Chapter 1975: The Second Miss of the Gan Family

Gan Yujing's face darkened, and her expression turned unpleasant.

After a moment, she let out a cold snort. "What else could it be? My sister-in-law is still blaming me for introducing that family to Fourth Brother last time."

"You can't blame Miss for this. Life is unpredictable. Who would have known that the young lady from that family would pass away and shift the blame onto Fourth Young Master? When you were choosing a marriage for Fourth Young Master back then, Miss, you put in a lot of effort and worry. How can she blame you now?" a maidservant spoke softly.

"Enough, stop talking," Gan Yujing impatiently interrupted her.

The maidservant shrank back and cautiously said, "Miss, I also heard some other news."

"Go on."

"I heard that the other party is not from the prefectural city but from the county. We don't know what they do, but they certainly can't compare to our family. This decision seems quite sudden."

Gan Yujing's expression grew even darker. "What do they mean by this?"

"Could it be that the eldest young madam found out that Miss has been getting close to Miss Cheng from the Cheng family recently and is trying to match Miss with Fourth Young Master before..."

Gan Yujing squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly. "Is she making such a hasty decision for this reason, choosing a girl from the county who can't compare to us? She's trying to ruin Fourth Brother."

Gan Yujing couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly let go of the handkerchief and said, "I'll have to ask if she really cares about Fourth Brother. Does Big Brother still care about her? What's her real intention in doing this?"

With that, she walked briskly towards the private room where Shu Yu and the others were seated.

The maidservant hurriedly followed.

However, when they reached the door of the private room, Gan Yujing suddenly stopped. She had raised her hand to knock, but she pulled it back.

The maidservant asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Gan Yujing pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Forget it."

Although it was just a few steps, it was enough for her to calm down. She turned around and walked back, saying as she went, "There are still guests in the private room. It's not appropriate for me to barge in like this. After all, it's a family matter for the Gan family. Even if my relationship with my sister-in-law isn't great, it's not right to embarrass her in front of outsiders. It would give others the impression that the Gan family is not harmonious. I'll visit the Gan family later, and we can resolve it in private."

"Miss, considering the bigger picture is indeed wise. But what if they decide on the engagement after they meet this time? Miss Cheng might..."

"No, if it becomes official, they won't choose this place for it, and my Big Brother won't be absent. Besides, I've had a few meals with Miss Cheng from the Cheng family, but I've never mentioned trying to match her with Fourth Brother. Others will only think that we have a good relationship, and it won't damage her reputation or make her think too much."

"So, Miss means to let go of the Cheng family? But the Cheng family has connections in the court, which could greatly help Fourth Young Master's future. If we miss this opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Enough, let me discuss this with my Big Brother when I return home. Keep your lips sealed about the Cheng family's matters. As long as you and I don't mention it, no one will spread rumors."

"Yes, Miss, I understand." The maidservant lowered her head, but her eyes showed some hesitation.

She secretly adjusted the silver bracelet on her wrist, which had been given to her by Miss Cheng...
