He felt that Gu Xin did the right thing. His daughter Yan Yan was a delicate and sensitive girl who had been well protected by her parents when she was young. She probably wouldn't be able to accept something like this for a while.
However, ten years have passed, and the little girl should have grown up. There are some things she has to face. But how can we minimize the impact on her?
"Third Miss, have you told Yan Yan about her mother?" Master Shu asked.
"I told you," Gu Xin said.
“Then she…” Master Shu became nervous.
“She cried herself to sleep yesterday. Everyone has to go through birth, aging, sickness, and death, regardless of age, and we all have to learn to accept it. If she hadn’t injured her head, I probably would have told her about the Zhang family yesterday,” Gu Xin said.
She has also experienced loss, and she understands that kind of heartache and pain.
“The Third Miss is right.” Master Shu nodded, then sighed, “Will the Zhang mother and son be executed after they go to the capital?”
"It might be at the end of September. Or it might be at the beginning of October. After the provincial examination, there's the palace examination, and we don't know how it's arranged yet." Gu Xin didn't seem to care about that.
However, most of the beheadings usually take place at the end of September each year, but it's uncertain if it's a year for the imperial examinations.
"I understand. After all, they raised Yan Yan for ten years. Before they are executed, I will take Yan Yan to thank them in person. It is true that they killed Yan Yan's aunt and uncle's family, and that they saved Yan Yan and cared for her for ten years. Their kindness to Yan Yan cannot be erased just because they killed people. At the very least, Yan Yan should know how to be grateful. If Yan Yan had been picked up by some other ill-intentioned person, I don't even want to think about the consequences." Master Shu made up his mind.
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.
The phrase "clear distinction between gratitude and resentment" popped into her mind.
To be honest, she felt that if Zhang Liushi hadn't been so extreme and hadn't influenced Zhang Huzi to be so extreme, the future of the mother and son might have been much better.
But what ifs are there in this world?
Therefore, when doing something, it's best to calm down and think about the consequences. Sometimes, it's not necessary to do something, and sometimes, it's better not to act rashly before finding out the truth.
Observing more, listening more, analyzing more, and verifying more will help you avoid many tragedies that happen to others, and also help you avoid your own.
After composing himself, Master Shu asked Gu Xin to lead him into the inn.
Shu Yan was already asleep, and Dong Xue opened the door very quietly.
Upon seeing Gu Xin and Master Shu, Dongxue whispered, "Third Miss, Miss Shu had a headache earlier, so I fed her the water you left. She's fast asleep now."
Gu Xin nodded.
The two followed Dongxue into the house. Master Shu couldn't wait to come to the inner room. When he saw the person lying on the bed, his eyes immediately reddened.
Even though the person in front of him was asleep, and even though she had changed slightly over the past ten years, Master Shu still recognized her as his daughter at a glance.
He really looks a lot like his wife when she was young. I wouldn't say they were cut from the same mold, but they are about 80% similar.
His eyebrows, eyes, face shape, and even the slight furrowing of his brows after sleeping looked exactly like his wife's sleeping posture.
"Yan Yan..." Master Shu couldn't help but call out, and tears fell down his face.
