She watched in a daze, not knowing that Madam Wang had lost her composure from the shock. She opened her mouth wide and said, "You …" You are... "Third Master Gu?"

Yang Shao was about to cry from his wife's idiocy, so he reprimanded her in a low voice, "Impudence!" He turned to Gu Yiqing and smiled awkwardly, "San Ye …" This is clumsy. "

Gu Yiqing nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, Madam Sister-in-law."

The voice was like the splashing of jade in a spring, unspeakably warm and pleasant to the ears.

Gu Jinzhu was dazed for a moment. A man with such an outstanding appearance was rare. Even though her fiancé, Chen Yunze, could be considered handsome, he was like the clouds in the sky and the mud beneath his feet.

Before she could react, Yang Shao pushed her in front of the VIP and urged, "Zhu, quickly greet Lord Third …"

Gu Jinzhu raised her head and bumped into the pair of eyes that were pitch black and deep like jet black jade.

His eyes were as bright and cold as stars, and the corners of his eyes had the curve of a phoenix's tail. He gave her a cold look, and she immediately sobered up as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her.

She obediently blessed herself and softly said, "I have … "Lord Third."

That's what Uncle calls it, that's what she calls it, isn't it?

Although he came from the Gu family, she didn't have the slightest impression of him, so she didn't know what to call him.

That person's eyes were cold and clear, carrying with it a sharp, icy glow. Like Gu Ze's snow under the bright sun, he looked warm without a trace of warmth. He also carried with him a silent sense of oppression.

He sized her up and said, "You're Zhu?"

Gu Jinzhu was stunned. This person looked young, but why did he sound like an elder?

The man smiled. With warmth in his eyes, he said lightly, "I am Gu Yiqing. Speaking of which, you have to call me Third Uncle."

Three... Uncle?

Gu Jinzhu suddenly froze.

He saw her surprise and didn't explain further. He only said indifferently, "I wasn't at the Gu family when you left that year, so you probably don't remember."

Before Gu Jinzhu could say anything, she heard Yang Shao laugh, "Zhu, quickly sit down. Master Gu San came specially from the Shengjing to pick you up. It can be seen how much State Duke and his wife wish for you to return as soon as possible! However, I heard that the Cloud Prefecture has been busy repairing the road, and the road is not easy to walk on. This time, Master Gu has come to spend some time with me, so that I can do my best as a host. "

These last words were said to the Third Master of the Gu Clan with a face full of enthusiasm, anxious to keep this esteemed guest here.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yiqing shook his head and sighed, "I can only accept Yang Gong's good intentions. I came to work for Prince Rui and was entrusted by my elder brother's wife to escort Zhu back. I'm afraid I'll have to take my leave tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow morning? Yang Shao and Madam Wang were both shocked, while Gu Jinzhu's heart skipped a beat as well.

"This... Isn't this too hasty? "Why are you in such a hurry? If it's not for Master San delaying us for another two days, Zhu would have had to clean up anyway …" Yang Shao rubbed his hands together with a troubled expression on his face. Wasn't this leaving too fast?

"The prince's order can't be delayed …" Gu Yiqing smiled and looked at Jinzhu.

Yang Shao also looked eagerly at Jinzhu. He secretly gave Madam Wang a meaningful look, hoping that she would drag her niece to buy him some time.

Madam Wang's mouth instantly filled with bitter water as she thought about the matter of Chen Family.

Lady Chen had said that she wanted to let Gu Jinzhu see clearly. Now that Gu Jinzhu had left, wouldn't Yang Family be the one to suffer? He might not be able to tell Master about this, but it was obvious that after tomorrow, the Chen and Yang families would become the laughingstocks of the entire Linan City.

However, she really didn't have any way to force him to stay. Anxiously, she grabbed Gu Jinzhu's hand and howled, "My poor son, you've been under me for almost ten years, and we're no different from mother and daughter. You're just leaving like this, aren't you just digging out the flesh in my heart? How can I bear to part with you …"

Seeing Madam Wang put on an act, Gu Jinzhu felt it was funny. If she hadn't left, she wouldn't have known how to deal with her. If she hadn't left, she would have been the fool.

A trace of sadness appeared on her face as she wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "Aunt, don't be sad. Zhu couldn't bear to part with Third Uncle's work, but it's not appropriate for her to do so. Besides, Zhu not going home for eight years is also missing her parents.

Madam Wang's mouth was wide open. She couldn't stop him from going to see her parents, could she?

Seeing that she was tongue-tied and unwilling, Gu Jinzhu smiled and turned to Gu Yiqing. "Since San …" Since Uncle is busy with official business, I will leave with you tomorrow morning. "

Gu Yiqing looked at her bright eyes and nodded.

Yang Shao immediately said with a face full of disappointment, "Then I'll have to invite Master San again next time, but Master Gu has worked hard on this journey and prepared a thin wine. I hope Master San will reward me. Zhu should go back and prepare well."

This time, Gu Yiqing didn't refuse and followed Yang Shao out. The guard in black immediately followed.

The room instantly quieted down. Gu Jinzhu turned her head and lowered her eyebrows at Madam Wang, saying, "Aunt, if there's nothing else, Zhu will go and clean up. After all, she has to leave tomorrow morning."

Madam Wang was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief apart. She clearly wanted this little girl to look good, but now …

However, she could do nothing but impatiently wave her hand, "Forget it, go."

Gu Jinzhu smiled and turned to head downstairs.

The night wind blew across his face, blowing him with a cold stream of air. There was not a single star in the sky, so it would probably rain again tomorrow.

Without Madam Wang's order, she could no longer ride on the sedan chair, so she could only slowly walk back along the lake shore.

Biwan didn't follow, she didn't even have a little girl behind her, but she walked at a leisurely pace. A cool breeze blew up her skirt and her long shadow swayed under the light. Her slim back looked somewhat lonely.

This scene entered the eyes of the guests on the bridge, who were not far away.

Gu Yiqing stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood a servant dressed in black. He looked at Gu Jinzhu who was walking slowly beside the lake. His eyes were as calm as a pool of water with a touch of indifference.

This niece of his in name was as beautiful and slender as he had imagined. She was as delicate and delicate as a lily, just like her mother who had died young.

The woman's face in his memories had long since blurred, and he only remembered that she was the one and only person in the Gu Mansion who showed him her kind intentions.

He thought of the urgent look in Gu Jinzhu's eyes when they left, and asked the servant in black behind him, "Go and check on how Eldest Miss is doing in the Yang Mansion."

The waiter answered, and after a few movements, he disappeared into the night without a sound.
