Gu Beitang laughed. "What's the matter with Guan Hua, it's your physique that's important. Hurry up and find an imperial physician from the palace to treat your allergies."
Gu Bijin was overjoyed. She quickly expressed her thanks, "Thank you, second sister."
Gu Jinzhu brought the incense to the other side and walked around. The two sisters' voices gradually faded away.
Unbeknownst to them, Gu Beitang was looking at Bi Jin's face with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
In the evening, Jindan was in the center.
Lady Yao was leaning against the rohan bed with a lackadaisical expression. The little girl below her had a small jade hammer in her hand, and was hammering her legs with it.
Gu Bi Tong lifted the curtain and entered. She didn't wait for Lady Yao to speak before she ordered her maidservants to leave.
Mistress Yao sat up and waved her hand with a smile, "My son, why are you in such a hurry? Hurry and come to your mother's side."
"Mother." Gu Beitang's face was full of anxiety. She tugged on Lady Yao's sleeve and said, "That box of rouge doesn't seem to be for big sister anymore."
"What?" Mrs Yao was shocked.
Gu Beitong quickly recounted Gu Bijin's symptoms, then said, "I suspect that she gave that box of rouge to Third Sister."
"It can't be." Mistress Yao hesitated. "That was sent out of the palace. How could she give it up?"
"Then why is Third Sister's face red while Big Sister's face is fine?"
Gu Beitang had an anxious expression on her face. She had gotten that box of rouge with great difficulty. If she hadn't given it to Gu Jinzhu, then all her efforts would have been in vain.
Lady Yao thought for a moment before pacifying her daughter, "Don't worry, didn't Third Young Madam suffer from allergies before? Maybe it's just a coincidence, the amount of medicine in that box of rouge is too little, and it won't take effect that quickly, unless it's used together with that skincare ointment. I don't believe that she's willing to give all these good things to Jin'er. "
Gu Bi Tong calmed herself down. She didn't believe that Gu Jinzhu's luck was that good, but she still warned Yao Shi, "You'd better call that girl Magpie over tomorrow morning and ask her about it. This isn't a small matter and must not be left out."
Mrs Yao nodded. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll call Magpie over tomorrow."
The two mother and daughter, however, never thought that Gu Jinlong didn't give those things to Gu Beijin, but rather snatched them herself.
The sky was already dark, and the magpie was still kneeling at the door. It knelt there for a long time, crying and begging for mercy. This girl no longer had her previous arrogant look.
Seeing her return, she immediately perked up and rushed over to hug her leg, wailing loudly. "Eldest Miss, your servant knows his wrongs. Why don't you spare my servant?"
Gu Jinzhu circled around her and quickly entered the room without even looking at her.
Yun Xiang followed behind her with no trace of sympathy on her face.
That night, no matter how much the magpie cried outside, Gu Jinzhu ignored it and hung her out for the entire night.
For someone like her, who was always ready to give her master trouble in the dark, if she didn't deal with him once and for all, it would be even more troublesome in the future.
The magpie was a proud and sharp person, he would often beat and scold others that his wife had sent down. Now that he was being punished, no one was willing to take care of her, so Willow and Xiao Cui had long since closed their doors to rest.
It was Grandma Wang who finally threw a cushion at her, causing her to suffer through the night.
By the morning of the second day, the magpie was like an eggplant that had been frosted by frost and lost all spirit. Gu Jinzhu ordered someone to carry her back to her room. After the incident, she didn't dare to say anything else.
In the center of Jin Wu City, Lady Yao looked at the Seven Conjures, her face filled with displeasure.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the Jade Bamboo Garden properly?" Why did you come over? Where's the magpie? "
Qi Qiao blessed herself, and a trace of grievance appeared on her face. "Reporting to Madam, it's not that this servant is willing to come, it's just that I'm a magpie." "She won't be able to come, so this servant was afraid of delaying Madam from her questioning. Thus, I found an opportunity to come over."
Mrs Yao was stunned. "What happened to the magpie?"
Qi Qiao told him about what happened yesterday, then wiped her eyes and said, "Madam, it's true that you didn't see it. Magpie kneeled on the ground all night long, I'm afraid both his legs are going to be crippled …"
Lady Yao clenched her teeth in hatred. She couldn't see that this little girl was quite ruthless!
The magpie's leg was injured, so he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of things for her for the time being. Fortunately, he still had seven tricks up his sleeve.
She hurriedly asked Seventh Heaven about this matter, and then said anxiously, "Did you use that little hoof of hers? It can't be that he's giving it to someone else, right? "
Qi Qiao shook her head, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Madam, this servant doesn't know that Eldest Miss has never trusted us and has never allowed us to come into her room to serve her. This servant is also not clear about the matter of rouge. "
Mistress Yao's face fell into a state of disappointment. She couldn't help but throw the teacup beside her at Seventh Heaven and angrily said, "Trash! It's been such a long time, and you still haven't obtained the trust of that slut. You can't even serve her in close proximity.
Qi Qiao was drenched in hot tea, but she didn't dare to avoid it. She kneeled down and said, "Madam is clear, that young miss is very cautious. Other than the two girls by her side, no one else trusts her. This servant has no other choice!"
Seeing the dark and angry expression on Mistress Yao's face, she hurriedly added, "Mistress, please don't be angry. This servant will definitely think of a way to find out if Eldest Miss used that rouge. Does Mistress have any other instructions?"
Lady Yao waved her hand and told her to scram. She felt as if a thorn had pierced into her heart.
Why did such an accident always happen every time he wanted to teach that little hoof a lesson?
Hopefully, those things were still used by that little bitch, but the effects were a bit too late.
However, before Seventh Heaven could find out whether Gu Jinzhu had used rouge, the message from the young miss of the Zhu Family had already been sent over.
He had invited Miss Gu to visit the Zhu Residence Courtyard to admire the chrysanthemums because he knew that the Gu family's eldest daughter had returned to the capital, and he had especially invited Gu Jinzhu to visit.
Lady Yao frowned as she looked at the vermillion note in her hand. The young lady of the Taoist temple had an illustrious reputation in the capital. She was a renowned and talented woman, and was one of the core members of this group of noble daughters.
During the previous emperor's era, there was a favoured imperial concubine. Now, Miss Zhu was known for her talents, and her brother was a young man who was appointed as a imperial bodyguard. He was the emperor's favorite, and the Yao Family had taught her to be on good terms with him.
This Miss Zhu had an elegant personality. Every August, she would hold a chrysanthemum feast at the side yard, inviting all the renowned ladies in the capital to meet. Gu Beitong also had some fame in the capital, so she was naturally invited every year.
The person that Miss Zhu had invited was not only someone of good family background but also someone with outstanding talent. To be able to show her face once at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet meant that she had truly stepped into the circle of noble ladies of Shengjing.
The reason why she had sent the rouge to Gu Jinzhu in advance was because she had calculated that she would explode at this time and would definitely be unable to attend the banquet.
Gu Jinzhu had just returned to the capital. Someone who knew of her would definitely be curious about her, the young mistress of the Duke's Mansion who had been staying in Jiangnan all this time. When that time came, she would definitely post an invitation.
However, as long as there was a problem with her face, she could only stay in the manor. After a long time, who would still remember her? Gu Qingyuan's calculations would naturally fail.
She had planned everything out well, but she hadn't expected Gu Jinzhu's face to be fine until now!
