"Second Uncle, is it really Xin Xin? Could it be that Xin Xin went to the Goddess Kingdom? Then why didn't she come back directly and instead wrote a letter? Could it be that she was injured?" Peng Silang asked anxiously when he saw that Gu Shouxin hadn't read the letter and was sitting there without saying anything.
"You're the one who's injured!" Gu Shouxin glared at Peng Silang.
"..." Peng Silang said, feeling wronged, "Is that Xinxin?"
"Yes. Alright, you can go back now. I have something to take care of!" Gu Shouxin nodded and told him to go back.
Peng Silang also knew that the Gu family no longer wanted to associate with the Peng family.
Xin Xin's accident was Lao Liu's idea, carried out by his cousin, and also by Peng's personal guards.
However, seeing Gu Shouxin's condition, Peng Silang guessed that Gu Xin was probably alright, so he went back to tell his family.
Ever since Xinxin's accident, their grandfather has been utterly cold to his mother and him.
Peng Silang and Peng Ze were brothers, born to Madam Peng. He felt even more guilty than Peng Erlang and the others.
In the backyard, Cai Xiaolian was doing accounts, while the maids stood guard at the door, not daring to utter a sound.
Gu Shouxin walked in, and Cai Xiaolian didn't even look up.
"Xiao Lian, Xin Xin has written a letter," Gu Shouxin said as he walked to the desk.
Cai Xiaolian paused, her hand moving the abacus, and suddenly looked up.
Gu Shouxin handed her the letter.
Cai Xiaolian took the letter with trembling hands. When she read the first word, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
These are Xin Xin's handwriting!
These are Xin Xin's handwritings!
She saw the child practice calligraphy with her own eyes, practicing ten pages every day without fail. This is her little girl's handwriting.
He was kidnapped to the Kingdom of the Sand God, where he wandered alone on the grasslands, saw no sign of human habitation, crossed snow-capped mountains, and traversed deserts.
How much suffering has her little girl endured in the past two months?
Gu Xinxin's letter made it sound simple, but Cai Xiaolian, who knew the vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and deserts, knew all too well that it wasn't as simple as the letter described.
Cheng Huaijin, was it that child who saved Xinxin at the foot of the snow mountain?
After reading it, Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly cause and effect, truly fate!"
The brother and sister were saved because of Gu Xin, then Gu Xin was kidnapped again because of the brother and sister, and finally, Gu Xin was rescued again because of Cheng Huaijin.
After calming herself down, Cai Xiaolian asked, "How did Xinxin manage to send the message back? Wasn't she on the other side of the desert, unable to return?"
Gu Shouxin replied, "It was my cousin who asked Peng Silang to bring it. Apparently, my cousin received the news and traveled day and night. She was exhausted after descending Shennv Mountain, just as Peng Silang was training troops on the other side of the river."
Cai Xiaolian wiped away her tears, picked up the letter, and stood up: "Then hurry up and send someone to bring my cousin back! She's been traveling day and night, from the palace to the foot of Goddess Mountain, it must have taken two days and two nights! She must be exhausted. You send someone to bring my cousin back, I'll go find my parents. Oh, and by the way, tell Huihui and the other sisters to come back, so everyone knows the news."
Gu Shouxin nodded: "Okay!"
With news of his daughter and his wife back to normal, Gu Shouxin felt half the weight lifted from his heart. The other half was waiting for Queen Dugu to arrive and explain how she received the letter. Only after confirming that Xinxin was truly alright could he completely relax.
The couple went their separate ways.
Cai Xiaolian brought the letter to the old couple's room. Grandpa Gu was sitting by the fire, seemingly lost in thought, while Grandma Gu was dozing off. Hearing the noise, Grandma Gu woke up immediately, and Grandpa Gu also looked at Cai Xiaolian.
