“Second Sister, you must believe me. She has become really weird since she fell into the water. She even exposed the affair between Mother’s maids, Biyun and Xiaoqingzi. Now she has named the newly appointed top scholar and your secret meeting. She hasn’t returned to the capital in over a decade. How did she find out?” Gu Junyue saw Gu Junyao’s disdain and couldn’t help but straighten up her expression, recounting what Gu Yunru did yesterday.

“Such a thing happened? Father despises anything supernatural. Since she has made it difficult for me, I cannot let her be smug!” Gu Junyao’s eyes flashed with a hint of severity, and then she leaned over and whispered a few words to Gu Junyue’s ear. Gu Junyue nodded repeatedly and even showed a hint of a smile, praising, “Sister, you are so capable. Let’s do it this way. We won’t have trouble bringing her down!”

On the other hand, Gu Yunru returned to her yard, and the wet nurse and Qingxing were both anxious. They had slightly red eyes and said, “Miss, did Madam make things difficult for you? I heard she came back and got very angry…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just extremely hungry. Let’s eat quickly,” Gu Yunru said as she entered the room.

The table was already set with food, but the dishes were very meager. There was only a bone soup, which was not very clear in color and had a layer of oil on top. There was also a dish of three treasures stir-fried meat, a dish of cold-dressed bamboo shoots, and a dish of scrambled eggs with chili peppers. Not only were the ingredients not valuable, but the appearance was also not very good.

As Gu Yunru had transmigrated over, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, Qingxing was very angry and said, “Miss, those kitchen women are too much! These are the basic dishes for servants! I said that our young lady just recovered from her illness and needed better food, but they said that Madam hadn’t yet assigned our young lady’s status, so these dishes are just for them to eat! Isn’t that infuriating?”
