Hearing Gu Xin say this, Madam Liu felt relieved. She said goodbye to Gu Xin and then left to talk to her sisters and nieces about the matter.
Not long after Madam Liu left, Fatty Wang arrived.
"Aren't you busy anymore?" Gu Xin felt even more relieved to see that he was in good spirits and didn't look tired.
“Sit down and rest. If you’re bored here all by yourself, you can go and wander around the city. I can have someone accompany you,” said Fatty Wang.
"No need." Gu Xin shook her head. "Yuan Yuan and Xiao Qiu will probably be here in the next day or two, and I don't want to go shopping."
“Actually…” Fatty Wang paused, unsure of what to say.
"Don't worry, I'm not watching over you because I'm afraid you'll do something rash. Anyway, I have nothing to do back in Beijing, and they all have things to do back home. Besides, from the day you started working for me, I said you're my person, and your business is my business. Since I don't have any other important business, it's only natural that I should stay here. You don't need to think so much; we're all friends," Gu Xin said, knowing what he was thinking.
"Mm." Fatty Wang looked at Gu Xin and nodded solemnly.
"Have something to eat and a glass of water! You finally have some free time. Even though you've been working out in Beijing, you're not made of iron. When you can rest, sit down and relax," Gu Xin said again.
"I understand." Fatty Wang felt a pang of sadness.
He longed to rest, and he longed to sleep, but every time he closed his eyes, he saw the tragic deaths of his family members, and he couldn't bear it.
While he was awake and busy with funeral arrangements, he was able to distract himself and not think about so much.
Suddenly, silence fell between the two of them.
Gu Xin didn't find the atmosphere strange at all. She sat patiently, just keeping Wang Pangzi company.
"Third Miss, that mother and child will be executed, right?" After a moment of silence, Fatty Wang asked.
"Yes. The person has already been taken to the Dali Temple. After the imperial examinations are over, he will be beheaded along with the rest of the group executed this year," Gu Xin said.
"And that silly girl?" Fatty Wang asked again.
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
She didn't understand why Fatty Wang was asking about the silly girl. Logically speaking, the silly girl had nothing to do with this case, and in Fatty Wang's current state, he shouldn't be paying attention to unimportant people. Even in the past, he would only gossip.
"I just felt that silly girl looked familiar," Fatty Wang explained, noticing Gu Xin's confusion.
"You think he looks familiar too?" Gu Xin was genuinely surprised this time.
"Does the Third Sister also find him familiar?" Fatty Wang asked, puzzled.
“No, no, no, it wasn’t me. It was Brother Yuan who thought the silly girl looked familiar. I showed her the picture, and she really is silly; she’s not pretending. Besides, I’ve had people from the government office go to her village to ask around these past two days, and I’ve also asked people from the manor who went to the estate with her and recognized her. They can confirm that she really is silly. It’s not that she’s stupid, but her memories are stuck in childhood, and she doesn’t learn anything new like a child does as she grows older,” Gu Xin said.
"Who does General Lu think she resembles?" Fatty Wang asked.
“He couldn’t quite place her right now, but she looked very familiar,” Gu Xin said. Then she asked, “What about you? Who do you think she resembles?”
“She looks like my aunt.” Fatty Wang pursed his lips, making no attempt to hide it.
