C66 Incident (1/2)

With her teeth itching in anger, Lady Yao could not sit still any longer and could only personally make a trip to the Jade Bamboo Garden.

Gu Jinzhu was sitting in the corridor, drawing tricks with the two girls when she heard someone call out from outside, ”Eldest Miss, the Madam is here.”

Gu Jinzhu was startled. Since her return, when had Lady Yao ever personally come to the Jade Bamboo Garden? She hurried out with the sweet scent of chamomile.

A large group of maidservants followed behind Lady Yao with their legs moving in the wind. When they saw her, they smiled benevolently and said, ”Zhu Er, why did you come out? The sun is so high outside, quickly go in.”

Gu Jinzhu smiled and said, ”My daughter only came out to welcome you when she heard mother coming over. It's so hot, so why did you come over personally?”

As she spoke, she supported Yao Yao by her arm. She smiled and said, ”I just came out from the old lady's place and was just about to walk over here when I wanted to see you …”

As the two of them entered the room, Lady Yao looked around and smiled. ”Since you moved here, mother has been too busy to spare the time. She hasn't come to take a look. How is it? Are you used to living here?”

Hearing this hypocritical statement, Gu Jinzhu's expression didn't change. With a gentle smile, she said, ”Fortunately, it's right next to the lake, so it's not that hot.”

There were no ice basins, but the windows were open and the wind blew through the gauze, dispersing the heat in the room.

Lady Yao didn't answer and only smiled. ”That's good.”

Using the light from outside, she carefully examined Gu Jinzhu's face. No matter how she looked at it, her skin was white and tender to the extreme, without the slightest hint of illness.

She gritted her teeth and swept her gaze across the dressing table without batting an eyelid. She was shocked, ”Zhu'er, your sister. Didn't I give you some rouge balm from the palace? Why didn't I see you use it? ”

Her expression was somewhat urgent as she looked at Gu Jinzhu doubtfully at her. She quickly suppressed the anxiety in her heart and concealed a smile. ”I only saw that your skin color was so good. I was thinking of using that palace recipe and also thinking of asking esteemed wangfei for some help.”

Gu Jinzhu smiled apologetically, ”About that, the gifts my sister sent are naturally excellent, but my third sister came over to be a guest. She really loves those rouge, just like how I asked for it.”

”What?” Lady Yao's vision went dark and she stood up in shock. Her face changed color as she said, ”You're saying that those things were taken by Third Miss?”

Gu Jinzhu nodded.

Lady Yao nearly vomited a mouthful of blood. In her rage, she couldn't even speak properly. She pointed at Gu Jinzhu and trembled, ”You …” How can you give her these things? ”She …”

Before she could finish her words, she saw Gu Jinzhu and the two girls behind her stare at her with puzzled expressions. She immediately reacted and suppressed the anger in her heart as she forcefully smiled and said, ”I mean that good stuff. The third girl is still young, so give it to her. ”What a pity.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Jin Wu hurried in, looking flustered. ”Madame, Madame, something has happened to Third Miss!”

Mrs Yao said angrily, ”What can happen? What are you looking like, flustered! ”

”Yes, Madame,” he said frantically. But Third Young Miss, the situation isn't good. I heard there was a rash on her face that itched so much she used her hands to scratch it. Her face was already covered in blood. Madame Jiang was so anxious that she was about to faint!

”What?” Lady Yao was so shocked that her entire face changed. She hastily walked outside and even forgot to inform Gu Jinzhu.

As they walked, they asked anxiously, ”Have you called a doctor?”

”Aunt Jiang has already sent someone to invite the most famous doctor of the Ju'an Hall, Doctor Zhao, but Third Miss is now in a state of turmoil. No one can stop her.”

With Yao's hurried steps, the maidservants behind him hurriedly followed. In just a few moments, the entire group of people had disappeared without a trace.

Yun Xiang touched her chest and said in surprise, ”Heavens! What's going on? Why is Third Miss so well and sick?”
