”What …” This... ”This …” Lady Wang was flabbergasted and speechless. Her heart was flustered and confused. She only had this one precious daughter of hers, and she finally managed to get to know a good family. If the Chen family broke off the engagement, her daughter's reputation would be ruined.

However, thinking of what the little girl had just said, she dared not rashly make her move again. With a bitter face, she wanted to say something, but Lady Chen stood up and said, ”My Matriarch has suffered a shock. She's returning home now. Madam, please take care of her family matters as soon as possible!”

After saying so, he didn't even spare a glance at Lady Wang. He directed the maidservants to pick up Matriarch Chen and walk out. Lady Wang followed behind with a bitter face, continuously praising the others. The other madams couldn't stay any longer either. They all got up to bid their farewells.

In an instant, everyone left the hall. Lady Wang looked at Gu Jinzhu, who was still being held by her wife, with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

She was clearly a slut, yet at such a young age, she could be so vicious. Having disturbed her daughter's marriage, she felt like chewing on it. She didn't expect her life to be so good, to have a great backer at such a crucial time!

She struggled continuously in her heart. After a long while, she suppressed the hatred in her eyes and put on a loving smile. She walked over and shouted at the old woman holding Gu Jinzhu, ”Who gave you the guts to use your dirty claws to touch a young lady's face? Hurry up and let go of me! ”

The wives on both sides were shocked. They didn't know what their wives were up to. They looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, they were scolded by Lady Wang.

The wives quickly retreated. Gu Jinzhu grasped her wrist, which was hurting, but she was still somewhat bewildered in her heart. She didn't know what sort of trick Lady Wang was playing.

Shouldn't she be getting someone to lock her up in the woodshed?

Lady Wang's face was full of smiles. Even though her smile was so fake that it made people feel nauseous, she held her hand and sighed, ”Zhu Er, don't blame me for this. With so many wives just now, how can I explain this to the public if I didn't put on an act? ”Speaking of which, you are really stubborn. You made the Chen family …”

Gu Jinzhu's expression immediately darkened. She lowered her eyelashes with a cold expression.

Lady Wang looked at her expression and suddenly stopped. A trace of a smile appeared on her face. ”Speaking of which, today is a happy occasion. Your father in Shengjing sent someone to pick you up. It wasn't easy. When you were six years old and came here, there was no news from the capital at all. I didn't expect that the sun would rise from the west today …”

The more née Wang spoke, the more sour her words couldn't help but feel. Gu Jinzhu suddenly raised her head and looked at her in disbelief, ”What did you say?”

”Pearl, you don't know yet, do you? Someone from the Duke of Guo's estate arrived. Your uncle is currently accompanying you in the main hall, talking … ”

After née Wang said something, Gu Jinzhu's head buzzed, but she couldn't hear anything clearly. Her heart began to beat rapidly.

However, Bi Xi heard it clearly and jumped out. She asked in surprise, ”Madam, do you mean that Master has sent someone to pick up the Miss?”

Lady Wang secretly rolled her eyes and snappily said, ”That's right, the old master just sent a message, asking your Miss to hurry over.”

Bi Meng didn't notice Lady Wang's actions at all. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears. She grabbed onto Gu Jinzhu's hand and sobbed, ”Miss, Miss, did you hear that? The old master came to pick you up. He didn't forget you, so you're going back to the capital to be the young lady of the Duke's estate … ”

Lady Wang, who was standing behind her, could not help but grind her teeth in jealousy. She smiled and said, ”That's right, Zhu Er, hurry up and pack up. Your esteemed guest is still waiting …”

In contrast to her excitement, Gu Jinzhu had a strange, almost numbing calmness.
