Gu An'an, who didn't want to become such a sought-after commodity, was at a loss with the two children.
"What would you like to eat, Princess? Why don't you make a list? I need to see if I can cook it."
"Do whatever you're good at. I can do anything. I'm not picky about food." She's always had a good appetite since she was little. Her mother said she doesn't seem like royalty at all.
Chen Bei suggested, "Sister Gu's Golden Jade Abundance is excellent; the Princess must try it."
Although Princess Linglong didn't really want to cut off Chen Bei's head, she couldn't help but retort after hearing this, "Of course I know, Gu An'an told me that she started her business with Jin Yu Man Tang."
She still wanted to possess this beautiful face, but Gu An'an was right. What if she saw an even more beautiful face in the future? Would she still possess it?
She's such a greedy little girl.
She abandoned the sapling and turned back to embrace the whole forest; she decided not to hold a grudge against Chen Bei.
From now on, I'll just quietly admire Chen Bei's face.
However, we still have to fight for what we should fight for, otherwise Chen Bei will really think that we are guilty.
Gu An'an ultimately didn't go to either of them. The reason was simple: Zhao Qianqian, who had gone out to eat, drink, and have fun, came back and said, "I have a place to stay in the capital. You can come to my place."
This is the best place to go.
Having arranged to meet the day after tomorrow, Princess Linglong left happily.
Chen Bei knew that Gu An'an was alright, so he didn't stay there for long.
He hadn't expected his family to target him like this. He was afraid that if he stayed here too long, Gu An'an would be schemed against by his grandfather and the others again, which would turn out to be his fault.
Seeing that the lively atmosphere had vanished the moment she returned, Zhao Qianqian felt she was a master of creating awkward silences.
Gu An'an changed the subject, "Since you have a house, why are you still living in an inn?"
The inn was a mixed bag of people, not a good place for a young lady of such wealth.
"It's so nice to stay in an inn. It's so boring to be cooped up at home. I've finally come out for a while, I can't just stay here like a caged bird, can I?"
These words saddened Gu An'an. "Yes, freedom is more precious to you than gold and silver."
Zhao Qianqian didn't listen carefully, but when she heard the word "gold and silver jewelry," she immediately became interested.
"I want to go to those jewelry shops to have some jewelry made. Gu An'an, do you want some? I'll give it to you."
"I'm happy, no amount of money can buy this." She had an incredibly fun time with Gu An'an this time, and giving Gu An'an jewelry was nothing compared to that.
"You can do it yourself, I don't need it."
"Why don't you need to? You're still young. You can still marry well if you dress up a bit. Don't think too much about it. If all else fails, I'll have my dad find you some promising young men."
I'm sure her dad would be happy to help.
Gu An'an was amused by this, "Be careful your father doesn't marry you off first."
"No, my father is still hoping that I will stay at home and work as his lucky charm to earn money, so he can't bear to let me get married."
Although Gu An'an had heard about this before, she was still stunned when she heard this.
Master Zhao did love his daughter, but how much of that love was genuine?
"Actually, you don't need to pity me. I think it's fine this way. When a woman goes to her husband's house, she has to give birth and go through the ordeal of death, and she also has to serve her in-laws. Who knows, her husband might turn around and favor his concubine over his wife. It's better to stay at home and be carefree. At least my dad will give me countless pocket money. Whatever I want to eat or want, he will get it for me."
Zhao Qianqian was very open-minded. Her mother and father had argued about this a lot, and she had seen her mother talking about it with the nanny around her.
I've been heartbroken, but I also know that it's no use being heartbroken.
I might as well be her lucky charm.
Anyway, they live a better life than most people.
"Contentment brings happiness. Sometimes you have to make some choices. It's good that you can think positively about it."
Zhao Qianqian said smugly, "That's right, I'm very open-minded, so I never hesitate to ask my dad for money."
The young woman spoke with a hint of pride, and then smiled as she looked at Gu An'an, "So, Gu An'an, just tell me what kind of jewelry you like, don't be shy."
She's just a lonely rich woman who wants to spend money on others to find joy.
"Okay, I'll definitely pick out a few styles when I have time later."
The conversation with Zhao Qianqian made Gu An'an sleep poorly that night.
Even the marriages of noble ladies like Chen Shu are exploited by their elders for power and profit. They don't care how Chen Shu will cope if she turns around and chooses the wrong side.
Zhao Qianqian, the daughter of a wealthy family, seems carefree and extremely pampered by her parents, but she is nothing more than a living advertisement used to satisfy her father's desire to make money.
But how much money is enough?
After waking up in the middle of the night, Gu An'an couldn't fall back asleep.
She tried her best to fall asleep, but couldn't. As dawn broke, she got up, tidied herself up, and went to the market to see what fresh vegetables and fruits were available, preparing to show off her skills to Princess Linglong in a few days.
Gu An'an has always been clear about her gratitude and resentment. If there was any misunderstanding before, she would talk it out and she wouldn't hold a grudge.
Moreover, Princess Linglong really helped her a lot. With the influence of Princess Linping's mansion, the Chen family members who had previously caused trouble behind her back didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
However, Gu An'an did not expect that as soon as she left the inn, she would be invited to a carriage.
This is right under the emperor's nose, and they're openly kidnapping people.
Gu An'an's expression wasn't good. Did they all think she was a pushover just because she didn't get angry?
