2103 Not even the criminals have it
Gu Xin continued,’I really admire you. I admire your forbearance, and I also admire your courage. You were thrown so far away, but you didn’t give up on yourself. Instead, you learned something. I didn’t act rashly after you showed your ability. That means you must have a plan in mind. Most men don’t even dare to be coroners, but you’ve been learning since you were young. My grandmother, my mother, and my sisters all told me that we women are not necessarily weaker than men in any matter. If men can do it, we women can do it too. My father and grandfather told me that in this world, it’s useless to rely on anyone. I have to rely on myself. Only when one’s ability was strong enough, would one not be bullied by others.
don’t worry. Gu Xin squeezed her hand. other than brother Yuan Yuan and I, no one else knows your true identity. I’m telling you this because I want to tell you that if you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me. Of course, if you don’t want me to interfere, I won’t meddle in your business.”
Zheng Qiu was still in a daze, but he looked much better than before.

Xiao Qiu, I think you’re that kind of person. I like you and I admire you. I want to be friends with you. That’s why I said I know about you. Actually, I know a lot of things about other people, but I don’t like them, so I just pretend not to know them.”
Zheng Qiu felt tears welling up in his eyes. In the past ten years, it was not that no one had acknowledged her, but no one had ever said such things to her like Gu Xin.
She didn’t have any female friends and Gu Xin was the first one to tell her that she wanted to be friends with her.
Zheng Qiu laughed with tears in his eyes. Hello, Gu Xin. I’m Zheng Qiu. It’s my honor to be friends with you.
thank you, miss Zheng, for treating me as a friend. Let’s go on a case together in the future! Gu Xin smiled.
Zheng Qiu wiped away his tears and nodded with a smile. “Good! I’ll be Princess Xinxin’s exclusive coroner in the future.”
Gu Xin laughed out loud, ” hahahaha, okay. In the future, we’ll definitely become the two legendary detectives of great Zhou. Wherever we are, there won’t be any criminals.
Zheng Qiu laughed along with him.
Then, she started talking about her family.
She was a girl from the residence of the Marquis of Yong ‘an. The current Marquis of Yong’ an was her biological father, but the current Madam of the Marquis of Yong ‘an was her stepmother. Her mother passed away after giving birth to her younger brother. She was only three years old that year. When her stepmother entered the family and gave birth to her son, she was taken away. She was six years old that year.
She escaped halfway, but she encountered a flood. She was washed away by the water and was saved by a coroner in a small county near the river in Jiangnan. That was her adoptive father.
Because her mother had passed away early, the maidservants in the manor were all talkative and no one cared about her. She had heard a lot of things, and she could remember things very early. Since she was adopted by her adoptive father, she would think about what she had heard every day, so it was impossible for her to have no memory.
Her mother had many dowries. Before she died, she asked the elders of the Zheng family to promise her that they would give her all the dowries when she got married.
In the end, after the stepmother married and gave birth to the child, something happened to her. The mother’s dowry was decided by the clan elders and left to her elder brother and younger brother. However, her elder brother broke his leg a few years ago and became depressed. Her younger brother was brought up wrongly by the stepmother and might have forgotten that he still had a mother, as well as an elder brother and elder sister.
