C19 (2/2)

She relaxed a little, and decided to just lean against the window and watch. However, her gaze fell most of the time, and that was still the third uncle who was excessively good-looking.

This feeling was unfamiliar to her. She had never been far away from home, let alone being with a stranger. Therefore, she felt nervous, but for some reason, when she looked at the straight figure in front of her, she felt at ease.

Perhaps it was simply because he was the only person in the Gu Estate who didn't leave a bad impression on her.

After walking for less than an hour, a large house appeared in the distance. Two red lanterns were hung in front of the house, swaying in the wind.

Before they could get close, the nearby corner door opened and a servant boy jumped out. When he saw Gu Yiqing coming over with a big smile on his face, he said in a friendly tone, ”Master San, you've finally come. This little one has waited for too long …”

”I was delayed on the way.” Gu Yiqing seemed to be relieved as well. She jumped off the horse and threw the reins over.

The servant immediately called a few men and led the horses into the backyard. Then, he carefully drove the carriage into the yard.

Without waiting for the car to stop, Bi Yao impatiently jumped down. She looked around first, then turned around and lifted the curtain, reaching out to help Gu Jinzhu get out of the car.

Since the sky was already dark, Yun Xiang didn't place any cages on the pearls. She helped Bi Yao's underlings out of the car, and saw a young servant staring blankly at her.

She glared at him and said angrily, ”What are you looking at? And look at that dug out your eyeballs! ”

The manservant shrank his neck and muttered, ”Haven't I seen such an immortal girl before?” He lowered his voice and giggled at Gu Yiqing, ”Master San, where did you find such a fierce girl …”

Bea immediately raised her eyebrows and glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes. Luckily, Yun Xiang pulled her back in time.

Gu Yiqing glanced at the servant and said lightly, ”Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare two of the best rooms!” He took a step forward and blocked Gu Jinzhu's path.

”Ugh …” It's already been prepared. Please come in. ” The boy saw that the opportunity was fast, so he didn't dare to look around and went forward to lead the way.

Gu Jinzhu looked at the handsome figure in front of her and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Ever since she was a child, she had been taught extremely strict by her grandmother. Her every move followed the example of an aristocratic family's daughter, and she always wore fences on her way in and out, preventing strangers from seeing her face.

Being stared at by this young servant like that just now had indeed made her somewhat helpless. She didn't expect her Third Uncle to be so meticulous and calm, but he had already resolved her predicament.

The attendant brought them to the room upstairs. Although it was called the ”best room”, the furnishings inside were simple and crude. It was probably because of the cloudy weather, the bed and bedsheets had a cold and humid atmosphere.

Bea, still angry over what had just happened, could not help but pick out the four items in the room. Gu Jinzhu sat in the carriage for a day, leaning against the couch as she gently massaged her shoulder bones.

Gu Jinzhu felt her heart ache as she said, ”You two should also rest for a while. You've been on the train for the entire day.”

”Your servant is not tired. Your servant's body is much stronger than a girl's.”
