Chapter 1381: Pleasing
Editor: Henyee Translations
The handkerchief slid open, revealing the word Shao.
However, the Marquise still did not have any reaction. She only said, "Mrs. Shao, you might have been here for a long time. Why don’t you go in and have a cup of tea and snacks?"
Then, she said to the other children, "What about you? Do you want to rest for a while before playing?"
Everyone looked at the young princess. The young princess nodded and then looked at Gu Yundong.
Seeing that Gu Yundong was holding Qin Anning’s hand, she frowned and ran to her right. She also grabbed her hand that was holding onto the handkerchief.
Gu Yundong: "..." What are you doing? What happened?
The Little Princess blushed slightly. She did not look at Gu Yundong and deliberately said with a straight face, "Let’s go."
Gu Yundong looked as if she had been struck by lightning. No, young princess, you were still calling me a bumpkin just now. Don’t you feel uncomfortable holding my hand?
The young prefect was not upset, but Qin Anning was. She wanted her not to hold her hand. This was her Sister Gu.
However, looking at the Marquise in front of her, she did not say anything. She only secretly glared at the young princess.
On the other hand, the Marquise covered her mouth and laughed softly. Others might not know, but she knew very well.
The young princess was the daughter of the royal prince, Yi Zilan. Yi Zilan was an arrogant person, and her daughter was very doted on.
In any case, with him as her father, no one could bully her. Therefore, the young princess’s personality was a little free to do whatever she wanted.
When she could not stand Gu Yundong, she would scold her. Now that she realized that Gu Yundong had something that she liked, she could not help but get closer to him.
Others did not know if this personality was good or bad.
The Marquise sighed as she walked into the hall. When she turned around, she found that the children had all followed her in.
Gu Yundong, who was surrounded in the middle, actually felt like... the king of children.
The Marquise wanted to laugh for a moment.
"Come, sit." The Marquise got someone to serve tea and snacks for the children.
She then asked Gu Yundong, "What kind of books does Mrs. Shao usually read?"
"..." Did this lady have to ask this? If she said that she only read storybooks, would she lead the children beside her astray?
Hence, she took a sip of water and coughed lightly. "I read everything. Astronomy and geography, medical books on medicinal herbs, farms, forests, countryside, historical biographies. I read whatever I’m interested in."
As she spoke, she felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and continued to drink her tea.
The Marquise was surprised. "You really know a lot."
When the other children heard this, they also tilted their heads and looked at her. So she knew so much because she had read so many books.
However, they usually read poetry collections, scriptures, and memorized thousands of words. Thinking about it this way, their horizon seemed a little narrow.
Gu Yundong saw that they were deep in thought and felt even more guilty.
She quickly changed the topic, raised her head, and said, "By the way, it’s rare to see Madam today. Yundong boldly asks for a gift from Madam."
The Marquise was stunned. Not only her, but the others present were also stunned.
The servant girl beside the young princess secretly rolled her eyes.
The country bumpkin was indeed unruly. It was her first time meeting the Marquise, and the Marquise had only chatted with her for a while out of respect for her, but she was actually taking advantage of her?
Just wait. Just because the Marquise was easy to talk to didn’t mean she didn’t have a temper.
As expected, the smile on the Marquise’s face faded a little, but she still asked kindly, "What gift?"
