As she was thinking, Yun Xiang also leaned over and said softly, ”Miss, this Lord Third has a rare good character. Miss, this Lord Third has a rare good character, not to mention taking care of you these days, he's also very kind to me and Bi'er.

Before she finished speaking, Gu Jinzhu had already understood her meaning and couldn't help but sigh.

Since she was young, and was a few years older than her, she had naturally wholeheartedly planned for her. Ever since she heard those words, she had probably been worried about her return home, which was why she wanted to build a good relationship with this Third Uncle.

As long as her grandmother was present, she was afraid that her little uncle wouldn't be able to stand up for her. Even if he had some status now, he was probably still fighting for himself outside. How could he possibly protect her?

The barbecue made by Gu Yiqing was delicious as expected. The three of them only ate the food until their mouths were still fragrant. Since Gu Jinlong had just recovered from her illness, they couldn't eat too much oily food. They could only eat two wings.

After the meal, Gu Yiqing helped her to fry the medicine again. Looking at the dark medicinal juice, Gu Jinzhu drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation. Although her face was wrinkled from the pain, she didn't complain at all.

In the past few days, she had been drinking medicine so straightforwardly and without any sense of delicacy, which made Gu Yiqing look at her in a different light. It was rare for her to see such a strong young lady.

This girl had a cold personality and usually spoke very little. No matter how urgent his journey was, or how bumpy his day had been, she had never complained. She was not picky with food and was much less troublesome than he had expected.

He didn't know that Gu Jinzhu's guilt had dragged him down, so he endured all the way. However, she had suffered a lot after all. Lady Jiao, who never left her home, had been sitting in the car for a whole day.

It was fine, but the main problem was that people were always in a hurry. Every time she got out of the car, she felt like her face was burning, and every time, she would run away from Yun Xiang and Bi Rui. The little girl was shameless, and felt that this was the most embarrassing thing in her life.

In the afternoon, when they were on the road, she leaned on the windowsill and looked outside.

A gentle breeze caressed the hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of clear eyes filled with curiosity. Outside, the mountains were moving up and down, and the vast green wilderness seemed to have broadened the hearts of those who looked at it.

Although these days were hard to bear, the feeling was also fresh. The sky was wide, and people were as free as birds out of their cages, far away from the bustling city, even the Yang Mansion's scheme seemed insignificant.

The further south they went, the more remote the road became. Often, no one could be seen for the better part of the day. Even staying overnight in the wilderness was something she was gradually getting used to.

The night sky was filled with glittering stars. A light breeze blew across the wilderness, and the sound of insects broke the silence. Gu Jinzhu and the two girls surrounded Gu Yingqing as they watched him roast the rabbit.

Along the way, the guard called Xue Yi was quiet, but he really was a martial arts expert. Gu Jinzhu had seen him fight more than once. Other than reprimanding Chen Yunze, he hunted down all the food on the way.

Therefore, rabbits, birds, fish, and some unknown animals had all been eaten by them, which made her more curious. How could Gu Yiqing have such subordinates? Not to mention those guards hired by the Yang Mansion at such a high price, even the guards of the Sheng Jing Residence could not compare to them.

Gu Yiqing noticed her curiosity and passed the rabbit in her hand over. She smiled and said, ”You want to try?”

The beautiful pearl gawked for a moment, but in its heart, it was eager to give it a try. It reached out and took it, imitating his actions of roasting it over the fire.

Gu Yiqing stood to the side, giving some pointers and sprinkling seasonings on the meat. Not long later, the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air.

Biden and Yun Xiang went to the stream to get some water, boiled some wild vegetables, drank the light wild vegetables soup, ate the roast meat, and casually sat on the ground. Gu Jinzhu, however, felt more at ease than she had ever felt before.

Being bound by all sorts of etiquette since she was young, it was very difficult for her to experience something like this, so she felt that everything was new.
