Gu Bitong laughed. "What's the matter with Guan Hua? Isn't your physique the same as mine? Hurry up and find an imperial physician from the palace to treat your allergies."

Gu Bijin was unable to contain her joy. She quickly expressed her thanks. "Then, thank you very much, Second Sister."

Gu Jinzhu took the incense and walked around the other side. The voices of the two sisters gradually faded away.

Unbeknownst to them, a trace of doubt flashed in Gu Bitong's eyes as she looked at Bijin's face.

Evening, within the Jinwu House.

Mrs. Yao leaned against the rohan bed with a languid expression. The little girl had a jade hammer in her hand and was hammering on her leg with it.

Gu Bitong lifted the curtain and came in. She didn't wait for Mrs. Yao to speak before she dismissed all her maidservants.

Mrs. Yao sat up and waved her hand with a smile. "My son, why are you in such a hurry? Hurry to your mother's side."

"Mother." Gu Bitong had an anxious look on her face as she tugged on Mrs. Yao's sleeve. "That box of rouge … it doesn't seem to be for Big Sis anymore."

"What?" Mrs. Yao was shocked.

Gu Bitong quickly recounted Gu Bijin's symptoms, then added, "I suspect that she gave that box of rouge to Third Sister."

"It can't be." Mrs. Yao hesitated. "That was sent out from the palace. How could she give it up?"

"Then why is Third Sister's face red while Big Sister's face is fine?"

Gu Bitong's face was anxious. She had gone through great pains to get that box of rouge. If she hadn't given it to Gu Jinzhu, then all her efforts would have been in vain.

Mrs. Yao thought for a moment, then soothed her daughter, "Don't worry, didn't Third Young Madam suffer from allergies before? "Maybe it's just a coincidence, the amount of medicine in that box of rouge is too small, and it won't take effect that quickly, unless we use it together with that skincare ointment. I don't believe that she's willing to give these good things to Jin."

Gu Bitong calmed herself down. She didn't believe Gu Jinzhu's luck was that good, but she still warned Mrs. Yao, "You'd better call that girl Magpie over tomorrow morning and ask her about it. This isn't a small matter. There can't be any loopholes."

Mrs. Yao nodded. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll call Magpie over tomorrow."

However, the two girls never thought that Gu Jinzhu didn't give those things to Gu Bijin, but rather snatched them herself.

The sky was already dark, and the magpie was still kneeling at the door. After kneeling for so long, it was already crying and begging for forgiveness. This girl was no longer as prideful as she was before.

Seeing her return, she immediately perked up and rushed over to hug her leg, wailing loudly. "Eldest Miss, your servant knows his wrongs. Why don't you spare my servant?"

Without even glancing at her, Gu Jinzhu walked around her and quickly entered the room.

Yun Xiang followed behind her with no trace of sympathy on her face.

That night, no matter how the magpie cried, Gu Jinzhu ignored it and hung her for the entire night.

For someone like her, who was always ready to give her master trouble in the dark, if she didn't deal with him once and for all, it would be even more troublesome in the future.

The magpie was a proud and sharp person, and from time to time he would beat and scold others that his wife had sent. Now that he was being punished, no one was willing to take care of her, so Willow and Xiao Cui had long since closed their doors to rest.

It was Grandma Wang who finally threw a cushion at her, causing her to suffer through the night.

The next morning, the magpie was like an eggplant that had been frozen by the frost. Gu Jinzhu ordered someone to carry her back to her room. After that, she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Within the Jinwu House, Mrs. Yao looked at Qiqiao in front of her, and a displeased expression appeared on her face.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in Green Bamboo Garden? Why did you come over? Where's the magpie? "

Qiqiao blessed herself, a trace of grievance appearing on her face. "Reporting to Madam, it's not that I'm willing to come, it's just that I'm a magpie." "She won't be able to come, so this servant was afraid of delaying Madam from her questioning. Thus, I found an opportunity to come over."

Mrs. Yao was stunned. "What happened to the magpie?"

Qiqiao told them all about what happened yesterday, then wiped her eyes and said, "Madam, it's true that you didn't see it. Magpie knelt for an entire night, I'm afraid both his legs are going to be crippled …"

Mrs. Yao gritted her teeth in hatred. She wasn't able to see that this little girl was really ruthless!

The magpie's leg was injured, so he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of things for her for the time being. Luckily, he still had Qiqiao.

She hurriedly asked Qiqiao about the matter and said anxiously, "Did you use that little hoof of hers? It can't be that he's giving it to someone else, right? "

Qiqiao shook her head and said dejectedly, "Madam, this servant doesn't know that the eldest young miss has never trusted us and has never allowed us to come into her room to serve her. So …" This servant is also not clear about the matter of rouge. "

A look of disappointment appeared on Mrs. Yao's face, and she couldn't help but throw the teacup beside her at Qiqiao, saying angrily, "Trash!" "It's been such a long time since you've won slut's trust. You can't even serve her in close proximity, so what's the point in keeping you guys alive!"

Qiqiao's face was drenched in hot tea, but she didn't dare to dodge. She kneeled down and said, "Madam is clear that the First Miss is very cautious. Other than the two girls beside her, no one else is trustworthy. This servant has no other choice!"

Looking at Mrs. Yaoyin's sullen anger, she hastily added, "Please don't be angry Madam. This servant will definitely think of a way to find out if Eldest Miss used that rouge. Does Madame have any other orders?"

Mrs. Yao waved her hand and told her to scram. She felt as if a thorn had pierced into her heart.

Why did such an accident always happen every time he wanted to teach that little hoof a lesson?

I hope that slut still used those things, but the effect of the medicine was too late.

However, before Qiqiao knew that Gu Jinzhu didn't use rouge, a notice from the Great Miss Zhu Family of the Taoist temple had already been sent over.

He had invited the Gu Clan's young lady to the Zhu Residence Courtyard because he knew that the Gu Clan's young master and young miss had returned to the capital, and had especially invited Gu Jinzhu to go with them.

Mrs. Yao frowned as she looked at the vermilion note in her hand. The young lady of the Taoist temple had a great reputation in the capital. She was a renowned talented woman and was one of the core members of the group of Lady.

In the era of the previous emperor, there had been a favored imperial concubine. Now, Miss Zhu was not only famous, but her brother was also a guard in front of the imperial palace at a young age. He was a popular person in front of the emperor, and Mrs. Yao Er had taught her that her daughter had to be on good terms with her.

This Miss Zhu had an elegant personality. Every August, she would hold a chrysanthemum feast at the side yard and invite Lady, who was the head of the capital, to meet. Gu Bitong also had some reputation in the capital, so naturally she was included in the invitation list.

The person that Miss Zhu invited was not only someone from a good family, but also someone who was proficient and outstanding. To be able to show her face once at the chrysanthemum appreciation feast, she had undoubtedly truly stepped into the Shengjing realm, Ladyya. This was something that Mrs. Yao was unwilling to see.

The reason why she sent the rouge to Gu Jinzhu in advance was because she had calculated that she would lose her temper at this time and would not be able to attend the banquet.

Gu Jinzhu had just returned to the capital, so those who knew of her would definitely be curious about her, the chief lady of State Duke's Mansion, who had been staying in Jiangnan.

However, as long as there was a problem with her face, she could only stay in the manor. After a long time, who would still remember her? Gu Qingyuan's calculations would naturally fail as well.

She had planned everything out well, but she didn't expect Gu Jinzhu's face to be fine until now!
