There was not only Madam Gu in the room. Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yun'er were also invited to have breakfast together today. The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat around a round mahogany table.
As soon as Gu Yanfei arrived, Madam Gu told Nanny Li to serve the meal.
After a while, a sumptuous meal was neatly laid out on the table, including salty shredded chicken rice porridge, sweet pumpkin millet porridge, crab roe dumplings, bamboo roll steamed buns, yam and jujube paste cakes, golden fried cakes... Each one was delicious and fragrant.
Su Niang waited on the side with her head lowered and her eyes submissively looked very attentive. She served Madam Gu a bowl of three-fresh wontons, and then served food to everyone. From time to time, she glanced at Gu Yanfei out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing Gu Yanfei eating a bowl of pumpkin millet porridge without even raising his head, Su Niang felt relieved a little. She felt proud and raised her index finger with one hand.
In the past fourteen years, she has only been to Huaibei twice. Her impression of Gu Yanfei is that she is cowardly and obedient. Her husband also said that this girl has been spoiled.
The last time, when Gu Yanfei came to Cihetang and saw me, the cold look in her eyes clearly showed her resentment towards me. But now, my daughter is going to be a princess, and a mother is honored by her daughter. My status is no longer the same.
Gu Yanfei was still that cowardly girl after all. She was too scared to provoke me! While thinking, Su Niang carefully put a piece of golden fried cake into Gu Yun'er's bowl and smiled flatteringly. She knew that her daughter was her only support for the future.
Gu Yun'er also smiled at her, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on her cheeks, and her eyes flickered under her gracefully curved eyelids.
For a moment, she wanted to ask Su Niang to leave and not show up in front of Gu Yanfei... Why poke someone's scars? When the words came to her lips, Gu Yunyan thought of the unpleasant parting last time.
Thinking about it till now, the three words "house-born child" still make Gu Yunmen feel like a thorn in her throat.
Gu Yun'er remained silent as she picked up the golden fried cake with chopsticks, telling herself that Gu Yanfei was insignificant in her life.
The clan house will soon come to the Marquis's house to propose marriage. She will leave the Gu family and embark on a new journey in life, while Gu Yanfei will remain where he is.
Gu Yanfei was just lucky and was born into a good family. A person's origin is only the starting point of life and does not represent everything.
Her destiny is in her own hands!
Gu Yun'er gently bit off the golden and crispy crust of the fried cake. The skin was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The sweet taste filled her mouth. The corners of her lips curved up, and an indescribable pleasure emerged in her heart.
The room was quiet, with only the occasional clatter of bowls, chopsticks and spoons. No one spoke.
After breakfast, Su Niang asked the maid to serve the masters freshly brewed scented tea. The faint scent of roses floated in the air with the hot steam.
Gu Yunyan had just picked up the teacup, and as if she had thought of something, she put it down again and said to Gu Yunzhen with a sweet smile, "Big sister, the Sun Clinic in the capital recently invited a doctor named Miao from Yue State. He is best at beauty and scar removal prescriptions."
His words were gentle, considerate, and thoughtful.
Madam Gu smiled approvingly and said before Gu Yunzhen: "Sister Meng, you are really thoughtful. I will ask someone to go to Sun's Clinic to invite Doctor Miao."
Her sister is kind-hearted and knows how to love her sisters.
"Grandma, Third Sister, that's not necessary." Gu Yunzhen smiled gently, "My forehead is completely healed."
She raised her hand to lift her bangs, revealing a smooth forehead that was as delicate and flawless as jade or porcelain.
Gu Yun'er stared at Gu Yunzhen's forehead in surprise, her eyes shining brightly.
She clearly remembered that a few days ago, the scar on Gu Yunzhen's forehead was still clearly visible, but now, the skin on Gu Yunzhen's forehead has completely healed without leaving any trace!
"Big sister, what prescription did you use? It's really a miraculous healing skill. There is actually such a medical master in the capital!" Gu Yun'er clapped her hands with a smile on her face and asked curiously, making it impossible to say no to her.
Gu Yunzhen smoothed her bangs again and subconsciously looked at Gu Yanfei who was sitting on her right.
After that day, Gu Yanfei gave her a prescription and asked her to go to the pharmacy to make ointment to apply on her forehead. In just three days, the shallow scar disappeared completely without leaving any trace.
Even though Gu Yunzhen didn't say a word, Gu Yunmeng understood.
Her smile froze for a moment, and she clenched her handkerchief under the table.
After hesitating for only a moment, she showed a bright and warm smile on her face, and asked warmly, "Second sister, which doctor in Beijing prescribed the prescription for your elder sister's scar removal?"
She looked at Gu Yanfei with a smile on her face, and there was no sign in her expression that she and Gu Yanfei had ever had any disagreements.
"How can the doctors in the capital city have this ability!" Juanbi said proudly, "This is what Master Lingxiao taught our girl!"
After she finished speaking, Juanbi realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Gu Yanfei nervously.
Gu Yanfei took a sip of rose tea, looked at Gu Yunyan, raised his eyebrows, and smiled faintly: "You should not be injured."
Her clear eyes are like a pool of clear lake water, reflecting all the secrets in the world.
Even though she could hear that Gu Yanfei was trying to refuse, Gu Yun'er's smile did not diminish in the slightest.
She visited famous doctors all over the place because of Fang Mingfeng.
She asked for the prescription for Fang Mingfeng.
When they were in Prince Jing's Mansion, Fang Mingfeng's face was injured because he was trying to save her. The once gentle and graceful Master Ya now had a flaw on his face.
She has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, so how could she sit back and watch? Even if she was not on good terms with Gu Yanfei, for Fang Mingfeng, she still wanted to give it a try.
Gu Yunyan smiled earnestly and called out, "Second sister..."
"Madam, I'll take my leave first." Gu Yanfei suddenly stood up and interrupted Gu Yun'er's unfinished words.
The snow-blue sleeves cascaded down, and without waiting for Madam Gu to respond, she turned and walked out, her eyes lightly sweeping over Su Niang with a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth.
“……”Gu Yun’er’s smile froze on his face.
Madam Gu frowned slightly, looking suspicious, and scolded Gu Yanfei from behind: "You have no rules!"
Although he scolded him, he did not ask anyone to stop Gu Yanfei.
Su Niang was unhappy and stamped her feet secretly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly moved out.
After leaving the east room, Su Niang quickened her pace and caught up with Gu Yanfei who had just stepped out of the main hall.
"Second Miss, please stay."
As she spoke, Su Niang rushed to Gu Yanfei like a gust of wind and blocked her way with confidence.
It came as expected.
Su Niang is a person who is always pushing for more.
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly. The eaves above cast a faint shadow on her fair face, making her eyes look particularly deep and without a trace of warmth.
