Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 820 - 656: The Eldest Princess Invites

Yao Mengxian didn’t want to discuss further; she feared that Mrs. Yao might go to find Brother and Brother, with his nature, would certainly not help conceal Aunt’s whereabouts, possibly revealing Aunt’s whereabouts to Father and Grandfather.

"Your brother is heartless, treating you like this!"

How could Mrs. Yao not understand? Earlier, Mrs. Ke didn’t have any children, perhaps Feng had already been influenced by Mrs. Yao.

He might be dreaming of inheriting the title! But what if Mrs. Ke gives birth to a legitimate son? Can Feng still smoothly inherit the title? This fool!

Mrs. Yao was so angry that her chest heaved violently; she couldn’t believe that a kind and upright person like Liang Family could have such a heartless son.

Only because Liang Family passed away early, the good child was brought up wrongly.

She couldn’t bear to watch Feng go wrong again; now that Liang Family was gone, she had to help watch over him for Liang Family.

Mrs. Yao, in a fit of rage, blurted out something so shocking that it startled the other three people.

"I want to return to the Duke Mansion!"

Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian lost their interest and no longer wanted to look at the inscriptions.

The two returned the same way and headed straight to the side room.

"The vegetarian dishes in this temple are very famous, Mother, you should have more." Gu Chengyu smiled as he introduced it to a few elders.

"I’ve long heard that the vegetarian dishes here are different from those in other temples. Today, we must taste them well." Sun’s mother also responded with a smile.

"May I ask, are Mr. Gu’s family members inside?"

A voice suddenly rang out, disrupting the pleasant atmosphere.

Gu Chengyu frowned, wondering who it was. Why hadn’t Ming Mo come to report, and yet this woman shouted from outside?

"Xiao Bao! Did you run into someone you know?" Mrs. Lv had only been in the Capital for a short while, so this must be directed at Xiao Bao.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, indicating he didn’t know; just as he was speculating who it could be, Ming Mo came in.

"Sir! Outside is Nanny Chang, who serves Princess. She heard that we came to Bao En Temple to offer incense, so she asked Nanny Chang to pay a visit." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gu Chengyu’s heart sank at the thought of the recent incident, wondering if this was an unfriendly visit?

Otherwise, someone of his status would not be noteworthy to the Eldest Princess. He didn’t think that just because of the last painting, the Princess would regard him differently.

"Let Nanny Chang come in," Gu Chengyu replied in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After a moment, a woman dressed in a lilac-colored pair-collared jacket appeared before Gu Chengyu.

"This old servant greets Mr. Gu! Greetings to all the elder ladies! Greetings to the young master!"

Nanny Chang curtseyed to everyone with a face full of friendly smiles, looking very amiable.

If Nanny Chang’s earlier loud call was somewhat lacking in manners, her manners now were impeccable.

"Nanny Chang, there is no need for so much courtesy!" Gu Chengyu dared not act big and stood up to reply.

He knew that the servants of wealthy families were not easy to deal with. Nanny Chang’s earlier impudence was likely to see him in person.

As for what the purpose was, he could guess a little.

"Oh dear! It’s this servant’s fault for interrupting the enjoyment of Mr. Gu and the ladies having a meal."

Nanny Chang seemed to have just noticed that Gu Chengyu and they were eating, and her face was full of apologies.

Gu Chengyu smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said, "We’ve just started eating. Nanny Chang, have you had your meal yet?"

Nanny Chang’s face stiffened; she felt that Gu Chengyu’s half-smiling look seemed to see through her intentions.

"It was presumptuous of this old servant; Mr. Gu, please forgive me," Nanny Chang said, but her mind was already calculating.

What is the rank of the Eldest Princess, yet Mr. Gu dares to put on airs?

Mrs. Lv and Sun’s mother felt somewhat uncomfortable with what they were hearing.

Eldest Princess? What kind of noble person can that be? They didn’t know why she came to see Xiao Bao.

Mrs. Lv put down her bowl and chopsticks, feeling that the delicious dishes in front of her were hard to swallow.

"Nanny Chang, you’re being too distant. I was unaware that the Eldest Princess had also come to Bao En Temple today; otherwise, I should have visited earlier. It’s my lack of manners that caused you to run this errand."

Gu Chengyu placed down the cleaning cloth, realizing that today’s meal wouldn’t be finished. He sighed inwardly.

"The princess just heard that Mr. Gu and the ladies came to Bao En Temple to offer incense, so she wants to invite Mr. Gu and the elder ladies for a chat. May I know if the two of you are available?"

Nanny Chang glanced at Gu Chengyu, having heard about Mr. Gu’s eloquence, and wasn’t expecting him to be so good at telling fibs.

The Princess had long known about the Commandery Princess meeting Mr. Gu. With such a grand setup in the temple, how could Mr. Gu not know the Eldest Princess was also here?

"Mother, let’s go visit the Eldest Princess for a while. Aunt, Brother Sun, you can continue eating; forgive us for excusing ourselves first."

Gu Chengyu instructed, though he was feeling a bit displeased. Since the Eldest Princess had sent someone to invite them, they couldn’t refuse. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Royal Family.

Sun Xian worriedly glanced at Gu Chengyu, already thinking of the previous incident, naturally feeling concerned.

Mrs. Lv, however, was a bit panicked; the highest official she had ever met was the previous owner, Jiang Mingyuan. The sudden visit to the Eldest Princess made her uneasy.

Coincidentally, today she only brought the servant girl Qingxia, while the Dumb Granny didn’t come along, increasing her anxiety.

Gu Chengyu stepped forward and held Mrs. Lv’s hand, saying, "Mother, let me support you."

Nanny Chang had long noticed Mrs. Lv; Gu Chengyu’s appearance resembled Mrs. Lv greatly, making it obvious to an outsider that they were mother and son.

Seeing Mrs. Lv coming in, Nanny Chang was struck by surprise at her looks, as this woman was truly stunningly beautiful.

Even at her age, as a grandmother, she still had stunning beauty, no wonder she had bewitched Lord Jiang back then.

Mrs. Lv, held by her son’s trembling hands, looked at Xiao Bao’s resolute eyes, her heart calmed down.

Dumb Granny had taught her many rules; now was the time to test her. She couldn’t let Xiao Bao lose face.

Otherwise, in the future in the Capital, she wouldn’t just be a laughingstock, but Xiao Bao would also be mocked by his colleagues and those aristocratic families.

"Please, Nanny Chang, lead the way!" Gu Chengyu said, turning to Nanny Chang.

"Please, follow this old servant." She was only inviting Mr. Gu and his female relatives; as for the others, she was naturally not bothered, as they weren’t people of any status.

While supporting Mrs. Lv en route to the wing where the Eldest Princess was, Gu Chengyu sneakily handed a small embroidered pouch into Mrs. Lv’s hand.

Mrs. Lv was puzzled, and Gu Chengyu silently mouthed the word "meeting gift," finally enlightening Mrs. Lv.

She didn’t wear much jewelry today, but every piece was exquisite and precious, all personally crafted by Xiao Bao from the silver building.

What Xiao Bao gave her was presumably a meeting gift, perhaps for any youngsters encountered at the Eldest Princess’s place.

Gu Chengyu and his group followed Nanny Chang into a small courtyard, and everywhere in this courtyard exuded exquisite taste, much more luxurious than the outer rooms.
