Gu Jinzhu stared at the two girls who were grinding her fists, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Alright then, after being found out, you two will just be waiting to be bought by human beings, let's see if you still dare to mess around!"

Like a punctured rubber ball, Bea took a breath and said gloomily, "Then what do we do? "Can it be that we can only watch helplessly as others bully us …"

Gu Jinzhu looked at the rolling clouds in the sky and lightly sighed. She said, "All of you need to remember one thing. When a person is under a roof, they have no choice but to lower their head. At times, patience is the only way to survive."

Who knew that early the next morning, Gu Jinzhu would encounter something she couldn't endure anymore.

She didn't have a kitchenette. She ate three meals a day, but when no one came to bring her breakfast, she couldn't help herself and went to the big kitchen.

As it happened, there was a huge pot of rice porridge simmering on the stove. She scooped out a bowl and took out a plate of Dragon-Whisked Silver Bread.

As he was walking out of the door, he bumped into his mother who was in charge of the kitchen. Who knew that the woman would be angered the moment she saw her and scolded loudly, "Which room's girl are you from?" This is too audacious! This is food prepared for the second young miss, and her carriage is about to enter the mansion. I think you don't want to live anymore. How dare you touch it! "

Bi Xi explained in a good voice that she was the girl's girl and that the girl still hadn't eaten. Who would have thought that the woman would glare at her and sneer, "So what if you are a girl? When the second young miss returned home today, everyone was busy with work, so where would I have the time to send it over to you? "

Thinking that Gu Jinzhu was still hungry, Bi Yao tried to hold in her anger. "I won't trouble Senior Servant. I'll carry it over myself. As for the porridge, it's such a big pot. Second Miss probably won't be able to eat it …"

Before she could finish her sentence, the woman shrieked, "Yo, Miss Bi, what are you talking about? There's a certain amount of food in this big kitchen, not even a grain of rice is worth as much as a big girl. You shouldn't worry about your hunger, but you should hurry up and go back so that Madam doesn't see the blame you."

Bi Feng was grinding her lips for a long time, but that old woman didn't loosen her mouth at all. She was so angry that her long, shapely eyebrows were slanted upwards. Then, she suddenly heard some noise from outside, someone shouted, "Second Miss has returned to her residence …"

Mrs. Cen's face lit up and she hurried out to see what was going on. When she saw that Bee was still standing in front of her, she pushed her away.

She took a few steps back, tripped over her skirt, and fell to the ground. She was still holding the bowl of porridge, and it all fell onto her clothes.

Summer clothes were thin, the porridge had just come out again, the soup was hot, the material was stuck to her body, and she was in so much pain that her face turned white, but the old woman went out without even looking at her.

When she endured the pain as she slowly made her way back to the Jade Bamboo Garden, Gu Jinzhu was startled by the sight. When she entered the room and took off her clothes, her stomach was already burning red.

Yun Xiang was so anxious that she was crying. Gu Jinzhu was also extremely distressed because the place where she was injured was concealed and unable to see the doctor. Thus, she sent Yun Xiang out in a hurry to buy some good burn medicine.

Bea gasped in pain, her little face pale, and she began to cry as she recounted what had happened. Gu Jinzhu gripped her fingers tightly, and her anger began to surge in her chest.

Yao family! Very good!

She gritted her teeth, and her eyes felt as if they were covered with a layer of ice.

She had never really cared about Yao being bothered by her, but Bea and Rue were like her scales. The three of them had grown up together, called the Master and Servant, and they were even closer to each other than sisters. The burn on Bee's body was worse than being scalded by her own heat.

At this moment, she truly hated Lady Yao.

At this moment, the front courtyard of the Gu Estate was bustling with noise and excitement. Imperial Concubine Fu had personally sent someone to bring Gu Beitong back. The luxurious black wood gilded carved carriage drove all the way into the inner courtyard, followed by a long row of rewards.

Gu Beitong was dressed in a long dress made of clay gold peony, and her head was covered with the crystal steps rewarded by Imperial Concubine Su. Her beauty was dazzling, and her Hibiscus Exquisite was even more beautiful than a peony in full bloom.

Gu Bi Tong first met her mother, then followed Lady Yao to Yan Fu Residence to pay respects to her grandmother. A bunch of maidservants embraced each other, their voices loud and powerful.

Gu Jinzhu, however, was worried about Biden's injury. She sent a little girl to Yenfu to say hello and missed her first meeting with Gu Bitong.

She quickly bought some medicine and applied it to her wound. Seeing that she was no longer crying out for pain, Gu Jinzhu was relieved.

It was a lively day at the Gu Estate, with many people coming and going. In the evening, they heard that even Gu Qingyuan, who they'd never seen before, had returned.

In the evening, a little girl came over to pass on a message that the Second Miss had hosted a banquet in the backyard, inviting the sisters to have a good time and emphasizing that Gu Qingyuan and Lady Yao would be there as well.

Gu Jinzhu had not seen her father Gu Qingyuan since her return, so she naturally couldn't refuse.

After the little girl left, Yunxiang busied herself with dressing and finding clothes for Gu Jinzhu. It was fine with Second Miss, but it was always more solemn to meet her father for the first time.

Although it was early August, the night breeze was a little cold, but Gu Jinzhu did not want to appear too grand. She only picked out a lakeside green and dark silver Eight Treasures Twisted Lotus Ribbon Skirt, tied a simple and neat spiral knot on her head, and wore a gold silk with a white jade inlaid with emerald peony pattern.

Because of her injury, Gu Jinzhu had brought the incense with her.

It was very quiet along the way. The maidservants all went to wait at the back garden. Only when they were slightly closer did they hear the sounds of laughter and cheers coming from the garden.

The bright red lanterns hung high up, illuminating the paths in the serene forest as bright as day. After turning over a large patch of parasol trees, one could see that the garden was filled with luxuriant purple and red flowers.

A maidservant in green dress shuttled back and forth. A table had been set up in the garden. Lady Yao and Gu Qingyuan had already arrived and were being surrounded by a group of people, laughing and joking.

Gu Jinzhu's gaze immediately fell on the man sitting in the middle seat.

When she had left the manor at a young age, her impression of her father had long since turned blurry. As she stared at that distant figure, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Although he was already past middle age, Gu Qingyuan still stood tall and straight, with five well-built officials and a long beard below his chin. One could vaguely see his young, jade-like appearance.

She quickly walked over and bowed to her father, "My unfilial daughter, Jin Zhu greets father."

The surrounding voices instantly quieted down. When Gu Qingyuan saw her, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he carefully sized her up. He couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, "This is Zhu Er? You've grown so big... "Good, good. Your appearance is just like your mother's. It's getting more and more beautiful …"

Gu Qingyuan hadn't even finished speaking when he heard Lady Yao's unhappy snort. With a sour tone, she said, "It's really hard for Master. You still remember how big sister looks like all these years …"
