Chapter 210: Don’t Like That

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since Gu Xian’er returned from the Gu family, she had been promoted as a second-class maid.

She guessed that it was probably because Nanny Qian had told her about her relationship with Gu Yundong that Young Madam had such intentions. Perhaps she wanted her to help do something.

However, Young Madam did not see her much after that. This made Gu Xian’er feel a little conflicted.

Fortunately, as a second-class maid, her work became much easier. Her monthly salary was also raised, and she even had the time to dress up.

She even understood a lot of things in the Peng Residence. For example… Young Madam was a jealous and scheming person, and Concubine Xia was favored. Young Master liked women with curves. Be it concubines or servant girls, they were all this type.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Qian came over today to say that Young Madam was looking for her.

Gu Xian’er tidied her clothes and hair before following Nanny Qian to the Ruyi Garden obediently.

There was no one else in Madam Yao’s house other than her. When she saw Gu Xian’er, she looked up slightly.

“Have a seat.”

Gu Xian’er was flattered and carefully sat down on a chair at the side.

A trace of disdain flashed across Madam Yao’s eyes. She took a sip of tea and asked, “I heard that you and that girl called Gu Yundong are cousins?”

“Yes, Young Madam. Gu Yundong is indeed my cousin. It’s just that…” She hesitated. “She doesn’t have a good relationship with me.”

“Then how well do you know her? Do you think the young master will like her?”

Gu Xian’er was stunned. For some reason, she felt excited. However, she still looked like she was thinking carefully. After a moment, she said uncertainly, “I don’t think so. Young Madam, my cousin used to be very weak. I don’t know what happened on her way to escape. She has changed a lot.”

“Oh? What’s changed?”

“It’s just that she’s bold. In the past, she cried at the drop of a hat and didn’t like to go out. But that day, when I saw her in Yongfu Village, I felt that she wasn’t messy at all. She talked to people in a very organized way and didn’t look like a country girl at all. I don’t know if someone taught her.”

She frowned in thought and answered as if she was not scheming at all.

However, Madam Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Did someone teach her?

“Then why do you think that Young Master won’t like her?”

Gu Xian’er touched her head and said softly, “I just think that she looks average. Be it her temperament or appearance, she’s far inferior to Madam. Young Master would never like her. Moreover, if Young Master really likes her, why didn’t he just take her as a concubine instead of letting her hang out with other men in that countryside?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, so Young Madam doesn’t need to care about her at all.”

Madam Yao chuckled softly and rubbed the lid of the cup with her fingers. “But why do I feel that Master seems to think highly of her?”

“Well…” Gu Xian’er thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps something happened between the two of them? Perhaps my cousin helped Young Master before? That’s why Young Master looks at her differently. It might not be a romantic relationship. Otherwise, my cousin, who has been working so hard with her silly mother and young siblings, would’ve hurried into the manor to enjoy life after meeting someone like Young Master, right?”

Madam Yao nodded. “What you said makes sense.”

“Actually, it’s very simple if you want to know what’s going on between the two of them,” Gu Xian’er said softly.

“Tell me..”
