C55 Demonstration (1/2)
The people from the second room weren't present yesterday, so they didn't know about those things. Gu Yuerong was already used to the scented green area, so she asked for more.
Before Gu Jinzhu could answer, Gu Beitang raised her eyebrows and asked, ”Bee?”
”That's a little girl by Eldest Miss's side. Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence that yesterday, she seemed to have been injured as well. Alas, both of her little girls were injured, so Eldest Miss doesn't have anyone to serve her …”
Gu Beitang smiled and looked at Gu Jinzhu, ”Since that's the case, how about I find two girls to serve elder sister?”
Gu Jinzhu lightly refused, ”Thank you for your consideration, sister. The few girls that I sent to my mother were already quite good. Moreover, those two girls didn't have heavy injuries. They'll be fine in a few days, so there's no need to trouble them.”
Gu Beitang didn't insist. She smiled and said, ”Then forget it.” She looked at the little girl behind Gu Jinzhu and asked, ”Is this the magpie in my mother's room?”
The magpie quickly blessed her with a bow. ”Miss, your servant is indeed the magpie.” Her expression was countless times more respectful than when she was looking at Gu Jinzhu. She lowered her head and followed her gaze, no longer having the sharp expression from before.
Lady Yao smiled from the side. ”Zhu'er just returned, so the servants by her side weren't enough. I saw that this magpie was quite useful, so I called her over.”
After asking a few more questions about how magpie was doing by the girl's side, the magpie hesitantly looked at Gu Jinzhu with a wronged expression, but said, ”Big Miss treats this servant very well. This servant is very used to the Jade Bamboo Garden.”
”That's good then,” Gu Bi Tong laughed. She then ordered someone to reward her with something small before continuing, ”You're someone who's out of the Mother Courtyard, so naturally everything will be fine. In the future, you'll be able to serve your elder sister with all your heart.”
After receiving the reward, the magpie was overjoyed for a moment. It hurriedly thanked the Second Miss with an attentive expression before returning to Gu Jinzhu's side.
Gu Jinzhu looked at everything with cold eyes, but her eyes didn't waver in the slightest.
She already knew that magpie was restless, but she didn't expect that his heart was this strong. He actually dared to put medicine in her eyes in front of everyone. Her wronged expression revealed itself, making everyone think that she was deliberately being unkind to the person Lady Yao sent over.
Gu Jinzhu accompanied Madam Zhen for a few more words before leaving.
Not long after he returned to the Jade Bamboo Garden, Gu Bi Tong sent a little girl over and sent two sets of clothes along with a bottle of medicine.
Even though Yun Xiang's hand was injured, she could not stay idle. She personally put the item away and even thanked the little girl. However, the little girl stood on the spot with an expression of arrogance.
”Elder sister, is there anything else?”
The girl raised her chin. ”I heard you have a girl named Bee?”
She had been lying in her room, and when she heard her name, she struggled to her feet and went out the door. ”Who called me?” she asked.
The girl looked her up and down, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes. How dare you, break the master's name! The ”jade” character is used by the second and third young miss of the mansion, how could a servant like you dare to take it? ”
