"What …" This... "This …" Madam Wang was flabbergasted, her heart was flustered and flustered. She only had this precious daughter of hers, and after finally being able to say that she had a good home, if Chen Family were to annul the marriage, her daughter's reputation would be ruined.

However, thinking of what the little girl had just said, she dared not rashly make her move again. With a bitter face, she wanted to say something, but Lady Chen stood up and said, "My Matriarch has suffered a shock. She's returning home now. Madam, please take care of her family matters as soon as possible!"

After saying so, he didn't even spare a glance at Madam Wang. He instructed the servants to help Matriarch Chen up before leaving. Madam Wang followed behind with a bitter face, praising the others. The other madams and mistresses also bid their farewells.

In an instant, everyone in the hall left. Madam Wang looked at Gu Jinzhu, who was still being held by her wife, with eyes full of resentment.

She was clearly a slut, yet at such a young age, she could be so vicious. Having disturbed her daughter's marriage, she felt like chewing on it. She didn't expect her life to be so good, to have a great backer at such a crucial time!

She struggled continuously in her heart. After a long while, she suppressed the hatred in her eyes and put on a loving smile. She walked over and shouted at the old woman who was grabbing Gu Jinzhu, "Who gave you dog guts to touch Miss Watch with your dirty claws? Hurry up and let go of me! "

The women on both sides were shocked. They looked at each other, not knowing what Madam Wang was trying to say. Madam Wang scolded her after a moment of hesitation.

The women quickly retreated. Gu Jinzhu held onto her wrist, which was hurting. However, she was still somewhat bewildered and uncertain as to what tricks Madam Wang was playing.

Shouldn't she be getting someone to lock her up in the woodshed?

Madam Wang's face was plastered with a smile. It was a smile so fake that it made people want to puke, but she held her hand and sighed, "Zhu, don't blame me for this. With so many wives just now, how can I explain this to the public if I didn't put on an act? Come to think of it, your temperament is a little stubborn, and this action of yours caused Chen Family to … "

Gu Jinzhu's expression immediately darkened. She lowered her eyelashes with a cold expression.

Madam Wang looked at her expression and suddenly stopped talking. A trace of a smile appeared on her face as she said, "Heh, don't mention it anymore. Come to think of it, there was a joyous occasion today, your Shengjing father sent someone to pick you up, it was truly not easy, and when you were six years old and came here, there was no news from the capital at all.

The more Madam Wang said something, the more she felt her words become sour. However, Gu Jinzhu suddenly raised her head and looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say?"

"Zhu, you still don't know?" Someone is coming from the State Duke's Mansion. Your uncle is currently accompanying you in the main hall, talking … "

Madam Wang said something after that. Gu Jinzhu's head was buzzing, and her heart was beating rapidly.

It was Biwan who heard it clearly. She jumped out and asked in surprise, "Madam, do you mean that Master has sent someone to pick up the Miss?"

Madam Wang secretly rolled her eyes and snappily replied, "That's right, the master just sent a message, asking your Miss to hurry over."

Biwan didn't notice Madam Wang's actions at all. After being stunned for a moment, tears started streaming down her face due to the excitement. She grabbed onto Gu Jinzhu's hand and sobbed, "Miss, Miss, did you hear that? The old master has come to pick you up, he has not forgotten about you, you are going back to the capital to be the great miss of State Duke's Mansion … "

Madam Wang gritted her teeth in envy, but she couldn't help but laugh. "That's right, Zhu, hurry up and pack up. Your esteemed guest is still waiting …"

In contrast to Biwan's excitement, Gu Jinzhu's heart felt strangely calm.

After being brought to the Yang Mansion by her grandmother at the age of six, her biological father had ignored her for a whole eight years.

Even when her grandmother was dying, afraid that she would be left unattended, she had sent three urgent letters to the capital in hopes of getting her back, but no one had paid any attention to her. Why did they remember her now?

In her ears, Biwan was both crying and laughing, repeatedly shouting "God bless us", causing her to feel extremely troubled.

Madam Wang, however, did not care much. She gave the order for the maidservants to comb her hair into a bun and put her in place. Then, she called for a couple of sedans to carry her towards the front hall.

On the lakeshore of the western courtyard of Yang Family, there was an exquisite looking pavilion. The corridor of the small bridge, filled with light and water colors, was indescribably exquisite. Standing on top of the building, it gave off a light breeze.

The Patriarch of Yang Family, Yang Shao, was extremely anxious at the moment. He was also very excited as he respectfully looked at the tall figure with his back facing him, not daring to make a sound.

A handsome figure dressed in green was concentrating on looking at a picture of a Green Mountain Pine Crane on the wall. Behind his hands, he appeared leisurely, and one could only see ink-like black hair fluttering down.

There was a black clothed underling standing next to him. His face was grave and his posture was tall and straight, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. They carried a trace of bloodthirsty chilliness as they coldly stared at Yang Shao.

Within a few moments, the Yang Family Master's forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

Huuu ~ ~ ~ His gaze was too terrifying. It was just a mere undergrowth that made it seem as if he wanted to pull out his blade and kill someone at any time. It wasn't like he would do anything to his family's master.

He silently cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of emotion on his face. This was the Third Master who had gathered all his State Duke's Mansion. Although he had heard that he was unfavoured within the Palace, he had heard in recent years that he had pledged allegiance to Prince Rui.

With just a tiny Yang Family, he had fawned over a sixth rank officer like that, let alone the great man of the capital.

No matter what, this was a good opportunity bestowed upon him by the Divine Yang Family. No matter what, the main young miss of the State Duke's Mansion had already lived here for nearly eight years.

Yang Shao was delighted and a bit anxious. Why hasn't he sent someone to bring Jinzhu over yet?

Just as he was thinking about whether he should send more people to rush him, he saw attendant running in from the outside, "Master, Madam and Miss Biao have arrived."

Yang Shao was overjoyed. Before he could say anything, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs outside. At the same time, the man in green who was looking at the painting also turned around.

Gu Jinzhu followed behind Madam Wang. As soon as she stepped through the door, she felt a light flash in front of her eyes. The green-clothed man who was standing in front of the painting and smiling back at her suddenly dashed into her eyes.

That person just stood there casually, looking like the moon in the sky. He was dressed in simple green clothes, but he was even more tall and handsome than Cui Zhu outside the courtyard.

His appearance was elegant and graceful, his hair was pitch-black like ink, and the orange candlelight shined on his body. When it shined on his body, it seemed like a cages made of moonlight, as if a beautiful man had walked down from a painting made of ink.
