The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom held Gu Xin in his arms and gently patted her back, his gestures still somewhat clumsy.
His elder sister wrote to him, asking him to raise the little girl as his own daughter, so he decided to give it a try.
He had no daughter, only a son who died young, so he really wanted to raise this little girl, who was related to him by blood, as his own daughter.
Cheng Huaijin turned around, wiped away his tears, and realized he was also missing his sister, wondering if she was alright.
Previously, Cheng Huaijin only thought that the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom could communicate with the Goddess Kingdom, so he never thought of asking the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom to help ask the people of the Goddess Kingdom to find Cheng Huaiyu.
Now that he knows that the people from the Goddess Kingdom who communicate with the Lord of the Flowing Sand Kingdom know the Gu family, he is considering asking Gu Xin to help deliver a message to Cheng Huaiyu.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it, since Gu Xin had ended up in this situation because of him and his sister.
But he was also worried that his sister might do something foolish without knowing his whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, without him even mentioning it, Gu Xin brought up the matter after she finished crying: "Uncle, I still need to write a letter home. This time, could you ask Brother Xiao Jin to write a letter back to Xiao Yu as well? Uncle, I've known Brother Xiao Jin for a long time, and I'm good friends with his sister. Xiao Yu did a lot of foolish things because Brother Xiao Jin disappeared. If she knows about Brother Xiao Jin, maybe she won't do anything foolish anymore."
She and Cheng Huaijin did not initially tell the King of Liusha that they had known each other before, but now that her family had convinced him to trust the King of Liusha, she naturally did.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Father. I was worried that you wouldn't like Xinxin, so I didn't say anything."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom: "Hmph! How could I not like such a cute little girl?"
Gu Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"
Cheng Huaijin: "..."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom told the two to go wash up, change their clothes, and come out for a meal. They could write the letter later. Ali couldn't be a messenger all day; it needed a few days of rest.
...
That evening, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom dined with Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin.
Instead of having the food served separately, he prepared a table full of food for the three of them to eat together.
Gu Xin smiled and started calling him "Uncle" very frequently.
"Ah Hai, how do you plan to write a letter to your sister?" The King of Liusha Kingdom ate very well. The small piece of meat, about the size of a fist, was enough to fill him up. He put down his chopsticks, watched the two children eat, and asked.
"I told my sister that I was still alive, so she could take care of the child without worry. It's okay to suffer a little, just live well, and when I get back, she won't be bullied anymore," Cheng Huaijin sighed and said.
Cheng Huaiyu's godfather is from the Gu family, and Cheng Huaiyu's godmother is from the Peng family. Cheng Huaiyu has hurt them, so Cheng Huaijin has no face to ask Gu Xin for help, nor does she have the face to ask Cheng Huaiyu to ask her godfather and godmother for help.
He only hoped that Cheng Huaiyu could behave herself, stop doing anything, and just take good care of the child and wait for him to come back.
Even if they suffer some injustice, as long as they can stay alive, he will make sure they and their child live well when he returns.
“Brother Jin, Xiaoyu won’t be bullied.” Gu Xin gnawed on a bone, then wiped her mouth and said, “Didn’t I send people to protect her before? The people I sent came back and told me that although Aunt Peng and Uncle Qingyuan were disappointed in her, the Song family really wouldn’t dare to do anything to Xiaoyu for the time being. Of course, that guy surnamed Song is a womanizer and might be playing around outside! I think if Xiaoyu knew that you were still alive, Brother Jin, and that you were doing well, she wouldn’t care about that guy surnamed Song anymore. If she just ignored him, everything would be fine, right?”
