C16 Disbelieve

"Eldest Miss, come this way."

The servant leading the way in front was tall and powerful, there was a twisted scar on the back of his hand, and all the servants on the way were men, his hands were thin and callused, the hands hanging by his side subconsciously tightened, with a single glance, one could tell that these people were all martial artists.

After hearing about the brilliant achievements of the Seventh Prince, it was likely that these people thought of it as a strong martial arts master.

She was led to the backyard, where the snow was falling in a blur. All she could see was an eighteen-foot-long bridge, covered in white snow, with flowing water flowing beneath it, a four-sided pavilion on the side of the bridge, and a tall pavilion with gauze hanging from its eaves. What was left for rest in the courtyard was a small courtyard, a large room with three rooms on either side, and a small kitchen.

Astonishingly, there was a signboard on the bridge — Dawn.

Stopping under the eaves, the servant opened up a path and asked, "May I know the name of the residence Miss is staying in? I will immediately send people to change the plaque."

"No need, Morning Twilight is great." Gu Mingyan raised the corner of her mouth, raising her hand to sweep the snow on her shoulder. There were no paper men on the way, which made her feel more at ease, but after calming down, she had a dignified and beautiful appearance.

There are very few women in the mansion, and her highness's injuries have not yet healed. She has only given orders for the eldest miss to stay for a few days, which is located in the middle of the water. There are only two bridges available. The servant looked at his wrist which was half exposed from the sleeve, and quickly bowed his head, cupping his hands he said: "I heard that Eldest Miss Fang has returned from the countryside, and is still not respectful to us at Shengan. Your Highness has specially sent subordinates to inquire if you could find a mama in the palace …."

The Seventh Prince was considerate.

Gu Mingyan never liked red tape, most of her modern life was done in a reckless manner, now that she had learnt of etiquette, her father could not let her be cautious. If she rejected etiquette, she could live freely, and would not be shackled anymore.

"No need, I like to be at ease. Seeing that this small courtyard has plum blossoms, I'll have to trouble you to bring me a ladder." Gu Mingyan raised the corner of his mouth, he was curious about the atmosphere of being able to sit alone on the roof of a house and drink wine in a TV show.

Although the attendant did not know the reason, he still moved the long staircase over.

From the beginning till the end, he had not heard this young miss, who could not even think of eating, mention the Seventh Prince, which always made his subordinates unhappy.

Gu Mingyan thought of something. Seventh Prince had placed her in a remote courtyard, even if she did not want to see her, she had no choice but to treat him with respect. If she went over rashly, it would make the two of them unhappy.

In the end, it was the words of their parents' matchmaking partner, Seventh Prince probably did not mean it in this way.

Just as she stepped onto the bridge, Qiu Mei, who was behind her, tugged on her sleeve with a frown: "Miss has not looked at Seventh Prince yet."

"Seventh Prince is severely injured, and it's winter right now. I brought a cold chill along to disturb him, so I'm afraid he might be infected if he recovers, not to mention …" Gu Mingyan only tapped the side of his waist with his hand, the wound on his back had not fully healed yet.

There was no reason for the Prince of Tian Clan to be tainted with blood and qi.

Qiu Mei was still somewhat angry, but Chun Ying smiled and said to the servant: "Zhang Chi's speed is the truth, the young miss and Seventh Prince are not married yet, so there is no need to be so intimate, I just request that Your Highness send someone to inform me once you have recovered so that we can prepare to meet again."

Hearing these words, the corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he nodded like that.

These words were very good. It was in line with everyone's words and it was not lacking in etiquette.

The servant then heaved a sigh of relief, and after cupping his hands, he handed over the money pouch to Chun Ying: "If there are any more offenses, Your Highness has little intentions, if there are any other needs, I will have to trouble the ladies to pass on the message."

Chun Ying was feeling a little awkward as he held onto his money bag, while his face also turned pale.

When they came over, Madam Liu and Old Master had indeed not sent over any silver coins, and were still eating other people's money.

Gu Mingyan walked over and personally placed the money bag into his hands. He smiled lightly: "Thank you."

Gu Mingyan calmly put away the money pouch and slowly stepped onto the bridge. Standing on top of the bridge, he looked at the flying snow on the water, as though it was a beautiful scenery.

The servant looked on dumbfoundedly. After a long time, he turned around the corner and disappeared.

Gu Mingyan stepped into the house. Two books were hung on the walls and on the shelves, there were a total of 200 books, but there were all four treasures written on the table. There were no needle and thread inside the woman's room.

Seeing that there were a lot of clothes in the cupboard, Chun Ying placed the bag back into the cupboard and stopped tidying it up, then said: "Seventh Prince's twelve years old age has left the Shengan with the army. A few years ago, he returned with a whole set of achievements, and the horse bandits at the border all trembled when they heard his name, let alone the small countries that were eyeing him covetously around.

After saying his battle achievements, Qiu Mei also followed up: "I heard that this Seventh Prince is born handsome, even though he has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, he is still filled with an easygoing aura. Normally, he would be a noble, but with the blade in his hand, he is a god of death, and even more so, a prince whose heart is at the apex of the imperial palace."

From the looks of it, the Seventh Prince had also prepared everything in detail, it was truly a good match.

But Gu Mingyan rolled his eyes in his heart, how could there be such a perfect person in this world? He lazily sat down and raised his eyebrows at the two: "If they send more silver, then it's over."

"If that's the case, wouldn't that be giving our Prime Minister's Mansion some face?" Qiu Mei's brows deeply furrowed, "This servant will still have to return …"

"Let Chun Ying go back and talk to daddy, if you leave, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat lunch, he has already brought the entire kitchen over, he definitely won't even send the food in." Gu Mingyan spoke in a pitiful manner, almost lying on the table while blinking his eyes.

Chun Ying was a close relative who served the Old Mistress in the first place.

But Qiu Mei was a person in the backyard, even if he was exposed to the food in the kitchen, he could still cook a good dish.

The two of them had no choice but to separate their duties. When Gu Mingyan was left alone, she dipped her teacup in tea and wrote down the names of the two maids on the table. Her eyes were cold.

Qiu Mei was sent to the side of the Madam Liu, he was an old man so he was not afraid of making a mistake, he was just there to watch.

Although Chun Ying was sent by the old lady, she was suspicious that something had happened to her.

In a situation where he did not know the details of the two of them, Gu Mingyan still decided to disperse the two of them. She then took her money pouch and leisurely left the Zhou Mansion, stepping into the front courtyard.

Gu Mingyan took off her snow-covered feet and turned around to look, only to see the black hair of the lady behind her, carrying a heroic spirit, her beautiful eyes were narrow and gentle, her nose straight and thin, her lips straight and straight, her voice clear, extremely pleasant to the ears. After being stunned for a moment, she held onto the lady's powerful arm and asked: "Immortal elder sister?"

The girl's face reddened and the figure hiding in the corner laughed softly before disappearing without a trace.
