Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 294 The Redemption of the Frail Cousin (4)
After quickly completing a simple washing routine, Gu Xiao dragged her exhausted body to bed, ready to drift off to sleep.
However, this night was destined to be turbulent for her; she slept very poorly and was unable to enter a deep sleep state.
In a daze, Gu Xiao frequently fell into dreams, and without exception, these dreams were all memories of her past life.
Especially tonight, she dreamt that in her past life she was punished, forced to kneel alone in that cold, eerie, and terrifying shrine. That deep sense of helplessness seemed to devour her, causing her to tremble and struggle incessantly in her dream.
Time passed second by second, and finally, when Gu Xiao saw a faint glimmer of light on the horizon through the window, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, began to relax a little, and her tense nerves eased.
Taking advantage of the brief peace before dawn, Gu Xiao was finally able to get a short, peaceful sleep.
Unfortunately, her good mood didn't last long. Not long after, Gu Xiao, who was fast asleep, was once again disturbed by a terrible nightmare. She sat up abruptly in bed, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, panting heavily, her eyes filled with fear and unease.
Seeing this, Zitan, who had been waiting nearby, was very curious about what had happened last night, but dared not ask about the details.
However, just last night when Gu Xiao was taking a bath, Zi Tan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the still bright red virginity mark on her arm.
This discovery put Zitan at ease, making her feel that it probably wasn't a serious problem.
So she simply comforted Gu Xiao with a few words, then turned and left the room to chat with the others in the courtyard.
After some time, when Gu Xiao had completely tidied herself up, made sure she was presentable, and mentally prepared herself to visit her aunt, Zi Tan slowly returned to her room.
Ling family's third maternal grandmother, who is Gu Xiao's aunt, is named Ling Yue Su. She is a strict and unsmiling noblewoman. Xiao Xiao has always been afraid of her, so she was scolded by Ling Yue Su for a full half hour in the room.
"You silly girl, how dare you get so drunk at your own grandmother's birthday banquet that you had to be helped back to your room to sober up! What kind of behavior is this!"
Ling Yue Su stared wide-eyed at Gu Xiao, whose head was almost buried in the ground, her anger rising rapidly and almost uncontrollable.
"In just a few months, you will be coming of age, yet you are still so childish. What family will want a girl as immature as you?"
Just then, Gu Moxuan heard his wife scolding their little niece from inside the house. He quickly rushed over and began to coax Ling Yue Su with a smile on his face: "Oh, alright, alright, Madam, please don't be angry. Our Xiao Xiao is still just a child, and it's inevitable that she will be naughty sometimes. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
However, Ling Yue Su's anger didn't subside after hearing this. Instead, she turned her gaze to Gu Xiao's delicate and beautiful face, feeling both angry and helpless. She glared at Gu Mo Xuan and said irritably, "Hmph, she won't be a child anymore in a few years! Do you really intend to continue to indulge her and let her do whatever she wants? Every time I try to discipline her, you immediately come over to persuade me. Do you think I'll mistreat my precious niece?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, explaining, "Madam, please calm down! This is absolutely impossible! Ever since you, Madam, never abandoned me, a useless cripple, and took meticulous care of me, my affection for you is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. The sun, moon, and stars can all bear witness to it! So, how could I possibly take sides and anger you?"
"Don't talk about yourself like that!" Ling Yue Su held Gu Mo Xuan's slightly trembling right hand with a face full of tenderness, as if she wanted to pass on all her warmth and strength to him.
However, at that moment, Gu Moxuan secretly put his left hand behind his back and frantically waved it at Xiaoxiao, who was not far away, signaling her to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
All of this naturally did not escape the eyes of Gu Xiao, who had been kneeling on the ground. As intelligent as she was, she instantly understood the deeper meaning behind it.
She knew that staying there would only cause her embarrassment and trouble, so she stood up without hesitation, bowed respectfully to Ling Yue Su and Gu Mo Xuan, and then hurriedly turned to leave.
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Xiao had only taken a few steps out of the room when, at the corner, she unexpectedly bumped into a broad and sturdy chest.
Because it happened so suddenly, and she was in such a hurry, she didn't have time to react and ended up falling straight into the other person's arms.
Once she calmed down and looked closely, she realized that the person standing in front of her was Ling Nanchen!
