Yang Jiayao smiled with gratitude. Seeing this, Gu Hua Jing unconsciously brought it up, "Second sister in law, now that the Gu family is in trouble, you have to take care of your body."

Yang Jiayao was surprised, "You, you know about it?" I thought that second master and the others would not tell you. "

"Hmm, so I'll have to ask Second Sister-in-law to tell me, did something really happen to the Gu family?"

This time, Yang Jiayao was truly shocked. She looked at Gu Hua Jing in disbelief, "Little, little sister, this is …?"

Gu Hua Jing remained calm and composed, "Daddy and elder brothers aren't willing to tell you. I'm only here to ask sister-in-law about this. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone, so just tell me."

"Then just now …"

"Oh, I lied to you."

"Jingjing …"

"Don't ask, your dad and your brother don't want you to know, they just don't want you to worry about them. Even I, second master doesn't know that I know."

"Sister-in-law, just tell me. If something happens to me and you tell me to hide it from father and brothers, will you agree?" "Now that the Gu Family is in trouble, how can I stay out of it? Even if I can't help them, I can always pray for the Gu Family in my heart, don't you think?"

Gu Hua Jing knew Yang Jia Yao's gentle nature, so she acted shamelessly and swore that she wouldn't reveal it.

Yang Jiayao couldn't help sighing after being pestered by her.

No one knew what bad luck had befallen the Gu family recently, but one after another, the three Gu Hua Lei brothers were denounced for malpractice and injustice.

The informants were still able to produce evidence, but it didn't seem like they were going to prove their innocence.

Thus, the three of them stopped their errands and waited in the mansion for the matter to be investigated.

"Sister, don't worry, it's just a matter of time when I hear it. As long as you spend time investigating the evidence, you will be able to find out everything. I believe Second Master and the others would not do something like that."

Gu Hua Jing nodded when she heard this. From the sound of it, it didn't seem like a big problem.

However, the problem was that if they could frame three people at the same time, it would be hard to say what the person behind all this had in mind.

Gu Hua Jing always had a strange feeling. A chill started to seep out from her back again.

She also did not understand why these cold feelings were so. She only felt some fear in her heart.

"Fourth sister?"

Gu Hua Jing came back to her senses and saw Yang Jia Yao's worried expression, "Fourth sister, don't think too much. It's because I'm afraid you'll think too much, so Dad and Second Master don't want you to know."

"Mm, I understand. It's good that I know that it's not too big of a deal."

Gu Hua Jing had a relieved look, which made Yang Jiayao unable to hold back from letting out a sigh of relief.

However, that icy cold aura that was like a shadow that followed her for a long time didn't disappear even after Gu Hua Jing had returned from the Gu family's residence …

Not long after she returned from the Gu family's residence, the Gu family sent her a message.

It was sent by Yang Jiayao. It said that the Gu family's crisis had been resolved, so she did not need to worry. Furthermore, it mentioned the Fang family, saying that it had already conveyed her meaning.

Gu Hua Jing's heart finally calmed down a little. As long as the Gu family was fine, she felt a lot more at ease.

The heavens seemed to love her. The problems around her began to slowly dissolve. Even the Third Prince, who gave her the most headache, had not been heard from for several days.

I think so, don't you remember?

Gu Hua Jing prayed with all her heart.

In the afternoon, Gu Hua Jing took a short nap. When she woke up, Qing Mei came to tell her that someone from the residence had arrived.

"Who is it?"

"Miss, it's the Fang family."

"Huh?"

Gu Hua Jing's elegant and beautiful eyebrows immediately wrinkled. The Fang family? What did they want from him? Didn't father already return?

"Miss, don't worry. It's the servant next to the Old Master of the Fang family. This servant here isn't here to denounce you."

As Qingmei spoke, she helped Gu Hua Jing change into a new set of clothes and tidied up her hair. Only then did Gu Hua Jing walk out of the house and into the front hall.

It was indeed the servant next to the Fang family's old patriarch. His name seemed to be Xiu Zhu.

"Greetings, Fourth Miss Gu."

When Xiu Zhu saw Gu Hua Jing, he immediately smiled and bowed. His attitude was extremely respectful, as if he wasn't here to cause trouble.

Since that was the case, Gu Hua Jing was relieved. She got someone to pour him a cup of tea.

"I don't dare, I dare. I've come today to deliver a message to Fourth Young Miss on behalf of my Old Master."

Xiu Zhu stood there obediently. "The Old Master has said that Miss Gu is belittling herself too much. I hope Miss Gu doesn't mind the rumors that the young lady's aptitude is low. How can someone who the Old Master approves be weak?" Isn't that slapping his face? "

"…" That rumor was let out by Gu Hua Jing herself.

Gu Hua Jing wanted to laugh. She had even mentioned this to the old man, so she didn't believe that the old man didn't know where this rumor came from.

"My family's old master keeps his word the most. He never took back the words he said before. I hope Fourth Miss Gu doesn't mind those unnecessary things and continue on her way to the Fang Residence."

