Just as Gu Shiyi returned to the Heavenly Water Mansion, Sun Rumei's men arrived.

"Second Madam said that even though the Third Miss has been annulled, she is still the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, so she still has to go to the Phoenix Festival s!" When Sun mama passed on these words, she did not bother to conceal the sneer at the corner of her eyes. She could even imagine what kind of humiliation Gu Shiyi would suffer when she ascended the Phoenix Festival.

"Don't worry, even if Second Madam didn't say so, I would have gone as well!" Gu Shiyi had a face full of arrogance and confidence. The more those people wanted to see her make a joke out of herself, the more she wouldn't let them do as they pleased.

The few nannies did not expect Gu Shiyi to agree immediately. They did not have the chance to say what they had originally prepared, and in the end, could only bitterly leave this small Sky Water Residence, leaving behind a large camphor box and a small sandalwood box that was about a foot long.

Under Gu Shiyi's instructions, Xiao Zhi excitedly opened two chests, revealing a chest full of clothes and half a chest full of jewelry. Xiao Zhi was even more surprised as she took out all of the clothes from the chest.

However, Gu Shiyi remained indifferent. These clothes, in Xiao Zhi's eyes, were extremely luxurious, but in her eyes, not only were the styles old, they were also the colors of an old man. They did not look like a girl at all.

He was deliberately trying to embarrass her on top of the Phoenix Festival. However, did they really think that he could humiliate her just like this?

Although the Great Xia Kingdom had never appeared in the history of her original world, but all of the clothes were similar to the Song Dynasty in history.

"Xiao Zhi, do you know how to sew?"

"Miss, have you forgotten? This servant's mother is the embroidery mother of Cai Xiu Market!" After saying that, Xiao Zhi's expression flew, and he looked at Gu Shiyi uncertainly. Could it be that Miss had forgotten about him?

"Xiao Zhi, I have something to ask of you!" Of course, Gu Shiyi did not forget, because she was that confident in Xiao Zhi's needlework skills.

"Look, this set of clothes, this way …" Gu Shiyi spoke very carefully. Originally, Xiao Zhi had a face full of suspicion, but after hearing everything, the expression in her eyes became brighter and brighter, and became more and more pleasantly surprised. Her admiration for Gu Shiyi was like a river that kept on pouring out, causing her to immediately begin to change.

Xiao Zhi was at the side changing her clothes, but from beginning to end, Gu Shiyi's gaze had never once rested on the accessory chest. She did not even need to think to know that the things Sun Rumei had prepared would not be anything good.

After dinner, Gu Shiyi left Xiao Zhi alone in her room to change her clothes, while she brought Silver Snow Snake to the garden.

estimated that it was around the size of two football fields, and there were countless of expensive flowers and trees inside. After Gu Shiyi placed the Silver Snow Snake into a patch of grass, she started to walk around.

Gu Shiyi's current body was very weak, and she was unable to recover from it for a while, but to protect herself in the human eating palace's backyard, she could only rely on those unknown plants and bugs.

Compared to people, Gu Shiyi was more willing to come into contact with these creatures that could not speak, so when Gu Shiyi found what she needed, it was already very dark. Thinking about how Xiao Zhi was still changing her clothes by herself, Gu Shiyi snapped her fingers and a Silver Snow Snake crawled out from within the grass not far away, crawling to Gu Shiyi's feet. Gu Shiyi bent down and extended his hand, allowing the Silver Snow Snake to climb onto her hand and into the pocket on her waist.

Speaking of this bag, Xiao Zhi had actually made it for her. Thinking of Xiao Zhi, Gu Shiyi suddenly felt that this girl who was only one year older than her, was the best person for her.

Compared to the treatment given to her by the other Maidservant s, Xiao Zhi could be said to be the worst, while she could completely rely on her superb needlework to win Sun Rumei's favor. However, she did not, and continued to silently guard by Gu Shiyi's side, using all her strength to protect and take care of her.

For the first time, Gu Shiyi's heart felt warm. Even her tense face softened a lot.

However, just as she approached the Skywater Residence, she saw the distant courtyard door open wide, giving her a bad premonition. She hurriedly ran towards the gate.

The moment Gu Shiyi walked into the courtyard, she saw Xiao Zhi sprawled on the doorstep of the room to the left with a face full of blood. Beside her, a small sandalwood chest was thrown to the side, and the jewelry inside was scattered all over the place.

Gu Shiyi's heart tightened. She quickly stepped forward to help him faint on Xiao Zhi's body. Her forehead was already broken, and blood was flowing all over her face.

Gu Shiyi didn't have time to think, she quickly dragged her onto the bed and got a basin of water to clean her wound. She then took out the Wind Bell Grass she had just picked and crushed it before putting it on her wound.

The Wind Bell Grass was actually a very common type of grass, but most people did not know that it had the ability to stop bleeding, and the effect was much better than normal hemostasis herbs. Coincidentally, there were a lot of Wind Bell Grass in the garden, Gu Shiyi had only picked some, but she did not expect it to be used so quickly.

Gu Shiyi once again examined Xiao Zhi's lower veins and knew that other than the wound on her head, she was fine. Furthermore, she would be awake in another hour.

Looking at the mess on the ground and the broken jewelry, Gu Shiyi had a clear idea of who did all of this.

Gu Shiyi looked at Xiao Zhi who was on the bed, thought for a while, then left the Silver Snow Snake on the bed. After whispering to it for a bit, she walked out of the room and disappeared into the night.

By the time they arrived at Hai, most of the people in the residence had already rested, with the exception of the servants who were patrolling back and forth along with the old wives who were keeping vigil.

Gu Shiyi sneaked all the way to the Cloud Gaze Pavilion, and glanced at the old granny who was dozing at the door. He quietly took out a Mam Spider and threw it onto the old granny's body.

After picking up the Mama Spider, Gu Shiyi walked towards the unique embroidery building without stopping.

After using the Mai Spider to knock everyone unconscious, Gu Shiyi openly walked to the main room on the second floor. Hearing the faint breathing of the woman on the bed, Gu Shiyi walked to the dressing table, under the faint moonlight, and mixed a fingernail-sized amount of powder into the rouge box. After doing all this, she quietly left the Cloud Thinking Pavilion.
