Luo Qi had always been on the verge of breaking down. She did not seem to have slept much last night. When she found out that her mother had passed away early in the morning, she collapsed. As she cried, she fainted.

Gu Yundong carried her to the bed next to her to sleep. As Luo Qi was worried about Gu Yuwen, who was sick, she also slept here. There were two beds in the room.

After covering Luo Qi with a blanket, she said to an auntie beside her, "Auntie, please take care of her."

The auntie was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

Only then did Gu Yundong walk to the door and look at Shao Qingyuan, who had been standing there.

Shao Qingyuan nodded. "I’ll get someone to help." With that, he turned around and left.

At this moment, an auntie came over and looked suspiciously at Gu Yundong. "Madam... Madam, may I ask who you are..."

Gu Yundong said, "I’m Gu Yuwen’s friend. When she was alive, she entrusted Luo Qi to me. I’ll try my best to settle her funeral. However, I’ll have to trouble all my neighbors to help me let her leave in peace."

"Of course, of course. Yuwen had a hard time before. Now that she’s gone, we’ll help her if we can."

"Yuwen entrusted Luo Qi to you?" Someone heaved a sigh of relief. "That’s a good thing. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for a child like her to stay in such a place."

"That’s right, that’s right. We were worried about Qi."

As they spoke, they sized up Gu Yundong. She looked like a rich woman and did not look like the family of a prisoner on the island. Also, the man just now looked so imposing that no one dared to approach him. He might be an official.

With them supporting Luo Qi, even if the Liu family took a fancy to Luo Qi, they would not dare to offend them.

No matter what, it was a good thing for Luo Qi.

Everyone was relieved and began to set up the mourning hall for the Luo family.

When the three Gu family members arrived late, they saw that the Luo family was filled with people.

Madam Song pursed her lips. These people were really nosy.

She whispered into Gu Yiping’s ear, "If Yuwen leaves, we’ll be Luo Qi’s only family. I heard that the young master of the Liu family has taken a fancy to the little girl. Do you think we should talk to the Liu family and ask them to give us more money before giving Luo Qi to him?"

Gu Yiping frowned. "That girl is only eight years old."

"It’s precisely because she’s eight years old that Young Master Liu has taken a fancy to her. When she’s nine or ten years old, do you think Young Master Liu will still want her? Don’t be silly. Luo Qi lost her parents and might still cling to us. Isn’t it good that she has a place to go now? Besides, we can return to the capital soon. If we don’t have some money on hand, where will we live when we go back? Don’t tell me our entire family will be stranded on the streets?"

Hearing this, Gu Yiping immediately stopped talking.

After a while, he said, "Don’t mention this first. We’ll talk about it after Young Master Shao and the others leave. Treat Little Qi better these two days. You have to put on a show."

"Hey, no problem. When we go back later, I’ll ask our son to go and talk to Young Master Liu about the price."

"Yeah."

Madam Mao couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Yesterday, Luo Qi had just overturned a table of poisonous food and wine to save the family. Today, the two old farts were discussing how to sell her immediately when her mother was gone.

Their conscience had really been eaten by dogs.

However, this had nothing to do with her. In any case, she had a share in the money she had obtained. Since she had obtained benefits, there was no need to pretend to be a saint. She would not interfere.
