I want to make progress

Chapter 51: Being taken away?

We have endured for so many years, and the plan has just begun. We must not get carried away by a temporary victory.

"Yes! I will send a message to Sister Suniang in a moment."

When it comes to serious matters, Yuyan is also carrying them out very seriously. It's not just Shu Yunfu who wants to bring down the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion; she does too.

"Yeah!" She nodded. She was still very confident about Yuyan.

She took a powder puff and applied a thin layer of blush on her cheeks, which instantly made her look brighter. She fiddled with her bangs in front of the mirror with satisfaction, lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around, raising her eyebrows at Yuyan, "Look at how I look today? Am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful! Today, Miss is very beautiful. Not to mention the whole capital, at least she is prettier than any other woman in the Duke of Ying's mansion. I guarantee that the Duke will not be able to take his eyes off you."

"Well said!" Shu Yunfu smiled charmingly as her fingertips were entwined with the soft hair. "Tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The night market is very lively. Miss will take you to ride a flower boat and tour the capital at night!"

She walked out of the yard with a sweet smile, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, turned around and walked happily towards the front yard.

In the blink of an eye, I have been in the capital for nearly two months. It is already the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole capital is so lively on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that there will be fireworks shows. On this day, women will not be criticized for going out, so on this night, whether they are poor common people or girls from wealthy and powerful families, they all flock to the streets.

Although the Duke of England's Mansion is high and powerful, it is not an overly strict place. On such a beautiful day, the women in the family would naturally be allowed to go out, but they would have to be accompanied by sufficient guards.

And no one knew what illness Gu Changheng had. It might be because she had been "infatuated" with him and sent him soup for more than half a month. After his injury healed, his attitude towards her became much better. He even drank the soup she stewed, and now he wanted to take her out to the night market on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

She was so frightened that she almost thought the dog had been possessed by another soul.

However, his gradually softening attitude made many people who did not know the truth think that Madam Shu would finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The maids and servants in Yizhuxuan were even more delighted, hoping that Madam Shu and the Second Master could love each other and have a little master tomorrow.

Qiu Tang, who knew the truth, was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night, fearing that Aunt Shu would get too close to the Second Master and the Duke would be angry. After all, the Duke didn't seem like someone who would tolerate his woman getting close to other men.

She regretted and felt annoyed countless times. Why did she have to think so much that day? Wouldn't it be good to be a person who knew nothing? Why did she ask for trouble and find out things she shouldn't know? Now she is worried all day long. It's really her own fault.

Yuyan also had this worry, but she was more worried about her own young lady. She knew better than anyone what the situation was between her young lady and Gu Changheng. Not to mention their friendship, her young lady was almost harmed by that beautiful lady Su because of Gu Changheng last time.

Gu Changheng was even more disgusted with the young lady. Although the young lady had been pretending to be nice these days, even if she was not as smart as the young lady, she knew that even if they fell in love over time, it would be impossible to do it in such a short time, let alone a man like Gu Changheng who had been thinking about the same woman for so many years.

Shu Yunfu was not worried about having anything to do with Gu Changheng, because she knew very well that Gu Changheng had no other thoughts about her. She saw how much Gu Changheng licked the Su Meiren, and if he could really fall in love with a woman so easily, he would not have been single for so many years, and he would not have remained infatuated with her under Gu Changting's strict family rules.

And she would not allow such a thing to happen. She was worried that Gu Changheng had other intentions. Because of her identity, she was naturally at a disadvantage compared to him. If he really did something, she would be in a passive position.

But before we figure out what he is planning, we can only respond to his moves as they come.

But today, what she was thinking about was not going to the night market with Gu Changheng, but Gu Changting who was going with them!
She is not someone who will just sit and wait for the other party to take action. Since she doesn't know what Gu Changheng is going to do, let her take action first. It just so happens that she also wants to avenge herself. After all, what Gu Changting did was what he did, and she wants to return the favor personally!
Today is indeed a good day for traveling. After the Mid-Autumn family dinner, several elders don't like the hustle and bustle anymore and plan to stay at home to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes, but the younger generations are planning to go out, including several aunts. If they were not worried about accidents, the two children would jump up and down to follow them.

"There are too many people of all kinds on the streets today. Everyone should be careful when going out. Even if you are scattered, remember to stay close to your guards."

Before departure, as the head of the family, the old Duke gave a few words of advice to be careful, as in previous years such busy times were also when accidents were most likely to happen.

The Duke of England's Mansion was founded on military exploits. Successive Dukes of England had served in the army, fought on the battlefield, and made military achievements. Many of the servants in the Duke of England's Mansion are disabled veterans who retired from the army, and there is no shortage of guards.

They didn't know about this trip to other mansions, but each of their masters was assigned a guard.

There are only a few such lively night markets a year, and everyone is eager to go out, especially the women who were confined at home and unable to go out in the past. Once they go out, they are like birds that have flown out of a cage, and they start to stroll around excitedly, which is visibly visible to the naked eye.

There were already a lot of people on the street, and they were all so excited. Even though everyone was paying extra attention, such a large group of people still quickly got separated.

Originally, Shu Yunfu had no plans to move with everyone. She was still thinking about taking Yuyan on a flower boat tour of the capital, not to mention that she was also planning to have a wonderful night with Gu Changting today.

They were separated, but it was not the kind of separation she wanted.

He was only able to pick out a small lantern with the image of Chang'e flying to the moon. When he looked up again, only Yuyan, Gu Changheng and his personal servant Qingshi were left around him. Even the guards who followed behind him to protect him were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the family members?"

Seeing this scene, Shu Yunfu was stunned. Looking around, she saw heads everywhere. She couldn't find anyone in the dense crowd. She was so angry that she almost stamped her feet. That bastard Gu Changting must be only caring about his women!
"There are too many people, and everyone has dispersed. It doesn't matter. We still want to go shopping, so just keep going forward."

After looking around and not finding anyone familiar, Gu Changheng didn't care and just walked forward calmly, not in a hurry at all.
