Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 314 The Redemption of the Frail Cousin (24)

"Miss"

Xue'er couldn't stop Zi Tan, and watched helplessly as Zi Tan, holding the letter, leaped directly in front of Gu Xiao like a skyrocket.

"This is a letter from Young Master Biao to you!" Zitan handed it to Gu Xiao with both hands, not forgetting to emphasize Young Master Biao again in front of everyone, as if afraid that others would not know who gave it to Gu Xiao.

The smug look on his face was as if he had won the lottery.

Shuya, who had been leisurely enjoying herself, changed her expression drastically upon hearing that the letter was sent by her cousin, and became extremely nervous. She hurriedly craned her neck, trying to read the contents of the letter.

Unfortunately, she was still some distance from Gu Xiao and Zi Tan, and no matter how hard she tried to look, she couldn't see them clearly at all. Helpless, Shu Ya could only stand anxiously behind them, wringing her hands incessantly, extremely anxious but at a loss for what to do.

Gu Xiao was startled by Zi Tan's sudden shout. When she came to her senses, she looked at the letter in Zi Tan's hand, and her memory returned to the scene when Ling Nanchen sent a letter home in her previous life.

Zitan was also happily handed over to him, asking him to open it and take a look.

What was her state of mind back then? It's been so long, so long that Gu Xiao has almost forgotten.

It was a complex emotion of both anticipation and fear. I hoped the letter would say he was safe, but I was also afraid it wouldn't. So I nervously took the letter and read the whole page with tears in my eyes.

Gu Xiao couldn't remember the contents of the letter anymore, only that it was several hundred words long, ending with the words "all is well." The joy and sorrow she felt while reading the letter remained vivid in her memory to this day.

After Ling Yubai's death, the Ling family's golden age was like a kite with a broken string, gone forever.

When a wall falls, people push it down. Those who dared not offend him before all began to compare Ling Nanchen and Ling Yubai. Ling Yubai in the past was like a mountain that Ling Nanchen could never climb over, and Ling Nanchen was constrained at every turn in the officialdom.

If Liu Sangning hadn't pointed out the crux of the matter and made Ling Nanchen abandon his literary pursuits for martial arts, he would probably have been weighed down by Ling Yubai for the rest of his life.

In her past life, Gu Xiao had experienced all sorts of letters she received from home, from hundreds of words to just a few lines at the end, or even no word at all.

The love and security were given by Ling Nanchen, but the storms and rumors were also gifts from him.

Gu Xiao wasn't ambitious; she just wanted to live her own little world. She didn't want to fight for power or be a rare gem. She just wanted to cherish her life and live each moment to the fullest.

"Miss? Miss?" Zitan saw her young mistress staring blankly at the letter and waved her arms, trying to wake Gu Xiao from her reverie.

Gu Xiao then snapped out of her reverie, recalling her past life.

Looking at the letter handed to him, Gu Xiao frowned slightly and, contrary to his usual behavior, asked Zi Tan, "Men and women should not touch each other. My cousin and I are not related by blood, nor are we related by blood. Why would he send me a letter? You must have made a mistake. Hurry up and return it!"

The girl before him had lost her former timidity and gentleness; she spoke with righteous indignation, as if she had been a matriarch for many years, exuding an aura of authority that made people dare not disobey her.

Zi Tan was stunned by Gu Xiao's behavior. For a moment, she stared blankly at Zi Tan, unsure whether to hand over the letter or not.

This amused Xue'er, who thought Gu Xiao had finally come to terms with things and was willing to let go, thus ending things with someone with whom there was no future. She immediately snatched the letter from Zitan's hand excitedly, "Miss, I'll deliver it to Young Master Biao right away!"

Xue'er left as soon as she finished speaking, giving Zitan no chance to stop her.

Zitan couldn't just watch the opportunity slip away because of Xue'er's hot-bloodedness, so she immediately chased after her, saying, "I'll go with Xue'er too."

