Chapter 327: Chapter 327: The Suffering First Wife VS The Upstart Mistress (Part 13) Chapter 327: Chapter 327: The Suffering First Wife VS The Upstart Mistress (Part 13) Zhang Mingshu had briefly pondered the Meng families in the Capital City; alas, Meng was a common surname and there were no less than ten Meng households in the city alone. She could not guess which family’s young lady Gu Shengyin was.

When Gu Shengyin removed the veil from her head during the meal, Zhang Mingshu felt as if the room was suddenly filled with light.

She had always taken pride in her own appearance, yet unexpectedly, an encounter with someone reduced her to nothing.

Suppressing the jealousy burgeoning in her heart, she smiled and said, “Sister Meng, your beauty really puts us to shame.”

Gu Shengyin smiled brightly, “In families like ours, we do not rely on beauty to serve others, so why bother making it a big deal?”

The remark hit Zhang Mingshu where it hurt most.

Indeed, like Sister Meng and others from prestigious families, everything was arranged by their families and relatives. With their family background, they could find a suitable husband without effort, unlike herself who had to strategically plan each step for her future, right?

Her interest waned after this, and Gu Shengyin, seeing the change in her expression, knew her thoughts must be troubled and left after sitting for a while.

Little did Gu Shengyin know, her departure had been seen by someone.

Qin Shao recognized her at first glance, the one who had just emerged from that large estate was his junior sister, Liang Chenyu.

Logically speaking, they weren’t well-acquainted since he hadn’t paid much attention to this junior sister before. Yet oddly enough, even though she was still wearing her veil, he recognized her at a glance.

However, it seemed that the Liang Residence did not have an estate here?

Suspicion arose in his mind and he instructed a person beside him, “Check who the owner of this house is. Also, inquire about what my junior sister did today, who she met.”

He worried that the young Liang Chenyu might have been deceived by someone.

The Hidden Guard nodded but then asked, “…Junior sister?”

Qin Shao calmly replied, “The daughter of our teacher.”

“Understood,” the Hidden Guard was shocked internally, not expecting the Grand Tutor’s divine favor to have grown so profound that even now, His Majesty referred to him with the respect due to a disciple.

Gu Shengyin was unaware that her movements were being thoroughly investigated.

By the time Qin Shao returned to the Imperial Palace, the information he wanted had been thoroughly gathered.

“You’re saying that the house belongs to the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion, the place arranged for that cousin involved with the Crown Prince of Zhenbei?” When Qin Shao heard this news, he was enraged.

So the decision made by the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion after being warned was just to change locations, to comfortably and well feed her? Very well, Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion.

“How did the junior sister come to know about that family?” Seeing the junior sister today, she showed no signs of anger, not appearing to be aware of the situation.

“Miss Liang’s encounter with Zhang Mingshu was merely a coincidence …” The Hidden Guard detailed their meeting at the Western Pavilion.

If Gu Shengyin were to hear this, she would have been amazed at the competence of the Hidden Guard who didn’t miss even the smallest details.

That is to say, the junior sister didn’t actually know who Zhang Mingshu was? She thought she had just made a new friend?

Qin Shao inexplicably felt pity for that girl with eyes like a doe.

“Alright, you may go now.” He dismissed the Hidden Guard and stood alone, sinking into thought.

A wave of anger surged within him towards Qin Yuanzheng, furious that he, having such a fine fiancee, was still obsessively fixated on a shameful woman who flirted with his own cousin.
