The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor

Mistress Yao's eyes flashed and she whispered, "Elder Zhao said that Jin'er's face is made up of a pollen called the Flowing Stream Flower. The pollen is very irritating to the skin and makes people itch. That's why Jin'er scratched her face."

Gu Qingyuan suddenly raised his head, his face was filled with rage, "Where did that pollen come from?"

Lady Yao sighed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Jin'er used a box of rouge, and that box of rouge was given to Zhu Er by Tong'er earlier. Somehow, it ended up in Third Girl's hands."

"Old master, that box of rouge was bestowed by esteemed wangfei in the palace, so even Tong`er couldn't bear to use it. She only sent it to Gu Qingyuan because her big sister had just returned!" How could something go wrong with the palace? Moreover, Elder Zhao said that only the south has the Flowing Stream Flower, but we don't know where we get it from. "

Lady Yao's meaning was very clear. Gu Bitong also cried on the side. "I've used that box of rouge for a long time and never had any problems giving it to my big sister. I never thought that something like this would happen to my third sister." "

Before she could finish her words, the Jiang Clan raised their head, and said with a face full of hatred and gnashing of teeth, "Old Master, isn't this matter clear? How could the Second Miss harm her third sister? It must be the big miss, she hated Jin'er for knocking against her so many times, that's why she did it! "

She threw herself into Gu Qingyuan's arms and cried, "Master, you have to seek justice for Jin`er. You have to pity my good daughter, you have to suffer this kind of torture! "The young miss is too vicious. This is her own little sister, how could she have done that?"

She cried her heart out. Gu Qingyuan's expression was dark and indecisive, clearly not completely believing what Lady Yao said.

Gu Jinzhu had just returned to the clan, and she was only a thirteen year old girl. He didn't believe that she would be so vicious.

However, what Lady Yao and Gu Bi Tong said was true. Once again, he was frustrated by Madame Jiang's crying. He couldn't help but push her aside and stand up. "You guys watch first. I'll go out for a walk."

He flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked out of the Cloud Stepping Pavilion.

"Don't cry anymore. Jin'er is fine now. Elder Zhao said that as long as she doesn't scratch her face anymore, these wounds will heal very soon. There is still a bottle of scarred cream given by the palace in Tong'er, Jin'er's face will be fine."

Gu Beitang also advised, "Aunt, I've already ordered the girl to go get the medicine. That medicine is the most effective for scarring, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you Madam and Eldest Miss. If nothing happens to Jin'er this time, I will definitely work hard for you to repay your kindness."

Mrs Yao helped her up and said gently, "We are all family, what's the point of saying such unorthodox words? "I've always treated her like my own daughter, and yet I pitied her for such a young age, for such a terrible thing to happen to her."

"It's all because of that slut. I definitely won't forgive her this time!"

A trace of a smile flashed in Lady Yao's eyes, but she pretended to be worried. "Rest assured, the old master will definitely decide for Jin'er. If that girl really did do it, I won't forgive her!"

Within the Jade Bamboo Garden.

After Gu Jinzhu had washed up, she was ready to go to bed. Qi Qiao hurriedly came in and said, "Miss, the old master is coming over."

Yun Xiang and Su Ju were both stunned. It was already so late, what was the Imperial Duke doing here?

Gu Jinzhu was stunned for a moment before she quickly came back to her senses. She said to Yun Xiang, "Help me change."

Yun Xiang hurriedly brought the outer garment over, and the two of them put on Gu Jinzhu's hair and changed her clothes.

Gu Qingyuan stood in the yard, watching the lights in the room and thinking.

Gu Jinzhu came out of the house, fully dressed. She quickly walked over and bowed to Gu Qingyuan, "Greetings, father."

Gu Qingyuan helped his daughter up, and a little light shone on her face. Her skin seemed to be covered with a layer of honey, making her look even more beautiful than before.

Gu Qingyuan's anger miraculously disappeared from the bottom of his heart. Looking at his pretty daughter, he couldn't find the words to question her.

Moreover, he had already thought about it clearly.

His third daughter's face had already been scratched, he couldn't tell if she could recover or not. Even if she could recover, so what? Even if she was perfectly fine, she couldn't compare to his eldest daughter at all.

Since the matter was irreparable, there was no point in pursuing the drug anymore. Even if it was really the work of the eldest daughter, what could he really do to her?

With Pearl's appearance, he was afraid that he would have to rely on her in the future. Why would he need to clarify the matter so much that his eldest daughter wouldn't bother with him?

His thoughts quickly cleared up, and a gentle and loving expression appeared on his face as he said, "Daddy passed by and came to see you. How is it here? Are you used to where your mother arranged?"

Although Gu Jinzhu was a little surprised, she still said softly, "Thank you, father, for worrying. The place that mother arranged is very good, but …"

Gu Qingyuan wanted to ask something, but Yun Xiang suddenly summoned up her courage and said, "Master, this place is good, but it's really too hot. Furthermore, it's too close to the lake, and there's a lot of mosquitoes in the evening. Could you ask the madam to bring some ice pots over for our Miss? Miss won't be able to rest well due to the heat every night."

Gu Qingyuan was surprised, "What? Didn't your mother send you an ice bucket?"

Gu Jinzhu smiled slightly, then lowered her head and said softly, "There are too many chores in the clan. Mother might have forgotten them all at the moment."

Gu Qingyuan didn't usually return to the inner courtyard, so even if she wanted to see him, she didn't have the chance. With great difficulty, her father took the initiative to come here once, so Gu Jinzhu didn't plan on being a gentle and obedient daughter.

Since Lady Yao dared to openly attack her, she must find a backer for herself as soon as possible. Although Gu Qingyuan rarely entered the inner courtyard, she must let him know how harsh Lady Yao was.

Gu Qingyuan frowned. He looked unhappy and coughed lightly, "Maybe your mother forgot. I will remind her to bring the ice basin over tomorrow. What do you need? I told her. "

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is something else that your daughter shouldn't be making a fuss about. Your daughter doesn't know much about the monthly affairs of the estate, but your daughter only knows a little about the maidservants by her side, and the other third class girls only have a few sons and daughters. Your daughter heard that your second younger sister's daughter is worth one or two a month to the esteemed wangfei, so your daughter doesn't dare to compete with her.

Gu Qingyuan was truly angered this time. For noble and noble families like theirs, the maidservants had always been rich. Sometimes, they would even go out with a few coins as a reward.

Although the Gu Residence was in decline, it still held the title of the House of the Duke of Qi. If people found out that the maidservant next to the young miss was only worth a single yuan a month, it would be hilarious.
