Chapter 651 - 269 Goodbye Guan Jingshuo_2
The Heir to Marquis Yongding looked steadily at Yueyao and said, "What benefit is there for you in this matter?" Regardless of whether the marriage happens or not, he saw no benefit to Yueyao. He didn’t understand why Yueyao would get involved in this muddled affair.
Xiang Wei kept very quiet about the matter. Truth be told, if it weren’t for her incitement, Yueyao wouldn’t even be aware and wouldn’t have gotten involved in this muddled affair.
Yet Yueyao spoke softly, "Just as I reminded the Heir Apparent that day, because of my connection with Aunt Yun, I wish for the Heir to grow up safely and healthily. The same applies for this matter; I wish for Sister Luo to be happy for a lifetime. If she marries a man who has someone else in his heart, she will never achieve happiness." Rather than hide and clutch at it, she might as well speak openly.
Xiang Wei was very perceptive; upon hearing the words "safe and healthy," she had a rough idea of what was in their hearts.
Guan Jingshuo was stunned for a moment, and after a good while, he said, "Alright, I’ll help with this favor. When I’ve arranged the meeting, I’ll inform you of the time."
Yueyao gave a bow, "I am indebted to you."
Xiang Wei, standing to the side, said, "Heir Apparent, rest assured, you just need to lead Heir Ning into this topic of conversation. This matter won’t implicate you, and we will repay this favor to you later." If this matter succeeded, the Marquis’ household would owe Guan Jingshuo a favor.
Guan Jingshuo shook his head, "I owe Miss Lian a debt of gratitude that I can never repay in a lifetime."
What Guan Jingshuo meant with these words was that if it were not for Yueyao, he would not have agreed to this matter. A life-saving grace was greater than heaven; no amount of reciprocation would suffice.
Yueyao picked out more than forty books at the bookshop and returned to the carriage. Not only did the servant who came with her harbor no suspicions, even Xi Yu didn’t have the slightest doubt.
