The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor

Gu Jinzhu smiled slightly and said, "Aunt's house has a silk manor, which is hard to come by with other people, but she doesn't lack a family."

"I've long heard that Sis' family is the wealthiest in Linan City. This time, we've really gained a lot from following Zhu'er around." Madame Li waved her fan with a face full of smiles, but her eyes were focused on Lady Yao.

Mrs Yao's face indeed became very unsightly, especially when she heard the words' Sister-in-law ', her eyes flashed a dark look. Next to her, Mrs Jiang immediately said, "So what if the material is good? From the style of Zhu'er's dress, it looks like it was from last year.

Logically speaking, she was only a concubine, so how could she have the right to criticize and criticize the young miss of the main branch. However, she had been by Lady Yao's side for a long time, so she didn't put this nominal young miss in her eyes long ago.

Everyone no longer spoke, their eyes clearly showing that they were watching a good show. Lady Yao let out a long sigh.

Gu Jinzhu lowered her eyelashes, covering the dark expression in her eyes. Only Gu Beijin was looking over with a very complacent look, as if she was rejoicing in her misfortune.

The house was quiet. Outside, the sun was rising and shining through the green jasper windows.

Lady Zhen acted as if she didn't notice the movements in the room. She leisurely drank her tea, put down her cup and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Then, she turned to Lady Yao and said, "How many days have you had today? "Is it time for me to come back from the palace?"

"Thank you for mother's concern," she said with a smile. "Tong`er has been at the palace for five days already. Logically speaking, she should be back by now, but esteemed wangfei likes it and insisted on staying for two more days."

Lady Zhen nodded her head and said, "Tong'er has a sweet mouth and is used to the Empress's love. It would be good to stay at the palace for a few more days, but I haven't been able to see her these few days. It's as if my heart is missing something."

Madame Jiang smiled as she held the handkerchief. "Who doesn't know that the madame is in love with Miss Tong? It's only been a few days since I last saw her, and she's already worried about me."

Lady Yao stood up and smiled, "I guess it will only be two days. When Tong'er comes back, I will immediately bring her over to pay respects to mother."

Madam Zhen waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'm also tired. You can all go now."

Everyone saluted and quickly left.

"Originally, you just came back, so you should pay your respects to your father first. However, for the past two days, the Duke has been busy with official affairs and has not returned to his residence for quite a few days. Just wait a few more days, until your father is free and your second sister and a few younger brothers who have gone to school also return, then we can meet again."

Gu Jinzhu bent her knees and lowered her head, "I will do as mother commands."

Lady Yao nodded and continued, "I've picked a few people to order and sent them to your courtyard. If they don't suit you, I'll bring them back to your residence when the time comes."

Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, "Thank you, mother."

Lady Yao gave her another deep look before leaving with the group of maidservants.

As soon as Gu Jinzhu stood up, her hand was grabbed by a cold and soft hand. She turned around, and Gu Yulong was smiling up at her with her head tilted, softly saying, "Big sister, didn't you want to give me a present? Can I come with you? "

The child's eyes were clear and black, just like a clear stream under the sunlight. Gu Jinzhu's mood immediately improved a lot. She bent down and pinched her round, white face, smiling, "Of course you can."

She straightened up, only to see that Gu Zhiyue was quietly watching her from not too far away. She had a very good impression of this gentle and quiet Fourth Sister, so she beckoned her over, "Fourth Sister, come over as well."

Gu Zhiyue's eyes lit up as she blessed her. "Then I'll have to thank Eldest Sis."

Madame Zhao smiled and exhorted them, while Madame Li also led her people away. Just as Gu Jinzhu was about to bring her two younger sisters back, she heard an extremely rude voice from behind her, "Hello!"

She turned her head slightly and saw Gu Bijin standing not far away, glaring at her with a trace of anger on her face.

Gu Jinzhu had a calm expression as she asked, "Is something the matter, third sister?"

Gu Bi Jin hesitated, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "Didn't you want to give me a present? I have nothing else to do, so I'll go with you to take a look. "

In her heart, she was rather angry that Gu Jinzhu didn't know what was good for her and didn't even open her mouth to invite her. However, her heart was itchy for the things she brought back, so she could only open her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinzhu didn't open her mouth to invite her as soon as she heard that. Instead, she looked over with a smile that was not a smile and a ridiculing look in her eyes.

Being stared at, Gu Bi Jin became angry from embarrassment. She could not help but say angrily, "What are you looking at? Why aren't you leaving!"

Gu Jinzhu retracted her smile, and with a cold expression, she said lightly, "I don't dare to trouble third sister. The things I brought back were inconspicuous, so I assume that even little sister doesn't fancy them, so let's just forget about it."

With that, he didn't care about Gu Bijin's expression as he pulled Gu Yulong and Gu Zhiyue away, walking in the direction of the Jade Bamboo Garden.

Gu Bijin was tongue-tied, and her face turned red and white. She never thought that this big sister, whose status and reputation was even worse than that of a Shu girl, would dare to show her face in front of everyone.

She was stunned for a moment until she saw them leave the yard.

Gu Jinzhu held Gu Yurong's hand. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, and the clear laughter seemed to mock her. She was both embarrassed and angry at the same time, and started crying out loud.

The Jiang family was also dumbstruck at the side. They didn't expect this young miss to be so unyielding. She dared to act like this right after returning to the clan. Seeing her precious daughter crying so loudly, they felt their hearts ache and were angry at the same time.

The maidservants hurriedly rushed over to wipe the tears away for Gu Bijin to coax her. The Jiang family fiercely cursed, "What the hell are you doing? Why don't you look in a mirror? Do you really think you're some kind of thing?!"

He bent down to wipe his daughter's tears and said softly, "Jin'er, don't cry anymore. Did your sister ask for anything when she came back? Let's go back first, who cares about her! "

"Mother, beat her to death. I hate her so much that I want to drive her out of the manor …" Gu Bijin stomped her feet as she cried and made a ruckus. The Jiang family tried to persuade her again and again, but they were afraid of disturbing the old lady, so they dragged her away.

Gu Jinzhu brought her two younger sisters back to the Jade Bamboo Garden and ordered her to bring out some gadgets and jewelry she had bought earlier.

Every single piece of jewelry was meticulously chosen by Gu Jinzhu. Although it wasn't too expensive, it was still more exquisite. Gu Yurong and Gu Zhiyue were unable to contain their joy.
