Returning to the Green Bamboo Garden, Gu Jinzhu applied the medicine for the incense again. As expected, the medicine Gu Zhiyue had given her was excellent medicine. The slightly bleeding wound immediately stopped bleeding.
She had been scalded and had rested, but when she saw the light in Gu Jinzhu's room, she could not help but come over and was startled by the sight of Yun Xiang.
Yun Xiang recounted what happened just now before patting her chest with a face full of joy. "Luckily I fell down. If Miss fell down on it, that would be terrible."
He complained again, "Third Young Miss is really too outrageous. With her bad temper, I wonder how Aunt Jiang taught her."
Bi Feng clenched her teeth in anger and scolded, "I already knew that she had ill intentions towards young miss. A concubine girl, every day her nose is not her nose, and her eyes are not her eyes. Do you really think you are something!?"
Hearing the two girls angrily cursing, Gu Jinzhu didn't make a sound as she thought back to the previous situation.
To be honest, Gu Bijin was just a spoiled brat. She was impulsive and had no brain, so she would be embarrassed after being teased for a while.
However, Gu Bi Tong … She hadn't thought that her second sister, who was praised by the whole family, would actually be so scheming. On the surface, it seemed like she was friendly and generous, but she kept calling her elder sister by her arm.
At that time, she really did not want to argue with Gu Bijin, so she had given up her spot. It was a small matter, but Gu Bi Tong had grabbed onto it and told her to 'apologize' and 'kneel' to Gu Bi Jin, which had infuriated her and made her impulsively attack him.
If she hadn't been the one who had rushed over and fallen on the table, not only would she have been injured, but most importantly, she would have lost face in front of all the servants in the Residence of He. In the future, she would have had even less prestige in the Residence.
This second sister was really good at scheming. At the same time, she also silently vented her anger on behalf of Yao clan.
Gu Jinzhu lightly tapped her fingers on the table. She had really underestimated her second sister. Not only was she as beautiful as a flower, her scheming was also much better than her own mother, the Yao family.
She exhaled softly, feeling depressed. She had only been at home for a few days, and both Yun Xiang and Bi Meng were injured. Yao and her mother had been in control of the house for so many years, it was so easy for them to put obstacles in her way.
This was the first time she felt a heaviness in her heart. When she had returned to the manor, she had already expected such a situation to occur. She didn't care about her own matters, but it had implicated Yun Xiang and Bi Ji.
In the upper room of the Golden Parasol Courtyard, Lady Yao was sprawled on the couch, her legs massaged personally by Gu Bi Tong.
She was only wearing an azure silk robe, and under the sparkling candlelight, her facial features became even more picturesque, and her skin became even more crystalline like snow.
Mistress Yao looked at her daughter and felt joy no matter how she looked at it. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Tong'er, you've finally let out a sigh of relief for your mother this time."
Thinking about how she had just been punished to kneel for four hours a few days ago, her teeth started to itch. For so many years, besides the madame, she was the only one in the mansion who was powerful. She did not expect to suffer a loss at the hands of a little girl.
Gu Bi Tong smiled, her beautiful face like a blooming spring flower. She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is nothing, it's not enough!" Today, she wanted to make Gu Jinzhu make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the little girl beside her.
Lady Yao also thought that Gu Jinzhu was unharmed and couldn't help but to say hatefully, "She is quite lucky."
Gu Beitang smiled and increased her strength, "Mother, you're too impatient. She just returned home, why are you so anxious to take action?" As long as she remains in the mansion for a day, you will have the authority to control her. Why do you have to go up against her now?
"What am I afraid of!" "I didn't do it for you. It's not like you didn't see what she looked like …" She gritted her teeth and said, "I never thought that sickly Yangzi would give birth to such a daughter. With her looks, if she were to climb on some high branch in the future, wouldn't it put a heavy burden on you? And your father, he obviously treats that little bitch as though she's a rare commodity. Otherwise, Jin'er wouldn't act this way! "
"There are so many beauties in the world, but most of them have a pathetic life. If they want to place their life on my head, she'll still have to have that life!"
She looked at Yao Yuan's anxious expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it just a famous daughter like father? Do you think it's worth it for you to waste so much effort? To be honest, no matter how beautiful she is, it's useless. If she can't get out and is trapped inside the mansion, then who in the outside world would know of such a young miss? "
Lady Yao's eyes lit up. "You're saying …"
Gu Beitong leaned over and whispered a few words into her ear.
Mrs Yao hesitated, "Is that alright? "She's about to reach her prime. Your father will probably want me to take her out to have fun with him in the future. If we keep her locked in the manor without even taking a single step, how could your father be willing to comply …"
Gu Beitong took a fan made of autumn flowers and shook it lightly, her smile was both beautiful and haughty as she said, "Isn't mother the one in charge of this entire backyard? If he found an excuse, he would say that his elder sister was sick and it would be inappropriate to go out. What could his father do? After the wedding ceremony of next year, mother will find her a random family, and she will have to accept them! "
Lady Yao nodded. "That's right. This method is good. She will be 20 years old next May. It seems like she doesn't have much time left …"
Gu Bi Tong continued to lower her voice. "Although she's my father's daughter, the direct descendant of the Duke of Guo's estate, if she doesn't behave herself and get involved in private with others, father won't recognize her again. At that time, how should we deal with her …"
Although it was just a few sentences, the content was soul-stirring, especially when it came to the topic of "having an affair with someone in private". Even though it was just a few sentences, the content was soul-stirring, especially when it came to the topic of "having an affair with someone in private".
With just a few words from her daughter, she dispelled the gloom that Lady Yao had suppressed for the past few days and couldn't help but feel at ease. "You're the one who had an idea. It looks like Imperial Concubine Fu has taught you well this year. If you marry in the future …" Mother can finally rest assured. "
Mrs Yao came from a low background and didn't have much experience. After marrying into the family, Gu Qingyuan had to protect her personally. There weren't many concubines in the backyard, so there wasn't much trouble.
Her older sister, Imperial Concubine Su, was different. She had climbed from a small noble to the imperial concubine position. She had seen all sorts of methods in the palace, and she often brought Gu Beitang with her.
A faint blush appeared on Gu Bi Tong's face. With a flirtatious glint in her eyes, she snuggled into Lady Yao's embrace and shyly said, "Whoever wants to marry, I want to spend my life with Mother. I'll let no one feel happy if Mother isn't satisfied!"
