Chapter 218 Not even a maid is worthy

Xu Yunzhi turned to look at Gu Shuyan with a gentle smile on his face.

A smile from a beautiful woman can topple kingdoms and cities. Gu Shuyan thought that such a captivating smile might not even be found by the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Xu Yunzhi believed that no woman could escape his good looks.

“Young Master Xu is mistaken. I have come here today to inform you that I will investigate the matter I wish to know myself. As for your suggestion, I am sorry, but I cannot agree to it.”

Xu Yunzhi never expected Gu Shuyan to give such an answer. Wasn't she afraid that those people would harm the Yi'an Marquis's mansion?

He thought Gu Shuyan would compromise for her family, but unfortunately he underestimated the woman in front of him.

"Since Miss Gu believes she can find out, then I wish her success. However, I believe that one day Miss Gu will come to me again."

After Xu Yunzhi finished speaking, he did not keep Gu Shuyan any longer, but had someone send her out directly.

There's plenty of time; he's not in a hurry.

Gu Shuyan left Wangjiang Tower with great ease, but returning to the Marquis's residence was indeed a headache.

With Aunt Zhang's death, the trail went cold. How could she possibly continue the investigation? Fortunately, she wasn't completely clueless. Remembering what Ji Wenxuan had told her, perhaps she could start from there.

"Tell Chunxiang to hurry up and send her to see the Crown Prince in a few days."

Gu Shuyan couldn't wait any longer, so after thinking for a moment, she simply called Xu Feng over.

Xu Feng received instructions and immediately went to the small house where Chunxiang was temporarily staying.

As soon as Chunxiang saw Xu Feng come in, her eyes lit up. Ignoring the dance her mother had made her practice, she skipped over in a few steps.

"Brother Xu, you're here? Did you bring this for me?"

Seeing what Xu Feng was holding, Chunxiang took it from him immediately. Her expression of delight made it clear to anyone that she had fallen for Xu Feng.

However, facing Chunxiang's smiling face, Xu Feng simply nodded: "You hurry up and prepare. The meeting gift will be ready in a few days. Whether you can win the Crown Prince's favor depends on you."

Chunxiang, who was overjoyed, froze for a moment upon hearing this, but only for a moment, before she regained her joyful expression.

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I'll make the most of my time to practice and won't let you down."

Chunxiang gazed at Xu Feng with longing in her eyes.

She knew that with her status, she wasn't even worthy of being a maidservant to Brother Xu, but she still craved the man in front of her.

Recalling the days of suffering after being sold by Li Yingxue, she knew that if it weren't for the handsome man in front of her, she would have been tortured to death by those people sooner or later.

And this man appeared before her like a god. He redeemed her from her servitude, healed her wounds, and bought her delicious food. Although all of this was to get her into the Crown Prince's residence, she did it willingly.

"I'll head back now if there's nothing else. Remember to eat the roast chicken I brought you."

After Xu Feng finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Chunxiang standing there blankly.

Not far away, Mingyu stood in a corner, quietly staring at Xu Feng as he approached.

"Looks like you're quite good at taking care of people."

Mingyu looked up at Xu Feng, remembering that Xu Feng had specially bought roast chicken before they came, and couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Xu Feng felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, so he simply changed the subject and asked, "So, do you think she can really catch the Crown Prince's eye?"

Xu Feng didn't approve of Gu Shuyan's decision from the bottom of his heart, but he still couldn't help but worry.
