Chapter 976: Give Some Face
"Oh, you poor thing. From now on, my Chenchen will protect you behind your back. No one will bully you in the capital." Si Xian had been thinking about who to matchmake for her nephew. Such a beautiful girl should be from their royal family.
I didn't expect she was a widow. What a pity.
The ladies present looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they had heard of the name Gu Yao. She was a businessman, but she was favored by the eldest princess and had the protection of the county lady. From now on, this woman named Gu Yao would become famous in the circles of the capital.
No matter who it is, you have to give them some face.
Si Chen took Gu Yao to talk to several elders present, and then took them away.
Tan Xiaomei was almost frightened to the point of having a heart attack. She had never seen so many distinguished guests before. The one sitting there was actually the eldest princess, the emperor's eldest sister.
She really made it big. She met so many people from the royal family, including the princess, several emperor's daughters, and several princesses.
After Si Chen took Gu Yao for a walk, he was called away by the maid.
After Gu Yao met the eldest princess, many young ladies knew about it. They secretly gritted their teeth in hatred, but did not dare to bully Gu Yao at will.
"Sister Yao, is this true? You're going to pinch me." Tan Xiaomei was almost laughing like crazy.
"What's true or false? Are you stupid?" Gu Yao patted Tan Xiaomei on the back.
"Ouch, it hurts quite a bit." Tan Xiaomei chuckled: "Thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to meet so many noble people. I've really made it."
"Silly boy, after dinner, let's find a yard to rest. Let's rest in the same yard for a while!" Gu Yao felt that these ladies were really a bit fake.
The way they speak is a bit artificial. It may be because they are not familiar with each other and are strangers, so this is the feeling they give people. It may also be the rules of ladies from wealthy families.
During the meal, Gu Yao was brought to the same table with the princess, which made Gu Yao feel uneasy. Many people looked at her with some malice.
She didn't want to either, but the princess asked her to sit at the same table with her. The eldest princess also liked to have good-looking people around her, and she would eat more when she ate.
Tan Xiaomei and Qian Yun sat at the same table.
After lunch, Gu Yao bowed to everyone and found Tan Xiaomei: "Go and rest quickly."
"Okay." Tan Xiaomei didn't say anything and followed Gu Yao.
Qian Yun was anxious. So many people were respectful to Gu Yao. Why? She was the most honorable person in the business circle. So many people were praising her, Qian Yun.
Now I can't have a conflict with Gu Yao. With Miss Qiu here, she smiled and said, "Miss Gu, we are all familiar with each other, so let's live in the same yard together. Come on, I'll stay with you."
Miss Qiu also said: "I will come too!"
Gu Yao's heart ached: "Is there such a big yard?"
The maid next to her said, "It's okay to squeeze in. But you are all ladies, it's not appropriate to squeeze together."
This little maid was arranged by Si Chen. You can tell what kind of person she is. It seems that Miss Gu doesn't like them, so it won't be a loss for her, a little maid, to be able to help.
Today, the two young ladies gave her a lot of benefits, including gifts and silver. She didn't usually get so much silver as a reward when she was in the palace.
Qian Yun was speechless. This little maid had no respect for Miss Qiu and her at all. Miss Qiu was the lady of the Earl's Mansion after all!
"You..." Qian Yun's fingers trembled, but he did not dare to continue questioning the maid in the palace.
Even the lowest-ranking maid in the palace was not someone Qian Yun could bully.
Qiu Zhenzhen immediately held Qian Yun's hand and said, "It's okay. Miss Qian, let's live in the same yard. Let's go!"
Humph, even though the princess looks up to you, you are still just a lowly merchant.
There is no way it can be compared with their Earl's Mansion.
Why does she have to give face to a businessman?
The maid brought the two of them to Plum Blossom Garden. This small courtyard was extremely exquisite and Gu Yao fell in love with it at first sight.
There are chrysanthemums everywhere in the yard. It is pleasing to the eye.
After Gu Yao entered the house, the brazier had already been lit and was warm.
He took off his cloak and handed it to Tiantian.
Tiantian had been busy for most of the day, and finally relaxed after entering the house.
"Miss, I was really scared to death today." Tiantian hung up her cloak.
"It's normal for something to go wrong at such a banquet in a wealthy family's mansion, but this time it's aimed at me. I haven't offended anyone! Except for that Qian Yun, she shouldn't have such ability, right?" Gu Yao is also confused now, but nothing is impossible.
Si Chen should be able to find the answer for her!
Gu Yao went to the inner room and lay down with peace of mind.
While feeling drowsy, a strange smell entered Gu Yao's nostrils.
While she was still conscious, Gu Yao took out a universal detoxification pill from the space and avoided the smell in the air.
Gu Yao held her breath at the cloying sweet scent.
I quietly went to the outer room and saw Tiantian lying on the small couch, soundly sleeping.
Gu Yao gently shook Tiantian and whispered in her ear: "Tiantian, Tiantian."
Tiantian lay on the small bed without any movement.
When Gu Yao heard someone prying the door open, she quickly hid behind it.
The door creaked and opened gently.
"Oh, my little beauty, your brother is here." A wretched man walked into the inner room.
Gu Yao looked at the back. She didn't see many men today.
But she knew this man. He was the bastard of the Earl's family. It was when she saw Qiu Zhenzhen talking to this man with a lecturing tone on her face that she knew who this man was. Because he was really ordinary-looking, among so many handsome men, there was one who looked ordinary, so Gu Yao remembered this man's appearance immediately.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her bare hands lightly, and scattered the powder, which disappeared into the air colorlessly and odorlessly.
The man who was walking towards the bedroom fell straight down the moment he lifted the curtain.
Only then did Gu Yao quickly stuff the pill into Tiantian's mouth.
Who sent this person here? She really didn't offend anyone today. It was just that Qian Yun didn't live in the same yard with her just now. Did she do it on purpose, or was it an intentional invitation?
Tiantian woke up dazedly and saw the young lady staring at her. She jumped up and said, "Young lady, you are awake. How could I have fallen asleep here?"
She was still confused and felt that it was totally wrong.
The lady wants to rest, but how can she rest?
"Look over there." Gu Yao pointed to the bedroom door.
"Ah, someone wants to bully the young lady?" Tiantian was surprised for a moment and went up to beat the guy up.
Gu Yao grabbed her and asked her to wait and not to act impulsively.
