Chapter 30 The Grand Secretary is Angry
Looking at the familiar gate, Gu Shuyan seemed to come back to life.
"Brother Yun, thank you for bringing me back."
Gu Shuyan got off the carriage and tried to wave at it with what she thought was a cute smile, but the man inside completely ignored her.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan cursed Yun Yichen in her heart, but smiled and said, "Take care, Brother Yun. Remember to visit our home when you have time."
After saying this, Gu Shuyan turned to go inside, but just then the carriage of the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion stopped at the gate.
Immediately afterward, Madam Ji rushed over and said, "Shuyan, where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere, I thought you were lost. If it weren't for Wu Ma telling us to come back and check first, we'd probably still be looking for you at the Marquis of Jinning's residence!"
As Ji Shi spoke, she stepped forward to check on Gu Shuyan, completely unaware that a carriage was still parked outside the gate of the Marquis of Yi'an's residence.
The carriage curtain fluttered, and Gu Shuyan instinctively shrank her neck. Seeing Yun Yichen's gaze, Gu Shuyan forced a smile at him.
However, the other person remained expressionless throughout, with only their eyes silently questioning Gu Shuyan.
"Um, listen to me." Gu Shuyan hurriedly tried to explain, but the man had already lowered the carriage curtain and coldly ordered, "Return to the manor."
Watching the ornately decorated carriage disappear into the distance, Gu Shuyan patted her chest, feeling a pang of sadness.
Oh no, the Grand Secretary is angry! Her journey to win back her husband is going to be a long and arduous one!
"My daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Shi had not yet noticed anything amiss. Seeing Gu Shuyan patting her chest, she assumed that Gu Shuyan was feeling unwell.
Looking at her mother's loving gaze, Gu Shuyan felt even more choked up. She gave her a helpless look—Mom, please be more careful!
The servants looked at their mistress and thought to themselves, "Madam, can't you be more careful? Can't you feel this freezing atmosphere?"
Ji Shi was naturally unaware of what others were thinking. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to find a doctor to check on her two daughters to see if they were injured.
When Gu Yingxue woke up, she was already back at Xueyuan.
"Miss, please drink your medicine first!"
The maid Chunyan brought forward the freshly brewed medicine, but before she could get close to Gu Yingxue, Gu Yingxue knocked the bowl over.
"What's the point of drinking? Do you think drinking will salvage my reputation?"
Thinking of that scene by the pond, Gu Yingxue felt like fainting. With so many people seeing her disheveled, forget about finding a good marriage partner; she'd probably become the laughingstock of the capital.
And that bitch Gu Shuyan, couldn't she have just obediently let her push her into the water? Why did she have to deliberately avoid it at that moment? Even a fool wouldn't believe it wasn't intentional.
Thinking that she might have been tricked by Gu Shuyan, Gu Yingxue became even angrier and picked up a pillow from the side and threw it at Chunyan.
"This was all your doing. You said it was flawless, is this what you call flawless?"
Seeing Gu Yingxue's fury, Chunyan immediately knelt down.
“Miss, it was all my negligence. I thought that village girl was stupid, but I didn’t expect her to be so difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I had already taken you away before those ladies and young ladies arrived, so no one saw what happened to you after you fell into the water.”
Chunyan took all the credit for herself, since her young mistress was unconscious and knew nothing at the time, so it was better to keep it a secret than to reveal Gu Shuyan's identity.
