2109 Remembered
“You say that you’re telling the truth every time, and I believe you every time. However, I always find out that I trusted the wrong person in the end. So, I’m sorry, I can’t trust you.” Gu Xin sighed.....
“No, no, Princess, please believe me.” Ye cuiru panicked. She tried to keep her mind clear and think of any evidence that could convince people.
Gu Xin did not interrupt her and just looked at her quietly.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said,”Princess, it’s true that man Zhu wants to replace miss Xie.” She had also told the commoner that brother Yi was not worthy of miss Xie. If she were miss Xie, she would definitely look down on brother Yi. Although this commoner didn’t like miss Xie and kept pestering brother Yi, when this commoner heard others say that brother Yi wasn’t good, this commoner wasn’t happy either. So this commoner asked, then what kind of person is worthy of miss Xie? Man Zhu had already said that only someone like young master Xie was worthy of her. At that time, this commoner was dumbfounded. Young master Xie was miss Xie’s blood brother! In the end, manzhu said that if she had the identity of miss Xie, she would definitely marry someone like young master Xie.”
“There was also one time in the Xie family’s shop, this commoner went to sell embroidery. Miss Xie happened to be changing into men’s clothes and she heard that this commoner was here, so she asked someone to bring this commoner in. This commoner heard miss Xie talking about man Zhu, saying that she wanted to marry man Zhu to the Xie family’s steward’s son. The two were quite compatible. Man Zhu said that she was willing to accompany miss Xie for a lifetime. Miss Xie told man Zhu that the man she was going to marry did not take concubines, so she didn’t need a dowry servant girl to be a concubine. She married the steward’s son, so she could also marry with her, and they would still be master and servant. When this commoner went in, she just happened to meet with man Zhu, who just came out. At that time, man Zhu’s face was very dark.”
“This commoner once heard two little girls in the shop chatting. Young master Xie actually brought man Zhu to the shop. With man Zhu’s appearance, if one didn’t know, one would think that she was young Madam! She was just a maidservant like them. After that, the two girls were reprimanded by the shopkeeper.”
“This commoner suspects that man Zhu killed miss Xie because miss Xie wanted to marry her off to the steward’s son, and man Zhu wanted to marry young master Xie. She knew that her status was not high enough, so she must have thought that miss Xie was dead. She and miss Xie were as close as sisters, so old master Xie and Madam Xie would definitely treat her well. Young master Xie would also often look for her because he missed his younger sister. Perhaps she’ll be able to get together with young master Xie!”
The more ye cuiru spoke, the more smoothly she became. In the end, she even felt that it was the truth.
Gu Xin was also shocked. It can even be done this way?
She called Xie Jun in and asked him if he was involved in the matter.
Xie Jun frowned and thought about it. He did take manzhu to the shop, not only his own shop, but also other shops. Because he wanted to give his sister a gift and surprise her, he took manzhu, who knew his sister better, with him.
He had never thought that man Zhu would have any improper thoughts about him, but after hearing ye cuiru’s words, he thought of their interactions in the past. Man Zhu seemed to love appearing in front of him. Every time his sister had something for him, it was always man Zhu who delivered it. However, when his sister ran errands in the courtyard to deliver things to his parents, it was not man Zhu who went.
Also, he did know that his little sister was planning to find a husband for man Zhu, the son of their family’s Chief Steward. He even felt that they were quite compatible. Man Zhu was very good looking, so if she didn’t get married, she would either become a concubine to her little sister’s husband or someone else’s concubine.
