Chapter 2193: Joking

After a while, Bai Er also came up.

His request was simpler than Bai Yi's. As long as she was a woman, alive, and willing to marry him, that was enough.

Gu Xin thought that this time when she went back, she really had to do this for Bai Yi and his ten brothers.

When she first met them, the brothers were all grown up and had reached the age of marriage. Now she has grown up, and these guys should be old. If they don't find a wife, they will not be able to find one.

Bai Yi and his friends didn't know Gu Xin's thoughts. If they knew, they would definitely refute it. How come you are old when you grow up? When we first met, we were not old either.

The four of them sat on the roof, talking about life events, and talked about the arrangements for the next few days for a while, and then went down to rest.

…

On May 19, the Donglin Palace officially split up, and the princess invited Gu Xin to be a witness.

The Bai family of the Donglin Palace was originally from Yunzhou, but after several decades, the Donglin King had moved all the ancestral tombs here. He didn't have many elders, unlike those big families, so no relatives participated in the branch of the palace.

This time, only Dongxue, the personal maid, went with him. After all, this was someone else's family affair. It was not good to bring the coroner from the government office and the guards.

Dongxue was still muttering on the way: "Miss San, I have never been on the roof!"

She envied Zheng Qiu very much. She could be taken to the roof to play without knowing kung fu, but she knew her identity. Although the coroner was a lowly person, Miss Zheng was very capable and seemed to have a good status, so she was very self-aware.

But at this moment, she remembered what she said last night when she heard Gu Xin call Bai Er up, and she didn't know why, so she said it.

Gu Xin smiled and said, "You should have said it earlier! If there are many stars tonight, I will take you up there too! You can often accompany me everywhere, I have to coax you, otherwise, you don't want to go with me, what should I do?"

Dongxue blushed: "Miss San, you are always teasing me!"

Gu Xin looked at Dongxue's shy appearance and thought that this girl was pretty good. She was moved and asked, "Dongxue, I remember you are more than a year younger than me. You are only sixteen this year, right?"

Gu Xin's maids were all checked by Grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian. After getting along for a long time in the past few months, she felt that the four maids in her room were all okay, but Dongxue often went in and out with her, so she felt better about Dongxue.

Dongxue nodded: "I was born in July, one and a half years younger than the third lady."

Gu Xin asked again: "Are there other people in your family?"

Dongxue was stunned, then shook her head: "When I was born, my mother had a difficult delivery. Later, because I was a girl, my father remarried a stepmother, and my stepmother gave birth to a son. When I was nine years old, my stepmother's son beat the son of the village head in the same village and injured him seriously. My family was driven out of the village. On the way back to my stepmother's mother's house, my stepmother and grandmother decided to sell me. They sold me with a death contract, so I have no family."

Dongxue was not sold immediately because she was good-looking and smart. Instead, the pawnbroker raised her for a few years. She was originally going to sell her to a brothel, but she was spotted by Cai Xiaolian when she was buying people last year.

Cai Xiaolian may have thought of the tragic experience of the heroine in the book. She bought her back and observed her for a while before finally deciding to use her for Gu Xin.
