Chapter 46 Irreconcilable Dilemmas
He dismissed everyone else; this meant he wanted to speak to Gu Yingxue alone.
Chunxiang glared at the little maid who dared to give her a hint, then withdrew as Gu Yingxue had instructed.
"Now you can tell me!"
With no one else around, the young maid quickly repeated what she had heard from the gatekeeper's maids.
Upon hearing that Gu Shuyan had left the mansion with her maid last night, Gu Yingxue was almost immediately certain that Chunyan was killed by Gu Shuyan.
"Gu Shuyan, it turns out you were the one who plotted against me and schemed against Chunyan. From this day forward, I, Gu Yingxue, will never let you get away with this."
Chunyan is dead, and no matter how heartbroken Gu Yingxue is, it's no use. But she is determined to avenge Gu Shuyan's death.
"May I have your name?"
Gu Yingxue calmed down a little and looked at the little maid.
The maidservant replied politely, "Miss, my name is Fei'er."
"Fei'er, your name is alright. From now on, you'll stay by my side and serve me!"
Now that Chunyan is dead, Gu Yingxue only has Chunxiang, her head maid, by her side. And this Fei'er seems quite clever. Rather than choosing someone from outside whose background is unknown, it's better to have Fei'er stay by her side to serve her.
Fei'er was overjoyed to receive this favor and quickly knelt down to express her loyalty, saying, "This servant thanks you, Miss. From now on, Fei'er will serve you wholeheartedly and will always listen to your orders."
Seeing that Fei'er was a good person, Gu Yingxue nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, laughter and cheerful chatter filled the North Courtyard.
Mingyu and Zhenzhu were overjoyed to hear the news of Chunyan's death.
Yesterday, the two of them, along with Gu Yingxue and the other two, were only halfway there when they were stopped by the eldest young master's men. They thought Chunyan would escape this calamity, but unexpectedly, the eldest young master was prepared and directly took Chunyan's life.
With Chunyan no longer giving them bad advice, their young lady could finally live a more comfortable life.
"Thanks to Miss's brilliant planning, we were able to make arrangements ahead of time."
When Pearl thought back to the day Chunyan went to Da Han's house right after she left, she was filled with admiration for her young mistress.
"Miss, there's something I don't understand. How did you know that the big man had a conflict with the neighbor?"
Mingyu looked puzzled. Although she admired Gu Shuyan, she couldn't understand how her young lady knew about the conflict between the Han and the neighbor.
Gu Shuyan had already guessed that she would ask this question, and upon hearing it, she smiled faintly and said, "There are quite a few people in this capital who have neighborhood disputes. You can find out with just a little inquiry. Besides, didn't you notice that the big man doesn't have a wife?"
"What does his not having a wife have to do with his neighborhood conflicts?"
Pearl was puzzled.
"He's unmarried, strong, and healthy, and most importantly, he works for the Marquis of Jinning's household. Do you think it would be difficult for him to find a wife?"
Obviously, it wouldn't be difficult for someone like that to find a wife.
"So, Miss means that this big man doesn't need to get married at all?"
Mingyu suddenly understood something. A man who was capable but didn't marry, had conflicts with his neighbors, and was killed—that was the real reason for Da Han's death!
No wonder the young lady made herself say those things in front of the burly neighbor. What man could stand the thought of raising someone else's child?
Seeing that the two of them had figured it out, Gu Shuyan stopped talking.
In his previous life, Da Han was murdered in his home in the same way. Later, after investigation, it was found that the murderer was his neighbor who lived next door.
