Gu Shengyin only heard him say such words and imdiately knew that the person in front of her was clever.
She loved dealing with clever people most.
She raised her face and smiled at the Chief Steward: "I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather these past couple of days. Today, I’ve finally felt a little better, so I ca to see if there’s any hot water I could take back for a bath."
The expression on the Chief Steward’s face changed drastically upon hearing this.
He said to Gu Shengyin, "How could such a thing trouble the Third Miss herself to co here..."
Before he could finish, he noticed Gu Shengyin’s faintly smiling eyes, and instantly felt a chill: indeed, if there were servants around, how could the Third Miss possibly co here herself?
He changed his tune, quickly saying: "Would the Third Miss like to co in for so tea? I’ll have soone send hot water to the Third Miss’s courtyard right away. Also, should I assign a couple of clever maids to attend to the Third Miss?"
"No need."
Gu Shengyin looked at the Chief Steward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Chief Steward, but I prefer peace and quiet, without extra people disturbing . If the Chief Steward is willing, just have soone bring fresh, slightly warm als to my courtyard daily and send clean hot water at sunset."
The Chief Steward felt that, even though she was just a ten-year-old girl, the Third Miss’s eyes seed able to see through all his thoughts.
This Third Miss, who was always overlooked by everyone, seed not so simple.
While he was quietly pondering this, Gu Shengyin had already lifted her legs to leave,
She had finished what she wanted to say, and given the Chief Steward’s character, she was sure he’d et her requests well.
The Chief Steward squinted his eyes, watching the small figure leave.
Although that figure was slender and weak, her back was very straight. In that instant, the Chief Steward felt that he sensed an aura from the Third Miss that even the acknowledged genius, Yuan Tianqin, couldn’t match.
He laughed and shook his head, secretly amusing himself for being so muddle-headed today, actually perturbed by a little girl.
However, because of this, he kept a lookout and paid so attention to Gu Shengyin.
For the Chief Steward, it was just a matter of saying a word, but that casual word greatly improved Gu Shengyin’s life.
Soon, clean hot water was sent over, and Gu Shengyin happily took a bath. Just after changing clothes and before her hair was fully dried, she heard so familiar sounds outside the courtyard.
"Is Third Sister in?"
Gu Shengyin imdiately recognized who it was. She sat on the stool, using a dry towel to wipe her hair, completely uninterested in engaging with her.
That person, not hearing a response, didn’t leave, instead boldly pushed open the door without the permission of the owner after a while.
Seeing Gu Shengyin calmly sitting on the chair wiping her hair, a trace of anger flashed across her face.
"Sister was shouting so loudly outside, and yet Third Sister didn’t even care to respond, such imposing manners!" she sneered.
Gu Shengyin looked at the girl who seed only eleven or twelve years old. Obviously still at an age full of innocence and romance, yet speaking and acting as if she were old-fashioned. Showing a sneer with that still slightly chubby baby face wasn’t intimidating at all, rather a bit comical.
However amusing it was, when the ti ca to counter, she wouldn’t hold back.
Gu Shengyin slowly put down the towel in her hand, obviously with an elegant motion.
