Chapter 161 Adventure
Another elegantly dressed young woman spoke up, and it seemed she truly regarded Gu Shuyan as an enemy.
"Sister Shuyan."
Ouyang Jing called out to Gu Shuyan with some concern, but Gu Shuyan waved her hand and glanced at the few girls passing by downstairs.
These girls are nothing more than admirers of Lu Youming. They protect the man they love. Didn't they do the same thing in their previous lives?
She remembered that when she first married Lu Youming, her elder brother embarrassed him in court, so she rushed back to the Gu family and questioned her brother about why he had treated Lu Youming this way.
At that time, the older brother didn't say a word, just quietly looked at her. There was hurt and pain in his eyes, but he was so blinded by love that he didn't take anything to heart.
At that time, all she knew was that she cared about Lu Youming, so her older brother had to help Lu Youming save face.
Looking back now, how ridiculous she was, just like those people gossiping about her. No matter how indignant she was, no matter how much she did for Lu Youming, that man wouldn't have given them a second glance.
As the girls' figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Gu Shuyan still recognized two of them—He Ruyan, the daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief, and Kang Qingying, the daughter of the Left Deputy Censor-in-Chief.
They are all worthy of being called Lu Youming's characters, so it's no wonder they were so angry.
"Sister Jing, do you think they might start to suspect each other one day?"
The three seemed to get along well, even displaying a sisterly bond, but it's uncertain how long this superficial friendship can last.
Ouyang Jing was suddenly distracted by Gu Shuyan's change of topic and actually began to ponder Gu Shuyan's question.
Gu Shuyan was surprised by Ouyang Jing's honesty and didn't know whether she should laugh or not.
What suspicions are you talking about?
Gu Yingjie walked around the screen and came in, followed by Ji Wenxuan.
"Is Shu'er getting impatient?"
As Ji Wenxuan spoke, he looked at Ouyang Jing and gave her a slight fist salute.
It was obvious that Ouyang Jing did not recognize Ji Wenxuan. Seeing his polite manner, Ouyang Jing quickly stood up and gave him a greeting as an equal.
"Sister Jing, this is the person I told you to meet, my cousin Ji Wenxuan."
Gu Shuyan introduced Ouyang Jing, who then realized and said, "So you are Young Master Ji."
After the two had barely gotten to know each other, Gu Shuyan looked at Ji Wenxuan and asked, "Brother Wenxuan, is everything ready?"
"It's been prepared for a long time."
What Ji Wenxuan didn't say was that he had prepared it the day after Gu Shuyan contacted him, but Gu Shuyan didn't ask him about it and he hadn't given it to her yet.
Gu Shuyan specially invited him to meet Ouyang Jing today, so she must have already made preparations.
"Shu'er, what are you talking about?"
Ouyang Jing looked at Gu Shuyan curiously, but Gu Yingjie took her hand from the side.
"Jing'er, are you willing to take the risk for me?"
Gu Yingjie's face was unusually serious. Seeing his expression, Ouyang Jing hesitated as she tried to pull her hand back.
My intuition tells me that something must be wrong with these three siblings, but if I ask now, could it be related to her?
Although she didn't understand what they were talking about, Ouyang Jing nodded. Looking at the man in front of her with such deep affection, Ouyang Jing felt that as long as he was there, she had nothing to worry about.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yingjie reached out his hand to Ji Wenxuan, who immediately took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it in Gu Yingjie's hand.
"What's this?"
Could it be the double suicide plot mentioned in the book?
