Chapter 123 Following
"Now that I have my father, mother, grandmother, and brothers, Shuyan is very content."
Yes, her loved ones are still alive. Compared to her previous life, this is an unimaginable happiness. What more could she ask for?
Gu Shuyan stared at Gu Renjie with her bright, dazzling eyes, which made Gu Renjie's angry heart suddenly tremble.
"This was the shop that Li Yingxue used to run, but it has now been seized by the government. The property deed and land deed will belong to you from now on."
As he spoke, Gu Renjie stuffed the things into Gu Shuyan's hands, and without waiting a moment longer, he turned and left the North Courtyard.
"So, the eldest young master is here to deliver the shop?"
Pearl had been serving the eldest young master in the courtyard for a while, thinking he had something to discuss with Gu Shuyan, but it turned out that she had only brought something over.
It would be much more convenient for the young master to give her the house and land deeds, but he insists on waiting for her to return. It's really strange.
"Miss, Fei'er from Xueyuan requests an audience."
No sooner had Gu Renjie left than the old woman guarding the gate came to report.
"Let her in!"
Gu Shuyan was not surprised by Fei'er's arrival. She simply handed the property deed to Pearl to take into the inner room to keep it, and then led Mingyu to the side hall.
"Fei'er greets Miss."
Fei'er, unlike her usual smooth manner in front of others, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
"Alright, get up! Now that your brother has removed Gu Yingxue from the Gu family genealogy, you will stay in the North Courtyard from now on!"
Fei'er has been Gu Shuyan's person from the beginning. Now that Gu Yingxue has been driven away, she will naturally have to come to the North Courtyard.
To Gu Shuyan's surprise, Fei'er shook her head at her words.
"Miss, I hope you can beat me and kick me out of the manor."
Fei'er's words initially puzzled Gu Shuyan, but looking into her unwavering gaze, Gu Shuyan suddenly understood what she meant.
With a sigh, Gu Shuyan said helplessly, "Have you thought this through? Gu Yingxue has lost her status as a member of the Gu family and the support of her shops. I'm afraid she'll have a very difficult time now."
“This servant is not afraid of hardship. Compared to the pain of losing loved ones, what is a little hardship to be afraid of?”
As Fei'er spoke, a burning hatred unconsciously flashed in her eyes—the kind of agonizing hatred that comes from having one's loved ones taken away—that no one could empathize with more than Gu Shuyan. So Gu Shuyan nodded, agreeing to Fei'er's request.
Back in her room, Gu Shuyan instructed Pearl to find a bottle of the best medicine to send to Fei'er before lying down on the bed, feeling utterly bored.
Ultimately, the reason she had such a smooth time was twofold: firstly, Gu Yingxue was emotionally disoriented and lacked the shrewdness of her previous life; and secondly, Fei'er played a crucial role in the situation.
Thinking of the little maid who was crying in the corner that day, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but sigh slightly. Perhaps this was the girl's fate.
Early the next morning, Fei'er, who was covered in bruises, was brought to the gate of the Li family.
Looking at Fei'er lying on the ground, barely alive, Chunxiang couldn't help but sneer, "You never thought you'd end up like this, did you? You've really had bad luck. You finally managed to get a position as a head maid, but you haven't even been basking in it for a few days before you've been kicked out."
"Stop talking nonsense and go inside to report to the young lady."
Fei'er glanced at Chunxiang with disdain, her arrogant demeanor showing no sign of restraint despite her physical condition.
"You bitch, you still dare to act arrogantly towards me."
