“That’s good, there’s no need to waste time on that kind of person. Qin Yun, let’s go to the slums in the southern part of the city. Xiu Niang should be living there.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she and Qin Yun headed south of the city.
When they reached the south of the city, Gu Qingxue realized that the slums in Wuji City were simpler and cruder than she had imagined. There were no houses here, only tents set up one after another.
Gu Qingxue’s expression froze, and she stood there in silence, not moving. Qin Yun came forward with a worried expression. “Young Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little uncomfortable thinking that my child might be living in such a place all the time,” Gu Qingxue took a deep breath, but she still could not suppress the dull pain in her heart.
Qin Yun immediately understood Gu Qingxue’s meaning and consoled her, “Don’t be sad, Eldest Miss. Fortunately, we’ve already found this place. We’ll definitely be able to bring the Young Master back very soon.”
Gu Qingxue nodded, then strode forward with Qin Yun to find out the location of Xiu Niangs house.
Xiu Niang was surprisingly famous in the slums. Gu Qingxue only had to ask a little, and someone immediately said that they knew Xiu Niang.
A busy woman was standing outside an old and tattered tent. She was taking care of three children in one breath. As she busied herself, she said to Gu Qingxue, “You’re looking for Xiu Niang? Xiu Niangs house is nearby, but there’s no one in her house now. Xiu Niang has died long ago.”
“Dead?” Gu Qingxue immediately took out a few loose pieces of silver from her sleeve and handed them to the busy woman. “May I trouble you to speak in detail? What exactly is going on?”
The woman did not expect Gu Qingxue to be so generous. She opened her arms and carefully took the silver, her smile bright. “Many thanks, miss! Who are you to Xiu Niang? Don’t you know that Xiu Niang had already passed away two and a half years ago? She’s living a hard life, living alone with two children. The elder daughter is fine, but she also has a younger son who has a heart disease. The medicine he takes every year is sky-high in price, causing her, a weak woman, to work all day long and have to save to buy medicine for her child. It’s really pitiful.”
“Eldest Miss…!” Qin Yun was excited when she heard this. She hurriedly tugged at Gu Qingxue’s arm.
Gu Qingxue’s body trembled slightly, almost unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.
She had long heard from Gu Chengbin that her child had a heart disease and had been weak since young. So when she heard from the shopkeeper that Xiu Niang had stolen all the medicine to treat heart disease, she had already guessed that all of this must have something to do with her poor child.
Now it seemed that she had guessed correctly!
“Madam, don’t be agitated. Xiu Niangs body is too weak. The doctor said that she would not be able to hold on, but she still managed to hold on for so long. It is already a rare sight.” As the woman spoke, she looked at Gu Qingxue’s pale face with worry.
“Since Xiu Niang is dead, where are her two children now?” Gu Qingxue asked.
“Outsiders like us don’t know the details. Although Xiu Niang was poor, she treated the two children very well. After Xiu Niang died, her eldest daughter left with her youngest son, and we have never seen them again. I heard that her eldest daughter went to the Qi family to work, but I’m not sure what she’s doing or what she’s doing.” The woman seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, “By the way, her eldest daughter’s name is Bo Yan. If you want to see her, you can go to the Qi family and ask around..”
