It was early in the morning and still dark outside when someone came to the door.
The visitor was dressed like a houseman and bowed to Liu Sisi as he entered.
“Miss, the Old Madam has sent me to bring you a message. The pawnshop will close this afternoon and will not reopen until next year. The silver and dividends will be settled tomorrow. Since Miss also holds a share of the profits, the Old Madam sent me to invite you to come and arrange a meeting between you and the Old Master.”
“The Old Master is back? Which Old Master?”
Liu Sisi frowned.
The houseman hurriedly bowed again: “Replying to Miss, it is the Old Master who is currently a fourth-rank official, ranked 7th in the family. Miss, you… don’t know about this?” The houseman asked hesitantly.
These words immediately made Liu Sisi’s face turn red!
How could she tell them that she couldn’t care less about the people of the Gan Family?
However, thinking about how she was still parading around with the reputation of being the Eldest Miss of the Gan Family, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
But on second thought, although Elder Madam of Gan Family had her intentions when she adopted Liu Sisi as her goddaughter, she had not caused her any harm. Instead, Liu Sisi had gained some benefits from the Gan Family, so it would not be right to refuse.
“In that case, please let the little brother convey my message to my grandmother that I will go to the county town on time tomorrow, and ask her not to worry.”
As she spoke, she took half a copper coin from her arms and handed it to the houseman.
The houseman accepted it generously and bowed farewell: “In that case, I will take my leave.”
“Go ahead!”
Liu Sisi naturally would not detain him any longer.
After leaving the Di family’s yard and leading his horse, the houseman turned around and walked down the mountain path until he reached the foot of the slope. He couldn’t help but look up and spit out his saliva, complaining bitterly.
“Tsk! Nothing but a countrywoman from a poor and remote area, how did she manage to catch the eyes of the Old Madam and become her goddaughter? I’ve been working my ass off for the Gan family for so many years, and the Old Madam hasn’t even given me a glance! It’s really the different fates of different people! How can I not be jealous? Sigh!”
As he lamented and shook his head, he finally jumped on his horse and left.
Liu Sisi, of course, was not aware of any of this, and even if she knew, she would just smile lightly and let it go.
Right now, she was struggling to listen to Di Yelei’s “make-up lesson” for her.
“…There are a lot of people in the Gan family. Lord Gan Senior and Lord Gan are currently holding government positions. Lord Gan Senior, Gan Jingtong, is said to have been promoted to Minister, while Lord Gan, Gan Jiayou, is Assistant Minister of Ministry of Personnel. The father and son have renowned reputations. The Old Master the houseman mentioned earlier should be none other than Assistant Minister of Ministry of Personnel, Lord Gan. When I had some free time before and did some odd jobs, I often heard people mention it…”
Di Yelei was naturally more familiar with the Gan family.
As he thought about it, his brow did not relax: “Regardless of the reason why you were adopted as a goddaughter by the Elder Madam of Gan Family, since you are Lord Gan’s goddaughter, you should go see your father when he comes home. Are you really planning to go again tomorrow?”
