Chapter 162 The Servant is Sick
Shaking her head, Ouyang Jing quickly dismissed these nonsensical thoughts.
Gu Yingjie said, "This is a medicine that causes rashes. I know it's unrealistic to make your father give up the idea of you marrying into the royal family. So, Shu'er came up with this method."
"Jing'er, I don't know if this method is truly foolproof, so if you're unwilling, then we won't use it."
Gu Yingjie arrived full of confidence, but when he actually faced Ouyang Jing, he suddenly regretted agreeing to Gu Shuyan's promise.
If there were any problems with the medicine, he would certainly not let Ouyang Jing down, but what if Ouyang Jing was upset because of it? He had been too selfish before.
Seeing the worry on Gu Yingjie's face, Ouyang Jing smiled slightly and took the medicine bottle from his hand without asking any questions.
Gu Shuyan quietly observed the two's reactions, glancing at Ji Wenxuan without leaving a trace. Ji Wenxuan was also looking at her at that moment.
"I'm willing to try for you."
As Ouyang Jing spoke, she picked up the medicine bottle and was about to apply it to her face.
Just then, Gu Yingjie reached out and stopped her.
Indeed, he shouldn't have been so selfish as to send Jing'er on such a risk.
"No, we won't use this method. I refuse to believe we can't persuade your father."
Gu Yingjie decisively abandoned this method, but Ouyang Jing snatched the medicine bottle and applied the powder directly to her face.
Seeing Gu Yingjie's anxious expression, Gu Shuyan and Ji Wenxuan smiled and stood up, cupping their hands in greeting to the two of them, saying, "Congratulations on passing the test."
"A test?" Both of them were bewildered.
"Actually, this was all Shuer's idea. She just wanted to see if the two of you were truly in love. Now it seems that it couldn't be more true."
After Ji Wenxuan finished speaking, Gu Shuyan playfully added, "That bottle actually contains just some ordinary rouge and powder, which are very good for the skin."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at their younger siblings and were at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Gu Yingjie then flicked each of them on the head as a warning.
"Alright, let's get to the real solution!"
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan stopped hesitating and directly told the three of them her idea. Although the three of them felt it would be difficult, they still nodded.
After returning, Gu Shuyan did not go directly back to the Marquis's residence, but instead knocked on the door of the Yun residence.
When the gatekeeper saw that it was Gu Shuyan, he didn't wait to lead her in. He took off running and shouted, "Sir, Miss Gu is here! Miss Gu is here!"
"Is this servant crazy?"
This was the first time Pearl had ever seen someone who worked for a wealthy and powerful family and was so clueless.
"They're just excited," Mingyu kindly reminded her, but Pearl was even more puzzled.
Why is this gatekeeper so excited that his young mistress is coming to visit? Could it be that even a servant like her is in love with her? The young mistress is indeed very charming!
When the servant returned, he was accompanied by a man in red. Without much thought, Gu Shuyan knew who it was.
"Brother Yun!"
Running forward, Gu Shuyan gave Yun Yichen a gentle smile.
Unlike her previous attempts at being cute, her smile was just like any other, yet it was even more adorable than before.
"Let's talk in the study!"
Without Gu Shuyan saying anything, Yun Yichen knew her purpose. Gu Shuyan felt a little warm at this tacit understanding and unconsciously glanced at Yun Yichen a few more times.
