Dream of the Red Chamber: I can see the hidden labels of the beauties.

Hearing Xiangling ask for his opinion, Jia Can was naturally pleased, feeling that his efforts in relaying the message had not been in vain. However, he also respected Xiangling even more and replied:

"Whether you stay or leave is your own decision. If you want my advice, I certainly think it's best for you to leave with the sisters."

"Given that the Gu family has persisted in searching for you for over a decade, they will definitely treat you well and won't mistreat you. It's far better than you being a maid in the Xue family."

"If you are willing to leave, I will plead with the Xue family on your behalf. Sister Baochai is not a stubborn or inflexible person. I think she will grant your request once she learns of the situation."

Upon hearing this, Xiangling felt somewhat confused.

Over the years, she had gradually become familiar with and settled down as a maid in the Xue family. Xue Baochai treated her well, but she was occasionally harassed and bullied by Xue Pan. However, she gradually accepted her fate, which was much better than being sold back and forth before.

Hearing that I can suddenly escape this cage and live a free and pampered life feels unreal, leaving me feeling lost and uneasy.

It was also because she didn't want to adapt to other environments again. She felt that the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were good enough, and she was happy to live in such a mansion, even if she was just a lowly maid.

The deeper reason was that she preferred to stay by Jia Can's side, even if it was just to serve him tea and water. However, she naturally couldn't say this to Jia Can's face.

He appeared quite conflicted and hesitant for a moment, remaining silent for a long time.

Jia Can scrutinized her for a moment, guessing that she might still have some concerns, and then said:

"Xiangling, you don't need to rush to give me an answer. You can think it over carefully. Once you've figured it out, come find me anytime. You can take my advice as a reference, but you don't have to do what I say. You have to follow your own ideas so that you won't regret it later."

"But whatever you choose, I will support you!"

Hearing this, Xiangling was even more moved. She gazed at Jia Can, wanting to express her thoughts, but because of shame, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and only hummed in response, forgetting even to say thank you.

Jia Can knew that her thoughts were in turmoil, and then said softly:

"Think this through carefully yourself. Go ahead. If Baochai asks you what I told you, you can tell her the truth. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can say that I only came to ask you about the things that happened in the south back then. Just tell me the specific questions..."

As he spoke, he taught Xiangling some conversation techniques.

Xiangling listened attentively and took it to heart. She was even more touched by Jia Can's thoughtfulness, which showed her such meticulous consideration. She felt even more strongly that coming to Jia Can's side would be her best destiny!

After carefully observing Jia Can for a moment, he respectfully curtsied in thanks:

"This servant will remember it. Thank you, Second Master. I will always remember your kindness."

Jia Can waved his hand slightly: "Don't take it to heart. Speaking of which, I might need your help in the future, so please don't refuse."

Xiangling paused for a moment, then shook her head violently:

"If you have any requests or instructions, please just tell me. How could I refuse you? I will do whatever I can for you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Can's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes filled with satisfaction:

"Okay, then it's settled. Let's go."

Xiangling exchanged a glance with him, and her heart was filled with sweetness. Whether it was because she was infected by Jia Can's smile or for something else, she smiled sweetly, gave a curtsy, and then left with light steps.

Jia Can watched her leave, a smug smile playing on his lips. With this promise, it would be perfectly logical for him to use Xiang Ling's help in the future.

After pondering for a moment, he went to the study.

Upon entering, one would see Gu Fangling still sitting quietly in her chair, while Gu Fangrui had already sat down at her desk, writing something with her pen.

Seeing Jia Can enter, Gu Fangrui hurriedly put down her pen and crumpled the paper on the table into a ball, pretending that nothing had happened.

Gu Fangling quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Young Master Jia."

Jia Can glanced at the two sisters and thought that their personalities were completely different; one was quiet and composed, while the other was lively and cheerful. She smiled and waved her hand.

"Please sit down. I explained your background and purpose to Xiangling. She still finds it hard to believe, after all, she was young when she was abducted and had no idea that her family had any connection with your Gu family."

"However, after some persuasion, she gradually accepted it, but she still has some concerns and needs time to think it over. So the two young ladies will have to wait a while."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fangling's face lit up with joy, and she quickly cupped her hands in thanks:

"Thank you for your persuasion, young master. Our entire Gu family is deeply grateful for your kindness. We are truly grateful for your help. From now on, please feel free to give us any orders, and our Gu family will never refuse!"

"As for waiting for some time, we are naturally willing to wait. My father has been searching for Miss Zhen for more than ten years. Now that we have found her, a little time is nothing. We can wait no matter how long it takes."

As they were talking, Gu Fangrui sneaked back to Gu Fangling's side, her head slightly lowered, as if she had done something wrong.

Jia Can saw it clearly and found it amusing. He glanced at Gu Fangrui, then looked at Gu Fangling, and continued:

"Alright, since you put it that way, I won't say any more. However, I must remind you that if Xiangling ultimately decides not to go with you, you must not force her. Otherwise, it would go against your original intention."

Gu Fangling replied, "What you say is absolutely right, young master. We should respect Miss Zhen's own wishes. Our Gu family would never force anyone to do anything against their will."

"However, Miss Zhen is now just a maid in the Xue family and is not living a good life. We still hope that she can come with us. We ask that you, young master, help persuade her."

Jia Can nodded slightly: "I will try my best to persuade her, but ultimately it depends on her own wishes. I can't guarantee that she will choose to go with you. Please be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fangling and Gu Fangrui exchanged a glance and responded in unison:

"Thank you very much, young master. Regardless of the outcome, the Gu family will always be grateful for your kindness and will certainly repay you handsomely in the future!"

After saying this, the two bid farewell to Jia Can.

Jia Can seemed to remember something and waved his hand, saying:

"I heard from my servants that the two young ladies are staying at an inn outside the city. The round trip is quite a long way. If you don't mind, you can stay at our residence for the time being. If there is any further news, you will be able to get it in time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Fangrui clapped her hands and cheered:

"Yes, thank you, young master!"

Gu Fangling glared at her, then quickly replied:

"How could we possibly accept this? Young master has already helped us so much; how could we possibly trouble you at your residence..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Can interrupted him:

"It's nothing. Our mansion has many guest rooms, and they're just sitting empty anyway. It would be more lively if the two young ladies stayed here. If you don't mind, then it's settled."

"I'll have someone go to the inn where you're staying to retrieve your belongings and luggage, so you won't have to go through the trouble of making the trip back and forth again."

After saying this, without caring what the sisters thought, Jia Can immediately made some arrangements. On one hand, he had the maid lead the sisters to the guest room to rest, and on the other hand, he arranged for the servant to go outside the city to fetch the sisters' bags and luggage.
