As she was eating, Senior Servant Ping, hearing the little girl's words, suddenly looked startled. "She really said that?"
"Yes, that Old Lady Wang from the kitchen really replied truthfully. That young miss said that if the kitchen still dared to use this kind of food to fool people, she would spread the news and say .." "I said that the master had treated his daughter badly .."
Senior Servant Ping's expression became serious. She waved her hand to get the little girl off before turning around to enter her room.
She explained the situation in detail to Lady Yao, sighed and said, "Looks like we misjudged her. That little girl isn't as easy to reconcile as she seems to be on the surface. Madam, we have to slowly handle this matter.
Mrs Yao pulled the handkerchief in her hand, her face turning green from hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "A fox-like movie like her mother's. Such a young girl, where did she get such sharp eyes? I don't believe she would dare to spread it! If she dares to do this right after returning, then what will she do when she stands firmly in the future? "
"No, we can't let it go like this," she jumped down to the ground and spun around twice. "We can't let this girl step on our heads as soon as she returns .."
"But .." Senior Servant Ping still wanted to persuade her again, but Lady Yao waved her hand with a sneer on her face, "There's no 'but'. We have to let this girl know who's in charge of this mansion!"
After watching Gu Jinzhu eat, after washing her face and rinsing her mouth a little, she lay down.
This was her first day back at home, but she did not have a single trace of belonging. It was as if she had arrived at a foreign place, and her surroundings were filled with an unfamiliar atmosphere that made people restless.
At night, Yun Xiang was on guard duty. She was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she closed all the windows before lying down on the bed. Listening to her tossing and turning about, she couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, can't you sleep?"
Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything. Through the faint green curtain, she saw her sit up.
Yun Xiang also sat up, thinking that she was still angry about the dinner and couldn't help but advise, "Miss, let's sleep first. This servant will watch today. It might be a good thing. "
She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "And it's still the Countess. I didn't expect her to be so petty."
Gu Jinzhu burst out laughing. She had thought this through thoroughly, so it was no wonder that she was able to see through this.
Yao Yao's demeanor was indeed too petty. She couldn't even wait a day. The moment she returned, she was placed on the spot and completely disregarded her pride.
However, it was no wonder. She was originally a daughter of the Yao Manor. If it weren't for her elder sister being the imperial concubine, how could her character hold her position as the official's wife?
No one could blame her for her impatience back then. As soon as she had entered the residence, she had kicked out her first-in-line daughter. With such a matriarch, the reputation of the Gu Estate in the capital could be easily imagined.
However, with Lady Yao's character, it would be beneficial for them. Before she came back, she was still a bit afraid of Lady Yao. However, after seeing her impatient appearance, she felt reassured.
It wasn't worth her time to think about such a woman. It was no wonder that the Second Branch's Madame Li didn't put her in her eyes. The one to pay attention in the Gu Estate was the one she had to pay her respects to tomorrow.
No matter how she thought about it, her grandmother's face had always been blurry. The only thing she could remember was the ferocious and terrifying face she had had when she was young and facing her third uncle.
The thin youth from before stood by the side with an ice-cold expression, while Lady Zhen pointed at him and shouted hysterically.
She was slightly startled as that handsome and cold face appeared in her mind again. When she turned her head slightly, a trace of gentleness flowed out of her eyes.
Her heart thumped in her chest. It had been half a month since she left Binzhou, but that shadow was growing clearer in her heart.
I wonder if the things over there are done yet. When will he be back?
Her thoughts unconsciously drifted far away. After chattering for a long time, seeing her master completely silent, she thought she had already fallen asleep.
Gu Jinzhu stared at the dark roof of the tent. On her first night home, she had spent a lot of time with this feeling of longing and strangeness.
The next day, just as dawn arrived, the sound of a little girl moving about came from outside the courtyard. Gu Jinzhu turned her body over and opened the door. She then brought in a pot of hot water.
"Miss, it's time to wake up." Yun Xiang rolled up her veil and softly called out. Today, she had to pay respects to Madam Gu, so she couldn't be late.
Gu Jinzhu drowsily opened her eyes. Ren Yunxiang and Bi Yao hurriedly combed her hair and face. It wasn't until she sat in front of the dressing table that she regained some of her consciousness.
As Yun Xiang was rummaging through the jewelry box, Bi Chen was picking out some clothes from the closet. Seeing her hand reaching towards a long dress made of rose silk, Gu Jinzhu frowned and said, "Wear that blue one."
Bea's hand stopped and she turned her head in surprise. "Girl, do you want to wear this? Isn't it too pure? "
I heard that the madame in the mansion likes the young girl to dress up more happily. She wears such plain clothes, will it make her unhappy when we meet for the first time?
Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, "No worries." Her grandmother had not been dead for more than half a year, and she was not fit to wear bright colors.
Bea had no choice but to take out the long blue dress with the dark silver embroidered melon and butterfly pattern.
Gu Jinzhu had never liked to comb her complicated hair into a bun before. This time, it was a simple cloud bun which was only fixed by the inlaid diamond hairband, appearing clean and clean.
The dress was originally very simple, but when it was worn on Gu Jinzhu's body, it seemed to have changed. The light blue color was transparent, making the young girl look as clean and beautiful as a handful of snow on top of a snowy mountain.
Not only did this blue dress make her seem frail, it even gave her an extraordinary air.
After looking at her for a while, she could not help but say happily, "Lady, you look really beautiful in this outfit. The madame will definitely like it."
Gu Jinzhu slightly curved her lips, but she was thinking in her heart, liking someone doesn't depend on how she looks or what she wears. Gu Jinzhu slightly curled her lips, but in her heart, she was thinking in her heart, liking someone isn't dependent on how she looks or what she wears.
After everything was settled, Lady Yao sent a mama to lead the way, and the group headed for Old Madam Gu's Yan Fu residence.
At this moment, the sun had just risen and the morning mist had just dispersed. Gu Jinzhu had the chance to properly inspect the Gu Estate's environment.
Along the way, the two sides of the road were planted with parasol trees. The sun was cut into specks of light by the luxuriant leaves, like gold shards dancing on the limestone road.
The Gu Estate was more beautiful than she had ever imagined. Thinking back to how her mother had lived here many years ago, and this place should have originally belonged to her own family, a complicated feeling welled up in her heart.
Yan Fu's residence was larger than the courtyard of the Yao family, but it had a red wall and green tiles. There were more than ten maidservants waiting at the entrance. When they saw Gu Jinzhu looking over, they sized her up with curiosity.
The leading girl had a pretty face and was dressed in a purple dress. She smiled and asked, "Are you the young miss? The madame and the ladies have been waiting for a long time. " As he spoke, he lifted the curtain.
A burst of laughter came from the room, as if there were quite a few people there. Gu Jinzhu went in and turned around to see a five blessings and lifespan screen. She was nearly blinded by the room full of jewel-like women.
