After passing through the city gate, Gu Xin remembered that the Xie family now had a Jin Yingying, so she mentioned it to Madam Xie.
Madam Xie learned of the girl's existence through correspondence with Xie Zhiyi, but she didn't mind.
Her son had been a scoundrel for so many years, but now that he's in the army, he's actually doing good deeds. She wouldn't mind if he saved a few more people.
When he got home, he happened to see Jin Yingying coming out with some things and closing the door.
"Yingying, did you forget something?" Gu Xin jumped out of the car and saw Jin Yingying locking the door, so she called out to her.
"Hmm, look at how forgetful I am, I almost got scolded by Sister Yumei!" Jin Yingying said embarrassedly.
She is a little older than Gu Xin and has been working with Sun Yumei in the embroidery workshop recently. She has also become familiar with the Gu family's daughters and is much more cheerful than she was at the beginning.
"Sister Yumei may look fierce, but she's kind-hearted!" Gu Xin said with a smile, then pulled her to the carriage. "Yingying, this is Yiyi's mother."
Jin Yingying immediately tensed up and quickly bowed to Madam Peng: "This humble girl, Jin Yingying, greets Madam Xie."
Madam Peng gently pulled her along, saying, "No need for such formalities. Just call me Aunt Peng from now on. My dear child, do you have something to do? If you do, go ahead and take care of it. When you come back tonight, we can get to know each other better."
Jin Yingying nodded shyly, "Okay, Aunt Peng, I'll go now. I'll go get back to work tonight and bring back some food from the restaurant."
Madam Peng shook her head: "No need, I've brought someone to cook. From now on, you and Zhiyi can go home for meals in the morning, noon, and evening. Go on!"
Xie Zhiyi and Jin Yingying lived in this courtyard. Madam Peng had originally wanted to choose two maids for Xie Zhiyi, but Xie Zhiyi went to the Gu family's house to freeload every day, and Jin Yingying ate at the embroidery workshop every day. When she came home to wash up, she always lit the fire herself, and the house had never been lit.
Peng learned of these things in the letter and specially brought a cook from Yuzhou with her.
Hearing about her own home, Jin Yingying was deeply moved. Urged by Peng Shi and Gu Xin, she went to work in the embroidery workshop with teary eyes.
"This girl has such a hard life, but she looks like a good child!" Peng said to Gu Xin after entering the house.
"Isn't she unlucky? She even got robbed! But it wasn't anything good anyway, so what if she got robbed? She'll probably meet someone better in the future," Gu Xin couldn't help but mutter.
Madam Peng didn't ask any further questions, assuming that Gu Xin was referring to the fact that Jin Yingying's family's land had been seized by her uncles.
Little did they know that this girl was the Third Prince's savior.
A short while later, Xie Zhiyi returned. Seeing that the mother and daughter were reunited, Gu Xin naturally didn't want to disturb them any longer and took her leave.
Xie Zhiyi was found by Bai Er, and now Bai Er is following Gu Xin not far away.
In the two years since arriving in Kuncheng, except for the trip to the Goddess Kingdom, Bai Er has been secretly protecting Gu Xin.
She could now perfectly sense whether Bai Er was there or not.
She slowly walked out of the city again.
This time, she encountered someone again, but this time it was someone leaving the city. Madam Peng personally escorted Yin Yueli to the outside of the city.
Gu Xin only greeted Madam Peng politely before leaving, without asking any questions about Yin Yueli.
Watching Gu Xin's retreating figure, Madam Peng sighed inwardly.
If only her brother’s only daughter could be half as good as the Gu family girls, she would be able to protect herself in the future if she couldn’t even endure the slightest hardship!
