Chapter 249 Boldness
Hearing Xu Yunzhi's words, the guard beside him was taken aback and said uncertainly, "Does Master mean that Miss Gu will..."
The guard couldn't help but sigh, no wonder his young master treated Miss Gu differently; Miss Gu was indeed quite different from others.
"Now that the goods have been delivered, I don't care how the other party handles them. However, it's no longer possible for the Marquis of Yi'an to remain uninvolved as before."
Xu Yunzhi initially did not intend to drag the Gu family into this mess, but that person had been eyeing the Gu family for twenty years. Even if he didn't get involved, the Gu family couldn't escape unscathed.
Since it will ultimately be used by others, why can't he use it himself?
When Yun Yichen received the news at the Yun residence, his face remained expressionless.
"Master, how could Miss Gu be so bold! That was something reserved for princes, and she dared to destroy it. Isn't she afraid of losing her head if that person finds out?"
Zhong Lin felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about Gu Shuyan's actions.
Do you think Miss Gu is afraid?
Yun Yichen countered with a question, his deep eyes fixed intently on Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin immediately understood what he meant when he saw him like that. Back when Gu Shuyan met her master, didn't she also grab him with both arms and he couldn't shake her off no matter what she did?
Gu Shuyan, who is not even afraid of the Ghost-Faced Yama, would not be afraid of a jade pendant, especially a broken one.
Even if the emperor wanted to punish her later, he could simply ask whose blue-and-white jade pendant it was, and he himself wouldn't be able to answer that, let alone use it to cause trouble for Gu Shuyan. No wonder Miss Gu was so ruthless; it seems she wasn't afraid of the emperor finding out.
"So, it seems Miss Gu isn't just as bold as she appears!"
Zhong Lin nodded approvingly, becoming increasingly satisfied with Gu Shuyan.
Seeing the smug look on his face, Yun Yichen threw the wolf-hair brush in his hand and drew a line on Zhong Lin's face with perfect accuracy.
Gu Shuyan was naturally aware that her actions were being watched, but all the items were changed into various kinds of jewelry, one of which was even made into a jade pendant by Gu Shuyan and sent directly to the Yun residence two days later.
As for this item, Gu Shuyan said it was a token of love for Yun Yichen.
Yun Yichen was naturally very happy when he received the item. He held the small jade pendant as if it were a rare treasure, playing with it for a long time before hanging it on his waist.
Autumn harvest and winter storage; the seemingly peaceful days pass quickly.
Not long after Gu Renjie returned from Ganzhou, he was promoted to the position of Fifth-Rank Water Conservancy Commissioner. However, with more real power in his hands, he also became a target of more people's covetousness.
"Miss, someone from the Crown Prince's residence has arrived."
Gu Shuyan was leading her two younger sisters in needlework around the stove when Mingyu hurriedly came in from the outer room to report.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the Crown Princess's birthday?"
The Crown Prince's residence first had a favored concubine, Li Yingxue, and then another concubine, Lady Yan, arrived. The Crown Princess was too busy fighting with them to have time to hold a banquet.
So after a little thought, Gu Shuyan realized that the only reason the Crown Princess could hold a banquet was for her own birthday.
"What you said is correct, Miss. It is indeed the Crown Princess's birthday. However, in addition to that, the messenger also brought a letter, saying it was for you, Miss."
After Mingyu finished speaking, she took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it directly to Gu Shuyan.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe knew that the Crown Princess's letter was for Gu Shuyan alone, and immediately stood up.
