C66 Incident

With her teeth itching in anger, Lady Yao could not sit still any longer and could only personally make a trip to the Jade Bamboo Garden.

Gu Jinzhu was sitting in the corridor, drawing tricks with the two girls when she heard someone call out from outside, "Eldest Miss, the Madam is here."

Gu Jinzhu was startled. Since her return, when had Lady Yao ever personally come to the Jade Bamboo Garden? She hurried out with the sweet scent of chamomile.

A large group of maidservants followed behind Lady Yao with their legs moving in the wind. When they saw her, they smiled benevolently and said, "Zhu Er, why did you come out? The sun is so high outside, quickly go in."

Gu Jinzhu smiled and said, "My daughter only came out to welcome you when she heard mother coming over. It's so hot, so why did you come over personally?"

As she spoke, she supported Yao Yao by her arm. She smiled and said, "I just came out from the old lady's place and was just about to walk over here when I wanted to see you …"

As the two of them entered the room, Lady Yao looked around and smiled. "Since you moved here, mother has been too busy to spare the time. She hasn't come to take a look. How is it? Are you used to living here?"

Hearing this hypocritical statement, Gu Jinzhu's expression didn't change. With a gentle smile, she said, "Fortunately, it's right next to the lake, so it's not that hot."

There were no ice basins, but the windows were open and the wind blew through the gauze, dispersing the heat in the room.

Lady Yao didn't answer and only smiled. "That's good."

Using the light from outside, she carefully examined Gu Jinzhu's face. No matter how she looked at it, her skin was white and tender to the extreme, without the slightest hint of illness.

She gritted her teeth and swept her gaze across the dressing table without batting an eyelid. She was shocked, "Zhu'er, your sister. Didn't I give you some rouge balm from the palace? Why didn't I see you use it? "

Her expression was somewhat urgent as she looked at Gu Jinzhu doubtfully at her. She quickly suppressed the anxiety in her heart and concealed a smile. "I only saw that your skin color was so good. I was thinking of using that palace recipe and also thinking of asking esteemed wangfei for some help."

Gu Jinzhu smiled apologetically, "About that, the gifts my sister sent are naturally excellent, but my third sister came over to be a guest. She really loves those rouge, just like how I asked for it."

"What?" Lady Yao's vision went dark and she stood up in shock. Her face changed color as she said, "You're saying that those things were taken by Third Miss?"

Gu Jinzhu nodded.

Lady Yao nearly vomited a mouthful of blood. In her rage, she couldn't even speak properly. She pointed at Gu Jinzhu and trembled, "You …" How can you give her these things? "She …"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Gu Jinzhu and the two girls behind her stare at her with puzzled expressions. She immediately reacted and suppressed the anger in her heart as she forcefully smiled and said, "I mean that good stuff. The third girl is still young, so give it to her. "What a pity."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jin Wu hurried in, looking flustered. "Madame, Madame, something has happened to Third Miss!"

Mrs Yao said angrily, "What can happen? What are you looking like, flustered! "

"Yes, Madame," he said frantically. But Third Young Miss, the situation isn't good. I heard there was a rash on her face that itched so much she used her hands to scratch it. Her face was already covered in blood. Madame Jiang was so anxious that she was about to faint!

"What?" Lady Yao was so shocked that her entire face changed. She hastily walked outside and even forgot to inform Gu Jinzhu.

As they walked, they asked anxiously, "Have you called a doctor?"

"Aunt Jiang has already sent someone to invite the most famous doctor of the Ju'an Hall, Doctor Zhao, but Third Miss is now in a state of turmoil. No one can stop her."

With Yao's hurried steps, the maidservants behind him hurriedly followed. In just a few moments, the entire group of people had disappeared without a trace.

Yun Xiang touched her chest and said in surprise, "Heavens! What's going on? Why is Third Miss so well and sick?"

Su Ju also felt that it was inconceivable and the two girls started discussing in whispers.

Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything. She instinctively felt that Lady Yao's expression wasn't right just now. She came because she was concerned that she didn't use that rouge?

Recalling the shock on Mrs. Yao's face when she heard that something had happened to Gu Bijin's face, a sliver of doubt gradually surfaced in her heart. She stood up and said, "I'm going to look for my third sister as well. Yunxiang and I will follow me. Susu, you take care of the house."

She hurriedly walked out of the Jade Bamboo Garden with Yun Xiang hurriedly following behind her, afraid that something would happen to her. She even called for the willow tree.

Gu Bijin lived in Cloudburst Pavilion, which was very close to Yao Family's main courtyard. When Gu Jinzhu and the two girls arrived, it was already a mess.

The maidservants stood guard outside the room, while Gu Bijin's shrill scream came from inside the room, "I can't take it, my face hurts, my face hurts, Mother —"

Auntie Jiang's wail rang out, followed by the sound of something banging against the wall. The maidservants outside were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment before she decisively opened the curtain and entered the room. Right now was a chaotic time, so no one dared to stop her.

There were a lot of people in the house, including the Yao Family, the Jiang Family, and even Gu Beitong. The ground was a mess. There were chairs, vases, and all sorts of decorations on the floor.

A few women were pressing down hard on a figure. When Gu Jinzhu saw the person in their hands clearly, she was suddenly startled.

If she hadn't seen him with her own eyes, she wouldn't have dared to recognize that person as the arrogant and despotic Gu Bijin.

Her hair was in disarray, and she seemed to be in a crazed state. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and even a few of her wives couldn't hold her down.

She struggled and screamed with all her might. It was as mournful as the howls of ghosts. Through the messy hair, Gu Jinzhu saw her bloody face and was frightened to the point that she took a step back.

She screamed and tried to grab at her face with all her might. Aunt Jiang was already crying until she passed out again, Gu Beitong was standing on the side, her beautiful face was pale, and Lady Yao was shrieking, "Quickly tie her up! Tie her to the bedpost! "

After receiving the order, those few old women forcefully turned Gu Bijin over and tied her to the end of the bed with their belts, regardless of how hard she struggled.

Gu Bijin shouted and twisted with all of her strength, but she could not break free. She cursed incessantly as the muscles on her face contorted. Along with the bloody marks, she looked extremely terrifying.

Gu Jinzhu was frightened out of her wits. Luckily, someone outside shouted in time, "Doctor Zhao is here, move aside!"

An old doctor walked in with a medicine box on his back. He looked at Gu Bijin with a shocked expression.

Yao Yuan replied anxiously, "Doctor, look at my daughter. What's wrong?"

Before she could finish, Aunt Jiang woke up. As soon as she saw the doctor, she rushed over and knocked over Lady Yao, causing her to stagger.

"Doctor, I beg of you to save my daughter. She's only twelve years old, but she's a girl. How can she live when her face is ruined?" The Jiang Clan could only kneel on the ground with a thump as they cried their hearts out.

Lady Yao took a step back. With the support of Gu Beitang, she steadied herself. Her face immediately turned extremely unsightly to behold.

But Aunt Jiang couldn't care less about her expression anymore and kept on kowtowing.

Lady Yao shot a look at Madame Jiang's daughter, who hurried forward to help her up. "Esteemed wangfei, you stand over here first. If you block her now, how will the doctor treat Third Young Miss's illness?"

Aunt Jiang reacted and quickly moved to the side.
