Chapter 325 A Huge Uproar
"You silly girl, you can read books anytime, but you'd better watch your eyes from now on."
The old lady couldn't bear to blame Gu Shuyan. Seeing her listless appearance, she didn't keep her any longer and told her to go and rest.
Back in the North Courtyard, Gu Shuyan lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was just in time for dinner.
“Miss, you’re finally awake. If you hadn’t woken up, Pearl and I were about to wake you.”
Having not slept all night, Gu Shuyan knew that if she tried to sleep any longer, she would definitely not be able to fall asleep again at night.
Gu Shuyan, having just woken up, did not respond to their words. She simply washed up and sat down at the dining table.
"Is there any news about anything?"
Gu Shuyan picked up some food while glancing at Pearl sitting in front of her.
Gu Shuyan had just swallowed a mouthful of rice when she heard this and hurriedly said, "I did find out some news. It is said that the late Empress Dowager gave the hairpin to the Princess on the day of the Princess's wedding. However, the Princess later gave it to a deposed concubine in the palace. I didn't find out who that deposed concubine was."
Pearl heard the news from her father when her mother wasn't paying attention. Because some of it was just something she and her husband mumbled in their sleep, her father never dared to tell anyone. If she hadn't asked, her father probably would never have told her in his life.
"This matter is of utmost importance. I'm afraid even Wu's mother herself doesn't know that she can talk in her sleep. Tell your father to keep an eye on things and make sure no one else hears it. Especially those traitors. Your father is in charge of the outer courtyard, and he has a lot of contact with the purchasing department. Make sure he's careful."
Mingyu and Zhenzhu naturally knew who Gu Shuyan was targeting. Although Aunt Zhang was dead, the man was still alive, and the person behind her was still there.
The matter of the phoenix hairpin is no small matter. If it were to be discovered by those with ulterior motives, it would likely cause a huge uproar.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will talk to Father." Pearl nodded in agreement.
Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are we just going to let Chunxiang and the Crown Prince's residence continue like this?"
Recently, the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince have been causing trouble one after another, leaving them no time to pay attention to the situation at the Crown Prince's residence. Mingyu had doubts in her heart, but Gu Shuyan seemed to be completely unconcerned.
"Let them do what they want! The more they make a scene over there, the better it is for us."
Gu Shuyan said nonchalantly that Li Yingxue and the Crown Prince and their ilk could no longer cause any trouble. On the contrary, Lu Youming had been allowed to live a carefree life for so long, and it was time for him to suffer a bit.
The thought of Lu Youming's impending misfortune instantly lifted Gu Shuyan's spirits, and she even ate with greater relish than before.
Two days later, Gu Shuyan went to the old lady's courtyard to pay her respects, and then went out with Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe.
Since returning to the capital, the two children have rarely gone out.
With the year-end approaching, the governess returned home, and with the two of them having some free time, Gu Shuyan offered to accompany them on a day trip to the streets.
Gu Yuhe was overjoyed to hear that she could finally go out and play. If it weren't for the need to be polite in front of her elders, she would have cheered on the spot. Gu Yuxin was also happy, but compared to Gu Yuhe, she was noticeably more reserved.
"Big sister, isn't the city of Beijing very bustling?" Gu Yuhe couldn't sit still any longer once she got in the carriage. Her joyful and excited appearance made Gu Shuyan feel much better.
