2138 Chapter 2138-similar situation

Gu Xin put down the board in the carriage, laid out a layer of blanket, and put Dong Xue down. She slept in the middle while Zheng Qiu slept beside her.

After tucking Dong Xue in, she turned to Zheng Qiu and whispered, ” “Xiao Qiu, just tell them. Dongxue is asleep. Bai Yi and Bai er are my men. They won’t ask you anything. Besides, Bai Yi was the one who told me about your identity. Brother Yuanyuan told me about it, so there’s nothing to hide.”

Zheng Qiu also turned to face Gu Xin and smiled, ” “That’s true. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed us to be on the same bus at night. I was too nervous.”

Gu Xin smiled as she patted her.

“The king of Dong Lin has really left the court after handing over the Tiger tally,” Zheng Qiu sighed.”That’s why the daughter-in-law he’s chosen for himself doesn’t come from a rich family. His four daughters-in-law were all daughters of wealthy families from the state capital of Thailand. Only his son-in-law’s status is slightly higher, but he is only the son of Jiangnan College’s Mountain elder. When he was young, he was dedicated to the imperial examination. After he was awarded the Tanhua, he did not stay in the court, but returned to Jiangnan college to teach.”

“The eldest son of the king of Dong Lin, the Crown Prince of the king of Dong Lin, died of illness a few years ago. When he was alive, he only liked to study, but he never took the imperial examination. The second and third sons of the king of Donglin, one liked to do business and managed all the properties of the Donglin Palace, while the other was a rich son who did nothing. I don’t know much about the four sons of the king of Dong Lin, so I didn’t get any information. The princess of the Donglin Palace was pampered and her husband is very good, so this princess’s life is smooth. She is a little proud and smart, but she doesn’t know much about the world.”

“As for the grandchildren of the Donglin royal family, the only one who is married is the eldest grandson, Bai Shijie. He has a son with Madam Zheng who is already two years old. The eldest branch also had a daughter, Bai Shiying, who was at marriageable age. It seemed that they had not proposed marriage yet. The second branch of the family had two sons. One was a year younger than Bai Shijie, and the other was the same age as Bai Shiying. Both of them were studying at the Tai Zhou college. The third branch had a pair of twin girls, who should be twelve years old this year, Bai shishuang and Bai Shilu. The fourth branch only had one fifteen-year-old son. The princess has a son and a daughter.”

“As for the princess of Donglin, I heard that the death of her eldest son in the past two years has been a great blow to her. She has been copying scriptures in the temple all year round and doesn’t care about the outside world. She and the king of Dong Lin were a young couple and had experienced so many things. The king of Dong Lin respects her very much and I feel that she won’t stop Bai Baozhu from finding out the cause of his death.”

Zheng Qiu told Gu Xin all the news he had received.

She had heard this news from the Zheng family. She had people in the residence and she knew the past of everyone in the residence. Even if it was a married daughter, she had asked people to find out about the other party’s family situation.

However, she only knew the surface of the situation and did not know much more.

“Xiao Qiu, you know a lot. It seems that you have done a lot of preparation work! Do you need my help? If I help you, you can get twice the result with half the effort.” Gu Xin took the initiative to help Zheng Qiu.

She also felt that Zheng Qiu was in a similar situation as Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng’s side was fine. At least Lu Xue wasn’t spoiled by her stepmother.

She hated this kind of second wife who pestered the first wife’s children. What was the big deal with a child?
