Chapter 47 Wasting Resources
The motive for the murder was that the neighbor's wife had an affair and given birth to Da Han's child.
In truth, Gu Shuyan was able to successfully resolve the troublesome Chunyan this time thanks to Gu Yingxue's constant annoyances. Otherwise, she wouldn't have remembered the events of the Han Dynasty so clearly.
"In any case, our young lady has rid herself of a menace every day. Although Chunyan wasn't as arrogant as Chunxiang, she still bullied the maids in the outer courtyard quite a bit in secret. Now that she's dead, I wonder how many people are secretly happy!"
Pearl doesn't care what the truth is; as long as the scourge is eliminated, that's a good truth.
"I'm afraid it will all be for nothing in the end! One swallow leaves, another will come. As long as their masters are still around, these wicked servants will never disappear."
Mingyu was clearly not as optimistic as Zhenzhu. Having worked in the outer courtyard for many years, she had seen more of the ways of the world and understood things better than Zhenzhu.
"That's right. The only way to completely eradicate these people is to uproot them."
Therefore, Gu Shuyan's goal was never as simple as just finding a little swallow.
The next day.
Gu Yingxue brought Fei'er to the North Courtyard early in the morning.
"What brings you here today, little sister?"
Seeing Gu Yingxue lead her maid into the room, Gu Shuyan hurriedly invited Gu Yingxue to sit down, and then personally poured her a cup of tea.
"My father said this tea was a tribute from the south last year, and it has a very unique flavor. But I don't know much about these things, so why don't you help me taste it, sister?"
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan handed the tea to Gu Yingxue. Gu Yingxue took the tea and sipped it gently. A rich aroma filled her mouth, and it tasted better than any tea she had ever had before.
"The tea in my sister's courtyard is indeed all excellent!"
As soon as Gu Yingxue finished speaking, Gu Shuyan lifted the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Gu Yingxue felt a sharp pain in her heart. What a waste of such fine tea, which this village girl drank directly like water!
Seeing Gu Yingxue's regret, Gu Shuyan smiled slightly, put down her cup, and asked, "By the way, did you come here for something, little sister?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yingxue quickly composed herself and said apologetically, "Actually, I'm here today to apologize. I haven't been able to bring you ginseng soup these past few days because I fell into the water. I hope you won't blame me?"
Several days have passed, and Gu Shuyan had almost forgotten about sending the soup, but it was rare that Gu Yingxue remembered it so clearly.
"What are you saying, sister? I'm so happy that you brought me soup, how could I blame you? Besides, it's understandable that you'd be sad after what happened to Chunyan."
Gu Yingxue tried to cover it up by claiming she fell into the water, but Gu Shuyan naturally wouldn't let her succeed. Rumors were circulating that Chunyan killed people because Gu Yingxue had fallen into the water and been seen by a large man.
Although Chunyan initially refused to admit it, the more she did so, the more those people could imagine for themselves. As for how far things would ultimately develop, that was beyond human control.
Hearing Gu Shuyan mention Chunyan without any remorse, Gu Yingxue's hard-won peace of mind was stirred up again.
The person in front of me is the one who killed Chunyan, yet she can still laugh when she mentions Chunyan.
Gu Yingxue's anger grew stronger with each thought, and she was on the verge of losing her temper when Fei'er quickly reminded her, "Miss, didn't you make soup for the eldest young lady?"
