Chapter 207 A Good Secret
"Miss, what are your plans for getting Chunxiang into the Crown Prince's residence?"
Chunxiang is of average appearance and has no outstanding skills. Would someone like the Crown Prince, who frequents brothels, be interested in her?
Mingyu and Zhenzhu couldn't help but have doubts. Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she whispered something to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood. Sometimes, not all men like beautiful women, especially men like the Crown Prince who are never short of women, and are certainly not short of women with excellent looks.
Conversely, if someone acts distant or aloof towards him, it can arouse the other person's desire to conquer.
"Find a mother who is an expert in this field to teach her, and she must be completely transformed within half a month."
Gu Shuyan didn't have much time to waste with Chunxiang; the maximum she could give was half a month. However, she believed that Chunxiang wouldn't disappoint her.
After Mingyu accepted the order and left, Gu Shuyan looked at Zhenzhu and said, "Let's go to Aunt Zhang's place."
For some time now, Aunt Zhang has been behaving very well, but as long as she's around, she's a ticking time bomb.
Gu Shuyan had been pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignoring her, but now it was time to meet her.
In a secluded, dilapidated courtyard, Aunt Zhang was watering the newly planted vegetable seedlings, carrying a bucket in one hand and a ladle in the other.
Upon seeing Gu Shuyan enter, Aunt Zhang was so startled that her hand trembled, and she dropped the ladle to the ground.
"It seems that Aunt Zhang is quite surprised by my arrival?"
Gu Shuyan smiled and seemed very easy to talk to, but from the moment she appeared, Aunt Zhang had a bad feeling.
"I wonder why Miss has come to my humble abode?"
Aunt Zhang quickly regained her composure and gave Gu Shuyan a proper bow.
"Don't you know why I've come back, Aunt?"
Gu Shuyan looked at Aunt Zhang meaningfully. Although this woman was over thirty, she was well-maintained, especially her seemingly inconspicuous clothes, which were made of the most fashionable materials.
It seems that Aunt Zhang has had someone secretly helping her in the backyard all these years, and the person helping her probably holds a high position in the household.
"This lowly concubine does not know."
Aunt Zhang was inwardly apprehensive, but outwardly she still pretended to be clueless.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan glanced at the maid in the courtyard, and the maid immediately tactfully withdrew.
"Now that no one is here, I won't hide it from you anymore, Aunt. Chunyan is your daughter, isn't she?"
Gu Shuyan's words were like a thunderclap, striking Aunt Zhang hard.
"Whether it was the former young lady, the Li family, or even Chunyan herself, everyone only considered her a daughter of the Li family. Who would have thought that Chunyan's real mother would be a concubine in the Gu family who had long been forgotten? The concubine really kept this a secret!"
After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, she walked to Aunt Zhang's side, looked at the rice seedlings growing well in front of her, carefully pulled them up, and played with them carefully in her palm.
"How...how did you know?"
Aunt Zhang handled this matter extremely discreetly, and even those who knew about it back then had long been dealt with by her. Gu Shuyan couldn't possibly know about it.
As if she could see through Aunt Zhang's thoughts, Gu Shuyan smiled slightly, "Aunt Zhang's methods are indeed clever. You have fooled everyone, but you have forgotten that no matter how convincing the lie is, it cannot change the fact that Chunyan is your own flesh and blood."
