Chapter 55 Sending Silver
On the second floor of Baoxuan Residence, a man in flowing red robes, his elegance unparalleled, watched Gu Shuyan walk away and murmured to himself.
Zhong Lin, standing beside him, didn't dare to reply, wondering what had gotten into his master.
Previously, Miss Gu kept calling him "Brother Yun," but he never gave her a kind look. Especially on the night the prison cell burned down, he even made the girl cry.
Now they're concerned about whether the Marquis's family has money; it's truly baffling.
What are you still standing there for?
Seeing that Zhong Lin didn't react for a while, Yun Yichen casually forgot about coming over.
"Huh? What does Master mean?"
Zhong Lin was bewildered. What did this seemingly random question want him to do?
"I think you don't want to stay by my side anymore!"
The Grand Secretary gave him a cold look, and the sudden drop in air pressure made him shiver.
"I'll go and deliver the money to Miss Gu right away!"
Just as Zhong Lin finished speaking and was about to turn around, Yun Yichen added from behind, "And Xuan paper too."
"yes."
Zhong Lin quickly left the room, and only after he had taken the Xuan paper and completely escaped the oppressive atmosphere did he pat his still-beating heart.
The master is getting harder and harder to please these days! Should he switch places with the other side?
Gu Shuyan bought Xuan paper and picked out some pastries at the pastry shop before returning to the Marquis's residence.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mingyu rushed over in a panic.
"Miss, someone just brought you some silver notes." Mingyu lowered her voice.
"Send silver notes?"
Gu Shuyan didn't quite understand Mingyu's meaning. Just two days ago, Ji Shi had given her ten taels of silver. She wasn't short of money! Could it be that her mother was worried that she didn't have enough money and gave her more?
Gu Shuyan guessed without giving it much thought, until Mingyu took out a thousand taels of silver from her bosom, at which point Gu Shuyan was shocked.
"One thousand taels?"
Gu Shuyan was so frightened by the words on the silver note that she almost threw it away.
Even if the Ji family doted on her, they would never give her so much money. Looking at Mingyu's anxious expression, Gu Shuyan asked, "Who sent it?"
"It was a man, dressed quite well. Besides giving me silver notes, he also gave me Xuan paper. He even specifically asked the young lady's head maid to fetch it."
Mingyu was stunned. She had never seen that man before, but his tough attitude made her feel a little scared.
"Where's the Xuan paper?"
Mingyu pointed to a large stack of Xuan paper on the table, her expression full of trepidation.
Gu Shuyan looked at the stack of Xuan paper with a headache, and after going closer to take a look, she almost fainted on the spot.
"This is Xuan paper from Baoxuanju. I've seen the master and his sons use it."
Mingyu didn't know the types of Xuan paper, but Pearl recognized them at a glance.
Gu Shuyan knew this, which was why she felt a little dizzy.
Based on the price of Baoxuanju Xuan paper, this stack would cost over a hundred taels!
But then again, thinking about that thousand taels of silver, this little bit of Xuan paper seemed insignificant. Who on earth was so generous as to send her money and paper—oops, I mean, silver notes and Xuan paper.
After filtering through the people who might send her things after she returned, Gu Shuyan really didn't think anyone would do such a thing.
"Alright, just put the silver notes away! If we find out who gave them to you later, we can return them."
Gu Shuyan has no habit of taking other people's money for no reason.
Besides, is her family so poor that they can't afford to support her and have to spend other people's money?
Gu Shuyan had no idea that in the mind of a certain Grand Secretary, the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion was so poor that it could not afford Xuan paper.
The following evening, the old lady sent someone to call Gu Shuyan over for dinner.
But when we arrived, we realized that this was not just a simple dinner.
