C49 (2/2)
The servant smiled, but there was no trace of fear on his face. He said, ”This servant doesn't know. Anyway, Madam has said that no one else can enter. Eldest Miss should wait for a few days before visiting.”
The moment he said this, even the usually calm Yun Xiang couldn't help but be angered. She said angrily, ”This garden belongs to the Gu Residence, not just the Second Miss. Why can't others enter? ”Isn't this a little too overbearing …”
Just as they were arguing, they heard a delicate voice say, ”What are you all doing here? Do you want to be lazy or not?”
The servant turned around and his face lit up as he said to Gu Jinlong, ”Madam's Big Sister Jinwu is here. If Miss has anything to say, you should tell her.”
After saying that, without waiting for her to speak, he turned around and ran off like a wisp of smoke.
A tall girl wearing an apricot-colored long skirt walked over. It was indeed the girl next to Lady Yao, Jin Wu.
When Jin Wu saw Gu Jinlong and the other two, he was stunned. He immediately went forward to pay his respects, then smiled. ”Why is the eldest Miss here?”
Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, ”I had nothing to do after my afternoon nap, so I wanted to take a walk around the garden. Unexpectedly, I was stopped.”
Jin Wu's face didn't change at all, and he only laughed. ”Aiya, that's unfortunate. Madame just said that this garden should be taken care of, and this place is dusty and muddy. Eldest Miss should wait for a few days.”
Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything, but she pointed at a few laughing figures in the distance and said, ”Since it's inside, why is there still someone playing inside?”
In the bushes far away, there was a figure wearing a vermillion robe, together with a few girls throwing themselves at flowers and playing with butterflies. From time to time, a bell-like laughter could be heard.
Jin Wu smiled. ”Third Miss is bringing the girls to pick flowers and prepare to put them into a vase for Second Miss. They grew up together and have the best relationship with each other. Third Miss is most familiar with Second Miss' preferences.”
She talked like this for a long time. In any case, Gu Jinzhu was not allowed to enter, causing her face to turn pale with anger. She was just about to say something when Gu Jinzhu stopped her, ”Alright, then we won't enter. Let's go back first.”
She was the first to turn around, with Yun Xiang following behind her.
On the way back, Gu Jinzhu's expression was not good. No matter who was stepped on on the head by a maidservant, they would not feel happy.
”This second young miss is too overbearing! Isn't it just a backyard? Could it be that once she comes back, no one will be allowed to go?”
Yun Xiang sighed, ”Who said I wasn't!? It seems like the second young miss is really spoiled in the manor. The madam specially arranged this garden for her, but it can't be like this, even the eldest young miss can't enter. If these words get out, people might even say that she's harsh! ”
”I think she's the one who isn't afraid. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a shameless thing …”
The two girls cursed angrily. Gu Jinzhu turned around and said, ”Alright, isn't it just a garden? It's worth it for you two to act so magnanimously!”
”Little girl,” said Bea, ”Isn't Jin Wu too much? He's bullying you. Do you want me to secretly beat him up to vent your anger?”
Yun Xiang raised both her hands in approval. ”Okay, okay. Tonight then, take a linen bag and cover her head. Then, beat her up. See if she still dares to bully others!”
