A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 150 Miss Ji's Difficulties Gui'er's Flattery

Although Sha Yanxiao rejected Ji Yiru's proposal in a tactful way, after moving, Gui'er found that she was not in the room designated by Sha Yanxiao, but in a room next to the utility room.

Gui'er asked the servants what was going on, and they all said timidly that Miss Ji had asked her own servants to move it.

Sha Yanxiao frowned and said to Ji Yiru, "Why are your people so unruly?"

Ji Yiru said coquettishly: "They are new here too and got the wrong place. It's better to just let it go. The rooms are the same anyway."

Sha Yanxiao looked at Gui'er and asked, "What do you think?"

Gui'er knew that this was because Ji Yiru felt embarrassed that Sha Yanxiao had rejected her move to the utility room, so she deliberately asked her servants to move to the wrong one. Anyway, the layout of the rooms was the same, so Ji Yiru didn't want to argue with her and said, "It's all right."

Sha Yanxiao touched her head and said, "If you feel uncomfortable living here, tell them and move back immediately."

Gui'er nodded obediently, but caught a glimpse of Ji Yiru's cold gaze out of the corner of her eye.

The next day at school, during the break, Gui'er was chatting with Tong Yujun. Now that she was back at the Marshal's Mansion, she would face Ji Yiru's troubles, and school had become Gui'er's happy time.

Tong Yujun said to Guier, "My aunt has suggested going to Shanghai to study again."

Gui'er was quite surprised. Ever since the eighth concubine failed to keep her child, she had been unknown and seemed to be deliberately reducing her presence.

However, because she was young and beautiful, more beautiful than the other concubines, Dingxiang said that the Marshal still often went to see her.

Gui'er asked Tong Yujun, "Did the Marshal agree?"

Tong Yujun said, "I did agree, but the Marshal said that he had a lot of things to do at home recently and asked her to wait until the marriages of his two sons were completed before leaving."

Gui'er was quite surprised. Suddenly, she had an inspiration. She could actually use the excuse of going to school to leave the Marshal's Mansion. In this way, she could still get some protection from the Marshal's Mansion and would have a relatively easy time outside. However, she was still young now. If she wanted to leave, she would probably have to wait a few more years. During these years, she would have to swallow her anger and even try to please Ji Yiru.

Having made up her mind, Guier asked Dali to drive to Wing On Department Store after school. She wanted to buy a wedding gift for Sha Yanxiao and Ji Yiru.

After walking around for a long time, Gui'er still couldn't make up her mind. She knew Sha Yanxiao would be very happy to receive her gift, but it was not certain about Ji Yiru. She was a young lady from a wealthy family in Shanghai, and she usually lived a life of luxury. There were many better things in Shanghai, much richer than in a small place like Jiangcheng. If she bought some ordinary things, she would probably look down on them. But Gui'er really didn't have the ability to buy something too expensive.

Now, in addition to the money that Sha Yanxiao had taken her to deposit before, Gui'er also had twenty or thirty silver dollars and some change. She couldn't buy any beautiful jewelry with it, let alone imported goods.

After wandering around the merchandise section of Wing On Department Store, Gui'er was getting anxious because she still couldn't find the right one. Suddenly, she saw a pair of porcelain dolls in a glass cabinet. They were dressed as a bride and groom, wearing modern wedding dresses, which was quite fashionable at the time.

Guier glanced at the price tag and saw it was imported, costing five silver dollars. Guier had never bought anything so expensive before. After hesitating for a long time at the counter, she finally accepted it and asked the salesperson to wrap it up nicely, making it look more fashionable.

After returning to the Marshal's residence, he made a small card and wrote on it: I wish Mr. Sha Yanxiao and Miss Ji Yiru a happy marriage and eternal love.

Then he gave it to them while Sha Yanxiao and Ji Yiru were there.

Sha Yanxiao was quite surprised to receive the gift and said with a smile, "My little Gui'er is so well-behaved and sensible that she even thought of giving me a wedding present."

Ji Yiru was a little nonchalant at first, but when she opened the gift and saw that it was a pair of porcelain dolls wearing wedding dresses, she was quite happy.

At this time, the phone rang. It was someone asking for Sha Yanxiao, so he answered it.

Ji Yiru walked closer to Gui'er and leaned over to whisper to her, "You're quite sensible and know who is the big and small king."

The smile on Gui'er's face almost collapsed, and she quickly said: "Sister Yiru and Brother Yanxiao are getting married, I sincerely wish you all the best."

"Oh, all right."

At this time, Sha Yanxiao finished the call and turned around to ask, "What are you talking about?"

Ji Yiru smiled and said, "I am really grateful to my sister for being so thoughtful."

Sha Yanxiao touched Gui'er's head and said, "Yes."

Then he took the two porcelain dolls to the bedroom and found a place to put them.

Gui'er hadn't been in Sha Yanxiao's bedroom for a few days and found that the furnishings inside had changed, including the bed. It must have been Ji Yiru who changed it. Ji Yiru walked in like a familiar hostess, turned around and said to Gui'er, "Guier, after your brother and I get married, you can't just come into this room anymore. Do you understand?"

Gui'er was a little speechless. She rarely went to Sha Yanxiao's bedroom. When Sha Yanxiao was going to Fengcheng, she would come in and watch the maid help him pack his clothes. Occasionally, the two of them would chat in the room. It was as if Sha Yanxiao went to Gui'er to chat with her, so she smiled and nodded.

Sha Yanxiao frowned and said to Ji Yiru, "What nonsense are you talking about to a child?"

Ji Yiruman said nonchalantly: "I'm teaching her, don't you think? Sister~sister." She deliberately stretched out her voice while pinching Guier's cheek with her hands with long nails.

Gui'er originally wanted to just laugh it off and get over it, but Ji Yiru pinched her very hard, and the pain was unbearable. She tried to shake off her hand, but she couldn't.

Sha Yanxiao saw this and quickly came over to pull her hand away, saying, "What are you doing? You're hurting her."

Ji Yiru smiled and said, "No, I was just being affectionate with my sister." As a result, two red marks immediately appeared on Gui'er's face. She smiled and said, "Oh, your face is so tender. I'm not sure. Who made me have no brothers or sisters at home? I'm the youngest, and everyone in the family is nice to me. Gui'er will definitely not mind. By the way, Yanxiao, my parents sent me a box of new clothes in Shanghai. Come and see it."

As he said that, he pulled Sha Yanxiao to the small courtyard.

Gui'er was left alone to touch her aching cheek. Dingxiang saw the two of them walk out of the yard, then hurried over and said, "Miss, are you okay? Do you want me to get you something to wipe it off?"

Gui'er walked over to the mirror and saw two red fingerprints and deep nail marks. She sighed and thought, "When will this end?"
