Xie Zhiyi settled in the Peng family home, and Madam Peng helped her prepare all the necessities for her new house.
On the morning of her third day, she ran over to find Gu Xin and Gu Si to play.
Gu Xin was making pills in the laboratory in the mansion, while Gu Si was busy with other things, but they were both in the same room.
As soon as Xie Zhiyi arrived, she started gossiping with them: "Xinxin, Sisi, guess what Yin Yueli did to me?"
Gu Xin and Gu Si stopped what they were doing and looked at her curiously.
Xie Zhiyi walked over to Gu Xin and said, "Don't stop! Is there anything I can help with? Let's talk about it as we work!"
Gu Xin then assigned Xie Zhiyi the task of grinding the medicinal herbs into powder.
Xie Zhiyi knew a bit of martial arts and wasn't as weak as typical young ladies from wealthy families. She rolled up her sleeves and started gossiping while grinding medicinal herbs: "Hahaha, Yin Yueli probably doesn't know we knew each other before. She was talking about you guys behind my back! She even warned me not to get close to you, saying you're fierce and will hit people. A normal young lady wouldn't stoop to associating with you!"
Gu Xin: "...I knew she wasn't a good person."
Gu Si: "So what did you say to her?"
Xie Zhiyi whistled loudly: "Hey, back then, it was just the two of us, the maids weren't around. I asked her, 'How fierce are the Gu sisters? Is it like this?' I deliberately bumped into her and knocked her over. Then I asked her, 'What's a normal young lady like? Is it like me?' I deliberately picked up a stool and pretended to hit her. She screamed in fright! Hahaha, I was wondering, why wasn't she crying? Why was she screaming? Not a single tear!"
Gu Xin and Gu Si both laughed. Serves her right for spreading rumors. Where were they fierce? They were clearly very cute girls!
Gu Xin asked again, "Then she didn't complain? She loves to complain! She also likes to twist things to make people feel sorry for her and misunderstand."
Xie Zhiyi smiled mysteriously: "Guess what happened after she screamed?"
Gu Xin and Gu Si asked the question in a very cooperative manner.
Xie Zhiyi said, "After she screamed, I sat down on the ground, put the stool on my lap, leaned against the table, and used the chili water I had prepared beforehand to wipe my eyes. The maid rushed in, and then my fourth aunt also came."
"She cried and complained, saying I hit her!"
“I cried and I complained. I also said that she pushed me and kicked a stool at me!”
"Tears streamed down her face, and so did mine! My eyes were red from the chili water. My fourth aunt didn't know what to do. She asked Yin Yueli why I hit her. Yin Yueli didn't dare to speak ill of us in front of others, so she said it was because we disagreed. I cried and cursed at her, saying I'm not a spoiled or willful person. My father may be a prefect, but a prefect is only a small official. I wouldn't dare to be arrogant! She was the one who warned me not to get close to the Gu family girls, but I didn't listen. I said the Gu family girls are all as beautiful as fairies, as lovely as little fairies. I said she was talking nonsense, and then she hit me!"
"Hahahaha, Xinxin, Sisi, you didn't see how Yin Yueli looked. She looked like she had swallowed a fly. In the end, she cried herself unconscious."
"My fourth aunt comforted me, telling me not to worry, saying that Miss Yin would faint from sadness and grief once a month, and that she would be fine once she woke up! I almost couldn't help but laugh. My fourth aunt is so funny!"
