Chapter 215 was called back.
"It hurts so much! It's all that narcissist's fault. He talked to himself about marrying her, and he was really dreaming."
The moment Gu Shuyan thought of the man who had appeared out of nowhere, she immediately blamed him for her foot pain.
But then she thought about it again and fell silent.
This person doesn't seem to be from the capital; otherwise, judging by his appearance alone, Gu Shuyan would have heard of him.
However, it was precisely this point that made Gu Shuyan even more uneasy. A person who did not belong to the capital suddenly appeared and knew so many things that even she, who had lived a second life, did not know. Such a person could not be a simple character.
It seems I need to talk to Yun Yichen about this sometime, otherwise her unfounded guesses will definitely not yield any results.
"Master, it's late."
In the study of the Yun family mansion, Yun Yichen was copying a book with one hand while fiddling with something in a small cup.
Seeing that he showed no signs of sleepiness, Zhong Lin gently reminded him, but Yun Yichen just hummed in response and continued with what he had been doing.
After a long while, he asked again, "How many days has it been since Shu'er last visited?"
Zhong Lin, who was yawning, perked up at the question and replied, "It's been about twenty days!"
"What about the pastries?"
"The pastries haven't been picked up for several days."
Zhong Lin has been preparing pastries as usual these past few days, but none of the people around Gu Shuyan have appeared.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhong Lin. "So, what exactly happened at the Marquis's residence?"
It's understandable that Gu Shuyan couldn't come out on her own, but it's strange that she didn't even come to pick up the pastries.
"It should be fine! That's the Marquis of Yi'an's residence, what could possibly happen there?"
Besides, with Gu Shuyan's personality, would she really let anyone bully her?
Zhong Linke didn't dare say the last sentence out loud. Just as he finished thinking it to himself, Yun Yichen's cold gaze swept over him.
"Is everything alright? Where's Xiao Liu?"
"Master, didn't you ask me to call Xiao Liu back?"
Zhong Lin was on the verge of tears. It was his master who had said that he no longer needed to manage the Marquis's residence and that the people should be withdrawn.
How could things change so quickly in just a few days?
Yun Yichen would naturally not admit that he was angry about Gu Shuyan's previous offering of the memorial tablet and that's why he had the person taken back.
glaring at Zhong Lin, Yun Yichen said irritably, "You're getting better and better at getting things done. Why aren't you investigating? If anything happens to Shu'er, see how I deal with you all."
No matter how aggrieved Zhong Lin felt, he could only obediently leave.
They woke up their sleeping brothers, and the group immediately sprang into action.
Early the next morning, Gu Shuyan received news from the front yard.
It is said that after Second Master Gu had a quarrel with Aunt Qiao last night, he went to his study in a fit of anger, but while he was sleeping, he ended up sleeping with another woman.
Unfortunately, this woman was none other than Niao Cui, the only maidservant that Aunt Qiao brought into the mansion. Niao Cui was now in her early twenties, but as Aunt Qiao's personal maidservant from the beginning, she was still unmarried at this age.
Gu Shuyan was curious when she first met Niao Cui. After making some inquiries, she learned that Niao Cui had originally had a fiancé.
Unfortunately, not long after Niao Cui told Aunt Qiao that she wanted to go home and get married, her fiancé was killed by villains on the road.
