Yesterday, no matter how hard she tried, Gu Qingyuan wouldn't let go and punish Gu Jinzhu. He even warned her that this matter would end here and not allow her to do anything else.
Lady Yao was so angry that her heart ached. Even though she had put in so much effort, she couldn't hurt Gu Jinzhu in the slightest.
Gu Beitang also felt it was inconceivable. Her father usually doted on her, but she didn't expect that after coming back for only a few days, her father's heart would be completely set on her side. This made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
She spun twice on the ground with a trace of anxiety on her face. "Mom, we can't go on like this. Third Sister's face is so bad that even Father isn't helping her. If we let that bitch gain a foothold, who knows what might happen in the future?"
"How would I not know? But right now, your father is very protective, so if we attack again, it will only anger your father. This morning, he even told me to bring that slut to attend the chrysanthemum feast, waiting for her precious daughter to come out."
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Bi Tong's face. "Since father is so eager for big sister to come out, why don't we take advantage of his intentions?"
Mistress Yao was stunned before she angrily said, "Then wouldn't that be letting that little bitch off?"
She was very clear that with Gu Jinzhu's looks, she would definitely shock everyone at the banquet.
There were so many precious girls in the capital, and very few could surpass her in terms of looks. Even his own daughter, Bi Tong, had such a bright and beautiful appearance.
"There are many ways to become famous, but none of them are necessarily good."
She stood up and walked towards a rose. She pinched off a petal and crushed it into pieces. The bright red juice instantly dyed her fingertip red, but it couldn't match the cold smile in her eyes.
"You mean —"
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Since father wants you to take her there, you should do it beautifully. Oh right, I don't know if Big Sis has any clothes or jewelry, but since you want to see me, of course you can't be too shabby. I still have two sets of clothes on me, so why not send them over to let father know how considerate you are."
Seeing that her daughter had an idea, Lady Yao immediately calmed down.
It could be said that the person she trusted the most was her own daughter.
Gu Beitang had been intelligent since she was young and had been taught by Imperial Concubine Shi. She was far more scheming than she was, and usually when there were matters, Lady Yao would ask her for her opinion. Thus, in the Gu household, other than the Zhen Clan, Gu Bi Tong was the one in charge.
Within the Jade Bamboo Garden.
Su Ju looked eagerly at the door, running one trip after another. Yun Xiang could not help but ask, "What are you looking at? So long? "
Su Ju pouted and said, "Didn't Master say he would give it to Miss as a gift? Why is no one coming at this time? "
Yun Xiang was also startled. Yesterday, Gu Qingyuan had said that he would bring over an ice bucket and some money. She too had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Who knew that it was almost noon, and no one had come yet?
When Yun Xiang entered the room, Gu Jinzhu had tied a simple bun on her head and was currently leaning on the bed with a book to casually flip through.
Yun Xiang said in disappointment, "Miss, Master. Did you forget what you said yesterday? Otherwise, why haven't you come over yet? "
Gu Jinzhu's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything.
In her heart, she didn't hold much hope. Although she hadn't seen her father for many times, she knew Gu Qingyuan too well.
If he was someone who valued rules and regulations, the Gu Estate wouldn't be in such a state.
He had long been obsessed with Lady Yao and had a soft spot for her. Thus, he could just ignore what she said.
Even so, she still felt a bit sour in her heart.
It wasn't that he didn't have any expectations, but his father. In the end, she was once again disappointed.
At noon, Lady Yao actually sent someone to deliver two sets of dresses and some jewelry. The maidservant who brought the items sent word that the young lady of the Gu family had placed a sticker on the Gu family's young lady to invite her to participate in the chrysanthemum viewing feast.
After carrying their clothes back to the house, Su Ju and Yun Xiang were shocked.
The dress was a top quality material, top quality silk, as smooth as water, a light pink, an icy blue, and not only beautiful in color, but also beautifully styled.
The jewelry that was sent was also exquisite.
However, Yun Xiang and Su Ju were both afraid of Lady Yao's schemes. They were afraid that she would plot against them, so they didn't dare to casually give Gu Jinzhu clothes.
He checked everything thoroughly and even went through the water twice to wash it clean. Only then did it hang out and be carefully ironed.
The jewelry also checked back and forth, making sure nothing happened before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Has Madame changed her character? Such good clothes can actually be sent to Miss? "
Yun Xiang changed her clothes as she said, "Who cares about her? In any case, we ladies have to go out with great difficulty. We really don't have any suitable clothes."
The clothes Gu Jinzhu was wearing were a little too big, so she could only help her put away her waist.
Two days later, Yun Xiang and Su Ju woke up early in the morning to clean Gu Jinzhu's face and comb her makeup.
Su Ju prepared Gu Jinzhu's clothes for her, and Yun Xiang pondered in the mirror, "Miss, what kind of hair style are you going to comb today?" He ran a finger nimbly through his black hair to create a beautiful shape.
Gu Jinzhu had never liked complicated hair knots before. This time, it was simple hair knots, but she wore a dazzling set of red agate stone pearls on her head. There was a small golden chain in front of her forehead, and a red ruby hung like a drop of water on her forehead.
She wore the royal blue dress, and Plum took out a pair of sparkling white jade bracelets and placed them on her wrists. She also took out a pair of beautiful crescent moons and hung them around her waist, pressing down the corners of her skirt.
Finally, he squatted down to tidy up her skirt.
Yun Xiang was still a bit worried, and she repeatedly reminded Su Ju, "Be careful when you go. You must follow Miss Ling and remember not to speak carelessly. Don't cause any trouble for her."
Su Ju waved her hand, "Got it, Sister Yun Xiang. You've been reciting for the whole night, I'll definitely follow Miss closely."
Yun Xiang nodded. She was obviously still worried, but she could do nothing about it.
Gu Jinzhu could only bring one girl with her when she went to the banquet this time. Plum blossom loved liveliness, so she wanted to follow along to take a look. Yun Xiang had no choice but to stay at home to look after the house.
In the outer room, the little girl sent by the Yao family was already urging them to leave. Gu Jinzhu tidied up everything and quickly walked out with Su Ju.
