Chapter 2 The Beloved Farm Girl (2)
Bai Ruofu felt a pang of sympathy for him. He must be suffering terribly.
"Thank you, Brother Yunye..."
"Ahem." Gu Yunye coughed lightly. In his heart, Afu had been tormented by him countless times, but now Afu still felt grateful to him, which truly made him feel ashamed.
He dared not say anything more and quickly carried Bai Ruofu off the horse.
They didn't have much money, otherwise he would have insisted that Afu ride in the carriage. The carriage was spacious and comfortable, and Afu wouldn't have to be so close to this stinky man.
He wronged Afu.
There happened to be an inn next door, and Gu Yunye led Bai Ruofu inside.
Before this, Bai Ruofu had already blackened her face to ensure that others could not see her features, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The two stayed there for one night before leaving, and Gu Yunye found the night extremely difficult to endure.
-
The next day.
Beijing.
Yong'an Houfu.
Through the intermediaries, Bai Ruofu finally met her aunt, Granny Xue.
Granny Xue is forty years old this year. She is the wet nurse of Shen Fengwang, the heir of the Marquis of Yong'an. She is highly respected in the Marquis's mansion, but no matter how respected she is, she can't compare to the master of the house.
But for Bai Ruofu, that was enough.
Upon hearing that Bai Ruofu was Xue Mama's niece, the servants became much more respectful towards her and led her to see Xue Mama.
But Gu Yunye cannot go in.
He didn't care about anything else, but he was worried about Bai Ruofu's safety.
Upon seeing Granny Xue's face, which bore a striking resemblance to her deceased mother, Bai Ruofu felt a pang of grief. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her nose stung as she broke down in uncontrollable sobs.
"aunt……"
"Afu!" Granny Xue quickly hugged her and said, "Good child, it's so kind of you to come all this way to find me. Don't worry, from now on, your aunt will be your support..."
Granny Xue informed the Madam that Bai Ruofu could stay for the time being. Bai Ruofu also told Granny Xue that Gu Yunye had escorted her all the way here.
“Aunt... Brother Yunye has taken good care of me along the way, and I can see that he has feelings for me…”
After all, she was a young woman, so it wasn't appropriate to be too obvious, but Bai Ruofu's blushing cheeks said it all.
Looking at her niece's fresh and refined face, Granny Xue thought that no woman in the entire capital could compare to her beauty. If... she were to marry that country bumpkin, it would be a waste of her talent.
Granny Xue reminded her, "Afu, even without Gu Yunye's escort, you can spend more money to hire a security escort agency. He insists on escorting you, so don't let his actions hold you hostage."
"If he doesn't ask for anything in return, it shows he has an open mind. If he always brings up this matter intentionally or unintentionally, it means he had ulterior motives in giving it to you. This person is not worth entrusting your life to."
Bai Ruofu fell silent, carefully considering what Granny Xue had said.
Granny Xue patted her hand and said, "Good child, stay here and rest. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
"As for Yunye, don't worry. I've arranged accommodation for him and given him appropriate thanks. You don't need to feel guilty. If he's willing, his aunt can also help him settle down in the capital."
"Aunt..." Bai Ruofu was so moved that she buried her face in Xue Mama's arms and cried again.
at the same time.
Gu Yunye tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Because the reward Xue Mama gave him was significantly more than what he had done for Afu.
