After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 99

So they had never thought from the beginning that such a pie falling from the sky would land on Gu Ying's head.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it seriously.

Gu Jia's heart panicked, and suddenly looked up at Qian, it was impossible for Gu Ying...impossible!

How could Gu Ying's marriage be better than hers!

What right did she have to ride on her head? She should have married someone like Liu Jianren, and lived a life of bowing and scraping, without seeing the light of day!

Mrs. Liu smiled out two deep dimples, "The woman who the Prince saw must be the best woman under heaven. I just wonder why I don't see that woman here?"

Everyone suddenly held their breath.

Gu Old Madam frowned, and Mrs. Liu also widened her eyes.

Gu Jia had a bad premonition in her heart...

When Qian saw no one answering her, she asked again, "Old Madam, where is your second granddaughter, Gu Ying?"

As soon as her voice fell.

The people in the hall had unbelievable looks on their faces.

After the scandal with Gu Jia, Gu Ying's engagement was cancelled in a high-profile manner by the Marquis of Yong'an. These days, her aunt had been everywhere to no avail. She had almost no reputation left in Bianjing. How could she possibly have been seen by the Heir of Zhenguo Duke Manor?

Gu Old Madam was the first to disbelieve, suspecting that Qian had misheard, "Lady Qian, did the Prince really say my second daughter?"

Qian said, "This old body certainly didn't mishear. I have been in this business for so many years, this old body certainly wouldn't make any mistakes."

Gu Old Madam's brows were still frowning. She was obviously not very happy with the choice being Gu Ying from the second house, after all, Liu Jianren was still at the manor, and it was only a matter of time before the two got engaged.

She hurriedly pulled Qian aside.

"Lady Qian, let me tell you, my second daughter just got engaged to a young master of the Liu family a few days ago. The young master and his mother from the Liu family are still in my manor. We were just discussing the marriage between the two children today, but Ying got a cold in the middle and went back to her yard first. Then Zhenguo Duke Manor's people came, so we didn't get to finish the discussion."

Qian was taken aback when she heard this, "Old Madam, this is... already settled?"

Gu Old Madam said, "It's not settled yet, but it's almost certain."

Qian looked at Gu Old Madam in disbelief. This old madam of the manor was really strange. She was giving up such a good marriage from Zhenguo Duke Manor?

Being seen by the Heir of Zhenguo Duke Manor, even if she was engaged, she could have just rejected it outright. Offending a Liu would be better than offending the Heir, wouldn't it?

Why did this old madam look so reluctant?

"Lady Qian, can you please ask the Prince to come in person? This old body wants to discuss properly with him—"

Qian had a dilemma on her face. She had been a matchmaker for so many years and had never encountered such an eccentric family.

She was about to refuse, when Huai An, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Old Madam Gu is right, this matter does require my master to come and discuss in person!"

Qian shut her mouth and said nothing.

Huai An was a military man, tall and strong, with bronzed skin. At first glance he looked very imposing, but his eyebrows were still handsome. His eyes, however, were as sharp as knives.

Of all the women in the room, only Gu Old Madam could still hold her ground before him.

The old madam smiled. "Master Huai is right."

Huai An looked around at the people in the hall, ready for a "battle of tongues against a group of women." Anyway, even if the sky fell down, his mouth would hold it up.

No matter what, he had to keep all these women steady in the front hall until after the young master had finished his business.

Huai An began to deliberately make things difficult for the Gu family.

Gu Old Madam listened with her brows furrowed. Things were different today, so she secretly sent someone to the yamen to ask Gu Boyan to come back.

But she also knew that even if Gu Boyan came back, it wouldn't be of much use.

If Gu Ying was really coveted by Zhenguo Duke Manor, they had no other way to resist the Duke Manor.

It could only be said that with Gu Boyan back, she as an old woman from a prestigious family could negotiate with the Heir of the Duke Manor with more confidence.

Gu Jia listened in trepidation to Huai An's vivid account. At this moment, a panicked young maid suddenly came in through the side door.

The maid went to her side and lowered her voice, "Eldest young lady..."

Gu Jia was impatient, but didn't dare to lose her temper at this moment. "What is it?"

The maid said, "The young master is now in Suiyu Pavilion..."

As soon as Gu Jia heard this, her heart flared up in anger.

Not only did this man go to Suiyu Pavilion behind her back, but he was also secretly plotting something with Gu Ying!

Now, he actually dared to be half naked and thrown into the snow, obviously he had ill intentions but failed and was kicked out!

She was so angry that she viciously kicked him twice.

"You dog of a man! A dog can't change eating shit! What's so good about that Gu Ying? Where am I lacking compared to her? You took advantage of me but still want to touch her? You really are low!"

She glared fiercely at the maid, "You little slut, go see what's inside the room!"

The maid went in trembling, came out shaking her head, "Second young lady is not inside..."

Gu Jia didn't believe it at all.

She strode in three steps to personally find out the truth.

The bedding on the bed was messy, the window half open, and there were strands of silk threads scraped off Gu Ying's clothes above.

The more she looked, the more certain she became that something had happened between Jiang Yin and Gu Ying.

With a gloomy face, she walked out, only to see Jiang Ling'er, who didn't know when she had run over, crying pitifully next to Jiang Yin, "Eldest young lady, brother is about to freeze to death, hurry and save my brother!"

Save his ass!

Dark clouds shrouded Gu Jia's brows and eyes. With her vicious nature, it would be best if Jiang Yin died here now.

But Jiang Yin was someone she used to torment Gu Ying, and now he was also her only future reliance. She really had no choice. Gritting her teeth, she scolded the maid, "What are you still dawdling for! Hurry up and get him dressed and taken back to Cangwu Pavilion! Do you want to embarrass us even more?"

The maid hurriedly agreed and went to find people.

Soon, several trusted servants came in and carried Jiang Yin away.

The thorn of Jiang Yin secretly meeting Gu Ying, although not big, stabbed Gu Jia's heart sharply.

......

And at this moment, the overlooked Twilight Snow Studio.