"Go back and thank your old master for me. However, as a woman, it's not convenient for me to frequent other houses. Besides, Old Master Fang has other disciples too, I'm afraid it won't be convenient."

Xiu Zhu's expression did not change. "Please be at ease, Fourth Miss Gu. The Old Master has already taken into account all the inconvenience for you. Fourth Miss Gu can go back to the Fang family in the afternoon and avoid unnecessary problems."

"…" Gu Hua Jing's eyes widened. Did she hear wrong? Afternoon?

Didn't Fang Wanxin tell her that the Old Master was studying in the afternoon, and no one was allowed to disturb him? How could it be afternoon?

"Little brother, did you hear wrongly? I've also heard of the Old Master Fang's habit. In the afternoon... "Isn't that impossible?"

"Don't worry Fourth Miss Gu, this little one has absolutely no chance of hearing wrongly. It's just that in the afternoon, the old man pitied Fourth Miss Gu's past encounters, and the young lady's residence was not too close to the Fang Residence, which is why this change occurred. I hope Fourth Miss Gu will consider the Old Master's kindness and benevolence and agree."

What … What did she promise? Gu Hua Jing stared at Xiu Zhu, while Xiu Zhu also stared at her.

How could Xiu Zhu be so sure that he was not mistaken? When he heard the Old Master's orders, he also thought that he had misheard. He asked several times, but the Old Master was already impatient and scolded him loudly.

Could he be wrong?

He really didn't know what was so special about Fourth Miss Gu that made the Old Master break the rule to see her in the afternoon. Could it be that this was really a stunning woman?

At this moment, Gu Hua Jing was also puzzled. She had only been there once, and it looked like she had … It was really her that made her blush even when she recalled it.

Was it because the Old Master had never seen such a disobedient student that he found it especially interesting?

"Fourth Miss Gu, just agree. This little one will go back and report back, or else … this little one really won't be able to reply to the Old Master. This little one has both seniors and juniors, I can't just throw this job away …"

Seeing that Gu Hua Jing had no reaction, Xiu Zhu knelt down with a 'putong' and began to cry, scaring Gu Hua Jing into a jump.

"Get up first. It's good to have something to say."

"Fourth Miss Gu, since the Old Master thinks so highly of you, I beg of you, don't disappoint him. My old master's health isn't good to begin with, there's no end to the doctors in the estate. If there's something good, what can I do about it …"

How did he end up in such a miserable state?

Gu Hua Jing really was the top two.

But if it was in the afternoon, would she not have to get up so early? He could sleep as usual until he woke up naturally and then walk away leisurely.

Furthermore, he could even see the beautiful and elegant little sister Wan Xin in the Fang Residence …

Although she really didn't understand much about it, as long as she didn't get up early, she would still … It's acceptable.

In Gu Hua Jing's mind, there was a factor that even she didn't realize.

The Fang family's old patriarch's disciples, and even his older brothers, felt that they were extraordinary. They definitely weren't.

Although she didn't care about her false reputation, if she could raise her status, wouldn't it mean that the people who could bully her with their power would be fewer?

"I understand. Go back and tell the Fang family's old patriarch that I will be there."

Xiu Zhu's face was suddenly filled with gratitude, but his heart was filled with confusion. His tone was as if he had made a decision out of helplessness. Could it be that the Old Master was begging Fourth Miss Gu?

"Ugh …" It seemed to be true. Why was it like this?

After Xiu Zhu left, Gu Hua Jing found it funny.

She didn't know how her father told the Fang family's Old Master, but he actually postponed his visit to the Fang family estate. Did he really say that he couldn't get up because of her?

No way …

Gu Hua Jing's face was filled with black lines from imagining it.

"Miss, the gatekeeper is looking for someone again."

"Who is it this time? Xiu Zhu is back? "

"That's not it. This time, it's the Bai Clan's second young master."

"…" Bai Lingtian?

Gu Hua Jing was startled for a moment. She had almost forgotten about Bai Lingtian. Didn't the two of them already explain it clearly? Bai Lingtian already knew what he was thinking, why would he still come to find her? Was it something else?

If it was before, Gu Hua Jing would probably not have even seen him. But now, she felt that it was clear to her that Bai Ling had come looking for her because of some other matter.

Thus, Gu Hua Jing simply stopped moving and had Bai Lingtian enter.

This was the first time Bai Lingtian had come to the Flowing Garden, and the attendant that was leading the way was him. He was shocked by the scenery around him.

Leisurely, calmly, with a lazy beauty everywhere, just like its mistress.

Stepping into the front hall, Bai Lingtian's eyes lit up as his eyes automatically focused on the beautiful silhouette in front of him.

After not seeing her for a few days, Bai Lingtian realized that his impression of Gu Hua Jing had not diminished. Instead, the moment he saw her, all of his hidden thoughts exploded outwards.

"Miss Gu."

"Master Bai, how are you? Please have a seat. Serve some tea."

Gu Hua Jing greeted him courteously, her expression didn't have the slightest hint of unusualness.

Bai Lingtian did not know why, but as he looked at Gu Huanjing who was acting so natural, a faint sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
