Chapter 184 Pretending to be Sick

In her previous life, Zhao Yinlian must have been involved in planning her death.

Zhou Baili has many evil intentions, but she is not cunning enough. She can't think of so many murderous ideas. Who else can give her advice? Of course, it is Zhou Baili's good mother, Zhao Yinlian!

Yin Yaoxin still wears the jade pendant on her body. Gu Siqing plays with it in her hand, a sinister look flashing in her eyes. She not only wants Zhou Baili's life, but also Zhao Yinlian's life!

"Cousin, are you asleep?" There were some noises coming from outside the window, mixed with Yin Miaoyin's furtive voice.

Gu Siqing hid the cruelty in his eyes and looked towards the window in confusion. Sure enough, he saw a figure reflected outside the window: "Why are you coming to my place so late instead of resting?"

Although she said that, she still asked Huasheng to go downstairs and prepare some snacks.

Knowing that Gu Siqing had not gone to bed, Yin Miaoyin did not hesitate to go around to the bedroom door and come in.

"Of course I couldn't sleep, so I came to talk to my cousin."

Yin Miaoyin sat down next to Gu Siqing, her brows tightly furrowed.

Gu Siqing glanced at her, guessed something, and said with a smile: "I heard that many young masters from aristocratic families are interested in marrying you?"

When Yin Miaoyin heard the word "marriage proposal", she covered her ears and said, "Sister, please stop talking. Those people are annoying. I'm not even old enough to get married, but they're testing me. Mother has to keep an eye on me."

"Come to think of it, among the young men from aristocratic families, you don't like any of them?" Gu Siqing leaned against her, and they often whispered intimately like this. Although they were cousins, their relationship was as close as real sisters.

Yin Miaoyin glared at Gu Siqing angrily: "I don't want to get married so soon, why would I go to see a young master?"

The girl's words were straightforward. Gu Siqing choked and found what she said very interesting.

Yin Miaoyin was loved by her parents and grandparents at home and had everything she needed, so naturally she didn't look forward to getting married soon.

But she was not in a hurry, while those families who wanted to marry daughters from prominent families were very anxious.

"Don't worry, although your aunt is keeping an eye on you, they won't really force you to get married unless you nod your head." Gu Siqing rubbed Yin Miaoyin's head to comfort her. Yin Miaoyin thought about it and felt better.

Gu Siqing was only thinking about comforting Yin Miaoyin, and never imagined that as the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yin, she was also a popular girl.

Many dignitaries originally wanted to marry Yin Miaoyin. Before Gu Siqing appeared, many of them tried their best to show off in front of her.

Yin Miaoyin is not yet of marriageable age, but if she falls in love with someone and arranges a marriage first, that would be a great thing. Unfortunately, Yin Miaoyin is still young, and the Xiangfu has not arranged a marriage for her, which shows that they don't want to marry her for the time being.

Gradually, many people began to think about Gu Siqing. After all, Gu Siqing was also the treasure of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Those noble sons thought it was not easy to marry Yin Miaoyin, a daughter of heaven, but it was more than enough to marry Gu Siqing. Gu Siqing was only the granddaughter of the prime minister, and her biological father was dead. She herself had been doing business to make a living, so it should not be difficult to marry her.

In this way, many families felt that they had a chance, and whenever they held a banquet, they would send invitations to Gu Siqing. Gu Siqing was reborn, and was actually unfamiliar with these roundabout thoughts, and did not know their purpose.

At first, when she was given an invitation, she would go, but soon she found that the person who invited her had more than simple intentions.

"Miss, this is an invitation from the Liang Mansion." Guihua handed the invitation back to her master.

Gu Siqing didn't even look at it, nor did she reach out to take it: "Put it away, and tell everyone tomorrow that I'm sick."

"Miss, you don't want to go? But before, when the various mansions sent you invitations, you were still very happy to go. Who bullied you at the banquet?"

Apart from this, Guihua couldn't think of any other reason that would make her master unwilling to attend these occasions.

"Who dares to bully me? Even if they look down on me, they will not offend the Prime Minister's Mansion." Gu Siqing did not like those people's calculations.

In fact, at the beginning, she still wanted to make friends with the children of officials. There was no harm in accumulating connections. She was considered an official of the prime minister's mansion, and making friends with people in the officialdom, as long as it was a normal relationship, would not harm the prime minister's mansion.

Later... when he found out the purpose of each family, Gu Siqing gave up. Guihua was smart and quickly understood what was going on. These people sent invitations to invite the master to come to see each other.

After that, Gu Siqing asked Guihua and Huasheng to refuse the invitations, saying first that she had caught a cold, then that she had a fever and that she would not be well for many days in a month. Gu Siqing's "illness" lasted for a month.

After finding that this trick was very effective, Gu Siqing would reject any invitations sent by someone with the same reason.

Anyway, she can wear men's clothes when going out. In the eyes of outsiders, the prime minister's granddaughter is frail and sickly, and has been bedridden for days with no signs of improvement.

She had a plan in her mind, but the elders in the prime minister's mansion didn't know what was going on, and they came to her room one after another to see her worriedly.

Later I found out that Gu Siqing was just pretending to be sick in order to avoid being invited, so I just let her be and even helped cover it up a little.

"I went to school for two days. When I came back, I learned that my sister was sick. I was worried and uneasy all the way. I didn't expect that my sister was just pretending to be sick." Yin Miaoyin rushed back from school and saw Gu Siqing eating fruit and reading a storybook in the house. She felt a little amused.

"How could I be sick? I'm just being lazy." Gu Siqing held the newly bought storybook in his arms, unable to take his eyes off it. Seeing Yin Miaoyin coming, he waved to her to sit over and talk.

In fact, she rarely has free time in a month. She has to check the accounts, talk about business, and deal with Chi Hongyuan.

As the boss, Gu Siqing is not a hands-off manager. She needs to think and screen where the shops under her name get their goods from and where the bulk goods are of better quality. This is enough for her to do.

Gu Siqing herself seldom has free time, so when she finds out that the people who invite her to a banquet are not sincere friends, she is unwilling to go to those occasions.

"I'm glad you're not sick. I hope you stay healthy forever. I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother first, and then come back to talk to my sister."

Yin Miaoyin stretched her body to loosen up her muscles, then stood up and left the house. In order to educate Yin Miaoyin well, Prime Minister Yin sent her to a school on the mountain near the capital when she was ten years old, and she had to stay in the mountain for half a month every month to study.

The teachers at the school were strict in teaching, and Yin Miaoyin herself lived up to expectations. Although she was naughty, her grades were always bad.

Gu Siqing thought that Yin Miaoyin would come later, so he asked Guihua to prepare some of her favorite snacks.

Guihua hadn't left yet when Gu Siqing heard footsteps outside the door. She thought it was Yin Miaoyin who had returned. "Why are you back?"

The two maids beside her also got along well with Yin Miaoyin. Guihua also thought it was Yin Miaoyin who came back. Just as she was about to say something funny, she looked towards the door with a smile, and her face changed slightly. She immediately restrained her expression and bowed, "Madam Zhen."
