Seeing someone walk in, a light flashed in the woman's eyes and she actually shrank back, as if she didn't want others to see.

Unexpectedly, both of them acted as if they didn't see anything as they walked into the house with a calm expression.

"Madam He?"

The room was a little dark, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. It smelled quiet and tranquil, but it couldn't stop the crying outside.

A voice came from behind the screen, "Is that Jiayao?" "You're here?"

Following which, a woman walked out from behind the screen. She was dressed in a rose-colored peony pattern embroidered clothing and exuded a noble aura.

However, Gu Hua Jing was startled. Didn't they say that Madam He and Yang Jia Yao were good friends? Why does it look so different?

Yang Jiayao looked only a few years older than Gu Huaxin, while Madam He had already become old.

"This person … You must be the Fourth Miss of the Gu family? "

Gu Hua Jing stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Madam He."

"Quick, sit down. I've long heard that the Gu family's fourth young miss is well-informed and breathtakingly beautiful. She really lives up to her reputation."

Gu Hua Jing smiled implicitly. She had a pretty face, but she admitted it. What was the meaning of understanding a book?

Madam He sat down on a chair. Immediately, a little girl brought a soft pillow for her. With just this little movement, Gu Hua Jing was able to detect that her breathing was a little unstable.

"You have all seen a joke …"

Madam He gave a self-deprecating laugh, showing no signs of treating them as outsiders.

"The one outside, if she knew that I held a banquet today and caused a ruckus there so early in the morning, wouldn't she be tired as well?"

"That is …" "Aunt Jiang?"

Yang Jiayao had a good relationship with Madam He and knew Aunt Jiang very early in the morning, but this was the first time she had seen her.

Madam He nodded. "She doesn't understand the rules anymore. She was avoiding the rules before, but now she dares to appear in front of the guests."

"Does Madam He not care?"

Gu Hua Jing was very curious, "You're only in a concubine's room, so why would Madam He allow her to cause such a ruckus?"

After she finished speaking, Madam He and Yang Jiayao's expressions changed subtly.

In the end, it was still Madam He who explained herself. "If it was that easy, how could I have condoned it?"

This Madame Jiang was the fourth daughter of the Jiang family and a direct descendant.

Lord Jiang was a fourth-grade official, so logically speaking, his daughter wouldn't be a concubine no matter what.

But Aunt Jiang had said that she was willing to follow His Excellency's wishes, even if it meant that she was willing to be his concubine.

After listening to the beginning, Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

What have these women been possessed with? What he had done for the sake of the so-called 'true emotions' was truly unbearable to look at.

When Aunt Jiang had married into the He family, she had kept to the rules at the start. She had been born with a delicate and charming appearance, which had pleased Lord He greatly. She had even given birth to a daughter after Madam He.

"The current situation of the imperial government is unclear. Although the rank of the Jiang family is lower than that of the He family, for some reason, they actually managed to attract His Highness's attention. In order to not offend the Jiang family, what can I do with her …"

"Your Highness!" These two words caused Gu Hua Jing's heart to tremble, and goosebumps appeared on the back of her neck.

She held back her emotions and casually asked, "Which prince?"

Madam He raised her eyes. "Second Prince, your Highness Feng Mu."

Eh, Gu Hua Jing could only smile elegantly. She still didn't know.

Speaking of the political situation in this era, she wasn't the least bit clear about it. She only knew that it was under the rule of the Feng Family. As for how many princes the Emperor had, whether or not he established them as a crown prince, Gu Hua Jing's eyes were all dark.

However, the Jiang Clan had gotten the Second Prince's green eye, so Madam He didn't dare do anything to Madame Jiang. Could it be that the Second Prince's influence was particularly great?

While Gu Hua Jing was still in a daze, Madam He's eyes paused on her body for a long time before she softly said, "Your original husband, the Bai Family, was part of the Second Prince's faction. When you married into the Bai Family, everyone thought that the Gu Family would submit themselves to the Second Prince.

"Sister He!"

Yang Jiayao hurriedly frowned, she had said not to mention the Bai Clan, just in case it caused Gu Hua Jing to worry …

But Madam He smiled consolingly at her. "It seems like this little sister of yours doesn't mind at all. I rarely misjudge anyone, don't I?"

Although Madam He said these words to Yang Jiayao, her eyes were still fixed on Gu Hua Jing.

Gu Hua Jing's face slowly broke into a smile, "Madam He is right."

Seeing that Gu Hua Jing was not angry about the Bai Family, Yang Jia Yao felt relieved. She wanted to say something, but hearing the faint sound of crying coming from outside, she couldn't help but complain to Madam He.

Gu Hua Jing lowered her eyes …

That day in the peach garden, just who was the Prince that woman mentioned? Could it be the Second Prince?

Because he had left, the Gu family and the Bai family could not tolerate each other, so the Second Palace came down to see him, the culprit?

It seemed like … "It doesn't make sense …

"Sister …" "Fourth sister?"

When Gu Hua Jing came back to her senses, Yang Jiayao had already called out to her several times.

