"Then let me ask you again, do your eldest sister, second sister, and younger sister Sisi all know that Xiaoqiu is a girl? Do all the brothers and sisters in the family, except for me, know that Xiaoqiu is a girl?" Gu En asked in a different direction.
“The four young ladies know, the Sixth Young Master and Princess Mingyue know, well, the Seventh Young Master and the others don’t. Miss Xue’er knows, well, Prince Ahai knows. As for the others, I don’t know.” The man in white thought for a moment and then added, “Oh right, Young Master Wang probably doesn’t know.”
"If Lao Wang finds out, I'll be furious. Good heavens, Renren and Mingyue know, but I don't? Why did they keep it from me?" Gu En didn't know how to express her feelings at this moment; it was just extremely terrible.
"I don't know about that," Bai Er sighed.
"Fine, I know now anyway." Gu En poured himself a glass of wine, downed it in one gulp in frustration, and then asked, "What is Xiao Qiu's relationship with the Yong'an Marquis's mansion?"
“Miss Zheng is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yong’an, the daughter of the late Marquis of Yong’an’s wife, and the sibling of the eldest and seventh sons of the Marquis of Yong’an’s family. In their early years…” Bai Er told Gu En everything he knew.
At first, Gu En thought it was too much to keep such a big thing from him, but after hearing the rest, he felt sorry for Zheng Qiu.
He's even worse off than his future brother-in-law.
His soon-to-be third brother-in-law, Lu Zheng, is a man, and he has his maternal grandparents to love him and his ancestral home to visit. His Xiao Qiu, on the other hand, was sold to such a faraway place by a wicked woman. At such a young age, she had to live with her adoptive father, who was a coroner, and had to face the dead every day.
Gu En was extremely distressed.
He didn't even have time to be angry; he was just thinking about whether to take a knife and go to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion to chop down those who had harmed Xiao Qiu.
"So, Xiao Qiu often visits Third Sister to treat her brother's leg ailment?" Gu En asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes. The eldest son of the Zheng family has recovered from his leg ailment and now needs to rest. In six months at most, he will be able to walk normally, and there will be no problem for him to get married and have children," Bai Er said.
"That's good." Gu En nodded. Now that Xiao Qiu's beloved brother was well, she would have fewer worries. He then asked, "What are Xiao Qiu's plans for the others in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion? Will Third Sister help?"
Bai Er told Gu En what he knew.
Gu Xin helped with things Zheng Qiu brought up, but she didn't interfere with things Zheng Qiu didn't bring up and said she wanted to do them herself.
Bai Er was also reminding Gu En not to do anything rashly, as it would disrupt Zheng Qiu's plans.
Gu En understood Bai Er's meaning, nodded, and said nothing.
Just then, the two bowls of noodles he ordered were cooked, and the owner brought them over on a tray.
"Esteemed guests, these are mooncakes baked by my granddaughter. Tonight is a night of reunion, and we are all brothers from all corners of the world. It is a pleasure to gather here. Please enjoy my granddaughter's cooking for free and have a good time together." The owner brought out not only noodles but also two small mooncakes, much smaller than those sold outside.
Naturally, it's smaller than the ones outside, since it's a free gift. If it were the same size as the mooncakes outside, wouldn't they be losing money?
No one will mind the size of the mooncakes; on the contrary, they will feel even more fond of this warm and welcoming stall.
