Gu Xin raised an eyebrow: "So, what conditions does Miss Yin want me to use in exchange for the secrets of Xiao Yu that you know? I don't believe that Miss Yin is so kind as to do these things without considering the reward?"
Yin Yueli pursed her lips, then pressed her handkerchief to her lips and said softly, "Third Miss Gu, I would like to ask you to speak well of me to Eldest Miss Gu. After she marries my cousin, please allow me to be your concubine. I will stay quietly in the inner quarters to be a good wife and mother and will never interfere with their lives. I only ask for a peaceful place to live."
"Ha!" Gu Xin laughed sarcastically. "Don't think I'm young and ignorant. A concubine is just a plaything. Can that be called being a good wife and mother? Miss Yin is the legitimate daughter of an official. Even if she is now living under someone else's roof, she shouldn't be willing to be a concubine, right? What, you want to stay by Brother Peng's side first and then ruin his relationship with my older sister? Do you think I look stupid and easy to fool?"
Yin Yueli's face darkened when she was exposed: "Third Miss Gu, don't think of me as such a bad person. The truly bad person isn't me, but Cheng Huaiyu, whom you've been thinking about all this time. Do you think she hasn't changed even though you've changed in two years? Do you think she's still the same little mute she used to be? She wants to harm you. If you don't help me, I absolutely won't tell you how she plans to harm you."
Gu Xin: "See? You're already trying to sow discord between me and Xiaoyu, and you even say you're not a bad person. If you want to talk, then talk; if not, forget it. I don't have time to waste with you, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Gu Xin left.
Yin Yueli took two steps after him, raising her voice slightly: "Third Miss Gu, I'm telling the truth. Cheng Huaiyu is very cunning; she wants to harm you. If you help me with this, I'll tell you why she wants to harm you and how she plans to do it!"
Gu Xin suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at Yin Yueli: "Miss Yin, thank you for your concern, but I don't want to know. I just wonder if Aunt Yin knows that you're so eager to become Brother Peng's concubine? If you're too embarrassed to say, I'll pass on the message for you."
Yin Yueli cried out anxiously, "No, no..."
Gu Xin interrupted her: "What, you think I fell for your trick? Do you think I'm that stupid? You pretended to be an innocent, pure white flower to make the Peng family dote on you, afraid to say you wanted to be with Brother Peng, to provoke me, to make me say it, then you cried, denied it, and said your reputation was ruined, forcing the Peng family to accept you. Even if it wasn't Brother Peng, the Peng family still has Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, Wulang, Liulang, whatever, right? Heh, I'm not falling for it! Goodbye! What a piece of trash!"
This time, Gu Xin is really gone.
Yin Yueli: "..."
She hadn't expected that Gu Xin had guessed everything she was thinking, but what she said wasn't wrong either!
Damn Gu Xin, fine if you don't believe me, but you'll be killed by Cheng Huaiyu sooner or later!
Yin Yueli walked back angrily, only to step on a smooth, shiny pebble: "Ouch!"
He fell flat on his face.
Does Gu Xin not believe Yin Yueli's words? Actually, she does believe them.
However, she couldn't possibly agree to anything, not even pretending to. A corner of her heart was screaming, "Don't listen! Xiaoyu is still Xiaoyu!"
From the time Yin Yueli arrived until Xiao Yu left, not long had passed. How long had they spent together before Yin Yueli learned Xiao Yu's secret?
Gu Xin understood that after two years, including the experience of fleeing and being separated from her family, Xiao Yu would definitely have changed.
