Chapter 246 Different Colors
Turning her head to look at the unfriendly-looking Ji Shi, Madam Sun ultimately didn't have the heart to speak again.
As the banquet began, Gu Jin and Gu Yingjie naturally had to offer toasts, and even Madam Ji couldn't help but toast the ladies.
But beneath this seemingly warm atmosphere, countless different thoughts were brewing.
"Mingyu, tell the kitchen to send some food to your sister-in-law."
Now that Ouyang Jing is Gu's daughter-in-law, Gu Shuyan naturally has to call her sister-in-law. As for the previous titles, Gu Shuyan can no longer use them.
"Miss, the Second Young Master gave the order early this morning."
Mingyu looked at Gu Shuyan with amusement. She wondered if this young mistress had accumulated good karma in her past life to be treated so well by the young master and young lady in this life.
Little did Mingyu know that in her previous life, Ouyang Jing had a miserable life, being used and abandoned by others, and had experienced all the hardships of life.
The reason she was able to marry into the Marquis's family is truly due to the good deeds she accumulated in her previous life. If she hadn't collected the bodies of the Gu family, she would probably have become a concubine in the Crown Prince's mansion by now.
The saying goes, "Everything has a cause and an effect." Perhaps all of this is like the concept of fate, which is truly unfathomable.
The next day, Gu Shuyan was invited to Yunxiang Courtyard early in the morning.
Looking at everyone in the room, Gu Shuyan had a feeling something was wrong.
"Grandmother, Father, Mother, has something happened?" Gu Shuyan bowed to them before asking.
Gu Jin didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply placed a box on the table for Gu Shuyan to see for herself.
"Isn't this Xu Yunzhi's congratulatory gift from yesterday?"
As soon as Gu Shuyan finished speaking, she thought of what Xu Yunzhi had said yesterday. Could it be that there really is something extraordinary inside?
Thinking this, Gu Shuyan stepped forward. Inside, there were no rare treasures as she had imagined; instead, there was only a blue and white jade pendant.
Gu Shuyan reached out and picked up the jade pendant. Before she knew it, she had almost dropped it.
After hurriedly putting the jade pendant away, Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Jin and said, "Father, this..."
Seeing that his daughter knew about this, Gu Jin didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "This is a royal jade pendant that symbolizes status. Every prince born will have one, only the patterns are different."
As Gu Jin spoke, Gu Shuyan nodded in agreement.
Gu Shuyan had seen the style of this jade pendant before, but Lu Youming's was made of jadeite, so Gu Shuyan did not recognize it at first glance.
"So how did Xu Yunzhi come to have this jade pendant?"
Gu Shuyan's question was also Gu Jin's question. Gu Jin glanced at Gu Shuyan's surprised expression and his eyes flickered.
"Shu'er, how exactly do you know Xu Yunzhi?"
A person who had never appeared in the capital before suddenly appeared out of nowhere. No matter how Gu Jin thought about it, he found it suspicious.
In her previous life, Gu Shuyan had never actually met Xu Yunzhi, or rather, this person had never appeared in her knowledge.
Gu Shuyan knew absolutely nothing about this person's identity or background, but why didn't he come after her in her previous life, but instead set his sights on the Marquis's mansion in this life?
Gu Shuyan recounted how she met Gu Jin, including Xu Yunzhi's offer to marry her. Everyone present became nervous upon hearing this.
"Therefore, this person knew Yan with a purpose from the beginning, and as for proposing to marry Yan, it is probably not as simple as just saying it."
