Gu Xin had already told Constable Gao about Awang's crime. If Gu Xin hadn't appeared in time and discovered these problems, Li Yuyan would really have been arrested and taken to the yamen today.
The teahouse will be temporarily closed today because of a murder that occurred there and the body is still at the scene.
Gu Xin didn't need to follow up on what happened next; she left with Dongxue and Bai Er.
As they reached the door, Li Yuyan caught up with them.
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Yuyan.
Li Yuyan bowed to Gu Xin and sincerely thanked her: "This humble woman thanks Princess Xin for speaking up for justice today."
Gu Xin smiled and said, "You're welcome! However, since Miss Li was quite frightened today, I'd like to kindly remind you that you should be more careful when making friends in the future. Also, there are some things that you should never do knowingly. Some things may seem to have nothing to do with you on the surface, and you may even benefit from them if you succeed, but as a person, you should strive to have a clear conscience."
Li Yuyan guessed that Gu Xin probably knew Lu Ni's plan, and felt somewhat ashamed. She nodded and said, "This humble woman understands. This humble woman will remember the princess's teachings."
Gu Xin smiled and waved, "Alright, I'm off. I didn't even get to have tea today, and it's past noon now, so I need to go get something to eat. Goodbye, Miss Li!"
Li Yuyan hesitated before asking, "May I invite the princess to dinner?"
Gu Xin was taken aback, then shook her head: "I'm not free today. I made plans to have lunch with my mother, and I was just planning to come here for some tea and snacks. I'm afraid my mother is getting impatient waiting. We can have lunch together another time."
Li Yuyan nodded: "Okay. Take care, Princess Xinxin!"
Gu Xin waved and left with Bai Er and Dong Xue.
"Ha, Yu Yan, you've already gotten involved with her in such a short time? Didn't you used to say she was vulgar?" Lu Ni came over and mocked after Gu Xin walked away.
The deceased was a maid in the Jiang family, and also Jiang Hong's personal maid. She wanted to have a good reputation, so she was waiting here for her family to come and handle everything with the people from the yamen. However, she didn't have the same convenience as Lu Ni, so she was watching the two of them from inside the teahouse.
“Yes, I’m glad Princess Xinxin is willing to talk to me. I’m also willing to curry favor with her.” Li Yuyan looked at Lu Ni, her eyes seemingly spitting fire. “It’s always you and Jiang Hong who talk about Princess Xinxin, saying this and that about her. I’ve been blinded by you. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those things about Princess Xinxin.”
Lu Ni scoffed: "If you want to curry favor, you'll have to see if they'll even let you."
Li Yuyan gave a mocking laugh: "That's none of your business, Lu Ni. In short, today you've shown me the true nature of our relationship, and I will never believe anything you say again."
“Princess Xinxin is absolutely right about one thing.” Li Yuyan paused, then looked at Jiang Hong in the room. “Lu Ni, Jiang Hong, you must have a clear conscience! You must know your own limitations! If you don’t know your own worth, don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you. You two should think twice!”
After saying that, Li Yuyan turned and left.
Lu Ni grabbed her angrily: "What do you mean?"
Li Yuyan looked at Lu Ni: "It's nothing. If you want me to reveal everything you and Jiang Hong were planning in public, then stop me! It's fine, I'm not comfortable keeping it to myself, let me say it and feel better."
