Chapter 167 The Uninvited Guest
Because Gu Shuyan didn't like having someone watch over her while she slept, there were no maids left in the room to keep watch at night.
Just after midnight, a figure entered the Marquis's residence like a ghost.
The figure seemed very familiar with the Marquis's residence, and in no time at all, entered Gu Shuyan's north courtyard.
The little girl was fast asleep on the bed, but even so, her brow remained furrowed.
The shadowy figure scanned the room and finally landed on Gu Renjie's bottle of scar removal medicine.
"Snow Skin Cream, as expected of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's mansion, they actually have such a good thing."
The man's voice was somewhat gloomy, and it was clear that he was in a bad mood.
The man glanced back at Gu Shuyan and slowly sat down in front of her bed.
He placed his hand on Gu Shuyan's pulse, and after a moment, he placed it on her forehead. Seeing that she did not have a fever, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"She really is a country girl. If it were a young lady from a noble family, she would have developed a high fever long ago after being bitten like that."
The man whispered as he took a small bottle from his pocket, placed the medicine on Gu Shuyan's bedside table, and then got up and left.
But he had only taken one step when a hand grabbed him.
"Don't go."
Upon hearing this, the man became alert. He turned around and saw that the little girl was still fast asleep, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He tried to pull his hand away, but Gu Shuyan gripped it even tighter.
"Brother Yun, don't go."
Gu Shuyan's murmur came, and upon hearing this, the man not only stopped struggling but sat back down.
"Little girl, how did you and Yun Yichen meet?"
The man's voice reached her ears, and Gu Shuyan's furrowed brows relaxed.
"I want to be Brother Yun's wife, so naturally we'll get to know each other."
The man sitting on the edge of the bed was stunned by those casual words. He didn't know what to say, and after a long while, he finally removed Gu Shuyan's hand and left.
After the people in the room left, Gu Shuyan slowly opened her eyes.
Because of her shoulder pain, she couldn't sleep soundly. Not long after the person came in, Gu Shuyan woke up, but she pretended to be fast asleep to avoid being discovered.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to intend to harm her; on the contrary, it seemed that they came to see her.
Sneaking into a woman's boudoir in the dead of night and leaving medicine in her room—this person really doesn't follow the usual path.
However, thinking of the familiar medicinal scent on that person, Gu Shuyan's eyes involuntarily deepened.
The next day, while Gu Shuyan was still asleep, Madam Ji arrived.
Seeing Gu Shuyan lying on the bed with a pale face, Madam Ji felt extremely guilty.
She still remembers yesterday's events clearly. She never imagined that one day she would be the one to hurt her own daughter.
"Shu'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer."
As Ji Shi bandaged Gu Shuyan's wounds, she said with self-reproach.
Gu Shuyan naturally knew that Madam Ji would not want to hurt her, and seeing this, she quickly comforted her, "How could this be Mother's fault? Mother didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it's just a small injury, it's nothing."
Even though Gu Shuyan said that, Ji Shi still had a knot in her heart.
The mother and daughter ate breakfast at Yunxiang Courtyard. Although the old lady didn't say anything about what happened yesterday, Ji could still vaguely sense the blame that the old lady unintentionally revealed.
Indeed, she almost bit off Shu'er's shoulder blade yesterday. It's normal for the old lady to feel resentment, after all, she hates herself for doing something to hurt her daughter.