Shuya's thoughts naturally followed Xue'er's departing figure and flew outside. After hurriedly bowing to Gu Xiao, she said, "My two younger sisters are being too impetuous and might offend Miss's dignity. I'll go and see for myself too." With that, she quickly followed the two.

Gu Xiao watched the three figures hurrying away, let out a long sigh of relief, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. It turned out that living without giving anyone any face was not a bad feeling.

Xue'er ran quickly ahead, while Zitan followed behind, panting. No matter how much Zitan called out to her, Xue'er was determined to keep walking forward with her head down, completely ignoring Zitan.

As they got closer and closer to the garden where Ling Nanchen often went to sunbathe, Zitan was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

Xue'er looked up and saw the plaque of the garden. She was overjoyed and was about to rush in when Shuya, who appeared out of nowhere, blocked her way.

Shuya, panting, blocked Xue'er's way, refusing to let her into the garden. Soon, Zitan saw that Xue'er was being stopped and was overjoyed, so she rushed over as well.

Shuya reached out to snatch the letter from Xue'er's hand. Xue'er dodged, but Zitan took advantage of the opening behind her.

Zitan was delighted to have grabbed the letter, but Xue'er refused to let go. As the two were locked in a stalemate, Shuya also joined the struggle.

The three of them quickly caught the attention of Ling Yubai, who was in a pavilion in the garden.

Ling Yubai was resting with his eyes closed when he was awakened by the commotion of the three people. He frowned and glanced at where they were, then asked Zhuifeng, who was looking around, in a cold voice, "What's all this noise?"

Zhui Feng squinted and looked, but couldn't figure it out. "It looks like Miss Biao's three maids are fighting over something."

Ling Yubai's courtyard hadn't been this lively in a long time, and she was a little curious about what the three of them were fighting over. "Go and see what they're fighting over."

"I'll do it!" Zhui Feng had just taken a step when he was stopped by Mo Feng, who was standing silently to the side.

Mo Feng, who had been staring blankly with his head down, had actually spotted the letter in Xue'er's hand as soon as the three of them approached the garden.

Seeing that Ling Yubai was going to chase after that good-for-nothing Feng to check things out, it was possible that Feng would reveal all of their plans, and he didn't forget to take the opportunity to mock Ling Yubai.

Mo Feng finally understood why Uncle Zhao had insisted that he deliver the letter for Ling Yu Bai.

At that moment, Mo Feng was rushing to the garden gate, where three people who had almost come to blows over a letter were now locked in a fierce battle.

"Zitan, let go!" Xue'er's eyes reddened with anxiety. "This letter was sent by Miss to be returned to Young Master Biao."

"I won't let go, you let go if you want!" Zitan was not about to give up. She wasn't as brainless as Xue'er, who would act impulsively. Naturally, she wouldn't let go of this easy target. "Xue'er, you don't think before you speak. It would be better if I delivered this letter back for Miss, otherwise it would hurt the harmony between Miss and Young Master Biao!"

"What's with all this talk of harmony? My young lady isn't even familiar with him, so where does this harmony come from?" Xue'er retorted.

"You..." Zitan was so angry that her teeth itched, but she refused to let go no matter what. She could only vent her anger on Shuya, who was causing trouble. "What, we returned the letter to Miss, how come Sister Shuya, who is so idle, has time? Could it be that you haven't finished learning the rules of the concubine and are just bored?"

Shu Ya assumed the letter was from Ling Nanchen to Gu Xiao, so she refused to let go. She immediately confronted the two of them, yelling, "You two are just as unruly as your master! How can you associate with men in private? I'm teaching you a lesson on behalf of the Second Madam! Give it to me now!"

The three of them argued back and forth, each refusing to give in. Under their pulling and tugging, the thin Xuan paper finally gave way. Just as Mo Feng arrived, the earthen shed collapsed instantly, shattering into pieces that scattered into the air.
