Chapter 128 Envy
Zhong Lin was very satisfied with his abilities; who else but him could have done something like transforming someone overnight?
So, preoccupied with his pride, Zhong Lin failed to notice the helpless expression on his master's face.
Sure enough, we still need to find a guard with better judgment.
The Grand Secretary, who was forced to return to his new residence, was not happy, but none of the people around him could tell that he was unhappy.
In the evening, Gu Shuyan finally heard about Li Yingxue's arranged marriage to a guard.
"Miss, I heard that this was suggested by the Grand Secretary. I thought that with His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude, he would definitely marry her as a concubine! I never expected that with just one word from the Grand Secretary, she would become the wife of a guard."
Pearl laughed so hard she almost fell over, and it's hard to imagine what Li Yingxue's expression would be when she found out.
"But that day, the young master also said that he wanted to make Li Yingxue a concubine of the emperor. Was it because the young master said something to His Majesty in private that His Majesty agreed to the chief minister's proposal?"
Mingyu thought about what Prince Luo had said that day, and felt that it should be his credit.
Although the Grand Secretary seemed to have helped her young lady, Mingyu really couldn't like him because of his cold attitude towards her young lady.
As for Prince Luo, although he seems a bit aloof, he is genuinely kind to her young lady. More importantly, Prince Luo once saved her life. Although she doesn't know what Prince Luo looks like, since he is the son of a princess and a duke, he can't be too bad-looking.
Thinking this, Mingyu's heart instantly sank to her armpit.
Gu Shuyan didn't have any particular thoughts on what the two were saying. Although the Crown Prince was the Empress's legitimate son, his talent was far too mediocre.
It's likely that they weren't the only ones who didn't want Li Yingxue to become a concubine; the Emperor thought the same way. As for Yun Yichen, Gu Shuyan didn't think she was qualified to have him speak on her behalf.
Thinking of this, Gu Shuyan sighed dejectedly. It had been a long time since she had seen Brother Yun, and she wondered what he had been busy with lately.
And then there's myself. Although I've started to grow now, I haven't been back at the Marquis's residence for very long, so the results aren't yet significant.
"Miss, Madam requests that you have dinner at the Old Madam's place."
A young maidservant came in and relayed the message from Yunxiang Courtyard.
Gu Shuyan nodded and dismissed the maid before changing her clothes.
"Mingyu, you stay in the courtyard. Pearl can come with me."
Gu Shuyan gave Mingyu a look, and seeing Mingyu nod, she then led Pearl towards the old lady's courtyard.
After Gu Shuyan left, Mingyu slowly walked out the door and stretched.
"Finally, we can rest. Muying, go to the kitchen and bring over some food. Remember to get the best, and tell them you're saving it for Miss's midnight snack."
Mingyu was instructing a second-class maid, and everything she said was for Gu Shuyan's sake, but everyone present knew that she was actually planning to eat it herself.
Lately, whenever the young lady isn't in the courtyard, Mingyu always orders them around, just like Chunxiang back then.
But Mingyu was favored by the young lady, and these shameless maids dared not offend her.
Mu Ying smiled and said a few kind words to Ming Yu, but then went to get the food. In her heart, she felt the same contempt for Ming Yu as everyone else.
"When Mingyu first arrived, she seemed quite well-behaved. Now, after only a short time, she's already so successful. I really wish I had been the one who caught the young lady's eye back then."
