He drained the cup in his hand.

Such a man was Gu Yan.

Had it not been for Su Yunjin being his wife, Young Master Chu wouldn’t have minded taking Gu Yan under his wing, letting him work at the Prince Qi Residence to become a capable aide for himself. With a man like Gu Yan by his side, he would definitely become an asset to his Prince Qi Residence.

Thinking of Su Yunjin again.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Young Master Chu called his men and left together.

······

Su Yunjin was unaware of Young Master Chu keeping an eye on her. After parting ways with Madame Qin, Su Yunjin went to look for Gu Yan. When she reached the place where she had sat with Gu Yan before, she was surprised not to find him there. Gu Yan had said he would sit there waiting for her to return, but Su Yunjin had not expected that he would be gone when she came back.

What happened?

Where was Gu Yan?

No one at the Prince Qi Residence knew Gu Yan?

How could Gu Yan have disappeared?

Filled with confusion, Su Yunjin stood in her original spot, looking around, but still failed to spot Gu Yan. With him missing, she hesitated whether to search for him.

Gu Yan was unfamiliar with the Prince Qi Residence, whereas she had been there a few times and roughly knew her way around. Considering this, Su Yunjin decided to go look for Gu Yan immediately.

She had barely taken a few steps when someone blocked her path. Not thinking much of it, Su Yunjin tried to go around the woman and chose a different direction.

However, when Su Yunjin changed her direction, the woman still stood in her way. If the woman’s initial obstruction had seemed accidental, now Su Yunjin no longer thought so. Clearly, the woman in front of her was there to provoke her.

Su Yunjin stopped walking and sized up the woman in front of her. She saw that the woman had a sharp chin and a round face. After thinking it over, Su Yunjin did not recall knowing the woman.

"Miss, we don’t seem to know each other, do we? Why are you blocking my way?" Su Yunjin stopped and looked at the woman in front of her.

Several girls who appeared to be around the same age as the woman followed her, and it was clear that they knew each other well, the kind that were acquainted in their usual lives.

As Su Yunjin spoke, she gave a faint glance at the girls behind the woman and noticed that they too seemed eager to start trouble.

At this, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but smirk.

She didn’t recognize any of these people and genuinely couldn’t understand why they would go out of their way to pick a quarrel with her. However, Su Yunjin was not afraid of any of these women.

If they wanted a quarrel, so be it.

Who was she to be afraid of?

This was the Prince Qi Residence’s territory, where both the Princess Consort Rui and the Old Princess were present. Today was also the Little Prince’s full-month celebration, and Su Yunjin did not believe these people would actually dare make a scene at the Little Prince’s event at the Prince Qi Residence.

Su Yunjin did not regard these people as important. Seeing how Su Yunjin looked at them without subservience or fear, the leading lady snorted coldly and began to speak with a face full of sarcasm, "Oh, isn’t this the coarse woman who sells wine on the streets? What brings you to such a distinguished place as the Prince Qi Residence? Surely it’s not that Prince Qi Residence’s servants have neglected their duties, and you didn’t just slip in through a dog hole, did you?"

"Right? The people coming to Prince Qi Residence today are all respectable. How can there be such clueless cats and dogs? They don’t look at their own status yet dare to come to Prince Qi Residence?"

"Tsk, I just can’t stand people like this. Who knows, they probably knew that everyone visiting Prince Qi Residence today was of high status and deliberately came here to climb up the social ladder."
