Chapter 316 Acting with Measure
With a hint of doubt, Gu Shuyan said, "Please come to the flower hall for a while, Miss Yan. I'll be there in a bit."
The old woman obeyed and left. Only then did the old lady look at Gu Shuyan and ask, "Is this Miss Yan the daughter of the rumored Vice Minister Yan in the capital?"
Although Yan Meier is not very old, she is quite famous in the capital, especially among noble ladies. Everyone knows that in recent years, among the children of high-ranking officials, there has been a charming and beautiful Miss Yan.
The rumors circulating behind the scenes weren't pleasant, which is why Old Madam Gu had some recollection of them.
"Yes, Grandmother, it is indeed that person."
As soon as Gu Shuyan finished speaking, the old lady's expression changed. Seeing that she wanted to say something more, Gu Shuyan spoke first: "Grandmother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't get involved with the other party."
Hearing Gu Shuyan's promise, Madam Gu nodded in relief, "You are sensible in your actions, and I am very at ease."
Seeing the old lady's expression, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but sigh slightly. In her previous life, the old lady was so angry about her second brother marrying Yan Meier that she didn't get out of bed for half a month, and her health deteriorated.
Now that Yan Meier is living her own life, that's fine. But since she's trying every means to get into the Gu family, then Gu Shuyan can't be blamed.
After giving Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe a few instructions, Gu Shuyan went to the front yard.
When she arrived, Yan Meier had already drunk half a cup of tea.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Sister Yan."
Although Gu Shuyan spoke politely, there was no hint of politeness on her face.
"I wonder why Sister Yan has come today?" Gu Shuyan said as she walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked up at Yan Meier with a smile.
"I mentioned sending sachets a couple of days ago! I happened to have some free time these past few days, so I made a few and brought them over for my sister to choose from."
Seeing that Gu Shuyan's expression was normal, Yan Meier quickly and affectionately placed several sachets on the small table next to Gu Shuyan.
"Sister Yan is indeed very skillful. Look at this sachet she made, it's so beautiful."
Gu Shuyan's face showed admiration and surprise, which made Yan Meier extremely happy.
"These are just some trivial things, please don't look down on them, little sister."
“I’m not complaining at all. If I had done half as well as my sister, I wouldn’t have had to ask her for this.”
After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, she gave Yan Meier a reproachful look before letting Mingyu put the sachet away properly.
After chatting with Yan Meier in the flower hall for a while, an old woman hurriedly came over.
"Miss, the old lady wants you to come over. She says it's about your marriage."
The old woman looked anxious; if it weren't for Yan Meier, she would have been ready to drag someone from the sky.
"My marriage? Hasn't anyone come to propose yet?"
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she suddenly stood up and looked at the old woman with a puzzled expression.
"Miss, you should go see for yourself!"
The old woman's gaze swept across Yan Meier's face, and after hesitating for a long time, she could only manage to utter this sentence.
"I understand, I'll be right there."
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan simply sent the old woman away, and then looked at Yan Meier apologetically and said, "Sister Yan specially came to give me a sachet, but I..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I will definitely treat Sister Yan to a good meal another day."
Having said that, Yan Meier naturally understood that this meant she was being asked to leave. "Sister Shuyan, you're too kind. You have things to do at home, so please go ahead. I'll head back now."
