Gu Xin looked over and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, come in quickly. Tell me, how can I help Xiaoyu?"
Lu Zheng: I'm so jealous of Cheng Huaiyu, she's always being thought about by Xiao Xinxin.
He put away the doll, went inside, pulled up a stool, and sat down next to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin simply showed him the letter.
Lu Zheng was speechless. He remembered that Cheng Huaiyu was not this stupid. How could she trust someone so much?
After he finished reading, Gu Xin tugged at his sleeve and shook it: "Brother Yuanyuan, what should we do? After Aunt Peng and the others came to Linzhou to take up their posts, Xiaoyu will have no relatives there. That guy surnamed Song is so mean, what if she gets bullied?"
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly: "Xin Xin, let me ask you a question! If I give you a person or a gift, would you be willing to give it to someone else?"
Gu Xin shook her head without hesitation, and before Lu Zheng could be happy, Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "That's right, I can have Bai Shi protect Xiao Yu over there!"
Lu Zheng was annoyed: "I gave it to you, and you're going to share it with her?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "Brother Yuanyuan, I don't mean to give Bai Shi to her. I just want Bai Shi to look after the shop over there and keep an eye on her, so I can lend a hand if she needs anything. I've decided, I want to open the shop in Jiangnan."
Lu Zheng: "..."
Gu Xin sighed: "But there's something I don't understand. Why did Xiao Yu still want to marry that young master Song even after Aunt Peng and the others showed her how wicked he was? Is it because she's pregnant?"
Lu Zheng tapped her on the head and said, "That's not entirely true. Besides that reason, it's also because she wants to find her brother as soon as possible. She was already thirteen years old when Aunt Peng Wu rescued her. She remembers everything. When she came to the Peng family, no matter how good the Peng family was to her, she felt like she couldn't fit in. Aunt Peng Wu got married again, and she wanted to find her brother even more."
Gu Xin frowned.
Lu Zheng continued, “Miss Cheng has been well protected by her parents since childhood and has never suffered. Even so, the person who treats her best is her twin brother. When she heard that it was possible to find her brother, even though everyone said it was false, she still held onto hope. Xin Xin, she is different from you sisters. She is sensitive, fragile, and even prone to overthinking. She understands that what others say is for her own good, but she still wants to grasp at that sliver of hope. Miss Cheng is two years older than you, sixteen this year. She is a grown woman and must take responsibility for the choices she has made. Xin Xin, you can help her for a while, but you can't help her forever. Many times, what she needs is to wake up on her own.”
Gu Xin blinked her big eyes at Lu Zheng: "But Brother Yuanyuan, I want Xiaoyu to be doing well. She was the first friend I made after I was born, and I want her to be doing well."
Lu Zheng held Gu Xin's hand: "No one wants her to suffer. You've already done so much that you weren't required to do, and you can do it with a clear conscience. Her life shouldn't be your responsibility, and you don't need to add to your own troubles. I know you want Xiao Yu to be happy. Since I arrived in Kunzhou, I've sent people to search for Cheng Huaijin in the four neighboring countries. Similarly, the Peng family also likes Miss Cheng and is willing to help her find her brother. In the five neighboring countries, except for the Goddess Kingdom, people have been searching for her."
Lu Zheng paused for a moment: "Miss Cheng is willing to sacrifice herself to find her brother, that's her choice. She's willing to fall out with Aunt Peng, who is like a mother to her, to find her brother, that's also her choice. Xin Xin, I will support whatever you do, but you must remember not to let other people's choices bother you. I hope you will always be happy."
