She purposely revealed half of her red and swollen face as she cried miserably, making a scene out of her crying and scolding Su Ju.

Gu Jinzhu was so angry that she started laughing. What a good girl! Not only did she know how to tell the truth, she even knew how to act! If she didn't know what had happened, she really would have been tricked.

She stood there quietly with a cold glint in her eyes. She waited until she had cried enough before slowly saying, "You are a good seed for acting, since you don't want to be in my yard so much, then I might as well report back to my mother and send you to Pear Garden. Wouldn't it be as you wish for me to become a professional actor in the future?"

"Uh — ah?"

The magpie was in the middle of wailing and complaining, but when he suddenly heard Gu Jinzhu's words, he was stunned for a moment before reacting. He was suddenly scared out of his mind.

In a flash, the magpie regretted so much that his intestines almost turned green. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Eldest Miss, your servant was wrong. Your servant was possessed by a ghost just now, so I said something worse than pigs and dogs. Serving Eldest Miss is your servant's lifetime of good fortune. Your servant absolutely doesn't dare to have any second thoughts. Eldest Miss, please forgive me this time."

This time, she was truly afraid that Gu Jinzhu would sell her out. Her head was banging against the ground and tears were streaming down her face.

Gu Jinzhu didn't even look at her, but quickly walked over to Su Ju and asked, "How are you? Is the wound still painful? "

Su Ju shook her head. Her face was still pale, but she forced a smile and said, "Miss, don't worry. Your servant is fine."

Gu Jinzhu and Yun Xiang helped her into the room, ignoring the Magpie who was kneeling down and beating his chest as he cried.

After applying the medicine on the woman again, Gu Jinzhu felt her heart ache as she looked at her still red skin.

However, Su Ju giggled as she comforted her, "Miss, it's alright. It doesn't hurt at all. Your servant is still well. It won't be long before I recover."

Gu Jinzhu remained silent.

The crying of the magpie could be heard from outside the room. Wifey Wang poked her head out the door. It seemed like she wanted to come in and confess, but didn't dare to.

Gu Jinzhu's eyes were gloomy and her heart was heavy.

If the monthly allowance continued like this, her days would only become more and more miserable.

She had already been thinking of a way out, but there was nothing she could do at the moment.

It was only because Lady Yao knew that she had no backing that she dared to treat her so harshly.

On the other hand, Yun Xiang and Su Ju were fine, even if she was not going to leave them, there were other people in the Green Bamboo Garden, other than the magpie and Qi Cui, Yang Liu and Xiao Cui also worked hard, but as their masters, they couldn't afford to not protect their own girl.

She felt a little defeated in her heart. These days, her patience had been exchanged for Lady Yao's sudden change in attitude.

It was a scorching summer day and she didn't even have an ice bowl for the summer. It was so hot that she couldn't sleep every night, and thanks to Yun Xiang and Su Ju, who fanned her in turn, she couldn't rest well and the two girls were half dead from exhaustion.

It was impossible to expect Lady Yao to give her more money, so she could only think of her own way.

Right now, her top priority was to find a way to earn a living. Even if she didn't rely on the Gu Estate one day, she had the ability to settle down and settle down.

She had thought of setting up a shop, but as a young lady, she couldn't even get out of the door. She didn't even have her own people, so how could she get out?

She thought over and over again, then decided to just leave the courtyard and slowly walk along the Gu Estate's back garden.

There was a lake behind the Jade Bamboo Garden and a pavilion at the center of the lake. The surroundings were filled with lotus flowers. When the wind blew, the jade lotus swayed in the breeze, causing it to look extremely beautiful.

Although this place was remote and had a beautiful scenery, there were very few people who came. Gu Jinzhu often took walks here. As Yun Xiang followed behind her, she knew that her young miss was thinking about something, so she didn't dare disturb her.

She slowly moved forward along the pavilion, passing through a gate of the moon. Unknowingly, she had traveled a little further.

Until a wall of Deva powder appeared in front of him. A few oleanders stuck their heads out of the wall and dropped a tree of tender pink flowers.

"Huh?" Yun Xiang exclaimed. "Miss, what is this place? It's a nice scenery, why haven't I noticed it before?"

Gu Jinzhu also felt that it was a bit strange. This place was already the most remote place in the Gu Estate. She hadn't thought that there would be such a courtyard.

She took a few steps forward and could see that the courtyard was not large, but it was very clean and tidy. There was a stone courtyard in the courtyard, and on the board, the three words' Jing Xuan Residence 'were faintly written.

Just as she was looking curiously, a servant dressed in green came out from the corner of the courtyard. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment before he went up and said respectfully, "Miss, please halt. This is the Gu Estate's forbidden courtyard.

Gu Jinzhu was startled. She had never heard of any forbidden grounds in the Gu Estate, but when she turned around to look, she realized that they were already quite far away from her residence. They had probably already left the inner courtyard.

As she walked back to the pavilion, she heard faint sounds of laughter coming from the courtyard. She walked over and heard Gu Bijin's voice from behind the flowers, "Second sister, why did you go to Jing Xuan Residence? Third uncle hasn't come back yet."

When the word "Third Uncle" floated over, Gu Jinzhu unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

He heard Gu Bi Tong's embarrassed voice, "Where did I go to the Jing Xuan Residence? I just casually strolled around. Besides, what does it have to do with me if that person doesn't come back?"

I didn't say anything, but I don't know when Third Uncle will be back. He's really good-looking, even more so than all the men outside. The last time I went to Miss Zhou's house, there were quite a few young ladies who secretly asked me about him.

Gu Beitong scoffed, "What kind of Third Uncle is he?" If you shout so affectionately, be careful that your mother hears you angry! What's more, even if he looked good, what was the point? Did a man rely on his looks to survive? "If I don't think of a way to gain even the slightest bit of official position, I will only curry favor with that 'Sharp King', blaming my mother and grandmother for looking down on him …"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Bi Jin laughed. "Of course he can't compare with His Royal Highness. His highness has a high status, and he's also extremely obedient to his elder sister. This little sister will pay respects to the future imperial concubine!"

"You little hoof, you only know how to talk nonsense, see if I don't pinch your mouth." The two sisters burst into laughter.

Hearing them slander Gu Yiqing behind her back, Gu Jinzhu had an inexplicable feeling of discomfort. Just as she was about to walk to the other side with Yun Xiang, she heard Gu Bi Tong cry out, "Third sister, what's wrong with your face? How could there be such a big red patch? "

"I don't know what's going on, but pollen is allergic to it. My face is always itching, and when I scratch it, it turns red."

Gu Beitong said with concern, "Then you have to find a doctor to have a good look. Girls' faces are no small matter."

"My mother called a doctor a long time ago and just said it's fine. She said that if there are too many flowers planted in the house, it might be one of the allergies. She's been like this in the past, but after a few days it'll be fine."

He couldn't help but mutter, "Why are there so many flowers growing in the mansion? It's really good to look at, but it's a bit too troublesome."
