The coachman introduced her to the three Peng siblings. He said that the Gu family had just arrived in Kuncheng when they went to Jiangnan to pick up people, so they were not actually members of the Gu family.
Peng Sanlang said, "Miss Yin, these three are the second, third, and fifth Miss Gu from the county magistrate's family."
Yin Yueli bowed gracefully to the group: "I am new here, and I hope you will all take good care of me in the future."
Out of empathy, Cheng Huaiyu felt that everyone had lost their parents, so she reached out to support Yin Yueli: "Sister Yueli, I heard from my aunt that you are two months older than me, so I'll call you sister. You must be tired from the journey, let's go home."
Yin Yueli covered her mouth and coughed, then nodded and looked at the Gu sisters: "I'm so grateful to you ladies for coming to pick me up. Once I've settled in, I will definitely come to thank you in person. Back when my father was the prefect, I got along very well with the daughters of the county magistrates in the areas he governed, and they would often wait for me at the county gate. I didn't expect it to be the same in Kuncheng. I'm very grateful to you all..."
Peng Sanlang: "!"
That's strange, they're not here to pick you up.
You actually compared the Gu family girl to all those girls who used to fawn over you? You're asking for a beating!
They don't even fawn over my aunt, so why would they fawn over you?
Gu Nian wanted to say something sarcastic, as she couldn't stand these white flowers, but Gu Xin beat her to it: "Miss Yin, we sisters didn't come to pick you up. We were out of town on business and just happened to run into you on our way back. If it weren't for the coincidence, we might have already entered the city. Also, if Miss Yin is coming to my house, could you please change your clothes? Could you please not wear that white flower in your hair? If you're observing mourning for your parents, you can stay home dressed like this, but if you're going to someone else's house, it's really inappropriate to enter their home dressed in mourning."
Yin Yueli was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Xin with some confusion, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks.
They are very, very big.
Yin Yueli: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I was just thinking about the past. I didn't mean to mention that my father was a prefect; I didn't want to show off. Besides, my father is gone, I..."
Peng Sanlang: "Shut up!"
Gu Xin spoke almost simultaneously: "Don't cry! It's like I'm bullying you. I'm just stating the facts. You're being so unreasonable!"
Cheng Huaiyu hugged Yin Yueli and looked at Peng Sanlang and Gu Xin: "Third Brother, Xin Xin, don't say that. Sister Yueli must be missing her father. She wore mourning clothes on the way, which is also a token of her affection. I believe she understands the principle of not wearing mourning clothes when visiting other people's homes."
Gu Xin frowned. Xiao Yu was actually siding with this crybaby?
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow, her gaze towards Cheng Huaiyu somewhat amused. She must have experienced a lot in the past two years. Could she really maintain that innocence from before?
Peng Sanlang glared at Cheng Huaiyu: "Xiaoyu, what do you mean? You actually said that I and Miss Gu are old friends? Didn't you say that you and Miss Gu are old friends and get along well? You're actually speaking up for someone you just met?"
Cheng Huaiyu paused for a moment, then shook her head and explained, "Third Brother, Xin Xin, I didn't say that to you. Really, I just felt that Sister Yue Li..."
"Waaaaah...hiccup..."
Yin Yueli cried herself unconscious, collapsing into Cheng Huaiyu's arms and nearly knocking him over. Luckily, Peng Mu reacted quickly and caught her.
“Miss Gu, Xiaoyu is too soft-hearted. It's a pity that Sister Yueli didn't speak up for you. Please don't be angry,” Peng Mu explained on Cheng Huaiyu's behalf.
