Chapter 237 Setting Eyes on the Eldest Brother
Gu Yingjie's wedding finally happened to be held on time for the auspicious occasion.
When Gu Shuyan returned, the newlyweds had already completed their wedding ceremony, and the bride had been sent to the backyard.
"How was it? Nobody gave you any trouble, right?"
As soon as Gu Yingjie saw Gu Shuyan enter the flower hall, he hurried over, looking worried.
He had just witnessed firsthand how those passersby completely believed that woman's one-sided story. He wondered if anyone had made things difficult for Gu Shuyan after he left.
"Don't worry! How could my brother not trust me?"
Gu Shuyan smiled faintly, and seeing that she didn't seem to have been bullied, Gu Yingjie felt relieved and went to greet the guests.
"Miss Gu."
Gu Shuyan was about to go find Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe, and introduce them to Xu Shan'er, when a familiar voice came from behind her before she could even move.
"So it's Miss Yan, welcome!"
Gu Shuyan was polite but somewhat distant.
Thinking of her sister-in-law from her past life now attending her second brother's wedding, Gu Shuyan's gaze softened even more as she looked at Yan Meier.
"This is my first time visiting the Marquis's residence, so I am a little unfamiliar with it. I even accidentally got separated from my mother just now. I wonder if Miss Gu could take me to the garden to look for my mother?"
Yan Meier didn't care at all about the aloofness in Gu Shuyan's eyes. She was a guest today, and even if her father's position was not high, as long as Gu Shuyan wasn't ignorant of etiquette, she wouldn't refuse her.
As expected, Gu Shuyan smiled slightly after hearing this, "Of course, I was just about to go to the flower courtyard anyway, Miss Yan, please come with me!"
Gu Shuyan said this and headed ahead towards the direction of the garden.
The two walked one after the other. Yan Meier carefully observed Gu Shuyan's expression and then asked casually, "Miss Gu, I heard that Young Master Gu went out on business with His Highness the Crown Prince. Is that true?"
Gu Shuyan was clearly not expected that Yan Meier would suddenly ask about her older brother. She turned around and looked at Yan Meier, who was looking down with a shy expression. Gu Shuyan's heart skipped a beat.
The second brother finally managed to break free from the predestined marriage of his past life and marry Sister Jing as he wished. Could it be that Yan Meier has taken a fancy to the eldest brother?
Gu Shuyan would not allow her second sister-in-law to become the eldest sister-in-law.
Although she and Yan Meier weren't exactly mortal enemies, they did have some old grudges. How could Gu Shuyan let her into her home again? "My elder brother did accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to Ganzhou, but it was just a nominal position. He still had to follow His Highness's instructions."
Gu Shuyan wished she could say that her brother was just there to buy soy sauce and was of no real use.
But since he was her own elder brother, Gu Shuyan couldn't very well speak ill of him just to protect Yan Meier.
"It's already quite an achievement to be able to accompany him. The eldest young master is an outstanding person, and he is sure to make great achievements in the future."
Yan Meier took Gu Shuyan's words as genuine modesty and proceeded to praise her arrogantly.
Gu Shuyan just wanted to roll her eyes at her. She was praising a man like that, as if she wanted everyone to know what she was thinking.
"Where did Miss Yan and Madam Yan get separated?"
Gu Shuyan disliked discussing this with the other party, so she subtly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Yan Meier looked ahead and said, "It's at the small door up ahead."
After saying that, before Gu Shuyan could speak, she added, "Miss Gu, I wonder if the young master has any particular preferences?"
The fact that she's so open about the man shows she's really going all out!
