Of course, he still hoped that Gu Mingzhu was Xiaoyu's next life.
And so, the four of them walked all the way to Du Sanniang's residence.
Du Sanniang lived in the south of the city, not far from the embassy. This was the first time Gu Xin and the others had visited Du Sanniang's home.
The Du family was already quite wealthy. When Du San Niang got married, her dowry was also quite substantial. After the divorce, Du San Niang left with her dowry, and the money earned from the estates and shops included in her dowry made her very well-off.
She didn't even have to pay for the house herself; it was part of her dowry when she got married.
The three-courtyard house had been looked after by an old servant for the past few years, but recently she moved in, and the house has become more lively.
The butler at the door saw the group and went to greet them, then led them into the hall.
"Mr. Du, you're still up so late, I'm so sorry to bother you!" Gu Xin said sincerely.
"Third Miss is too kind. I usually sleep quite late at night too. I'll gradually get back to normal when I tidy up the shop in a while. Third Miss, Fifth Miss, General Lu, Prince Ahai, you must all be hungry. I've already had someone prepare a midnight snack." Du San Niang pulled Gu Xin and Gu Si to sit down at the table, not forgetting to greet Lu Zheng and Cheng Huaijin as well.
"Let's wait for Baiyi together. Yuanyuan said Baiyi should be here soon," Gu Xin said.
“Alright.” Du San Niang nodded, then said, “Young Master Bai has been coming over to freeload meals a lot lately. He even said he doesn’t want to go back to the Gu family anymore and bought the courtyard next to mine to move in, but he spends all his time sleeping in the big tree in my yard. Third Miss, what do you think is wrong with Young Master Bai?”
Gu Xin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Du San Niang to be so direct.
That's what she didn't understand: married women and unmarried girls really are quite different.
Moreover, Du Sanniang was different from ordinary women. Otherwise, she would not have resolutely divorced her husband after he took a concubine and expressed his eternal respect and love for her, and after her husband's family said all the right things.
She is intolerant of any flaws; love is love, and not loving is not loving. She is unwilling to share her love with others, but she will openly and honestly express her love.
She didn't think being liked or pursued by others was shameful or embarrassing.
Therefore, she was able to openly recount everything that Bai Yi had done.
It's not that I don't understand, I just hope Gu Xin can persuade me. After all, you sleep in a big tree every day, especially in this season when there are many mosquitoes. Aren't you afraid of being bitten or uncomfortable while sleeping?
"Boss Du, don't you know Baiyi's problem? He's lovesick. He can't sleep unless he's close to you. He's worried that you might get kidnapped." Lu Zheng laughed.
"Really? I thought Young Master Bai had some kind of problem, and I was thinking of asking Third Miss to persuade him! Since it's lovesickness, there's nothing that can be done. After all, it's not me who will suffer, so I won't meddle in this." Du San Niang said calmly.
Gu Si: "..."
This woman speaks so frankly!
Gu Xin silently lit a candle for Bai Yi in her heart. The road ahead is long and arduous, Bai Yi, you must continue to work hard!
Cheng Huaijin wasn't familiar with Du Sanniang, so he didn't pay much attention to her and just sat there drinking tea.
Soon, another maid brought up some snacks. These snacks were quite exquisite, and Gu Xin wanted to eat them as soon as she saw them.
