Gu Yundong widened her eyes and looked at the woman in shock.
She almost responded when someone called her name. Fortunately, she immediately realized that the woman was not referring to her.
The old woman in the kitchen quickly brought over a pot of birdâs nest and smiled brightly. âItâs here. It was stewed early in the morning. Hurry up and send it to Concubine Gu.â
Gu Yundong was speechless. She almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her surname was Gu, and her name was also Yundong?
Not only did they have the same given name, but they also had the same surname.
The woman snorted coldly. âOur Yundong is the person Second Young Master loves the most now. All of you are snobs. You donât take her seriously at all. I just asked you to stew the birdâs nest. Youâve been delaying for so long, and you want me to come over personally to get it. If thereâs a next time, Iâll sell all of you.â
With that, she carried the birdâs nest and walked away arrogantly.
As soon as she disappeared, the few old women in the kitchen spat at her back. âYou really think too highly of yourself. Your daughter is just a concubine, and you still think sheâs a proper master? How shameless.â
âJust wait. Second Young Mistress is not free yet. When sheâs free, who knows how long Concubine Gu will be able to hold the position.â
Seeing how brazen they were and how they dared to complain in front of the delivery man, it was obvious that they did not take Concubine Gu and her mother seriously.
The corners of Gu Yundongâs mouth twitched. Hearing Concubine Gu made her feel uncomfortable all over.
The steward had just finished speaking to the middle-aged man and let them leave.
It was too late for Gu Yundong to find an opportunity to leave. She could only frown and leave the kitchen in defeat.
However, she learned that the second young master of the Xin family had taken in a new concubine who was her namesakeâ¦
Forget it, forget it. Thatâs not important. They just had the same name. How could she not allow it?
Second Young Master seemed to dote on this concubine quite a lot now. Perhaps she could start from her.
Gu Yundong thought as she followed the middle-aged man out of the back door of the Xin residence.
As soon as he came out, the middle-aged man said to Gu Yundong, âAlright, Iâve done what Brother Yu asked of me. Iâve returned the favor I owed him. Thatâs all. You donât have to follow me anymore.â
Gu Yundong nodded. âThank you.â
âNo need.â The middle-aged man asked the worker beside him to push the empty cart away.
When the worker saw that Gu Yundong was not fighting with him for the job, he immediately became happy. Before he left, he even gave her a smile. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yundong sighed and walked towards the alley. Tong Shuitao was still there.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she suddenly saw a group of people gathered there, pointing and talking about something.
Gu Yundong frowned. Tong Shuitao had already seen her and hurried over.
âMiss, youâre out? How are you? Are you alright?â She looked Gu Yundong up and down nervously.
Tong Shuitao was also wearing menâs clothes. After all, she had wanted to follow them in at the beginning. Unfortunately, her plan had failed before she could say it.
Gu Yundong shook her head and pointed at the crowd. âWhat happened there?â
âI think someone was thrown out by the servants of the Xin family just now. Itâs said that he was beaten. Itâs quite serious.â
Gu Yundong suddenly recalled what the two maids had said. He must have been beaten up by the Second Young Master of the Xin family, right?
She had no intention of meddling in other peopleâs business. She brought Tong Shuitao and walked straight through the crowd.
However, just as she passed by that person, a faint voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
âYundongâ¦â
