Chapter 319 Identity
Looking back at Madam Ji, and seeing that Madam Ji's expression did not change much, Gu Shuyan slowly said, "Actually, I already have someone I like, and I have vowed to marry no one but him in this life."
Gu Shuyan's eyes were full of determination, and she didn't mention a word about Xu Rao having someone he liked.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, both Lady Ji and Lady Jinning were surprised. Gu Shuyan rarely went out on the street, so when did she start having feelings for someone?
"Shu'er, you just said you have someone you like?" Madam Ji wasn't sure if she had misheard. Her daughter was so well-behaved and had never shown any particular interest in anyone. Who was this person she liked?
Like Lady Ji, Lady Jinning's curious gaze lingered on Gu Shuyan's face for a long time.
I originally wanted my favorite child to be my daughter-in-law, but now look what happened. My husband finally agreed to come and propose, but he still messed it up.
"Actually, my mother and Aunt Xiu both know each other; he's the Grand Secretary who lives next door to us."
Gu Shuyan had no intention of hiding it. According to her and Yun Yichen's plan, the other party should make a move in a few days. However, before that, they needed to keep Lu Youming and Lu Yuanbin hanging.
"who?"
The two were even more shocked. Gu Shuyan could accept any young master from any family, but she mentioned someone they found the least acceptable.
Suddenly, Ji remembered that Gu Shuyan often sent people to the Yun residence to borrow books, but she was afraid that the borrowing of books was just a pretense, and that they were actually communicating in secret.
"Good heavens!" Ji Shi covered her mouth, her body swaying involuntarily.
Wu's mother reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from losing her composure.
“Originally, I didn’t want to talk about this, but since Mother and Aunt Xiu are both considering my marriage, I can’t keep it a secret any longer. Although Lord Yun seems a bit cold, I genuinely like him. Besides, the Yun residence is right next door. If I suffer any grievances, wouldn’t it be convenient for me to go back to my parents’ home?”
Gu Shuyan smiled, trying to comfort the startled Ji Shi, but Ji Shi wouldn't listen.
She was already worried about Gu Shuyan's marriage, but today her close friend came over and talked about wanting to marry her daughter, which put her mind at ease.
But in just a short while, her heart not only jumped up again, but also jumped into her throat.
"Please forgive me repeatedly," said Madam Ji, leaning weakly against the cushion.
Seeing this, Lady Jinning could not say anything more, so she could only comfort Lady Ji with a few words before getting up to take her leave.
Only when the mother and daughter were left in the room did Madam Ji slowly look at Gu Shuyan: "Did you have dealings with Lord Yun before?"
Gu Shuyan nodded without hesitation upon hearing this. Seeing this, Madam Ji closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, they were tinged with sadness.
"So you know his identity too?" Ji's eyes were full of worry and sorrow, which completely baffled Gu Shuyan.
"What identity? Does he have some other identity?"
Yun Yichen had never mentioned his identity to me, not even his family. Thinking back to Yun Yichen's rebellion in my past life, could Yun Yichen be a descendant of the previous dynasty?
That doesn't make sense. The previous dynasty disappeared a hundred years ago. Even if there were any descendants left, they would have long since accepted their fate and wouldn't be thinking about destroying the dynasty.
Seeing Gu Shuyan's puzzled expression, Madam Ji guessed that the girl probably didn't know who the other party was!
"Oh well, it's all fate! You two were meant to be a couple."
