A petite girl, about thirteen years old, came over with a smile and a little maid.
She has a soft appearance and a kind smile on her quiet face.
When Xie Yinxiang saw her, he also smiled lightly and said, "Zi Rou, are you coming out for a walk too?"
Saying that, Xie Yinxiang turned to Gu Nuo'er and said, "Nuo'er, this is Jiang Mansion's little cousin, Cao Zirou."
Gu Nuo'er looked at her a little strangely, and only responded with a sweet smile and nodded.
However, Cao Zirou had obviously heard of the princess's name, and she bowed with respect.
Later, Cao Zirou said to Xie Yinxiang: "The weather is nice today, and my cousin is about to die soon, so I went out to look around and see what gifts I can buy him."
"Sister Yinxiang, are you also going to pick out a gift for your cousin?"
The two sentences she said didn't sound strange at first.
But for some reason, when Gu Nuoer's eyes were focused on her, he felt the light and shadow flickering in front of his eyes.
After that, you can see a weird smile on Cao Zirou's lips, and the calculating look in his eyes is extremely obvious!
Gu Nuoer frowned slightly.
She looked at Xie Yinxiang beside her, as if she couldn't see the look on Cao Zirou's face.
Xie Yinxiang said unsuspectingly: "I was just about to go..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Gu Nuoer grabbed Xie Yinxiang's wrist.
The little girl's eyes were sparkling and dark, and she said coquettishly: "Sister Yinxiang, let's hurry up. If it's too late, even I won't be able to grab the pastries in the shop!"
Xie Yinxiang and Cao Zirou both had a meal.
Cao Zirou was the first to laugh and said: "It turns out that Sister Yinxiang and Her Royal Highness Princess have other things to do, so I will take my leave first."
With that said, she bowed her head respectfully to Gu Nuoer, and left with her maid accompanying her.
Gu Nuoer kept her sweet smile, but her watery eyes looked deeply at her back.
Xie Yinxiang asked curiously from the side: "Nuo'er, do we need to go to the sugar shop first?"
Gu Nuoer looked away, took her arm, and said with a smile: "Go and sit in my shop first. The old master has developed a new pastry flavor, and I want to invite you to try it."
Xie Yunxiang didn't have any objections.
Just think it was Gu Nuoer's sudden whim.
As the two of them were walking on the road to the Four Seasons Candy Shop, Gu Nuoer asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Sister Yinxiang, how did you and Miss Cao know each other?"
"Is she from our capital? Why have I never seen her before?"
Xie Yinxiang answered with a smile: "Zirou came to Beijing only three months ago. She just went out of mourning period recently, so she doesn't go out much. Nuo'er has never seen her, but to be honest, she is also a poor person."
"Her mother is Mrs. Jiang's cousin. Strictly speaking, she can only be a distant relative of the Jiang family. However, her parents and that family are all dead."
"Before her mother died, she wrote a letter of entrustment, asking Mrs. Jiang, whom she had never met, to take care of her. Otherwise, Zirou, a little girl, would live on the streets."
Gu Nuoer was confused: "But didn't Mrs. Jiang pass away long ago?"
Xie Yinxiang nodded: "So, Mr. Jiang handed the letter to Mrs. Jiang and asked her to make the decision on her behalf. After all, for the Jiang family, accepting one person is just more food."
Gu Nuoer blinked her long eyelashes in understanding: "So she was left like this? But I see that her relationship with Sister Yinxiang is better than that with her cousin Hualuobo!"
Xie Yinxiang narrowed her eyes and smiled, and covered her lips gently: "Last time in Jiang Mansion, Zi Rou helped me out of trouble, and that's how we got to know each other."
