Chapter 472: Golden List Successor, Acting Master to Teach Disciples
In the Gu family's main hall, Matchmaker Chen, who had acted as the go-between before, sat squarely in the seat of honor with an imposing air.
Gu Chang and Mother Gu sat accompanying her to the side, looking more like guests themselves.
"Let me make myself clear right from the start; that matter with Miss Sun is not yet settled!" Matchmaker Chen glanced sideways at Gu Chang, her voice slightly sharp, "For the sake of your son, I even offended the Sun family!"
"Yes! Yes!" Before Gu Chang could speak, Mother Gu had already replied with an apologetic smile, "Last time he was ignorant; this time, we must trouble Matchmaker Chen again."
"You two will sleep here from now on; first put your luggage in your own cubbies!" Mu Xiang led them to the side, where the storage units were built wall-by-wall in a grid of compartments.
The moment her words fell, Gu Yucheng on the other end of the phone hung up, clearly furious.
"How could this be? What exactly, exactly happened?" Li Rui covered her mouth in sheer disbelief, her eyes fixed intently on the figure in the bed, instantly feeling heartache and worry for Qianqian.
Because Shu Lin Yu was still injured and needed ample rest to recover, all ceremonies for her investiture as a consort were simplified; Ming Shiyun had intended to accompany Shu Lin Yu back to the Xiyu Courtyard, but Eunuch Yin, from the Emperor's side, secretly passed a message saying the Emperor requested she stay.
She naturally knew that Ming Yuan disliked outsiders entering the manor; Zhou Zhou was already an exception, and even that exception had been made only because of her.
Ling'er was touched to the core by his words; her confession just now had indeed come from the heart, and even if she died now, she would have no regrets, yet having it suddenly pointed out made her feel shy, and she quickly buried her head in Xiao Ran's embrace.
Xiao Ran's reply was concise and clear, causing the frost on Ruan Mingyue's face to gradually melt away, while she inwardly sighed that although the youth had suffered such a great calamity today, he showed not a trace of despondency and even sought to make up for his impulsive and reckless faults.
Atobe Keigo simply did not care about Jiro, okay, so he did not even want to open his mouth to speak to Jiro, because that would be unglamorous.
After arriving at the Hundred Herbs Hall, the feeling of how they got along with each other resembled her own home so closely that she could not help but think of her father and mother; she greatly envied Mu Xiang, for although her parents were gone, the master had never treated her as an outsider, and Uncle Bai and Aunt Yang treated her like their own child.
Zhang Jiaze tightly hugged this second child he was meeting for the first time, weeping with joy; moved to the depths of his emotion, he kept smacking his lips against the child's cheeks, and before long, the child began to cry, the wail high-pitched and resonant.
With no time to ponder these unsettling emotions, Huo Yixin only wanted to hear Ning Shuiyue's voice; as for how he would answer, it did not matter.
After calculating the rooms needed... he and Rong Wanxi would share one, Lei Ting and the others would need at least one, Lu Wanxi would definitely occupy one for herself, and the four maids could squeeze into one, so four rooms would be just enough for them.
Seeing Shi Hui agree, Ao Guang immediately ordered preparations, invited the guests who had not yet departed to witness the event, and Ao Bing performed the ceremony of bowing to a master.
"Younger brother, do not rush; you will know soon enough." However, when He Jin saw Zhao Yi approaching with a face full of anger, the smug smile on his face instantly vanished; he looked Zhao Yi up and down, and upon noticing the water stains on Zhao Yi's clothes, his eyes shifted as if he had thought of something.
After exiting the main hall's great door, Shi Yao indeed saw Prince Wei looking around in all directions, trying to find a path down the mountain.
In her heart, she was naturally very unwilling and secretly lamented her plight; she actually wished these people would come in and search, and moreover, she hoped they would definitely find some unspeakable things belonging to Lu Caixi; if Lu Caixi fell, she would no longer have to serve in the Xianglai Courtyard, and even if she were demoted to do menial labor, she would rather that than endure such suffering.
This startled Shi Yao; when had she heard someone say something similar to her before, and yet, when she tried to recall, she found nothing.
"Hiss!!!! So troublesome??" Captain Song gasped in shock; he truly had not expected the tombs of the Talin tribe to be so troublesome.
