Yang Ying’s face turned red with embarrassnt as she said, "My grandaunt is the Duke’s aunt by marriage."
She gestured towards the Princess’s direction, "Look, sitting beside the Princess is my grandaunt."
Yan Pei frowned, taking a mont to figure out the family connections.
She stared at Yang Ying, "Since your grandaunt is also part of the Jiang Family, you must know sothing."
"Why don’t you tell us about the Young Master and that girl’s affair?"
Yang Ying was sowhat excited, feeling it was her mont to shine.
Hurriedly, Yang Ying recounted a few words her grandaunt had casually ntioned: "According to my grandaunt, this Miss Gu is a doctor, and the Princess had her examine her just yesterday."
"As for the Young Master... Oh yes, my grandaunt said the Young Master is extrely clever, and his studies are excellent."
Born handso, with great academic achievents.
Yan Pei’s eyes shone as she looked at Jiang Youzhi.
Such a graceful, charming man was exactly the husband she dread of.
Before she ca, her mother had hinted that most of the excellent young masters in the Capital City were already engaged, and advised her to pay attention to any outstanding young talents at the Plum Blossom Banquet.
She had initially set her sights on a few, but once Jiang Youzhi arrived, her eyes saw only Jiang Youzhi.
At this mont, a girl in an apricot-colored jacket scoffed, "I don’t find this Young Master all that impressive. He only just returned to the Capital City; how could we know about his literary talent? Surely, soone’s trying to boost his reputation."
Yan Pei chuckled softly, "Ling Wei, upset because your spot as the Young Master’s wife is gone?"
Ling Wei’s face was cold, with no attempt to hide her displeasure.
As the legitimate eldest daughter of Marquis Changping, she agreed to an engagent with a useless son like Jiang Han only for the position of the Young Master’s wife.
Now that things had turned out this way, she couldn’t marry as the Young Master’s wife but had to marry down significantly, which she couldn’t accept!
Ling Wei glanced towards the Princess’s side and saw Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao had already stood up and moved aside to talk; they appeared very close.
She sneered, "Yan Pei, you shouldn’t be so smug; don’t you see, the Young Master already has soone, your plans are in vain."
Yan Pei also saw Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao talking. Not only that, but she also saw Lin Shuo from the Wu’an Hou Mansion join them, the three conversing with warmth and familiarity.
A round-faced, round-eyed girl next to them exclaid, "Ah, Mr. Lin is back in the Capital City."
Previously, Lin Shuo’s incident of killing Marquis Wu’an’s concubine and leaving ho had spread wildly across the Capital City, making Lin Shuo’s presence a surprising sight.
Yan Pei frowned, "That Miss Gu is really annoying. If Young Master’s looks rank first in the Capital City, then Mr. Lin’s can rank second. Why should she monopolize both of them alone?"
Several of the nearby girls thought similarly but were too embarrassed to say it.
At this mont, Yan Pei looked at Yang Ying, "Co to think of it, that Miss Gu is a relative of yours; go and bring her over, we want to have a word with her."
The girls familiar with Yan Pei understood her intention; she was surely planning to make fun of Miss Gu.
anwhile, Lin Shuo was talking with Yun Jiao about his mother’s illness, "My mother used your dicine, and these days seems much more lucid, no longer talking incoherently."
"Whenever she sees , she seems to have sothing to say but stops short. I feel she is completely aware now. Does she need to continue taking this dicine?"
