Chapter 73: Emotional Scene
Gu Rongyu scolded Qingnan, then took Chang Xixi's hand. This action was so natural that even Chang Xixi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She really enjoyed it.
While everyone was talking, a maid came forward, took one look at Chang Xixi and burst into tears. She coaxed her eyes and said, "Miss, please come this way."
"Why are you crying?"
"Miss, you don't remember me. I'm Xiaohong! I served you for ten years, but you left without taking me. If you had begged the lady at that time, I would have followed you... But you've been gone for a year, and there's no news from you. Do you know how much I missed you?"
etc!
Chang Xixi touched her head. This person was... the maid who served Chang Xixi in the Zhou family. She had always been by her side! How loyal this girl was!
No wonder she burst into tears. She reached out and rubbed her head, embarrassed to say it was because the eldest lady didn't even give her time to say goodbye. "Life is very hard in the countryside. I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it there. It's better to stay here. At least you won't have to worry about food and clothing. I just don't know if you're suffering here."
"No." As they walked, they complained, and finally arrived at the courtyard. It wasn't as dilapidated as Chang Xixi had imagined, just a little off to the side and a little smaller. It was habitable, but the Zhou family's courtyard was not habitable.
When they arrived at the place, Xiaohong also replied to report.
Chang Xixi was unhappy when she saw her leave. This child was too loyal and honest. If she stayed in this deep courtyard, she would definitely be bullied.
It seems that she has to find an opportunity to get the person back.
Having occupied someone's body, I must repay their love, so as not to let Chang Xixi down. This body seemed to feel Chang Xixi's thoughts of occupying her body, and tears filled her eyes with excitement. She said thank you in her mind without realizing it.
This sentence made Chang Xixi startled! Is Chang Xixi still alive?
She's not sure!
But I didn’t dare to think too much about it.
Gu Rongyu noticed her strangeness, "My dear, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you crying? Is it that girl from before? I'll ask Qingnan to find someone, and you two can sit together and have a good chat, okay? That way you won't be sad anymore."
This was a real worry! He was afraid that Chang Xixi would be reminded of the past because she had lived a carefree life here and suddenly became the child of a village woman.
No matter who you are, there will be a gap in your heart, and this gap will make you collapse.
Gu Rongyu was worried that she would collapse. After all, she had lived in this mansion for more than a decade, leading a life of luxury. The change was too great. Many people would commit suicide because of such a change, and she had attempted suicide before.
He has investigated all these matters thoroughly, and I'm afraid...
Chang Xixi smiled through her tears, "It's okay. This little thing isn't enough to make me commit suicide. I'm just afraid Zhou Zhiwei won't let me go so easily. Because my existence is a shame to her. This shame will follow her for the rest of her life."
"As long as I'm not dead! I'm her weak spot, someone will poke me in the back. Besides, she's not as pretty as me. That's why there are more rumors. And these aristocratic families believe these kinds of rumors the most. She must want to kill me."
She calmly analyzed the situation as she pushed open the door and walked in. How could the furnishings in this room be exactly the same as when she lived there before? The curtains... the beaded curtains, the dressing table. And even her favorite pastel-colored vase. Every single thing was exactly what she loved.
It's the eldest lady! She has never forgotten me!
The tears flowed down like they were free.
Gu Rongyu was standing behind her. Seeing that she was about to collapse, he waved his hand and asked everyone following him to step back.
After everyone left, he closed the door, hugged Chang Xixi from behind, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here now. Does this thing look familiar to you?" Before coming, Gu Rongyu had already sent people to investigate. Master Zhou and the eldest lady were really good to her.
It was also to protect her safety, or because of other things, I couldn't find her!
Thinking that the matter had been settled, they sent someone to take her back to the Zhou family. Bringing her back would just mean one more person to feed, which wouldn't be a big deal. The couple had raised their child for so long, and now she had become someone else's child. It was hard to believe.
It was normal that they couldn't accept it at first, so they got this house.
Zhou Zhiwei definitely didn't know about this. If she knew, she would be jealous to death. Why would she let Chang Xixi live here? It was just a coincidence.
Chang Xixi turned around, crawled into Gu Rongyu's arms and burst into tears.
"I, I've been feeling resentful because my wife and father didn't want me anymore. I didn't expect that they still had me in their hearts... When I saw this house, I knew that my mother was thinking of me. I thought I was abandoned, but no, they didn't abandon me. This... this is enough."
At this moment, it was the original owner who was speaking, not Chang Xixi.
Gu Rongyu also discovered this. The Chang Xixi he met never showed such a fragile expression. In her opinion, she was the only one being bullied, not others bullying her.
Even when facing the Dou family, he was just more grateful and responsible. As for feelings... Gu Rongyu had never seen them in Chang Xixi's eyes. Maybe if she had some tenderness towards him, she had to have some sincerity. In her eyes, he might not be as important as making money.
After a while, Chang Xixi cried enough, her eyes were red, and she moved away from Gu Rongyu's arms embarrassedly.
"What did you say just now? You are so shameless. What can you do sitting here, a gigolo. Why don't you go and take the imperial examinations for me as soon as possible, so that I can be a first-rank lady with peace of mind. Then I can stir up trouble with you in the capital." Chang Xixi said, wiping her nose.
Gu Rongyu didn't dislike her at all. She cried so hard that her nose was exposed, so he took out the silk handkerchief from his arms and gave it to her.
Chang Xixi was not polite at all. She wiped it sparsely and threw the handkerchief back. "Who cares? But, this lady is really so good to me, why doesn't she come to me?"
She thought again of the personal belongings she brought back, each of which could last for at least half a month, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
That is, the Zhou Mansion was probably not a safe place to live. And I, being here without a name or status, was really dangerous. It would be better if the real Zhou Zhiwei came back, at least he would be a real member of the Zhou family.
