Cheng Huaiyu ran over and grabbed Gu Xin, her lips trembling, tears streaming down her face, and she shook her head vigorously.
Gu Xin felt distressed and pried Cheng Huaiyu's hands away.
"Third Miss, stop chasing them! They're just peasants. Why would you want to associate with peasants? Your little cousin will be here in a couple of days. Don't bother with these peasants!" Two maids stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Huaiyu.
Gu Xin, who was initially reluctant to do so, turned and left without looking back after hearing those words.
"Ah! Third Miss, stop hitting her! Stop hitting her!"
Hearing the sound behind her, Gu Xin couldn't help but turn around to look.
The gentle and quiet Xiaoyu in her heart has now become violent because someone said bad things about her.
The quiet Cheng Huaiyu couldn't be quiet anymore; her pretty little face was filled with anger, and the rage in her eyes was something even her twin brother, Cheng Huaijin, had never seen before.
Gu Xin couldn't help but cry. She took out the bamboo tube she usually carried with her from the basket, opened the lid, put five jade beads in, closed the lid again, and ran over to pull Cheng Huaiyu, who was going crazy.
Gu Xin said, "Xiaoyu, don't be angry. Drink some water. This is for you. Don't give it to anyone else. Remember to drink it yourself! I have to go now. My dad has an exam tomorrow, and we need to take care of some things. You should go back with Brother Xiaojin!"
After saying that, he opened the lid and fed it to Cheng Huaiyu.
He prayed silently: Xiaoyu, I hope that after eating so many jade beads and drinking water mixed with five jade beads, you will gradually be able to speak again.
Cheng Huaiyu let Gu Xin feed her, obediently drinking water, her big eyes gazing at Gu Xin.
Gu Nian came over and called to Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, let's go!"
Seeing that the water in the bamboo tube was all gone, Gu Xin put the lid back on and handed it to Cheng Huaiyu: "Xiaoyu, this is for you. Don't get angry with those people, it'll only hurt your health! I hope you get better health in the future, goodbye!"
Gu Xin waved and walked away, led by Gu Nian.
Cheng Huaiyu wanted to chase after them, but Cheng Huaijin came over and stopped her younger sister: "Little sister, don't chase after them. Sister Niannian and Sister Xinxin won't pay attention to us. Let's take it slow, and one day we'll let Sister Niannian and Sister Xinxin know our sincerity."
Cheng Huaiyu looked at her brother with a puzzled expression.
Cheng Huaijin said, "Yes, one day, we will be the same as before, the best friends with Sister Niannian and Sister Xinxin."
Cheng Huaiyu blinked, then suddenly felt a discomfort in her throat. She gestured to her brother to take her back.
Cheng Huaijin glanced at the departing donkey cart, then had his sister ride the horse while he led the horse back home.
As for the two maids who were whispering about the Gu family's identity in Cheng Huaiyu's ear, Cheng Huaijin gave them a single look, which frightened them so much that they dared not approach and could only follow at a distance.
"The second young master is getting more and more terrifying! It hasn't been that long! The second young master's aura looks even more frightening than the eldest young master's!" Maid A whispered to Maid B when the two young masters were far apart.
"It's all because of that Gu Nian! I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else, okay? Didn't the Gu family have a fight with the master, mistress, and eldest son before? That night, the eldest son was beaten so badly he peed his pants. The next day, I accompanied the third young lady to visit the eldest son, but none of his companions were there; only the second young master was in the room. I heard the second young master scolding the eldest son, calling him arrogant and saying he wasn't good enough for the girl, and then saying a lot of nice things about Gu Nian! I think the second young master is the one who's infatuated with Gu Nian; the eldest son is just after the Gu family's toiletries." The maid, Yi, gossiped.
"Huh? That can't be! Gu Nian is two years older than our second young master!" the maid exclaimed in surprise.
"He's only two years older, what's the big deal? Haven't you noticed that no matter when or where the Second Young Master is, as long as Gu Nian is there, the first person he sees is always Gu Nian? His eyes never leave her," said Maid B.
