Chapter 333 Reclaiming Fame
It was as if they were scolding the young maid for being ignorant. Everyone present wasn't stupid, and their expressions towards the two of them became even more unpredictable.
"Sister Shuyan, what are you saying? This little maid is too young to understand these things. She's just asking for help from whoever comes her way!"
Yan Meier, who had been able to feign grievance, could no longer keep up the act. Gu Shuyan's few words had stirred up suspicions in everyone. If she were to continue speaking, Yan Meier swore her reputation would be ruined.
Yan Meier was only thinking about protecting her own reputation, but she never expected that Gu Shuyan wanted more than just her reputation.
"Whoever comes to ask for help? How can a young lady's maid be so ignorant? It's only because Miss Yan is tolerant that she can tolerate such a maid by her side. If it were my maid, I would have sold her off long ago."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, her sharp gaze swept over the maid. The maid seemed to be frightened by Gu Shuyan's words and immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Miss Gu, please don't make my mistress sell me. I... I didn't mean to."
The maid's face was full of panic, and her gaze towards Yan Meier was filled with fear. Her body also began to tremble instantly.
The maid's sudden action surprised everyone present. What was going on? How did it suddenly turn into selling the maid?
“Miss Gu, it’s not that I don’t know the rules, but this matter was instructed to be done by you, Miss Gu.”
The little maid was still trembling, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Yan Meier, but the answer everyone had in mind was confirmed by her words.
"You lowly scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Enraged by the sudden bite, Yan Meier slapped the maid across the face.
"Tell me, who taught you to slander me like this?"
It was clearly this maid who took it upon herself to go find Sun Linrui, yet now she's blaming it on me. The maid is indeed my head maid, but who exactly sent her to ruin my reputation? Was it the concubine in the mansion, or her second sister?
Yan Meier's mind raced through several faces, but she didn't think of Gu Shuyan at all.
In her opinion, she and Gu Shuyan had always gotten along well, and Gu Shuyan had no reason to target her. But the person she least expected had started bribing her maidservants as early as their first meeting at the Jinning Marquis's residence.
"No, Miss. Just admit what you did! I don't think anyone would laugh at you even if they knew you were interested in Young Master Sun."
The maid's words became increasingly outrageous, but Sun Linrui was secretly delighted.
He had wondered how this maid knew so much about his whereabouts; it turned out she had long been in love with him.
The most beautiful thing in the world is discovering that the person you like also likes you. Seeing Yan Meier's face turn red with anger and she kick the maid, Sun Linrui immediately stepped forward and tenderly took her hand.
"When you sent me things before, I thought it was just to thank you for helping me at your home that day. I never expected that you would also have feelings for me."
For a moment, Sun Linrui, whose IQ seemed to be zero, didn't realize that in his affectionate words, he had inadvertently revealed what had happened at the Minister's residence.
Yan Meier was stunned by his actions, and before she could react, her hand was being held by him.
"Young Master Sun, please have some self-respect."
