Chapter 297 Miss Sun
The maid nodded and introduced herself, saying, "I am a maid from the Duke of Anguo's mansion."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan immediately understood. It turned out that Luo Yuying had come to see her. Weren't the Duke of Anguo's mansion and the Sun family always at odds? Why would she come to attend the Sun family's banquet?
Gu Shuyan followed the maid to the back, which seemed to be the direction of the Sun family's backyard.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan felt even more puzzled. Now that the Duke of Anguo's mansion was suffering a blow because of the Crown Prince's matter, how could Luo Yuying still be in the backyard of the Minister's mansion?
"Miss Gu, you and Miss Luo are very close?"
Yan Meier spoke up from behind, and only then did Gu Shuyan realize that this person had actually followed her into the backyard.
Although Gu Shuyan was quite disgusted by Yan Meier's shamelessness, at this moment, not knowing what awaited her, it was obviously much safer for her to be with Yan Meier.
"We've had some interactions before, and Miss Luo almost became my tutor, so we're fairly familiar with each other."
Gu Shuyan, wanting to take advantage of others, naturally couldn't leave her hanging any longer, so she softened her attitude towards her a little.
Yan Meier was overjoyed to see this, and immediately began to chat enthusiastically with Gu Shuyan, acting like a good sister.
A moment later, the two were led by a maid to a courtyard. Seeing that Yan Meier was following behind Gu Shuyan, the people inside the house were obviously stunned for a moment, but they quickly had someone lead them inside.
Before her eyes was a young girl wearing a carved jacket. The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and had a gentle and pleasant appearance, which made Gu Shuyan feel very comfortable.
Beside the young girl stood the stunningly beautiful Luo Yuying, wearing a short-sleeved dress made of the latest trendy fabric, somewhat similar to the outfit Gu Shuyan was wearing today.
"Sister Shuyan is here, come and sit down."
Luo Yuying greeted Gu Shuyan, completely ignoring Yan Meier who followed her in.
Yan Meier was not embarrassed by this, but simply swayed her slender waist and slowly stepped forward, saying, "Greetings, Miss Sun, Miss Luo."
Yan Meier's movements were already incredibly alluring, but her voice was also naturally seductive. Anyone behind the screen felt a sudden shiver run through them.
Such a beauty, if one were to hold her in one's arms and kiss her, what an intoxicating and captivating experience that would be!
"Miss Yan, you're too kind. Please have a seat."
Although the commotion behind the screen was very small, Gu Shuyan still noticed it slightly, as did Sun Ruoyun.
A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, but Sun Ruoyun immediately put on a humble smile.
"I've heard that Miss Gu is different from other young ladies from noble families. I've met her today, and she truly is beautiful and charming!"
Sun Ruoyun looked at Gu Shuyan with a very natural gaze, without giving the impression that she was deliberately trying to get close to her or being overly affectionate. The atmosphere seemed to be carefully planned to make the other person feel comfortable.
"Miss Sun, you are too kind. I heard that many families were seeking a daughter of the Sun family after I returned to the capital. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."
In ancient times, there were virtuous women who brought good fortune to their families. Gu Shuyan said without any exaggeration that Sun Ruoyun truly deserved the reputation of being sought after by many families.
Yet this woman, in her previous life, didn't marry until she was twenty, and the man she married happened to be the son of an official stationed in a remote area.
Gu Shuyan couldn't say that it was a pity for Sun Ruoyun, but since the other party made this choice, there must be a reason. Otherwise, how could such an outstanding daughter from a family like the Sun family be allowed to stay at the age of twenty?
