Chapter 1,167: Born to Rebel

d mid-sentence, remembering her grandson at home clamoring to go out and make his own way. She closed her mouth again.Jia Yin said with a quick change of subject, "Mother, my pastry shop has been reno...Jia Yin worried that her brother was in danger, and she hurriedly stepped forward. Her right hand had already been tucked inside her sleeve, clutching a dagger.

As a result, the person in his brother's arms turned out to be a frightened and bewildered young girl.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had fair skin, a round face, big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. She was very beautiful and lively.

She wore a moon-white cheongsam, with simple silver earrings and two long braids, her hair as black as ink. She looked plain yet capable.

This isn't what an assassin looks like!

Jia Yin quietly put away the dagger in her hand.

As expected, the woman who jumped out of the carriage afterward was a familiar face.

Gu Qingqing's hair was a little disheveled, and with the help of her maid, she got out of the carriage.

She first pulled the girl from inside the carriage and, in a low growl, scolded her, “I’ve told you how many times to be sensible, but you never listen. If we are going to make good time, why do you keep messing around with things like horsetails! Do you want us all to die”

The girl with the round face shrank her neck nervously and whispered, “I didn't mean to... The horse's tail swished in, so I just grabbed a strand. I didn't expect it to run away!”

Gu Qingqing raised her hand and slapped her, hating her even more.

The horse's tail swishes in, you should grab a handful! If the horse falls in, are you going to take a taste too

The round-faced girl was unconvinced, wrinkling her little nose and retorted, "Sis, I'm just curious, I'm not stupid! Who wants to taste horse manure"

Guo Qingqing rolled her eyes so hard she almost choked.

Jia Yin glanced over, her brother seemed to be holding onto another girl's hand, looking somewhat awkward, with a blush on his ears.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "Elder Sister Gu, how did you come out of the city during such a chaotic time"

Gu Qingqing turned her head and saw Jia Yin. She was overjoyed and quickly grabbed Jia Yin's hand, replying, "I heard that there is relief for refugees outside the city, so our family wants to donate some grain and food."

"Just happened to be back visiting, thinking about seeing you, so I took on this job myself. Didn't expect you to actually be here, that's great!"

Before a reply could be heard, the round-faced girl had already crept up to Gu Qingqing with curiosity on her face, secretly eyeing Jia Yin.

Jia Yin chuckled and asked, "Gu elder sister, who is this young lady She's truly beautiful!"

Gu Qingqing recalled the earlier incident and angrily spat, "She's only good-looking. She's useless in every other way. Especially her brain, it's empty! She causes trouble every day, breaking all the family rules since she was a child!"

"Previously, he was sent to live with his grandparents' hoping that it would help him calm down. Unexpectedly, he became even more mischievous!"

The round-faced girl blushed a little and tugged on her sister's sleeve, begging, "Sister, you mustn't say it in front of the princess!"

Gu Qingqing felt helpless and could only tell Jia Yin again, "This girl is named Tongyu, my younger sister. She has never liked the young ladies from other families since she was a child. She used to make trouble for them and was sent away by her family. Perhaps she heard about your heroic deeds at the summer resort banquet and admires you greatly."

"When I said I was coming over, she practically begged me to take her with me. She insisted on seeing you!"

Jia Yin smiled and said to the round-faced girl, "Sister Tongyu is well, it's quite chaotic here today. When things calm down in a few days, I'll send you a post inviting you and Sister Gu to visit my county princess's mansion. Then, I'll pick some delicious fruits for you!"

"Great! Great!" said Kishima, nodding vigorously with excitement that couldn't be contained.

Gu Qingqing also saw Jia An, who was on the other side of the room. She quickly brought her sister over to pay their respects.

Thinking back to just now, when his little sister fell and Jia An held her in his arms, Gu Qingqing felt even more embarrassed.

"Fifth Young Master, thank you so much for your help just now. My sister... really owes you one!"

Home Security is an official position, but calling him "Sir" feels too formal. It's more appropriate to call him "Master" following the hierarchy of Jia Yin's family.

JIA AN bowed his hands in return, replying, "It's just a small favor, no need to be so polite."

Having said that, he didn't stay long. He gave his sister a word and then went busy with his work.

Tong Yu rested his chin on his crossed legs and gazed at his back figure, only to be pulled back by Gu Qingqing with a stern glare.

"What mischief have you gotten into again"

"No way!" Tongyu blushed, a rare occurrence for her. She replied softly, "I just saw that Fifth Young Master was so thin, but he had such great strength. He caught me just now with ease. I thought I was going to hit my head!"

Gu Qingqing has run out of insults!

The Gu family places the utmost importance on rules and regulations, especially for women.

She and her sisters grew up with their aunt, all learning to be quiet and gentle. Only this younger sister was born rebellious, seeming to have a few loose wires from childhood.

No matter how many times I copied the family rules or practiced the movements, I still couldn't fix this reckless and impulsive habit.

Or maybe this little sister just doesn't care about the rules at all...

Jia Yin couldn't bear to see her friend being driven to death by anger, and she also liked Tong Yu girl's lively and carefree nature.

She looked around and saw that there were too many refugees, and the sheds were not clean either.

So, she led them onto her own carriage.

Before going in, she took some sour plum soup and a plate of fruit from the space.

The cool and sweet sour plum soup tasted refreshing, and the three of them let out a long sigh of contentment.

Gǔ Qīngqīng couldn't help but sigh, "When I was at home, I thought the refugees would be pitiful. But now that I see it with my own eyes, it's really heartbreaking. I don't know when it will rain!"

Jia Yin nodded and replied, "At this time, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate! My second uncle and brother have been living here recently, and they will surely be able to settle the refugees soon."

Gu Qingqing's expression showed a hint of admiration as she said, "Just now my grandfather also said that your family has never competed for power, but has done a lot of practical things. Not to mention the changes in the relief office before and after, which is something many people can't do."

"So, my grandfather heard that your family was assigned the task of settling displaced people, so he immediately sent over five hundred dan of grain."

"Jia Yin quickly replied, 'On behalf of Second Uncle and the refugees, I thank Mr. Gu for his kindness and generosity. Food is indeed scarce right now. With these five hundred dan of grain, at least hundreds of lives will be saved!'"

Having said that, she took Gu Qingqing's hand and inquired about her health.

Gu Qingqing blushed a bit, but she still answered one by one and let Jia Yin take her pulse.

Before Dr. Zhang's treatment, my body was naturally in great condition.

Jiayin took out paper and pen from the dark compartment and wrote down two more nourishing medicinal recipes.

Gu Qingqing received the good news with great joy, then grabbed Jia Yin and told her about the recent happenings of Xu Xi and others.

Best friends who used to spend time together all the time are now married and trapped at home. They can no longer find the freedom and happiness they once had.

Those days of playing cards, eating fruit, and gossiping together have all become the most shining treasures in my memory.

Both of them felt a bit wistful.

Jia Yin then said, “In the future, we can still get together again. I'll think up some more delicious dishes and treat you all when the time comes.”

"Great!" Gu Qingqing readily agreed, genuinely praising him.

"Over the years, I've tasted a lot of good things. But your family's snacks and fruits are still the best!"

Their conversation was lively and cheerful, but when they turned around, they saw Tongyu leaning against the car window, peering intently, his body almost extending outside the window.

Gu Qingqing slapped him with all her might, "Next time, I won't bring you out again!"
