Chapter 835: Chapter 835: A World of Difference Chapter 835: Chapter 835: A World of Difference Gu Yan wasn’t there.
If she were to leave with the person sent by the Wang Residence’s queen consort, Gu Yan would definitely worry when he couldn’t find her upon returning, but now she had been summoned by the queen consort of the Wang Residence.
The queen consort has extended an invitation.
As an ordinary commoner, she couldn’t possibly refuse to go.
The ssenger was Lingling, a confidante of the queen consort of the Wang Residence. Having served at the queen consort’s side for years, Lingling’s greatest skill was in discerning people’s words and expressions; she could tell that Su Yunjin seed to be in a difficult position.
“Miss Su? The queen consort has summoned you. If you have any problems, you can tell first. After hearing them, I will help you solve them. For now, you should co with to see our queen consort,” Lingling said.
Without hiding anything, Su Yunjin candidly spoke of her concerns to the servant girl, “Miss Lingling, the situation is like this: my husband just stepped out from the shop. If I go with you now to see the queen consort, my husband will worry upon his return. I hope you could arrange for soone to stay here and wait for my husband, to let him know where I’ve gone.”
It wasn’t a difficult request for Su Yunjin to make?
The servant girl readily agreed.
“Miss Su, don’t worry! I will solve your problem and make sure your husband won’t be worried about you,” Lingling, one of the top maids by the queen consort’s side, who was nearly as authoritative as a master herself in the Wang Residence, was adorned in respectable clothing and carried herself with dignity as she ca today to summon Su Yunjin.
In fact, she had also brought another young maid from the residence. Now that Su Yunjin had this problem, Lingling could arrange for that young maid to wait here.
She beckoned the young maid over.
Lingling pointed to her and said to Su Yunjin, “Miss Su, this girl is called Honghong. I will arrange for Honghong to wait outside your shop for your husband. With Honghong here, when your husband returns, she will inform him of your whereabouts.”
As the young maid Honghong had been learning from Lingling, she had acquired a fair share of Lingling’s cleverness and quick-wittedness.
“Miss Su, rest assured! I will definitely follow Miss Lingling’s instructions and tell your husband about your whereabouts,” Honghong declared, proving to be perceptive.
She knew when to join the conversation.
Seeing that Honghong was clever and looked average, a diligent young maid, Su Yunjin felt reassured and boarded the carriage sent by the queen consort of the Wang Residence, accompanied by the people dispatched.
Lingling, the maid who ca to fetch Su Yunjin, also sat in the carriage with her.
On the carriage, Lingling said with a smile to Su Yunjin, “Miss Su, I must tell you that our queen consort is quite fond of you, and she has even said that when she has ti, she wants to invite you to the Prince Qi Residence more often to chat with her!”
The queen consort of the Wang Residence had co from Jincheng to celebrate the old queen dowager’s birthday. After the celebration, wouldn’t the queen consort return? How could she have the ti to invite her for a chat at the Prince Qi Residence?
Su Yunjin instinctively wanted to ask, but then she thought better of it. The whereabouts of the queen consort were not for soone of her status to inquire about. Thus, Su Yunjin held back her question and didn’t ask further.
The journey was silent, and Su Yunjin directly went to the Prince Qi Residence seated in the carriage. The last ti, the queen consort had taken her to a small side hall in the Prince Qi Residence for a dical examination.
This ti, Su Yunjin expected that Lingling would escort her to the sa side hall she had visited before, but to her surprise, Lingling led her not to the previously visited side hall but to a unique courtyard. This courtyard, in front of her, was worlds apart from the Prince Qi Residence she had seen before.
