When they first met, she didn't like Cheng Huaiyu because she thought he was not cheerful, sensitive, and spoiled.
She prefers cheerful, outgoing, and generous girls.
But now she understands that if conditions allowed, who wouldn't want to be a cheerful, sunny, and generous girl?
Gu Yingxue slept in a daze, dreaming all night long. Her dreams were filled with Cheng Huaiyu's injuries and Peng Mu's ugly appearance when he trampled on Cheng Huaiyu.
Cheng Huaiyu, on the other hand, didn't sleep all night. She was thinking about how to successfully send Gu Yingxue out to Peng Jiajun.
She wasn't sure if Xie Nanfeng and the others had gotten into trouble, so she had to think about it more carefully.
If Xie Nanfeng and the others are still safe, then wait for them to appear and hand Gu Yingxue over to them.
If something happens to Xie Nanfeng and the others, she will have to rely on herself.
However, in the entire mansion, there were only two people she could trust: her maid and the steward.
She could only exchange her body for the steward; she had let him succeed before, which was how he secretly rescued Gu Yingxue from the palace.
If Peng Mu discovers anything amiss, the butler will definitely tell him everything.
Her maid, like her, couldn't even leave the mansion.
Cheng Huaiyu felt a chill in her heart; she was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
If it were her, although she longed to reunite with her brother and Yun-ge'er, she wasn't afraid of death; at worst, she would just die. Her brother was doing well and could support Yun-ge'er; she had no one left in this world she couldn't let go of.
But now there is Gu Yingxue.
Gu Yingxue was her adoptive parents' favorite daughter, her younger sister. Even though they were not related by blood, they were adopted by the same couple.
Moreover, the girl is innocent, kind, and pure. She is not yet married or has children, just like she was before her family's misfortune.
She herself would never have a bright life, but she hoped that Gu Yingxue would.
She owed her adoptive parents a debt, so she would never let anything happen to Gu Yingxue.
Cheng Huaiyu, cheer up and protect Xue'er so that she can return to her mother's side unharmed.
...
The next morning, four maids brought medicine to treat Cheng Huaiyu's injuries. Gu Yingxue saw them in the cabinet. Only one of them had a genuine look of heartache for Cheng Huaiyu. The other three had blank expressions, as if they were used to it.
After washing up and getting dressed, Cheng Huaiyu said weakly, "I'm very hungry. Tell the kitchen to prepare something for me."
One of the maids went down to instruct the kitchen, two others cleaned up the mess in the room, and the last one helped Cheng Huaiyu to the desk.
Cheng Huaiyu sat upright and began to practice calligraphy.
The maid started to doze off after reading for a while, so Cheng Huaiyu changed the paper and slowly wrote on it.
After finishing a page, he blew on the ink to dry it, placed it at the bottom, and then continued writing.
Before long, the food was served, and the maid helped Cheng Huaiyu to the table to eat.
"Go ask the kitchen if they have any fish. I want to eat fish for lunch," Cheng Huaiyu instructed the maid after taking a few bites of porridge.
The maid left, leaving only Cheng Huaiyu in the room.
She quickly wrapped dumplings and pastries in a handkerchief, and also put an egg in it, and took it to the wardrobe: "I'll go out with the maid in a little while. Come out and relieve yourself and get some water in about fifteen minutes."
After saying that, she retreated to the table.
