Gu Youyou frowned, thinking: Gu Wu wouldn't make up such an unbelievable lie, would he? She was startled and quickly asked, "Is it possible you misheard? How could Zhang Shiyu, with her high ambitions, be interested in Shunzi? And become his concubine?"
Miss Du said, "Perhaps he was drunk and misspoke. He originally meant to say that the second Miss of the Zhang Family is interested in the Prince, and Zhang Prime Minister wanted him to help persuade you. But he mistakenly referred to his niece as his daughter, leading people to mistakenly think the second Miss of the Zhang Family is interested in Shunzi."
That made sense, Gu Youyou understood.
Gu Youyou knew that the second Miss Zhang was interested in Jin Zijin. She sighed, saying, "This might be for the best; it's a good lesson for her. But we need to explain this to Erya, otherwise, with Erya's temper, Shunzi is bound to suffer."
