A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 506 Sha Yanxiao comes forward to handle the matter

Afterwards, the lady said, "Now that the worship is over, let's go back home. Gui'er, don't think about it too long. Your eldest brother's wedding is approaching, and it would be best if these two things were done at the same time."

Gui'er tried her best to control her emotions and nodded with a smile. She knew that it would be of no benefit if she broke up with him now.

After returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Miss Tian was very considerate and asked the driver to take Gui'er to the gate of Sha Yanxiao's courtyard. After getting off the car, Gui'er looked at Miss Tian and the lady in the car, smiling and waving to her, and she also smiled and waved back to them.

After the car left, Guier walked quickly into the yard and went straight back to her room.

After closing the door, Guier realized that her forehead was sweating and her hands were shaking. She was nervous and angry.

Gui'er had always known that the lady was an old woman with a hypocritical heart but a sweet mouth. She never expected that this warm and generous Miss Tian was a kind person. She never expected that the two of them were similar in nature. Maybe, she took her to watch operas and to meet those noble ladies just to test her character.

Of course, Jin Bao was willing to have a child for Sha Yanyao, but she was also ambitious. She wanted to be at least a concubine. She was afraid that Miss Tian would not accept it, so she set her sights on herself.

Gui'er wanted to find someone to make decisions for her, but Shopkeepers Zhang and Liu were obviously useless. No matter how angry they were, they could not help.

Song Xichen, I can't contact him easily.

After much thought, I can only rely on myself.

Gui'er thought for a long time and came up with two solutions. One was that she would take the initiative to go to Sha Yanyao and explain things clearly. Sha Yanyao was the protagonist of this matter. If he said that he didn't need her, then no matter how much Madam and Miss Tian said, it would be useless.

But Gui'er was a little hesitant because she was a little confused about Sha Yanyao and didn't know what he really thought. Although she had met him almost every day in Nanjing, she still couldn't guess what he was thinking sometimes. What if he also agreed with the ideas of Madam and Miss Tian, then wouldn't she be asking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Gui'er decided to use the second method and let Sha Yanxiao come forward. She was sure that Sha Yanxiao would definitely help her, but the only disadvantage of this method was that it would definitely offend Madam and Miss Tian. She might not be able to live with them in Nanjing in the future, and her studies would also be affected.

Gui'er walked around the room but couldn't think of a better solution. She sighed and thought, "Forget it. At worst, I can just not go to Nanjing to study. This is better than being forced to have a surrogate mother."

After making up her mind, she opened the door and saw Sha Yanxiao standing at the door. Gui'er was startled.

Sha Yanxiao quickly patted Gui'er's head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The servants said that after you accompanied the mistress to burn incense and worship Buddha, you came back and went straight back to your room. You didn't look well. Is everything okay?"

When Gui'er heard this, all the grievances she felt came up to her head, and she burst into tears with a "wow" as if tears had burst out of a floodgate.

Sha Yanxiao was startled and quickly took Gui'er's hand and went to his study. He asked her to sit down and personally poured her a cup of hot tea.

Gui'er cried for several minutes before she stopped. Although she was acting for Sha Yanxiao, she was indeed angry in her heart.

So he exaggerated the story and told it to Sha Yanxiao.

After hearing this, Sha Yanxiao's face turned terribly gloomy. Even Gui'er was a little scared. She began to be unsure of his intentions and said cautiously: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help, but I grew up in the Marshal's Mansion and have long regarded you as my biological brother. Now you want me to have a child through surrogacy. I feel like I'm still a child. I, I can't accept it." Then she started crying again.

Sha Yanxiao saw Gui'er crying and sniffling, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Then he comforted her: "Guier, don't cry, don't cry, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

Gui'er asked him with a red nose, "But if I refuse, will I be unable to go to school in Nanjing with my eldest brother and his family?"

Sha Yanxiao said, "No." After a pause, he said, "If it really doesn't work out, let's go back to Jiangcheng. If you really like studying in Nanjing, I can find another way for you."

Gui'er was sure that Sha Yanxiao would help her, and she felt relieved.

Sha Yanxiao said, "I thought about it, this doesn't seem like an idea that my eldest brother would come up with."

In fact, Gui'er also felt that it was probably not Sha Yanyao's idea. After all, when she was young, she was bullied when Sha Yanxiao was not around, and Sha Yanyao protected her.

But now I have grown up, and so much time has passed, people will change.

Sha Yanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll go see my eldest brother and talk to him about this."

Guier said timidly, "Should I go with you?"

Sha Yanxiao touched her head and said, "You're tired today, go and have a rest."

Gui'er returned to her room. Dingxiang knocked on the door and came in with milk. She asked cautiously and concernedly, "Miss, are you okay? After coming back from outside today, although you acted as if nothing had happened, everyone in this courtyard has watched you grow up, and they can see that you are unhappy."

Gui'er was very moved by what she heard. Suddenly, she thought of something and said to Dingxiang, "Dingxiang, don't you have some good sisters in the lady's room?"

Ding Xiang said, "Yes, but they are not particularly valued by the Madam, so none of them went to Nanjing with her. They all stayed here to look after the courtyard."

Gui'er said, "It doesn't matter. Just help me do one thing. Find an opportunity and ask your sisters to find out what Brother Yanxiao and Big Brother said. Also, find out how Madam and Miss Tian react. This is very important to me."

Ding Xiang listened, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over there right now."

Gui'er warned, "Be careful, don't get discovered."

Sha Yanxiao didn't come back until almost dinner time. Gui'er hurried to greet him. He looked a little tired and his face didn't look well.

Gui'er asked him timidly, a little worried, "Brother, are you talking to the Madam? Or is your conversation with Big Brother going well?"

Sha Yanxiao patted her head and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, they won't target you anymore. We've already agreed to have him look for that Jin Bao."

Gui'er finally felt relieved, but she didn't know why, she felt that Sha Yanxiao could handle this matter.

Sha Yanxiao smiled and touched her face again, saying, "Are you relieved now? Let's eat."

Guier nodded happily, but after a few seconds she became sad again.

She said to Sha Yanxiao, "But I've already rejected their request. Can I still study with them in Nanjing?"
