Gu Yufei gently pushed open the door and stepped into the room, but the scene before her made her movements freeze instantly.
Yuan Shuyi sat in the house with a gloomy face, like the sky covered with dark clouds, depressing and low.
Her appearance was in stark contrast to her usual warmth and generosity towards outsiders; the deliberate display of friendliness was now gone.
"You're finally back." Yuan Shuyi's voice was tinged with sarcasm, and her eyes were cold, as if to penetrate deep into Gu Yufei's heart.
Gu Yufei nodded slightly. Despite a sense of foreboding, she remained calm, trying her best to appear composed. "Yes, Miss, I'm back." She tried to keep her voice calm, but deep down, she was wary of Yuan Shuyi's next move.
Yuan Shuyi slowly stood up and walked towards Gu Yufei. Her eyes swept across Gu Yufei's face like a sharp blade. "I heard that Young Master Rongxue was very caring towards you today. Gu Yufei, shouldn't you explain it to me?" Her words were full of doubts and dissatisfaction. It was obvious that she had heard about today's events.
Gu Yufei's heart tightened. She knew Yuan Shuyi was extremely jealous, and any little thing could become an excuse for her to attack. "Miss, you misunderstood. Master Rong Xue is just..."
"Just what?" Yuan Shuyi interrupted her, her tone becoming more sharp, "Just helping you cover up? Or is there really another meaning?" A barely perceptible anger flashed in her eyes.
Gu Yufei took a deep breath. She knew that any panic at this moment would let Yuan Shuyi see the flaw, so she remained calm, "Miss, you worry too much. There is nothing wrong between me and Master Rong Xue."
Yuan Shuyi stared at Gu Yufei's eyes, as if trying to find a hint of deception in them, but Gu Yufei's eyes were clear and she did not avoid him.
In the end, Yuan Shuyi could only snort, turned around and left, leaving behind a warning, "Gu Yufei, I will always keep an eye on you. I took you in out of kindness, so please don't do anything to let me down."
Gu Yufei watched Yuan Shuyi leave, then let out a long breath. Her body leaned against the door frame as if she had lost her strength.
What Yuan Shuyi didn't know was that there were two hearts living in Gu Yufei's body, one belonged to her original body, pure and gentle; the other came from that terrifying female devil.
When Gu Yufei woke up from the cold water, she knew that everything had changed.
Yuan Shuyi only thought that Gu Yufei was a maid who was sometimes lucid and sometimes stupid after she poisoned her.
After a while, Yuan Shuyi came back.
Several maids from the palace stood beside her, holding various snacks in their hands.
Yuan Shuyi stood in front of her, holding a cup of steaming tea. Her voice was gentle and concerned: "Yufei, you went out to play again last night. Now drink some tea to clear your stomach."
The maids around her looked at her with envy.
What a good master.
Why can't they meet?
I heard that this girl in the courtyard will become the mistress of the palace in the future. Miss Gu will also be half a master. She is so lucky...
"Thank you, Miss." Gu Yufei quickly took the tea.
Yuan Shuyi stroked Gu Yufei's face and smiled like a warm spring breeze.
