The Bearing of a Large Family’s Young Miss (Part Two)
“Madam Gu, young miss, related young miss, this is young miss Yin. Lord Marquis ordered me to bring her here to be seated.”

The girl before them had a slender build. In her white clothes, she appeared to have a cold temperament. She was beautiful but also looked a little sorrowful.

After the granny introduced her, she stepped forward and bowed to madam Su, “Greetings, madam Su. My father is Prime Minister Yin. He was unable to come today, thus he had my eldest brother and I come to congratulate Lord Marquis Gu on his birthday. Because I rarely go out, eldest brother brought me to see Lord Marquis first.”

It was no wonder she arrived so late. It turned out that she had gone to see Gu HuaiJiang first.

Yu Fu looked at her face and felt that her temperament was a little similar to that of Yin Shuo, but her facial features were not the same.

These siblings, they were not born from the same mother, right?

Seeing that she spoke kindly and courteously, madam Su smiled and said: “So it was the young miss of Prime Minister Yin’s family. Sure enough, you have extraordinary qualities. Young miss Yin, please sit.”

Su Yunyan saw that she had a slender build and thought to herself that if Princess DanYang saw this, she might die from the anger. It was fortunate that she happened to just leave.

Thinking of this, she could not stop herself from laughing.

Yin JiYao carefully sat down where Princess DanYang had been sitting. Suddenly hearing Su YunYan’s laughter, she looked over in confusion.

“Young miss Yin, please don’t mind. Sister Su isn’t laughing at you. We were telling some jokes just a little earlier.”

Yu Fu quickly spoke up to resolve the awkward atmosphere, and Su YunYan hastily nodded her head. Yin JiYao looked at the two with a smile.

It looked as if she was looking at both of them, but her gaze was mostly focused on Yu Fu. Yu Fu noticed this very acutely.

This young miss Yin was sizing her up.

Yin JiYao was indeed sizing her up.

“During the Mid-Autumn Festival’s imperial banquet, JiYao had the fortune of seeing young miss Yu Fu. Your performance was exceptional. At that time, I thought that for young miss to be so skilled at such a young age, it was truly worthy of admiration. Seeing you today…”

She covered her mouth. The curve of her smile was very restrained, “To say something a little improper, young miss Yu Fu, it seems like young miss Yu Fu has grown up a little. You’re like a bud that is just about ready to bloom without fear of winter’s ice and snow.”

Su YunYan quietly clicked her tongue.

When this young miss Yin opened her mouth, she spoke in a scholar’s tone. She had clearly praised Yu Fu, yet she prefaced it by self-effacingly saying it was “improper.”

In contrast, Princess DanYang was far too uneducated. When she insulted others, there was not the slightest bit of shame.

Yu Fu smiled at her and thought to herself that she was merely looking at her clothes.

“Young miss Yin’s praise is excessive. Everyone says that I have grown taller. But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I did not see young miss Yin. Seeing you today, you truly have the temperament of a lotus.”

The one who had just been praised for her beauty returned the praise. The bearing of a large family’s young miss was on full display.

Yin JiYao wanted to talk with her some more, “I very rarely go out. During the Mid-Autumn Festival’s imperial banquet, I was seated behind my eldest brother and did not attract any attention. That young miss Yu Fu did not see me is quite normal, but everyone in the hall definitely saw you.”

“Alright, alright, stop going back and forth with the young misses. Since we all know one another, we shall refer to each other as sisters. Going back and forth with calling each other young miss, doesn’t it create quite a divide?”

Su YunYan spoke up to cut them off.

In the past, she had thought that Yu Fu was a girl from the wilderness. It was only now that she found that she herself was like a girl from the wilderness in front of these two.

JinLing was a place that did not have many prominent families. Interpersonal relations were relatively simple. They were not as complicated as they were in the capital, where one needed to remain courteous and maintain a smile.

Madam Su helplessly and dotingly looked at her.

This was the reason that she felt that Su YunYan could not marry Gu ShuBai and become his legal wife.

Yin JiYao and Yu Fu exchanged a smile.

“Sister Yin.”

“Sister Yu Fu.”

Before the play concluded, Yin JiYan also stood up, “Madam Su, please enjoy the show. I will go and take a walk before coming back.”

Yet another had left for a walk.

Princess DanYang had not yet returned from her walk, yet another one had left.

Su YunYan looked back at the corridor behind them. The wind was so cold and fierce. Who knew what there was to see on these walks.

“Yu Fu, what do you think they’ve gone to do?”

The two quietly whispered to each other behind madam Su’s back.

“I don’t know. It might be that they very rarely come to Marquis Gu’s Manor and wanted to look around.”

Suddenly, they heard Gu HuaiJiang’s voice come from the other side of the curtain, “Today is this marquis’ birthday. Many thanks to all for coming in support. Let us drink to this!”

He lifted his cup, and everyone present followed suit.

Yin Shuo and Kun WuShang were seated with the sons of Marquis Gu’s Manor. They were treated as if they were honored guests, and the two would occasionally exchange a look.

This seventh prince of Western Kun was allegedly Yu Fu’s older junior disciple, and he had watched over her since she was little. Today, he would definitely need to try and get Yu Fu’s true identity out of him.

This eldest son of the Yin family allegedly held more prestige in court ahn his father. He was not an average person. He would need to find a chance to chat with Yin Shuo. Who knew, maybe he could make use of Yin Yan to restrain Gu HuaiJiang.

Everyone raised their cups with their own thoughts in mind. Gu ShuBai’s cup was quite full when he raised it while looking at Kun WuShang with a smile.

“Seventh prince, our previous quarrel was my fault. Would seventh prince please not mind it.”

Oh, this modest smile was completely different from the infuriated look that he had that day.

Just as Kun WuShang was hesitating as to whether or not he should return this toast, Gu ShuBai continued: “After all, I am Yu Fu’s elder, and you are her junior disciple. I would have an unfair advantage.”

“You!”

Kun WuShang had become accustomed to acting as he wished in Eastern Ling. Not being able to beat Gu ShuBai was fine, yet he wanted to claim a cheap victory?!

He angrily furrowed his brow.

He then suddenly heard Gu HuaiJiang say: “Taking advantage of this marquis’ birthday celebration, I have a joyous matter to announce.”
