Chapter 526 Concubine

She knew that she had developed feelings for Gu Renjie that she shouldn't have, but the difference in their social status was too great, so even if she liked him very much, she could only show a calm demeanor.

The two sat on opposite sides of the road, neither disturbing the rare tranquility.

When Gu Shuyan woke up, she was lying in bed. As soon as the two maids in front of her saw that she was awake, they rushed forward to help her get up.

Gu Shuyan wanted to shake off the two men, but she had no strength at all and could only let them dress and wash her.

Where is this place?

Seeing that she had been dressed and made up, Gu Shuyan finally asked the question she wanted to ask.

"Madam, this is a villa outside the city."

The maidservant answered respectfully, but there was no difference between answering and not answering.

It seemed she wouldn't get anything out of the two maids. The masked man who had brought her last night hadn't shown up, so she could only look around and assess the surroundings.

"Could you help me go for a walk?" Gu Shuyan could only sit up on her own; she couldn't even walk, so she could only place her hopes on these two young maids.

"Madam, Master is coming over to have breakfast with you in a little while, so let's talk about it when he arrives!"

The maidservant had a smile on her face, but she showed no intention of paying any attention to Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan was furious, but she didn't know anything about the situation. Even if she wanted to be angry, she needed the energy to do so.

Fuming with anger, Gu Shuyan smiled at the two of them and simply remained silent, silently observing Cheng She's surroundings.

The room looks quite exquisitely decorated, and the porcelain on the shelves is all very valuable. The jewelry on the dressing table is also in the latest and most fashionable styles.

This suggests that the person who kidnapped her is either very wealthy or powerful. Considering those who secretly plotted against her, could it be that Lu Yuanbin was the one who abducted her?

As Gu Shuyan was thinking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.

"Madam, you cannot enter."

The maid tried to stop him, but was pushed aside by the newcomer.

Gu Shuyan looked in the direction of the light and saw a woman in brocade robes pushing aside the people blocking her way and walking in.

"You little slut, get out of my way. I want to see who this lady who came last night is."

Gu Shuyan frowned almost imperceptibly as she listened to the woman's voice, because she seemed to recognize the voice.

Just as Gu Shuyan couldn't remember who it was, a familiar face appeared before her eyes, "Yan Meier!"

Gu Shuyan didn't expect to see Yan Meier here, and Yan Meier also didn't expect to see Gu Shuyan. When their eyes met, Yan Meier was stunned for a moment.

"So this is the lady? It turns out to be Miss Gu. What? Didn't I hear you were going to marry that Ghost-Faced Yama? How come you've seduced my man? You're really shameless. I wonder how that unlucky Ghost-Faced Yama feels when he finds out he's been cuckolded."

Yan Meier's eyes were full of disdain. She had previously thought that by attaching herself to Gu Shuyan, she could climb to a high position.

She didn't even realize she had almost died until Lu Youming recounted the events of that day to her, at which point she finally understood that she had been tricked by Gu Shuyan from beginning to end.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet, and Yan Meier felt just that way when she saw Gu Shuyan, so she used the most offensive words to provoke Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan didn't care about Yan Meier's part about herself, but when it came to Yun Yichen's part, Gu Shuyan's anger flared up.

Although she was angry with Yun Yichen and even said yesterday that she wanted to break off the engagement, who did Yan Meier think she was to dare speak ill of Yun Yichen?

Whether Yun Yichen is a good person or not, he used me, but it's not up to a toad who's always trying to climb the social ladder to judge.

“Miss Yan, oh no, I should call you Madam Yan now. After all, that battle between one woman and two men at the teahouse last time was quite spectacular. If I wasn’t worried about offending my eyes, I would have loved to see it. But I remember that Young Master Luo was beaten to death and Young Master Sun was in the capital. I wonder which man was so unscrupulous as to marry you as his wife?”

Gu Shuyan's words were no less sharp than Yan Meier's. That day, it was clearly only Luo Hao, yet Gu Shuyan still managed to say that one woman was fighting two men.

Yan Meier knew the situation and naturally didn't believe it, but the maids present were unaware of the truth. Upon hearing this, their gazes towards Yan Meier changed.

They all thought that this concubine was brought back because of her beauty and the master's favor, but now it seems that Yan Meier is no different from the girls in the brothel.

A disdainful gaze instantly fell on Yan Meier's face. Yan Meier was furious. Looking at Gu Shuyan sitting in the main seat with that arrogant attitude, how could Yan Meier tolerate it? She rushed towards Gu Shuyan.

However, the two maids beside Gu Shuyan were not to be trifled with. As soon as they saw Yan Meier about to make a move, they immediately stood in front of Gu Shuyan and slapped Yan Meier back several steps.

"You lowly servants, how dare you hit me?"

Yan Meier looked at the two maids, waved her hand, and ordered the people behind her, "Drag these two lowly maids out and give them twenty lashes."

As soon as Yan Meier finished speaking, none of the people behind her moved. Gu Shuyan couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sight.

"So this is all Madam Yan is capable of? I thought he was so fond of you that he could fake your death and escape this calamity! But it turns out he's nothing special. He seems to care more about me than me!"

Gu Shuyan continued to provoke them, and the two maids couldn't help but turn around and glance at her after hearing her words.

Yan Meier looked at Gu Shuyan's deliberately raised chin, and all reason vanished from her heart. That man had clearly said he loved her, clearly said he couldn't live without her. Every night he would hold her and stay up very late before falling asleep. How could he not hold a place in his heart as important as Gu Shuyan?

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense. I'll tear your mouth apart."

Having lost her mind, Yan Meier, with strength she didn't know she came from, actually rushed straight to Gu Shuyan.

Just as those hands were about to grab Gu Shuyan's face, a dignified voice came from outside.

"Stop! You dare touch a single hair on her head!"

Yan Meier was all too familiar with the man's voice, especially this cold and piercing voice, which made her shiver.

Gu Shuyan stared coldly at the door, at the man who had suddenly appeared, and sneered, "You finally decided to come out? What, are you afraid she'll ruin my face?"
