Xiu Jie would not disturb the Elder Miss’ breakfast, if nothing serious happened, but the Min Mansion was not an ordinary family, so Xiu Jie came to pass on the message, fearing that something would be delayed.
Gu Chaoyan had just taken a beancurd jelly, when she heard the message. She was slightly surprised.
Back at the Min Family the day before, she knew clearly that despite her treatment of Madame Min, the Min Family were worried about getting too attached to her, and that they wanted to drive her away with money. So Gu Chaoyan decided not to spend too much time with the Min Family. So what was the Min Family’s servant doing here today? Was Madame Min sick again? Or were the Min Family trying to give her some more presents.
Gu Chaoyan frowned and lost her remaining respect to the Min Family. She was not very patient or interested in the Min Family’s messenger anyway.
She finished her snack, and then drank the porridge. When she was done with breakfast, she decided to have a meeting with the messenger.
Sword One shielded her and said with a small voice, “Elder Miss, what about letting me meet the messenger first?”
“…”
“It is just a maid from the Min Family, so we should meet her first and get to know what she needs, before making some other considerations.”
“…”
“What are the Min Family doing? They are supposed to be a noble family so why is she only sending a maid to ask for you?”
“…”
“We have no Elderly people here at Xinlin Mansion, but we should not be held in contempt!” Sword One said, sounding quite displeased.
Elder Miss did not care about those rules and everything, and she intended to do everything personally, but Sword One still did not want Elder Miss to have to deal with everything herself.
Hearing what Sword One said, Gu Chaoyan said with a smile, “True, you can do that now.”
Having said this, Gu Chaoyan returned to her own room.
She had not been feeling well these two days. She got tired easily.
Sword One had already gone to meet the servant from the Min Family.
“What do you need Elder Miss for?” Sword One asked.
“Where is Elder Miss Gu?” Jinxing said as she looked behind her.
First Mrs. Min asked her to pass on the invitation to Elder Miss Gu so that she could visit the Min Mansion, and that was because she wanted to meet Elder Miss Gu desperately. So Jinxing did not want to waste any more time, and intended to meet Elder Miss Gu directly, so that she could tell her the message. She knew what she should say and what to do.
Therefore, Jinxing was very unhappy to see just a maid.
Sword One was displeased as well, hearing her words.
How arrogant the Min Family were – the maid intended to meet Elder Miss personally?
“Elder Miss is in the mansion, but you can tell me what you need, so that I can pass it on to her,” Sword One said without showing any inferiority.
Jinxing knew that it was just a waste of time, and that she would be blamed for not being able to complete the mission fast enough. So she said straightforwardly, “First Ms. Min asks your Elder Miss to visit the mansion!”
Sword One nodded and turned around to pass it on.
Jinxing reminded her. “Also, please tell your Elder Miss that First Ms. Min loves the cream she gave to her.”
