Chapter 332 Completely Unrelated
Even though it was Gu Shuyan who was asking the questions, Sun Linrui was looking at Lu Yuanbin. No one knew what he was worried about, but he felt that he had to explain things clearly to Lu Yuanbin, otherwise he would definitely get scolded when he got back.
"Young Master Sun, what is your basis for such certainty?"
Gu Shuyan didn't care what Sun Linrui was thinking; she just kept asking him questions.
Sun Linrui felt a little guilty after being asked that question. She glanced at Lu Yuanbin, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and finally raised her head and said, "It was her. This little maid told me that her young lady was in danger, so I came."
Sun Linrui naturally wouldn't reveal what the little maid had said about her mistress being threatened by Luo Hao to meet her. If she did, wouldn't that be blatantly telling others that Luo Hao had something on Yan Meier?
It has to be said that Sun Linrui was too naive. Gu Shuyan's question was a trap she had set for him. If he had stubbornly refused to answer, it would have been fine, but as soon as he did, no matter what he said, everyone present would have been suspicious.
After all, shouldn't a young woman in danger seek help from her family first? Seeking help from a stranger, especially one she has no connection with, is problematic in itself.
Upon hearing Sun Linrui's words, the first person to panic was none other than Yan Meier, the person in question.
It wasn't originally her appointment with Luo Hao today; rather, Luo Hao had someone send her a letter asking her to come and spend time with him one more time. After this, the two of them would have no further connection, and the past could be wiped clean.
Recently, Yan Meier has been obsessed with Lu Youming, and all she can think about is how to gain his favor so that she can also enter the Third Prince's residence and become a member of the royal family. So when she saw Luo Hao's letter, Yan Meier immediately agreed without hesitation. After all, risking her life for a lifetime of peace is the better choice even for a fool.
Unfortunately, her maid was foolish and actually told Sun Linrui about it.
Turning back to glare at the maid, Yan Meier hoped the maid could step forward to clarify the situation, at least to smooth over the matter of encountering Sun Linrui.
The maid naturally understood Yan Meier's meaning and immediately stepped forward to explain, "Actually, I bumped into Young Master Sun in my haste. When Young Master Sun saw that I looked flustered, he came with me."
The maid's words were reasonable. A maid who looked flustered bumped into someone, and after asking her, learned that Miss Yan was in danger. It was not wrong for Sun Linrui to come to help.
But Gu Shuyan couldn't let him get away with it so easily.
"So that's how it is! Young Master Sun is truly a chivalrous man! However, there is one thing that Young Master Sun did go too far. Although Young Master Luo did something wrong, Young Master Sun shouldn't have beaten him like that. Anyone who didn't know better would think that you had a blood feud involving the murder of a mother and the theft of a wife!"
Gu Shuyan had a smile on her face, and her cute appearance made her seem like a girl next door, so no one could feel any aversion to her.
It was precisely because of Gu Shuyan's seemingly clueless words that everyone present changed their expressions.
Someone suddenly remembered what happened at Minister Sun's residence before. At that time, Sun Linrui's expression was just like today, as if he wished he could skin Luo Hao alive.
Gu Shuyan's scrutinizing gaze darted between Sun Linrui and Yan Meier, and then, as if to stir up trouble, she spoke up again, "You maid, you're so reckless! When your young mistress was in danger, didn't you know to call for help immediately? You even abandoned your young mistress and ran away?"
