The Spring Fragrance that was treated as a "corpse" by Sun Rumei was tied up on both her hands and feet. Her mouth was stuffed so that she couldn't make a sound, and she stared at Sun Rumei with a pair of terrified big eyes, begging him.
"Second Madam, may I ask, are I guilty of capturing an assassin who assaulted the young miss of the General's Estate during the night?" Looking at Sun Rumei's face that was like a palette, Gu Shiyi asked her quietly.
"Second Madam, I haven't eaten since yesterday. If this matter were to be spread out, I wonder what people from outside would say about you? This is the annual Phoenix Festival soon, I remember that Big Sis hasn't said her kiss yet! " Sun Rumei did not say anything, but continued to speak at a leisurely pace, and she believed that Sun Rumei would not be able to understand her.
After Sun Rumei heard this, she took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the anger she was about to release, making him look like a loving mother. When did this Gu Shiyi learn how to threaten others?
"From today onwards, Third Miss' food and clothing, Big Miss Du, is not to be neglected by anyone. Third Miss, Senior Servant Sun, Senior Servant Li, send Third Miss back to the Heavenly Water Mansion!"
Therefore, the daily affairs of a dignified direct daughter of the Palace of Generals could not compare to a mere concubine like Gu Moxue!
After Sun Rumei finished giving out her orders, she turned around and led the servants away, leaving the small courtyard in a formidable array. Only Sun mama and Li mama were still standing at their original positions, looking at the Spring Fragrance that was still tied up on the ground.
"Third Miss, please!" The two wet nurses bowed to Gu Shiyi, but there was not a single trace of respect on their faces.
Gu Shiyi did not mind, she continued to walk out of the buddhist hall. It was just two small shrimps, it was not worth it for her to make a move.
The more Sun Rumei thought about it, the more she became angry. Ever since Ning Waner died, when had she ever suffered such injustice, and it was all because of her, Ning Waner's daughter?
She told herself, she must endure, she must endure. As long as she passed through the Phoenix Festival, after she redeemed Mo Xue's wish, she would definitely take back everything that happened today from Gu Shiyi with interest. She would definitely make her suffer a fate worse than death!
Tianshui Residence was a very small courtyard. A small courtyard with only three rooms was surrounded by a ring of walls.
This kind of small courtyard was unique within the Prime Minister's residence. Even Fourth Miss Gu Moyun's Cloud Gaze, which was the most unfavoured of the four, was ten times bigger than this. It could be seen how difficult Gu Shiyi's situation was in this place!
"Little, Miss, you're back?" Just as Gu Shiyi's foot stepped into the courtyard, a timid voice sounded beside her ear.
Gu Shiyi looked to her left and saw a little girl who was around fourteen or fifteen years old hiding behind the sole tree with a crooked neck in the small courtyard.
"Since Third Young Miss has Xiao Zhi serving her, then this old servant will take my leave!" After the two mama saw the little girl behind the tree, they hurriedly ran out of the simple and crude little courtyard.
Gu Shiyi did not mind, but she felt uncomfortable with them by her side.
"Xiao Zhi?" Gu Shiyi looked at the little girl who was still trembling behind the tree, carefully searching through the memories of the little girl in his mind.
If there was anyone who treated the Gu Shiyi from her previous self well, it would be Xiao Zhi.
Only, that night, when Gu Shiyi was forcefully taken away by a few robust mama, Xiao Zhi had actually hidden herself. This caused Gu Shiyi to have no choice but to suspect whether this Xiao Zhi had truly treated him well or not.
could understand Xiao Zhi's methods, but, as her master, she did not put in all her effort to protect him, and actually ran away first, and even made Gu Shiyi suspect that Xiao Zhi was also involved in this matter.
She was the person Gu Shiyi trusted the most, but she was not her!
"Miss, it's really you!" After hearing the conversation between the two mama and Gu Shiyi, Xiao Zhi ran out from behind the tree and knelt in front of Gu Shiyi with a loud thump.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xiao Zhi thought that she could save Miss by looking for the old master, but who knew that Miss would be brought away by them the moment she returns!" Xiao Zhi cried until her tears flowed, her face full of self-blame and regret.
Gu Shiyi was suspicious. This meant that she was not hiding but had gone to look for her cheap old man.
"Xiao Zhi, you went to find the grandpa, what did he say?" Gu Shiyi had called him Master, not her father.
"Miss, I, I said you can't be sad!" Xiao Zhi wiped her face with her sleeve and looked at Gu Shiyi evasively.
"Alright, go ahead!" Why should she be sad? She didn't need to worry about a father that had nothing to do with her.
"The towering figure … he didn't even allow me to meet the Old Master, and even ordered me to be chased out of the Cangwu Courtyard." Xiao Zhi walked forward with her knees crossed, afraid that Gu Shiyi would be like in the past, sad to the point of fainting.
However, there was nothing. She still stood there calmly like a green bamboo, straight and tough!
Gu Shiyi's expression did not change, but only she knew that when she heard Xiao Zhi's words, her heart unconsciously hurt.
Perhaps, she thought, it was because the Gu Shiyi of the past had deeply rooted her thirst for father's love in this body.
The tall man that Xiao Zhi was talking about was Gu Minghong's personal bookkeeper and bodyguard, Gao Fei. She was also the person who had the most power and was most trusted by Gu Minghong.
"Let's not talk about this for now, give me a bath first!" Gu Shiyi had a headache, these things could not be resolved in a short period of time, so she decided to clean herself first.
"Yes, Miss!" Seeing that Gu Shiyi was not upset, Xiao Zhi immediately stood up with a face full of joy. Seeing Gu Shiyi's miserable state, she opened her mouth wide, but in the end, did not say anything.
It had to be said that Sun Rumei's words held weight, Xiao Zhi had only gone to the hot water room once, and a servant immediately brought him hot water. If it was before, Gu Shiyi would have to wait for at least an hour, and the water she sent over was not cold at all.
Seeing this, Gu Shiyi wrote a name on Zhang Zi and gave it to Xiao Zhi, telling her to go to the pharmacy to bring it back.
Sun Rumei did as she said, but it was only in her usual case, and with regards to Gu Shiyi's injuries, no matter what, she would not ask for a doctor!
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Gu Shiyi finally relaxed. Closing her eyes, she leaned on the bathtub, and went through the memories in her head.
Suddenly, the door was knocked loudly, Xiao Zhi's voice sounded from outside the door anxiously.
"Miss, Miss, someone from the palace has arrived. Master has sent someone to call you to the main hall of the front courtyard!"
Gu Shiyi suddenly stood up from the water, revealing her jade white body that was also full of scars, and her eyes revealed a fierce look.
At this time, someone from the palace came and called her over. Could it be that it had something to do with that matter?
