Chapter 1700: Shuitao Kneels After Tong An
Editor: Henyee Translations
Tong An pursed his lips and lowered his head even more.
"Miss, I’m just a servant..." he said. "Miss Shen is young and beautiful. She’s also literate and knows embroidery. She’s very capable. Someone like her can find someone better. Why should she follow an old man like me who has married before?"
Old man???
Gu Yundong rubbed his forehead, but Tong An was also considering the reality.
If Shen Sitian married Tong An, wouldn’t she become a servant of the Gu family?
"What about now? If you beg to marry her now, won’t these problems cease to exist?"
"Yes," Tong An said. "But a person’s life is only so short. Miss Shen is very good. I think, I want to be selfish for once."
Tong An indeed wanted to suppress his feelings, but some emotions were not under his control at all.
Previously, when he was injured, Shen Sitian had taken care of him for a few days. Who could not tell what she meant?
At that time, Tong An almost wanted to disregard everything and beg Miss, but in the end, he restrained himself.
However, not long ago, Shen Sitian suddenly caught a cold and had a high fever. The doctor prescribed medicine and the fever was never completely healed.
Tong An was shocked. He felt that if Shen Sitian really could not be cured, he would not be able to take it at all.
Since they were interested in each other, they would be together.
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. "I understand. You can get up first."
"Then, Miss, do you agree?" Tong An looked up anxiously.
Gu Yundong shrugged. "I’m fine with it, but I have to ask Sitian for her opinion."
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you."
"Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. You’ll be grateful later." Gu Yundong stood up. "I’ll go talk to Sitian."
Tong An hurriedly stood up and followed behind her.
Gu Yundong could not help but laugh. "Why are you following me? I’ll just talk to her privately. Go do your thing."
"...Yes," Tong An agreed hesitantly.
Gu Yundong then brought Tong Shuitao to Shen Sitian’s house.
As soon as she entered, she found Shen Sitian sighing with a broken handkerchief.
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. Did Shen Sitian become absent-minded after hearing that she was taking Tong An to the capital yesterday?
She knocked on the door. Shen Sitian suddenly came back to her senses and quickly welcomed her in.
Gu Yundong went straight to the point and repeated what Tong An had said.
Shen Sitian froze. "He, he really said that?"
"Yes, so what do you think?"
Shen Sitian muttered softly, "He said that he’s a servant, so he’s been restraining himself. Aren’t I the same?"
She was not a servant, but she had once been a concubine to an old man. She was not an innocent girl.
If Tong An was afraid, how could she not be?
But she did not expect Tong An to really beg Gu Yundong.
Shen Sitian’s heart was in a mess, and she did not know what to do.
Gu Yundong did not disturb her and let her think slowly.
After all, it was a marriage, so they should think about it carefully. Marriage was not a matter for the two of them. They had to think about everything in the future.
Gu Yundong sat for a while longer before bidding farewell and leaving.
Unexpectedly, just as she returned home, Tong Shuitao suddenly knelt down in front of her with a bang.
Gu Yundong: "..."
What were they doing? Uncle kneeling and then his niece? Could they talk nicely? Couldn’t they let her rest for a while?
"What are you doing?"
"Miss, I-I also want to ask you something."
