“Miss, you’ve already been promised in marriage. There was news that the Qing family has started preparing for your wedding with Young Master Yukong. Master and Madam have already agreed,” the maid said to Gu Xiruo.
During the time when Miss was undergoing treatment, the news arrived. At that time, it was a critical moment, so she didn’t say anything.
Gu Xiruo turned sharply to look at her maid, her eyes filled with anger. “What did you just say?”
“A few days ago, there was news from the capital. When the servant tried to tell Miss about it, she was stopped by Miss.”
Gu Xiruo frowned, thinking about the events of the past few days. She did intend to discuss something with her maid, but at that time, she was in the midst of treatment, and she didn’t pay much attention.
Who would have thought that what she wanted to discuss was this matter?
“Why does the Qing family suddenly want us to marry? It seems that because Young Master Yukong was injured for Miss before, and Miss has been avoiding this marriage for years, the Qing family is a bit unhappy.” Over the past two or three years, the Qing family has been hoping that Miss would marry Young Master Yukong. However, Miss has been avoiding it, and they naturally became upset.
Gu Xiruo furrowed her brows, somewhat impatient. “The Qing family is really persistent.”
They had just pushed off this marriage matter last year, and now it was coming back again. Moreover, her parents had actually agreed to it.
They didn’t even ask for her opinion before agreeing to this request.
This made her very dissatisfied.
“Miss…”
“We’re going back.”
“Yes.”
As Gu Xiruo hurriedly returned to the capital with her maid, Su Yu also received news from his subordinates.
Back to the capital, good news.
“Xiao He, want to hear a piece of news? Interested?” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhao with a smile.
Wang Jinhe, intrigued by Su Yu’s mysterious demeanor, replied, “What news?”
“Gu Xiruo has rushed back to the Valley of Divine Physician.” Su Yu smiled as he shared the just-received information with Wang Jinhe.
Wang Jinhe’s eyes lit up, suddenly interested, “She knows about the wedding date with Qing Yukong?”
“She already knows, and it’s because she knows that she rushed back anxiously. Gu Xiruo won’t marry Qing Yukong willingly. Whether it’s Qing Yukong or Lu Lingfeng, they are just pawns to her. With Gu Xiruo’s ambitions, she will never obediently marry anyone.” Su Yu said with great certainty.
Supporting her chin, Wang Jinhe said with interest, “Isn’t Gu Xiruo afraid of playing herself into the Qing family’s hands?”
“I don’t know what she’s thinking, but I can tell you one thing directly – she might make Qing Yukong give up the marriage.”
Wang Jinhe was somewhat skeptical. Since Qing Yukong likes Gu Xiruo, getting married should be what he desires. If they are about to get married, why would there be second thoughts?
“Love is humble, and fearing to upset the other party is just like that,” Su Yu shrugged and said.
“What’s so good about Gu Xiruo? That a young master from a prestigious family would be like this?” Wang Jinhe asked.
“I don’t know about that. Perhaps others think she’s exactly the type they like?” In the eyes of those who like her, Gu Xiruo is different. The saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” holds true.
“In that case, she probably won’t have time to bother me. As for Gu Sheng couple, they really are blind.” Even if he doesn’t like that couple, Gu Sheng couple, she couldn’t help but comment.
Seeing Wang Jinhe like this, Su Yu frowned and asked, “Are you still concerned?”
“Well, it’s just that I feel sorry for the original owner. This couple is deaf and blind.” Even when everything was delivered to them, this couple could still give the items to Gu Xiruo. Didn’t they ever have any suspicions?
Thinking this way, Wang Jinhe found it somewhat ridiculous.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe like this, feeling somewhat worried in his heart. “Xiao He, are you really okay? Do you need me to do something?”
“I want Gu Sheng and the others to know the truth about Gu Xiruo’s illness,” Wang Jinhe said to Su Yu.
She had always been forced to bear these things, and now it was time for Gu Xiruo to receive the gifts.
“That’s possible, but Gu Sheng and his wife may not believe it. After all, in their eyes, Gu Xiruo is perfect and wouldn’t do anything harmful. Besides, she has no connection with you, so why would she come to you for trouble? These are all questions.” Su Yu understood Wang Jinhe’s intention, which was to make Gu Sheng and his wife suspicious of Gu Xiruo.
However, Gu Xiruo had been acting in front of Gu Sheng and the others for many years. Even with simple evidence presented to them, as long as Gu Xiruo said a few words, everything might be ignored.
Wang Jinhe naturally understood this, and she whispered, “I never intended to make Gu Sheng and his wife suspect Gu Xiruo this time. My goal is just to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts.”
Once they had doubts, it would be easier for her to do whatever she wanted.
Seeing Wang Jinhe like this, Su Yu couldn’t help shaking his head in helplessness. “You…”
“Is it not okay?”
“It’s fine.”
“Then I’ll trouble you with this matter. By the way, I remember you mentioned that Gu Xiruo has a brother. How is her relationship with her brother?” Wang Jinhe thought of Gu Xiruo’s brother.
She wondered if she could find a breakthrough from this person.
“It’s average. To be accurate, the relationship between the siblings is not good. Gu Xiruo wants to get close to him, but her brother doesn’t like her at all.”
Wang Jinhao asked in surprise, “Why?”
“All of Gu Xiruo’s tricks are useless in front of her brother. He used to treat Gu Xiruo well, but probably found out what kind of person she really is. After advising her without success, he stopped caring,” Su Yu explained briefly.
Wang Jinhe was very interested in this: “Help me investigate this person more. I want to see if I can find any leverage from him.”
“Sure, I’ll let you know if there’s any news. Why did you suddenly decide to take action against Gu Xiruo? You didn’t show much interest in these matters before. It’s surprising that you want to take the initiative now,” Su Yu said, feeling somewhat unexpected and incredible.
Wang Jinhe cleared her throat and muttered, “There is a saying, ‘Strike first, strike hard.’ I don’t want to suffer any losses in this matter.”
Previously, due to what Gu Xiruo did, she felt very wronged. Now that she finally had the opportunity, she certainly wouldn’t let it go.
“What are you worried about with me around?”
“You have your own things to do, and besides, I can’t delegate everything to you. What kind of leader would I be if I did that?” Wang Jinhe frowned.
Although Su Yu didn’t say it, she could feel that staying here made Su Yu busier with his own matters. Many things in his business required his involvement.
