This is awkward.
Never in sixteen years had Gu Jinyu felt such awkwardness.
How could Gu Jinyu ever have expected that the Marquis and Zhuang Yuheng would appear here in the middle of the night?
It was somewhat excusable for the Marquis to pass by, for after all, he was the owner of the Marquis Residence, but what about Zhuang Yuheng? What’s the deal with him?
How did he get here?
Thinking back on the things she’d said in her jumbled state of mind, Gu Jinyu felt utterly awful!
She could only pray that they hadn’t heard anything, yet the expressions on their faces told a completely different story.
They had heard, thoroughly, every single word crystal clear.
Gu Jinyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, rooted stiffly to the spot.
The brothers were also quite surprised by the Marquis and Zhuang Yuheng’s arrival, all except for Gu Yan.
Zhuang Yuheng had come in Gu Yan’s carriage, so naturally, Gu Yan knew he was in the residence, and that he had gone to see the Marquis to discuss his engagement with Gu Jinyu.
In fact, Zhuang Yuheng was a man of great responsibility. Even before Gu Jinyu came to seek him out, the Marquis had already privately approached him to have him hand over the marriage contract and to put an end to their engagement.
The Marquis, fearing that Gu Jinyu would be heartbroken, had kept it from her all along, thinking that it wouldn’t be too late to let Gu Jinyu know after Zhuang Yuheng had left, since by then, there would be nothing she could do about it.
But Gu Jinyu, unaware of any of this, took an unnecessary step by finding him the day before he left, willing to elope if it meant marrying him.
Her loyalty was so strong that even if Zhuang Yuheng no longer had romantic feelings for her, he couldn’t just abandon her.
But he would never really let her carry the stigma of elopement; he decided to come to the residence one last time to discuss their marriage with the Marquis.
He intended to ask the Marquis to give her in marriage to him and promised to treat her well for the rest of his life.
They had just finished exchanging pleasantries and were about to get to the heart of the matter when a servant came to report that the younger masters were making a fuss in the garden, seemingly over Gu Jinyu’s predicament.
