Chapter 35 Deep Affection Between Master and Servant

"Little sister, are you telling the truth?"

Gu Yingjie's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if Gu Shuyan's statement that it was possible to win meant it was certain to win.

Before Gu Shuyan could agree, Gu Renjie slapped him on the head.

"You're not even sure yourself, yet you have the nerve to ask your sister."

Gu Yingjie felt very wronged after being slapped, but he didn't dare to fight back against his older brother, so he could only look at Gu Shuyan pitifully.

The latter simply waved his hand helplessly at her.

In fact, Gu Shuyan's statement that both of them could pass was not to comfort them. In her previous life, both of her older brothers did pass, although her second brother was last on the second-tier list, but that still counted as passing.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's have the food served!"

The old lady spoke up at the opportune moment, and immediately a maid brought in the food.

The family enjoyed the meal together happily, but Gu Yingxue was troubled and upset in the Snow Courtyard.

"Miss, would you like to sit down for a while?"

Chunxiang tried to persuade her, but Gu Yingxue couldn't sit still.

She couldn't feel at ease for a moment without seeing Chunyan.

"Go and see why Father hasn't sent anyone over yet."

Mentioning Gu Jinchunxiang's face turned pale. Because of Chunyan's accident, Gu Yingxue had forgotten about the return of the eldest and second young masters. And since Yunxiang Courtyard hadn't sent anyone to inform her young lady, Gu Yingxue was still unaware that they were having a family reunion dinner.

"I suppose the Marquis thinks it's still early! After all, it's a place like the yamen, the later the better."

Chunxiang hesitated for a long time, but in the end she still didn't tell anyone about what happened over there.

Her young mistress is already troubled enough. If she finds out about what happened at Yunxiang Courtyard, she'll probably feel even worse. It's better to keep it from her for now.

Gu Yingxue waited until nightfall, and only after most people had gone to sleep did Gu Jin send someone over.

Led by that man, Gu Yingxue arrived at the Shuntian Prefecture government office and entered the prison cell with almost no hindrance.

Seeing Chunyan, whom she almost didn't recognize after just one day, Gu Yingxue was stunned at first, then grabbed her hand and started crying.

"How did you get so badly injured? Did they beat you up?"

Gu Yingxue was absolutely certain that if it weren't for this, how could Chunyan be covered in blood?

"Don't worry, I will definitely get your father to rescue you, and I will never let anything happen to you."

Gu Yingxue was in tears, looking truly heartbroken. Seeing this, Chunyan raised her injured hand and gently patted her back, "Alright, you're such a grown woman, why are you still crying?"

Hearing this, Gu Yingxue not only did not stop crying, but instead threw herself into Chunyan's arms.

Chunyan comforted her while saying, "Miss, you must be careful of the eldest young lady when you go back. If I'm not mistaken, it may be the eldest young lady who actually killed her."

"What? How could this be?"

Gu Yingxue raised her head in disbelief.

Seeing that Gu Yingxue didn't believe her, Chunyan simply told Gu Yingxue what had happened during the day.

It turned out that Chunyan had first inquired about the man's preferences and address before going out in the morning, and then bought a jar of good wine on the street before heading to the man's house.

The place where the big man lived was very remote, narrow, and complicated. It was a well-known commoner area in the capital. After Chunyan arrived, she asked several people before she finally arrived at the big man's house.

Seeing the tightly closed door, Chunyan first knocked on it but received no answer. She then tentatively pushed the door, only to find that it was not closed at all.
