Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

As the day for paying the final payment agreed with the little beggar Wang Ping approached, Gu Zhen still could not escape Jinzhu's surveillance.

After lunch in the afternoon, Gu Zhen, contrary to his usual behavior, did not immediately return to his own courtyard. Instead, he respectfully helped Meng Jinlian walk towards the inner room.

Meng Jinlian was a little uncomfortable and shook her off, "What's the matter?"

"To answer your question, I want to go back to my parents' home. My mother has been doing embroidery all year round and her eyesight is not good. I want to go back to see her."

Missing one's mother is a feeling that every child will have, especially since the original owner was forced to marry here, she must have missed home even more.

Meng Yingxue did not doubt her, but she didn't want her second daughter-in-law to leave the mansion from the bottom of her heart.

"If you have anything you want to say or take with you, just send the maid to go. You are a widow, don't always think about going out. If we get the news out, will we still have shame?"

Gu Zhen felt a little aggrieved when she heard this, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "My mother is teaching me that daughter-in-law to ask Jinzhu to go back. She is my personal maid, and I can explain anything to her."

Meng Yingxue was about to say no, but then she thought, Jinzhu is her confidant after all, and she can convey everything to her.

"Then let Jinzhu go. I have some medicinal herbs here. Take them to your mother. We merchants sincerely want to be your relatives. Don't have any second thoughts."

Gu Zhen nodded repeatedly, but Meng Yingxue waved her hand impatiently and did not let her enter the inner room.

She has no manners at all. The master is still in the inner room under her care, recuperating from his illness. How can a daughter-in-law barge in?

Gu Zhen was just trying to save face, so he immediately and naturally took his leave.

After returning to the yard, Gu Zhen did not give the herbs to Jinzhu. They were all old and moldy, and there was no use in taking them back. It would be better to leave them for her to make medicine.

However, Gu Zhen still acted very excited, constantly rummaging and picking up things, "These are all medicinal herbs I have never heard of. Mom is so kind to me. I don't know how much these cost. Isn't it a waste for a poor family to eat these?"

She mumbled quietly, but Jinzhu heard it clearly.

Jinzhu showed a disdainful smile on her face, thinking that what the lady said was indeed right. This poor man came to the mansion of a wealthy man and saw the unimaginable wealth and splendor, so how could he be unwilling?

She had only been serving the Second Young Madam for a day or so, and she had already seen how vain she was.

Before going to bed at night, he would put the wooden box containing the monthly silver next to his pillow and count it once.

Sometimes she would look with envy at the silver hairpin on the maid's head, but it was really not presentable.

Gu Zhen packed a small bag with some silver coins and some plain clothes in it. She handed them to Jinzhu and said, "Give this to my mother. Please ask them about their health and business. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Jinzhu curled her lips secretly. How could a widowed woman, who couldn't even leave the house, help?

He was even reluctant to give the medicinal herbs that his wife had given him as a gift to his own parents.

But she didn't show it. She took it respectfully, asked for the address, and went out.

Gu Zhen curled her lips and waited for a while before climbing out through the back window.

The courtyard where she was located was at the westernmost end of the mansion. There was a small path outside the window. Next to it was the courtyard that once belonged to the second master, but it was now abandoned.

Gu Zhen walked quickly along the path. There were not many people walking around in the mansion in the afternoon, so he dodged and avoided all the way. Fortunately, he reached the backyard smoothly.

The stones were still there, and Gu Zhen stepped on them and climbed over the wall. As soon as he landed, he saw the little beggars.

When Wang Ping saw her, he got up from the ground. This time they did not stay where they were, but walked along the alley to find a deserted place.

A few beggars were sitting at the entrance to keep watch. Gu Zhen took out some silver from his pocket and said, "Take the balance that we agreed on."

Wang Ping did not reach out to take it, but instead knelt down in front of Gu Zhen.

"Madam! Please save my sister. I don't know what she ate this morning. She has a severe stomachache. The clinic won't admit her. If you can help me, I will work like a slave for you for the rest of my life!"

Only then did Gu Zhen notice the dirty marks on Wang Ping's face, as if they were left by tears.

These children are all pitiful people. Since they have come to Gu Zhen for help, they must be desperate. She can't bear not to save them.

But time is limited.

Gu Zhen frowned and thought for a while. Just as the light in Wang Ping's eyes gradually disappeared, she said, "I can't stay outside for too long. You just do as I tell you, okay?"

Wang Ping nodded hurriedly and leaned over to listen.

Gu Zhen briefly explained and then quickly followed them to the beggars' den in the east of the city.

A pungent odor was smelled before he even got close. Gu Zhen once again lamented the difference between the east and west of the city. It was indeed true that while the rich lived in luxury, there were people freezing to death on the streets.

The beggars' den was in a dilapidated yard. As soon as Gu Zhen entered, someone looked at him with shining eyes.

Wang Ping raised the stick in his hand fiercely. Those people were afraid of this reckless boy and turned around angrily and ignored him.

Gu Zhen once again had a new opinion of Wang Ping.

It takes some skill for someone to survive here with several half-grown children at such a young age.

Wang Ping was a little shy in the face of Gu Zhen's admiring gaze and led her inside. Gu Zhen tried hard to ignore the mice and bugs scurrying around under her feet and walked calmly to a little girl.

He looked only six or seven years old, with a few children around him. His yellow face was sunken, with a pair of big eyes bulging out, and he was holding his stomach and groaning.

"Madam, please take her to the clinic, okay?" Wang Ping choked.

These are his only relatives in the world.

Gu Zhen didn't answer and went straight to take the pulse. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had chosen the right golden finger.

Wang Ping opened his eyes wide, "Madam, can you treat illnesses?"

Gu Zhen smiled, motioned for them to be quiet, and gently coaxed the little girl while taking her pulse.

It turned out that he had eaten something bad, probably some fruit or plant in the wild.

"Don't worry, there's no danger to your life. Wang Ping, come with me to get the medicine."

Drink one dose, excrete it, and you'll be fine.

Gu Zhen bought medicine at the nearest clinic in the east of the city.

"Wang Ping, I'll give you the medicine and the money. When your sister gets better, take her to the Gu family wonton stall on Qingping Street in the east of the city to find the owner Gu. They will take you and your sister in."

Tears fell from Wang Ping's eyes. He knew the Gu family wonton stall. Sometimes the uncles and aunts there would give them a bowl of soup.

But there are many poor people in troubled times, so how can they have the audacity to go to other people's homes and eat and drink for free?

Gu Zhen stroked his hair lovingly: "I'm not raising you in vain. I need you to help me bring things in from outside, and protect my parents for me, okay?"

Only then did Wang Ping realize that the beautiful sister in front of him was the daughter of the Gu family who was forced to marry into the mansion of a wealthy family.

"Just call me sister from now on, no need to call me Madam."

Wang Ping nodded heavily, "Don't worry, sister. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
