As she was eating, Senior Servant Ping, hearing the little girl's words, suddenly looked startled. ”She really said that?”

”Yes, that Old Lady Wang from the kitchen really replied truthfully. That young miss said that if the kitchen still dared to use this kind of food to fool people, she would spread the news and say …” ”I said that the master had treated his daughter badly …”

Senior Servant Ping's expression became serious. She waved her hand to get the little girl off before turning around to enter her room.

She explained the situation in detail to Lady Yao, sighed and said, ”Looks like we misjudged her. That little girl isn't as easy to reconcile as she seems to be on the surface. Madam, we have to slowly handle this matter.

Mrs Yao pulled the handkerchief in her hand, her face turning green from hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, ”A fox-like movie like her mother's. Such a young girl, where did she get such sharp eyes? I don't believe she would dare to spread it! If she dares to do this right after returning, then what will she do when she stands firmly in the future? ”

”No, we can't let it go like this,” she jumped down to the ground and spun around twice. ”We can't let this girl step on our heads as soon as she returns …”

”But …” Senior Servant Ping still wanted to persuade her again, but Lady Yao waved her hand with a sneer on her face, ”There's no 'but'. We have to let this girl know who's in charge of this mansion!”

After watching Gu Jinzhu eat, after washing her face and rinsing her mouth a little, she lay down.

This was her first day back at home, but she did not have a single trace of belonging. It was as if she had arrived at a foreign place, and her surroundings were filled with an unfamiliar atmosphere that made people restless.

At night, Yun Xiang was on guard duty. She was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she closed all the windows before lying down on the bed. Listening to her tossing and turning about, she couldn't help but whisper, ”Miss, can't you sleep?”

Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything. Through the faint green curtain, she saw her sit up.

Yun Xiang also sat up, thinking that she was still angry about the dinner and couldn't help but advise, ”Miss, let's sleep first. This servant will watch today. It might be a good thing. ”

She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, ”And it's still the Countess. I didn't expect her to be so petty.”

Gu Jinzhu burst out laughing. She had thought this through thoroughly, so it was no wonder that she was able to see through this.

Yao Yao's demeanor was indeed too petty. She couldn't even wait a day. The moment she returned, she was placed on the spot and completely disregarded her pride.

However, it was no wonder. She was originally a daughter of the Yao Manor. If it weren't for her elder sister being the imperial concubine, how could her character hold her position as the official's wife?

No one could blame her for her impatience back then. As soon as she had entered the residence, she had kicked out her first-in-line daughter. With such a matriarch, the reputation of the Gu Estate in the capital could be easily imagined.

However, with Lady Yao's character, it would be beneficial for them. Before she came back, she was still a bit afraid of Lady Yao. However, after seeing her impatient appearance, she felt reassured.

It wasn't worth her time to think about such a woman. It was no wonder that the Second Branch's Madame Li didn't put her in her eyes. The one to pay attention in the Gu Estate was the one she had to pay her respects to tomorrow.

No matter how she thought about it, her grandmother's face had always been blurry. The only thing she could remember was the ferocious and terrifying face she had had when she was young and facing her third uncle.

The thin youth from before stood by the side with an ice-cold expression, while Lady Zhen pointed at him and shouted hysterically.

She was slightly startled as that handsome and cold face appeared in her mind again. When she turned her head slightly, a trace of gentleness flowed out of her eyes.

Her heart thumped in her chest. It had been half a month since she left Binzhou, but that shadow was growing clearer in her heart.
