Chapter 48 should not be underestimated.
Gu Yingxue only came to her senses when she heard this. "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Quickly bring over the ginseng soup I made."
Upon hearing this, Fei'er immediately took the ginseng soup from the maid and placed it on the table.
Looking at the steaming ginseng soup in the bowl, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but sigh, "My sister is so thoughtful. I've really been craving this flavor these past few days!"
After saying that, Gu Shuyan didn't pick up a spoon, but took a big gulp of soup from the bowl. After finishing, she smacked her lips as if she had never eaten anything so delicious in her life.
Seeing Gu Shuyan's rude behavior, Gu Yingxue gave her a disdainful look.
As expected, she was someone who couldn't be presented in public. Even with the status of a noble lady, it didn't change the fact that she was still a country girl.
Gu Yingxue was disdainful in her heart, but on the surface she said ingratiatingly, "I'm glad you like it, sister. Now that I'm much better, I can continue to bring you soup."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, little sister."
Gu Shuyan finished the soup in her bowl, then took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth before casually saying, "I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother later. Would you like to come along, little sister?"
Upon hearing that she was to pay her respects to the old lady, Gu Yingxue immediately stood up.
"Sister, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the yard, so I'll go back first."
After saying this, he gave Gu Shuyan a simple bow and quickly left the North Courtyard with Fei'er.
"Someone, quickly go and fetch a doctor."
As soon as the master and servant left, Pearl and Jade anxiously gave instructions.
"Don't bother calling a doctor, none of you are allowed to go."
"Miss, we don't know what Gu Yingxue is up to. How can you not see a doctor after drinking the soup she brought you?"
Seeing that Gu Shuyan didn't care at all, Mingyu was extremely anxious.
"What do you think of Gu Yingxue today?" Gu Shuyan suddenly changed the subject.
Mingyu didn't understand what Gu Shuyan meant, but she still answered honestly, "She seems to be more composed than before. For example, when she was at the Marquis of Jinning's residence, although she didn't break off relations with Miss, it was still quite unpleasant."
"But the fact that she's so humble and trying to please me today is enough to show that Gu Yingxue has changed."
Gu Shuyan didn't know whether Gu Yingxue's changes were good or bad for her, but one thing was certain: she still hadn't given up on her previous plans, and might even be bringing them forward.
"And what about the maidservant beside her?"
Gu Shuyan continued to ask.
"He's clever and can give his master hints at crucial moments; he shouldn't be underestimated."
Mingyu answered seriously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan turned her gaze back to the pearl.
Seeing this, Pearl thought carefully and said, "I'm afraid this girl is smarter than Chunyan and Chunxiang. To be able to go from a gatekeeper to a personal maid is not something that can be done by being clever. It requires a lot of scheming and methods."
“That’s right. It’s not enough to go from a third-class gatekeeper to a first-class maid. You also need a catalyst, a catalyst that will make Gu Yingxue trust you.”
Gu Shuyan didn't say what the trigger was; it all depends on whether the two of them can figure it out.
"Let's go! To Yunxiang Courtyard."
"But Miss..."
Mingyu was about to offer more advice when Gu Shuyan interrupted, saying, "Don't worry, at least today's soup is fine."
At Yunxiang Courtyard, the old lady called Gu Shuyan over as soon as she saw her.
"Why did you come so early today, little girl?"
Normally, Gu Shuyan is the last to arrive when paying her respects, but today she is the first.
