Chapter 503 - 513: You Look Down On Me?
Gu Youyou turned over, her back to him, and in a voice brimming with vexation, she murmured, "You came early tonight, did you overhear what my maternal grandmother said?"
She tilted her head slightly, eager to hear his response.
"What did she say?" Jin Zijin asked.
Oh, he hadn’t heard.
Gu Youyou let out a sigh, since he hadn’t heard, she might as well spin her tale.
"My grandmother said I’m not young anymore and plans to look for a marriage prospect for me in Beijing. You know, a girl’s marriage is not for her to decide. I have no parents; I came to rely on my uncle, and naturally, my uncle is the one to decide my marriage. And there’s more, you saw it too that day at the teahouse, standing right next to that... Xiao Jinyan, Qianqing called him cousin-brother. It seems from what Qianqing implied, they intend to introduce me to him. What a coincidence, his surname is Jin too!"
"Nonsense!" Jin Zijin behind her grew angry, "The eldest son of the Ducal Residence? How could he possibly marry you?"
Gu Youyou was taken aback and then her anger surged.
She rolled over, dismissing the chilly air outside the blankets, and sat up straight.
With the light from the brazier, Gu Youyou glared fiercely at Jin Zijin, "What a fine man you are, Jin Zijin, looking down on me when I’ve never scorned you?"
She yelled furiously, "What right does a stinky Taoist like you have to look down on me? Would you believe I have a way to make him willingly marry me? I will marry into the Ducal Residence with pomp and splendor. That’s still better than a self-deceiving, stinky Taoist like you."
