Chapter 159 A Bird Startled by the Bow
Gu Shuyan felt like a jinx, constantly bringing disaster to those around her.
They promised to protect them, but in the end, the people they wanted to protect the most ended up getting hurt one by one.
“Miss, the old lady and the madam are in this state because they were harmed by villains. If you think like this, aren’t you just making your loved ones grieve and your enemies rejoice?”
As expected of an old lady, Zhao's mother's words made Gu Shuyan feel much better.
She was only thinking that it was her own fault that her family was harmed, but she forgot that the real culprits should be those with bad intentions.
Gu Shuyan stood up, clasped her hands in greeting to Zhao Mama, and was about to leave when the old lady, who had been lying still, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Miss."
Just as Zhao's mother was about to step forward to see Gu Shuyan off, she witnessed this scene and was so shocked that she couldn't even speak properly.
"grandmother!"
Gu Shuyan turned around and followed Zhao Mama's gaze, just in time to see the old lady looking over.
"Quickly, quickly send someone to inform Father and the others."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she rushed back to the bedside. Seeing that the old lady's lips were dry and she wanted to say something, she quickly had someone turn off the hot water and bring it over.
After letting the old lady take a small sip, she said, "Don't do anything foolish."
The old lady spoke with some difficulty, clearly because she had just woken up, and Gu Shuyan's eyes reddened upon hearing this.
I'm afraid the old lady heard what I said and thought I was about to do something foolish, which is why she hurriedly tried to stop me.
Her family loved her so much, yet she still said she shouldn't have come back; she was utterly despicable.
"Grandmother, don't worry, your granddaughter won't do anything foolish. I haven't even properly shown you my filial piety yet, how could I do anything foolish!"
Gu Shuyan's words reassured the old lady, who nodded slightly before slowly leaning back onto the bed.
When everyone arrived, the old lady was already able to speak a few words. A doctor was called to examine her, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the old lady's health.
Nowadays, the Marquis's mansion is so dangerous that even the slightest disturbance makes people anxious. With the Ji family's incident, everyone is even more like frightened birds.
The fact that the old lady was alright was a welcome piece of good news for everyone.
Since the old lady had just woken up, the group did not stay in Yunxiang Courtyard for too long. After giving a few simple instructions, they went back to rest.
Back in her room, Gu Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and her two maids knelt down simultaneously.
“Miss, we know we were wrong. We shouldn’t have questioned you, let alone said those things. You’ve been so good to us, we should trust you.”
The two lowered their heads in shame. Seeing their expressions, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, get up!"
The two women's previous attitudes were understandable. They didn't know what they had experienced in their past lives, nor did they know how vicious Yinxing's actions were. Seeing how they treated Yinxing, it was normal for them to side with her.
However, Gu Shuyan was still somewhat saddened that the two people closest to her did not completely trust her.
"After this incident, I hope you will remember that even if I hurt someone else, I will never hurt you. In my heart, you are already like my sisters, and I hope you will not just regard me as the young lady of the Marquis's mansion."
This is Gu Shuyan's expectation for the two of them, and also her promise to them.