"What happened to Fourth Sister?" Could it be that the cry had disturbed his mind? That's right, Sister He's complexion is much worse than when she came here. I really dare not imagine that I would have to face all of these everyday. "

Yang Jiayao shook her head sympathetically, then turned to look at Madam He, "Sister He, the prescription for recuperation was given to me by my fourth sister. However, my fourth sister also said that the prescription varies from person to person.

"You don't need to apologize, I was anxious."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Madam He's mouth. "I'm envious of you for being as delicate and beautiful as before, but I forgot. How can the Gu family and He family be the same?"

Madam He shook her head self-deprecatingly. "I forced them to do so."

The sound of crying beside her ear was drifting and erratic. Even Gu Hua Jing felt a bit irritated. Madam He was always interacting with this kind of person. No wonder she put in so much effort.

"Mrs. He, do you usually have headaches?"

Madam He nodded. "This is just a common occurrence."

"What about the eyes, dry, red, blurred?"

"Often …" "There will be some …"

"What about your temper? Are there any changes? "

Madam He smiled wryly. "I know it myself. I'm getting more and more irritable. I know it's not good, but I can't control it …"

Hearing Gu Hua Jing's question, Yang Jia Yao's eyes widened, "Could little sister really have a way?"

"Eyes red, easy to be angry, headache, bitter mouth, it's the liver fire caused by the stagnation of qi and fire, maybe it's because it's been a long time since I've had a restful and depressing heart, and I have nowhere to vent …"

"Where can I vent? "I'm the Madam Sect Leader of the He Clan. No matter how vexing my heart is, I can only endure it in my heart."

Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. In this era of women, they had to show respect to their parents and parents. They also had to put up with having a concubine as a concubine, a concubine, and a concubine.

They were confined to the back of the house to work, but if they were a little bit unruly, they would be criticized …

Therefore, he had made the right decision to end his life by himself. Gu Hua Jing silently gave him a 'Like' in her heart.

"For someone like Madam He, I do have a prescription. A clear fire to lower one's blood pressure and clear eyes to reduce heat. But more importantly, it is Madam's nature."

Gu Hua Jing ordered some people to prepare some ink and pens. She lightly said, "The reason these trivial matters have caused Madam to act like this is because Madam cares too much about it."

"I know that Madam can't afford to be unconcerned, but do you feel unwell because of this? Does anyone care about you?"

Madam He's body shuddered. The glimmer in her eyes seemed to have recalled something.

Gu Hua Jing didn't say anything and just quietly wrote down the recipe for the summer dried grass and thin meat.

"Once a day, it will be beneficial to your symptoms. However, if you really want to leave, it's still up to Madam He herself."

Madam He sat there in a daze. Seeing this, Gu Hua Jing and Yang Jia Yao decided to take a seat in the parlour in front of them.

Before she left, Madam He's voice suddenly came from behind, "Fourth Miss Gu, if Bai Lingtian were to marry someone else when he returns to the capital, would you be able to remain as calm and collected as you are now?"

Gu Hua Jing didn't even turn her head, "People who don't care about me, why should I care about them? Besides, the Bai Clan … I sympathize with whoever marries. "

The He Clan's banquet was set up in the Bamboo Pavilion, surrounded by quiet elegance.

When Gu Hua Jing arrived, she felt that the atmosphere had suddenly frozen for a moment.

A faintly discernible gaze landed on her body, but she didn't seem to care at all. She calmly and unperturbedly began to admire the elegant and refined Zhu Xuan.

"I didn't expect Fourth Sister to be so bold. Her reply just now really made my sister-in-law tremble."

Gu Hua Jing raised a smile, "That won't do. If sister-in-law likes me, what can second brother do?"

"You, naughty."

Yang Jiayao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled. Out of the corner of her eyes, she was observing her surroundings.

The gazes of the girls and ladies hadn't diminished in the slightest, as if they were looking at something new.

Yang Jiayao thought that if she didn't, she might as well go back as soon as possible, so that Gu Hua Jing wouldn't be affected by her gaze.

However, just as she was about to ask Gu Hua Jing for her opinion, a bold woman walked over.

"But the Gu Family's Fourth Miss? I thought it looked familiar, but I didn't dare to admit it. "

Gu Hua Jing raised her head. It was another beauty, and one of the most eye-catching type of beauty amongst a group of people.

"Who is this lady?"

Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but smile. She had an inexplicable good impression of beautiful things.

"I'm the Fang family's daughter, Fang Wanxin. I've met Fourth Miss Gu a few times in the past."

"That's really my fault. I can't believe I've lost an impression of a beauty as beautiful as Miss Fang. However, next time, I'll definitely remember her firmly."

As Gu Hua Jing spoke, her eyes swept over Fang Wan Xin's face, full of admiration and admiration.

Fang Wanxin's expression froze. These words … Why did it sound like something was amiss?

However, she didn't ponder deeply and smiled elegantly. "Fourth Miss Gu really likes to joke around. I had thought that you were cold and proud and eccentric, which was why I didn't dare to come and talk to you."

"Miss Fang, you're wrong. I'm the most kind and gentle of them all. I really like to talk to people, especially a beauty like you. I'm definitely going to say everything I know."
