Chapter 3101 — A Sleepless Night

"That's not what I meant. I meant, have you ever regretted not seizing the advantage of being close at hand?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Seizing the advantage of being close at hand?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback. Then her face flushed—thankfully it was dark, and Shen Yushu could not see. "Don't talk nonsense. Wei Zhao and I have a pure friendship."
"Oh? I didn't say that. Yaoyao-jie's thoughts have turned impure—jumping straight to Mr. Arrowbrand. Seems there's definitely a problem!" Shen Yushu said with a giggle.
"Then what were you talking about?" Gu Mengyao snorted.
"I was saying, that... Yaoyao-jie didn't push Mr. Arrowbrand down—do you regret it?" Shen Yushu said.
"Is there a difference?" Gu Mengyao was furious. "Are you fishing for words out of me? Just wait till I tear that mouth of yours apart!"
Yet though Gu Mengyao said so, she did not really go tear Xiaoshu's mouth apart—because she no longer felt like romping and teasing with Shen Yushu. She would be leaving tomorrow, and she no longer had the heart for it.
"Hehe, actually, Yaoyao-jie is now on the same level as Mr. Arrowbrand's other wives. They're all vice-palace masters, elders and so on, all inheritors—and now Yaoyao-jie is one too. In the future, Yaoyao-jie will be formidable too!" Shen Yushu said. "Now only Xiaoshu is left. Once Xiaoshu works hard and becomes an inheritor too, the big and little wives can join forces again!"
"Hehe, sure, then work hard!" Gu Mengyao thought Shen Yushu was joking and smiled. "Let's look back on the things that happened this past year..."
"Okay..." Shen Yushu said. "It was March 12th this year, wasn't it, when Mr. Arrowbrand first moved into the villa. Back then we still really disliked him..."
"Yes, March 12th. But on March 13th, I ran into those robbers—and that was when I started to think Wei Zhao was actually pretty decent. At least he stood up for me, stepped forward for me..." Gu Mengyao nodded...
The two of them, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, reminisced through every little moment of the past year, and before they knew it, dawn had broken...
Today was destined to be a sleepless night. Many people had lost sleep!
Besides Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, Gu Pengzhan had lost sleep too—and so had the Dark Night Palace's Grand Elder and Black-Robed Elder. The two of them spent the night discussing how to persuade Gu Mengyao, but after a whole night of deliberation, they had reached no conclusion. After all, the Grand Elder truly did not know how to persuade anyone. Previously, in her view, Gu Mengyao would happily return with her; the current turn of events had caught her somewhat off guard!
It was the Black-Robed Elder who came up with an idea: use Ye Rou'er as a bargaining chip!
