Chapter 93 Reunion with Ouyang Jing

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Gu Shuyan patted Mingyu's shoulder reassuringly. She had been waiting for this day for too long, and she only hoped that the person receiving her gift wouldn't be too 'grateful' to her.

“Miss, that’s not what I’m worried about.”

Mingyu wasn't worried about whether things could be accomplished; she was worried about whether her young mistress would be implicated.

If Gu Yingxue were to do such a thing at the Duke of Anguo's mansion, she would lose her good reputation, which would also affect her young mistress.

Gu Shuyan, however, clearly didn't care about this matter at all.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look ahead."

As Gu Shuyan spoke, she walked towards the outer courtyard of the Duke of Anguo's mansion where guests were being entertained. No one noticed that not far away, a man slowly pushed a wheelchair out.

"Young Master, are you really going to help Miss Gu?"

Two days ago, a box of pastries was suddenly delivered to the manor, said to be a thank-you gift for the young master.

Duke Anguo saw that it was just a box of pastries and didn't think much of it, so he had someone send it to Luo Yu directly.

To everyone's surprise, a letter addressed to Luo Yu was found tucked underneath the pastries.

"Since we've already promised, we must keep our word."

Luo Yu looked completely at ease, and Xu Feng couldn't help but think to himself: Master, are you really not doing this because you have ulterior motives?

If Gu Yingxue's reputation is ruined, what good will Gu Shuyan, as the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion, get?

Speaking of this young lady, she didn't seem stupid before. Didn't she know how much this would affect her?

However, none of these things concerned Xu Feng. What he cared about most was whether his master would use this opportunity to propose marriage to the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion, and whether Gu Shuyan would truly become the young master's Achilles' heel.

"Get ready, I'm going to the front yard."

Luo Yu suddenly spoke up, and Xu Feng immediately objected, "Your Highness, you mustn't."

"Xu Feng, you think you can make decisions for me now?"

Luo Yu's somewhat displeased voice rang out, and Xu Feng, even if unwilling, had no choice but to do as he was told.

Gu Shuyan led Mingyu to the front yard, where she watched the young ladies she knew or didn't know chatting with each other. Just as she was thinking of finding a place to sit down, she saw a girl in green walking towards her.

"You're too kind, Miss Gu."

The woman slightly curtsied to Gu Shuyan, "Thanks to Miss Gu for reminding me about what happened that day, otherwise..."

Ouyang Jing didn't finish her sentence, but Gu Shuyan understood.

Ouyang Jing probably didn't want to have any connection with the royal family, but her family wanted her to marry into wealth, so they set a trap for her that day.

"Miss Ouyang, you're too kind. I was really grateful for the information you gave me that day. Besides, I'm just glad you don't mind me meddling."

Gu Shuyan wasn't really sure what Ouyang Jing was thinking that day; she just casually mentioned it because of the kindness she had shown in her past life. Little did she expect that Ouyang Jing had actually been tricked.

"Did Madam Ouyang make things difficult for you when you went back that day?"

Seeing Ouyang Jing's unwell expression, Gu Shuyan asked with some concern.

"It's alright, Father and Mother were just getting angry, it's nothing serious."

Ouyang Jing spoke casually, as if she hadn't been punished at all, but Gu Shuyan had no reason to believe her.

Originally, Ouyang Jing was just an orphan, and a legitimate daughter who had lost her mother and was now struggling to survive under her stepmother's care. Gu Shuyan didn't believe that her stepmother would not torment her when she went against the family's wishes.
