2104 Really?
Her stepmother’s son was two years younger than her younger brother, but he was well-educated. He was studying at the Imperial College, And when he was twelve years old, he had already passed the imperial examination and become a scholar.
What she wanted to do was to find out the cause of her mother’s death and the cause of her brother’s injury. Then, she would save her brother. She could not let him continue like this.
These words had been hidden in Zheng Qiu’s heart for years.
Only her late adoptive father knew what she was thinking. It had been a few years, and now someone else knew. She felt much better after saying it.
Gu Xin patted Zheng Qiu’s back. your brother is in the Royal Academy. Don’t worry. I’ll get my father to keep an eye on her. No brat can continue to be a brat under my father’s command. My cousin is my uncle’s son and the princess of the goddess Kingdom. They’re very brutal in the Royal Academy. I’ll ask them to take care of your brother. I’ll definitely nurture his temper.”
All the heirs of the aristocratic families in the capital had to attend the Royal Academy if they did not study well. Zheng Qiu’s brother must be there.
“Thank you, third miss,” Zheng Qiu expressed his gratitude.
Gu Xin waved her hand. we’re all friends now. You can call me Xinxin like my other friends. Besides, it’s very miserable to be taken care of by my father and my family’s ninren Mingyue. You don’t need to thank me. ”
alright, ” Zheng Qiu said with a smile. Xinxin.
As the two talked, the sky turned dark. Not long after the sky turned dark, Dongxue came with a big food box.
“Third young lady, old Furen and old master asked this servant to bring you some food. They were worried that third miss was busy and did not eat, so they let this servant come. Third young lady, quickly eat, it won’t be good if it gets cold.” Dong Xue said while setting the table.
“Thank you, Dongxue!” Gu Xin asked Zheng Qiu to join them. Both of them had huge appetites. After eating some snacks, drinking tea, and chatting for so long, they were really hungry.
Since he was already Gu Xin’s friend, Zheng Qiu did not bother to be as polite as before. He picked up his chopsticks and bowl and started eating as well.
“This bowl is the strawberries that first master just picked from the manor today. There is a basket in total and some were sent to the palace to give to eldest miss and second miss. First master specially instructed this servant that third young lady must eat the first batch of strawberries. They are especially delicious.” Dong Xue took out a glass bowl full of strawberries and explained.
“Aiya, the strawberries are all ripe!” Gu Xin quickly ate one, ” uncle didn’t even tell me that he was going to pick strawberries today. But I don’t have time to go even if you tell me!”
Gu Xin fed Zheng Qiu another one.
Zheng Qiu had never eaten a strawberry before, so it was really delicious.
Gu Xin fed her another one,’Xiao Qiu, I’ll take you out to play after this case is over! Let’s go to my family’s farm, the strawberry farm. Let’s go pick some strawberries. There’s a flower farmer next to the strawberry farm. I’m telling you, my family has a lot of different types of flowers.”
Zheng Qiu smiled as she listened to Gu Xin talk about strawberries, flowers, and fruits that she had never heard of or eaten before. She was a little envious of Gu Xin. The Gu family was really good.
The two ate and saw Dongxue off. While they were strolling around the Yamen, the people who had gone to investigate had returned.
However, the people who investigated did not manage to find out more information. The information they obtained was exactly the same as what ye cuiru had said. They could not prove that ye cuiru was lying.
Could it be that ye cuiru was telling the truth?
