The little maid pushed Yang Qiu outside after speaking, then stepped inside the gates of the Guo Mansion, and said to the house servant next to her, "Close the gate quickly."
Seeing that the gate of the Guo Mansion was about to be closed, Yang Qiu grew anxious. She wanted to go inside to see if the Guo Young Mistress, who looked like her, was actually her sister.
Regardless of the circumstances, she had to confirm this. She hurriedly reached out to stop the gate from closing and said anxiously, "Please don’t close the gate yet. I ca with the Guo Young Master."
Upon hearing this, the little maid thought Yang Qiu was trying to deceive the young master by taking advantage of her resemblance to the young mistress. She said displeasedly, "Who are you trying to fool? If you really ca back with our young master, why would he leave you alone at the gate?"
The little maid had just returned from running errands for her master and hadn’t seen the young master enter. She only saw Yang Qiu standing alone at the gate. Yang Qiu’s resemblance to the young mistress and her inquiry about the young mistress’s na convinced her that Yang Qiu was a fraud.
Used to being bullied from a young age and never daring to talk back, Yang Qiu, despite so change in her character since returning to the Yang Family, still felt timid in such situations and didn’t know how to respond.
She was extrely anxious, knowing she couldn’t get into the Guo Mansion right now. If she really couldn’t get in, she planned to plead with the Guo Young Master tomorrow. Just as she was about to give up, the house servant at the gate spoke up, "This girl indeed ca off the young master’s carriage. The young master seed to have had too much to drink, and it was the coachman who carried him in."
The house servant’s words made the little maid unsure, "Really? She ca off the young master’s carriage?"
"Miss, I’m not lying to you. I really ca with the Guo Young Master," Yang Qiu hurriedly explained, clinging to this last hope.
At this mont, the coachman who had gone inside ca out, "Miss Yang, have you been waiting anxiously?"
"Please explain to them quickly that I’m not a bad person, that I ca with the Guo Young Master," Yang Qiu urged the coachman to testify for her.
The coachman looked at the house servant and the little maid at the gate and understood what Yang Qiu was saying. He helped explain, "This is soone from Xiangxiang Cloth Shop, here to select fabrics at the young master’s Dyeing Workshop. She’s the sister of that Miss from the Wang Family, who has a very good relationship with the young master."
Upon hearing that she was the sister of Miss from the Wang Family, the little maid panicked. In recent days, Madam Guo had often ntioned the arrival of the Miss from the Wang Family’s sister, keeping everyone in the household busy preparing things for fear of neglecting her.
Now that the sister of Miss from the Wang Family had arrived, and she had treated her with such an attitude, even calling her a fraud, if Madam found out, she would be severely punished. She quickly apologized, "Miss, I’m sorry, I was just, just..."
Seeing the flustered appearance, Yang Qiu, who was not one to make things difficult for others, said, "It’s okay, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."
"Hmm, you’re such a kind person, Miss. Please follow inside," the little maid said, preparing to lead Yang Qiu in.
At this mont, the coachman asked, "Miss Yang, is this..."
Finally able to enter, Yang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since I’m already at the gate, I should at least go inside to pay my respects. Why don’t you go to the Chu Mansion and let everyone know for ?"
"Alright, should I co back to pick you up later?"
"No need, no need," the little maid quickly replied. Since the sister of Miss from the Wang Family was visiting, Madam would certainly insist on having her stay at the Guo Mansion.
