Gu Xian’er was slightly stunned. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. Then, she nodded and said softly, “Yes, that’s my cousin.”
Nanny Qian was stunned and shocked. “Your cousin? Then you…”
“Granny probably doesn’t know that we fled here because of the famine in Yongning Prefecture. My cousin’s family was chased out by my grandparents long ago. I was sold to human traffickers by my grandparents before I came to Peng Manor. I always thought that my cousin and the others were long gone. After all, my grandparents only gave them a few potatoes back then. Eldest Aunt is a fool and my cousin has two young siblings. Eldest Uncle has also disappeared.”
Nanny Qian really did not know Gu Xian’er’s background. After all, she had only casually called a servant girl to carry things.
And her cousin…
Nanny Qian looked at the imposing green brick house in front of her and frowned slightly.
Gu Xian’er sighed slightly and continued, “I was too shocked and excited to see Cousin just now, so I couldn’t help but say a few more words. I thought I would never see the Gu family again in my life. I didn’t expect Cousin to not only live well, but also have the money to build such a good house and even know Young Master Peng. She’s too capable.”
Nanny Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly. She was Young Madam’s trusted subordinate. Today, Madam wanted her to find out who the Gu family was. Why would Young Master ask them to send a gift over for no reason? When did he get to know such a country bumpkin?
The problem was that this gift was personally prepared by the young master. It was not cheap.
She glanced at Gu Xian’er and asked with narrowed eyes, “Then did your cousin tell you how she met the young master of our residence?”
The person who had fled here had only arrived not long ago. There was no reason for Young Master to know her.
Gu Xian’er shook her head. “I asked, but my cousin refused to tell me. She only told me to work hard in the Peng Manor.”
Nanny Qian stopped talking and lowered her head slightly to take a sip of brown sugar water.
Where did this little girl from the Gu family get so much money?
Nanny Qian had met Liu Wei, but she had also asked around just now. It seemed that Young Master Liu had just arrived at Yong Fu Village not long ago. Moreover, he had asked a hunter surnamed Shao to bring him into the mountains for hunting. He only got to know the little girl because the little girl from the Gu family lived next door to the Shao family.
In addition, the Gu family was the only family in the village who had a carriage. Young Master Liu borrowed her family’s carriage.
With such a close relationship, the Gu family actually invited him over.
After staying in a rich family for a long time, Nanny Qian’s thoughts became more complicated.
She felt that this girl from the Gu family was really good at climbing up the ladder.
The capable Gu Yundong stood in the room and could not help but laugh at the two worried children. “Do you think she can still bully Eldest Sister now? Eldest Sister will fight back.”
Gu Yunshu thought about it. Yes, Eldest Sister is not easy to bully now.
Then they were relieved.
“Alright, you don’t have to worry about Eldest Sister. If you’re really worried, go and protect Mother.” Gu Yundong patted their heads.
When the two little guys heard this, it was as if they had received an important mission. They nodded very seriously and rushed to the Zeng family.
The new house could not be used yet. They could only do the cooking at the Zeng family’s house for the time being.
The two of them left, but Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the front yard.
Gu Xian’er wasn’t someone who would give up easily. She had to be careful..
