelt beside the bed, pinching Rong Yubai's cheeks with both hands.
Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear eyes slowly opened, reflecting a smiling little baby.
The young man sat up cross-legged, his long, thick black hair spread out over his shoulders, and his black and white eyes could not hide his smile.
"You didn't go to school today?"
After the voice change period, the boy's voice is as warm as the sun, and a little deep.
Rong Chaoxi pouted slightly: "If I don't go, they will bully me!"
"The teacher is targeting me too!" The little fellow put his hands on his hips, his cheeks puffed with anger.
Rong Yubai frowned, looking confused.
It's good enough that you don't bully others. How could anyone bully you?
"How did they bully you?" Rong Yubai asked curiously.
What kind of bullying could make the little guy so angry?
"He called me worse than a dog..." Rong Chaoxi's eyes were filled with tears.
Rong Yubai's heart sank.
He has magic skills at his disposal, and no one in the mortal world can defeat him.
Rong Yubai never worried about her safety.
But we forget that verbal violence is also a form of harm.
At this moment, hearing this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly hugged her in his arms: "Why did you scold me?"
"Han Yu came to class with a dog in his arms. The teacher said that dogs know they can't talk in class." She looked at her second brother aggrievedly.
"He said I was worse than a dog."
The solemn expression on Rong Yubai's face froze in an instant.
"We have to form a team for archery class, but they won't join me. They're collectively isolating me..."
"They have lost me. I will punish them so that they will never see Chaoxi in the palace school again."
Rong Chaoxi was so angry that he grimaced.
"Second brother, why don't you speak? Why are you silent?"
Rong Yubai sighed deeply.
"Two days of punishment will be enough. I will send you to school tomorrow."
You reward yourself for two days, that's enough.
Rong Chaoxi's face twisted, "I've memorized all the articles. Can I skip school?"
"Chao Xi, remember that the article is just the basics. You need to understand the meaning..."
"I understand, I understand. If you don't believe me, test me." Rong Chaoxi snorted.
