Chapter 511 What to do

What are you doing?

Gu Shuyan looked at the group of people climbing up the ladder and asked them a question.

"Miss, Madam instructed us to hang these lanterns up." The servant said, pointing to several large red lanterns beside him, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Weren't these lanterns just hung up? Why do we have to change them again?"

After Gu Yuhe passed away, the Gu family hung white lanterns all over the mansion for her funeral. The lanterns were replaced after the seventh day after the funeral, but they were only hung for a few days before they had to be replaced again.

"Miss, have you forgotten that your wedding is just around the corner!"

Pearl looked at Gu Shuyan, who looked puzzled, and couldn't help but remind her.

Gu Shuyan then realized that ever since she returned from offering incense, she had been in a daze and had even forgotten such an important matter.

"Then you guys hang up, remember to hang up the Yun family's too, they're short-staffed and probably can't handle it."

Gu Shuyan finished speaking casually and left with her entourage, leaving the servants behind bewildered.

It's one thing for this young lady to meddle in her own family's affairs, but why is she meddling in the lanterns of the Yun family? She's not even married yet, so why is she acting like she's in charge of someone else's household? Doesn't she worry that her future husband will find her meddling too much?

The servants muttered to themselves, but since they had already been given the order, they couldn't disobey their master's wishes!

So, after replacing all the lanterns in the Gu residence with bright red ones, the group marched in a grand procession directly to the Yun residence.

The servant of the Yun family scurried to open the door when he heard it open, but his legs nearly went weak with fright when he saw the group of people. After all, there were quite a few of them, and they were carrying ladders and ropes; their presence was enough to terrify him.

"My lord, my lord, someone's here."

Before the servant could even ask what these people were doing there, he took off running towards Yun Yichen's study.

"What's going on?" Zhong Lin saw the servant about to rush into the room and quickly stopped him.

This servant boy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He hadn't been in the manor for very long, otherwise, why would he dare to rush into Yun Yichen's room?

"Lord Zhong, I have something else to report to you."

The servant blinked innocently, looking at Zhong Lin with teary eyes.

He was still just a child, yet he looked at Zhong Lin with such eyes. Zhong Lin suddenly felt a pang of pity and almost let the servant pass by.

If Zhong Lin hadn't been quick enough to pull him back, he believed that this seemingly cute little boy would have been lying on the ground crying for his mother by now.

"If you have something to say, tell me. Aren't you afraid the adults will kill you if you barge in like this?"

Zhong Lin's words were not an exaggeration. The servant shuddered after hearing them and dared not run any further inside.

Swallowing hard, Yun Yichen stammered out the story to Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin first told him to go back before telling Yun Yichen that someone had come to cause trouble.

However, when Yun Yichen arrived at the front yard with a cold face, he saw not only no shouting or smashing, but also that big red lanterns had been hung up.

"What's going on here?" Zhong Lin was bewildered. Weren't those people supposed to be looking for trouble? How did it turn out like this? Someone tell him what exactly happened.

"Young master, these were hung up by Miss." The leader saw Yun Yichen and quickly turned around to bow and report to him.

"Hmm." Yun Yichen nodded without giving any further response, but looking at the big red lanterns hanging on the door, he was overjoyed.

He had originally planned to prepare for the wedding in a couple of days, but he hadn't expected Gu Shuyan to be so impatient, sending people to hang lanterns right away. This little girl really liked him; she clung to him the first time they met and wouldn't let go, and now she was even more eager to marry him.

As a result, the Grand Secretary became narcissistic and took Gu Shuyan's casual instruction as an expression of her affection for him.

Achoo!

At the same time, Gu Shuyan sneezed, and looking at the bright red robe placed on the table, her head felt like it was spinning.

"Miss, have you caught a cold?" Yufei looked over worriedly, but Gu Shuyan waved her hand.

"With the wedding date approaching, when will it be finished embroidering this wedding dress?" Gu Shuyan was a little worried.

Upon hearing this, Yu Fei glanced at the red robe on the table, which was only embroidered with a thin line, and could only wave her hand helplessly.

Ever since the engagement, they had asked Gu Shuyan to prepare her wedding dress in advance, but at that time Gu Shuyan had no interest in embroidery and simply refused to do anything. Now that the wedding date is just around the corner, there's nothing they can do but worry.

"Why don't we hire a few embroiderers to do the embroidery?" Pearl suggested.

Gu Shuyan shook her head. "I can hire an embroiderer for mine, but it wouldn't be appropriate for Brother Yun to hire one too!"

It would be incredibly disgraceful for a woman to have even her future husband's wedding dress embroidered by someone else. Besides, Gu Shuyan was originally a seamstress; it was simply unacceptable that she couldn't even handle such a simple task.

So, Gu Shuyan gritted her teeth and ordered, "Go and find a few more candles. I refuse to believe that a simple wedding dress can stump me."

Gu Shuyan stayed up very late that night, and Yufei and Zhenzhu stayed with her until midnight before they both fell asleep.

Gu Shuyan looked at the half-thread in her hand, a wave of sleepiness washing over her, and she couldn't help but yawn. Just as she was about to finish embroidering with the remaining thread, someone grabbed her hand that was holding the needle.

Gu Shuyan turned around and saw that the person who came was none other than Yun Yichen.

"Brother Yun, why are you still up so late?" Gu Shuyan asked, her eyes still sleepy and looking quite tired.

Seeing this, Yun Yichen's already cold and handsome face darkened even more, and his elegant face revealed a hint of displeasure. "You still ask me why I'm not asleep?"

"I'm rushing to finish my wedding dress!" Gu Shuyan didn't notice Yun Yichen's displeasure. All she wanted to do was finish the embroidery as soon as possible and then go to sleep.

"Rushing to get a wedding dress?" Yun Yichen glanced at the red robe, his expression turning even uglier.

He and she set a wedding date not so that the little girl would stay up all night. If she ruined her eyes because of it, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

So Yun Yichen forcefully snatched the embroidery needle from Gu Shuyan's hand, picked her up horizontally, and walked directly to the bedside without saying a word.

"Brother Yun, what are you doing?"

Although the two of them often had their moments of affection, this was the first time she had been picked up like this. Gu Shuyan's sleepiness vanished instantly the moment Yun Yichen lifted her up.

"What are you going to do? What do you mean by 'what'?"

After Yun Yichen calmed down, a triumphant smile appeared on his face. His roguish appearance made him look like a lecherous rogue.

"Put me down quickly, I can walk by myself." Gu Shuyan panicked and struggled to jump down.
