Chapter 505 - 515: Who was the young master Xiao that day?
Gu Youyou left the residence to handle serious business; she wanted to be self-reliant and open a medical clinic. Besides her aunt-in-law from the Jin Family who was completely against it, everyone else was very supportive.
Her older cousin Lin Qianqing secretly told her that her aunt-in-law was the eldest daughter of the Ducal Residence, raised to uphold propriety and decorum, and she thought that women appearing in public was a disgraceful affair, always opposing their leaving the residence.
Fortunately, their grandmother was in good health and had progressive ideas, and could still make decisions for the family, which allowed these young ladies to frequently go out under the pretext of buying things for their grandmother.
Gu Youyou smiled and said, "So you used your grandmother’s name today to go out shopping?"
Lin Qianqing also smiled and said, "Exactly, but grandmother knows what’s going on, she told me to help you."
"What can you help me with? Just don’t cause trouble," Gu Youyou said with a hint of irritation.
When they passed by that tea house from the other day, Gu Youyou suddenly remembered Xiao Jinyan and asked, "Who is that Master Xiao who was with your older cousin that day?"
"Him? He’s the third young master from the Grand Master Residence. Despite his young age, he has been conferred the rank of a general of the third grade, and he is the most promising among our younger generation. It’s just that he’s quite arrogant. Of course, don’t be intimidated by his rank as a general of the third grade; the way he got his position is an open secret, there’s really nothing to boast about."
Gu Youyou didn’t see it that way; she was taken aback and continued to ask, "If he’s the general of the third grade from the Grand Master Residence, then why did he salute Yue Rujing? Yue Rujing seems to only have the empty title of Princely Heir without an official rank."
"That’s different." Lin Qianqing looked at Gu Youyou in surprise and said, "How do you not know this? I thought you were quite familiar with Princely Heir Yue."
