<h4>Chapter 489: Princess Yunxi as the Witness</h4>


    The Gu Mansion were now the most poprly discussed family in the whole capital.


    There was no one promising arising from the Gu Mansion, the only thing they were good at was marrying off the girls – the Old Master’s sister was married to the King whilst now, the two daughters were all marrying Lords.


    Why?


    That was exactly what therge families in the capital would always ask.


    The Gu Mansion had already influenced many families’ interests, and when their interests were offended, they would be pushed to the top of the topic whilst everyone else was waiting for them to fall.


    Gu Chaoyan exchanged a few looks with Sword One as they watched the gossiping going on. They had not shown any extra expressions. They sat down calmly and took a sip of tea.


    Hopefully, the deceased original host would feel slightly gratified – the bitterness she used to suffer was now returned to Mrs. Gu little by little.


    Gu Chaoyan was about to take one bite of the pastry, when someone came forward. “I did not expect that you would be so skilled.”


    Gu Chaoyan saw the girl. “Princess Yunxi?”


    She did remember Princess Yunxi, whom she met once in the court. It was when Gu Ruxue forced her to perform.


    Princess Yunxi seemed to have just said onement – “you are different from what I imagined.”


    Then they never met each other again, and she was never reminded of this girl.


    However, now they met again, unexpectedly.


    Gu Chaoyan had a sense that Princess Yunxi was not a person with any ill intention, so she smiled. “What made you say so, Princess Yunxi?”


    Princess Yunxi looked at the distance and pursed her lips in that direction. “Isn’t that what you have achieved?”


    She used to hate the Elder Miss of the Gu Family – what kind of girl could be so stupid as to lead such a terrible life. However, the two meetings had changed her opinions about this Elder Miss.


    On the first asion, she was so good at ying the zither that those who intended to humiliate her got humiliated instead.


    On the second asion, she pushed those who once hurt her to the center of conversation.


    She was not at all stupid. She was way too excellent.


    She had not thought about epting Xunyang’s proposal but now she was fully willing to do so.


    “Gu Chaoyan, I heard that you are hosting the Adulthood Ceremony, I can be your witness, feel honored?” Princess Yunxi asked. She was willing to do so, but she was afraid of being turned down, so she made a baffling gesture.


    Gu Chaoyan was surprised, but she found it suitable.


    She had needed a witness, so if Princess Yunxi was willing to do so, she would be more than happy to do that.


    She nodded with a smile. “I feel honored.”


    Princess Yunxi let out a sigh of relief. That was great – if she dared to turn her down, she would not let the matter go.


    “Then get someone to pick me up at the mansion!” Princess Yunxi said with a high-raised tone, “I am off now, my mother doesn’t know I am here.”


    As she finished saying these words, she hurried off before Gu Chaoyan said a thing.


    When Princess Yunxi was gone, Gu Xiuying suddenly started to think about different things – she was no longer going to hesitate about being the assistant for Gu Chaoyan now. Princess Yunxi was going to be the witness, so if she could end up standing with Princess Yunxi, that would be of a great honor! If she could make friends with Princess Yunxi on this asion, then she would have nothing to worry about.


    Gu Xiuying was already starting to make a n about her smooth life that was about to start – she was going to live as great a life as Gu Ruxue!


    As she thought it through, she decided not to wait. She shouted. “Hey, Chaoyan!”
