The girl beside the young miss of the Yang Mansion had sharp eyes. With a glance, she saw the two pearls standing in the corridor, so she immediately whispered something in her ear.

Yang Qianyu raised her head and saw Gu Jinzhu. She was followed by a little girl, which was extremely shabby compared to this lady who was surrounded by people.

She was secretly pleased with herself, but pretended to be happy and surprised as she said, "Isn't that little sister Zhu Er? "Little sister is really arrogant. She had already sent little lass to invite the fourth and third generation disciples. Since then, she has not shown her face. You had better tell us to wait."

She raised her fan to cover the corner of her lips. There was a hint of a smile in her voice, making her seem both charming and light.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw a girl wearing a yellow dress standing at the corner. Her hair was long and reached her waist and her figure was slender. The red lanterns above her head cast a hazy glow all over her body.

Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Yang Qi Yu in an open manner, "Cousin." As she approached, the white gauze covering her body was gently lifted, causing her figure to curl up like a fairy under the moon.

Yang Qi Yu saw her clothes, and her face suddenly froze. There was a trace of undetectable jealousy and hatred in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up. She smiled and took her hand, and said in surprise, "Sister's hand is so cold."

She looked up and down at her clothes, then lightly rebuked, "The weather is already at the beginning of autumn, why is little sister still wearing summer dresses? Your body has always been thin, so don't turn around and catch a cold. "

As she spoke, she frowned and scolded Bi Feng who was behind her, "You little hoof that doesn't care about food at all! It just rained and you already made your little sister wear such thin clothes. When I see you again, I'll make you sick!

Biden was Gu Jinzhu's little girl. When Old Mistress Yang was alive, she doted on her and even the little girl beside her had her face, so who in the house didn't call her "Miss Aster" when they saw her? Now that she was called a "lowly servant" in front of everyone, her face immediately turned red and white, and she had to put up with it just so that she wouldn't cause trouble for her mistress.

Yang Qi Yu coldly snorted, "You don't know the rules!" He turned around and said to the little girl behind him, "Lixiang, hurry up and bring that silver silk cloak of mine."

That girl agreed and turned around to leave, but Gu Jinzhu said, "No need."

She raised her head and looked at Yang Qianyu's face, and lightly said, "Thank you for elder cousin's good intentions, but I don't feel cold at all. This dress was given to me by my grandmother, the satin is the brocade dress of Shu Jin Manor, and it looks as light as the clouds, but the inside is warm and thick, so I don't need more clothes."

Although she rejected him bluntly, Yang Qi Yu was not annoyed. She just smiled and said, "Then forget it." Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "It was from Grandmother? Isn't that the old clothes from last year? "

She looked at Jin Zhu, and said with a pained expression, "Little sister, it's true. How could you take out last year's old clothes so easily and put them on? "If you said that you didn't have any clothes on, I would have already had someone deliver them to you. As for you …"

As she spoke, she seemed to have realized something and hurriedly covered her mouth with a fragrant fan as she looked around in confusion. As expected, when she saw the ladies who were envious of Gu Jinzhu's charm just now, a trace of disdain appeared in their eyes.

Gu Jinzhu, no matter how beautiful you are, it's useless. In this circle that emphasizes status and wealth, you're nothing!

Gu Jinzhu looked at Yang Qi Yu's barely concealed happiness and sighed secretly. She had thought that this cousin of hers was just being selfish and not thinking at all. But now, it seemed that she wasn't just brainless, she was simply extremely stupid!

She told others that she had no new clothes and looked shabby, but she lived in the Yang family. If word got out, outsiders would only say that her uncle Yang Shao was unworthy of being Lin An's richest man, but had treated his niece harshly.

Obviously, Yang Qi Yu didn't think about this, she still pretended to be affectionate as she held her hand and introduced to the crowd, "This is that cousin Zhu Er who lives in my house. It's just that Grandmother has never brought her out before, so no one knows her."

Her tone was extremely casual, revealing only two meanings: (1) she lived in her home, which was the same as living under someone else's roof; and (2) her grandmother had never brought her out to be sociable, which meant she was not favoured.

The moment she finished speaking, the ladies and young ladies who were whispering just now looked over curiously. All kinds of gazes swept over Gu Jinzhu from head to toe, carrying some contempt.

Yang Qianyu was extremely proud of herself, this was the effect she wanted.

In the past, whenever she and Gu Jinzhu were present at the same time, everyone's eyes would only be on her. From just an hour ago, she had heard countless people praise Gu Jinzhu's beauty.

Afterwards, the two of them grew up together, and Yang Qianyu worked extra hard on her appearance. The beads liked to be plain and light, almost to the point that they couldn't be used. She dressed up like a bouquet of flowers, and her clothes were extremely gorgeous.

There was a smile on her face, but it could not hide the gloom in her eyes. I would like to see these snobbish madams know that you are the lonely girl who was abandoned to break off the engagement, who would think highly of you!

Gu Jinzhu seemed to not have noticed the provocation in her words as she revealed a faint smile, "That's right, Grandmother is constantly warning me to guard my maiden name and to avoid attracting attention by myself. However, this is only for ordinary women like me, so naturally, it's much better than my cousin's often socializing with me by my uncle's side."

Her voice was light and nimble, the smile on her lips was like a rose blooming under the moon, causing the bystanders to suck in a breath. This girl looked weak and delicate, but her sharp mouth was really fierce! Wasn't this clearly saying that it would be bad for her reputation to show her face!?

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Yang Qi Yu. They saw the young miss Yang's beautiful face turn livid with anger, and her pair of eyes fiercely stared at Gu Jinzhu, as if she was about to spit fire.

However, Gu Jinzhu turned a blind eye to her murderous gaze and bowed, "Cousin still wants to take you ladies to the park. I won't disturb everyone's fun. I'll go greet uncle first."

As he spoke, he brushed past her without even looking at her. He then took the little girl and left.

She was beautiful and her demeanor was gentle and generous. At that moment, someone asked curiously, "Who is that lady? "What a great appearance."

Someone joyfully answered, "Who else could it be other than Young Master Chen's childhood sweetheart, the young miss of the Sheng Jing Qi Kingdom!"

Listening to these whispers, Yang Qi Yu's heart was pierced. This was what she hated the most. No matter what, Gu Jinzhu was the eldest daughter of the House of the Marquis of Qi. She came from a respectable family, so naturally, it was impossible for her to be part of the family of a merchant.

She bit her lips tightly as waves of jealousy and hatred surged in her heart. The perfect demeanor that she painstakingly maintained just now could no longer be suppressed. She suddenly turned around and saw that Gu Jinzhu had already walked to the end of the corridor.

Jin Zhu turned around and asked with an indifferent expression, "Cousin, what else do you want?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Yang Qi's lips, it was both sweet and charming, "Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that Chen Lang is resting at Xi Wu Yuan by the time the Chen family's elders arrive. Old Madam Chen dotes on you so much in the past, aren't you going to pay a visit to her first? "
