C70 Bottom (1/2)

Yesterday, no matter how hard she tried, Gu Qingyuan wouldn't let go and punish Gu Jinzhu. He even warned her that this matter would end here and not allow her to do anything else.

Lady Yao was so angry that her heart ached. Even though she had put in so much effort, she couldn't hurt Gu Jinzhu in the slightest.

Gu Beitang also felt it was inconceivable. Her father usually doted on her, but she didn't expect that after coming back for only a few days, her father's heart would be completely set on her side. This made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

She spun twice on the ground with a trace of anxiety on her face. ”Mom, we can't go on like this. Third Sister's face is so bad that even Father isn't helping her. If we let that bitch gain a foothold, who knows what might happen in the future?”

”How would I not know? But right now, your father is very protective, so if we attack again, it will only anger your father. This morning, he even told me to bring that slut to attend the chrysanthemum feast, waiting for her precious daughter to come out.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Bi Tong's face. ”Since father is so eager for big sister to come out, why don't we take advantage of his intentions?”

Mistress Yao was stunned before she angrily said, ”Then wouldn't that be letting that little bitch off?”

She was very clear that with Gu Jinzhu's looks, she would definitely shock everyone at the banquet.

There were so many precious girls in the capital, and very few could surpass her in terms of looks. Even his own daughter, Bi Tong, had such a bright and beautiful appearance.

”There are many ways to become famous, but none of them are necessarily good.”

She stood up and walked towards a rose. She pinched off a petal and crushed it into pieces. The bright red juice instantly dyed her fingertip red, but it couldn't match the cold smile in her eyes.

”You mean —”

”You don't have to worry about this matter. Since father wants you to take her there, you should do it beautifully. Oh right, I don't know if Big Sis has any clothes or jewelry, but since you want to see me, of course you can't be too shabby. I still have two sets of clothes on me, so why not send them over to let father know how considerate you are.”

Seeing that her daughter had an idea, Lady Yao immediately calmed down.

It could be said that the person she trusted the most was her own daughter.

Gu Beitang had been intelligent since she was young and had been taught by Imperial Concubine Shi. She was far more scheming than she was, and usually when there were matters, Lady Yao would ask her for her opinion. Thus, in the Gu household, other than the Zhen Clan, Gu Bi Tong was the one in charge.

Within the Jade Bamboo Garden.

Su Ju looked eagerly at the door, running one trip after another. Yun Xiang could not help but ask, ”What are you looking at? So long? ”

Su Ju pouted and said, ”Didn't Master say he would give it to Miss as a gift? Why is no one coming at this time? ”

Yun Xiang was also startled. Yesterday, Gu Qingyuan had said that he would bring over an ice bucket and some money. She too had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Who knew that it was almost noon, and no one had come yet?

When Yun Xiang entered the room, Gu Jinzhu had tied a simple bun on her head and was currently leaning on the bed with a book to casually flip through.

Yun Xiang said in disappointment, ”Miss, Master. Did you forget what you said yesterday? Otherwise, why haven't you come over yet? ”

Gu Jinzhu's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything.

In her heart, she didn't hold much hope. Although she hadn't seen her father for many times, she knew Gu Qingyuan too well.
