In the afternoon, they climbed up to the top of the mountain. The aristocratic ladies did not walk much, so they were already panting from exhaustion.

Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh when she saw them looking as if they had lost half their lives, but when she thought of Nanji's words, she forcefully held them back.

"Are you all right?" Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that Nanfang was also a big miss, and perhaps she was already exhausted. However, when she turned her head to look towards the south, she discovered that even though her face was covered in sweat, she was still slender and elegant, and her appearance didn't look out of place.

Gu Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. This was the appearance of a young lady from a noble clan, and she had such an aura about her. Looking at the group of people sprawled on the pavilion, she sighed. They were all similarly prominent young ladies, so why was the difference so huge?

Especially Gu An, who was panting heavily as she crossed her legs. How could she have the demeanor of a young miss? If one were to say that she was a woman who had just finished farming, perhaps there would be people who would believe it.

He wondered if the Crown Prince would fall for her after seeing her like this.

"An An, we just need to rest for a bit." When the Zhang family saw that the other young mistresses had almost recovered, she quickly gave a reminder to Gu An An An. When her gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxiao and Nan Lian, however, she felt displeased.

He really did not expect that the mountain road that he had walked for so long would actually be so dignified. Well, Gu Xiaoxiao, I'd like to see what you look like after using the Joyous Union Powder.

Sun Chang had always cared about what she ate the most. Seeing that Mrs Zhang did not speak for a long time, she asked, "Madam Hou, we are almost done resting. Where would you like to eat today?"

Hearing the word "eating", Gu Xiaoxiao's stomach began to growl. She couldn't help teasing, "I didn't expect that Xiaoxiao's stomach would play so loud."

Gu Xiaoxiao wasn't embarrassed at all. "Zhang family has a lot of face. I'm sure we'll be able to enjoy the delicacies of the sea and the mountains today."

Indeed, she was right. No matter what, she was still the direct descendent of the big family of the Shang Shu Manor. However, the meals today, in her eyes, were all very precious ingredients.

The other young mistresses also exclaimed in admiration. "An An, aren't you too blessed to have a mother like Mrs. Zhang?"

Gu An An An pretended to be shy as she lowered her head. Actually, they rarely ate these things in the house of the Marquis. Today, they had only taken out these ingredients to show their face.

A bigger reason was that Mrs Zhang didn't think Gu Xiaoxiao had eaten any good food before. Upon seeing this, she would definitely be unable to control herself. This way, her Joyous Union Powder wouldn't be wasted.

Sun Chang looked at the dishes on the table without the slightest trace of politeness. She even rolled up her sleeves in front of everyone. Although most of the young mistresses felt that this action was inappropriate, none of them spoke to remind Sun Chang. It seemed that she did not have many close friends with them, and everyone was only close to her because of the empress.

"Xiaoxiao, you should eat more. Ever since the incident last time, many people thought that the house of the Marquis had wronged you. Today, you must give it a proper reputation." Mrs Zhang said as she gave Gu Xiaoxiao a lot of good dishes.

Looking at the Zhang clan's appearance, Gu Xiaoxiao thought that the Zhang clan was doing this to prove that the house of the Marquis had never mistreated her.

"I have merely spoken of what happened to me. As for whether I am wronged or not, I believe in the hearts of justice." After Gu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she ate some of the dishes in the bowl.

But after he ate a few mouthfuls, Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that Gu An'an hadn't even touched his chopsticks since the beginning. His gaze was still darting towards her.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the dish? Impossible, most of the aristocratic ladies in the capital were here. Even if the Zhang family ate the heart of the leopard, they would not dare to mess with the food.

Or was there a problem with his cutlery? Gu Xiaoxiao was a bit regretful. She should have checked it out properly just now. Gu Xiaoxiao became a lot more vigilant as she watched Gu An An An's expression. She also stopped what she was doing.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang saw that Gu Xiaoxiao didn't continue eating, so she quickly asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoxiao? Is the food not to your liking? Do you want me to ask the chef to change another serving?"

Gu Xiaoxiao ignored her, shaking her head with a cold expression.

Seeing her like this, Sun Chang coldly snorted with disdain, "You don't even know who you are. To actually dare to come here and slap your face, there's really a fool who thinks you can live a life without worries just because you've won the empress's heart."

"Isn't that so? Chang'er, you're the esteemed empress's niece. There's some people who only spoke a few words to the empress, but still dare to put on airs."

Gu An An pretended to be afraid and hurried out to smooth things over. "Sisters, don't say it like that. Big sister has this kind of personality. Mother and I have long since gotten used to it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs Zhang obediently wiped away her tears, as if Gu Xiaoxiao really was the unfilial daughter of the house of the Marquis.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also suddenly curious. If Sun Chang continued like this, wouldn't it cause the empress to be displeased?

The reason the Empress helped Sun Chang was because Sun Chang was her niece. In order to gain face, she had to help her. However, if the day came when Sun Chang crossed the line, would she still help her in dealing with the aftermath?

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao was distracted, she quickly patted her. Gu Xiaoxiao realized that someone was mocking her.

"The empress's holy will isn't something an ordinary person like you or me can speculate about." "It's best to be careful when doing things and talking about them. If anything happens to the empress's ears, I don't know if she'll think about it too much."

Sun Chang slapped the table hard. The empress was her own aunt, yet Gu Xiaoxiao had the audacity to lie in front of her.

"Gu Xiaoxiao, do you believe that if I say a few words to the empress auntie, you'll die without a burial ground?"

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered. She was here to save the Qi King. The empress had placed all her hopes on her. Even if Sun Chang were to expose the truth, the empress would probably not even touch her.

"If you want to say it, then go ahead. I'm sorry, but I'm not accompanying you." With that, Gu Xiaoxiao turned and left. This meal was really too strange, and the Zhang clan was too cordial.

Not long after he walked out the door, Gu Xiaoxiao felt weak all over, and even a little bit hot, an indescribable feeling.

"Damn it!" It was her negligence. She didn't expect Mrs Zhang to be so despicable as to give her an aphrodisiac. If she lost her virginity, wouldn't the Hou Mansion become the joke of the entire capital? It seemed that the Zhang Clan had really put in a lot of effort.

Fine, just you wait, Zhang clan. One day, I will do the same to you and return the favor!
